Before the Song Dynasty, it was a tucheng. Brick walls were laid in the fourth year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 198), and expanded in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, becoming a large and solid city.
There are some ancient buildings in the ancient city, such as Wenming Gate, a small wall at the north gate, Gong Xue, Wangying Pagoda and Shengdetang.
After the expansion of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it became a large-scale solid city in Hainan Island.
According to historical records, Guyazhou was a tucheng before the Song Dynasty. Brick walls were laid in the fourth year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 198), and the city site was expanded in six years (1233) to open three gates in the east, west and south.
After the expansion of the ancient city in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became a large-scale solid city in southern Xinjiang.
During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, the buildings of the ancient city basically took shape. The east, west, south and north gates of the ancient city are Yangchun Gate, Zhenhai Gate, Wenming Gate and Ningxiu Gate respectively.

Huang Daopo, a famous female weaver in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, lived in Shuinan Village of Yacheng for nearly 40 years, spreading textile technology to the local Li people.
Literati, sages, scholars, dignitaries and celebrities lived in exile, and businessmen from developed areas such as Guangdong, Zhejiang and Fujian stayed and settled, which had an important impact on the prosperity of Yazhou City.
By the Ming Dynasty, Yazhou had already had the grand occasion of "reciting the strings to make the characters ordinary, and the officials were small in Suzhou and Hangzhou".
According to the records of Sanya City, in the twenty years of Qianlong, Yazhou set up Dongguan City and Xiguan City, and there were more than 30 cloth shops, hotels, jewelry stores and bookstores in the old street.
It is conceivable that the ancient city of Yazhou at that time was dotted with merchants, and the streets were crowded and bustling.
Since the Tang Dynasty (note that Yazhou in the Tang Dynasty was not in Sanya today, but in the west of Hainan and then moved to the north of Hainan), many bureaucrats and celebrities were framed by traitors and exiled to Yazhou City.
There are as many as 14 officials and ministers above the deputy prime minister alone, such as Wei Zhiyi and Tang Yuan in the Tang Dynasty; Song Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Lu Duoxun and, Wang of Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, etc.
Therefore, Yacheng is also called "the hometown of Chu Shi".
In particular, when Jian Zhen, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, traveled eastward to Japan for the fifth time in the seventh year of Tang Tianbao (748), he was attacked by a strong typhoon, and his sailboat drifted to Yacheng, where he helped build Dayun Temple and left a batch of Buddhist classics to Japan, which is a magical treasure in the cultural history of Yacheng.
Huang Daopo, a female cotton textile innovator in Yuan Dynasty, lived in Shuinan Village of Yacheng for nearly 40 years.
By the Ming Dynasty, Yazhou had already had a grand occasion of "reciting strings makes people comfortable, and officials are small in Suzhou and Hangzhou".
It turns out that the ancient city has three gates: east, west and south.
The east gate is called Yangchun Gate, the west gate is called Zhenhai Gate, and the south gate is called Wenmingmen because it is before Gong Xue.
The East and West Gates have long since disappeared, and the newly built South Gate is the only primitive Yazhou ancient city that has survived several disasters.
After the restoration, the south gate is arched and ochre, and the crib of the gate is imitated and restored. The word "Wenmingmen" in the north of the gate is the inscription of the millstone in the Qing Dynasty, and the handwriting is as clear as ever.
After the restoration, a two-story pavilion-like prismatic building, Civilization Building, has been added to the South Gate, which is even more magnificent.
After Hainan established the province to run a large special zone, the gate of Yazhou City has been renovated and looks magnificent, and Chinese and foreign tourists are constantly coming.
In Yacheng, there are also famous scenic spots at home and abroad, such as karst caves, which are shaped like huge cliffs and stand on the pillow sea wall. There are beautiful peaks and mountains, overlapping trees, strange rocks and rocks in various forms, hanging in the shade, red beans like stars and clear springs like valleys.
In the Ming Dynasty, Aoshan Academy was built here, and the seaside at the southwest foot of Macao was a cave of all sizes. Zhou Kang, an army of Ji Yang, created famous works such as Cliff Stone Carving when he visited Xichun in Nanning.
During the Chunyou period, Mao Kui, the county magistrate, made a record of the large and small caves.
When I entered the cave and boarded the hook platform, I saw that water connected the sky and the sky, and water and the sky were the same color. The majestic rock stands on the sea against the waves, with the word "hook platform" inscribed by Mao Kui.
There are also exquisite cliff stone carvings, poems and inscriptions left by Comrade Guo Moruo 1962.
A "rope" formed by feldspar hangs into the sea from the platform along the stone wall, which is amazing and intriguing.
Below the "hook platform" is a cliff cave, which is winding and deep, and above the hole is engraved with three eye-catching Chinese characters of "small hole".
In the east, there is a fascinating "seamount wonder", in addition to the "Jianfeng Mountain" pointing to the sky and towering stacked stones, there is also a "ladder" formed by stacked stones.
There are also Zhou Shi, which is described as "hollow without Jianghu objects, really without complicated axes", the lifelike "immortal footprint stone", the magical "shark grave stone", especially the fantastic, secret and unpredictable "big cave", which attracts more tourists.
Near the northwest of Yacheng, there are two adjacent charming "Yujing Hot Springs". Originally, one pool was half warm and half cold, and the other pool was boiling hot, but the warm pool became cold and the rolling pool was hot, so it was perfect to take a bath.
During the Zheng De period of the Ming Dynasty, stone was used for protection, but it was discarded for a long time. In the 15th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, Yizhou Tangyiyuan was rebuilt and a "Jijige" was built. Now that the pavilion is abandoned, it is still a mirror-like jade well. Suitable for bathing at any time.
