History of cultural relics

Liqiao, formerly known as liujiaqiao, is a natural agricultural market town. During the period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished in China with stable politics and prosperous economy. The liujiaqiao bridge on the shuihan wharf is full of merchants, goods and sales. Eight Temples (namely Tianwang temple, Huowang temple, Guanyin temple, Zaoye temple, Dawang temple, zushi temple and Guangong Temple) have been built on the North Bank of Honghe River. Liujiaqiao then formed the scale of two streets and six lanes in Honghe and four streets in Honghe. By the Northern Song Dynasty, it had reached its peak and had the reputation of "little Hankou". On March 28 of the lunar calendar, the traditional temple fair of the heavenly king of liujiaqiao will be held. At that time, merchants and people from Zhoukou and some counties and towns in Anhui Province will gather here, creating a scene of business prosperity. According to a 70 year old man in Liqiao Town, "it is said that before the end of Ming Dynasty, there were 72 streets in Liqiao Town, known as" xiaohankou ", which was destroyed by the" three attacks on Henan "of Li Zicheng's uprising.
In ancient times, the town was divided into two parts: the South and the north by the Honghe River. All the people came and went by ferry. There was a hundred year old willow tree on the north bank, which was more than four feet high. As a result of perennial river erosion, Salix trees poured into the river, and the tree tip extended to the south bank. When the water is small, pedestrians can walk on the trees to cross the river, so it is called liujiaqiao. For a long time, the big willow tree decayed, causing inconvenience to pedestrians. Later, several firms surnamed Li on the North Bank of the Honghe River raised funds to build a wooden bridge for the convenience of passers-by. From then on, Liujia bridge was changed into Lijia bridge. After liberation, it was changed to Liqiao to simplify its view, which continues to this day. As far back as the Zhou Dynasty, Liqiao belonged to the state of CAI. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the state of CAI was changed to caizhou. Liqiao was a commercial port under the jurisdiction of caizhou. According to the tenth record of Wang Baji Zun's biography in volume 20 of Houhanshu, Yao Dan, the son of Yao Qi, a great general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was granted the title of Marquis of Ge Ling. In the 15th year of Jianwu, Yao Dan was granted the title of Marquis of Ge Ling in the old city of Ge Ling (now the village of Ge Ling in Liqiao), where he was granted the title of marquis for several generations. Since then, Li Qiao had more gehou mausoleum, and later generations changed its name to gehou mausoleum. In May 1994, the Henan Provincial Institute of cultural relics and Archaeology formed an archaeological team to carry out rescue archaeological excavation. The tomb of Chu in the ancient city of Geling excavated 1571 bamboo slips from Geling, Xincai. In October 2003, Henan Provincial Institute of cultural relics and Archaeology compiled the Chu tomb in Geling, Xincai, which publicized and introduced the Chu tomb in Lijiao, Xincai. In May 2013, the ancient city of Geling was approved by the State Council as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. since the third year of Zhizhi reign of the Yuan Dynasty (1323), the Hui compatriots have migrated and settled here. There is a mosque in the south of Liqiao. The mosque in the south of Liqiao was built in the 10th year of Dade reign of the Yuan Dynasty (1306). Because it was initially built in caoding, it is called caoding worship temple. The original temple is 300 meters southwest of the present temple. In 1375, Chang Yuchun, a general of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, was ordered to rebuild the mosque. In 1613, the mosque was moved to the south of Honghe River. In 1769, the mosque was expanded. After liberation, the mosque was listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit. During the "Cultural Revolution", mosques were severely damaged and many cultural relics were burned and destroyed. After the flood in 1975, the mosque was reduced to ruins. In 1990, with the funds raised by the broad masses of ethnic groups, three worship halls, three water rooms, one kitchen and one funeral room were rebuilt in the original site of the temple. The temple covers an area of 1300 square meters. There is a gingko tree in the temple. According to the technician of Xincai County Forestry Bureau, the gingko tree is more than 600 years old, with a height of 16 meters, a crown of more than 20 meters and a circumference of 3.1 meters. The tree was struck by lightning many times and dried up. In 1985, the general survey team of Xincai County Bureau of cultural relics found the tree. It was collected and protected as a cultural relic. At present, it is entrusted to Liqiao mosque for management. The temple now retains a stone tablet of the Ming Dynasty, which is the Yuzan tablet of the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty. The upper part is engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the middle part is engraved with four characters: "long live the emperor". The inscription is "emperor Taizu Gao made Huihui religion" and the signature is "May 20, the eighth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty". during the Anti Japanese War, under the leadership of the Communist Party, the majority of Hui compatriots in Liqiao Hui town spontaneously organized the Hui people to fight against Japan together, set up the Hui people's Anti Japanese and national salvation service team, and actively carried out Anti Japanese and national salvation. From 1942 to 1945, the eighth District Commissioner's office of the Hubei Henan Anhui army moved from Runan to daguozhuang village committee.
