One of the most important motivations to go to Yangliuqing is actually the hotel Tongshenghe, the check-in experience does not live up to my expectations, 360 ° all-round satisfaction If you want to experience something different in Tianjin, or are interested in the culture of the northern mansion or the history of Tianjin's big camp, it is recommended to come to Tongshenghe for a night, and you can also visit Yangliuqing and Shijia Compound by the way, you will also like it here.

Before knowing Tongshenghe, the cognition of Yang Liuqing only stayed in the New Year's painting, and before this trip, I accidentally searched the Tongshenghe Hotel, and then learned about the historical events related to the "big camp", and only then did I know that the influence of Yang Liuqing's "big camp" was far more than the Yangliu youth painting. According to relevant records, the Yangliuqing people "rushed to the camp" was a spontaneous and successful migration in Chinese history, making the Yangliuqing people in Tianjin the largest merchant gang in Xinjiang's commercial arena. "Rushing to the big camp" has greatly promoted the economic and commercial development of the two places. This commercial and trade activity has also promoted the cultural integration of various ethnic groups, enhanced the cohesion and affinity between various ethnic groups, and made great contributions to the consolidation of border defense. So, what exactly does it mean to drive a big camp?The time for popular science is up: in the Qing Dynasty, "big battalion" generally referred to military camps and armies, and "catching up with big battalions" was to follow the army and provide logistics services for the army. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the foreign invader Agu Bai occupied the Western Regions. The Qing ** sent heavy troops to defeat Aguba, shattering his dream of aggression. Due to the vast land and sparse population of the Western Regions, it was difficult for the army to buy daily necessities. Qing ** ordered to recruit hundreds of small traders and merchants in Yangliuqing, Tianjin, and pick up Chinese patent medicines and daily necessities produced in Tianjin and Beijing to do business with the army. When the Qing army hits **, they will serve and guarantee it**. This is called "rushing to the camp".

In order to get the approval of his sweetheart Liu Xia's family, An Wenzhong changed his career as a merchant after pulling fiber to Tongguan Wharf, and followed the officials and soldiers who built the ancient Silk Road and the civilian brigade to do business and make money. In the first year of Guangxu, a large number of Yang Liuqing people who were forced to a dead end by famine, under the leadership of An Wenzhong, left their hometowns, carried small baskets on their shoulders, and followed Zuo Zongtang to conquer the invader Agubai's army to the west, selling military supplies along the way. They climbed the mountains, crossed the vast grasslands, threw corpses in the desert, stained the Gobi with blood, and went forward one after another, generation after generation, showing a magnificent historical picture of "tens of thousands of merchants full of Tianshan". After several generations of hard work, the Dayingke formed the Tianjin merchant gang in Xinjiang, which was huge and rich, and extended the eastern route of the ancient Silk Road to the shore of the Bohai Sea

The bronze painting on the wall panel at the front desk of the hotel vividly depicts this period of history, and you can see that the people of "Tianjin and Xinjiang" frequently migrated back and forth at that time

In addition to the reliefs, the hotel also exhibits various poems, old **, calligraphy and paintings about the content of the "big camp", and the exquisite carving of every tiny detail in the interior makes people feel as if they are in the annals of history.
