Zhang, the county magistrate, and Ma, the secretary of the county, traveled to Maling in the north of the city after political affairs. This mountain is close to the ancient Yellow River, and it is far-sighted. The yellow river bends and hugs, carrying water back to the ring. Unfortunately, pavilions have collapsed, thorns and weeds are overgrown, and tourists' footprints are rare. Ma Baihua is a literati, so he got the approval of Zhang County, and built Maling Park, which was also strongly sponsored by local people.
1in the spring of 935, Suqian National Government convened a meeting of all departments of the county party committee, county organs, provincial and county normal schools and private middle schools in the name of the county government to discuss the garden construction plan and the division of tasks. Mobilize about 600 teachers and students from various organs, organizations and schools to participate in the voluntary labor construction park. After cutting thorns and weeding, a garden was opened in front to build a school. Everyone raised funds to build pavilions, bridges, streams, lakes and springs, and built a landscape. The garden is built on the principle of "letting nature take its course". Chinese food pavilion, Yueying Bridge, Jiuqu River and a spoonful of lake in the garden are all named after their similar shapes. A spring was found in the corner. According to the county records, there was the Book of Changes here, so it was obtained with the old name. Since then, Secretary Ma has named a Zhangqutang in the southwest, which is dozens of miles from north to south, as "a spoonful lake" because it looks like a long spoon (the northern section is narrow and long, and the southern section is wide and short). Dozens of feet northeast of this lake, there are nine meandering gullies, which, after dredging and excavation, look like snakes and flow to a spoonful of lake water, hence the name "Jiuquxi". Then, a grass pavilion named "Dining Show Pavilion" was built on the east bank of a spoonful of lake. Couplets are written on the two red columns of the South Pavilion. The first couplet is: Every morning and evening, the second couplet is: Every year and every month is beautiful and delicious. There is a stone table and four stone benches in the pavilion for tourists to sit on. In addition, Zhenwu Temple at the top of the mountain and the East-West Wang Crane Tower have been repainted. The East Building was named "Yang Gongting" to commemorate the anti-Japanese hero Yang Sihong of the Qing Dynasty in this county, and the West Building was named "Ruixuan Library" to commemorate the patriotic poetess Ni Ruixuan of this county. And three thatched cottages were built at the foot of Shandong Mountain, titled "Ma Ling sent to Lu" to show respect for the sages and inspire future generations. Later, the Zhenwu Old Temple came into being, which became a place for people to have tea, read newspapers and get together. There are two bronze statues in the temple, one is the temple god Zhenwu, which is still in the niche for historical research. One is Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. His public opinion is put in the corner, which makes tourists feel something. More than 10,000 flowers and trees have been planted in other open spaces, and a school has been set up in front of it, which shows that trees are as important as people. To the west of the park is the ancient Yellow River Road, with vast smoke waves. It is also zoned into the park, where you can go by boat, climb mountains and wade, and the scenery is beautiful, which is incomparable to other counties. At this point, Maling Park was built that year.
