The historical site of the uprising led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang

The historical site of the uprising led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang is located near Liucun Village, about 40 kilometers southeast of Suzhou City in Anhui Province. The site is a funnel-shaped platform, rising 4.5 meters above the ground, with a length of 67.6 meters from east to west, and a width of 65.5 meters from north to south, sloping from north to high to south to low. To the south of the platform stands a marble statue commemorating the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. Shegutai (also known as Shegutai, Shegutai, or Shelutai) was an ancient desolate marshland, hence the name 'Daze Township'. There used to be a primary school on the platform, which was relocated to the southwest of the platform in 1983. On the platform, there are four stone steles from the 14th year of the Ming Wanli era (1586), the 29th year of the Qing Daoguang era (1849), the 17th year of the Qing Guangxu era (1891), and the 32nd year of the Republic of China (1943). The 'Shegutai Reconstruction Stele' from the 29th year of the Qing Daoguang era records: 'The shooter was Chen She, and the platform was the platform where Chen She practiced martial arts and beat the drums.' During the Ming Wanli era, funds were collected to build the 'Lotai Temple and cast a bell, covering a bell tower.' These ancient buildings have been destroyed, but only the earth platform and stone steles remain. In 1984, a memorial hall was established on Shegutai, with sculptures of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
