Dawangjing Park, Chaoyang District, Beijing
Dawangjing Park is located in the eastern part of Beijing. The park is adjacent to Beixiao River in the north, Jingshun Road in the southeast, the Fifth Ring Road in the northeast, and Wangjing Outer Ring Road in the west. It is located in Dawangjing Science and Technology Business Innovation Zone in Chaoyang District. Speaking of Dawangjing, let me first introduce the origin of Wangjing to all leaders: Legend has it that one year, Emperor Qianlong went to the Summer Resort to spend the summer. He passed by this village (now Dawangjing Village) via the Imperial Road, stopped to rest, and when he was drinking tea, he looked back and saw Dongzhimen, and then named this place Wangjing. In the 21st century, Wangjing area has developed rapidly, and many multinational company headquarters and R&D centers have settled in Wangjing, and Fortune 500 companies have actively moved in. For example: Canada Nortel Networks China Headquarters and R&D Center, Motorola China Headquarters and R&D Center, Samsung Electronics (China) Service Headquarters, Germany BMW Automotive Electronics R&D Center, Beijing Benz Building, etc. In addition, well-known domestic companies such as Greenland Group and Poly Group have also settled in. Wangjing area should strive to create new highlights in Chaoyang's industrial development and urban operations, and create a shocking first image area of the country's gate. For this reason, Dawangjing Science and Technology Business Innovation Zone has also been listed as one of the top ten development bases in Chaoyang District during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. The Dawangjing Park located in it is a pilot construction project of urban-rural integration of the Beijing Municipal Government. The predecessor of the park was Dawangjing Village, a famous urban village in Beijing. In 2009, Dawangjing Village in Chaoyang District was selected as a pilot project and began demolition work on May 9, 2009. The demolition task was completed on June 10 of the same year. The entire demolition work took only one month, with a total demolition area of 486,000 square meters and 1,692 households involved. As an important part of this urban-rural integration pilot construction project, in order to enable the residents of the area to not only enjoy modern life, but also enjoy a high-quality living environment. The Chaoyang District Government increased its investment and decided to build a regional comprehensive park on the original site of the demolition to effectively improve the environmental level of the area. Dawangjing Park also got its name. Dawangjing Park started construction on June 28, 2009 and was officially opened to tourists on May 8, 2010. The park covers a total area of 33.4 hectares, of which 26.16 hectares are green, 4.9 hectares are paved, and 2.34 hectares are water. The construction of Dawangjing Park has greatly improved the quality of the surrounding environment and has become a green highlight in the Dawangjing Science and Technology Business Innovation Zone. At the same time, the park also relies on the regional advantages of the park to create unique conditions for the better development of the park. The park adheres to the concept of "green mountains and green waters, butterflies and flying warblers - beautiful Wangjing, my home", and follows the principles of people-oriented, ecological priority, urban-rural integration, and perfect system; beautify the city, build a park with culture; give full play to the multiple functions of green space and create the best living environment. In recent years, the park has continuously strengthened management and improvement, and strived to give full play to the ecological, environmental and leisure and recreational functions of urban gardens, and built a green oxygen bar with business and leisure as its characteristics to serve the Wangjing Business Park. Through reasonable planning, the park has carefully designed the main landscapes such as Wangjing Terrace, Qingyun Terrace, Ruyi Lake, Qingxi Waterway, Lotus Ferry, Tree-Shaded Square, Health Trail, and Ancient Tree Square.
Tianjin Confucian Temple Museum
Tianjin Confucian Temple, also known as Confucius Temple, is a temple for the feudal dynasties of Ming and Qing dynasties to worship Confucius, the great thinker, politician, educator and founder of Confucianism in ancient my country. It is also the location of Tianjin's earliest palace of learning. Palace of learning is an ancient government-run school. The Confucian Temple now covers an area of 13,000 square meters and a construction area of more than 3,000 square meters. It consists of two parallel temples of the prefecture and county and the Minglun Hall of the prefecture temple. It is the largest and most complete ancient building complex in the city. The main buildings include the archway, the Wanren Palace Wall, the Pan Pool, the Lingxing Gate, the Dacheng Gate, the Dacheng Hall and the Chongsheng Temple. In 1954, the Confucian Temple was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin, and in 1987 a special museum was established for its protection and utilization. Tianjin Confucian Temple was built in the first year of the Zhengtong Period of the Ming Dynasty (1436 AD). The history of the Confucian Temple is closely related to the development of Confucianism. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to establish the Confucius Temple in the National Academy, thus determining the custom of "temple and school integration". Emperors of different dynasties followed this rule. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that all students must first pay homage to Confucius. Therefore, the Tianjin Confucian Temple was also built in the academy palace. The temple was built because of the academy. Since the establishment of the garrison and the construction of the city in 1404, Tianjin has not had a garrison school. In order to enable the children of the garrison to study, in 1436, more than 30 years after the establishment of the garrison, Zhu Sheng, the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, donated his private residence to build a school palace and built the first "Tangzhai Gongsi", which is a Confucian school, also known as the garrison school. In the third year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1725 AD), Tianjin was changed from a garrison to a prefecture. In the ninth year of the Yongzheng reign (1731 AD), the prefecture was promoted to a prefecture, and Tianjin County was established. The prefecture school was changed to a prefecture school. In the twelfth year of the Yongzheng reign (1734), Governor Li Wei built a county school on the west side of the prefecture school, forming the adjacent layout of the "prefecture" and "county" schools. This architectural layout is unique in the country and is a unique landscape of the Tianjin Confucian Temple. In the 12th year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1734 AD), Governor Li Wei built a county temple on the west side of the Fu Temple. Its architectural layout is the same as that of the Fu Temple, but it is slightly smaller in scale. On the east side is the Fu Temple Minglun Hall, which was built in the 8th year of Emperor Hongzhi's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1495 AD) and was a place for lectures in ancient times. "Ming" means "to know or understand", and "lun" means the principle of "being a good person and understanding things". "Minglun" means to let people know the principles of being a good person and doing things, which is the concept advocated by the Confucian school. The Confucian Temple we see now has been preserved after many renovations and expansions in the Ming and Qing dynasties since its establishment in the first year of the Ming Dynasty. It has been protected by the People's Government after liberation. The magnificent ancient Confucian Temple, as a carrier of Chinese traditional culture, is a precious historical and cultural heritage of Tianjin. It can be said that in the 600-year history of Tianjin's establishment of Wei and city building, the Confucian Temple has become a symbol of Tianjin's urban cultural heritage, morality and style.
