history

In August of 1841, the British Invaders captured Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, and then occupied Zhenhai, Ningbo and other places. When Emperor Daoguang was in a panic, he sent his nephew Yijing and Wen Wei to eastern Zhejiang and stationed his base camp in changxiling, more than ten miles west of Cicheng, to recover the lost land. In the first month of the next year, Zhu GUI was ordered to lead his second son, Zhaonan, his third son, and a total of 900 soldiers from southern Shaanxi and Gansu to Ningbo to take part in the anti British campaign, and to camp in Dabaoshan, Cicheng, on standby. In the early morning of the fourth day of February, pudingcha, the leader of the British army, sent more than 200 soldiers to take the wheel of fire up the Yaojiang River and swarm to daxiba

Ashore, through Qiu City, Jiatian bridge, straight against Cicheng. Wherever the invading army went, they burned, killed, raped and plundered everything.

General Zhu took the lead, and the headquarters fought hard, and the invading army fled in confusion. The British soldiers retreated to Jiatian bridge, reorganized the remnant soldiers and launched a second charge, which was soon repulsed by General Zhu.

The British troops stationed in Ningbo sent nearly a thousand soldiers to reinforce them. For a moment there was a lot of gunfire. The situation in Cicheng is extremely critical.

In the face of danger, General Zhu once again put on his clothes and led his men to fight bravely, cutting down more than ten British soldiers at one go.

Inspired by Zhu GUI's bravery, the soldiers charged bravely to the enemy. The battle lasted from early morning to afternoon, but Yi Jing and Wen Wei in changxiling base camp were still drinking and drinking, refusing to send reinforcements.

This made General Zhu and his subordinates run out of ammunition and food. The British army came from the East and the west, and Zhu GUI killed dozens of enemies.

When the enemy saw that he was as brave as a tiger, he quickly concentrated his guns on him. General Zhu was shot and killed at the age of 64. His second son, Zhaonan, was cut down by the enemy to support his father and died.

The three sons were seriously injured in the south. They took off their battle clothes to cover up the bodies of their father and brother and led the remnant soldiers to break through the encirclement and retreat. After the war, the Qing government appeased the dead and buried General Zhu and 436 soldiers at the northern foot of Dabao mountain. Local people call it "baizhangfen".

Significance and development

significance

Zhuguici is a hard mountain style building with two entrances, covering an area of more than 1000 square meters. The front and back two entrances are five bay wide and four Bay and eight purlin deep. On the high hall of the ancestral hall is a gold plaque inscribed by Lin Zexu: "loyalty, rules, filial piety and justice".

There are also some stone inscriptions in the temple, such as the stele of Cilang temple, written by Guan Jun, the Minister of rites in the mid autumn of the 27th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1847), and the stele of wuxianzhu general temple in Dabaoshan in Cixi, written by Zhu xuzeng, the governor of Xiaofeng county. The modern calligrapher, Sha Menghai, left a legacy for Zhu guici, that is, "zhidabaoshan is a place where all kinds of things intersect to resist foreign invasion." The couplet of "Wan Gu Liu Fang". General Zhu's banner of the sixth generation, sun Jingsong, was also added to the temple

There are many colors. Not far from the north of the ancestral temple is the place where wall, the leader of the "Ever Victorious" British army, was killed by the Taiping Army in the first year of tongzhi (1862). There is a stone tablet engraved with "where wall was killed". According to Cixi County annals, local people raised huge sums of money in 1843 (the 23rd year of Daoguang) to build a "high Festival Temple" at the foot of Dabao mountain to commemorate the achievements of the anti British martyrs. In the temple, a monument was erected to commemorate the anti British officers and soldiers who died for their country.

The local gentry remembered the Tibetan soldiers' contributions to protect Cixi County from being burned. They were granted by the imperial court. They also worshipped the heroes such as amu and hakri in the "Gaojie Temple" to express their grief and respect.

On the right wall of the temple, the names of amu and hakri still stand out. Bei Qingqiao, a "military poet" of the Qing Dynasty, who joined the army with his pen, also said that "the dandiao, the fishy cave, is located on the cliff, far away from the enemy, striving to win the lonely and swift feet, and all the people are attacked by thunder." The verses are engraved in the temple.

Zhu GUI temple was destroyed in the cultural revolution. It was restored in 1979. The "Tomb of the dead" behind the ancestral temple was moved from the tomb at the north foot of Dabao mountain in 1984. Zhu guici not only has important historical value, but also has far-reaching significance for promoting patriotism and nationalism.

In the autumn of 1848, the ancestral hall built by Cixi County's scholars for General Zhu GUI was completed. Lin Zexu Xin was ordered to write a plaque with "loyalty, rules, filial piety" inscribed on it, which is still hanging on the main beam of the ancestral hall. The couplet of he Shaoji, a famous scholar, and the inscription of the right Minister of rites are still hanging in front of the column and embedded on the wall of the temple. On the day of the completion of the Zhugui temple, Zhang Qi, a Gongsheng of Cixi, wrote a poem of more than 200 words, in which the sentence "born to be a hero, died to be a spirit, and called for the real heroes of the general" was used at the end. After the establishment of the Zhugui temple, the people prayed for peace and incense. Another poet wrote "what is the sad place to rob the ashes 60 years ago when he came to Zhugui temple. A nostalgic poem of "from the ancestral temple to the ground, in the setting sun speechless, haolai".

After the founding of new China in 1961, Zhugui temple was renovated and became one of the first batch of provincial cultural relics protection units in Ningbo. In 1984, Zhugui temple was expanded again, including Zhengshan temple in the east of the temple
