"Green mountains and rivers bridge head collection, love poetry has affection." Qiaotou Market Town, located in the southeast of Hefei, has become famous in recent years for building a "love tunnel" and building a "Chinese poetry town". In the geographical map of Hefei and even Anhui, Qiaotouji is a very common place name. Its name is said to be that during the Qing Xianfeng period, a Hefei Zhixian concerned about the people's livelihood, and built a bridge on a river on the bank of Xiaoge Village under Longquan Mountain to facilitate local residents and pedestrians to come and go, and the west bank of the bridge gradually formed a commercial market, so it was named QiaotouJi.
Now, it also has a more resounding name: "Charming Mountain Town". This is due to its unique topography and natural resources. Majestic Dabie Mountain, the remnants of the vein from west to east, to the bridgehead set a belt, forming a group of mountains: Longquan Mountain, Shuangshan, Meishan, Jianshan, White Horse Mountain, Black Tiger Mountain, Yangzi Mountain, Malong Mountain, Qingyang Mountain... The total area of the town is 102 square kilometers, the cultivated land area is 22,000 mu, the mountain forest area is 35,000 mu, and the forest coverage rate is 47%. At a glance, it is lush and refreshing. It is also a "national flower demonstration base". Calling it a mountain town is well deserved.
On December 20, 2020, at the "Changgu Road Looking at the Mountain Town" held in Qiaotou Market Town- Feidong County Qiaotou Market Town Cultural Tourism Investment Promotion Conference, the "Most Beautiful Ten Scenic Spots" of Mountain Town were officially selected: Longquan Ancient Temple, Happy Forest, Love Tunnel, Blue Mountain Bay, Meishan Immortal Cave, Lover's Dock, "Double Mountain Beacon", "Tianchi Range Rover", Anhui Mei Bamboo Pond, and Mountain King Peony. It has become a cultural tourism landmark of Qiaotou Market Town and a "net red punch card" loved by the majority of Hefei citizens and foreign tourists, which has also further demonstrated the charm of Mountain Town.
The mountain is not high, and the immortal is named. The first mountain among the mountains is Longquan Mountain. According to the "Ancient and Modern Book Integration: Luzhou Mountains and Rivers" compiled by Qing Kangxi Chen Menglei, there is a "dragon spring" in the mountainside temple, and the clear flow flows to the bottom of the mountain, so it is called Longquan Mountain. This temple on the mountainside is called Longquan Ancient Temple. The temple is named after the spring, and the mountain is won by the temple. In the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1045 AD), a generation of literary heroes Ouyang Xiu served as the too punctual in Chuzhou, and once came to visit the mountains, taste the spring water, listed longquan as the "thirteenth spring under the world", and erected a monument to record it. The monument erected by Ouyang Xiu has now disappeared. According to the existing "Longquan Stele" in the temple, the temple was built in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty, and was rebuilt in the fifth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. It is a veritable thousand-year-old temple.
The Dragon Spring is clear and there are many interesting facts. The first is that the spring water is maintained at 18 ° C all year round, sweet and refreshing, and there are 23 kinds of minerals and trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. If you take a coin and gently place it on top of the spring water, the tension of the water can make it float for a long time.
In addition, there is an ancient well in the temple, which was originally a spring hole and was transformed for the convenience of water intake. On the four sides of the ancient wellhead, the four words "only I am content" are carved, but each lacks a partial side head "mouth"; and the "mouth" word in the middle wellhead just makes up for the lack of four side edges. The four words "only I am content" have a profound meaning, which means that to be a human being like a well, no matter how much you take or take less, you always maintain a horizontal line; this has also become a state of cultivation.
Then there is the water of the ancient temple spring, flowing to the watershed of fifty meters outside the temple, which divides the spring water into two paths, and reasonably adjusts and distributes the water volume of the two ponds in the north and south, so that the farmland under the mountain can be irrigated. The design of the sages, ingenious craftsmanship, known as "Xiaodu Jiangyan".
Famous mountains out of celebrities, Longquan Mountain under Gejiazui, in the late Qing Dynasty there was a Longquan Jingshe, also known as Longquan Bookstore, with a collection of more than 70,000 books (at that time, Luzhou Fuxue had only 20,000 books and Hefei County School had nearly 10,000 books). "Longquan Jingshe" was named by the late Qing Dynasty's heavy minister and Great Confucian Zeng Guofan and personally inscribed a plaque, which became famous. The owner of the jingshe was Xu Ziling, the "first monster" known as the "Three Monsters of Hefei". Xu Ziling (1812-1876), Zi Shuwei, Yi Zi Xi Shu, Yi Fu, late Longquan LaoMu. Compared with the other two "three monsters" Zhu Jingzhao (1823-1878) and Wang Shangchen (1826-1902), he was not only older, but also debuted early. He was one year younger than Zeng Guofan (1811-1872), and in the 15th year of Daoguang (1835), he was also one year later than Zeng Guofan (Daoguang Fourteenth Zhongju), who went to Beijing to participate in the entrance examination and was able to get acquainted with Zeng Guofan. Because he was a protégé of Yao Ying, the nephew of the Third Ancestor of the Tongcheng Sect, Yao Nai, he was truly passed on. After Yao Ying's death, Xu Ziling was entrusted by his family to write the "Epitaph of Mr. Yao in Tongcheng", which shows that the two have a great relationship. Zeng Guofan claimed to be a disciple of Yao Nai's private shu, so he looked at Xu Ziling with blue eyes and knew him very well. After he led the Xiang army to capture Anqing, he summoned Xu Ziling to serve as an aide. In the surviving Diary of Zeng Guofan, from the 25th day of December of the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1862.1.24) to the 24th of August of the third year of Tongzhi (24 September 1864), there are as many as 14 records of interaction with Xu Ziling. Every time Xu came, he would sit for a long time, talk for a long time, and sometimes leave a meal to eat together. Xu is good at traditional Chinese medicine, and Zeng also asked him for a consultation: "Xu Yifu has come to talk for a long time. Qu Shan Doctor, because please diagnose Yu Pulse, said that the six pulses are weak, it is advisable to take supplements, and because chen concubines vomit blood, can not eat, please see them, early afternoon. ("Diary of Zeng Guofan", Diary of April 14 of the first year of Tongzhi) This is due to the rich resources of thousands of Chinese medicinal materials on Longquan Mountain, which has cultivated Xu Ziling's traditional Chinese medicine kung fu.
In addition to Zeng Guofan, Xu Ziling was also a rural teacher before Li Hongzhang's debut, and there were many anecdotes and legends about the anecdotes between them in Hefei, and became the Zhang Ben of local literature. Xu Ziling himself is also very rich in writing, including "Dungen Jizhai Poetry Wencun" and "Small Records of Robbery", of which only two volumes of "Dungen Jizhai Poetry Cun" have a total of 545 appendices; he is concerned about the sufferings of the people, such as "Hungry Women's Words", "Black Silver Sigh", "Beggar's Line", "House Leak", "Pipa Woman", etc., which profoundly expose the dark reality of the feudal end times. Tan Xian, a famous poet of the late Qing Dynasty, who served in Hefei Zhi County before and after the Sino-French War, "Ziling poems were called by Tan Xian, and his poems were selected from those composed by Dai Jialin and Wang Shangchen of Tongyi, and compiled them into "Hefei Three Family Poems". If the "Chinese poetry town" under construction in Qiaotouji can be traced back to some sources, Xu Ziling and his poetry works can be one of them.
Corresponding to Longquan Mountain is shuangshan mountain, which also has a centuries-old Buddhist temple "Shuangshan Temple", and an irregular oval pond called "Tianchi", which is crystal clear and is also a scenic spot. However, what remains in the depths of historical memory is a fierce "Defense Of The Two Mountains" during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. According to the "Chronicle of Feidong County", on May 11, 1938 (the twelfth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar), more than 1,000 Japanese troops attacked from Chaohu Lake in the direction of Hefei. The Kuomintang defenders joined forces with the Underground Communist Party of China to dig trenches to guard the Shuangshan Mountains on the road that the Japanese army had to pass, and the defenders were a company of the Nationalist Army and the "Red Gun Society" led by the underground Party of the Communist Party of China, with a total of more than 100 people. The enemy was outnumbered, and the defenders relied on the advantages of the terrain to persist on the shuangshan mountains for a day and a night, giving the Japanese a large number of casualties. In the end, the Japanese army detoured from the rear road to attack the defensive line, the defenders ran out of ammunition, and engaged in hand-to-hand and bloody battles with the invading Japanese devils, all of whom were heroically sacrificed. Until the autumn of 1945 (the 34th year of the Republic of China), Xie Zishan, a monk of Shuangshan Temple, out of patriotic enthusiasm, mourned the fallen soldiers, collected the bones of martyrs, and built a white bone pagoda on the right side of Shuangshan Temple. The tower is hexagonal, the diameter of the tower base is 2 meters, and the height is 3 meters; plus the remaining site of the double mountain sniper war on the mountain, there is a small Ge Pillbox that witnesses the fact of the Japanese invasion of China at the bottom of the mountain, and so on. These cultural relics of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, as red cultural attractions of the "Twin Mountains Beacon", inspire us to remember the martyrs, remember history, cherish today's peaceful and happy life, and strive to create a better future.
Moving from history to reality, we are pleased to see that today's Qiaotou jiren is working hard to achieve the second centenary goal of the Communist Party of China and take the road of industrial revitalization based on characteristic towns. Here, an old railway transport line built in the 1970s, brewed by time and carefully planned by creative people, produced a breathtaking beauty, and has a beautiful and poetic name "Love Tunnel", which has become a sacred place of love that people have passed on orally and lingered. If you want to enjoy the tranquility and warmth of the two-person world, you can also go to the sharp mountain between the Twin Mountains and the White Horse Mountain, the top of which has a microwave launch tower to complete the mission as a symbol, and the Lover's Dock under the mountain is far away from the hustle and bustle, in which you can enjoy yourself and me. If you are a woman and a family vacation, you can go to the parent-child paradise Blue Mountain Bay, where spring flowers, summer water, autumn mountain, winter food are the characteristics of four seasons tourism, and primary and secondary school students, teenagers science education and expansion are the focus of service, and have become the first choice for family tours, parent-child tours and student tours for Hefei and surrounding citizens. If you still want to be lively, "March 3, go up meishan." "The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the annual Meishan Temple Fair in Qiaotou Market Town. There is the famous Meishan Immortal Cave, a clear spring that slowly drips from the top of the cave, containing minerals that are beneficial for the treatment of eye diseases and other diseases. Zhutang Ecological Village, home to make noodles, is one of the three major noodle villages in China, Feidong noodles have a long history, unique flavor, is a famous intangible cultural heritage, here, you can taste delicious, observe the noodle making skills. What is even more amazing is the Shanwang peony in the Shanwang community, which is inherited from the Tang Ancestral Hall and has a history of more than 300 years; the Tang villagers here are descendants of the Ming Dynasty drama master Tang Xianzu, and the peony is planted inside and outside the ancestral temple, obviously influenced by the ancestral famous drama "Du Danting", and later introduced a variety of rare varieties from Luoyang and other places, the existing red, pink, white, yellow, and other six color systems, the whole community becomes a peony garden, to the blossom season, the flowers are everywhere, purple and red, beautiful. All in all, here, Wuhua Tianbao, Earth Spirit and Human Master, is by no means an empty word. Instead, generation after generation of bridgehead people have gathered people, relying on their own diligence and wisdom, working hard, struggling, and creating.
Because of this, the leaders of the party committee and government of Qiaotou Market Town, who have the wisdom to see the pearls, consult and contact the local elites and cultural figures, after careful planning and careful organization, have received unanimous response and active participation from the cadres and masses of the whole town. It took more than a year to compile this book that exudes a strong local atmosphere of "Qiaotou Collection", which is just like a long volume of character stories from ancient times to the present, the collection of heroes and children, and the competition of heroes and children.
The book is divided into two parts: "Historical Bridgehead Collectors" and "Recent, Modern and Contemporary Bridgehead Collectors". In line with the principle of thickening the present and thinning the past, the former part only includes 8 loyal subjects of the Yuan Dynasty, scribe Yu Que, ming dynasty founding generals Xu Yong and Ming Chengzu Ai, The father and son of Xu Zhong, a famous general of the Huai Army in the late Qing Dynasty, Liu Yulong, the ancestor of the Kang clan of traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Ziling, the "three monsters" of Luzhou, Xie Shuangjie Xie Jinwu, Xie Xueliang, who was martyred in the Sino-Japanese War, and the latter part wrote a total of 210 character manuscripts (including families and groups), including more than 230 characters. Among them, there are the old Red Army, the old Eighth Road, and the old New Fourth Army who participated in the revolution in the early days; the heroes and martyrs of the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the War of Self-Defense against Vietnam; there are scientists, educators, entrepreneurs, and celebrities in the cultural and artistic circles who were active in various fields after the founding of New China; there are also people from all walks of life who are concerned about their homeland in overseas Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao... They all went out from the Bridgehead, their roots are in the Bridgehead Collection, and their remarkable achievements have added glory to their hometowns. However, the book describes more of the bridgeheads who, after the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, have done their best, worked hard and made contributions to their hometown, For Feidong, and for the development of Hefei in all walks of life. Their deeds are simple and unpretentious, and the narrative in the book is also a simple and clear vernacular. I will not dwell on them here, but you can read them for yourself. Of all things in the world, man is the first. Chairman Mao Zedong also said: "The people, and only the people, are the driving force for creating history." It is in these deeds of "gathering people at the head of the bridge" that I feel the solid and tenacious footsteps of our motherland on the road of great rejuvenation. The development and changes of Qiaotou Market Town and the achievements and achievements of Qiaotou Ji people are also a microcosm of the development and progress of our great motherland.
Tribute, Bridgehead Set! Hailing, great Chinese people!
Our tomorrow must be better. is the preamble.
