Living in the neighborhood of the old Zhang and Wang, every time after dinner they like to talk about some gossip. They said from the immediate Zhang Gong dike to his history and change, there are only remaining cultural relics to witness, Zhang Gong dike bunker group has not seen much. Nowadays, the residents of the Treasure Lake love to dance in the place of garden park, once a high landfill landfill, has become a beautiful leisure park. There is also an anti-Japanese-era bunker inside, which should remain there and be presented to visitors as a heritage landscape, said Lao Wang.
This used to be a rambling riverside pond where they fished from time to time. Later, when this bridge was built, it cut off the long embankment, and they also said that the bamboo leaf sea used to be a floodgate. Nowadays it is really a big change, not knowing that the cars on the Zhanggong embankment are flowing like weaving, while the highway under the embankment was established later. Along with the old Wang and Zhang's thoughts, let's witness the changes in the history of Zhang Gong dike.
Zhanggongdi Zhanggongdi is located in the eastern part of the East and West Lake District of Wuhan City. Zhang Gong Causeway originally for the Qing Guangxu 31 years (1905) Zhang Zhidong as Governor of Hubei and Guangdong, in order to control flooding, to ensure the safety of Hankou appropriated funds to build, so it is called Zhang Gong Causeway.
In 1905, the governor of Hubei and Guangdong Zhang Zhidong's main under the construction of a large sum of money from the east to the Hankou dike, the west to the helm of the mouth, a total length of 23.76 kilometers. This embankment was initially known as the Long Embankment of Houhu Lake. Long embankment by the Ox Lake Guangfo Temple that is now the dike angle as a starting point, to the northwest over the Daijia Mountain, where a ninety-degree turn, folded to the southwest, through the Gushao tree, to the forbidden mouth stop, **** 27 miles.
After the great flood of 1931, the embankment was generally raised and thickened, and the elevation of the top of the embankment had reached 29.3 meters. Before the liberation of Wuhan, the Kuomintang army in defense of the People's Liberation Army southbound army, borrowed Zhang Gong dike as a barrier, along the dike to build bunkers, dig trenches, laying tracks, digging off the dike, so that the dike has been seriously damaged.
Zhanggongdi bunker group is the only battlefield fortification left in Wuhan local defense war, but also the best witness of Wuhan war history. 1931 "September 18" Incident, in order to may come to the war against Japan, the national government in Wuhan Zhanggong dike along the embankment built bunker group. 74 years ago, the Chinese army in the area, and the frantic attack on Wuhan, the Japanese army. With the madness of the Japanese attack on Wuhan, carried out a shocked the world, the ghosts of the tragic fight, but ultimately did not stop the Japanese attack. 1938 October 25th fall of Wuhan, the Japanese invaded Hankou city, the Chinese army is not simply abandoned the defense, but a heroic resistance, until the 26th there are still formed Chinese troops in the resistance, until the sacrifice of all!
Wuhan in 1954, like the new China, was being reborn. In the five years since the establishment of the new China, Wuhan has built as many new concrete roads as in the past sixty years, and as many new sewers as in the past thirty years, more than three times as many as in the past thirty years, and the first bridge over the Yangtze River, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, should also be started and completed immediately.
According to the "Wuhan embankment records", August 10, 1954, 7 pm, adjacent to the Jianghan Pass building in the alley burst pipe surges, the hole from 4 centimeters rapidly expanded to 40 centimeters, the gushing water column 1 meter above the road surface. That night, *** more than 1,800 people involved in rescue, take the embankment with sacks of soil to build a well, the embankment to bags of soil to seal the inlet, the emergence of water with a steel plate stacked stacks of bags of soil to seal the pressure until the early hours of the morning to get out of danger.
In the entire one hundred days of the flood season, Wuhan cumulative mobilization of more than three hundred thousand cadres and masses, more than one thousand three hundred service teams, there are 110 martyrs sacrificed in the combat position, in the support of the whole country, finally won the battle of this arduous Wuhan defense. 1954 Wuhan defense has been 67 years, and facing this year's new crown epidemic, we are the same in Wuhan, the whole country! The people united and won another hard-fought battle.
In 2012, Wuhan officially launched the construction of Zhang Gongdi urban forest park, built east to the Hankou river beach, west to the Hanjiang river beach, more than 30 kilometers long, about 100 meters wide forest park, and the construction of the Zhang Gongdi greenway, and the Hankou river beach park, the Hanjiang river river beach park docking.
There are five breakpoints along the Zhanggongdi Greenway due to urban traffic or other reasons, which will be repaired, renovated and upgraded within the year to realize the full line, when the greenway around Hankou will be a series of urban parks such as the Jiangtan Park, Zhanggongdi, and Zhangbihu Park, which are connected with the Jianghanguan, the historical and cultural neighborhoods of Hankou, and the Citizen's House, and extends the city's public **** space.
