My system is not decent

Chapter 1485 There have always been different opinions, and it has become an eternal mystery

Such as Yu's water control, engraved stone inscriptions;

Yu succeeded in controlling the water, and erected a monument to honor virtue;

Hengshan folklore and so on.

Of course, there are also many controversies.

What's more, it is also believed that the "Monument of King Yu" is a monument carved by Qin Shihuang to commemorate Dayu during his southern tour, or the characters of Chu State, etc.

However, no matter how you go about it, the interpretation of the life experience of the "Monument of King Yu" will not affect it at all, and its huge influence!
Therefore, there have been a large number of celebrities and literati in all dynasties, who have generated great interest in it.

They all wanted to pay their respects and worship the legendary "Monument of King Yu".

It's just that everyone doesn't know the exact location of the "Monument of King Yu".

Therefore, for the "Stele of King Yu", everyone only hears its name and does not see its body.

As for the earliest written records of the "Monument of King Yu", it is generally believed that it can be seen in the "Xiangzhong Ji" written by Luo Han (during the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty).

The book records the "Monument of King Yu" and said: "There is a king's letter on Mount Yu (anciently referred to as Mount Heng), and Yu used his writing to control the water, and there is a stele of Yu on it."

Since then, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Song Xuling period of the Southern Dynasty also mentioned the "Monument of King Yu" in his "Nanyue Ji".

That is to say: "There is a stele of Yu Yu's water control in Yunmi Peak, all of which are written in tadpole characters. There is a stone altar under the stele, and the flowing water lingers on it, which is the most outstanding."

Moreover, it is rumored that Xu Lingqi, a Taoist who once practiced in Zigai and Yunmi Erfeng of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, also saw the "Monument of King Yu" with his own eyes because of collecting medicine and refining alchemy.

However, it is a legend after all and cannot be verified.

Of course, if the Monument of King Yu is only a legend from now on, many people would not choose it even if it was faked.

But then it kept showing up.

For example, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, during the Xiao Qi period of the Southern Dynasties, the reputation of "King Yu Monument" began to spread to the world for the first time.

This matter is recorded in Liu Xian's "Cuijilu" during the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties.

That is to say: "Xiao Qi's great ancestor Zishuo was named King of Hengyang, and a mountain man Cheng Yi traveled to Hengyue and got the stele of Yu. He copied it and presented it. Wang Baozhi, who picked a good stone and carved it, was first seen in the world."

However, the mother stone of the legendary "Stele of King Yu" and the engraved version of "Stele of King Yu" that were circulated during the Southern and Northern Dynasties have basically never been found by later generations.

In addition, in the "Wuyue Chunqiu" written by Zhao Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is also a record of "Yu Wangbei".

That is to say: "Yu climbed Hengshan, dreamed of the messenger of Cangshui, and gave the book of gold slips and jade characters, and obtained the key to water control, and carved the height of the stone mountain."

Obviously, before the Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties, etc., all had records of "Yu King Stele", which had a huge impact on later generations.

Therefore, Han Yu, a litterateur in the Tang Dynasty, went to Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue to find the "Monument of King Yu".

But he couldn't find it. After a lot of disappointment, Han Yu wrote a poem "The Monument of Yu, the God of the Mountain", and returned angrily.

I saw Han Yu writing a poem: "The stele of the god Yu on the top of the mountain, with a blue stone and a red shape. The Ke Dou boxing body is draped upside down, and the phoenix is ​​floating and the tiger is holding the tiger. The secret ghosts are not allowed to peep, and the Taoist is alone. Occasionally, I’ll come to consult you with tears and tears. I’ve searched thousands and thousands of times to find it, and the dense green trees and apes are sad.”

In addition, Liu Yuxi, who was also a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was also known as the Stele of Yu Yu.

He wrote a poem: "I often hear that there is a stele of God Yu on Zhurong Peak. The ancient stone Lang plays in the shape of a tiger in the secret language."

Because whether it was the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the ancients often only heard the legends, but never saw the "Monument of King Yu".

Therefore, the authenticity and life experience of the "Monument of King Yu" were covered with a thick coat of mystery.

Then, it became more and more confusing.

However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, things took a turn for the better.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, the fifth year of Jiading (5), when the poet He Zhi visited Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue.

He met a woodcutter on his way, and under his identification, he accidentally discovered the "Monument of King Yu" on Guanyi Peak, one of the 72 peaks of Hengshan Mountain.

Because the "Monument of King Yu" was found on the Gouyu Peak, it is also called the Gouyu Stele.

Probably because of research, extreme reverence, or because of too much love.

In the end, He Zhi copied the inscription and brought the copied inscription back to Ehu (South Chang) Sha.

In the end, the copied inscription was engraved on Yuelu Mountain.

However, Zhang Shinan, a contemporary of the Southern Song Dynasty, obviously had doubts about He Zhi's discovery of the "Monument of King Yu".

Therefore, in "You Huan Ji Wen", there is a detailed record of how he discovered the "Monument of King Yu".

"Why did you present Cao Yanyue, the commander-in-chief of the company, and the second stele of Prajna monk written by Liu Zihou...Cao Xixi, ordered Hengshan to search and visit. The order reported: The willow stele is in Shangfeng Temple. The stele is rare since ancient times. If you doubt how to get it elsewhere, you will deceive Cao."

He Zhi brought the rubbings of the "Monument of King Yu" back to Husha and dedicated it to the Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, the transshipment envoy - Cao Yanyue, which really made the minister of the Southern Song Dynasty very excited.

For this reason, the minister also sent someone to look for the mother stone of the "Monument of King Yu".

However, no matter how I searched, I couldn't find it.

In desperation, Cao Yanyue had no choice but to engrave the rubbings of the "Monument of King Yu" presented by He Zhi on the top of Yuelu Mountain and seal it with soil.

The "Monument of King Yu" that was handed down on Yuelu Mountain, based on the rubbings of He Zhi, is not what we see now.

Here, the story gets a little weird.

Since someone had already found it back then, they went to look for it immediately, why couldn't they find it?
Since they sent no one to find it, it eventually aroused suspicion.

Maybe, at that time, including the minister Cao Yanyue, many people thought that He Zhi had dug up a fake "King Yu Monument" from elsewhere to deceive Cao Yanyue.

As for the purpose, it should be to curry favor with the minister in order to gain benefits.

Generally speaking, there have always been different opinions on the authenticity and even life experience of the so-called "Monument of King Yu" engraved on Yuelu Mountain.

In any case, whether the rubbings of the "Monument of King Yu" brought back by He Zhi is true or not, and in the end, the rubbings were engraved on Yuelu Mountain.

After engraving, it was sealed up.

And this one has been sealed for more than 300 years.

It was not until the Jiajing Guisi year of the Ming Dynasty, that is, 1533, that it was searched by a Ming Dynasty official.

It was searched by Guan Daxun, the deputy envoy of Huguang Tixue. Afterwards, Guan Daxun copied the "Monument of King Yu" on Yuelu Mountain into a stele and erected it in Hengyang Shigu Academy.

It was also during this period that the "Monument of King Yu" was truly created and famous all over the world.

Only the government and the public in the Ming Dynasty really saw it. It is known as the "Monument of King Yu" in the book of Yu Xia.

During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, someone carved the "Monument of King Yu" from Shigu Academy on the top of the Nanyue Hengshan Peak.

Since then, the "Monument of King Yu" and the stele pavilion have appeared near the mother stone of the original "Monument of King Yu" which has no characters.

In any case, after the discovery of the "Monument of King Yu" in Yuelu Mountain in the Ming Dynasty, people have been taking good care of this legendary "Monument of King Yu" which is closest to the mother stone of "Monument of King Yu".

Among them, the most obvious is that the stone pavilion was built in 1935 to protect it.

For this reason, there are still people who engrave the word "Grand View" beside it.
