About building a bronze platform in the fountain

/kloc-in the summer of 0/929, warlords scuffled, and Zhou led his troops to fight with Tang's troops in Huangguoshu, Zhenning. Unfortunately, he was shot in the back by a chicken (place name) in the war at the age of 37, and his family wanted to restore this bronze statue as a souvenir. It is said that the local gentry, with the help of Tao, contributed to the construction of Guiyang and the stability of social order in order to commemorate Zhou as the chairman of Guizhou Province, and donated money to build Guiyang City as a memorial. There is a stone fence in front of the bronze statue, so people have to stand outside and watch.

At that time, the bronze statue platform lived in Sanmin East Road (now Yan 'an East Road) in the east, Sijie Garden (now Yan 'an Middle Road) in the west and Guangdong Street (now Zhonghua North Road) in the north. Later, three or four-story buildings were gradually built, and banks, gold shops, department stores, grain shops, preserved fruits and tobacco hotels were also established one after another, with an increasingly dense population.

After 1943, due to the increasing population year by year, the complex personnel composition and the infiltration of various kinds of life, the bronze platform gradually became a distribution center for shelter evil people and shelter evil practices. During the day, all kinds of retail stalls are lined up, rickshaws can be seen everywhere, witches, fortune tellers and superstitious activities abound, pickpocketing and extortion are daunting, and even the business of traffickers is openly started. At night, under the eerie light, smoking and selling opium, prostitution and whoring ... all five poisons are available. At that time, there was a jingle "Good bronze statue platform, strange things come everywhere", which was a true image portrayal of Guiyang bronze statue platform in the old society.

This building is unique, well-designed, made of stone, with exquisite craftsmanship, cloisters and stone pavilions. It is a "bronze platform" with stone cultural connotation and is famous for building a city. After liberation, in order to improve people's living conditions, rebuild the urban environment and create a good cultural atmosphere, the Party and the government built fountains, expanded Yan 'an Road and demolished the 1952 bronze platform. It is said that on the day when the bronze statue of Zhou Xicheng was pushed down, dark clouds shrouded, thunder and lightning flashed, and heavy rain poured down, and this bronze platform, which stood for 17 years, disappeared. Originally, the area around the bronze statue platform (now known as the fountain) was densely forested and fertile, so it was called "Black Sheep Daqing". In the Song Dynasty, a chief named Gurubezan led Miao ancestors to reclaim land here and was buried here after his death. Guru Sadazan's successor is Sheikh Seru Yujiu, who continued to rule neighboring tribes with great contributions and was buried here after his death. In order to commemorate their predecessors, Miao descendants will come to the bronze statue platform to pay homage on the eighth day of April every year. On this day, Miao compatriots in Guiyang, regardless of gender, age, distance, rain or shine, will take glutinous rice to visit the graves in bronze statue platform and Guangdong Street (now around Zhonghua North Road). Later, it gradually changed from commemorative activities to entertainment activities. On this day every year, the bronze statue platform (fountain) in Guiyang is full of people, singing and dancing, and it is happy.
