Historical evolution

Tiantangzhai has been a place for military strategists since ancient times. In 570 B.C., Chu Zi attacked Wu again and conquered jiuchan, which was once the case. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang resisted the Yuan Dynasty and sent Cheng Lun, a scholar of the same rank, into the Dabie Mountains to organize the Western rebel army. Fu Gao, a righteous citizen of Duoyun mountain, led the public to respond. In 1277, he rebuilt Tiantangzhai in Duoyun mountain and was defeated and scattered. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Shouhui, a local cloth vendor, Peng yingyu, a monk in Jiangxi Province, and Zou Pusheng, a blacksmith in Macheng City, jointly discussed the anti yuan uprising, pushed Xu to lead the alliance, and rebuilt the Tiantangzhai in 1351. Tens of thousands of people rose up, known as the "red scarf army". In August of the same year, Luotian and keshui were taken as the imperial Qingquan temple, with the national name of "Tianwan" and Jianyuan "Zhiping". It swept across several provinces in the southeast, occupied one side of the country and became emperor for 11 years. The Tiantang, zoumachang, zaoqianao, Xiaoyao palace, invincible stele, shengucang and other sites left in Tiantangzhai are still indistinct. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a cloudy patrol department was set up and garrisoned for defense. in 1641 at the end of Ming Dynasty, Ma Shouying, Luo Rucai, he Yilong and other peasants who lived in the Dabie Mountains joined forces with Zhang Xianzhong to attack Tiantangzhai. Sun Daqi led 100000 soldiers and civilians to defend Tiantangzhai. The peasant army could not attack for a long time, but it was besieged for a long time, until the food in the village was exhausted, and there was a great epidemic, and the army and the people died. In the village, there are many hungry people, and there are piles of bones. The site is still debatable. In 1646, Wang Ding, the former Jianjun army of Henan Province in Ming Dynasty, who had settled in yanhulunao, Dahe, Luotian, his hometown, went out of the mountain to organize an anti Qing rebel army. He was granted the title of minister of the Ministry of war by Emperor Yongli and the governor Fengyang rebel army. With Tiantangzhai as the center, Wang directed the volunteers to fight in more than ten counties of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces for four or five years, which made Tiantangzhai famous. In 1752, farmer Ma Chaozhu launched an uprising of the white lotus sect in Tiantangzhai, which shocked Huguang. The foundation of Majiawu still exists in the mountain. From 1859 to 1864, Tiantangzhai became a strategic place for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army to compete with the Qing army and the militia. Hu Linyi, governor of Huguang, talked about this mountain and said, "if you can consolidate Hubei Province in the interior and Anhui Province in the exterior, if you manage it vigorously and keep it well, then you will have the power of not taking chenhuo in peacetime, and you will be able to build a high-rise house temporarily, and the center will be able to carry on its own, which will bring endless benefits.". In modern times, during the period of the new democratic revolution, the Red Army, the Anti Japanese guerrillas, the New Fourth Army and the people's Liberation Army led by the Communist Party of China, such as Gao Junting, Zhang tixue, Liu Min and Liao Peng, often went to Tiantangzhai to fight flexibly. In 1947, the world-famous army of Liu and Deng leaped into the Dabie Mountains, which opened the prelude to the strategic attack. Tiantangzhai is also an important activity area. In 1948, Liu Deng's headquarters was transferred to Jiuzihe. In March, Chen Xilian and Yan Hongyan presided over the Jiuzihe meeting to study and adhere to the strategic deployment of the Dabie mountain base. the long history of Tiantangzhai has left many cultural treasures.
