An Bing Wall Carvings

Located on Xinhua Avenue in Shuanghe Subdistrict, Huaying City, Sichuan Province, An Bing Park is an urban leisure park themed around An Bing. The park consists of three main parts: the main body, the An Bing cultural wall, and the covered bridge. Inside the park, there are distinctive pagodas, a cultural square, a cultural wall, character sculptures, green belts, walking paths, and other tourism infrastructure. This entry focuses on the cultural wall (wall carvings) of An Bing Park. The background and historical context of the An Bing Park wall carvings mainly revolve around the famous Southern Song Dynasty historical figure, An Bing. An Bing (1148–1221), courtesy name Ziwen, also known as Xiaoran Shansou, was a native of Ganxi Chang, Guang'an Jun (present-day Yongxing Town, Huaying City). He made numerous contributions in the anti-Jin war during the Southern Song Dynasty, served as the Sichuan Pacification Commissioner, and oversaw the construction of the White Pagoda on the Qu River in Guang'an. After his death, An Bing was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Lu, with the posthumous name "Zhongding" (Loyal and Resolute). He authored Jing Shu Bian (Pacifying Shu Compilation) and Xiaoran Ji (Xiaoran Collection). The cultural wall in An Bing Park displays the main historical deeds of An Bing, including "An Bing the Man," "Keen Learner and Thinker," "Diligent in Governance and Benevolent to the People," and "Wisely Subduing Wu Xi." Situated alongside the main urban thoroughfare, the cultural wall has become a beautiful urban landscape.
