The tour guide words of Suiyuan city general's office

The general office of Suiyuan City has a very long history, which is full of historical solemnity and heavy feelings for ordinary tourists, because it is an ancient military camp and also the residence of a military and political chief. Here, I will share with you a list of the tour guide words of the general office of Suiyuan City.

Good morning, group members! I'm XXX, the tour guide of XXX Travel Agency in Inner Mongolia. Please call me Xiao XX.

according to the schedule in the travel contract, the scenic spot we are going to visit this morning is the general's office. It is located in the new urban area of Hohhot, and it is the office residence of General Suiyuan City, a provincial official in the Qing Dynasty. In the second year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1737), it was built with Suiyuan City, but the general office was built that year. This is the only remaining senior military attache's office in China, which is a national key cultural relic protection unit and has now been turned into the General's Office Museum in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Then why build a military attache's office in Hohhot? Hohhot used to be called Guisui, which refers to Guihua City, and Suiyuan City, which is today's new city. Why do you want to introduce Suiyuan City here? Because the general office and Suiyuan city are inseparable, it is built in the north of the central axis of Suiyuan city, just like the heart of Suiyuan city, so we must start with Suiyuan city to introduce the general office.

Guihua City was built in the Ming Dynasty. It was personally supervised by Altan Khan, the Mongolian leader of the famous Tumote Department, and his wife Zhong Jinhatun (known as Sannianzi). After it was built, it was named "Kuku and Tun", which means blue in Mongolian, which is the origin of the name transliteration of Hohhot today. The Ming government named Guihua City with the meaning of "joining the imperial court and accepting enlightenment" (obviously with ethnic discrimination). Guihua City was a prosperous city at that time. In the Qing Dynasty, wars often occurred between the Qing court and Mongolian Jungar in the west of the desert. This turbulent situation in the northwest frontier prompted the Qing court to decide to strengthen its military defense in the north in order to consolidate its rule in the northwest. After repeated weighing, the Qing court decided to build a new military defense city five miles northeast of the original Guihua city, making the new and old cities into horns and easy to defend. In the 13th year of Yongzheng (1735), the preparatory work for building a new city (Suiyuan City) began. In February of the 2nd year of Qianlong (1737), the new city was built in June of the 4th year of Qianlong (1739), which lasted two years and four months. This speed of building a city is very rare in history. In the second year of Qianlong, Wang Chang (also known as "Wang Chang"), the general of Jianwei, was transferred from Shanxi Youwei (now Youyu) by the Qing court as the first general of Zhengyiping Suiyuan City. Suiyuan means appeasing distant places, that is, appeasing remote areas.

I want to emphasize here that the owner of the general's office is General Suiyuancheng, and you can't refer to General Suiyuancheng as General Suiyuan at will, because the Qing court appointed General Suiyuancheng, not General Suiyuan. In the Qing Dynasty, 78 generals served here successively in 174 years (according to Records of the Qing Dynasty), and in the Republic of China, there were two generals, thirteen generals, and five presidents of Suiyuan Special Administrative Region and Suiyuan Provincial Government, among whom Fu Zuoyi and Dong Qiwu were famous generals. It can be said that for more than 2 years, it has been the political center of Suiyuan area, and it can be described as "the first mansion in the desert south"-the inscription of Buhe, former vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), hangs on the gate.

The "I"-shaped zhaobi we see opposite the yamen is inscribed with the four characters "Ping Fan Shuo Mo" on the stone tablet in the middle of it, which means to defend the frontier. It was inscribed by Ke Menge, the 7th general of Suiyuan City in the 16th year of Guangxu, and it is one of the three precious stone carvings in Suiyuan City. My office originally had six hospitals, but now there are four hospitals. We walked down the aisle and came to the front of the instrument. Why is this gate in the middle called the instrument gate? Instrument takes the meaning of etiquette and ceremony, which is the door of etiquette. It was here that the then general Suiyuan City greeted the distinguished guests. At that time, only officials with the same rank as generals were allowed to take the instrument gate, while other officials had to take the side doors on both sides, which were divided into Wen Dong Wu Xi, civil servants took the east gate and military attache took the west gate. Inside the gate is the first courtyard, and there are two _ _ (b

x) on the east and west sides in the north of the courtyard, each carrying a big stone tablet, which was built in recent years; There are houses in the south, which are now calligraphy and painting, souvenir shops and antique shops. Come in and walk with me through the instrument door and have a detailed tour together!

[Second on-the-spot explanation in the hospital]

Dear friends, please look at these four famous trees in Qingcheng-Purple lilac tree, which were planted in the 18th year of Qing Daoguang (1838). Every spring and summer, the flowers are full of branches, fragrant and refreshing. In the past two years, before and after May Day, the "General's Office Lilac Festival" has been held here. By then, tourists will be like clouds, which will be called the grand occasion of Jiahui. Friends may not know that lilac is the city flower of Hohhot.

the first exhibition hall is folded

What you are visiting now is the first exhibition hall in the east-it used to be called folded room, which is the place where junior officials of our government discuss and rest before going to class. Now, here is the history of the old and new cities of Hohhot, mainly the new city-Suiyuan Urban Construction City. It has been introduced on the way to history. Please listen to the commentator's explanation in combination with the real thing.

[The contents of the following exhibition halls are mainly told by the instructors of the General's Office]

Ok, let's look at the model first! The restoration model of Guihua City and Suiyuan City you see is what the old and new cities of Hohhot looked like in the Qing Dynasty. Suiyuan City, with a total area of 2.85 million square meters and an area of 4,275 mu, is a square city. There are 44 gun emplacements on the city wall, with a height of 2 feet 9 feet 5 inches and a top width of 2 feet 5 feet. There is also a moat around the city outside. There are four gates in Suiyuan City: East Gate-Yingxu Gate, South Gate-Chengxun Gate, West Gate-Fuan Gate and North Gate-Zhenning Gate, all of which were named by Emperor Qianlong himself. In the southeast of the general's office is the bell and drum tower in Suiyuan City (which was demolished in the 195s for "blocking traffic"). There is a "small school field" in the southwest corner of the city. There is a 36,-square-meter "big school field" and a martial arts hall outside the west gate, which was originally a big playground for the garrison troops to review and practice more than 3,9 Eight Banners soldiers in peacetime. In wartime, the general will go out to the starting point of the army.

Let's look at this map of the Qing Dynasty. This pink area is the jurisdiction of General Suiyuan City. It looks like a barrier, guarding the north gate of the Central Plains. From this, we can see that the geographical location of Suiyuan City is very important. This is the map of Suiyuan City. A lot of manpower and material resources were used to build the city, which cost more than 1.3 million taels of silver, 1, migrant workers and more than 3, pieces of wood alone. Liu Tongxun, the father of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", was beheaded by order of Tong Zhi, an official in charge of building the city, for cutting corners, lying about the truth and embezzling public funds. It seems that the problem of anti-corruption has always been solved urgently. This map shows the garrison distribution of Suiyuan City. These two stone plaques of the city gate are the second of the three precious stone carvings mentioned above. They are named by Emperor Qianlong himself and inscribed by himself in three languages, namely, the stone plaques of Zhenning Gate and Chengxun Gate in Suiyuan. Named and inscribed by the Emperor himself, it is the only one in China. These cannons are imitations of the red cannons used by the garrison in Suiyuan City. They are advanced weapons imported from abroad at that time. The imported guns are big in the head and small in the tail, with large recoil. Domestic guns are as thick as the head and tail. Because it was a military town, there were 24 heavy cannons at that time.

the second exhibition hall

let's visit the second exhibition hall in the west. This used to be the place where civil servants of yamen handled cases, sorted out information and handled daily official duties. Now it is a place to display the general situation and changing history of yamen.

this is a sand table for the restoration of our government. The yamen is built in strict accordance with the format of "one-product government official". It takes the main building as the central axis, with wing rooms, wing rooms and east-west courtyards on both sides, which means taking gossip and being safe. The original overall layout is divided into two groups, front and back, and five into the courtyard. The former group is the public service hall courtyard, and the latter group is the general's inner residence. Now only the middle fourth courtyard is preserved, and the fifth courtyard and the later sixth courtyard were destroyed in the Republic of China, after liberation and during the Cultural Revolution. Next, look at the exhibits in the showcase. This one is the management hierarchy map of Suiyuan City. From generals to soldiers, the hierarchy is strict, and the treatment is very different. For example, the general receives more than 2, taels of silver a year, and the assistant receives more than 4 taels, and only 18 taels when he arrives in Bujia. These embroidery patterns are the complements of the Qing Dynasty, one on the chest and one on the back of the official uniform. It is used to distinguish official grades. Civil and military officials are divided into nine categories, civil servants are birds, and military officers are beasts. The general's one-piece coat and hat box is used by the general to carry official clothes and hats when traveling. This design is very convenient and reasonable.

official residence in the third exhibition hall

The official residence in the northwest corner of the courtyard is the place where the general's subordinate officials assist the general in handling military and political affairs, and the specifications of the official residence are only under the lobby and the second hall. The general's aides are here to review the official documents sent from the incident, send them to the folding room for writing after consulting them, and finally seal them in the lobby, and then send them to the capital by fast horses and report them to the emperor, so the official residence is also very important. These officials are slightly lower in grade than generals, generally around three or four grades. Although the furnishings in the room are not as good as the general's lobby and hall, they are also more exquisite than other management offices. First of all, please look at the northern kang. Because it is cold in winter in the north, there are generally heated kang in the northern official offices in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the heating method is very similar to the current floor heating. In winter, officials sit on the kang, with a kang table, a cushion at the table, a pedal near the kang wall, officials trample on the kang, and a spittoon is displayed next to the pedal. If the room is large, there is also a brazier, which is the case with the military department in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Officials sit on the kang reading documents and writing official documents. There are pens, inkstones and other Four Treasures of the Study on the kang table. There are portraits of twelve emperors in the Qing Dynasty hanging on the front wall. Let's make a simple understanding in turn. The first one was the Qing Taizu Nurhachi. In 1616, Nurhachi was called Khan, with the title of "Daikin" (known as Houjin in history) and the title of "Destiny". It was founded in Hetuala (now Xinbin, Liaoning Province) and later moved to Shengjing (now Shenyang). In 1636, his son Huang Taiji (Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty) proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing and changed his country name to "Qing Dynasty". From 1644, when the Qing army entered the customs, to 1912, when the Republic of China was founded and the Qing emperor abdicated, the Qing dynasty ruled the whole country for 268 years. At this stage, there were ten emperors, namely Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xuantong. Xuantong, the last emperor Puyi, ascended the throne at the age of 3, and was in office for only three years and two months. The Revolution of 1911 broke out in 1911 and he was forced to abdicate in February 1912. Xuantong's abdication marked the complete demise of the Qing Dynasty and the abolition of the imperial system in China forever. As for the farce of the restoration of Puyi directed by Zhang Xun in 1917, it ended in national reviling in just 11 days.

the lobby of the fourth exhibition hall

the lobby in the north of the courtyard, with a 13-meter-square terrace in front of it, is where officials hold ceremonial activities. The lobby, also known as the main hall, is the main building of the yamen. It is usually idle and only opened when the general receives the imperial edict or has major activities. The lobby is a five-bay, tiled-roofed building with a length of 2 meters, a depth of 1 meters and a height of 9 meters. There is a screen in the hall. The design of the screen is the sea unicorn symbolizing the martial arts of the dynasty. Sitting on the plush chair in front of the screen, this lifelike and majestic military attache is the wax figure of Wang Chang, the first general of Suiyuan City. The weak scholar in a gown on his right is our well-known tout or confidential secretary; On his left is a bodyguard with a knife, and both of them are treated with six products or six products. The man standing below, bending his knees and wearing the second-class civilian official uniform, was the governor of Shanxi at that time. These four wax figures tell the story of "a general has great power, which makes a governor angry".

This short story shows that the general in Suiyuan City holds a higher position and is not comparable to that of a general government official. Therefore, when Wang Chang took office, Emperor Qianlong personally gave him a plaque. Please look up at the top and write "Zefu is far and near". "Ze" is grace, "Fu" is covering, "Distant" is far, and "You" is near. It means that the emperor's kindness is mighty, and it is far and near. So how big is General Suiyuancheng? In the current words, it is equivalent to the commander of the major military region with the rank of general. You see, there are eight tokens on the case-solving table. Red is for sending troops and black is for judging cases. He is trying major military cases. There is also a sign tube on the table, which is used for divination when the general marches to fight or makes major decisions. There are two umbrellas held by all the people here, which are signed with the names of the people of Lebanon. In historical records, this is the signature of the people to show their support for General Wang Chang's integrity and love for the people.

This pair of cloisonne objects placed on the flower stand is called Tianlu, and its common name is Chaotian Roar. Look, its eyes look up very vividly! Its practical value is actually for aromatherapy. Don't underestimate this artifact, such things are given by the emperor, but not everyone can buy them here at will. It means "sublime everywhere".

On both sides of the lobby, there are avoidance and silence cards, title cards, ceremonial cars and so on. Title cards, also known as cloud cards, vary in number. When a general travels, they are placed in front of the sedan chair for fame, and they are usually placed on both sides in the lobby. As a first-class title, the ceremonial ceremonies of the general of Suiyuan City are: two apricot umbrellas, a pair of golden sticks, two fans, a pair of weapons, a pair of fake ling knives, two pairs of guns, a pair of animal arrows, and a pair of avoidance and silence cards. When traveling, the gong will be turned on in front of the team, and the general will sit in the big green sedan chair behind him. This dark green is also only suitable for a title. The Lele car over there is a cultural relic, which was taken by the general's family when they traveled far away. It was decorated with carved iron before and after, so delicate that it was extraordinary.

On the lobby wall is the Hadith written by Emperor Jiaqing to educate the children of the Eight Banners, also known as the Proverbs of the Eight Banners. Its main idea is that the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty have gone through difficulties and obstacles and laid a solid foundation. We hope that future generations will carry forward the fine traditions and defend this hard-won social territory. Many of these contents are also very instructive today, such as respecting the elders, thrift and so on. After reading the display of the lobby, you can also enjoy the painted patterns on the beams and the architectural style of the lobby. This lobby is decorated with purple flowers on the beam, double dragons on the door, and Soviet-style painting on the instrument door. You can enjoy it again later. The whole lobby roof is completely wooden mortise and tenon structure, which is still so strong after 27 years. It can be seen that the bean curd residue project was out of fashion at that time, and it also shows that the head of Wang Chang probably didn't take kickbacks.

Printing room in the fifth exhibition hall

The printing room in the northeast corner of the courtyard is a secret place for storing general print seals and important files. On the back wall of the printing room, there is a sentiment text about Zhuge Liang's "indifferent ambition" posted by Qianlong Imperial Title, and there are two tall printing box covers and two small printing boxes under it. Under the southeast window, there is a silver seal of the general tiger button. There is a beautiful confession on the Xikang. There is a bronze statue of Guan Gong, a warrior, on the East Wall, because Manchu is a martial nation, and it is believed that Guan Yunchang helped him to enter the Central Plains, and he is even more admired for Guan Gong. Guan Gong has been respected since ancient times for his loyalty, filial piety and high moral character. He has long gone beyond the realm of the world and has been regarded as a god by successive dynasties. After the Ming Dynasty, he was honored as Guan Di.

arrow pavilion in the sixth exhibition hall

the arrow pavilion in the northwest of the courtyard was originally the place where the military attache under the general was responsible for the garrison officers and soldiers' military supplies and military drills. It is now used as a special exhibition place for generals stationed in Guisui. This is the bronze medal in the chronology of generals, and the process of conferring the title of general Suiyuancheng by the Qing court is more complicated and frequent. It took 174 years from Wang Chang, the first general of Suiyuancheng in the second year of Qianlong to the last general of Xuantong in the third year. During this period, the Qing court appointed 78 Suiyuancheng generals.

Before Wang Chang, the first general of Suiyuan City, the general of Guihua City was Fei Yanggu, the general of Fuyuan. There is a bust of him here. He pacified
