★ The Origin of Stone Carvings in the War of Resistance Against Japan ★

Guifeng Mountain, located at the south foot of the middle Dabie Mountains, is a revolutionary mountain. The 28th Red Army, which played an important role in the history of China's revolutionary war, was born in this hot land. Liu Deng's army fought here too.

Today, as the "Huanggang Patriotic Education Base" in the revolutionary hot land of Guifeng Mountain, there are still some historical impressions such as Dong Lao's inscriptions, "Anti-Japanese War Place" and "Swallowing Japan" stone inscriptions for tourists to visit and admire, and accept the spiritual baptism.

Stone Carvings in the Victory of Resistance Against Japan

On the Revolutionary Hot Turtle Mountain, there is a cliff stone inscription named "Anti-Japanese Victory". It is situated on the edge of the Fengchoi Road, West to east. The inscriptions on it are almost full of this precipice wall, which is about three feet high and has abrupt peaks. From right to left, the first is a five-character poem, followed by the postscript, and then the four-character stone carvings of "the victory of resistance".

The original text is as follows: Tortoise Peak Watches the Sun with Chant: Tortoise Peak Watches the Sun, Clouds and Seas, West and East; Jiangshan Pan knees, stars to palm; Atmospheric Baosenluo, the wind should beat bells; Everything in the sky, the dark see the same. Gengchen (1940), Yu returned to Shimacheng, drought along the way, the people suffered. Because Sishan prayed for rain for the people, he went with the governor of Zhong County after dinner. It rains when it is in Neshen. It is also the head of Zhongxian who climbs mountains in the rain. It is already dusk. The next morning when we climbed to the peak and looked at the sun, the clouds and oceans rose and fell, the stars appeared and disappeared, and the rest of us came from the clouds and watches. At the knee of the situation of the mountains and rivers, we made it because of our feelings and covered the documentary. Ji Gong

Judging from this historical period, the stone carvings of Guifeng Mountain "Anti-Japanese War Site" should be written by Zhang Gan's troops after they returned to Macheng, Anhui Province. From the postscript after the poem, we can see that on his way back to the division, Zhang Gan not only saw the drought along the way, but also saw the displacement of the common people in the war. The phrase "all the people suffer" shows that Zhang Gan still has the common people in his heart. And he and Macheng County Governor Zhong Shao made an appointment to climb Guifeng Mountain, with a very clear purpose: "pray for the rain for the people". Reading Jigong's silent poems, we can also realize that he is indeed an expert in geomantic omen. His poems reveal his unique understanding of the topography of Guifeng Mountain.

Nowadays, the people of Sri Lanka have passed away, but the "War of Resistance" is still engraved on the top of Guifeng Mountain, which has become an unforgettable national memory.
