丁拱辰和他研制的火炮 省革命历史纪念馆革命史陈列第一展厅,展出了一门通体锈斑的清代火炮。它是清晚期我国著名的火炮专家——福建晋江县人氏丁拱辰研制的,说起的这门火炮的征集,还有一段故事。 当时,我们文物征集组赴泉州征集文物,泉州市委党史研究室刘西水主任建议我们,陈列方案必须增加丁拱辰这个历史人物,并将了拱辰的事迹向我们作了详细介绍。考虑到陈列内容正好有一块是反映我省民众抗击外国侵略的版面,我们提出最好能征集到有关文物及资料。于是,我们专程到晋江陈埭镇丁拱辰的家乡去看一看。当时我们并未抱多大的希望,因为一者历史时间太久了;二者丁拱辰长期生活在两广地区;三者丁拱辰是近代史上较有名气的人士,即使有文物恐很难征集到手。刘西水安慰我们说,你们不要急,只要有东西,无论如何也要把它征集过来送省革命历史纪念馆展出,因为这是泉州人民的光荣和骄傲。我们直接找到丁拱辰在陈埭镇的家词——丁氏宗祠。使我们意想不到的是,在丁氏宗祠就专门搞了一个还有点规模的陈列。这里陈列展出了丁氏一脉由古至今的著名人物 Ding Gongchen and his developed Revolutionary History Memorial Hall of Artillery Province, the first exhibition hall, exhibited a Qing anti-artillery piece with rust on the whole body. It is the late Qing Dynasty famous artillery expert - Jinjiang County of Fujian Ding Gongchen developed, talking about the artillery collection, there is a story. At that time, our collection of cultural relics went to Quanzhou to collect cultural relics. Director Liu Xishui of the Party History Research Office of Quanzhou Municipal Committee suggested that we must increase the historical figures of Ding Gongchen and display the deeds of Gongchen to us in detail. Taking into account that there is exactly one display of the content reflecting the anti-foreign aggression in our province’s forum, we propose that it is best to solicit the relevant cultural relics and information. So, we made a special trip to the hometown of Chen Gong Ding Jinchen to see. At that time we did not hold much hope, because one of the historical time is too long; both Ding Gongchen long living in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions; three Ding Gongchen modern history is more famous people, even if it is difficult to collect cultural relics Hand. Liu Xi Shui comfort us that you do not worry, as long as there is something, but in any case should also collect it forwarded to the Provincial Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, because this is the honor and pride of Quanzhou people. We directly find the Ding Gongchen in Chen Jiong town’s family word - Ding ancestral hall. What made us unexpected was that the Ding Ancestral Hall had a special display of a somewhat larger scale. The famous people from the ancient time to the present Ding have been exhibited here
