Yifeng Gate was built in the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, and it was one of the thirteen gates in the inner city of Jingshi in the early Ming Dynasty. It is said that there are dragons and phoenixes in the foothills of Lulong Mountain, so there are two gates: Zhongfu (east) and Yifeng (west). After Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved to Beijing, Yifeng and Zhongfu were once blocked for 2 years. Until the sixteenth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1659), Liang Huafeng unexpectedly opened Yifeng Gate to solve the siege of Zheng Chenggong, a famous anti-Qing dynasty in Nanming, and defeated Zheng Jun. In the late Qing Dynasty, Yifengmen was located at the south bank of the Yangtze River and under the Lulong Mountain. Yifengmen was the main road to Nanjing, and its military position was very important. Legend has it that after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved to Beijing, he blocked Yifengmen and nearby Zhongfumen. Apart from the geographical location, there is also a folk saying that there is a dragon (Zhongfumen) and a phoenix (Yifengmen) here. The geomantic omen is excellent, and the specific time for closing the door is unknown, about 1465 years before Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the lack of garrison troops in Nanjing, the northern city gates such as Yifengmen were blocked. In the 16th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1659), Liang Huafeng opened the gate of Yifeng and Shence, and Zheng Chenggong's army, which sent troops to attack the besieged city, won the victory. Since then, Yifeng Gate has been rebuilt. Yifeng Gate in Qing Dynasty was a single-hole city gate with two watchtowers. In June, 16th year of Qing Shunzhi (1659), Zheng Chenggong, a famous anti-Qing fighter from Nanming, "entered the river from Chongming ... in July, he went straight to Jinling". Lang Qianzuo, the governor of the two rivers of the Qing army, asked for help everywhere, and at the same time took the measure of delaying tactics to paralyze Zheng Chenggong and his men. As a result, Zheng's "camp is not complete, and the sergeant floats in Houhu Lake (now Xuanwu Lake) and plays". After Liang Huafeng, the general company commander of the Qing army who came all the way from Chongming to reinforce the Jiangning Yugoslav capital, found this situation on the wall of Shence Gate, he quietly dismantled the blockages of Shence Gate and Yifeng Gate, and "led his efforts to ride five hundred, and at night he was fascinated by the strategy gate, first smashing the white earth mountain and breaking it." Later, Liang Huafeng divided the defenders of the whole city into four roads: one of them went out of Yifengmen, cut off the contact between the land and water armies of Zheng Jun, and attacked Zheng Jun's ships. As a result, Zheng Jun was "devastated" and lost more than 5 seagoing ships, while Zheng Chenggong only took a few people back to Xiamen by boat. In the third year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1853), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom troops bombed and collapsed the wall near Yifeng Gate by tunnel and conquered Nanjing. In the 21st year of Guangxu reign in Yifengmen Qing Dynasty (1895), Zhang Zhidong, then governor of Liangjiang, laid the first modern road in Nanjing under Yifengmen. In the tenth year of the Republic of China (1921), the building of Yi Jiangmen significantly reduced the status of Yifengmen. In the 2th year of the Republic of China (1931), the national changed the name of Yifeng Gate to Xingzhong Gate. In 1971, due to the construction of Jianning Road, Xingzhong Gate was demolished. In 26, the people of Nanjing rebuilt Yifeng Gate as a three-hole arch. There are two water tunnels under Yifengmen City, and this gate is the only way to get in and out of the Yangtze River in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Yifengmen, also known as "Xingzhong Gate", is located in the northwest corner of Nanjing, built on the Lion Mountain, with Dinghuai Gate in the south and Zhongfumen in the east. Yifengmen was originally the main road leading to the banks of the Yangtze River in the north of Nanjing. It was an important gate for the imperial court to cross the river. At that time, officials went north and went to war, and all took this gate. In case of victory, the people nearby will hold a grand ceremony near Yifengmen to welcome the victorious soldiers. According to the historical records of Yifengmen in 191, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that the people should not be served when building this gate, so the gate was built entirely by the Nanjing defenders themselves. This gate was blocked for the next 2 years, and it was not reopened until the early Qing Dynasty. This is because Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty planned the northern part of the city as Juntun District in the early days of preparing for the capital, which was extremely secluded. Most Nanjing people lived in the commercial area in the south of the city. At that time, there was a saying: I would rather sleep in a bed in the south of the city than live in a room in the north of the city. Until Zhu Di moved to Beijing, Yifeng and Zhongfu were blocked together. According to historical records, Lin Fengxiang, the general of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, directed the excavation of the tunnel leading to Yifeng Gate, blasted the wall of Yifeng Gate with mines, and directly attacked the governor's yamen of Liangjiang. In the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, then governor of the two rivers, presided over the construction of Jiangning Road with the governor's yamen as the center, which went northward from Yifengmen to Shimonoseki. The surrounding scenic spot Yuejianglou Scenic Area has a total area of 31 hectares, of which water accounts for 1/3, land accounts for 2/3, and the green coverage rate reaches 85%. There are more than 3 historical sites in the scenic spot, such as Yuejiang Tower, Wanxian Pavilion, Ancient Fort, Sun Yat-sen's Reading River, Wujun Tunnel, Ancient City Wall, Dizang Temple, Wuse Soil and Jinghai Temple, etc. It is a well-known tourist attraction in China that integrates human landscape and natural landscape. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. Taking Ming culture as the theme, Yuejiang Building in the scenic spot is divided into three main parts: "unity, openness and development"; It shows the statues of 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the territory of the Ming Dynasty. There are also five "best in the country" in the scenic spot, such as porcelain painting "Complete Map of Zheng He's Journey to the West", "Four Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River" Shuang Mianxiu, white marble carving "Yue Jiang Lou Ji", Yue Jiang Lou Ding and Shi Ling Yue Jiang Relief. Yue Jiang Lou Yi Jiangmen Yi Jiangmen is a city gate on the Ming wall of Nanjing, and it is an important passage connecting the city of Nanjing with Xiaguan Wharf (Zhongshan Wharf). It is located on Zhongshan North Road, and the lion mountain is on the east side of the city gate. Yi Jiangmen Yi Jiangmen was dug in 1921, which is the traffic artery for Zhongshan Wharf and Xiaguan Railway Station to enter the city. It was originally named Hailingmen, which was a one-hole city gate. In 1931, it was expanded into a three-hole city gate and changed to its current name. On April 23, 1949, the People's Liberation Army of China won the battle of crossing the river and entered Nanjing from this gate. In 1984, the Victory Memorial Hall of Crossing the River was built on the gate. Tianfei Palace Nanjing Tianfei Palace, located in Gulou District, Nanjing, is the center of religious and cultural activities in the north of Nanjing. It was founded in the fifth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (147) and was called Tianfei Palace in Longjiang in history. It was Zheng He's first trip to the West and his return to China, which was induced by Tian Fei's gods because of the peace at sea, and he asked the imperial court to give him the building. Zheng He made a special trip to the Tianfei Palace in Longjiang to worship Mazu before and after his six voyages to the West. Every year, on the birthday of Mazu (the 23rd day of the third lunar month), the folk custom of catching up with temple fairs has continued to this day. Tianfei Palace Tianfei Palace witnessed the signing of treaty of nanking and was destroyed by the war from Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. In July 24, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to commemorate the 6th anniversary of Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas, the former Xiaguan District of Nanjing spent huge sums of money to rebuild and open up. The newly-built Tianfei Palace consists of east-west axis courtyards, covering an area of 5, square meters. Its main buildings include Tian Fei Hall, Guanyin Hall, Monument Pavilion, Mazu Cultural Exhibition, East-West Wing and Annex Hall, etc. Nanjing Tianfei Palace has deepened the cultural sense of historical identity between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and has become one of the most attractive places for Taiwan compatriots in Nanjing. Jinghai Temple Jinghai Temple is located outside Yifengmen, Gulou District, Nanjing. It is one of the top ten law temples in the Ming Dynasty. It is located at the southern foot of Lion Mountain and is a part of Yuejianglou Scenic Area. Jinghai Temple During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di ordered the construction of Jinghai Temple. In 1842, the British invaders and the Qing Dynasty held talks between the two countries in this Jinghai Temple on the bank of the Yangtze River. It was in this temple that treaty of nanking was negotiated and Hong Kong Island was ceded. Geographical location Yifengmen is the only gate built on two mountains among the 13 gates in Nanjing's inner city. The two wings of the city walls are built on the mountain conveniently, with Lion Mountain in the north and Hydrangea Mountain in the south (which is the residual vein of Lion Mountain). The gate is just stuck between the two valleys, which can be said to take advantage of the geographical location.
