After the reform and opening-up, the government is harmonious, everything is thriving, and the country's rich cultural heritage has been re-excavated and utilized. As early as 20 years ago, when the reform and opening up just started, Pei County, the hometown of Liu Bang, the emperor Gaozu, was moved by the wind. While building new projects, the famous "Dafeng Taige" and other cultural relics related to Gaozu were sorted out and restored, and they were first opened to the public. After the news was published, I was curious to find the remains of the hometown of this peasant leader who was born in a small pavilion and later became a famous emperor in the history of China. Although it has been more than 20 years, what I have seen and heard is vivid.

Not far from the west of Peixian Bus Station, there is a building complex integrating Peixian Cultural Center and Peigong Site. When you enter the gate, turn right. On the lintel of a round gate, the word "Ge Fengtai" is cursive. On both sides of the gate, there are stone tablets introducing the Song of the Great Wind, which are marked as "provincial key cultural relics protection units". Entering the round gate, the words "relics of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty" are engraved on the left wall, and the four characters "Han Tom City" are engraved on the opposite screen. It is said that this is a commemorative slogan for Emperor Gaozu to return home dressed in gold, entertain his old friends, appreciate the kindness of local upbringing, and exempt Pei County people from taxes. Take a round door to the right, and you will find a solemn and quiet courtyard, where all the buildings maintain the antique national flavor. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a "Fengge Terrace", on which the monument of "Fengge" is collected, named Terrace, which is actually three pavilions. On both sides of the hall door, there are couplets engraved with the words "Returning to the truth and being popular, the wind is still strong and the local songs are fierce". The front wall of the hall is inlaid with an ancient monument of "Dafengge", the left side is inlaid with a monument introducing the resume of Emperor Gaozu, and the right side is inlaid with a monument of "Dafengge" copied in the Yuan Dynasty. These two monuments originally stood in the open air, but due to age, flood and erosion, they are all incomplete and illegible. In order to protect the ancient cultural heritage, since 1983, Pei County People's Government has paid a certain price and organized manpower to rebuild this monument. County cultural relics workers found all the original words stripped from the monument from famous calligraphy works such as Four-body Dictionary, carefully carved the new monument and erected it on the right side of Songfengtai. In front of the newly-built "Song of the Big Wind" monument, Mr. Meng Zhaojun wrote with seal script: "The wind blows and clouds fly, and Haiyang, Jia Wei, returns to his hometown in peace." It is said that this song was written in the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu (BC 196) when Ying Bu, the king of Huainan, rebelled and Liu Bang led an army to conquer. Passing by my hometown on my way home, I hosted a banquet for my parents and got drunk. The lyrics are magnificent, magnificent and gripping, and the language is simple and profound. Later generations remember Xerox as a monument to the "Great Wind Song".

The seal script of Song of the Wind tablet is an ancient art treasure, with vigorous brushwork, solemn style, symmetrical structure and beautiful font. Pei County Records and Xuzhou Prefecture Records were written by Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some people say that they were written by Cao. Today, Mr. Feng Yiwu's textual research is written by Han Peiren. Although there are different opinions, it has been circulated for nearly two thousand years, and its cultural relics are of high value, attracting countless famous tourists to write for it. A stele gallery was specially built on the right side of Gefeng Terrace, which preserved the remains of famous poems in past dynasties.

After the restoration of Dafeng Song Monument, this important cultural relic can be handed down from generation to generation, and its original appearance reappears, not only for tourists to watch, but also for future generations to study. Because of the chronological value of Jiazi (1984), the new monument was named Jiazi Monument.

In front of the newly-built monument of "Song of the Great Wind", it is the "Ji-Shooting Platform" of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. The pavilion column of the "Ji-Shooting Platform" is engraved with the couplet "One arrow flies to draw a Ji, and a hundred thousand soldiers fight for clothes", which shows the heroism of the first peasant emperor in China history.

On the right side of the "Gefengtai" which is symmetrical with the shooting platform, there is Liu Bang's Xiemashi, walking backwards from the tree of Xiemashi. In the right corner of Gefengtai backyard, there is an ancient well. It is said that Emperor Gaozu used the water from this well to drink horses.

A round door in the left corner of the backyard of "Gefengtai" leads to the inner courtyard of the cultural center. Although the courtyard of "Gefengtai" is not spacious, it has an entrance in front and an exit in the back, which can accept a steady stream of tourists.

Although Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of Han Dynasty, left few relics in his hometown, he was full of heroic spirit. There are "Fengge Cinema" and "Fengge Photo Studio" in Pei County, and banners with "Fengge" and "Fengtai" and "Fengge" are posted in public places such as the station guest house. It can be seen that the people of Pei County are angry with this song.
