A grand check-in ceremony was held by the Weihai municipal government on the same day.
Taiwanese compatriots gifted to mainland compatriots of the long-haired goat and sika deer has been on the 16th at 8:00 a.m. from Taipei departed to settle in Shandong Liugong Island, the Taipei Zoo on the 15th for the two pairs of animal babies held a ceremony to send off. The mainland "welcoming group" consists of 10 people, including Zhao Xidian, executive vice mayor of Weihai City. Taipei City and Weihai City exchanged souvenirs.
According to China News Service, on November 3, 2008, the leaders of the "two chambers" (the mainland's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation) completed their first-ever talks in Taipei and signed an agreement to make cross-strait "three links" a reality, thus taking a historic step forward in cross-strait relations. This is a historic step forward in cross-strait relations. During the talks, the "two sessions" *** with the announcement of the cross-strait mutual gift of giant pandas, dove trees and long-haired goats, sika deer.
After the two sides reached an agreement on the donation of precious plants and animals, both sides began preparations.
On December 23, 2008, Taiwan's EVA Air's "Panda Plane" carried the mainland's giant pandas "Tuan Tuan" and "Yuanyuan" and 17 plants that are known as "green pandas" to Taiwan. The dove tree saplings, known as "green pandas", departed for Taiwan. "Tuan Tuan" and "Yuanyuan" arrived in Taiwan that night and moved into their "new home" at the Taipei Zoo. The dove tree saplings were sent to the Fushan Botanical Garden in Yilan.
After the successful completion of the mainland's gift of plants and animals to Taiwan, the progress of Taiwan's return to the mainland's precious animals has attracted much attention. April 19, 2010, after a rigorous selection process, the Taipei City Zoo formally selected the return to the mainland's long-haired goat and sika deer each pair, and for the two pairs of "baby" held a campaign for the name. After the public vote, male and female long-haired goats, sika deer were named "Pleasant Goat", "Happy Goat", "Starry Night", "Points ".
In the two pairs of animal babies are about to leave for the mainland to settle in the occasion, the Taipei City Zoo on April 15 with "marrying a daughter" mood for them to hold a send-off ceremony, by the Executive Vice Mayor of Weihai City, such as Zhao Xidian, composed of 10 people on the mainland, "welcoming group! "The ceremony was attended by 10 people from mainland China, including Zhao Xideng, the vice mayor of Weihai City. Zoo for their special preparation of 12 "dowry", both they like to eat leaves, fodder and food utensils, rattles, but also a symbol of "early birth" of the traditional dowry peanuts, cinnamon, as well as Taiwan's specialty tea, pineapple cake.
Now the male long-haired goat "Pleasant Goat" will soon be 6 years old, after training has long been not afraid of birth. The female Longhair goat "Leyangyang" is just 3 years old, and she likes to hide and play in the safe corners. The buck "Star" is 5 and a half years old and is quite robust. The 3-year-old doe "Dot Dot Dot" is shy and hides in the grass when the wind blows.
Taipei Zoo researcher Zhao Mingjie said the two pairs of animal babies moved to Liugong Island, and if the pairing goes well, the fastest at the end of the year or the beginning of next year, there may be a baby born.
While Taiwan is preparing, the mainland is also selecting the most suitable "new home" for the two pairs of precious animals from the island. After investigation and argumentation, Weihai, Shandong Province, finally won from Changsha, Hunan Province, Jingmen, Hubei Province, Fuzhou, Fujian Province and many other cities.
After more than two years of preparatory work, the Liugongdao Forest Park has prepared enclosures for the sika deer and long-haired goats, as well as supporting facilities such as an animal medical room, a monitoring room and underfloor heating, and is making improvements in accordance with the opinions of Taiwanese experts.
In order to ensure that these two pairs of "baby" in the mainland better life, Liu Gongdao Forest Park and the Taipei Zoo continue to send the relevant personnel to the new home of the animals in the environment, food formulas, management methods, breeding, animal training and medical care, such as the work of mutual exchange, has been ready. The loss or gain of an island can affect the modern fate of a thousand-year-old country, the so-called "same race, same language" of the yellow-skinned, black-haired fraternity thus struggling in the "hunting ground" for half a century, and the aftermath is still felt today. And the aftermath is still being felt today. This is the island of Liugong Island.
The world is like a chess game, the island is like a chess piece, although the volume is small, but it is related to the overall situation. 3.15 square kilometers of Liugong Island, the old shadow of the new picture - contrasting with the current ties between you and me. The evolution of the history of the fortresses on Liugong Island, the existence of the fortresses on Liugong Island and the name, according to the order of historical records, in order: the pre-war Qing officials, the war officials, letters, telegrams, after the war, the Japanese army statistics, today's writings and other four major sources.
On the twentieth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 1889, an alternate governor named Sa Chengyu started from Keelung, Taiwan, to inspect the various fortresses of China's coastal defense. On the twentieth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 1890, Sa arrived in Weihai, and the following is a report from him on the situation of the fortresses on Liugong Island, "......LiuGongDao,NorthMouth Built the ground trap dark battery, table system deep excavation foundation, thought the ground trap shaped like a full moon, hidden in the Amon Shihzhuang new breech ground trap steel gun two. North of the island there is Huangdao Yan, under the mountain to build an earth embankment, land can be passed; South of the island there is Ridao Yan, surrounded by the sea on all sides, mountainous and abrupt, is now building a ground trap dark battery, installed gun positions two." Inspection report to the North and South Pacific forts situation book" in December of the following year, can be called China's first modern compilation of maritime defense information. Sa to Huangdao for the "north", said the north mouth of the built ground trap gun two, obviously refers to the public office of the rear battery, can be seen, in 1890 on the island of Liugong Island, only the public office of the rear battery was built.
A year later, in 1891, coincided with the triennial Beiyang Navy drill, which was also the first big parade after the Beiyang Navy became a military force in 1888. The lunar calendar April 25, Li Hongzhang ship to Weihaiwei review, after the incident, on the fifth of May on the "parade of naval affairs completed folding", the Beiyang Minister mentioned their own next of kin by marriage, Liugongdao base guards commander Zhang Wenxuan, "Liugongdao horizontal based on the mouth of the door, the potential of a very stronghold, Vice Admiral Zhang Wenxuan with the guards in the north of the island of the new ground traps turret, chiseled mountains through the cave, laminated tunnels, and installing the Twenty-four shengte (cm) breechloader, the machine lifts the spirit of speed is very, can snipe the enemy ship, and the body of the gun hibernation is not attacked, for the latest style of the West. And in the west of Liugong Island connected to Huangdao, set up a battery, cross-sea channel, the labor force is particularly difficult." Comparison before and after, can be seen by 1891 Huangdao battery has been built.
Three years later, 1894 again worth of naval parade, Li Hongzhang in the lunar calendar April 15 to Wei, 17th to mobilize the Beiyang Navy warships parade. It is worth mentioning, there are Japanese warships came to "visit", praised the Beiyang Navy "control is strict". This time, Li Hongzhang in the lunar calendar April 25 uploaded the "school parade of naval affairs completed folding", said Chief Zhang Wenxuan in the south of Liugong Island, South Tsui fill a battery ...... in Liugong Island on the top of the mountain to build a long about 10 miles of retaining wall, South Tsui build a wall of earth, Huangdao and fill a ground trap gun, the so-called "South Tsui battery The so-called "Nanzui Fortress" appeared for the first time. After the outbreak of the June 23 Fung Island sea battle in the lunar calendar, Zhang Wenxuan in October 8 presented Li Hongzhang, said the high field battalion battery in July the big work has been completed, the big top sub-battery rushed to build the foundation. So far, the pre-war Chinese data, on the island of Liu Gong Island, there are public after the island, Ridao, Huangdao, Nanzui, Gaochang Ying, Daitengzi and other six batteries on record.
After the fall of the base of Liugong Island, the historical discourse turned to the hands of the Japanese occupation forces. 1895 February 17, the Japanese fleet into the harbor, the 21st, the Japanese army land surveying department of the people on the island, along the line of Huangdao, Gongsho Hou, Flag Dingshan, from west to east, photographed the results of their battles, focusing on the Iron Wharf east and west of the building and the ships in the harbor, Huangdao Battery, Signal Station, Light Station, and so on.
Accordingly, after the war, the Japanese army staff headquarters edited and published "Meiji 278 years of Japanese and Qing war history", the book chapter 34 to "Weihaiwei military harbor battery armament and laid mines (Meiji 28 January mid)" as the title, in the form of a table registered all the Liugongdao battery.
There is something strange between the old picture and the new picture of the fortresses
Compared with today, the registration of the Japanese army about the group of fortresses on Liugongdao has a number of strange points, which is intriguing.
On March 5, 2011, starting from Huangdao, the reporter followed the ridge to the east to visit Liugong Island. At noon, arrived at the so-called Flagstaff Hill Fortress, looking east, the two hills north-south distribution, roughly the same height. Comparison of its positional relationship and height, it is the Japanese Army Land Survey Department photographed "Weihaiwei Harbor, Liugong Island signal station and electric light station.
From the flag top of the mountain to the east about 200 meters is a flat hill, on which there is a three-story hexagonal pointed red glazed tile pavilion, which is the Liugongdao Forest Park Observation Deck, when it was the Liugongdao base of the signal station. About 100 meters to the northeast, there is a rocky hill, which was the Liugong Island Electric Light Station, also known as the searchlight station, used to monitor the narrow northern mouth of Weihai Bay. Looking at old photos, the two hills where the signal station and the electric light station are located seem to be side by side from north to south, in a straight line, but in fact they are staggered from east to west.
Looking southeast from the Electric Light Station, the line of sight crosses over the pine forest to a small hill on the right, with Dahong Island in the sea in the distance. This layout is consistent with the February 21, 1895, the Japanese Army Land Survey Department of the "Weihai Harbor, Liugong Island, Electric Light Station of the southeast of the southeast of the heights of the southeast tip of the battery of photographs". A small note in the old photo reads: "On the right side, above the rise, there is a Gram-type Nine-Shanks gun, under which there are houses and barracks." That gun is located in a semi-subterranean turret at the top of the hill, the mouth of the gun is facing the northern mouth of Weihai Bay, today this hill has a national key cultural relics protection unit --- Yingmendong Fortress.
But with today's "Yingmen Cave Fortress" round sunken gun position is different, the old photo of the gun position is a straight vertical wall sunken, taking into account the later British lease of 1898 to 1904, out of the strategic need to contain Russia, the British colonial authorities on the island of Liugong Island as a military fortress of the Far East of the initial positioning, the shape of the fortress! It is not difficult to understand the change in the shape of the battery, but the principle of the configuration of a gun is the same.
"Japanese and Qing War History" appendix did not record "Yingmen Dong Battery", the Japanese army "Land Survey Department" did not take a special photo of it. This omission is not the same as the seriousness of their shooting Weihaiwei North and South Gang Fortress. Shooting the North and South Gang Battery, even in the back road of Weihaiwei Jiufeng Ding Battery, no fighting, the Japanese army also took a picture.
A greater oddity appeared in today's Liugong Island, one of the landmarks of the "Flagstaff Hill Battery". At this location, the Land Survey Department took the photo of the "Signal Station and Electric Light Station on Liugong Island in Weihaiwei Harbor," but did not take a photo of the battery on the hill. This omission does not seem to be in the Japanese style, as it is recorded in the present-day writings after 1949 that this place was equipped with four 240-mm large-caliber cannons.
The sea at the Iron Pier is much quieter
In addition to the fort, the Iron Pier and the surrounding naval offices, Ding Ruchang's apartment was also a key target for the Land Survey Department. At that time there was no wide-angle lens, they were from the Naval Office to the west until the Iron Pier, three consecutive shots, recorded on the 21st day of the Japanese fleet berthing the Iron Pier harbor, which reveals a wealth of information.
The old photo "Weihaiwei Port LiuGongDao city street and with the port of the ships in the collection of map (its four)", the picture right between the two tilted masts is the Beiyang Navy LiuGongDao base Iron Wharf south tip, then there is a short "T" shaped drawbridge. Two tilted masts in the sea is in the early morning of February 6, the Japanese torpedo fleet second entrance sneak attack operation, was torpedoed and sunk by the Beiyang Navy practice ship "Weiyuan".
Near the surface of the sea in the middle of the ship is slightly larger, higher dry side is the Beiyang Navy three mosquito ship. Among them, two masts, single chimney two, another mastless, should be "Zhenzhong" or "Zhenbian". 3 mosquito gunboats near the iron pier side is two lower dry side torpedo boats, mosquito boat on the other side of the Japanese torpedo boats are four. Torpedo boat is the entire Sino-Japanese War during the Japanese fleet to win the victory of the decisive equipment, in the island of Liugong, it is they hit Dingyuan, sunk Laiyuan, Bao valve, Weiyuan. Ironically, they were so close to Weiyuan.
Following the extension line of the iron pier to the south, between the two high dry-side transport ships, it was the remnants of the Beiyang three main ship (the other two are JiYuan, PingYuan), one of the "GuangBing". 4 torpedo boats directly south, there is a double mast, single chimney, a small warship, obviously smaller than the "". The "Hiro B" is one of the four Akagi class gunboats of the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Shore complex west, there are front and back of the two collar ridge outstanding, higher than other houses, darker color, this is now Ding Ruchang's apartment. The island's lush pine forest blocking the photography boundary, the reporter only found an angle to the southern end of the iron pier as a reference to shoot the current scene, the shooting location than the old photo to the west, Ding Ruchang apartment was blocked in the new scene to the east of the photography boundary. Comparing the old and the new, I can't find any of the same roofs, the traditional Chinese small green tile roofs of the Beiyang Navy period have disappeared, becoming high chimneys and large spans of ridge houses.
