Introduction to ahava

Weihai was called "Shiluo Village" in the early Han Dynasty, which was a remote village, and was later called "Luo Gan Village". According to later generations, it was because there were citrus trees everywhere that the name was changed. As for whether this is the case, there is no way to verify it. It was changed to "Qingquan Mine" in Yuan Dynasty. The reason for the name change is unknown, but the literal meaning of "clear spring" is "clear spring water". As a mountainous coastal place like Weihai, the importance of water can be imagined. "Geng" means depression, or it may be named after the Acropolis, which is surrounded by the lonely mountain at the southern foot of Foding Mountain in Beimian Mountain. According to this understanding, the name is named after the terrain. There is also a spring well with the monument of "Baoquan Puji" on the north side of the east gate of Huancuilou Park. Many people come to fetch water every day.

According to "Ahava" (Qinggan Long Ben), it is recorded that "the grottoes in the southeast of Huancuilou are sweet in spring and drought. City people brew with salt, so they call it "Little Hui Quan". I wonder if the name "Xiao Huiquan" has any historical origin?

1398 (thirty-one year of Ming Hongwu), in order to prevent Japanese invasion, ahava was established, so it was named Weihai.

Ahava was founded in 1945, and changed to Weihai after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Yuan Dynasty was called Qingquan Mine. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1398), in order to prevent Japanese invaders from harassing, a garrison was set up, which was called Ahava. Named after Wei Zhenhai. In the 13th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1735), Ahava was cut back to Wendeng County. In the 21st year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1895), it was occupied by Japan after the Sino-Japanese War. In the 24th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (AD 1898), it was forcibly leased by Britain. In the 19th year of the Republic of China (A.D. 1930), it was taken back by China government.

It has jurisdiction over Huancui District, Rongcheng City, Wendeng City and Rushan County (/kloc-0 was upgraded to Rushan City as a county-level city in July 1993).

Many new fortresses have been built on the north and south sides of the Gulf and in Liu Gongdao, Japan Island and Huangdao, which have become coastal defense fortresses and Beiyang naval bases.

1894 During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, due to the dangerous terrain and strong fortifications in Ahava, the Japanese army decided to avoid frontal attack from the port. Twenty-five warships were assembled, with more than 25,000 troops, and landed from Longxu Island in Rongcheng Bay. After detour, they took the South Shore and attacked Weihai Port by land and water.

Beiyang fleet was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, completely annihilated, and Weihai fell (see the Battle of Weihaiwei). 1898 was forcibly leased by Britain, and 1930 was taken back. In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, 1938, the Japanese army invaded Weihai again, 1945, Japan surrendered in August, and it was recovered by China.

Weihai, located at the northeast end of Shandong Peninsula, is adjacent to the Yellow Sea, Yantai (Taiwan Province) and Penglai in the west, Bohai Strait in the north and Lushunkou in Liaodong Peninsula. * * * is the key to the Bohai Sea, guarding the sea gateway of Beijing and Tianjin. Ahava was originally a coastal fishing village, and its Chinese name was Shiluo.

Ahava is an ice-free port, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with an entrance to the east and Liu Gongdao in front, forming two passages in the east and north. Ri Island, Huangdao Island and Yashi Island are listed on both sides of Liu Gongdao, forming a natural barrier of the port, and the situation is dangerous and stable. Ahava's import and export trade is duty-free, and its status as a free trade port attracts many foreigners to do business. In the heyday of Shangbu District, there were many trading houses and a scene of prosperity. Fishery has also flourished because of the popularity of seafood, and many fishing lines have appeared.

As early as 65438+30s, China began a nationwide anti-smoking campaign. However, driven by high profits, the colonial government continued to implement the opium monopoly system in Ahava, allowing businessmen to operate opium in Weihai through bidding. At the same time, it also built opium plantations on leased land. Although the colonial government also issued a smoking ban at that time, the "ban on light must be dark" made the tobacco museum a legal industry. At that time, the school with the highest teaching quality was founded by China Anglican missionary Brown. Ren Huang School, the only government-run school founded by colonial authorities; Ahava has the first girls' school-"Shude Girls' School"; There is also the first middle school founded by local people-"Qidong Middle School".

With the increase of westerners, the medical and health conditions in Ahava have also improved. The colonial authorities opened three hospitals in China. Through the old historical photos, we can clearly see the British People's Hospital in the commercial port area. Liu Gongdao Royal Navy Sanatorium is the best medical institution in the city, but it only serves foreigners, and all China patients are stopped.
