The ancient Yuji Park has been reborn! This is a saying of Shuyang people, which shows that this park has a history since childhood. In the early years of the Republic of China, folk customs were slightly open, and people had the desire to establish public entertainment places. 1929, Dong Shenghan, the county magistrate of Shuyang, presided over the proposal to build the garden. The first is the choice of location: a place in the north of Shuyang, with low terrain in the north, where reeds, water bamboo and the like grow; There are several ancestral temples in the south and west, such as Cheng, Zhou, Bao and Lu. The land here is empty, with several ancestral halls and two ancient buildings such as Xiao Jie Square as decorations, which are regarded as the preferred address of the park.
After liberation, under the leadership of Shuyang County People's Government, the construction of Yuji Park increased one after another. Plant trees, transform lotus ponds and build greenhouses. In particular, in 1986, when Liu was the secretary of Shuyang County Committee and Zheng was the county magistrate, he mobilized migrant workers from several townships to excavate the artificial lake of Yuji Park and build a lake embankment, which more than doubled the park area. Moreover, a large number of facilities, trees and flowers have been added, making the park a modern amusement place.
Yu Ji, Xiang Yu's wife, is a famous beauty in history. However, Shuyang is the hometown of Yuji, but few people know this place. Shuyang is a county located in the north of Jiangsu, and is known as the flower town.
