Dapeng town

Dapeng Town, known as "Pengcheng" in ancient times, is located in Tongshan District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It has a long history and culture. As early as the Neolithic age, the original site of Dapeng Kingdom, which was enfeoffed by Tang Yu, one of the earliest clans in China, was in dapengji village of this town. Therefore, Xuzhou was named Pengcheng. Dapeng town is located in the western suburb of Xuzhou City, 8 kilometers away from the urban area, covering an area of 76 square kilometers. It is located at the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui, with superior geographical location and convenient transportation and communication.

The town and village highways are interwoven into a network, and buses 8 and 15 go directly to the town.

Historical remains

More than ten kilometers away in the western suburbs of Xuzhou, there is Dapeng mountain. According to the Ming Dynasty Jiajing's records of Xuzhou mountains and rivers

Twenty five li to the west of the city is called Chuwang mountain, and five li is Dapeng mountain. Old notes of Dapeng mountain: the ancient Dapeng family was granted here, hence its name. Around the mountain, it is still called Dapeng village.

According to "Tongshan County place name green" and the 1993 new edition of "Tongshan county annals", Dapeng mountain is located in the southwest of Jiahe Township, at the junction of Jiangsu and Anhui, with an altitude of 262.1 meters. In the Qing Dynasty, Dapeng mountain was changed to Yi'an mountain, and Shanyin coal mine was called Yi'an coal mine. Today it is still called Dapeng mountain.

Dapeng village, located in the shadow of Dapeng mountain, is the old town of Dapeng. According to the article "Pengcheng county" in Taiping Huanyu Ji:

According to the record of Pengmen, Pengzu, a virtuous Minister of Yin, was the great grandson of Zhuanxu. At the end of yin and 767 years old, the tomb still exists today, so it is called Da Pengyan.

Dapeng village, also known as dapengji, is a place for local people's market and trade. On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty Jiajing's Xuzhou annals, after "Dapeng mountain", explained that "the mountain is still called Dapeng village today". On the other hand, it said: "Bianhe River enters the state from Xiaoxian county to dapengji." It can be seen that Dapeng village was called dapengji in Ming Dynasty. Dapengji village was originally located in the east of today's Pengzu well. Due to the collapse of the coal field, it has been moved to the South half of the well. There are more than 120 families in the village, with a population of more than 600. Living on the back of the mountain, the house seems to be.

In addition, to the west of Xuzhou, there was dapenggou in ancient times. The chronicles of Xuzhou written by Jiajing of Ming Dynasty said:

Every winter and spring, Xiao and Dang saw the plain in full view, and the rain in summer and autumn fell down. They merged into a great flood, which was divided into dapenggou, longgou, Wuhe, hudiangou and yangshigou to reach Bianyan.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Yellow river overflowed many times, and the Dapeng gully was silted and leveled.

In the east of the former dapengji village, there was an old Pengzu temple with an iron statue of Pengzu, which is said to have been built in the Ming Dynasty. The iron statue was destroyed in the "Cultural Revolution" and the temple was destroyed in 1979 when the coal field collapsed. In 1993, Pengzu temple was rebuilt in the south of the original Temple site. It is 10 meters high, with three open halls, imitating the eaves of Hanxie mountain, covered with golden glazed tiles. In the temple, the original iron statue was imitated and the clay statue of Pengzu was molded. The temple yard is 300 square meters, surrounded by red walls. There are rebuilt steles in the yard.
