On a weekend afternoon in 2017, I took Shenzhen Metro Line 2 directly to the terminal station, Chiwan. I wanted to visit the tomb of the Young Emperor of song, but I delayed the trip at Wen Tianxiang Memorial Park and Chiwan Fort, but I did not succeed.
The author took a photo at the Chiwan Left Battery
"Chiwan Left Fortress Lin Zexu Bronze Statue
Chiwan Left Battery and Wen Tianxiang Memorial Park are not far apart, about 1-2 kilometers. Get out of Chiwan Subway Station, pick up the steps to Chiwan 6th Road, and walk more than 100 meters in the direction of Chiwan - ZuoPaotai Road. About a kilometer inside, there is a hillside, and on the hillside there is a bronze statue of Lin Zexu that is several meters high. The left battery is next to the bronze statue, leaving the former artillery dormitory.
Wen Tianxiang Memorial Park
Wen Tianxiang Memorial Park is located on a hill on Chiwan 6th Road (in the opposite direction of Chiwan). The hiking trail at the entrance of the park records Lin Zexu's memorabilia and poems in detail.
I thought to myself, Wen Tianxiang, as the humeral minister of Emperor Shao of Song, has a memorial park of such a scale, and the imperial tomb of Emperor Zhao Hao (Bing) of Song Shaodi is magnificent and worth seeing. After all, there is only one imperial tomb in Shenzhen and even Guangdong.
Statue of Lu Xiufu as emperor martyred by the sea
Recently, he lived in Shekou Prince Road and walked around idle. Sea World, Sihai Park, Shekou Port... Tomb of emperor Shao of Song.
The Tomb of Emperor Shao of Song is located at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain, at the intersection of Chiwan Shaodi Road and Chiwan Ninth Road, and across the road is Chiwan Park. The mausoleum of the Song Shao Emperor covers an area of less than 300 square meters, and contains the management office of the Shao Emperor Mausoleum, an octagonal pavilion and the decoration of offering incense.
"A complete view of the mausoleum of the Shao Emperor of Song
There is no obvious mountain gate and eye-catching inscription stone stele, and the wall is separated by a high-end community, which is easy for tourists to miss if they are not careful - mistakenly thinking that it is a corner of the park that remains when the community was built.

This is not built by the royal family, it looks very cold, but it really buries the last little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The inscription of the mausoleum "Tomb of Emperor Shao of Song and Emperor Shao of Song" and the inscription "Tombstone of The Expansion of the Tomb of Emperor Xiangxing of Song" and "Tombstone of Emperor Fu of Song" record in detail the information of Zhao Fu's birth and death and various stories that were accepted and circulated by the public.
Tombstone of the Song Emperor (donated by the Zhao Clan Association of Hong Kong in 1984)
Expansion of the tombstone of the Song Xiangxing Emperor (established in 1984 by the Cho Clan Association of Hong Kong)
According to the inscription in the Tomb of the Young Emperor, the current scale of the Tomb of the Young Emperor song was expanded in 1984 by the Hong Kong Zhao Clan Relatives Association raising more than 250,000 Hong Kong dollars and the Shekou Industrial Zone Tourism Company donating 150,000 Hong Kong dollars.
If it were not for the state's development of the South China Sea oil field in the spring of 1983, the tomb of the Song Shao Emperor might have been hidden deep in the thorns of the southern foothills of Xiaonan Mountain.
In 1906, the Zhao clan discovered that in 1911, it was slightly repaired to replace the existing tombstones. After world war I, Zhao merchants in Hong Kong proposed to raise funds to repair the mausoleum. In 1920, he completed the fundraising and established the Hong Kong Cho Clan Shrine Association (the predecessor of the Hong Kong Cho Clan Association).
Later, in time for the Japanese invasion of China, the traffic from Hong Kong to Chiwan was blocked, and the Hong Kong Zhao Clan Association could not "exhibit the festival". In the following decades, the Zhao Clan Association in Hong Kong only knew that the tomb of Emperor Shao of Song was in Chiwan, and "did not know where the cemetery was."
In the spring of 1983, China developed the South China Sea oil field, and Chiwan was used as the logistics base. Through thorns and thorns, the tomb of Emperor Xiangxing of song was announced by discovery and expanded as a key cultural relics protection unit.
Later, after the Shekou Industrial Zone Tourism Company notified the Hong Kong Zhao Clan Association, the two sides donated 400,000 Hong Kong dollars together to jointly expand the tomb of Emperor Song Shao found in the thorny bushes, and it has the current scale.
Now (July 21, 2019), the tomb of the Song Shao Emperor has been surrounded by a baffle and began a new round of renovation. Unfortunately, somehow, the progress of the project is slow, and the banyan trees that are suspected to have been blown down by the 2018 mangosteen typhoon have been sawn to have long fungus, and the project is still not completed.
<h1>Short comment: Where is the speed of Shenzhen Cultural Protection? </h1>
When perusing the inscriptions and tombstones, he lamented that the widows of the Southern Song Dynasty were dying and struggling to return to heaven, so that the country was not an emperor or an emperor, and the kings and subjects were humiliated.
In addition to admiring Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, and others for their loyalty to the country, their heroic martyrdom, and their "heart to sweat and green," they were touched by their patriotic spirit, and they also complained in their hearts about the foolish loyalty of Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Wen Tianxiang, and other important ministers. From Zhao Xian, to Zhao Xuan, and finally to Zhao Fu as emperor, in less than two years, a young lord died and had almost no merit to escort him.
However, visiting the tomb of The Young Emperor of Song, especially when taking pictures with mobile phones, I felt that the back of my head was swept by a gust of wind. Bow your hands, mentally meditate: What an offense! Suddenly I felt that it was ridiculous to complain about the southern Song Dynasty," and a post-80s person who saw the imperial tomb also unconsciously "knelt down". I wonder if the psychology of modern people looking up to imperial power is normal?
I should be an example, otherwise the tomb of Emperor Shao of Song would not have been so dilapidated, and the renovation project would not have progressed so slowly. Compared with the speed of Shenzhen's city-building, this slowness is incredible.
In October 1983, the tomb of Emperor Shao of Song was listed as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in Shenzhen. In 1984, the funds for the first expansion project of the Young Emperor's Mausoleum were in place and immediately moved. This is authentic Shenzhen speed. Today, 35 years later, Shenzhen speed continues to write legends in the economic field, but where is the speed of cultural protection?
