Introduction to Lian Heng

Lian Heng, the grandfather of former KMT chairman Lian Zhan, is a famous patriotic poet and historian in Taiwan, known as "the first person in Taiwan culture". Under the Japanese colonial rule, Lien Heng, who "rooted in Taiwan and cherished the mainland", made great efforts to carry forward Chinese culture. He obeyed the program of the alliance led by Sun Yat Sen, pinned his hope for the restoration of Taiwan on the rejuvenation of the motherland, and participated in the struggle to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. He is the author of "Taiwan language dictionary" and "mainland poetry grass" and so on, and collated the "general history of Taiwan", which is well-known.

In the spring of 1936, Lian Heng suffered from liver disease in Shanghai and died on June 28 at the age of 59. On his deathbed, he told his son Lian Zhendong: "today, Kou Yan is pressing. There will be a war between China and Japan. It is the right time to conquer Taiwan, and you should encourage it. " After less than February, Zhendong gave birth to his son, which was named "war". Lian Zhan also mentioned this matter in his book grandfather and me.

Introduction to the memorial

Lianheng memorial hall is located in the agate temple in the West Lake Scenic Area of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province.

The agate temple is a famous ancient Buddhist temple in Hangzhou West Lake scenic area. It is built on the mountain, with pink walls and tiles, and is hidden in the lush ancient trees. The museum uses the original wing room of the agate temple as the exhibition space, which is divided into seven exhibition halls, namely the Taiwan natural environment hall, the historical and cultural hall, the Taiwan Aboriginal hall, the Lianya Hall Memorial Hall, the Taiwan chronicles hall, the traditional arts and crafts hall, and the modern arts and crafts hall.

In the spring of 1926, Lian Heng and Shen Shaoyun came to Hangzhou and settled down in the agate temple to study and collate literature and history materials. His son, Lian Zhendong, once lived here. In January 1927, because the Northern Expedition troops entered Jiangxi and approached Zhejiang, Lian Heng was afraid of the disaster of war, so he left Hangzhou and returned to Taiwan with his family members.

In 2006, Lien Chan visited Hangzhou for the first time. He spoke highly of the architecture and environmental protection of the Manao temple, and put forward the idea of building the Manao temple into a platform for cross-strait cultural exchange. With the efforts of all parties, the Lianheng memorial hall has been jointly prepared and constructed by the national political research foundation of Taiwan and the West Lake scenic spots Management Committee of Hangzhou in two years.
