He placed a basket of soil at his feet and another basket of soil in Jiuzhou. Unconsciously, the immortal got drunk and fell asleep. He fell asleep for a long, long time.

Jianlong Tower, also known as Xiangou Tower, is located in Hainan Tropical Bird World Park. It is made of bricks and stones, has 7 floors and is 25 meters high. Jianlong Tower has 28 real doors, and each floor has 8 real doors and false doors. Among them, there are 3 real doors in the east, west and north on the first floor, and the other 5 doors are all false doors. The second floor is just opposite to the first floor, with 5 real doors and 3 false doors. In this way, the virtual and the real are staggered upward to prevent vertical cracking of the tower body. The interior of the tower is hollow, with brick staircases on the inner walls leading to each floor. The entire tower does not use any modern building materials. The tower bricks are stacked together with original building materials such as glutinous rice and plant ash. The pagoda bricks have the single-character imprint of "Thousand-Character Classic", and the three characters "Seeing the Dragon Pagoda" are engraved on the front of the bottom floor. In 1956, the People's Government allocated funds to renovate the Jianlong Pagoda. In 1986, the Ding'an County People's Government designated it as a county-level cultural relic protection unit and began to rescue and protect it. In 1996, the Ding'an County Cultural Center raised funds to repair the Dragon Tower to maintain its former glory.

Jianlong Pagoda is a typical Feng Shui tower, because it is designed according to the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes. The tower is octahedral, and the walls are printed with "sun, moon, stars, stars, heaven and earth". The words "Xuan, Huang" and "The weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe" are still clearly legible today. According to historical records, Jianlong Pagoda was built in the 16th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1751). Magistrate Wu Wenyun, gentleman Lin Qihe and others donated funds for the construction, but construction was stopped midway due to lack of funds. In the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign (1767), Wu Xianju, the county magistrate, invited gentlemen to donate funds to continue the construction. The name of the tower "Jianlong" is based on the line in the Book of Changes "Seeing a dragon in a field is a good way to meet an adult." Its original meaning is to pray for talents, so it is obviously a Feng Shui tower. What's amazing is that there is a half-meter-long iron object designed to protect against lightning on the top of the Dragon Tower. It is very rare to install lightning protection objects on ancient pagodas in Hainan ancient pagodas and even domestic ancient pagoda buildings. The American scientist Franklin invented the modern lightning rod in 1752, and it had not yet been introduced to China when the pagoda was built. Muruishan is located in the southern mountainous area of ??Ding'an County. It is the "cradle" where the red flag of the Qiongya Revolution has not fallen for 23 years. During the two civil revolutionary wars, Qiongya soldiers carried forward the revolutionary spirit of hard work, preserved the revolutionary fire and strength, and made immortal contributions to the victory of the national revolution and the liberation of Hainan. In order to commemorate the martyrs and inspire future generations, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government decided in February 1993 to build the Muruishan Revolutionary Base Memorial Park on the site of the former Red Army playground at the state-owned Zhongrui Farm. In order to speed up the development of the old revolutionary base and better leverage Muruishan's role as a patriotic education base, the provincial government invested 51 million yuan to reconstruct the road from Ding'an Taling to Muruishan. Mu Ruishan Memorial Park was completed on August 1, 1996.

In March 1928, Cai Tingkai of the Kuomintang led his troops to Qiong and launched a massive siege in the Soviet area. The soldiers and civilians of Qiongya fought back, but the counter-encirclement and suppression was frustrated because the enemy was strong and we were weak. In the winter of that year, Wang Wenming, chairman of the Qiongya Soviet government, led his troops to move to Murui Mountain and opened up a revolutionary base area, preserving the revolutionary fire for the first time.

In July 1932, the Kuomintang guard brigade commander Chen Hanguang led his troops to encircle and suppress the Qiongya Soviet Area. Qiongya soldiers and civilians resisted heroically, but due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign failed. Feng Baiju led more than 100 party, government and military personnel to deal with the enemy in the harsh environment of Mu Ruishan, and in the end only 25 heroes were left. They embraced lofty revolutionary ideals and lived like savages. After persisting in the arduous struggle for more than eight months, they broke through and returned to the old revolutionary base of Qiongshan County in April 1933. The revolutionary fire was once again preserved. Mu Ruishan played an important role in the 23-year red flag of the Qiongya Revolution and is worthy of being the cradle of the Qiongya Revolution.
