East-leaning Hall —— Changes of Qiongdao

Liu Gongdao has a long history, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was the most important. The vicissitudes of Qiongdao will take you into the vicissitudes of Liu Gongdao. The exhibits inside are carved with thousands of pure natural jade. There are four groups on display in the Expo Park, with a total cost of 6.86 million yuan, and it is also the largest jade mural exhibition in China.

Liu Gongdao has a long history. According to expert research, as early as the Warring States period, people lived on the island. The murals show the life scenes of the island residents at that time. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were wars everywhere. Liu Min, the son of Liu Bian, the young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, went through all kinds of hardships and finally fled to Liu Gongdao. You see, Liu Gongquan was a clear spring dug by Liu Min and his wife on the island, which was the only fresh water source on the island at that time.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates often invaded the eastern coast of China. 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, wrote a letter to set up guards along the coast of the country. At that time, there was a 5 1 convoy, and Ahava was one of them. Since then, Liu Gongdao has become an important coastal defense area.

In the late Qing Dynasty, facing the invasion of world powers, the Qing government further strengthened coastal defense. 1888, Beiyang navy officially became an army. Liu Gongdao and Lushun in Liaodong Peninsula hold the throat of Bohai Sea, and their strategic position is very important. Therefore, they were chosen as berths for Beiyang Navy and its fleet. At the beginning of the founding of the army, Beiyang Navy had 25 large and small ships, ranking first in Asia and fourth in the world. After the army, due to the lack of funds for coastal defense and the misappropriation of naval funds by Cixi to build the Summer Palace, the construction of Beiyang Navy came to a standstill and was quickly overtaken by the Japanese Navy.

1894, Japan started the Sino-Japanese War in order to occupy Korea and conquer China. After the decisive battle in the Yellow Sea, Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang adopted the policy of "avoiding wars and protecting ships", and ordered beiyang fleet to retreat to Ahava from Lushun, forbidding fighting and surrendering the sea control right in the Yellow Sea to the enemy.

1On February 7th, 895, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Liu Gongdao, and the Beiyang Navy fought bloody battles. Unexpectedly, the torpedo boat headed by Wang Ping fled to Yantai and lied that it had fallen, completely crushing the last glimmer of hope for the prefect to wait for reinforcements. Seeing that the tide was gone, Ding swallowed opium and committed suicide in despair and indignation. 12 years, Tiaodian Niuchang Day -c stole the name and seal of the prefect and drafted the surrender. 17, the Japanese army landed in Liu Gongdao.

1April, 894 17, Li Hongzhang signed the treaty of shimonoseki with Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito on behalf of the Qing government. The signing of treaty of shimonoseki marked the end of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. As a witness of the formation and downfall of Beiyang Navy, Liu Gongdao silently drew a painful end to the Sino-Japanese War in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, imperialists from all walks of life set off a frenzy to carve up China. Due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, Britain leased Ahava from 1898- 1930 for 32 years, and then renewed Liu Gongdao 10 years, which means that Liu Gongdao was leased by Britain for 42 years. As we all know, Mr. Wen Yiduo has a very famous song of seven sons, and Weihai is one of the seven sons. Later, Liu Gongdao was occupied by the Japanese again. It was not until 1945 that Ahava was liberated and Liu Gongdao really returned to the embrace of the people. 1952, the People's Navy entered Liu Gongdao. From 65438 to 0985, Liu Gongdao was officially opened to the outside world from a closed military restricted zone.

Daxiong hall-sea temple

Gong Liu culture is one of the theme cultures in Liu Gongdao. Haisheng Temple will introduce you to the philanthropists Gong Liu and Liu Mu.

In the hall, there are two old people, Gong Liu and Liu Mu. On the east and west sides are "The Royal Catastrophe in the Late Han Dynasty" and "The Wandering Map of Qilu in Gong Liu", which tell the stories of Gong Liu and Liu Mu and the historical facts of wandering in Liu Gongdao. First of all, let's take a look at the royal catastrophe in the late Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs Zhang Rang, Zhong Zhao, etc. In history, it is called "Ten Regular Attendants". At that time, loyal ministers were exiled or killed, and the court was in a state of smog. In AD 189, Liu Hong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, died of illness, and Liu You, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, succeeded to the throne. As you can see, this is the young emperor Liu Bian, and this is his beloved princess Tang Fei. They are Gong Liu's father and mother.

Less emperor acceded to the throne only half a year, was deposed by * minister Dong Zhuo, while Dong made his nine-year-old half-brother Liu Xie emperor, known as Xian Di in history. We see that the little boy dragged by the samurai in the mural is Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, who was only nine years old at that time. This fat figure is Dong Zhuo.

In order to get rid of the root of the disease, Dong Zhuo ordered his cronies to poison Shaodi with pigeon wine, and at the same time, under the guise of Liu Xie's will, he gave Shaodi's mother He Taihou a death present. He ordered the samurai to strangle Tang Fei, who was pregnant at that time.

The heroes who were ordered to strangle Tang Fei once received Tang Fei's kindness. In order to repay his kindness, he did something during the execution. He knocked Tang Fei out with Mongolian medicine and pretended to be hanged. At the same time, he told his friend outside the palace-Zheng Tai, an honest official who abandoned his official at home. At that time, wars were raging, thieves were rampant, and almost all the unguarded graves outside Luoyang were stolen. On the night when Tang Fei was buried, a grave robber dug up her grave, opened the coffin and woke Tang Fei up, leaving the grave robber with a pearl. After Tang Fei found the Pearl of the Night, she was picked up by Zheng Tai who came later, and was escorted by Zheng Tai to the home of the 19th Confucius Sun Kongyin who lived in seclusion in Xiaolongshan.

Cao Cao, who was a captain of the army at that time in the palace, heard and witnessed all the changes in the palace. He was particularly dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's arrogance and waited for an opportunity to assassinate him. Later, the assassination failed, and Cao Cao had to flee Luoyang City overnight. After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Cang hastily fled Luoyang. On the way, the Lv Boshe family near Xiaolongshan was killed by mistake, and the government launched a large-scale investigation in the local area. After Kong Yin, who lived in seclusion in Xiaolongshan, learned about this situation, he left Xiaolongshan with his family and Tang Fei (pen name Biyun) in order to avoid the official investigation, of course, mainly to protect Tang Fei who was hiding at home.

When passing through Yang Jiacun, Biyun gave birth to a son, named Liu Min according to Shaodi's wishes, and the time was 190 (Liu Min is the Gong Liu enshrined in our temple). Since then, Kong Yin and his party have lived in Yang Jiacun for 65,438+00 years. During this period, Kong Yin taught Liu Min to study, practice martial arts, collect herbs and practice medicine. However, Liu Min was both civil and military in his early years.

In 204 AD, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and other governors and took the lead. When he learned that Tang Fei was still alive and gave birth to the little emperor's flesh and blood, he sent troops to capture him alive in order to avoid future trouble. When Kong Yin got the news, he asked an old fortune teller for advice. The old man said, "It's best to go to the seaside in the east and run for your life at the end of the day." So they decided to run east.

On the way, Kong Yin struggled with the gangster who robbed the Night Pearl and was seriously injured. In order not to implicate Biyun's mother and son, he and his family returned to their hometown in Qufu.

Liu Min and his mother slept in the wind, experienced hardships day and night, and finally came to the chapel at the end of the day in 207 AD. After that, the mother and son cultivated, fished and hunted, collected herbs and practiced medicine, which was deeply respected by the local people.

In 209 AD, Liu Min saved a drowning girl named Yan Rong, later Liu Mu, when she went fishing in the sea. After her mother died, Liu Min and Rong Yan lived alone. Later, they moved to Liu Gongdao to settle down. They lived by farming and fishing, and used to help boat people in distress. Whenever the waves are rough, people will see an old man holding a torch to guide the boat people on the island. I wonder how many boat people the two old people have saved. In order to thank Liu Min and his wife, people slowly called the island Liu Gongdao, and addressed Liu Min and his wife as "sea saints".

The Legend of Li Long is called the story of Lao Li with a bald tail by the people in Weihai. According to legend, Liu Min's mother was seriously ill. Liu Min heard that there is a kind of fairy grass with purple leaves and red stems in Wendeng Cangshan, which can cure all the diseases of her husband's family, so she went through all the hardships to find this kind of fairy grass. On the way home, Liu Min heard that a wife named Li was pregnant because she ate a sweet plum. She 14 months was barren and her life was dying. So, he kindly gave it to Li's sick wife. After eating, Li's wife gave birth to a son, whose shape is like a dragon. His father thought it was a monster, so he cut off the dragon's tail with a knife. Longzi reluctantly flew to Heilongjiang, from which the place name of Heilongjiang came. From then on, Li Long went back to his hometown to visit his mother once a year, which brought abundant rain to the local area and won people's love.

Sitting in the middle are two old people, Gong Liu and Liu Mu, who have been doing good deeds all their lives. Later generations praised them and said, "The god of storms is like Yu De, and heaven and earth float the sun and the moon. The solemn and sacred work of saving the sea is the feeling of the Spring and Autumn Period. " It expresses people's good wishes for peace and kindness. In Weihai, there is a saying that "when you go to Liu Gongdao, you must worship Gong Liu". Everyone can offer incense and light candles for Gong Liu and Liu Mu. May the two old people wish you good luck and peace all your life.

Donate to charity

Gong Liu and Liu Mu are charitable, and the virtue of helping the poor and needy is immortal. Ok, let's go on to visit the West Temple, which will last forever. After Gong Liu and Liu Mu settled on the island, they lived in peace and contentment and lived a very happy life. The mural shows a set of scenes when they were farming. In Weihai, there is an allusion to build a carp house with whale bones. Later, I will explain the legendary story in the mural to you in the second exhibition area.

"Divine Fire Directs Sailing" tells the story of Liu Min leading the boat people in the past. In 238 AD, a southern merchant ship sailed in Liu Gongdao. Suddenly, the wind and waves hit, and the boat people suddenly lost their way. Just when they were desperate, one night, they saw a flash of fire in the distance. At this time, the people on board struggled to paddle to the fire. As they approached, they found an old man holding a torch to guide them. After arriving at the island, another kind old woman cooked a lot of food to satisfy their hunger. After the boat people were rescued, they gratefully asked the names of the two old people. The old man smiled and answered, "Liu". Since then, many stories about the Liu couple's rescue of boat people in distress have been circulated among the people and admired by people.

After the two old people died, people built a temple on the sunny slope in the center of the island to commemorate them, and created statues of Gong Liu and Liu Mu. From then on, ships sailing from south to north will go to the temple to pray for the two old people and keep them safe at sea as long as they pass through Liu Gongdao.

In the late Qing Dynasty, during the British lease of Liu Gongdao, Liugong Temple was destroyed by war. After a century, Liu Gongdao Management Committee rebuilt the "Liugong Temple" on the island from the perspective of history and culture.
