The origin of Shandong Bojia Island

Bojia Island, Renhe Town, Rongcheng City, Shandong Province:

Jinghai Town is located in the southeast corner of Huilai County, 26 kilometers away from Huilai County. The territory is mostly mountainous. The area is backed by hills and faces the South China Sea. The ancient city of Xianggutuo is known as Xiangcheng. The Jingjiang River connects the lake and the sea, so it is known as Jinghai. It can be said that it was Xiangcheng in ancient times and Jinghai today. In addition, there are also other names such as Egg Island, Jingjiang City and Yangcheng.

Jinghai was already inhabited by fishermen during the Tang and Song Dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty (1333-1368 AD), the people from the Shiba Village in Biaolou behind Danidu migrated here due to pirate intrusions. Some villagers from Xiaoni Shiba Township and Shibei Township moved to Senior. In the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1394 AD), the Jinghai Qianhu Guardhouse was built. It belongs to the Chaozhou Guard, with one thousand commanders and one thousand one hundred and twenty-one banner troops. The first President Qian Xi Fuju. In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, the imperial court ordered the city to be built. In the 32nd year of Jiajing (1553 AD), it was placed under Huilai County. At that time, Jinghai was under the jurisdiction of part of the original Danidu and Youtoudu. Before the liberation of Jinghai in 1948, the entire eastern district outside Kuiyang Pass was under the jurisdiction of Jinghai Town. After liberation, there were many changes in regional construction. In 1986, the district was removed and a town was built, with jurisdiction over two neighborhood committees, one fishermen's committee and 22 villagers' committees. It covers an area of ??48.45 square kilometers and has a population of 72,978.

Jinghai (Suo) was built in the 28th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1549 AD) and took 13 years to complete. It was rebuilt in the 38th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1699 AD) and again in the 5th year of Yongzheng Emperor (1927 AD). The shape of Jinghai Town is like an inverted tripod, with a protruding center and lower surroundings. The city is one foot and four feet high, and its walls are five hundred and one feet long. The four city gates in the east, west, south and north are connected by cross-shaped streets. The city gates all have urns and towers. The inner and outer sides of the city wall are made of stone barriers with rammed earth in the middle. The city wall is covered with crenellations, and there are viewing holes on the crenellations. There is a horse racing track to the west of the city. There are stone plaques hanging on the gates of the four cities: in the east it says "Biao Hai Sheng Gui", in the west it says "Jing Hai An Lan", in the south it says "Hua Qiaocheng Yu", in the north it says "Lai Yao Yonggu". The south city gate and city wall were demolished in 1952 when the Shishi Lake Water Gate was built. The northeast city wall and city tower still exist today.

The Xiangshan Mountains carry Bincheng, and the lakes and seas connect to the center of the river to connect with the capital;

The soldiers are fighting at the edge to the bone, but the pity is connected to the sea, and the southern border is famous for its national territory.

Jinghai Suo has always been the coastal defense outpost, garrison fortress and gateway of Huilai County in eastern Guangdong. To this day, there are still military fortifications or relics left over from past dynasties. For example, the north and south forts built in the Ming Dynasty are located on both sides of Jinghai Bay. The North Fort is called Jinghai Fort, and the South Fort is called Senior Fort. Each has eight cannons and 18 barracks. There is one member of the Beipiao Special Defense Force and 47 Taiwan soldiers. There is one member of the Special Defense Foreign Affairs Committee and 18 Taiwan soldiers stationed in the South Fort. In the south of Yihou Village, which has been built for 831 years outside Beimen City, there was once built the "Wuling Station", and the "Yiqian Palace" in front of the station still exists. Outside the east gate city there is the former site of the "Military Academy Field". There is also part of the "ancient lime official road" from Jinghai City to Chaoyang via the post station. About five miles northeast of Jinghai City, there are also ancient Yandun "Fenghuo Tower" built in the Qing Dynasty.

Since Jinghai is shaped like a peninsula, it forms the turning point from Shantou to Shanwei East and West Sea City, and is the only way for all types of ships to sail. On the seaside of Banmei Village, about 6 kilometers away from Jinghai Town, there is an international navigation lighthouse built by the British company IWC during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, called the "Shibei Mountain Lighthouse". The original tower was 120 feet tall. The tower was taken over by the Kuomintang government in 1932, demolished in 1942, and rebuilt in 1948. The tower height was changed to 110 feet. It was renovated by the People's Government in 1954 after liberation. The tower is 33 meters high and is the tallest lighthouse in the South China Sea. The tower was modified with a British rotating spotlight head in May 1986, with a range of 18 nautical miles. There is a poem that goes: At the foot of the Stone Tablet Mountain, there are rolling peaks. The majestic towers pierce the blue sky, shining silver light for thousands of miles, pointing to the lost sails and reflecting the rainbow.

Known as an ancient city, Jinghai can be called an ancient coastal town in eastern Guangdong.

Jinghai Town is nestled between mountains and the sea. The mountains and sea reflect the scenery and the scenery is pleasant.

Within the jurisdiction, there are the "Gang Jing Ling Yun" with peaks reaching into the clouds and the dusk in the morning and evening; the "Junzi Spring" with clear and sweet spring water that can be taken inexhaustibly; and the "Nantan Fishing for the Moon" with bright moonlit nights and sinking waves; There are towering, green and pleasant "peaks and tall peaks"; there are sparse ancient trees and fragrant wild flowers; there are "stacked rocks" that look like meteorites and huge boulders; there are rugged rocks with divine power. The formidable "Jiangjun Mountain Stand"; there are smoke cages all over the fields, and the "Northern Fields Plowing Smoke" with hoes and calves. In addition, there are many scenic spots under development waiting to be developed. For example, the "Pearl of the Cape", "Golden Beach in the Green Field", "Moon Reflected in the Lion Lake", "Strange Stones on the Back Table", etc. will all be unforgettable destinations.

The terrain of Jinghai is southeast-oriented, with a coastline of 22 kilometers long. The Bay Stone and the Stone Tablet Mountain form the Jinghai Qijiao, and the recess in the middle forms a natural bay with a wide bay and deep water, and a bathing beach with golden sand and silver waves. Outside the Jinghai Bay and the stone tablets, there are rocks crisscrossing the area, which can be called the "Dongtu Ping Fan" and "Key to the Door" of Huilai County.

The unique Jinghai Bay has given birth to an excellent Jinghai Port and a senior typhoon shelter, forming a brother fishing port. It is one of the two major marine fishery fishing bases in Huilai County. The long-line fishing operation outside the South Gate, as well as the experienced wind dragging and lotus sweeping operations, are all famous. Eels, groupers, sharks, squid, cuttlefish, and shrimp are famous fishery products in both places. Due to the long coastline and numerous reefs along the coast, it is a growing place for lobsters, abalone, seaweed, and sea urchins, so Jinghai has become a source of rare seafood. In the 1960s and early 1970s, "Shantou Daily" and "Yangcheng Evening News" both had special feature reports on "Jinghai dialect abalone", "Jinghai dialect lobster" and "Jinghai dialect beans".

In addition to fishery, Jinghai Port is also very developed in shipping and trade is flourishing. In the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, a customs registration office was established in Jinghai. Later, it was renamed as a regular customs office and the old site still exists. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, large wooden merchant ships often sailed between Suzhou and Hangzhou. Merchant ships from the other side also arrived at Jinghai, carrying brown sugar and potato starch to the north, and silk, cloth and daily industrial products to the south. During the Anti-Japanese War, Jinghai merchant ships diverted to Hong Kong and other places. Garlic, brown sugar and other agricultural and sideline products, aquatic products, and salt have always been Jinghai's main export products.

After the liberation of Jinghai, under the leadership of the People's Government, from 1956 to 1957, the Provincial Department of Fisheries invested 407,000 yuan and the local government raised 30,000 yuan to build a fish farm in Senior Bay (Shibeiwo). A typhoon shelter of 40,000 square meters that can accommodate 200-300 fishing boats. Since then, the lives and property of Jinghai fishermen have been protected.

In the autumn of 1970, Huilai County established the "Jinghai Port Management Project Headquarters" to mobilize the people of Jinghai Town and Tianxin, Xian'an, Zhoutian, Qianzhan and other townships and towns (called communes at the time) The labor force worked hard for three years to manage Jinghai Port. The Communist Party of China invested 800,000 voluntary man-days and 740,000 yuan in funds, dug a new channel of 1,260 meters, and excavated a new port gate 60 meters wide and 5 meters deep in Wo Tsai Tsui. Construction was continued in 1981, the depth of the port was dredged, the old and new channels from the port to the Shishi Lake sluice were connected and deepened, and stone berms were built. From then on, a new sailway with a length of 2960 meters and a width of 120-188 meters running east-west and a new port area of ??50 square meters was born in the southeast of the ancient city. After the renovation, the Jinghai Port Gate basically maintains a low-tide water depth of 3.5 meters and a high-tide water depth of 5 meters. It is also equipped with docks, warehouses, and water supply and power supply facilities. The entire port can accommodate more than 800 ships of various types and is one of the best ports on the east coast of Guangdong for shelter from typhoons.

The construction of ports has led to the development of large-tonnage mechanized fishing vessels. As of 2007, the town has 272 mechanized fishing boats of various sizes, with a total tonnage of 5,977 tons. The mechanization, telecommunication and navigation of fishing boats have ensured the safety of fishermen and fishing boats and promoted new development of fishery production. After liberation, Jinghai fishermen, especially the fishermen in Nanmenwai Village, wrote heroic songs on the fishery production front. Expedition to "Zai Zai Reef", conquered "Evil Shark Bay", and avoided new fishing grounds in the deep sea. His work was once published in the national publication "Grudge" in the style of reportage, and became famous throughout Guangdong and throughout the country.

Exactly: when the wind blows and the waves clear up, the brave man inspires to attack the Shark Palace; no matter how dangerous the journey is, he goes to "Evil Shark Bay" to show off his hero.

Shishi Lake was originally a large saltwater lake in the eastern district of Huilai County, covering an area of ??approximately square kilometers. Xuedishui, Jingkou and Dashanshui Port outside Jiguan. There are rivers on both sides of Shishi Lake, dotted with ponds, and to the north is the Jinglong Yang plain outside the pass. Before the Shishi Lake sluice was built, the lake water was a mixture of salty and fresh water. The rise and fall of the tide twice a day, and the inflow and outflow of the lake, were repeated in cycles, which naturally became the driving force for scouring the rivers, rivers and ports of sediment. On the lakeside are the large salt fields outside Ximenwai and Geshan Village. Historically, these two villages were specialized in producing sea salt. The three villages of Houshan, Qianwu and Mogang in southwest Hunan are the main grain producing areas of Jinghai Town. The lake is rich in high-quality creek crabs, hairy crabs, sand shrimps and various freshwater fish. It can be called a comprehensive production area of ??fish, rice and salt.

In 1952, if it was beneficial to prevent moisture and waterlogging, the County Water Conservancy Bureau built a dam and a gate at the junction of the river and the lake - the "Shishi Lake Sluice". During the Great Leap Forward era of communeization, two earthen dams were built in the middle of the lake and the lake was reclaimed for farmland, which gradually changed the original ecological and environmental conditions of Shishi Lake and its surroundings. In 2006, it was renovated and expanded in order to better facilitate waterlogging drainage and smooth navigation of the waterway. After the salt fields on the shores of Shishi Lake were demolished, the town (commune) built 10,000 acres of salt fields in the coastal red soil zone behind the lake, and resumed salt production in Jinghai Town.

The several-kilometer stretch of beach between Jinghai and Suzhou, from the foot of Bijia Mountain to the edge of Jinghai Bay, used to be a barren desert. The sand burns your feet when the sun comes, and the water soaks your feet when it rains, which makes people feel intimidated. In 1958, the government organized cadres and people throughout the town to cultivate soil and plant trees, and planted large areas of casuarina. An oasis forest farm was established. At the same time, a highway from Jinghai to Suzhou will be built. This ended the history of people traveling between the two places in the southeast of Jinghai no longer taking ferry boats and soaking their feet in hot sand. In addition, Houbiao Forest Farm was built in Houbiao, and the entire coastal area was basically greened. This not only changed the natural environment of the barren mountains and beaches along the coast, but also provided a lot of fuel for Jinghai residents.

After half a century from liberation to 2005, the ancient town of Xiangcheng has made certain achievements in all aspects, but the appearance of the town has remained the same and has not been able to produce major changes. In comparison, it lags far behind several other old towns in the county. In particular, the narrow alleys inside and outside the city have traffic congestion, and the old city looks old and dilapidated. Many Jinghai people living in other places lamented this. It's exactly this: He was once proud of Kwai Yang, but fell into disrepute. In 2006, after the change of the town government, the new leadership team with Bureau Chen as secretary took advantage of the general trend of building a new socialist countryside, looked far-sighted, assessed the situation, and made drastic efforts to transform the appearance of the old Jinghai City. The restored city wall on the northeast side of the city has restored the ancient city's glory. A large stone archway with three gates and four pillars was erected at the entrance of the west avenue of the city, showing "He Qing Hai Yan". In the south of the city, in front of the "Anlan Pavilion" leaning against the Shishi Lake, a large stone elephant symbolizing the "Elephant City" was placed. This makes the ancient town "named Xiangcheng but not like Xiangcheng" and becomes a veritable Xiangcheng. The current shore of Shishi Lake is "a clear symbol of jade and a magnificent scenery of the border town". It has become a good place for people to relax and enjoy themselves. What is even more worth mentioning is that three cement roads were avoided and paved around the edge of the city, and trees and poles were erected on the lakeside and riverside to form a seaside promenade, which changed the appearance and traffic of the ancient city. Fundamental changes. Today's Jinghai City is truly brand new, its old appearance has become a new look. Whether they are local residents or foreign visitors, they are all impressed and full of praise. The villagers of Jinghai wrote a five-character acrostic poem to express their respect:

Jingjiang is decorated with the ancient city, and the sea and horns show their beauty.

A jade elephant is placed in the south of the town, and political achievements will open up a smooth road.

The capital of the palace attaches great importance to cultural relics, and the erection of the building is marked with a gold book.

The hearts of the people are united and the common people sing about their husbands.

With the construction of Jinghai Power Plant, the future of Jinghai will be a prosperous, beautiful and pleasing picture. With a planned total investment of more than 40 billion yuan, Huilai (Jinghai) Thermal Power Plant has invested 6.3 billion yuan in the first phase of the project to complete the construction of 2×600,000-kilowatt generating units and officially connected them to the grid for operation. The Jinghai Shibeishan Wind Farm, which comes with the thermal power plant, has invested 746 million yuan, installed 167 wind turbines, and has all been put into operation. The total annual power generation can reach more than 25 million kilowatt hours. The beach wasteland around Jinghai Bay is full of poles and windmills.

An energy base that is under construction and development will definitely bring about the construction of more projects and bring a welcome boost to the economic development of Jinghai Huilai. It's exactly:

Jinghai Bay with clear water and clear waves,

Wind energy, thermal power and electricity are closely related.

Thousands of sky lanterns reflect the vast sea,

The sleeping ancient city shines with starlight.

Jinghai has a long history and an outstanding place. From the Song Dynasty to the present, the literary style has been praised and talents have emerged in large numbers. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many academies and bookstores in Jinghai City, and various villages also established study schools to develop education. According to historical records, in the Ming Dynasty, those who were admitted to the imperial examination were Chen Cong and Chen Shangzhi. Successors include Hu Minghan, Hu Hui, Zhou Shangwen, Hu Wenkui, Wang Jiankang, Ai Shixi, Chen Junci, Chai Zi and other scholars. In addition, there were regular eunuchs who were qualified to supervise students, such as Hu Daoguang and Hu Shu, who could be called the prosperous age of scribes.

Those who were elected in the Qing Dynasty were Hu Yuzan, Chen Zhensheng, Ma Gongxian, Hu Hanzhong, Zeng Xiqian and Ke Rixin. Among the students from Zhonggong were Hu Dongbi and Hu Shizhong. There are also Shi Yanzhen who paid Yuan, Zhongde Neighbor Zhongsui Gongyuan, Rong Shifang Zhongen Gongyuan, Zeng Jinhua Zhongfu Gongyuan, and later Zhongyou Gongyuan. Those who paid tribute include Lin Rongli, Lin Peng, Hu Youxin, Xi Dingxin, etc. The generals include Cai Yingju, Liu Ren, Hu Daoguang, Ma Wenhao, Lin Junming, Lin Gui, Shi Shutang, Rong Jun, Hu Qingyuan, Hu Shen, Zheng Shizhang, Hu Kaiwen, Huang Qinchao, Huang Qinhui, Huang Qinying, etc.

During the Republic of China, although there was no middle school in Jinghai, the school with Jinghai Central Primary School (formerly Jinghai Academy) as its cradle also produced many knowledgeable people. Among those who came to prominence during the Republic of China were general Gu Guohua, Xi Yihou who later served as county magistrate of Rucheng County, Hunan Province, Lin Gongren who served two terms as magistrate of Huilai County, and major general Hu Gongmu who served two terms as magistrate of Chaoyang County. , and Fang Deming, who served as the mayor of Huilai County for a short period of time.

Jinghai has always been one of the cradle of calligraphy in Huilai County, where learning calligraphy and painting is very popular. There are achievers in this area throughout the ages. For example, the three characters "Xilai Temple" written by Yaru Sigong Shi Delin in the Qing Dynasty, with iron pen and silver hook, are majestic. The plaque "Dun Fuxuan" written by Zeng Jinhua of Gong Yuan Dynasty has a tight structure, round and beautiful shape. They are all of great appreciation value. During the Republic of China, Jinghai calligraphy flourished even more. There are Lin Gongren and Hu Peishan (official script) who are popular in the Chaoshan area, Chen Wenran (zhili), Yuan Bangshu, Xi Chang, who are popular in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and Rong Sanshi who is good at pointing calligraphy and painting. In addition, there are Shi Guoyi, Xi Changxin, Lin Guoquan, Yuan Bangqing, Gu Zhiwen, Rong Jiesheng, Gu Wuqiang (traditional Chinese painting) who are good at calligraphy, as well as Lin Shengxiong, Lin Qingxiong, Ke Xiuxiang, etc. who are good at calligraphy and engraving. Now there is a new group of young calligraphy enthusiasts who are starting to make a name for themselves and have won prizes in municipal, provincial and national youth calligraphy and painting competitions. They have many successors and will continue to flourish.

After liberation, Jinghai Central Primary School education mushroomed and developed vigorously. In November 1950, the "Huilai Branch Education Office of Huilai County People's Middle School" was opened. In the spring of 1952, it was changed to "Huilai Middle School", and in March 1953, it was changed to "Huilai No. 2 Middle School". In September 1958, the first high school freshman class was admitted and developed into a full-time middle school with junior high school and high school. In 1986, in order to meet the needs of educational development, "Jinghai Town Middle School" was added. Most of the students in the Jinghai area are smart by nature, diligent in studying and practicing, and they are more outstanding in their studies, both in the past and now. In 1965, there were 46 graduates of Huilai No. 2 Middle School. Of the 46 graduates who took the college entrance examination, 33 were admitted to various universities, and 12 of them were admitted to key universities across the country. Jinghai students who have outstanding scores in the college entrance examination in previous years are not uncommon. The new generation of bachelors of letters can be found all over the country and in all walks of life. For example, Lin Aluminum, who graduated from Jinghai Central Primary School before liberation, relied on his talent and hard work to become a lecturer and professor at Wuhan University. There is Lin Tiejun, a lecturer, professor and mentor who graduated from Renmin University of China and stayed at the school to teach. There is Rong Tiehua, secretary of the Party Committee of Guangzhou Cancer Hospital and expert professor who is well-known in the medical field. There are also Xi Mingsheng, the former director of Nantou Hospital in Shenzhen, Cai Rongwu (deceased), professor and tutor of Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen Medical University, and so on. There is Lin Yutao, a senior engineer who served as the director of the Naval Ordnance Research Institute before retiring, and Lin Kejie, a senior engineer who received a special salary subsidy from the State Council. There are also many teachers and scientific and technological workers who are well-known in the education and scientific and technological fields.

There are department-level cadres working in party and government agencies, Shanwei Municipal Party Committee Secretary Rong Tiewen, and military-level cadre Lin Yongqing working at the Guangzhou Military Region Naval Base. There are also many county and division level cadres and army and regiment level cadres, it is difficult to list them all. In addition, there is Shi Mingsheng, who is well-known in the religious circles. He graduated from the China Buddhist Academy and is currently the young abbot of Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou and the vice chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association. He is another famous Buddhist monk after Song Chaoyue, a famous southern monk from Jinghai. There are so many talents emerging in endlessly.

We can firmly believe that Jinghai people with good genes and common people living together will exert greater light and heat in this unique land with a long history in the great situation of the new century.

Exactly: Penglai is not just outside Shandong, but also in the corner of Zou, Lu and Jinghai in southern Xinjiang.
