Zhugen town Wutong Bridge

1. Wutongqiao has a long history of over 2300 years. In Zhou Dynasty, the territory was under the jurisdiction of Shu state. After King Huiwen of Qin destroyed Shu, Shu county was established in 311 BC, and the territory was under the jurisdiction of Nan'an county. In May 1985, with the approval of the State Council, Leshan City was established as WUTONGQIAO district (county level) of Leshan City. The cliff tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the ancient ceramic kilns built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Five Dynasties (PS: tile kiln camel) are the strong proof of the long history of Wutongqiao. (2) historical memory (salt industry in Wutongqiao) Wutongqiao is an ancient salt farm with a long history, which is prosperous because of salt. It is said that in 250 BC, Li Bing, the governor of Shu, dug a well to boil salt in Hongyanzi, niuhuaxi, Wutongqiao, more than 2200 years ago. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Wutongqiao salt industry had a large scale. The scene of salt production in Wutongqiao is described by "the high and low tubes are in continuous flow, the sound of cars, the wheels and the wells are connected". By 1947, there were 5805 brine wells and 935 cooking stoves in Wutongqiao, with an average annual salt production of 50000 tons and the highest annual salt production of 60000 tons. More than 60000 people were directly or indirectly dependent on the salt industry. The folk saying that "Jin Qianwei, Yin Fushun" ("Jin Qianwei" actually refers to Wutongqiao) and "a thousand pigs, a hundred sheep and ten thousand stone rice are not as good as the early rising of qiaotan" reflects the prosperity of Wutongqiao. PS: there are several mountains burning coal, called carbon mountain

Zhao Juntao in Wutong Bridge

In August 1927, the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee sent Zhong Shanfu to Wutongqiao to engage in revolutionary activities, actively carry out the workers' movement and establish the party organization. Since then, Wutongqiao has a history of revolutionary struggle. In the late 1930s, Zhao Juntao, the younger sister of Comrade Zhao Shiyan, an important leader of the early founding of the Communist Party of China, came to Wutongqiao with his children Li Peng and Li Qiong to work underground as a teacher of tongcai middle school. Comrade Zhao Juntao organized the students to set up a "morning call team" to shout slogans and sing Anti Japanese songs in the urban area every morning to publicize the Anti Japanese war. Li Peng, the fourth premier of the people's Republic of China, also studied in tongcai primary school and spent an unforgettable time as a child in Wutongqiao.

Liu Bocheng in Wutong Bridge

From 1924 to 1925, a powerful man in history came here to recuperate. He was the proletarian revolutionist and militarist Marshal Liu Bocheng. Liu Bocheng was injured in his right leg during the civil war in Sichuan Province in 1923. He was seriously infected and almost amputated. Later, he accepted the advice of his old classmate Zhang Zhongming (known as Zhang Er brigade commander) and went to Wutongqiao to recuperate. On January 24, 1924, brigade commander Zhang Er personally escorted Liu Bocheng to the bridge. During his convalescence, Liu Bocheng sailed upstream to zengdian'er on the Bank of the Moxi River many times, drinking tea and fishing. He wrote a poem: "Cangshan Mountain stretches all over the world, and the green countryside is covered with cauliflower; the river boat breaks the shadow of flowers on the mountain, and the tea is replaced with floating tea.". In 1925, Liu Bocheng left Wutongqiao.
