Historical evolution

In the seventh year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1062), Bao Gong died. The next year, his son-in-law Wen Xue transported his coffin to Hefei and buried it in Bao Xiaosu's cemetery.

In the three years of Song Zhiping (1066), in memory of the famous Qing official, the people of his hometown built an ancestral temple in Xinghua Temple in the old city, which was the earliest prototype of Baogong Temple.

In the first year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1488), Song Keming, who was Taishou in Luzhou, built the Baogong Academy here, where the descendants of the Bao family and some prestigious children in the city studied.

In the eighteenth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1539), Yang Zhan, the imperial court ruler, renovated the Baogong Academy and named it the Baogong Temple.

Officials and sages of the Ming and Qing dynasties renovated and increased the Baogong Temple. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Baogong Temple was once destroyed by war.

In the eighth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1882), Li Hongzhang, the Minister of the late Qing Dynasty, alone donated 2800 silver to rebuild the Baogong Temple, which was still on a large scale and added two compartments between East and west.

In the 28th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1902), Li Hongzhang's nephew and grandson, Li Guoxu, as a whole, wrote The Story of Xianghuadun Well Pavilion, which was inscribed on stone tablets. There is a story in the article that a Taishou drank the water in the well of Baogong Temple, and his headache was not stopped. Later generations learned that Taishou was a booty official, so there was a legend that the well water could judge whether the official was honest or not. Later generations have repaired a pavilion for this well, known as "Lianquan", which has remained so far.

In 1973, the provincial leaders appointed provincial museums, Municipal Cultural bureaus, and municipal public security bureaus to set up a leading group for the clean-up and excavation of Bao Cemetery, which was located in Daxingji, Feidong. The excavation ended in August of the same year. It lasted more than four months. A total of 12 tombs were excavated, including Duke Bao and his wife, Dong's, Cui's eldest daughter-in-law, Bao's second son, Wen's second daughter-in-law and Changsun Bao. Yongnian and other six epitaphs.

In 1981, Baogong Temple was re-published as the first provincial cultural relics protection units.

From 1985 to 87, the Bao Cemetery was rebuilt on the Bank of the Baohe River. The rebuilt Bao Xiaosu Cemetery was designed according to the historical records and the excavation data of the original Bao Cemetery. The architecture in the park was constructed according to the Song Dynasty's "Building French Form".

In 1999, in order to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Baogong's birth, the Hefei Municipal Government built the Qingfeng Pavilion, 42 meters high, with a construction area of 1700 square meters, five floors bright and four floors dark. It is a Song-style building.

In 2004, Bao Cemetery was selected as the third batch of key cultural relics protection units at the municipal level.

In 2005, in order to focus on building Baogong culture, Hefei Municipal Government integrated Baogong Temple, Baogong Cemetery, Qingfeng Pavilion, Fuzhuang and other scenic spots into Bao Park, which was successfully evaluated as the first national 4A-level tourist attraction in Hefei in early 2006.

In 2006, during the Golden Week of the National Day, Bao Park held the first "Bao Gong Culture Festival" with the theme of "Reproducing Bao Gong's History and Savoring Song Culture" as the theme, showing the activities of Kai Ya ceremony, Bao Gong Judgment Case, sacrificing Bao Gong, performing Bai Opera, bell playing and reproducing Song Street in the Song Dynasty. Since then, "Baogong Culture Festival" has been held during the annual National Day, becoming an annual cultural feast of Baogong.

In 2007, Bao Park was selected as the patriotic education base of Anhui Province.

In 2010, Bao Park was named by the Central Discipline Commission as the first batch of national anti-corruption education bases.

In October 2014, Qingfeng Pavilion was upgraded and renovated.

In July 2015, the transformation of Qingfeng Pavilion was completed.

At that time, there was no "Jade Belt Bridge" in the north of the island. One day, Bao Zheng enjoyed himself here and wanted to see the other side. So he jumped forward. Because Bao Zheng had given birth to the celestial opera star, this jump left a deep and big right footprint on the island, forming a small pond for a long time. So people call it "Footprint Pool".
