The first pass of the Great Wall of Hebei, Nanhai Pass, and the first enemy station are built in the Stone City Jinglutai Later, a 10 meter high Chenghai Tower at that time Military leader famed for combat against Japanese pirate invaders It is to prevent the enemy soldiers from sneaking in from the seaside when the tide is ebbing or in the winter dry season, and mobilize the local soldiers to build this stone city on the sea.
The foundation of this stone city on the sea is very solid. It has been scoured by sea water for hundreds of years without being destroyed. It is said that when it was first established, many iron pans were buckled on the seabed to reduce the impact of sea water on the Stone City. This unique architectural method has been recorded in the architectural history.
From the early Ming Dynasty Hong Wu During the 200 years from to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the old dragon head has been continuously built and gradually improved. Until the Qing Dynasty, the inside and outside of the Great Wall became unified. Since then, the old dragon head has lost its role in military defense, and has become an excellent place for emperors, generals, ministers, and literati to see the sea. In particular, the Emperor of Qing Dynasty, who claimed to be the incarnation of "dragon", endowed the supreme meaning of watching the sea where "dragon" lives in the old dragon head. Five emperors, including Kangxi and Qianlong, visited Laolongtou many times and left a lot of poems and calligraphy. Unfortunately, in 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance When invading Shanhaiguan, the old dragon head was the first to bear the brunt, and the city was destroyed.
In 1984, Comrade Deng Xiaoping issued a call to "love China and build the Great Wall", and the people of Shanhaiguan rebuilt the Stone City into the Sea, Chenghai Tower, Jinglu No.1 Enemy Platform, Nanhaikou Pass, Ninghai City and other buildings, making the old dragon head reappear its majestic appearance.
The most famous building in Laolongtou is the Chenghai Tower, which is known as "the Great Wall connects the sea to the sky, and people fly to the top of a hundred feet". Chenghai Tower is 14.5 meters high, 15.68 meters wide and 12 meters deep. The building is divided into two floors, Brick timber structure Xieshan Double eaves tile roof. There is a plaque on the upstairs: "Xiongjin Wanli" refers to the Ming Dynasty Bachelor Sun Chengzong The other plaque, "Ambiguous vitality", and a couplet, "Sunlight starts from the very beginning, and the sky and sea are clear", were written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The walls on both sides of Chenghai Tower are also inlaid with many stone tablets engraved with poems recited by several emperors and many scholars when they climbed the tower.
The old dragon head not only extends into the sea to build very ingenious military facilities, but also extends thousands of miles the Great Wall It is the only place in China that is also the best place for many landscapes, such as mountains, sea and color.
The Chenghai Tower, the old dragon head, leans down to look at the "Stone City into the Sea", swallowing waves and stirring up flying waves like snow; Overlooking from afar, the sea and the sky are the same color, the huge waves are surging, and the sea is swallowed up, which makes people's hearts open and full of pride. What's more strange is that sometimes the wind blows and thunder roars on the sea, the muddy waves are empty, the wind blows on the shore, the trees shake and the grass fall, while the people who climb the Chenghai Tower to watch the sea are silent. This is the famous "Sea Pavilion with Quiet Wind".
It is said that climbing the stairs at night is also possible to enjoy the wonders of the "sea pearl". At night, when the wind is calm, the sea facing Chenghai Tower will suddenly be full of stars and light, as if there was a twinkling Light market , colorful and intoxicating.
It is said that this is because the sea around Laolongtou is rich in large mussels, and many pearls exposed in the belly when opening their mouths, forming this rare spectacle.
There is an ancient monument in front of Chenghai Tower. It is 2.65 meters high and 0.7 meters wide. There are only four striking characters on it: "Tiankai Haiyue". The font is simple, powerful and gloomy. These four words vividly depict the momentum of the Laolongtou area, which is vast and towering.
It is said that this is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty Xue Rengui The Eastern Expedition that year Korea Standing at the moment. In 1900, when the Eight Power Allied Forces invaded Shanhaiguan, Chenghailou was destroyed by a torch“ Tiankai Haiyue Stele ”Before long, the stone tablet was knocked down by the British army when digging the ammunition depot.
In 1927, General Zhang Xueliang went to the Old Dragon's Head Bathing Beach to swim. Only when he found this stone tablet did he order people to set it up again.
"The Great Wall crosses the dragon head for thousands of miles, and goes upstairs with Gauguin." The old dragon head, the essence of the Great Wall, together with the sea that keeps turning, leads people into the long river of history and feels the vicissitudes of life. [3]

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1398) jurchen and Mongolian With the plundering and harassment of the border, General Xu Da was ordered to build the Great Wall, and the old dragon head came into being. In 1565, Sun Yingyuan, the leader, built Jinglu No.1 enemy tower, and in 1579, Qi Jiguang, the national hero, built the Stone City into the Sea. This high wall in the sea connects Jinglu No.1 enemy tower in the north, which forms the commanding height of blocking the sea, and the south is filled with vast waves, forming a magnificent and steep castle on the sea. The building structure of the Stone City into the Sea is unique, all of which are built with huge granite strips and stones. There are special-shaped stones at the ends, which generally weigh 2 to 3 tons. There are many legends about the Stone City of Entering the Sea. Kangxi wrote in the preface of Chenghai Tower: "The castle is closed and stands at the margin of the sea. The root of the city is all based on iron cauldrons, which can be clearly seen when the people below it are covered with cauldrons.
I don't know how many tens of millions of them are, but the iron urn in Jingkou is empty. " It can be seen from this that the foundation of Haizhong City should be built with many iron pots and bricks. But now there is no trace to follow where the iron pot is going. Based on field observation, this argument is not well grounded and only adds some magical colors.
However, the chisels left by the Stone City into the sea Horseshoe V-groove grouting Manchurian Railway The water bar stone and the special-shaped stone chiseled with a round hole with a diameter of 12 cm, which shows the exquisite and superb underwater construction technology of the ancient working people of our country. Later, Nanhaikou Pass, Chenghai Tower and Ninghai City were successively set up, making the old dragon head, an important defensive place, a good place to watch the sea. Zhang Shixian of the Ming Dynasty praised in a poem: "The tide embraces the high wall and floats mirage The sword can't stop flashing dragon words ". The demise of the Ming Dynasty, The Qing army entered the pass And established the Qing Dynasty, which was unified inside and outside the Shanhaiguan Pass. At this time, the role of the old dragon head in military defense was weakened, but it was still Manchu The ruler goes Shengjing (Today Shenyang )It is the only way to worship ancestors. In the ninth year of Kangxi's reign (1670), Chenghai Tower was rebuilt. In the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, etc. had "entered Yuguan to climb the sea tower and watch the sea". Emperor Qianlong alone had seen the sea from the tower four times, and left imperial calligraphy to praise the magnificent scenery of the old dragon head.

However, by the middle of the 19th century, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Manchu government, the imperialist powers were eyeing China's vast territory and rich resources, trying to open the door of China with guns, and the old dragon head was once the invasion of China by the imperialist powers bridgehead From the 20th year of Daoguang's reign (1840) to the 7th year of Tongzhi's reign (1870), warships from Britain, France and other countries broke into the sea of Laolongtou many times to spy.

In 1901, according to the《 Boxer Protocol 》, Shanhaiguan City south to Bohai Sea coast 9 Square kilometers As the territory occupied by the invaders, they established six camps for long-term occupation. The old dragon head was also the first to be looted by gunfire, and the "Tiankai Haiyue" monument in Jingcun was also inclined to fall. The British Yingpan occupied the whole of Ninghai City, and later merged the former German Yingpan and Indian Yingpan, becoming the largest Yingpan. The Japanese camp was built at the "Four Fort" about 3 kilometers north of the old dragon head. It was built in 1902 and stationed until September 1945 Japan surrenders It is the longest foreign camp occupied.
Among them, the September 18th Incident and Yuguan Anti Japanese War Later, Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and the Japanese camp also became a magic den to imprison anti Japanese heroes and mutilate the masses.

It took eight years to finally make the treasure of the old dragon head shine again and the Great Wall reappear its glory.
legend
According to legend, at the foot of the old dragon head in the past, one by one, with countless iron pans. The old dragon head was built by Qi Jiguang, the commander of Jizhen Town. It's seven feet into the sea. It's really hard to build.
Fifteen thousand military workers can only rush to repair it once the sea water ebbs. However, the sea is merciless. The tide rises every three days, and falls every five days. The city wall cannot be built eight feet high. When the tide rushes, the bricks and stones fall in pieces. Once they are repaired, they collapse once. I don't know how many days they have been repaired, but only countless lives are buried at the bottom of the sea. Lord Qi is helpless.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were fewer loyal and good officials and more treacherous officials, Wanli The emperor is a complete fatuous monarch. The traitor party talks nonsense about Qi Jiguang's 32 passes, setting up 3000 enemy units and casting 5000 jin iron cannons is a waste of money and labor.
The emperor listened to the slander of the traitors and sent eunuchs to supervise the army in Jizhen. When the eunuch came to Jizhou, he learned that Qi Jiguang was building an "old dragon head" on the south sea of Shanhaiguan, and immediately went straight to Shanhaiguan without stopping. The old Xiangkun of the whole city paid a visit to the imperial envoy and said: "The enemy soldiers often cross the border from the sea, and the old dragon head must not give up halfway." The imperial envoy said: "The imperial edict has a deadline of three days, and no one can change it." Qi Jiguang was angry. Knowing that the deadline of three days is false, he wanted to make an excuse to convict him. It doesn't matter to me, but the 1300 enemy units have nothing to worry about.
Think about the security of the country, people's lives and property Lord Qi is depressed. Suddenly, an old man came into the room when the curtain of the door was lifted. The old fisherman is a leader who follows Lord Qi. I saw the old man put the Shu rice Salted hairtail Put it on Square table He said, "Don't worry, adults. I will report back after dinner. Maybe it will be useful for repairing the old dragon head." The next day, he ordered the whole army to cook on the beach where the tide has receded.
There was smoke and fire all over Qili Beach. After a meal, a huge wave suddenly surged up to the shore. When the soldiers saw it, they threw away their pots and bowls and fled without a trace. After three days and three nights, the spring tide was over and the sea was calm again.
When Lord Qi looked at the city base, he was surprised that he still stood there. At this time, the old man came over and pointed to the round things on the beach around him, showing Lord Qi that it was an iron pot buckled on the beach. The old man said, "The pot is buckled on the beach, and the wind and waves can't move it!"
