Cool the earth, clean the water sky!
If there is no East Lake, wouldn’t you want Jiangnan?
Today, let’s talk about a loft in East Lake, Huguang Pavilion . Because it is hidden on a small island in the center of the lake, it also has a name called "Huxin Pavilion".
However, at first, it was not called this name, but was called " Zhongzhengting ". How about
? Does the name "Zhongzheng" sound familiar? Earlier, when we talked about Wang Huiqiao on Xunsihe , we also mentioned that there was a time when it was not called " Jiefang Bridge ", but " Zhongzheng Bridge ".
Because of this "Zhongzheng", it was the name of the boss at that time - Lao Jiang.
As for the origin of Huguang Pavilion, Marshal Ye made it clear in one sentence.
On April 23, 1979, Marshal Ye pointed at Huguang Pavilion on the Changtian Tower and said to the people around him: "Do you know what the pavilion was called in the past?" The accompanying man shook his head: "I don't know very well!"
Marshal Ye said: "Zhongzheng Pavilion was a birthday gift from Xia Douyin to Lao Jiang!"
That's right, Huguang Pavilion, which has a history of more than 70 years. It was built in 1931. It was a sacred temple built by Xia Douyin, a senior official of the provincial government at that time, to celebrate Lao Jiang's 45th birthday.
Who is Xia Douyin? He was born in the army and was promoted to the commander of the newly formed 10th Army because of his good performance in a series of unpopular actions and became the commander of the Wuhan Garrison.
Unexpectedly, he was also a sworn brother of Jiang. We all know that Feng Yuxiang is the sworn brother of Chiang Kai-shek, and Li Zongren is also the brother of Chiang Kai-shek, but I really didn't expect that Chiang Kai-shek had such a little slut brother.
From a gangster to a military commander, it was all thanks to the support of this elder brother. Xia Douyin naturally wanted to "repay" Chiang Kai-shek, so he sent someone to build a temple for Chiang Kai-shek on a small island in the middle of the East Lake and named it "Zhongzheng Pavilion".
After the completion of the "Zhongzheng Pavilion", Xia Douyin presented the pavilion to Lao Jiang as a special birthday gift. Of course, it is impossible for Chiang Kai-shek, who is far away in Nanjing, to come to Wuhan to receive the gifts.
It is said that in 1938, when Wuhan became the wartime capital, Chiang Kai-shek once came here and took a look at the attic. At this time, it was a time when mountains and rivers were broken and windy and rainy. This matter, no matter how you look at it, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.
What made Xia Douyin feel even more uncomfortable was that this birthday gift did not bring things to the direction he expected. Because during his tenure, he cultivated his own power, he lost trust and was suspicious of Lao Jiang.
Not long after, Chiang Kai-shek suspected that he had a second intention. Since then, Xia Douyin has been sitting on the bench. Later, he resigned in anger and returned to the Donghu Lake to operate farmland and coal mines, but he still achieved nothing. After liberation, he left Hong Kong and made a living by divination and star performance. Two years later, he died of illness on the streets.
, a story that started with "unright intention", ended with "never allowed".
Although the original intention of building a loft is not right, Huguang Pavilion is still very particular in terms of location selection and layout.
Huguang Pavilion is a type of Liuhe Pavilion. Its implication is that the "Zhongzheng Renhe" Liuhe Pavilion is firmly located in the middle of the lake, just in time to "celebrate the birthday". It can be seen that the warlords' tactics at that time were perfect and ashamed.
However, because of this pavilion, it was later renamed Huguang Pavilion. Therefore, there may not be many people who know about the historical story related to Chiang Kai-shek.
The specific location of Huguang Pavilion is north of Moshan and south of Tingtao Scenic Area. Starting from the Lake Light Overture, we walk along the East Lake Greenway , about 3 kilometers away. In an open area, you can see a stone archway with "Huguang Pavilion" engraved in blue font. This is the entrance.
Huguang Pavilion is the main building. It often has an ancient flavor and is an octagonal spire. The entire attic is divided into two floors, with glazed tiles on top, and there are also bunker arches and eaves extending outwards below. From the overall decoration and layout of this attic, it can be called an ingenious and excellent historical building.
It is a bit regrettable that when we went there, Huguang Pavilion was not open to the public and could not climb the tower to enjoy the scenic scenery of Donghu in this unique location.
Although I can't climb to Huguang Pavilion, the scenery here is still very beautiful.
Today, Huguang Pavilion is connected with the newly built beach bath, and the transportation is very convenient. A cruise dock site has also been built here. Visitors can take a boat from Huguang Prelude to the dock directly to Huguang Pavilion. The transportation is very convenient.
passed through the stone archway, and there was a song "East Lake Fu" on the left that attracted the attention of Qi Ge. The author is Liu Xinglong .
This poem is written with great literary talent. Qi Ge said that among the articles he saw about Donghu, this should be one of the best.
I'll excerpt here, you can enjoy it yourself.
It is worth mentioning that this boat dock built on the water extends into the lake in a T-shaped shape about 30 meters, surrounded by gray railings.
If you take photos here, you will find that the panoramic view of Huguang Pavilion is right behind you, which is an excellent location for taking photos and checking in. If you are interested, you can also give it a try?
