Transportation in Huaiji County

The Guiyang-Guangzhou High-speed Railway (also known as the Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway, Guiyang-Guangzhou Express Railway, and Guizhou-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line) is a key project of the railway's "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". It starts from Guiyang North Station and passes through Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. , Duyun City and Sandu County in Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture; Rongjiang County, Congjiang County and Liping County in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture; Sanjiang County in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Autonomous Region, Longsheng County and Lingui County in Guilin City County, Lingchuan County, Yangshuo County, Gongcheng County, Zhongshan County and Babu District of Hezhou City; Huaiji, Guangning and Sihui of Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, Sanshui of Foshan, Guangzhou City, ending in Guangzhou South Station, connecting the southwest inland and the South China Economic Belt, is a high-standard high-speed passenger line.

After the project is completed, the time it takes passengers to travel from Guiyang to Guangzhou by train will be reduced from the current 22 hours to less than 4 hours. Currently, trains from Guiyang to Guangzhou need to travel eastward via the Hunan-Guizhou Railway to Zhuzhou, Hunan, and then transfer to the Beijing-Guangzhou Line south to Guangzhou. This is not only time-consuming, but also puts a greater burden on the already overburdened Beijing-Guangzhou line. The Guizhou-Guangzhou high-speed railway takes a straight line through Guilin, Hezhou and other places in Guangxi, and goes directly to Guangzhou South Railway Station, the railway hub of Guangzhou, which greatly shortens the time and will also greatly ease the load on related lines. After the completion of projects such as the Guiyang-Guangzhou high-speed railway, the Lanzhou-Chongqing railway that has started construction, and the Liuzhou-Zhaoqing railway to be built, the fast passenger and logistics channels connecting the Pearl River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in the northwest and southwest regions of my country will be opened. The expressway starts in Gangping Town, Huaiji County, connects with the Shantou-Kunming Expressway, passes through Chang'an, Jinzhuang, Nanfeng, Liandu, Heerkou, Yulao and other towns in Fengkai County, and connects to Guangfo in Deqing County. After Zhaozhou Expressway and Cross-Country Highway 321, it crosses the Xijiang River and enters Nanjiangkou Town, Yunan County, Yunfu City. The end point is connected to the Shuangfeng Interchange set up at the intersection of Guangwu Expressway and Yunluo Expressway.

Huaiyang Expressway is the northward extension of the "Eight Vertical Lines" planned by the Guangdong Provincial Expressway Network. It connects Shantou-Kunming Expressway and Erguang Expressway to the north, connects Hunan and the Central Plains region, and connects Luoyang Expressway to the south. Arrive directly at Yangjiang Port. Its planning and construction is one of the important measures taken by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to accelerate the development of mountainous areas in northwest Guangdong. It is also the "three vertical" lines of the main skeleton highways planned for Zhaoqing City's highway network and the "second vertical line" of the main skeleton highways planned for Yunfu City's highway network. "The actual needs of the line. It connects various horizontal expressways, effectively supplements and improves the expressway network in northwest Guangdong, and forms a north-south longitudinal passage running through the western region of our province. The Lianzhou-Huaiji Highway is the northernmost section of the Guangdong-Guangdong National Expressway. The route starts from Lianzhou in Qingyuan City (the border between Hunan and Guangdong), connects to the Yongzhou-Lanshan Expressway (the border between Hunan and Guangdong) under construction in Hunan Province, and ends In Huaiji Huaicheng, it connects to the Huaiji to Sanshui Expressway under construction, with a total length of about 172 kilometers. The entire line is constructed according to highway standards. The section from the starting point to Huaiji Hetang is about 160 kilometers long and has two-way four lanes. The final section of about 12 kilometers uses two-way six lanes. It is reported that the project is located in the mountainous area of ??northwest Guangdong, passing through ethnic minority areas such as Lianshan and Liannan. It has undulating mountains, high filling and deep excavation, and numerous bridges and tunnels. There are more than 50 kilometers of bridges and nearly 20 kilometers of tunnels along the entire line. The project is extremely difficult. big. The design speed of the main line and Huaiji branch line is 100 kilometers per hour, and the design speed of the Lianzhou connection line is 80 kilometers per hour.

This project is another major transportation artery connecting the inland areas of my country’s Central Plains and the economically developed coastal areas of South China. It is the second expressway connecting Guangdong Province and Hunan Province. In addition, the construction of the expressway is also a transportation link that drives the economic development of mountainous areas in northern Guangdong. Its construction will help improve the layout of the national and Guangdong provincial highway network, meet the growing demand for traffic development, improve the disaster resistance of the highway network, strengthen transportation connections in central, southern and southwest China, promote the economic development of mountainous areas in Guangdong Province, and strengthen the national Unity and building a harmonious society are of great significance.

Cultural Relics

The cultural relics and cultural relics and historic sites in Huaiji County can be traced back to the middle and late Neolithic Age.

In 1978, the Guangdong Provincial Karst Cave Expedition Team discovered fossils of elephants, rhinoceroses, deer, giant pandas and other ancient vertebrates in multiple caves in the Qiaotou area; fragments of rough pottery stone tools and utensils used by ancient humans were discovered in the Huashi cave in Liangcun. Relics of fire; ruins from the middle and late Neolithic Age, as well as several tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Eastern Han Dynasty, were discovered in Lanma, Meitian, Yongfu and other places along the Suijiang River and its tributaries.

The main scenic spots include Tashan Scenic Area, Yanyan Scenic Area, Huashi Cave Sky, Liuzu Rock, etc. The following is a selection of places from the perspective of new discoveries or changes.

The Sixth Ancestor Temple is located at No. 95, Henan Road, Huaicheng Town. In the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1641), it was initiated by Li Pan, the magistrate. At that time, Li Pan, the magistrate of Jurong, Jiangsu, came to Huairen County, and learned that the Sixth Patriarch Huineng returned to Nanling from Dongshan Temple in Huangmei, Hubei, and lived in seclusion in Huaiji for more than ten years. According to people's reports, there was a resting place for the Sixth Patriarch near Henan, the county seat. It turns out that in the past, "the Master Xueyun flew here and asked Pu Sai to cleanse and live under it (the stone well) to worship the Southern Sect and obtain the Dharma", so he took the lead in donating funds to build a temple here for the villagers to practice Zen and worship, and received a response from the public. , "White cloth and white iron help it become a success". The Sixth Ancestor Nunnery is also called "Shijing Nunnery" because it is close to Shijing.

Ishijing is located on the left side in front of the No. 1 Construction Company of Jinxian County, Henan County. This well is surrounded by large rocks. The spring water is clear and sweet, and it never dries up at all times. This well is one of the eight old scenic spots in Huaiyang, named "Shijing Hanquan". Because the well is close to Liuzu's nunnery, it is also called "Liuzu's well".

The Spear Chong Trench is located in the mountain col behind Hengdong Village in Huaicheng Town. Maochong was a section of the highway from Huaicheng to Aozai before liberation. The spear trenches were dug by the people in the county in 1944 to prevent the Japanese invaders from attacking Huaiji. They consist of seven circular open ditches of varying lengths and about one meter deep. At that time, there were local armed personnel guarding it.

The pottery was discovered in 1995 by a farmer in Fuyangkou Village, Huaicheng Town, while digging the foundation of their house. There are 2 Han Dynasty pottery pots, 1 pottery chicken, pottery cow, pottery duck, and 3 pottery cups. In the same year, 1 Jin Dynasty pottery house, 1 pottery barn, and many pottery bowls and pottery animals were found in Elephant Village. Two pottery pots and two pottery spinning wheels from the Tang Dynasty.

Huashi Cave is located in Huashi Village and Shi'ai Village, Liangcun, 20 kilometers west of the county. 13 limestone peaks rise from the ground, towering in the green fields of Pingchou with a radius of more than ten miles. The peaks have different shapes, some look like horses, sheep, bats, and shrimps, forming a natural flower and stone scenic spot. This is the so-called "Huashi Cave Sky" among the eight new scenic spots in Huaiyang in ancient times. In the late 1970s, due to nearby people taking rocks to burn lime from the stone peaks, after years of extensive mining of the stone mountain, Lianhua Peak, Tianma Rock, Cupola Rock, Fanzeng Rock and the early 1980s were successively bombed. Chenwu Stone, Youxian Stone, Sanzhai Stone, Wangyue Rock, Danshan Rock, Taoist Rock, Yunnu Peak, Fengjian Stone, and Sanbai Stone were also damaged to varying degrees. In 1984, the county government issued a notice and took measures to protect it. There are caves in all the peaks of Huashi, with winding paths leading to secluded places. The strange rocks and rocks are made of magical craftsmanship, and each has its own beautiful legend. Ancient tourists left many cliff stone carvings. Among them, the vertical strokes of "mountain" and "water" in the stone carving "Danshan Chishui" have the sentences "the moon in front of Xijiyan" and "the peaks are connected to the clouds in the sky" respectively.

2. Management of cultural relics and museums

From 1979 to 1982, the management of cultural relics and museums in the county was incidentally responsible for the county cultural department.

In the second half of 1983, the Huaiji County Cultural Relics Census Team was established to carry out a county-wide cultural relics census, including the old revolutionary area of ??Shidong and the existing library site, Wenchang Pavilion, Yanyan, Liuzuyan, Huashi Peaks (Caves), and ancient city ruins. A preliminary survey will be conducted, some data will be sorted out, and historical cultural relics will be recovered. A cultural relics exhibition was held during the Spring Festival of 1984. In March of the same year, the county government issued the "Notice on the Protection of Huashi Peaks and Cultural Relics and Historic Sites" and listed Wenchang Pavilion, Danshan Rock, Wangyue Rock and Taoist Rock as key cultural relics protection units in the county. Each of them erected a monument with " "Huaiji County's key protected cultural relics" and other words.

In 1984, we continued to conduct a general survey, collection and arrangement of ancient, modern, revolutionary, national, folk, production and life cultural relics, and organized many publicity and learning activities on cultural relics regulations. At the end of 1990, a leading group for the construction of a museum and the renovation of Wenchang Pavilion in Huaiji County was established to lead the related work. In 1993, the county people's government allocated 400,000 yuan to rebuild Wenchang Academy according to its original appearance. In the same year, more than 300 cultural cadres and employees across the county were organized to participate in the cultural relics protection law prize-winning Q&A organized by China Cultural Relics News. They also purchased 1,000 copies of the "Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" for free reading in the county. At the end of the year, the Huaiji County Cultural Relics Management Committee was established. From 1991 to 1995, publicity tools and positions such as conferences, radio stations, TV stations, publicity vehicles, and posters were used to promote the Cultural Relics Protection Law. County leaders spoke on the protection of cultural relics 10 times at relevant meetings and on television, and dispatched 70 publicity vehicles. times, 40 slogans and banners were posted, 20,000 copies of the "Cultural Relics Protection Initiative" and 800 copies of the "Cultural Relics Protection Law" were printed and distributed, and cadres and the masses were educated to consciously protect and donate cultural relics, so that those who excavate, destroy and sell cultural relics without permission The phenomenon is greatly reduced. In 1995, some scenic spots including Wenchang Pavilion, Yanyan Rock, Huashi Peaks, Sixth Patriarch Rock and other scenic spots were restored, managed and constructed in Tashan Park. In the same year, the Huaiji County Museum Building was built. In May and July 1997, the Cultural Relics Protection Law was widely publicized twice, and the "International Museum Day" publicity campaign was carried out. Experts from Guangdong Province were invited to appraise the cultural relics in the collection, and 16 second-level cultural relics and 79 third-level cultural relics were appraised. Since 1998, the county museum has opened its cultural relics exhibition hall to the public every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In 2000, we will do a good job in applying for Wenchang Academy and other provincial cultural relics protection units.
