The Battle of Yashan was also called Yamen Naval Battle, Yamen Battle, Yamen Battle, Yamen Battle and so on in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. It was a large-scale naval battle between the Southern Song army and the Mongolian army at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was also a rare naval battle in ancient China, and it was also a great naval battle that decided the life and death of the Southern Song Dynasty. Because the naval battle must have happened in Yashan (now Jiangmen, Guangdong), it was called the Yashan naval battle. So, why is the Battle of Cliff Mountain a great destruction of culture?
First, the elite of the Southern Song Dynasty lost in the naval battle. 1March 279 19, the southern song army and the yuan army launched a great naval battle in yashan, which was related to the survival of the southern song dynasty. The army of the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated, and the prime minister Lu Xiufu was desperate. Eight-year-old emperor Zhao Min was thrown into the sea as a martyr. According to the soldiers and civilians who died together in the Southern Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and all the elites in China were martyred, with hundreds of bodies floating on the sea.

Some people even say that the failure of the Battle of Yashan marks the decline of Chinese civilization in the classical sense.
Third, national integrity is shrinking. After the war of Yashan, foreigners entered the Central Plains. Under the influence of foreigners, the national integrity of the Han people shrank or even lost, the national spirit was sluggish, and the wind of servility prevailed. The influence of Yashan naval battle on China is enormous and far-reaching. Later, there was a saying that there was no Huaxia after the cliff mountain and no Huaxia after the Ming Dynasty.
Qian's poem "Late Autumn Flourishing Thirteen" says: "The cape is steep and will never return to China. What's more, there is no fish belly to die, and there is a sea of water in Longkou? Watching Guanhe River is not a sign of China, and boasting about the sun and the moon is a fool. Chang 'e's eldest brother had nowhere to go, but Yin Lun cried osmanthus. "
Lv Liuliang's poem "The title is so picturesque" says: "Is it a trip to the Southern Song Dynasty? It's a shame to be so famous. Is it behind the cliff mountain? This mountain is unsightly. I began to realize painting today, and I cried very painfully. Looking back today, there is no swallowing sound ... "
