On May 20, 1862, the Qing army launched an attack on Wuhu and surrounded Wuhu from all sides. A Taiping army retreating eastward stood firm in Qingshui Town and was intercepted by Huang Yisheng's water division of the Qing army. More than a thousand soldiers died here.

The four naval battalions of the Qing army joined forces to counterattack. Fighting broke out in the streets of Qingshui, and thick smoke billowed. The Taiping army was outnumbered and retreated to Huangchi. The Taiping Army fought against the Qing army at Wanchun Lake for three months, and the counterattack in Wuhu came to nothing, thus ending the Taiping Army's 10-year history in Wuhu.

The Source of Culture

"As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened, the skylight and cloud shadows are lingering. I asked where the canal can be so clear? It has a source of living water." My Therefore, I quote these popular sentences written by Zhu Xi, a great scholar of the Song Dynasty, in "Guanshu Youfei" to illustrate that "humanistic Qingshui" has a rich historical and cultural heritage. These are the "cultures" where mass culture in Qingshui Street is flourishing today. source".

Qingshui is located in the east of Wuhu City, located in Wanchunwei, which is a beautiful and magical place. The name Qingshui comes from the intersection of the Qingyi and Shuiyang rivers here, forming two distinct water colors: clear and muddy. As a result, "clear water with different colors" has become a unique natural landscape in Wuhu. Qingshui has a long history, a rich collection of people, abundant products and a prosperous culture. The historically famous Wanchunwei has a history of more than a thousand years. It was first built in the third year of Qingtai in the Later Tang Dynasty (936). In the sixth year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1061), Ningguo County Magistrate Shen Pi recruited migrant workers from eight counties to rebuild it. After the polder was restored, Zhao Zhen, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, named it "Wanchun Polder". The famous scientist and writer Shen Kuo participated in planning the development of Wanchunwei and wrote the article "Illustrated Notes of Wanchunwei". The predecessor of Qingshui Street, Qingshui Town, is a century-old ancient town. Among them, Qingshui Primary School has a history of 100 years; Qingshuihe Middle School has a history of 60 years. The name of its predecessor, "Wuhu County Middle School", was inscribed by the cultural celebrity Guo Moruo.

In order to retain the historical images and glory of the thousand-year-old fair and century-old town, Qingshui’s "Zhao Shuli" and writer Lu Chengquan published a collection of photography works "Style of the Ancient Town" and a collection of essays " "Qingshui Customs" shows the beauty of the ancient town's customs, rich humanities and honest folk customs.

It is also the local culture of "yam eggs". Several collections of personal essays such as "A Beauty Is Like the Moon" by Ms. Wang Yujie have also been published, showing that a new generation of Qingshui culture women are growing vigorously; Mr. Xu Daben's ancient poem "Poems of Dusou" has been published. , showing the profound ancient literary skills of the older generation of literati; the reportage and documentary literature of local writer Xiang Qiang have been frequently seen in many large domestic journals such as "Zhiyin", and each work exudes the fragrance of ink...

< p>It is these historical deposits and cultural inheritance that have created today’s cultural Qingshui and Qingshui culture, and created the historical feelings and realistic ideals of “Qingshui people”. I think that when Shen Kuo further planned and developed Wanchunwei, his original intention was probably to transform nature and benefit the country and enrich the people. He may not have thought that the material legacy he created and left behind is now affecting Wanchunwei in many aspects such as cultural spirit and historical inheritance. The people of Chunwei play a huge role in the children of Qingshui. And the role of this "source of cultural context and history" will be inexhaustible in the new era, and will achieve new brilliance in the humanities!
