Longsha Park Travels was written in the 6th year of the Republic of China (1917), by Secretary of Police Department Gao Zhanxiang after the Heilongjiang Provincial Police Department Director Yang Yunfeng (courtesy name: Jigao) at that time completing the expansion and alteration of Cangxi Park under order. This travels was first collected by Longjiang Information, and was then collected by Annals of Longjiang County, and it's collected into Chorography Documents of Qiqihar City by Qiqihar City Chorography Office. The travels narrated from the construction of the park, the transformations of the park during various periods and dwelled on the situation after expansion. It's really a evolutionary history of the park.

The travels wrote, this park was built by Zhao Chaoyong (courtesy name: Beiqiang) during Guangxu Emperor Period in 1907). That's to say in Guangxu Dingwei Year (that is the 33rd year of Guangxu Emperor's reign)(1907), Zhao Chaoyong (with the courtesy name of Beiqiang and the sobriquet of Baixiang and Banyuan, who was holding a post in Heilongjiang Martial's Yamun), was ordered by Martial Cheng Dequan (courtesy name: Chun Ru; sobriquet: Snow Building; who was appointed as Assistant Military Governor of Qiqihar in the 30th year of Guangxu in 1904 and was appointed as Martial of Heilongjiang the next year) to plan and build on the site of the former grains granary. The park is located in the west part of the city, therefore it's called Cangxci Park (Granary West Park). Zhang Chaoyong once wrote 8 poems collected in “Random Thoughts on Cangxi Park) in the 18 th year of the Republic of China (1929) to recall the past 22 years ago (the poems were collected by Yisi Collections. Someone considered that the park was built in the 30th year of Guangxu according to the sentence Cheng Dequan was transferred to govern Heilongjiang from Yunyang, he is very talented and capable and he has contributed a lot to the development of the area quoted from the Longsha Park Travels written by Hu Rongguang (courtesy name: Dounan). He failed to catch the real meaning of the author, actually Hu Rongguang intended to say that Cheng Dequan had done a lot of good things benefiting the later generations since he was transferred to Qiqihar to govern the city.

The travels also mentioned when Zhou Shumo (courtesy name: Shaopu) was holding the post of governor of Heilongjiang in Qiqihar, who once excavate channels outside the wall of the park to transfer water from the river to increase the water amount of the East Lake Villa (which was built in the 3rd year of Xuantong 〈1911〉) and to create the landscape of villa beside water (the old citizens of Pukui must remember a zigzag channel flows eastward from the River-watching Pavilion, with a small wooden bridge across, which was refilled and the bridge was removed). Because the altitude of river is too low, the water could not go up, so that the behavior was suspended. And the soil was accumulated into a hill, then a pavilion was built on the hill. One could view the clear river and vast land on the pavilion. Zhou Shumo inscribed the stele for the River-watching pavilion. However, it's no called River-watching Pavilion at that time, and what Zhou inscribed was Weiyu Pavilion (the poem Weiyu Pavilion could be served as the proof).

What narrated in the latter segment of the travels were all newly-built landscapes that were built according to the conditions and the topography of the park. Counterpart Seagull Boat was built on a low land, the hut was as narrow as a boat, lightning, cloud, seagull and wild egrets are setting off with each other in the rainy weather in autumn; Choubian Tower, which is located at the southeast of Counterpart Seagull Boat, one could see a desolate view eastward all over from the tower, at that time the country was still in a chaos and one could not help worrying about the fate of the country; Xueku Bridge, piled up by stones, at the north of Choubian Tower; Love Me Hut was at the north of the bridge; further north was Yanwu House, which was a retiring room for police; several northern rooms were painted into dark green, which were named as Fairyland of Forests and Streams; a Musical Instrument Room was built on the west flat hill, equipped with musical instruments inside and various flowers and grasses planting outside, which could entertain the people; Zuiwengju was opposite with Zhenliu Jingshe, which was for rest and intoning; whose north was Kaigexuan, the place for military band rehearsal. In addition, the former pavilions, houses and huts were painted and decorated again, and all their names were inscribed again except the former Weiyu Pavilion, Longsha Wanli Pavilion and Fangwaiyou, etc, and there were also Jiyou Chaorantai, Xiaoqian Shilv, Yinxiang Xianguan and Heaven and Earth Yicao Hut. The name of park was changed into Longsha Park.

For several decades, some landscapes in the park had disappeared with the changing of seasons. Only the names for Weiyu Pavilion, Longsha Wanli Pavilion and Choubian Tower had far-reaching meanings and are still remembered and relished by people. Shortly after Zhang Congzhi's writing of pomes of Weiyu Pavilion and Longsha Wanli Pavilion Pillar Inscription at the beginning of the Republic of China, Zhang Hu Rongguang wrote his poem Choubian Pavilion. The previous wisdoms must write something on their habitats to express their feelings and to caution the offsprings, which should be reverently imitated.

Heilongjiang Martial's Mansion

Heilongjiang was established in the 22nd year of Kangxi's Reign (1683) in Qing Dynasty, which was later than Shengjing (the present Liaoning) and Jilin. Heilongjiang Martial was stationed in Aihun (the present Aihui) at first, then transferred to Morgen (the present Nenjiang) in the 29th year of Kangxi's Reign (1690), and transferred to Qiqihar in the 38th year of Kangxi's Reign (1699). Qiqihar had been the political, military, economic and cultural center and capital city of Heilongjiang Province since the Heilongjiang martial's transfer to Qiqihar until 1954.

The office of Heilongjiang martial was Martial's Yamun after its transfer to Qiqihar, which was also called Martial's Office (the former address was the location of the present Jianhua District Government). In the past, the Martial went to his mansion every five days and normally the routine applications had to be submitted to the Martial's private residence for approval, which was called Call-in. The private residence of the Martial was called Martial's Mansion, which was located at the northwest of the Martial's Yamun and its former address was at the west of the north section of Pukui Street. It's said to be built in the 34th year of Kangxi's Reign (1695), which was probably built based on sombody's residence after the establishment of Qiqihar City and was repeatedly repaired and renovated afterwards. The Unofficial History of Heilongjiang that was completed in the 15th year of Jiaqing's Reign (1810) had two descriptions about Martial's Mansion, one described there are 3 sanctums and rockery in the mansion. The Martial planted several peony plants in the yard while there was a stele inscribed as Peony Hall. There was a plum plant before that hall. The Martial once wrote a poem about watching moon and flowers in the yard in autumn. The other described somebody caught two cranes to present to a Martial (refer to Martial Binjing), then the cranes were fed and taken care in the yard. The cranes had slim necks and long legs that favored water and rain, and they were playing happily in the yard after rain; their red crowns were grown out gradually, and then the people finally knew that they were red-crowned cranes that could not be domesticated. We could infer from the above-mentioned descriptions that there were plants, flowers, rockery and garden in the Martial's Mansion and there were red-crowned cranes once being domesticated.

There were totally 70 martials once lived in this mansion from the first Heilongjiang Martial Sabusu to the 26th year of Guangxu's Reign (1900) before Genzi War, and the period covered Kangxi's Reign, Yongzheng's Reign, Qianlong's Reign, Jiaqing's Reign, Daoguang's Reign, Xianfeng's Reign, Tongzhi's Reign and Guangxu's Reign. After Martial Shoushan's death at his post, the Russian troops occupied Qiqihar City, and the Martial's Mansion was inhabited by the Russian General Galsar. Heilongjiang Accident Handling Bureau transferred to the Martial's Mansion after the retreat of Russian troops. Heilongjiang was changed into province in the 33rd year of Guangxu's Reign (1907), a Treasury Official was appointed (to be responsible for the financial affairs of a province), and the office of the Treasury Official was arranged in the Martial's Mansion. The Martial's Mansion was successively the Battalion Department of Constable Battalion and the Army Training Department after institution restructuring over one year later. It's the Branch Audit Department at the beginning of Republic of China. At that time, the east section of the mansion was Branch Audit Department, and the east room of the east section was Newspaper General Bureau, and the west of the mansion was Opium Banning Office. Shortly after, the Finance Clearing Bureau was established in the mansion, which was changed into National Taxation Department Preparation Office later and the mansion was used by Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Finance afterwards. After the September 18 Incident, the Martial's Mansion became Taxation Supervision Office, and it was used successively by Taxation General Bureau, Grain General Bureau and Provincial Financial Bureau after liberation. It's used by Heilongjiang Provincial School of Political Sciences after the combination of Heilongjiang Province and Nenjiang Province. The Martial's Mansion was handed over by the Real Estate Department of Nenjiang Area Commissioner Office in 1958, which was changed into dormitory for cadre family residence and remained unchanged from then on.

Make a comprehensive view of the evolution of Martial's Mansion, we could generally know that the Martial's Mansion was first built in the 34th year of Kangxi's Reign, the scale of the mansion was expanded during Qianlong's Reign, and finally the four-portal gracious pattern was formed. However, the old structure of straw ceiling and couch grass eaves was continued all the time, which was not changed until to the middle period of Guangxu's Reign. Up to now, there is no documentation available about when was the construction changed to brick and wood. Moreover, the Martial's Mansion was occupied by some military and financial organs after Martial Shoushan's death at his post. Although the mansion had frequently undergone demolishment, alteration and expansion during the period of end of Qing Dynasty, Republic of China, Japanese-invasion Period and the beginning of liberation and after the founding of China, the general structure was not much altered. It's ranked to be Provincial-Level Cultural Relics Protection Unit as for its important value for study in local history and literature history and other aspects.

Martial of Heilongjiang was transferred from Morgen (the present Nenjiang County) to station in Qiqihar in the 38th year of Kangxi's Reign (1699), and the Martial's Yamun was built and became the official office of all previous martials of Heilongjiang.
