As early as the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (1329), Yang Gui, a local tribute scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, set up a square table here called "Panguifang", which was full of expectations for the scholar themoon to win laurels. According to the Records of Chengxiang County in Kangxi, at the end of the Song Dynasty, Hou Anguo, a tribute scholar from Ninghua, Fujian, came to Meizhou as an education official (professor) and settled in Panguifang.

There are numerous academies and private schools

The former site of Chongshi Academy has become a part of Meizhou Middle School Campus today, and the ancient buildings have long since disappeared.

Only Dongshan Academy by the Zhouxi River has been restored to its original appearance, which has become the best scenic spot for people to remember the heyday of Meizhou.

Dongshan Academy is one of the ancient academies in Meizhou. It was founded in the 11th year of Qing Qianlong (1746) with the assistance of the king, and it has been over 26 years.

Panguifang is also the former residence of Huang Zunxian, a famous poet, thinker and diplomat.

It is the former residence of Huang Zunxian, a patriotic poet in the late Qing Dynasty. The land of human beings is based on the famous sentence of Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "build house is in the land of human beings without chariots and horses". In the spring of 1884, it was designed and built by Huang Zunxian himself, with a history of more than 1 years. (Photo by Lin Foquan)

In addition, many historical celebrities such as Li Naiping, Li Zhongzhao, Li Zaixi, Yang Zhongxing, Li Guangzhao, Yang Maojian, Huang Ji, Huang Yaomian, Zhang Ziping, Huang Baitao, Zhong Dong and Ye Bihua have emerged here, which have had a great influence in the historical process of Guangdong and even China.

Therefore, there is a saying that

in Ming and Qing Dynasties

China's imperial examinations flourished in Jiangnan

Lingnan's Guangdong culture flourished in Meizhou

Meizhou's humanities flourished in Panguifang

Panguifang, which continuously expanded its cultural influence to the north, especially along the cultural belt of Zhouxi, which promoted the cultural prosperity in the eastern part of Meicheng Jiangbei and the northeast region. Moreover, it also urged the birth of another cultural community at the western end of Jiangbei, that is, the western area named Wangxingfang (also known as Hongxing Fang) in the early Qing Dynasty.

hongxingfang refers to Shijiawei, Huangmudun, Yueyingtang, Hehaotang and Gengxialou in Xijiao Street, Meijiang District, Meizhou City.

When entering this community, the scattered ponds are surrounded by antique buildings. Look carefully at the names of these buildings-Liankedi, Zuijingju and Renfenglou.

The residents of these buildings are

the famous scholarly families of Wangxing Square

Among them, the Liang family is the outstanding representative. It is understood that Liang Shenzhen, the eighteenth ancestor of Liang's family, was admitted to the Jinshi in the 16th year of Jiaqing (AD 1811), and he was an official in the cabinet, a doctor of rites, and later generations called him the Duke of rites. Liang Shenzhen's sixth son, Liang Xinjing, won the examination in the 28th year of Daoguang (A.D. 1848), and served as a state official in Fujian, known as the official of the secretariat. Later, Liang Jia began to marry frequently with Huang Zunxian's family in Meizhou and Huang's family in Panguifang, where he lived, and the two scholarly families in Meicheng were thus called "listed Liang, but yellow in the lower market".

The "Crane Tower" is the former residence of Liang Bocong, a scholar who is good at calligraphy and painting in Meizhou history, a great master of Meizhou education, a famous educator and a painter of poetry and calligraphy.

Liang Bocong has successively taught Jiashan Girls' Middle School, Women's Normal School, Provincial No.5 Middle School and Provincial Meizhou Middle School, and cultivated a number of outstanding talents, such as famous painter Lin Fengmian, famous sculptor Li Jinfa, the originator of modern symbolism poetry in China, educators Zhong Jiaoguang and Sun Kangzeng.

Meijiang is not only full of talented people, but also a cluster of colleges, secondary schools and key well-known schools in Meizhou, with educational resources such as jiaying university, higher vocational college campus, municipal agricultural school, senior middle school, Dongshan middle school, etc. It is the historical context of Meizhou city and the base for spreading modern culture.

Meijiang District, which has a glorious revolutionary tradition

surrounded by clear water and green hills

located between Jiashan and Meishui, has a glorious revolutionary tradition

It is understood that there are dozens of important revolutionary historical sites in Meijiang District

In recent years, Meijiang District has devoted itself to polishing the business cards of these revolutionary sites and former residences of heroes, systematically sorting out, repairing and maintaining one.

as the former central Soviet area, the old Meijiang area has gone through a glorious and tortuous road in the process of democratic revolution. Since the Revolution of 1911 and the May 4th Movement, especially after the founding of China, during the National Revolution and the Agrarian Revolutionary War, Meicheng established the * * * Party organization and established revolutionary armed forces earlier.

There are many heroes in Meijiang

In April 1925, after the National Revolutionary Army first marched eastward to Meizhou, Zhang Wei, a Commissioner of Guangdong District Committee, established the "Meixian Branch of Guangdong New Student Society" in Bajiaoting.

in December of the same year, after the second crusade army arrived in Mei, Zhang Wei and Hong Jianxiong, director of the Political Department of the 14th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, established the first Party branch in Mei County in Bajiaoting, which became one of the areas where the Party was founded earlier in Northeast Guangdong.

the anding library, located in the north gate of Meicheng and Fengweige Lane of Daoqian Street, was used as a temporary joint office by Zhang Minda, the commander of the Second Division of the Guangdong Army, when the National Revolutionary Army first marched eastward to Mei in 1925, which shows its superior geographical position and the open mind of the owner.

In April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, and in the name of "cleaning up the Party", he searched and slaughtered people everywhere. In the increasingly tense situation, * * * Meixian ministries and commissions and the * * * Youth League Meixian prefectural committee held a joint meeting in mid-April and decided to launch an armed struggle. On May 12th, workers, students, teachers, farmers and businessmen in Meicheng held the "May 12th" riot that shook eastern Guangdong.

in October 1929, the first, second and third columns of gongsijun led by Zhu De marched into dongjiang, and gongsijun successfully captured meicheng, an important town in eastern Guangdong. 293 Red Fourth Army officers and men counterattacked Meicheng and defended the red guerrilla zone left by the "Zhu Mao Red Army" with their blood and lives.
