In the Han Dynasty, the city of Yulan was low-lying and prone to flooding. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the fifth year of Liang Tianjian (506 AD), Liang Yuzhou assassinated Shi Wei Rong in order to seize the Yulan City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the cofferdam was flooded with fertilizer and washed away the magnolia. Since then, the city has been in ruins.

In 618 A.D., after Li Shimin unified the whole country, he ordered Wei Chi Gong, the general of Youwu Hou, to choose the terrain with high terrain and convenient water transportation (that is, the area south of the Chinese vegetable market in today's Cross Street) on the south bank of the Nan' River in the east, which is about six miles away from the original Hancheng, to build a new Yulan City, named Jindoucheng.

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty (960 AD), after many years of war in five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Yulan area was desolate again, and the poet Wang Zhidao had made such a description in "Out of the North Gate of Yulan": "Broken walls and stones, new fortifications, broken halberds and buried in the old battlefield." The withering and simmering are exhausted, and there are no cattle and sheep in the spring breeze." The signs of decay can be seen.

After nearly 200 years of development, the town gradually regained its prosperity. By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded, and the Song Dynasty moved its capital to Lin'an (now Hangzhou'zhou), and Yulan became the front line of the anti-Jin resistance. Song Xiaozong Qiandao five years (AD 1169), the city further developed, Huainan West Road commander Guo Zhenjian "town big city small" began to expand, the original city wall outside a large piece of land, together with Jin Dou River, Xiaoyaojin, Jin Dou Wei together into the newly built Yulan City, called Douliang City, the scope of Tang Jin Dou City expanded a lot. In addition to building a moat outside the city, there are two water gates (sluices) in the east and west.

In normal times, the grain and baggage in the south of the Yangtze River can be directly transported into the city by the water of the Jinshui River, and the soldiers and civilians in the city also have a clean water source; The wartime closure was conducive to defense, and in the layout of the city, it was possible to make full use of the natural river channel at that time, and the combination of peacetime and wartime was considered. Since then, the outline of Magnolia City has been basically finalized. It is a pity that due to the years of anti-Jin wars, Yulan, an important frontier town of that year, became a place of "lush forests and long grass, white bones looking at each other, flies and flies, and no traces" at the end of the Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, ruled the kingdom of China (1279 AD) and ordered the destruction of all the cities in the country, and the city of Song Douliang was also razed to the ground.

After Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty unified China, in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he ordered Yu Tonghai to save trouble in Zhongshu (later sealed Guogong) and rebuilt the brick city wall on the original site of Douliang City in the Southern Song Dynasty. Qingtie beats the 'state'.

Due to the stability of social order in the early Ming Dynasty and the rapid development of the recovery river of agricultural production, the magnolia located on the bank of the Jindou River quickly recovered its vitality, and it appeared to be extremely lively and prosperous, presenting the scene of "department stores and horses, thousands of walls and rows, all the shops on both sides of the river, and the noisy merchants". However, in the period of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty (1506-1520 AD), Xu Yu, the prefect of Luzhou, was afraid of the attack of the rebellious peasants Liu Liu and Liu Qi, so he opened a wide and dug deep north trench and closed the weakly defended Xishui Pass, which became a source of water and gradually silted up.

Because the merchant ships could not reach the city directly, the once prosperous and prosperous banks of the Jindou River became decayed and desolate, and only along the banks of the river outside the Dongshui Pass developed several hundred meters long, scattered wharves and storage yards. The stinky ditch not only affects the health of the residents' living river, but also the low-lying southeast of the city becomes a flooded country when it rains heavily and the water is not drained smoothly.

"The mud-walled huts, the oblivion streets, the terrible news of the call sign in the middle of the night, every year and see." The Jindou River, which once played an important role in the life of the Yulan Economic River, has become a major scourge that threatens people's lives and property. Magnolia City also declined again because of this.

Although Yulan, a Qing dynasty warlord in Beiyang, was still the political center of the region, the city itself was gradually declining. to 1949. On the eve of release, the magnolia has been destroyed by the withering of all industries, full of desolation, ruined walls everywhere, and sewage and garbage everywhere. With a built-up area of only 2 square kilometers and 50,000 citizens, the city has decayed into a small town with an area of 5.2 square kilometers.

And after decades of cultivation, Yulan gradually became a little angry, otherwise. It's not as good as those counties.

In fact, although Magnolia's economy is poor after all, Magnolia itself still has a lot of resources. Universities, natural resources. Snacks are not inferior to other cities, especially some of the more famous cultural sites, and there are many in Yulan City. Of course, the most famous one now is Gu Xiaoyaojin.

Xiaoyaojin is located in the northeast corner of the old city of Yulan, only one step away from the crossbow platform, and is recorded in the classics with the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms period. Xiaoyaojin is also known as "Doujia Pond", "Fighting Duck Pond", which was the Jindu on the water in ancient times. In the twentieth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (215), Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 to attack Yulan. The army was also attacked by Cao Cao's guard general Zhang Liao. Sun Quan retreated to this place, the bridge has been demolished, Sun Quan took a horse to fly over the water to escape, the descendants named this bridge as the flying riding bridge. The story of "Zhang Liaowei's shock and Xiaoyaojin" in the famous classical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" comes from this.

Xiaoyaojin covers an area of 31.3 hectares. The whole garden is naturally divided into east and west gardens based on the water system. The scenic spots in the park are dense, and the scenery changes step by step. The East Park is a youth activity area and a children's playground. There is a large lawn in the middle, which is a square for tourists to gather and entertain. In the southeast corner is the zoo, with rare birds and animals and a variety of aquatic creatures. In the northeast corner, there is a village for visitors to take a break in tea and a boat pier for rowing boats. The West Garden is dominated by plant landscaping. With the architecture and garden sketches, there are plum blossom mountain, peony garden, rhododendron garden, Tibetan garden, bonsai garden, Duxiu Peak and other scenic spots, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, competing for beauty. The rockery and strange stones, small bridges and flowing water, water pavilions, corridors and pavilions in the park are wonderful. They are all separated by a few steps. Visitors enter the park, the winding path explores the secluded, such as entering the fairyland.

Now hang horizontally on the south gate of the park on the plaque "Ancient Xiaoyaojin" four words. It is the teacher of Emperor Xuantong in the late Qing Dynasty and the prince Shaobao Lu Runitch. In the park, there is not only a tomb of Zhang Liao, the general of Cao Wei, but also a statue of Zhang Liao with a horizontal sword and a prancing horse; The Feiqi Bridge, where Sun Quan of Eastern Wu was defeated, was also restored and rebuilt in the park. It also enriches the connotation and artistic conception of Xiaoyaojin.

Among the four classical masterpieces in China, the characters and stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are well-known. In the 67th chapter of this popular masterpiece, "Cao Cao pacified Hanzhongdi." Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin", Luo Guanzhong, according to the records in "Three Kingdoms-Wu Zhi", vividly described this historical example of winning more with less, and with a poem "Lu jumped Tanxi on the same day, and saw Wu Hou defeat Yulan; Retreat and gallop with a whip and ride a horse, and fly the jade dragon on the jade dragon in the free Jin" makes a vivid account of the battle situation and scene at that time.

Xiaoyaojin Park is located in the northeast corner of today's Yulan Old City, and the site of the park was a Jindu on the water in ancient times. The name of the garden is derived from the famous article "Getaway" in the ancient book "Zhuangzi". In the 3rd century A.D. The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were established, and Yulan was subordinate to Wei. It is the throat of Jianghuai and a military powerhouse. In the twentieth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (215 AD). Sun Quan of Eastern Wu took the opportunity of Cao Cao's expedition to Zhanglu in Hanzhong and the emptiness of Yulan, and personally led 100,000 elite soldiers in an attempt to capture Yulan in one fell swoop and achieve the goal of opening the passage to the Central Plains to the north. Zhang Liao, the general of the Wei State who guarded Yulan, faced the dangerous situation of a strong enemy pressing the territory and the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, he was not afraid of danger, and resolutely led his soldiers to attack the enemy. Under the infection of Zhang Liao's heroic but enemy spirit. The soldiers of the Wei State united as one, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and defeated the Wu army with one as ten. This is the story of the famous "Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin" in history, and the battlefield site is in the area of Xiaoyaojin Park.

In the long history of more than 1,700 years, Xiaoyaojin, an ancient battlefield in the Three Kingdoms period, has experienced vicissitudes. During the Song Dynasty, Yulan City expanded, and Xiaoyaojin was encircled into the city. Dou Ziyan, a bureaucrat in the Ming Dynasty, took Xiaoyaojin into private ownership and renamed it "Doujiachi". During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Xiaoyaojin was renamed "Fighting Duck Pond" by a king surnamed Hanlin. During the Guangxu period, it changed hands to Gong Zhaoyu and Gong Xinzhao's private garden. Gong Xinzhao called himself Douyin, so Xiaoyaojin was renamed "Douye Pond". After that, the Gong family garden was repeatedly war-torn and increasingly dilapidated. On the eve of the founding of the new Chinese state. The site of the park is ruined and broken, overgrown with weeds, and full of desolation.

After the establishment of Xinhua in 1949. People's Government. The government began to gradually build Xiaoyaojin into a park, and the Jijia Garden to the west of Xiaoyaojin was also extended to the garden. In 1953, it was officially named "Xiaoyaojin Park". After years of careful construction and operation, Xiaoyaojin has now built a comprehensive park with beautiful environment and pleasant scenery. It has become one of the Magnolia Scenic Spots and Historic Sites and one of the new "Ten Views of Magnolia".

Xiaoyaojin Park covers an area of 31.3 hectares, of which 11.2 hectares are water. The park is fan-shaped and naturally divided into east and west by the water system. The water area of the East Park is vast, and the lawn is like felt, which is mainly composed of a youth activity area, a cultural activity area, and an animal exhibition area. There are children's playgrounds, playgrounds, lawn squares, Xiaoyao Lake, Xiaoyao Pavilion, Dujin Bridge, cultural promotion corridor, tea house facilities, etc.

The south gate of the park is an antique gate with a height of nearly 10 meters, three bays, and an archway. Above the gate, an antique plaque is written with four gilded characters of "Ancient Xiaoyaojin", which is the handwritten book of Lu Runzhen, the teacher of the Qing Dynasty champion and Xuantong Emperor Puyi. When you enter the park, the first thing you see is a bronze statue of Zhang Liao holding a spear and a prancing horse. The statue is 5 meters high, and there are five big characters on the base: "Mighty Xiaoyaojin".

Xiaoyaojin Park not only has beautiful scenery and rich cultural connotation, but also plants a variety of strange flowers and famous trees in the park. According to the survey, there are more than 180 kinds of plants in the whole park, and 10,257 trees of various kinds, among which the ancient and famous trees of more than 100 years old include oak, arborvitae, juniper, ginkgo, whitebark pine and many others. A hemp oak tree that grows 50 meters east of Beijin Bridge is 17.2 meters high, 50 cm diameter at breast height, 16 meters diameter from east to west, and the shade area is the size of 4 houses. In 1980 and 1982, the azaleas, camellias, and cypress presented to the park by the Kurume City delegation of Japan were also planted in the park by both sides, symbolizing the friendship between the two peoples.

The tomb of Yuan Shu is located in Chang. 3 kilometers southwest of Yanggongmiao Town, Feng County. There is a small set of Yan family in Cai Wei Village, Gudui Hui Township, there is a Yuan family Gudui, which is said to be the tomb of Yuan Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. It has now been confirmed by archaeologists.

Located on the South Campus of Yulan University of Technology, Hu Bingtang is now an on-campus lake.

In addition, because it is the hometown of Bao Gong, there are many historical sites about Bao Zheng. The Bao River in the city was originally the moat of Magnolia, and was renamed Bao River because Bao Zheng was given by the emperor when he returned to his hometown. There are also historic sites such as Bao Zheng Ancestral Hall and Qingfeng Pavilion.

In addition to the scenery, in fact, Magnolia is also a city of science and education. It is an important science and education base in China, one of the cities of the World Science and Technology Cities Alliance, the country's first scientific and technological innovation pilot city, and is building Huaguo Science City. It has 42 colleges and universities such as Huaguo University of Science and Technology and Yulan University of Technology, more than 200 scientific research institutions such as Huaguo Scientific Yulan Institute of Physics, 230,000 scientific researchers, and its intellectual resources are in the leading position among similar cities in the country. There are 8 major national scientific projects in the country, and Magnolia accounts for 2, namely the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory of the University of Science and Technology of China and the Superconducting Tokamashi Fusion Experimental Device of the Yulan Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yulan science and education tour has become a well-known brand of Anwan tourism, tourists learn science and technology, science and technology people as tour guides have become a beautiful scenery of Yulan.

Of course, Magnolia is also one of the first garden cities in the country. As one of the first three garden cities in the country, it is known as the "Green City" and is the most suitable city for human habitation. With a total length of 8.7 kilometers and an area of 137.6 hectares, the Yulan Huancheng Park has an open layout, like a beautiful "jade necklace", embracing the old city in its arms and integrating the new city, forming a unique urban style of "the city in the park, the garden in the city, and the city and the park blend together". In 2004, the water system around the city won the "Huaguo Human Settlements Environment Model Award". There are also two forest parks in the suburbs of Yulan City, Zipeng Mountain and Dashu Mountain. Magnolia Binlinchao. The shoreline distance from the south side of Yulan to Chaohu Lake is only 10 kilometers. Lake City.

Therefore, in fact, from the congenital point of view, the condition of magnolia is actually quite good. However, due to various reasons, Yulan has not been effectively developed, so although Yulan City is a provincial capital, in fact, the conditions cannot catch up even with ordinary prefecture-level cities.

Of course, this may be because of the reason to avoid suspicion, you know, now the top leader in the stage, but two of the seven are from Anwan Province, if this time to give Yulan a greater policy tilt, it is estimated that there will be many people who are unwilling, so the development of Yulan City has not been well solved.

That is, after 08 years, Yulan City slowly began to carry out large-scale development, pushing the dilapidated urban areas and streets to rebuild, and the roads were slowly widened and heightened, whether it was traffic or housing, there were certain changes in that big construction.

At the time of Wu Ling's rebirth, Yulan City was building an underground railway, and at that time, Yulan City could be regarded as having a trace of a big city. But it's a pity that Wu Ling didn't see the changes in Magnolia in the end, but returned to Magnolia a few years ago, and the current Yulan City is not a big city, even if it is a small city, it is a little incomparable, so there is such a dilapidated place now.
