Legend has it that during the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou was plagued by years of famine, and the people did not have enough to live on. One day, five colorful clouds floated over the South China Sea, with five immortals riding on immortal sheep, carrying five-colored rice ears in their mouths. The immortals gave the ears of rice to the people and blessed the place to be free from famine forever. After the immortals left, the five immortal sheep stayed behind because of their attachment to the earth and blessed the place with good weather.

[War Story] Six Twenty-Three Road and the Shaki Tragedy

There is only one road in Guangzhou named entirely in numbers - Six Twenty-Three Road. It was named by the Guangzhou Municipal Government in 1925, initially as "June 23rd Road" and later shortened to "623rd Road". It commemorates a day that brought shame to the Chinese nation - June 23, 1925.

The predecessor of June 23rd Road was Shaji. It was built during the Second Opium War when the British and French invaded Guangzhou.

Shamian was originally a small island named "Zhongliusha" in the Pearl River, which was later connected to the north bank of the Pearl River by shallow water due to the southward shift of the river bank line.

In December 1857, the British and French Allied Forces occupied Guangzhou.

In July 1859, the Governor of Guangzhou, Mr. Huang Zonghan, agreed that the British and French Allied Forces should pay the expenses of redemption fee set by the Sino-British and Sino-French Treaty of Tianjin. In July 1859, Huang Zonghan, the Governor of Guangdong and France, agreed with the British and French allied forces to make a contribution to the redemption fee stipulated in the Sino-British and Sino-French Treaty of Tianjin, and manually excavated Shaji Chung, building the sandy surface into a small island surrounded by water on all sides and using it as a British and French tenancy. Sandy surface built East Bridge (now the foot of the People's Bridge), West Bridge (now the intersection of Qingping) connected to the sandy base.

In September 1861, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Lao Chongguang formally signed a lease of sandy surface with the British and French. October 1, the British and French forces withdrew from Guangzhou. However, the British and French have had the right to station troops in Sha Mian since then, and Sha Mian has since become a lease, until after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Sha Mian.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Shaji opened a school, medical center, printing office, rice port, etc., increasingly prosperous. 1901 Huangsha Guangdong-Han Railway Terminus was built, Shaji is one of the main corridors connecting the station and Guangzhou City. It is said that in order not to lose national prestige, the municipal authorities also emphasized that the houses built in Shaji should be of a certain size. 1902, the British wanted to extend the boundary to the area of Shaji, which was rejected by the Qing court.

On June 23, 1925, the Guangdong community held a meeting to denounce the imperialists in Shanghai to create the "May 30" tragedy, followed by a demonstration. The main leaders of the Guangdong Regional Committee of China **** Chen Yannian, Zhou Enlai participated in the march. At 2:15 p.m., the procession arrived in front of the Shaji, orderly turn into the vegetable bar street, towards the dispersal of the site of the watermelon garden (now Guangzhou Daily site) marching, after the team continued to march in an orderly manner in the Shaji, the Xidi area. 2:40 p.m., when the Lingnan University, Kunwi Women's Teacher Training School, Sacred Heart College, Deacons and the second primary school of Guangzhou, and the students of the Whampoa military academy and other teams marched to the Shaji, Shaimian West Bridge next to the domain of DuoLi hotel (now Victory Hotel). Hotel (now Victory Hotel) on a foreigner first with a pistol to the procession fired the first shot, has been in a state of alert at the foot of the West Bridge in Sha Mian, the British and French military forces that machine gun fire at the Sha Ji, the procession to avoid, on the spot, killed and wounded many people. In order to avoid the expansion of the situation, the Chinese soldiers and military school students who participated in the parade observed the discipline and did not return fire. Liao Zhongkai, leftist leader of the Kuomintang, Mrs. He Xiangning, personally led the Kwang Hwa Hospital medical staff to the scene. Afterwards, the statistics, the tragedy caused the marching masses *** there are 61 people died, more than 170 people were injured.

The tragedy provoked great anger among the Chinese people. Mr. Liao Zhongkai indignation pen wrote "the evidence of imperialist brutality, sub-colonial tragedy of the portrait" of the condemnation of imperialist atrocities of the inscription, as well as mourning the death of the martyrs of the Shaki elegy: "Danshi Fu Han was Anglo-Georgian poisonous conspiracy and perished, blood splash of the Shaki with the soul of the Huanghuagang chivalrous bones of a thousand years with the same. " ?

The night of the tragedy, the West Causeway Canaan building Zhou Guanming medical clinic physician Zhou Guanming, the first to write a letter to the Central Committee of the Kuomintang at the time of the revolutionary policy, proposed the establishment of a monument to stay a permanent memorial. The construction of the monument was later approved by the Guangzhou Municipal Government. This monument was constructed by Zhang Yangji, the location was built on the north bank of the Shamian West Bridge, next to the foot of the bridge, engraved with the words "Don't forget this day". It was completed on the first anniversary of the June 23rd tragedy. However, this monument is short. After the founding of New China, this monument was removed in 1950, but in Sha Mian East Bridge foot of a new higher and more majestic monument, engraved with "June 23, 1925, Sha Ji against imperialism in the struggle of the martyrs sacrificed in the immortal" two lines of big words.

After the tragedy, on June 28 in the KMT Guangzhou special party meeting, the KMT leftist Chen Qiwang proposed to ask the city government to change the Shaji to "June 23rd Road", was unanimously approved.

Now standing at the foot of the People's Bridge June 23rd Road monument, has been designated by the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government as a city cultural relics protection units and patriotism education base, which inspires the Chinese people, do not forget the shame of the past, and strive to revitalize China to stand on its own in the forest of the world's peoples.

[Historical allusion] Six Banyan without trees to remember Dongpo

Liu Banyan Temple's main door next to a pair of couplets, the first couplet says: "A tower has a monument to stay doctor", the second couplet is: "Six Banyan without trees to remember Dongpo," the upper and lower couplets are respectively recounting the Six Banyan Temple and the Tang and Song dynasties, two famous great writers of the abyss. The two couplets respectively recount the relationship between the temple and two famous literary figures of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Legend has it that in 675, Wang Bo, one of the Four Heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, came to Guangzhou and, at the invitation of the presiding officer of the Po Chuang Yen Temple (the predecessor of the Six Banyan Tree Temple), he wrote a poem entitled "The Record of the Shelly Pagoda of the Po Chuang Yen Temple in Guangzhou". Unexpectedly, Wang Bo was drowned on his way to the South China Sea to visit his relatives soon after he was invited to write the "Record of the Shelly Pagoda of Guangzhou Baozhuangyan Temple", which was his final piece of writing. The genius poet who wrote the ancient masterpiece "Tengwangge Preface" was already famous when he was a teenager, but has been unrecognized, "a tower has a monument to stay in the doctor", was written in the early years of the Republic of China, commemorating Wang Bo for the Shariputra written by the inscription.

Another great writer had a very different encounter. Northern Song Yuanfu three years (1110), Su Shi from the sea north to return, passing through Guangzhou, when the Jinghui Temple (also known as the six banyan temple) monks admiring the name of Dongpo, and force to invite him for the temple inscription. Su Dongpo saw six banyan trees in the temple, they were pleased to write "six banyan" two words, the word for the italic, Thu Liqi Ya, heavy and elegant. Later generations admired his person, love his literary talent, they will be Jinghui Temple changed to "six banyan temple", six banyan temple's name therefore, so far, the temple door is still hanging in the handwriting of Dongpo "six banyan" two words.

There is a pavilion inside the temple, called "Banyan Pavilion", all because the six ancient banyan trees of the Six Banyan Temple have long been gone, "six banyan trees remembered by Dong Po", in order to commemorate the relationship between Su Shi and the Six Banyan Temple, the people have built this Banyan Pavilion. Inside the hall, there is a statue of Su Dongpo cast in white jade, with Dongpo's sleeves flowing, standing on a stone base engraved with the words "Six Banyan", and the back of the base is engraved with the "Dingfengbo" in hot-stamped gold.

When a trumped-up Wutai Poetry Prison, Su Dongpo was criticized by a group of small, helplessly relegated to Huangzhou, and even friends and relatives do not come and go, the beginning of the loneliness and sadness, spiritual loneliness can be imagined, and one of his "Bu Shi Zi" to a very beautiful mood of the encounters:

The missing moon hangs in the sparse tungsten, leakage breaks the first quiet. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good look at this, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good look at this.

However, as Yu Qiuyu said, Su Dongpo was relegated to Huangzhou, and did not sink, a generation of literary charisma thus appeared, he was in the loneliness of his own introspection, introspection of the past, and experienced an overall sense of rebirth, out of the blue, his artistic talent has also been a distillation and sublimation. Su Dongpo is lucky, an ordeal, but inadvertently achieved him, but also achieved a page of Chinese literary history of the magnificent chapter. The magnificent "Nian Nujiao - Red Cliff Huai Gu" and before and after the "Red Cliff Fu" was born in exile in Huangzhou, played the Tang and Song poems in the bold melody:

The great river goes east, the waves have been exhausted, a thousand years of the people. The west side of the old fortress, people say is, the three countries Zhou Lang Red Cliff. The stones penetrate the air, the waves beat the shore, rolled up a thousand piles of snow. The mountains and rivers are like a picture, how many heroes at a time.

Su Dongpo in the ordeal of maturity, maturity in a kind of breakout after the regeneration. However, with him as the enemy of the political world, but still refused to let him go, he will be depreciated again and again, and finally depreciated to the so-called "isolated barriers to the sea, soil and water gas poisoning" Hainan Island. At this time, the Dongpo has long been deported to Huangzhou was not the lonely and unsupported deportation of the official, he is still enjoying himself in the hard life, and even live in high spirits, and discover the beauty of the scenery of Hainan Island, the beauty of the human condition:

Half-awake, half-drunken, ask the Lai, bamboo thorns and rattan step by step fan.

But looking for the cow vector to find the way back, home in the cattle pen west and west.

There were three or two children in the family, blowing onion leaves to send them home.

Don't be afraid to go to the end of the world, for there is a wind that dances in the clouds by the stream.

What a good "do not make the end of the world, the stream has its own dance cloud wind"! Su Dongpo at this time of sentiment, is not an unusual open-minded and transparent, after all the ups and downs of life, the face of the world, laughing at the wind and clouds, mature in a realization of the openness. So when pardoned to return to the north, gladly left the word "six banyan", so that the ancient temples and literary heroes from now on mirror each other, passed down through the ages. At this time, Dongpo's mood, "Dingfengbo" word has been said:

Mo listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo stick and shoes are lighter than a horse, who is afraid? The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money for the money you spend. The spring breeze blowing wine wake up, slightly cold, the mountain slanting light but welcome. I'm going back to the place where I was in the past, and I'm going back to the place where there's no rain or wind or sunshine.

Subsequent generations carved the words into the Six Banyan Tree Temple, and the silent banyan trees of the ancient temple, through the thousand years of wind and rain, watched over the figure of Dong Po's drifting home.

Ten miles a set (refers to the post), five miles a wait; running insidious, the dead following the road."

A hundred horses died in the valley, and now the elders are sad."

The area of Liwan, west of Guangzhou, has been a place where lychee has been produced in abundance throughout the ages. North and South Dynasty into, there have been patches of lychee continent appeared, the Tang Dynasty, there is a lychee famous "Lychee Garden".
