The name of Orange Island comes from a historical legend. According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Qing army and imprisoned in Gan Qing Palace for a long time.
At this time, Minister Yuan Chonghuan was appointed as Hunan National Defense Ambassador. When Yuan Chonghuan learned that Ming Yingzong was imprisoned, he decided to plan an uprising in the hope of saving Ming Yingzong.
In the uprising plan, Yuan Chonghuan sent Yuan Shiduan, Cheng and others to secretly get in touch with Ming Yingzong and planned to transfer him to Jiangxi. In order to ensure the success of the plan, Yuan Shiduan and others conspired with Ming Yingzong in Orange Island. It is said that they met quietly in Yangliulin, Orange Island, to discuss the strategy of anti-Qing and regaining sight.
Although the action was ultimately unsuccessful, Ming Yingzong was still detained by the Qing army, but Orange Island became a symbol of this period of history and a place for people to commemorate China's heroic deeds and patriotism in ancient times.
