Huang Yue is going to fly back to Shenzhen tomorrow morning, everyone will be happy for him today, Wang Jian will invite him to dinner, I said that I will arrange the activities after dinner.

Originally, Wang Jian was going to arrange dinner at the newly opened Hanhuang Restaurant by the Xiangjiang River, which is a local super-large-scale star-rated restaurant, and many units are chosen here for entertainment, with luxurious decoration and expensive dishes, which is very pompous.

Wang Jian took his father's VIP discount card and booked a big box, but Huang Yue resolutely did not go, saying that he had eaten too much in a place like this in Shenzhen, and what he missed most was the authentic taste of Xingcheng, so he changed to "fried meat with chili" at his request. The shop is located in a shack that resembles an illegal building outside the old pump factory, and it is difficult for even locals to find a place without an acquaintance to take them to the first place.

The name of the store is "fried meat with chili", and the best dish is naturally this dish, and the rice soaked in its oil soup is even more delicious, and we have three or four bowls of rice in less than ten minutes. It's just that Xiaomin, a northern girl, grew up by the sea, she sweated when she watched us eat chili peppers like this, so we had to help her order a few non-spicy dishes, such as green vegetable bowls, taro steamed pork ribs and the like. Today is really called dinner, because I really eat a lot of rice, and my stomach is filled with all kinds of white, red, and yellow wine on weekdays, and I often forget to eat. It's not that today we all suddenly became more conscious and quit drinking to nourish ourselves, but that there was still a hard battle at night, so there was no hurry, you can put a bottom in your stomach first. Only Zhang Xun and Don Juan, two people who are not happy with alcohol, still drank a bottle of Baisha beer by themselves.

In the past two days, Huang Yue has been busy dealing with his own affairs and visiting relatives here, and he has no time to take Xiao Min around, until this afternoon, he took Xiao Min to Tianxin Pavilion to have a look. Because it was a weekend, Lin Zi and I also had time to accompany us.

Tianxing Pavilion, also known as Tianxin Pavilion, is located on the top of Longfu Mountain, the highest terrain in Star City, and the ancients regarded it as a feng shui treasure land that is an auspicious omen. Its main body is composed of the main pavilion and two sub-pavilions in the north and south, the main pavilion is three stories high, the secondary pavilion is two floors, and the middle is connected by a verandah. Escalator to the pavilion, raise your eyes and look into the distance, but see the Xiangliu to the north, Yue Se to the south, the orange island floating green, people are refreshed and happy, open-minded.

The name of Tianxing Pavilion originates from the Ming Dynasty's prevailing "Xingye" said, according to the starry field, the position of Tianxing Pavilion corresponds to a "Changsha Star" in the sky, so Tianxin Pavilion is called Tianxing Pavilion again, it was a place for the ancients to observe the stars and worship the gods, and the pavilion enshrines the Wenchang Emperor and Kui Xing statue who dominate the world's fame, in order to protect the prosperity of the Xingxing City, "invigorate the humanities and reach the heart of heaven". During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with the relocation of the Chengnan Academy to the city wall of Tianxin Pavilion, the Tianxing Ancient Pavilion became a cultural sacrifice place corresponding to the Chengnan Academy.

The ancient city wall below the attic was built in the five years of Gaozu in the Western Han Dynasty, has a history of more than 2,200 years from now, was originally earth rammed, changed to stone base brick wall in the Ming Dynasty, is 8.5 kilometers long, is long from north to south, narrow strip from east to west, and has nine city gates altogether. To 1924, the original national ** built the ring road, only retain the current section of the ancient city wall, its length is 251 meters, 13.4 meters high, there are sometimes Lianyun: "The pavilion is on the nine heavens to welcome the sun and the moon, and the city leaves a corner to see the rivers and mountains." ”

Although the Heavenly Star Pavilion is not dedicated to the gods of war such as Xingtian and Chiyou, because the tower occupies the commanding heights in the city, it is a place where soldiers must fight from the day it was built, and it can be said that it has experienced vicissitudes. Guan Yu may have scolded under this city when he fought in Changsha, and it has never stopped in modern times, with swords and swords everywhere, and the sound of guns and cannons continues.

We entered from the southeast gate of the newly built Tianxin Park, and the first thing that caught our eyes was the stone archway of Chongliemen, which was still standing after so many years, solemn and majestic. This is the Republic of China ** in 1946 to commemorate the anti-Japanese "Changsha four battles" built by the fallen soldiers, the four battles of the Tianxing Pavilion are the main positions of our army's defense. There are two couplets on the archway, in the center is "swallowing Hu Xuan, bravely defending mountains and rivers", and the side couplets are written by the seal body "make it difficult and forget its death, what you want is more than life". Looking up at the top of the stone staircase, the Chonglie Pavilion is impressive. Huang Yue's grandfather was a witness of the year, and the people of Xingcheng called his grandfather "嗲嗲", Huang Yue said that I said that the weapons of the national army at that time were too backward compared with the Japanese army, and the most effective way to kill the Japanese army was similar to the current ***suicide**, that is, human flesh**. In order to effectively block the Japanese attack, there were no *** rushing up to block the enemy's guns, some ** tied ** to their bodies, and the whole platoon, the whole company and even the whole battalion rushed to the enemy and died with the devils. Of course, Xiao Min didn't believe it, she said, "Are the Kuomintang soldiers so brave? ”

Flowers bloomed on both sides of the stone staircase in the hot sun, and we climbed the stairs to the castle tower. Chinese people who have been immersed in thousands of years of civilization have been no strangers to the ancient city wall since childhood, at least they have seen it many times in books and TV, or have climbed the Great Wall in their dreams, not to mention that Zhou Xiaomin, who grew up in the north, has already been to places such as Shanhaiguan and Badaling, so at first Xiaomin was not very interested in this tourism project arranged by Huang Yue. Huang Yue still insisted on taking Xiao Min here to have a look, he felt that coming here to climb up and overlook could have a more comprehensive understanding of the history and culture of Star City and the current construction style; Another reason is that he has lived in this neighborhood since he was a child, and from his house he walked through a few alleys to the foot of the castle tower, where he spent a lot of his childhood, and also to satisfy his nostalgia by the way.

He said to her, "I promise it's different from the other walls you've seen before." He has this confidence, because he knows that the city wall of Tianxing Pavilion is indeed different from other places, and there are two moon cities in the south and north outside the main city, which makes the city wall more easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is extremely rare in the existing examples of ancient city defense projects in our country, and has important research value.

Not only were the cannons in the battlements she could see everywhere else, but she also saw the cannon holes in the middle and lower parts of the walls. The artillery holes hiding in the city walls are safer than the open batteries and have a stronger ability to resist strikes; Second, the position can be adjusted according to the range of the artillery. In ancient times, the large iron cannons were relatively bulky and could not easily adjust the firing angle, so they placed the ones with a close range in the low-altitude gun holes, and the long-range ones in a relatively high position, so as to form a firepower coverage for the enemy attacking from different distances near and far.
