It is not yet certain whether Jiangxin Island is commonly known as Yamu Island by Fuzhou people
1 Chen Jinggu is a woman generally respected by people in Fujian. Her honorific titles are Mrs. Linshui Chen and Qingtian. The Holy Mother, etc. are commonly called mother's milk and Linshui milk. It is said that in the second year of Dali of Tang Dynasty (762), Chen Jinggu, whose ancestral home was Cangshan, Fuzhou, married Liu Qi, a native of Gutian. According to legend, Jinggu once went to Lushan Mountain to study Dharma. Throughout her life, she "taught scriptures and practiced Dharma, subdued demons, and helped people in need." She was especially famous for "rescuing babies and protecting fetuses." When she was 24 years old, she prayed for rain and drought, and worked for the people. He died at the Linshui Bridge in Gutian County to eliminate the harm. After his death, he was revered by people and became the "protector of women and children".
Chen Jinggu has been yearning for Taoism since she was a child and wants to study the Dharma. It is said that under the water at Longtanjiao is the Lushan Court, and the master of the law, Xu Zhenjun, is Chen Jinggu’s master. She went to Lu Mountain to learn magic and obtained ten heavenly books, and then came down from the mountain. During the short eight years between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four, she eliminated monsters and monsters in the local area, especially protected women and children, and did many things that were beneficial to the people. Good thing. The legend of Chen Jinggu is highlighted in her sacrifice of her life to pray for rain. Three years after the Five Dynasties, when Tiancheng was twenty-four years old, there was a long drought in Fuzhou, the countryside was torn apart, and the people were miserable. Chen Jinggu, who was pregnant at this time, regardless of her personal safety, was reborn at home. Holding a sword and a horn, she went to Longtanjiao (in the middle of the river between today's Cangqian Road and Jiangxin Park) to stand on a straw mat to pray for rain. The trap ghost was causing trouble, and suddenly there was a sudden storm. At the critical moment, his master sent four fairies, who transformed into four Yamu, held the straw mat in their mouths, and floated along the river to Yamu Island. This is where the place name Yamuzhouzhou in Taijiang comes from. However, Chen Jinggu was born prematurely and was weak, so she sacrificed her young life for the people. The poem "Yamuzhou" written by Wei Jie, a poet during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, tells this folk legend
Green ducks gather together on the beach, and crab houses in fishing villages have endless fun.

Diagnosis and treatment of "difficult diseases" in the park series planning 5＞＞＞
"Take a boat from the pier and set foot on it in a few minutes. Went to Jiangxin Park. There was soft yellow sand under my feet and the river was full of water. I happily jumped into the arms of the river... At that time, there were many people swimming in the river. Those who had a shallow path were playing in the water, and those who were in a deep path were wading in the river. Everyone had their own fun. "
Fuzhou citizen Wang Xi wrote this when recalling the scene that year.
In March 1997, Jiangxin Park became the construction site of the Sanxianzhou Bridge, and the park gate has been closed to the outside world since then.
This level is 9 years.
In February 2006, the public voice regarding the reopening of Jiangxin Park and the relevant proposals and bills of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference finally attracted the attention of the Cangshan District Government.
The relevant person in charge of the Cangshan District Government said in an interview with reporters a few days ago that the government is working hard to solve the problems left over from history and strive to open Jiangxin Park as soon as possible.
The glorious past
The best natural swimming spot
(Picture) The suspension bridge in Jiangxin Park, which used to be crowded with people, is now rusty and has become a wild place. A dog's entertainment paradise.
According to records from the Fuzhou Municipal Garden Bureau, the Jiangxin Park located on the Minjiang River in Fuzhou City was originally called "Sanxianzhou". Diaolong Terrace faces each other in the distance, and is adjacent to Cangshan Longtan Corner across the bank to the south.
According to legend, in May of the 21st year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1485), floods occurred. Most of the countryside along the river was washed away, but a mud bank was alluvialized here. Farmers from Min'an, Houguan and Huai'an counties rushed to the island to plant poles and encircle the land, which led to armed fighting. The magistrates of the three counties had their own opinions. Later, the Fuzhou Prefecture ruled that the three counties owned the land and named it "Three Counties Island".
In 1975, Sanxianzhou was turned into a Jiangxin Park by relevant government departments.
“At that time, the park was lush and green, with more than 50,000 trees and flowers and fruits including banyan, metasequoia, willow, silver birch, water hibiscus, mango, lychee, tangerine, and tangerine. It was the best in Fuzhou. The natural swimming spots are always overcrowded in summer," a person in charge of the Fuzhou Garden Bureau told reporters on condition of anonymity.
In 1982, with the efforts of relevant departments, Jiangxin Park built garden facilities such as Linjiang Pavilion, Mushroom Pavilion, and Diaoyutai as well as children's recreational facilities.
“However, due to restrictions at that time, Fuzhou residents had to take ferries to visit the island, which was quite inconvenient. Especially in summer, many people who were too lazy to take ferries would go directly into the river at the pier and swim to the park. Therefore, accidents occur every year,” said the person in charge.
In order to improve the playing environment, the Cangshan District Government decided to build the Shangdao Bridge at Longtanjiao, Cangshan District.
On November 19, 1991, the construction of the Jiangxin Park Suspension Bridge, designed by the Road and Bridge Teaching and Research Office of Fuzhou University and constructed by the Fujian Second Highway Engineering Company, started. On September 30 of the following year, the suspension bridge was completed and opened to traffic.
In 1995, Jiangxin Park began to become famous throughout the country.
"On the Lantern Festival that year, the Spring Festival Lantern Festival Gala jointly organized by CCTV and the Fuzhou Municipal Government was held in Jiangxin Park. With the radio waves, the beautiful scenery of Jiangxin Park began to be known to outsiders." The person in charge said .
It is said that since then, Jiangxin Park has become a must-see for foreign tourists.
In the process of development
The stockyard closed its doors to thank visitors

Jiangxin Park has become famous, and tourists come here in droves. But unfortunately, its reputation could not continue to spread, but it came to an abrupt end in 1997.
An insider in the gardening department told reporters that in 1995, in order to promote the development of tourism and enhance the overall image of the provincial capital city, the relevant departments of Fuzhou City determined a "Zhongzhou Park, Jiangxin Park and Cangxia Sky Park". The development plan is to build the park into a 'Golden Triangle', with the beach along the river and the green belt of the Baima River as the green corridor, and Damiao Mountain and Nanchan Mountain as the climbing points.
“However, the development of Jiangxin Park required a huge amount of funds, which the Cangshan District government was unable to do at the time. Therefore, the relevant departments signed a development contract with Zhang Lixing, an overseas Chinese in the UK, in 1995. It is responsible for investing in and developing Jiangxin Park within the next 20 years and building it into a tourist attraction with karaoke dance halls, restaurants, resorts, swimming pools, water recreation, aquariums and supporting tourism product retail,” said a person familiar with the matter.
It is said that Zhang Lixing ran Fuzhou Walter Winery Co., Ltd., Minqing Taishan Holiday Hotel, Minqing Refractory Building Materials Factory, etc. in Fuzhou. He was the vice chairman of the Fuzhou Overseas Chinese Federation and the Minqing County CPPCC National Committee at the time. Standing Committee.
However, unexpected events occurred, and this far-reaching development contract brought bitter consequences to Jiangxin Park.
An insider close to Zhang Lixing told reporters privately that Zhang not only signed a development contract for Jiangxin Park with relevant departments, but also signed a development contract for Zhongzhou Island.
“Zhang Lixing’s idea at that time was to invest 200 million yuan to develop Zhongzhou Island and build it into a replica of the traditional European architectural style that integrates tourism, shopping, food, entertainment, leisure, etc. A pedestrian shopping island, and will continue to develop Jiangxin Park after the funds are withdrawn.”
Just when the developers were putting all their energy into Zhongzhou Island, another thing happened.
In March 1997, the construction of the Sanxianzhou Bridge connecting the North-South Channel in Fuzhou began. The bridge spans Jiangxin Park, and one of the bridge piers is built on the park. "At that time, the project was huge and there were a lot of construction materials, so it was difficult to find an ideal stockyard. Therefore, the Jiangxin Park connecting the north and the south was requisitioned by the project team for worker residences and stockyards."
Jiang Heart Park is closed.
On May 2, 1999, the Sanxianzhou Bridge was officially opened to traffic after more than 2 years of construction. However, Jiangxin Park has not reopened.
Informed sources said that after more than two years of bridge construction, Jiangxin Park is in a mess, and a large amount of money will be invested to restore it to the public. "At that time, the Cangshan District government had no budget for this and could only wait for the developer's funds to be available."
But contrary to expectations, Zhang Lixing, who invested in Zhongzhou Island, did not receive any benefits from the project. "In the Spring Festival of 2003, after the construction of Zhongzhou Island was completed and opened to the outside world, it was criticized verbally and written by almost all media at that time. Until now, Zhongzhou Island has not shown any signs of life."
"The failure of investment has made the developer basically Unable to continue developing the Jiangxin Park, and the extensive damage caused by the construction of the Sanxianzhou Bridge, the developer found an excuse to refuse investment, and the Jiangxin Park has since closed its doors to visitors," said a person familiar with the matter.
Reopening the park
Encountered two obstacles in terms of contract funding
(Picture) An announcement was posted on the suspension bridge saying: Jiangxin Island has not yet been opened to the public, and no one can enter the park without approval. , Vessels are not allowed to dock on the island.
Relevant people in Cangshan District said in an interview with reporters that the call for reopening Jiangxin Park has never stopped, and the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have relevant proposals and bills every year. "To this end, the district has studied and decided to reintroduce developers to upgrade the park. However, because the introduced projects have yet to be further implemented, the reopening of the park has also been delayed."
It was revealed that in 2004 In August, the Cangshan District Garden Bureau decided to open the park first and then launch the project, and invested 50,000 yuan in early stage to dredge and replant turf and trees.
But then, when the District Garden Bureau inspected Jiangxin Park, it was discovered that the suspension bridge entering the park was severely rusted due to the long-term closure of the park, and the bridge piers on the edge of the Jiangxin Island were also displaced.
It is said that according to requirements, suspension bridges must be repaired every six years. Suspension bridges that have not been repaired for more than ten years pose serious safety risks.
Due to safety issues, the opening date of Jiangxin Park has been postponed.
In early September 2004, the Cangshan District Garden Bureau sent a special person to the School of Civil Engineering of Fuzhou University to ask Peng Dawen, the designer of the suspension bridge, to formulate a plan to repair the bridge. At the same time, the bureau also summoned bridge experts from the Provincial Transportation Planning and Design Institute, Fuzhou University and other units to evaluate the bridge. "The conclusion is that although the suspension bridge has not been repaired for many years, it is not a dangerous bridge and can still be used after repair."
After preliminary budget, the cost of restoring the suspension bridge to normal use is more than 3 million yuan. If the park is added, For the repair and greening of internal facilities and the construction of revetments, the funding gap is more than 5 million yuan. “The district does not have the budget for this, so the park opening plan fell through,” said a person familiar with the matter.
However, the relevant person in charge of Cangshan District recently told reporters that to reopen Jiangxin Park, the previously signed development contract must first be terminated. “The district is currently handling the matter and is raising funds from various sources to strive for Open the park as soon as possible.”
Relevant leaders of the Fuzhou Municipal Garden Bureau also stated that if Jiangxin Park is reopened, the Municipal Bureau will provide “park design, adjustment and financial support.” “But it all depends. Yu Cangshan District Government’s attitude and determination.”
The government’s attitude is very clear, but developers are extremely difficult to contact. Relevant parties in the government have contacted many parties, but to no avail. The reporter tried to call the developer's mobile phone and found that the number had been turned off. People from many of its companies also said they had not seen their boss for a long time.
"If the developer continues to avoid it, the district will take legal measures to solve the problem." The relevant person in charge of Cangshan District said.
