Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1484 Old demolition households

In fact, this mystery will soon be solved. After the Three Gorges Project raises the water level by more than 100 meters, the now out-of-reach Bingshu Sword Cave will be no more than four meters away from the water. Rescue excavations will It proves that those "book of war" are actually three ancient Ba people's hanging coffins, and the "sword" is actually a big weathered stone.

Many cultural relics were also unearthed from the hanging coffin, including bronze spears with human figures, gourd-shaped objects, bows and arrows with bronze heads and wooden tails, and indeed a sword, but it was the one-meter-long bronze sword used by the Ba people.

Ten miles into the Xiangxi River from Bingshu Baojian Gorge is Baoping Village, where Wang Zhaojun's hometown is located, and ten miles further away is Pingle Li, the hometown of Qu Yuan.

There is also Qujiaping nearby, which is said to be the birthplace of Qu Yuan. Now even the township where Qujiaping is located has been changed to Sanlu Township.

Due to the existence of several historical celebrities, many cultural relics are concentrated here. It is said that the name of Zigui County comes from Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was demoted, his sister returned to her hometown from Chudu because she agreed with her younger brother's views. Named "Zigui".

There are 363 immovable cultural relic sites of various types in the county, including 98 ancient ruins, 147 ancient tombs, 56 ancient buildings, 15 cave temples and stone carvings, and even Forty-six important historical sites and representative buildings in modern times!

Among them, there is one national key cultural relics protection unit, seven provincial-level cultural relics protection units, eight municipal-level cultural relics protection units, and 20 county-level cultural relics protection units.

In addition to these, the rest, except stone carvings, tombs, and ruins, can all be included in the scope of the scientific research foundation's work.

A plan has also been formulated. Because Zigui County is almost completely flooded, the new county seat will be moved above the 176-meter line. Representatives of Qu Yuan Temple and Jiangdu Temple, the county's ground cultural relics with special historical value will be moved to Zigui, Yichang. The county seat is Maoping.

Typical buildings such as Qingtan Rencun and Xintan ancient residences will also be selectively relocated here.

In addition to Qu Yuan Temple and Jiangdu Temple, there are Shuifu Temple, Ziguang Pavilion, Wang Ancestral Hall, Du Ancestral Hall, Zheng Shuxiang House, Zheng Qiguang House, Zheng Shaonian House, Liu Zhenglin House, Zheng Wanlang House, Sanlaoye House, Peng Shuyuan House, Deng Yongqing House, Youxian House Ancient buildings from Xintan Village and Qingtan Village such as Chang’s House and Zheng Wanzhan’s House.

In addition, Qu Yuan’s hometown archway, Huiji Bridge, Jiangdu Bridge, Quzi Bridge, Qianshan Bridge, Xintan Ancient Well, Yinghe Gate, Jingxian Gate, and Xiajiang Stone Carvings will also be moved here.

Eventually, a community of ancient buildings built around Maoping Phoenix Mountain will be formed. Together with the surrounding natural landscape, it will eventually become a beautiful scenic spot.

Many projects have now started. The first batch to start moving are the three Hanques discovered under the second water level line of the Three Gorges Reservoir area - Dingfangque, Wumingque and Wuyangque.

Each Han Que weighs more than ten tons. Because the value of cultural relics is extremely high, Wuyang Que is even called a "national treasure". Therefore, it needs to be moved to a display site and then a museum is planned and built on top of it to prevent the house from building. The embarrassment of not being able to move things in after repairs.

The historical Wuyang Que was discovered by an old farmer digging for herbal medicine in 2001. In this life, due to the intervention of the foundation, a lot of human and financial resources were added to the early cultural relic inspection of the Three Gorges Project. Wuyang Que was also on the archaeological team. It was discovered in advance when we were inspecting the Huadengfen ancient tombs.

The discovery of the other two Hanques was also in a similar situation. This kind of large-scale stone component building is the most difficult to escape systematic exploration work.

Wuyang Tower is the only Han Dynasty stone tower in the entire southern region with both its twin towers and its two main towers well preserved. The excavation site is Wuyang Town, Zhong County, Yan Yan’s hometown. The Yuzhou Three Gorges Museum, which has not yet started construction, has already been excavated in advance. The C positions on both sides of the lobby stairs on the first floor were finalized.

The same is true for Zigui. It is too close to the Three Gorges Dam and is a priority area when it is flooded. Therefore, relocation work has begun to be put on the agenda.

When I came to the Zigui County Cultural Center, I found Director Chen. The No. 1 key relocation building introduced by Director Chen was Qu Yuan Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, Zigui was called Guizhou, and the governor Wang Maoyuan built Qu Yuan Temple in the 15th year of Yuanhe in Tang Dynasty.

In the third year of Yuanfeng in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty honored Qu Yuan as "Qing Lie Gong", renovated Qu Yuan Temple again and renamed it "Qing Lie Gong Temple".

During the Taiding period of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuge Buhua, the king of Zhizhou, rebuilt it one after another in the fourth year of Zhizheng.

In the 8th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Jingyang was the governor, in the 11th year of Yongzheng's reign, he was the governor of Hubei province, Ling Ruhuan, in the 46th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Wang Peigao was the governor, and in the 25th year of Jiaqing, the governor was Li Xin. Qu Yuan Temple

In the end, Qu Yuan Temple formed a huge building complex with a building area of ​​5,800 square meters and an area of ​​20,000 square meters. It was raised step by step according to the situation of the mountain. Multiple platforms were built along the depth axis, and the mountain gates were arranged in sequence. The main sacrificial buildings such as the front hall and the back hall are supplemented by wing rooms, stele corridors, and side halls on both sides. They are magnificent and eye-catching.

Compared with the buildings on the plains in the Central Plains and the capital of Shu, this kind of building built on the mountains has facades and side elevations that are staggered and have a strong sense of layering; in addition, they are coordinated and unified, simple and simple, with gray, white, and The main color combination of red, the rich variety of volcanic wall types, and the decorative patterns on the wall make Qu Yuan Temple the most important of all ancient buildings to be relocated.

Then Zhou Zhi found out with laughter that Qu Yuan, an old man, had been homeless when he was alive. Even if he became a god, he could still be called an "old demolished household"!

It turns out that Qu Yuan Temple was relocated once in 1976 due to the construction of Gezhouba Project!

The only thing worth comforting Mr. Qu is that many friends will move here to accompany him this time.

Jiangdu Temple, the representative of the Xintan ancient building complex, will be relocated this time because Xintan was completely flooded.

Jiangdu Temple, also known as Yang Si Temple, is a building dedicated to General Yang Si, the water god of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

There are many legends about who the prototype of General Yang Si was, but in most legends, General Yang Si has an excellent skill - killing dragons.

Therefore, it is natural to be located between the Yangtze River and Xiangxi River to suppress the water potential.

The building was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty and has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Most of the existing structures were left over from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The layout is a quadrangle, with a small courtyard in front of the foyer, a main hall, a wing, a side room and a patio. The wing has a building and a covered bridge outside the wing, covering an area of ​​more than 800 square meters.

The value of Jiangdu Temple lies in the structure and various decorations of its houses.

The bright room has a beam-lifting wooden frame, and the secondary room has a bucket-type structure. The shape of the beam is in the form of a moon beam, and the beams are connected by humps carved with Ruyi cloud patterns.

The interior of the building is exquisitely decorated, and all building components such as narrow eaves, corridors, hanging lintels made of curly grass, lattice doors, carved railings, etc. are very particular.

The carvings include "Eight Immortals in Darkness", "Golden Melon Column", "Five Bats Holding Longevity", "Drama with Literary Stage" and so on.
