Above the stone steps is the majestic "Yinglie Square". This heroic stone archway was built by Guangde county government in August 2008. The clear height of the archway is 6.3 meters, which means that it happened in the air crash on June 3, 2006, and the clear height is 4 meters, which is 40 decimeters. This is to commemorate and cherish the memory of 40 heroes. The whole archway is made of marble, surrounded by eight stone lions. There are three stumps on the left and right sides of the back, which symbolizes the commemoration of "June 3" and the early death of the pillars of the country. Going up, there are 40 straight marble steps, which also expresses the meaning of commemorating 40 heroes.
On the leading steps is the stone tablet of Yinglie Mountain. In front of the stone tablet, there are three Chinese characters-"Yinglie Mountain". Why is it engraved in Yin instead of Yang? Its meaning is self-evident; The inscription on the back of the stone tablet is also carved in intaglio. This was a eulogy written by General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Hu Jintao at that time.
The stone tablet was carved by China Aviation Industry Corporation I in June, 2007. The width of the base is 100 cm, which symbolizes "the spirit of martyrs will last forever". Around the monument is a dome-shaped tomb, corresponding to the last building platform on the top of the mountain. The architectural style is integrated from top to bottom, which means that this is the place where 40 heroes are often buried. There are nine handrails around the stone tablet, all of which are lotus seats. Lotus is a symbol of pure land in Buddhism, and it is a place where souls are bred. It has the significance of transcending the secular and sacred resurrection, and expresses the meaning of heroic immortality of martyrs. [ 1]
Climbing the stairs to the top of the mountain is the main step of Yinglie Mountain, with a total of 603 steps! This is a profound commemoration of the "603 air crash"! Entering the peak gate, the first thing you see is the shipwreck monument, which is 20 10 mm high, representing that this monument was erected in 20 10 and 89 cm wide. The Ninth Five-Year Plan is a blessing for the long-term development of our country.
On both sides of the mountain, a large number of cypress and evergreen trees are planted, which means "evergreen pine and cypress"! Now, more than eight years have passed, and the gap between the plane and the mountain still exists. The tragic traces of eight years ago are still clear. Right in the middle of the top of the mountain is the "Martyrs Pavilion", carved with beams and painted with buildings, flying over eaves and climbing walls. The monument in the pavilion is very special. It is made of Shandong bluestone, with a length of 2000 mm and a width of 8 mm, indicating that it was established in 2008. There are 40 stars on the front of the stone tablet. These 40 shining stars symbolize that 40 martyrs fell here.
There are 139 steps above the pavilion, and the tombstones of 40 martyrs are neatly arranged on both sides of the steps, which are engraved with the life profiles of the victims. At the end is a dome-shaped tomb-carved fence building. The total number of steps in Yinglie Mountain is 825. A hundred acres of bamboo sea is still green, but there are a group of watching elves.
