In the coastal city of Qingdao, there is a mysterious island in the sea. More than two thousand years ago, earth-shaking stories took place here. This is Tianheng Island depicted by Xu Beihong. Tianheng Island is a famous island with a long history. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang became emperor and sent envoys to summon King Tianheng of Qi to surrender. Tianheng refused and committed suicide on his way to Luoyang. When the five hundred heroes on the island heard this tragic news, they collectively drew their swords and sacrificed themselves. The world was shocked by the righteousness of the five hundred righteous men on Tianheng Island. They collected their remains and buried them together on the top of the island and built a temple to worship them. These historical sites have long been destroyed by pirates, but there is still a stone tablet with the inscription ‘The tomb of King Tianheng and the five hundred righteous men’. Tianheng Island is located in the Yellow Sea in the east of Jimo City and is one of the top ten landscapes in Qingdao. Its natural landscapes include Shegui Stone, Laoxian Cave, Sphinx Stone and so on. On the top of Tianheng Island, the tomb of the five hundred righteous men has an extraordinary momentum. The Tianheng ruins such as Cuizhao and Hanging Sheep and Beating Drums around the island and six or seven nearby islands surround Tianheng Island like stars holding the moon, constituting the rich tourism resources of the island. ‘Tianheng Inkstone’ is a major specialty of the island. As time goes by, things have changed. In the 21st century, Tianheng Island has become a fashionable and romantic resort island and a paradise where people can temporarily avoid the hustle and bustle of the world and return to the pure and quiet nature. This is a small island with only 1.46 square kilometers. Looking from the air, it is like a gem carefully inlaid in the azure sea. When you come to the island, you will suddenly not get used to the green everywhere. The leisurely black pines on the island are like persistent soldiers, silently guarding the territory of nature. Standing on the reef at the sea base, the waves from far to near splash and frolic at your feet. The wet trouser legs are the mark of her kissing you. Tianheng Island is a good place to get close to nature.
