Hometown of niugao

Shibeigou village, Xiongbei Township, is the hometown of Niu Gao, a famous anti Jin general in the Southern Song Dynasty. Niugao uses double maces, which are made of gold. Later, he was subordinate to Yue Fei, who made great contributions to the war against Jin. He participated in the suppression of Yang Yao's uprising. After Yue Fei was killed, he was killed by Qin Hui because he was always against the peace negotiation between song and Jin. After Niu Gao's death, people from Xiongbei village, Lushan County, built a burial mound for him and built a monument for him. Shibeigou village got its name from this monument. At that time, in order to prevent tomb theft, the tomb builders did not clearly mark the specific location of the tomb, but planted two bodhi trees on the far sides of the tomb. Unfortunately, the stone tablet was later pulled away to build the bridge, and two old bodhi trees were cut down in the late 1950s. In shibeigou village, there are basically no objects about niugao left, which makes Zhang Fuying and other villagers deeply regret. But when it comes to Niu Gao's bravery and loyalty, the villagers can't hide their pride. The villagers hope that the superior cultural and cultural relics department can pay attention to it, collect relevant historical materials and cultural relics, and build niugao Memorial facilities in shibeigou village, so that future generations can remember it.
