Chen Diaoyan, the leader of the peasant uprising army, fought bravely against Yuan here, leaving many touching stories. Dengdian Mountain is a famous mountain full of tragedy.
At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, a peasant uprising army galloped in southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong, shaking the rule of Yuan Dynasty and persisting in the struggle for six years. The leader is Chen Tiaoyan from Bai Ye Village, Taiping Town, Zhaoan County. The General History of China records the story of General Chen's bravery, chivalry, being good at fighting and supporting the army. His sister Chen Diaohua, later called Chen Diaomei, is smart and capable. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army invaded the south on a large scale, burning and looting, and the masses were cornered. Chen's brother and sister have long been rebellious and angry. 1277 in early summer, he stepped forward and directly led the poor in nearby towns to hold an armed uprising. At the same time, the She and Han farmers in Chaozhou were moved by the wind and held an uprising under the leadership of their leader, Mrs. Xu. Chen Diaoyan sent someone to contact, and the two armies joined forces in time, and the military strength was greatly shocked. "The forces spread all over Zhangzhou, Ting and Chao, with hundreds of people and hundreds of miles of camps" (Shi Sai-jo of Yuan Dynasty). Wherever the insurgents went, they were severely punished-and the means were cruel and scattered, which won the support of the masses. Later, due to the demise of the Song Emperor and the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Diaoyan sealed the king's independence in the name of "Restoration of the Song Dynasty" and called on the people to resist the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, due to the powerful influence of the Yuan army, the uprising failed, and Chen Tiaoyan died heroically in the front wall of Diandeng Mountain. Up to now, the ancient road, the ruins of Camp One, Chen Diaoyan Terrace, the ruins of the training ground, Chen hanging eyebrow's dressing table and other landscapes can still be vaguely identified from the rubble ruins on Diandeng Mountain, and Chen hanging eyebrow's cenotaph remains on the main peak. Although the hero disappeared, the hero's name remained forever.
At the initiative of pilgrims and tourists from Chaozhou, Raoping, Zhao 'an and Dongshan, Guangdong, the pavilion of Chen Guniang was built to commemorate the anti-Yuan national hero Chen hanging eyebrow. This pavilion, presided over by a woman from a temple in Dang Ming, organizes relief, fund-raising and recruitment supervision. Construction started in May 2000 and was completed in February 65438. The pavilion is located on the hillside southeast of the main peak of Diandeng Mountain, with its back facing Tianshiyan and overlooking Tai Po Creek. It is elegant, beautiful and generous, and it is a new attraction in Diandeng Mountain tourist area.
