Why is Gulangyu so literary? What is the historical background?

Gulangyu Island was developed at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, formerly known as "Round Shazhou" and "Yuanzhouzai". It was renamed Gulangyu in the Ming Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong used this as a military stronghold and stationed troops to practice against the Qing soldiers. At present, there are still former sites such as Shuicaotai and Shizhaimen built at that time. During the Opium War, British troops occupied Gulangyu until 1845. After 1843, Xiamen was opened as a trading port according to the Sino-British treaty of nanking. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan occupied Taiwan Province Province. In order to prevent Japan from coveting Xiamen further, the Qing government decided to ask the great powers to "protect Xiamen at the same time". 1902 65438+ 10/0 (December 1st, Guangxu 27th) Consuls of Britain, America, Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, Netherlands, Swiss-Norwegian Union, Japan and other nine countries in Xiamen signed the Regulation on the Boundary Extension between Gulangyu Island in Xiamen and Yongquan Road Platform in Fujian.

During this period, many missionaries came to Gulangyu, and the schools they established had a great influence on modern education in China. For example, in 1898, when the British pastor Wei and his wife Wei Aili went to Gulangyu to preach, they founded "Huaide Kindergarten", which is the first kindergarten in China (now renamed Daylight Kindergarten).
