History and Humanities

The name of Yuncao

Yuncao Town, Hanshan County, Ma'anshan City has a long history. It is said that when Xia Yu "chiseled Dongguan Shiliang as a channel for crossing water", there was a natural river here. At that time, it was just a mound in a vast ocean. After several changes of quicksand deposition, it gradually became "liaohuazhou". its establishment can be traced back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was called liaohuazhou, and later zhongzha and Caochuan. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei led the army to attack Wu and wanted to "cross Chaohu" for military purposes, so he excavated the ruxu River from Chaohu to the East. In order to compete with Cao Jun, Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty set up two passes, Dongguan and Xiguan, about ten kilometers to the east of the transport canal. As a result, Cao Cao failed to cross Chaohu Lake. The water transportation in the town is not only a witness of the historical changes, but also a base for the Wu army's grain, grass and supplies. Only by this way can people continue to gather popularity and accelerate the development of Commerce and culture. According to history, during the reign of Wu chiwu in the Three Kingdoms, Taoism built a three Yuan Temple in the town, and the incense was once at its peak. The fifth volume of Hanshan county annals of Kangxi states: "the canal river is 80 Li to the south of the county. "Yuanhe (prefecture) county annals" says: "in the chaos of Liang Hou Jing (in August of the second year of the Taiqing Dynasty, that is 548), Wang Seng Bian's army was in Wuhu, and Hou Zijian, the king general, stationed troops in Liangshan to defend the transport of water, so it's named." It can be seen from this that the name of Yuncao was first seen in various historical records in the middle of the sixth century, 548 A.D., and it has been 1461 years since then (that is to say, Yuncao town got its name in the early Ming Dynasty). According to the records of Yu Di Sheng Ji and the dictionary of ancient and modern place names, Yuncao town began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was called "Cao Yun" in ancient times. It was changed to "Yun Cao" in the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, and is still in use today. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty (17-22 years of Jian'an), Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty conquered Wu and "Siyue Chaohu". He once stationed troops in WuChao and feijiang Huaihe areas. In order to facilitate the March and transportation of food and military supplies, Cao's soldiers drove through ruxu River (also known as Caohe River) and sailed back and forth. In the 17th year of Jian'an (212) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty sent people to build a pass to reject Cao, and blocked the mouth of the river to form the Dongguan pass to suppress the Chaohu Lake. The transport of Cao River became the only way for Wu soldiers to advance and retreat. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also met the yuan army in this town. In 1664, the Qing government sent troops to guard the transport channel and copper gate. In 1832, the Qing army set up a camp in Yuncao. Xiao Mao recorded in his article "the Taiping Army's battle in Dongguan" (1853), "in order to prepare for the military pay, the Taiping army sent 600 or 700 warships from Tianjing (now Nanjing) to attack the Qing soldiers stationed in Chaohu Area, conquered Dongguan and transported the grain to Jiangning through Yuxi River and Sancha River", carrying 160000 loads of rice stored in the grain to Jiangning. Hong Renda and he Yalin, the generals of Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, led 8000 people to stay in Zha town. There are still traces of HaoGou and xiaohaogou around the town.

In the early years of the Republic of China, in memory of the great revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the shops of Yuncao town donated money to build this stage, in order to flaunt the prosperity of the Republic of China. The splendid Wannian terrace is more than ten feet high, with two floors, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and corners. The top of the terrace is made of bronze, and the wind chimes are four corners. In the middle of the stage, the green dragon grabs the Pearl and hangs it in the air. With metal coins and objects, it can roll and appear vividly. The couplets on both sides of the stage are inlaid, and the horizontal plaque with four big characters of "personal experience" on the top of the stage is written by Bao Jie, a famous calligrapher. The scale of wanniantai is the largest in the province. Every festival or major assembly, the villagers and neighbors come in flocks. On the stage, they play or sing, and off the stage, they enjoy themselves. It was demolished in 1963 due to disrepair. Other places of interest have gone through many vicissitudes, most of them have disappeared except for a few. The memorial archways in Zhenxi street and Shangda street, such as Xiaozi square, Hanlin square, zhenlie square and Zhenzhen square, are magnificent, but they have been demolished. There are more than ten ancestral halls in the town, and there are many Ming and Qing Hui style dwellings with two-story brick and wood structure and tile roof, which are simple and elegant, showing the ancient charm of vicissitudes.
