Changes of cypress place names

At the "War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Shanghai Academic Seminar and the Launching Ceremony of Shanghai War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression History Series", I met Shi Zizheng, who was not a representative of the conference, among a group of scholars and experts. He used to be a mechanical engineer, but he knows a lot about history, especially the historical evolution of the place name "Big Cypress" in Shanghai. The host made an exception and let him speak for five minutes. However, people were attracted by his impassioned and indignant tone and manner in the last five minutes. He stood up, holding a "Huo" in his hand and waving a book ... which was given to me by a peace-loving Japanese friend. It can be seen that the Daba Temple in Shanghai was named in memory of a Japanese major general. I also have a lot of evidence to prove the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese aggressor troops in Shanghai! "After listening to his words, I immediately had the impulse to interview, so the next afternoon, I climbed the secretly narrow wooden stairs in Shi Jia.

▼ He has to shoulder the responsibility of using a piece of cloth to return historical innocence.

The first thing I want to read is the book I gave him that day. This book is called "Atlas of Historical Tour Guides in Shanghai" (see the title map), which was published by Japan Overhaul Museum Bookstore in June, 1999. The book has 2 14 pages and contains 32 maps, descriptions, schedules and indexes. I asked Shi Zi how he got this book, and he told me the story of meeting a Japanese in Hongkou Library.

The original stone is a frequent visitor to the library. Graduated from Shanghai University of Science and Technology in 1950s, and has been a mechanical engineer in an automobile tool factory. But since the 1980s, he became interested in history, so in his spare time of 14 years, he finished reading the Old Shanghai Declaration from 1903 to 1942 in the library, and became the prestigious Guan Jiong (Zhao Puchu) in China.

As soon as he entered the library that day, he heard someone calling: "Teacher Shi is coming, ask Teacher Shi!" " "It turned out that a Japanese was asking," Where is Fumin Hospital? Hearing this, Shizi blurted out, "Now it is the Fourth People's Hospital." The Japanese looked at the atlas in their hands and nodded frequently.

Shizi was looking around and found that the atlas in his hand was very good. It not only accurately marked the geographical location, but also marked the names of roads and units in different periods with different colors. For example, Changle Road used to be called Pushi Road, Huaihai Cinema used to be the Paris Grand Theatre, and now the Second Institute of Education used to be the seventh national school in Japan ... Shi Zizheng is in this beautifully printed atlas. Suddenly, I found that an ordinary junior high school near my home and a small cloth shop that I usually don't pay much attention to were clearly marked. From the perspective of a historical researcher, he sensitively looked at the value of this atlas and asked the translator, "What is the price?" The translator said it would cost two or three hundred yuan. Shizizheng asked again, "Is it RMB or Japanese yen?" At this time, the Japanese who had been looking through the atlas spoke: "No, no, I'll send you a copy when I go back." Shizizheng wants this book very much, but he doesn't have much hope, even though he is far from Qianshan. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for an email from Japan to reach him. The Japanese really kept their promise and sent this atlas of Shanghai's historical tour guides.

Stone is fondle admiringly. When he was reading the page of Wujiaochang on map 16, he suddenly saw the words "Daba", "Daba Temple" and "Dabai", which are red, green and black (black is the current place name, red is the old name during the Japanese occupation in the 1930s and green is the name before liberation). However, some people still wrote that "the Eight Great Temples are a general name with no traces of Japanese aggression against China", and then compared with this atlas in front of him, he felt very uncomfortable: the place names have been clearly marked in my book for several days, why do some compatriots deny historical facts? Isn't this something for people?

The stone is sitting still. He wants to become a citizen of China and take the responsibility of historical innocence.

▼ After hardships and no regrets, I finally sought the justice and innocence of history.

In Shi Jia's cramped residence, on that unique table, Shi Zi was turning to me one by one the maps he had collected about the names of the "Eight Great Temples". In the face of these informative materials, he knows everything.

He skillfully turned to page 12 1 of the Atlas of Historical Tour Guides in Shanghai, only to find that there was an entry of "Dabaji/Dabaishu" on it, saying that during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese army set up an "interrogation station" here, set up checkpoints to block traffic, and hung up the sign of "Dabaji". This place was named after Lin Dam, the joint commander of the ninth division who died in the first Shanghai Incident. Since then, the Japanese character "Chi" has been read as "Temple" by residents and gradually replaced by the word "Temple". After Japan's defeat, people used to call this place "Big Eight Temples" or "Big Eight Characters". 1988 was renamed "big cypress" by the government. Shi Zi is saying angrily, "I admit that I invaded Shanghai for several days, but some people want to say that the Eight Great Temples are authentic place names in China! This is outrageous! "

He told me that there was no place name like "Dabaji" or "Dabazi" on the map of China before 1937. At present, there is only one natural village called "Xue Jiadang" in the position of "Dabaishu".

As he spoke, he dug up a Japanese war map marked "Military Secret" drawn by the Second Field Investigation Team of Japan in 13 (i.e. 1938). When it was unfolded, the teachers who were over sixty couldn't help jumping up: "Look, this is the' Big Eight'.

Shi Zizheng made it clear that the "Eighth National Congress" or "Eighth National Congress" is now a big cypress tree, which really spends all the time of others drinking coffee on hard verification. Looking at Shi Zizheng with white hair, I have no doubt that his true feelings are revealed at this moment.

In order to find out that the name "Da Ba Ji" is the criminal evidence left by the Japanese invasion of China, he visited many old local residents. When some old people heard this, they all said with tears in their eyes: "There was no road name here before, and the' Daba Temple' was opened only after the Japanese came. We will never forget the crimes committed by the Japanese here! "

The teacher was diving into the archives again and found the reference suggestion submitted by Xue Yongkang, the son of 1948 local inspector, to the municipal government: In order to request the abolition of Jiangwan Japanese-style place name bus, it is suggested to name Dabai Temple another time. The "Military Secret" map is the harvest of his fourth visit to the Municipal Institute of Surveying and Mapping. At the same time, in order to make his research more convincing, he also studied the road names named after other Japanese during the Japanese puppet regime.

Thanks to Shi Zizheng's efforts, the ins and outs of the "Eight Great Temples" were filtered through a sieve and presented clearly and truly to people. History is finally clearly presented to the world.
