Location: Yacheng Village, Yazhou District, Sanya City, Hainan Province Introduction: Yazhou Ancient City has a long history and is known as "a place of prefectures and counties for eight dynasties with a history of two thousand years of construction". According to historical records, Yazhou City was an earthen city before the Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1198), bricks were used to build the city wall, and a concave and convex parapet was created; in the sixth year of Shaoding (1233), the city wall was expanded again, 242 feet long and 16 feet high, with three gates in the east, west and south. In the first year of Yuantong in the Yuan Dynasty (1333), the state judge Li Mi continued to repair the city and built a watchtower. In the Ming Dynasty, in the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), the prefect Liu Bin reinforced the city with bricks and stones. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), Li Qian, a captain of Danzhou, expanded the city again, from Hainan Road to the west gate of the city, with a circumference of 513 zhang 5 chi, a height of 2 zhang, and a thickness of 9 chi. The following year, Li Xing, a captain of Danzhou, thickened the city wall with bricks and stones, and built a watchtower on each of the three gates, with 1017 battlements and 20 garrisons for soldiers to take turns guarding the city. In addition, a trench was dug outside the city wall to protect the city, with a circumference of 557 zhang and a depth of 1 zhang 5 chi. In the first year of Jianyuan (1399), Zhou Zong, a captain of Danzhou, expanded the city wall with a circumference of 557 zhang and a depth of 1 zhang 5 chi. Li built a moon city outside the city gate; in the 16th year of Yongle (1418), the prefectural commander Hong Jue continued to repair the city; in the first year of Zhengtong (1436), the commander Chen Zheng and Hong Yu rebuilt the suspension bridges on the moat outside the three city gates; in the 14th year of Chenghua (1478), the commander Wang Zeng repaired the city; in the 2nd year of Hongzhi (1489), the prefect Hu Jiao repaired the city; in the 18th year of Hongzhi (1505), the commander Hu Zheng erected plaques at the east and west gates, with the east gate named "Yangchun" and the west gate named "Zhenhai"; in the 14th year of Chongzhen (1641), the prefect Qu Han rebuilt the city wall and raised it by three feet. Map of the city in the Yazhou Chronicles of the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty In the 18th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1661), the governor Mei Qin rebuilt the East City Tower; in the 11th year of Kangxi (1672), the governor Zhang Zhuoshi and the guerrilla Zhang Deyuan donated money to build the West City Tower and the South City Tower, and repaired the Qianyue City; in the 12th year of Daoguang (1832), the prefect Wang Yuzhang and the governor Qin Yong donated money to rebuild the city, and at the same time moved the South Gate 30 meters east to the central axis of the Imperial Academy; in the 21st year of Daoguang (1841), the new South Gate was built, and the governor Xu Menglin took office, inscribed a plaque and named it "Civilization Gate". During the Republic of China period, from the 9th to the 10th year of the Republic of China (1920-1921), the East and West City Gates were demolished and roads were opened into the city; in the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), a section of the North Tower City Wall was demolished, and a road was opened to the outside of the city.

#2月好地方2025 "Is polo ancient football?" 10-year-old Xiao Kai waved a restored bat, and the Hanfu master corrected him: "It should be like playing hockey, but you have to avoid the soul of the Jinshi!" While solving a tidal puzzle in a century-old arcade, Xiao Kai discovered that "The water level is high on the 38th day of the first lunar month" was engraved at the base of the column. He was so excited that he stammered, "It's... it's the Morse code of the Tanka people!" The movable type printer asked him to typeset the text, and the result was "Yazhou = Hogwarts, Hainan". While stealing chicken shit rattan cake, Xiao Kai licked his lips and asked: "How did the ancients make matcha ice cream?" Before leaving the city, he buried the homemade wooden movable type in the cracks of the wall: "A surprise package for archaeologists three hundred years later!"

After wandering around Yacheng this weekend, I discovered that it is a city with a lot of character. The ancient houses and buildings bear the marks of history, hidden in plain sight, which inevitably makes one slow down and savor the atmosphere. Besides the ancient city of Yazhou, there is another easily missed village called Baoping Village. Walking through the streets and alleys to visit Baoping Book House and Baoping Historical and Cultural Museum is quite an experience. There are also some hand-painted murals on the walls of the alleys, which are very interesting. Address: Baoping Village, Yacheng, Yazhou District, Sanya City

There is not much history in Sanya, and there are not many historical stories that can be described. If you want to pursue the past of Sanya, you must start from the ancient city of Yazhou Yazhou City, now the town of Yaya, Sanya. It is located more than 40 kilometers west of Sanya City. Established Yazhou from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Since the Song Dynasty, Texas, counties and counties have been established here. Today's Yacheng has become a tourist destination in Hainan with its long history and numerous historical sites. Yaya Old City still has ancient city gates, Confucius Temple and other sites. The Yacheng Confucius Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty. The temple is built with Dacheng Hall, Civilization Gate, Chongsheng Temple and Zunjing Pavilion. Maybe it is because of the deviation from the urban area of Sanya, and the surrounding countryside is still showing the rural scene , but the more rural it is, the more you can feel the simplicity of the locals the grandfather living here is here. Slowly holding the fan also came forward to wonder where we came from and tell us that the origin of Sanya comes from this experience changes Sanya in the change of the ancient city of Yazhou still retains the most original side here It is the starting point of Sanya and the origin of Sanya is also the future of Sanya.

The ancient city of the southernmost tip of China in the ancient city of Yazhou has undergone several large-scale expansions in history and has gradually become a solid city. During the Daoguang Period of the Qing Dynasty, the ancient city of Yazhou was the most prosperous and splendid. When the ancient city was in the Song Dynasty, there were only two doors, the East Gate and the West Gate. After the Daoguang Year, four doors were repaired. After several historical changes, the original appearance of the ancient city of Yazhou was seriously damaged. And because of years of disrepair, lost the glory of the past. After the repair, the current ancient city of Yazhou, the only existing ancient city gate, is the door of civilization, and is often referred to by many people as "the first gate of the motherland of southern Xinjiang". Now the historical imprint of the ancient city of Yazhou is harder than the glory of the past. But still majestic. Civilized door into the arrow, it is a very conspicuous less Situ archway, this is in recognition of the famous Ming Dynasty Lingnan Juru Zhongfang father and son Jinshi and his nephew lifted people. The achievements of the three people also benefited from the highest school at the time, Yacheng Xuegong. Also known as "Confucius Temple" is the most southern Confucius Temple in China. It is called the "First Temple of the End of the World". Founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, it has a history of more than 900 years. For thousands of years, this is the center of power, and there are many celebrity footprints and rich historical and cultural heritage.
