Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 59

Chi Xueli pushed two boxes of lunch, and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, my sister feels that all the hard work has not been in vain, let's eat quickly."

Zhou Zhi looked at the wall clock on the wall: "Oh, it's almost twelve o'clock?"

"I just found out! I told you that my sister's weekend is very precious. I have already borrowed my car and you won't go out to play, right?!"

"We have to go there, except for the Jingcheng Confucian Temple, we haven't played it seriously yet."

Coming out of the guest house, there was a Toyota off-road parked downstairs. After the three of them got into the car, Chi Xueli began to ponder: "Where are we going? Should we go to the zoo?"

Zhou Zhi was also thinking: "There are too many people in the urban area, and it's not convenient for my sister... Hey, there must be a clean place, or if we go there, my sister will be able to visit freely."

"where?"

"Pidu, Wangcong Temple."

Chi Xueli didn't even know this place: "What temple?"

"Wang is Emperor Wang. Sister Xue Li must know that it is Du Yu; Emperor Cong is his prime minister, Bie Ling. Because of his merits in water control, Du Yu gave him the throne and is the successor of Emperor Wang."

It was the first time for Chi Xueli to know Zhou Zhi's ability in this area: "You are amazing, elbow!"

"That place is not well-known now." Zhou Zhi said, "It must be very deserted. Sister Xue Li has helped us a lot, and I will be my sister's tour guide in return."

Chi Xueli smiled: "Interesting, for local tour guides from other places!"

Yang He said: "Sister Xue Li, I can attest that Elbow was a tour guide at the Confucian Temple in Jingcheng. Three or 40 people came to listen. They charged a guide fee of one yuan per person and had a meal of hot pot!"

"It's so powerful!" Chi Xueli said in surprise: "Then go to Congci Temple! Let's talk about it first, and listen to complaints if you are not satisfied!"

Even in later generations, Wangcong Temple is a relatively deserted place, and it is even more unsightly today.

It was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in CD City in [-].It is not even a cultural relic protection unit in Shuchuan Province, and it can be described as desolate now.

"Is this place still available for sightseeing?" Chi Xueli was shocked when she got out of the car: "But it's really deserted."

"This is the original taste." Zhou Zhi was very satisfied with this place: "It may not be like this in a few years. I will take a good photo of Sister Chi later."

This is barely a park, but it is surrounded by walls and tickets are required, so no one comes.

Tickets are cheap, Chi Xueli has a press card, Zhou Zhi has a writer's association membership card, Yang He only spent [-] cents.

When the three of them entered the gate, Chi Xueli couldn't hide her disappointment. She looked at Zhou Zhi and said bitterly, "If you can't talk about flowers today, I'll leave you here and let you go back by yourself!"

"Hahaha... Don't worry, sister, I won't let you down."

The three of them toured together, and Zhou Zhi began to explain: "First of all, I would like to ask my sister a question, who opened the bottle mouth in Dujiangyan?"

"Li Bing and his son, there is a temple of two kings there." Chi Xueli gave Zhou Zhi a blank look: "Is there even a need to ask?"

"Since you ask, it means that a trap has been set." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Teach my sister to be a good boy now, and in the future when others ask you this question, you can give a more accurate answer—Du Yu was the first to answer the question at Dujiangyan Baopingkou. It was discovered that Bieling began to guide the river to control the water from there, and finally Li Bing perfected it to form a whole, which became the Dujiangyan project."

"Really?" Chi Xueli didn't believe it: "You lied, right?"

"Why am I lying to you?" Zhou Zhi said, "This starts with the origin of the ancient Shu kingdom..."

Although the ancestral hall is desolate, the architectural structure is generally there. There are more than 200 dense ancient cypresses and two large mounds with a circumference of [-] meters.

Zhou Zhi took Chi Xueli and Yang He to visit one place after another.

"The civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom did not have the Chengdu Plain at all at first. Instead, it traced from Jiazhou along the Minjiang River to the border of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, arrived at the Yellow River Basin connecting the Qilian Passage, and then turned southeast along the Yellow River to reach Huaxia. The core area of ​​civilization - the Loess Plateau."

"This constitutes a passage connecting the Yangtze River civilization and the Yellow River civilization, allowing ancient people to migrate and flow - the Minjiang Civilization Corridor."

"The ancestors of ancient Shu were actually mainly active in today's Yi, Qiang, and Tibetan areas. The clothing and appearance of those ancestors are also reserved in the clothing and appearance of the Yi and Qiang."

"Until the Tang Dynasty, this channel still played the role of civilization migration. In the Tang Dynasty, a group of Tubo people followed this channel from the upper reaches of the Minjiang River to the vicinity of Yinchuan, and finally multiplied in Taowai and established a dynasty—— Xixia."

This information is something that Chi Xueli doesn't know, and it can't be found in ordinary books nowadays. It can be seen that Chi Xueli is very interested in this, and she can't help but listen to it with fascination.

"And where did the Shu people enter the Shuchuan Plain? It's from here."

"They found a passage at the foot of Yulei Mountain in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. From there, it is most convenient to enter the Shuchuan Plain from the Minjiang River Basin."

"So Du Yu took his clansmen and occupied this passage at the entrance of the Shuchuan Plain. This is the origin of Pidu."

"That's why Yang Xiong recorded in "The Chronicle of Emperor Shu": Du Yu 'represented Yufu as king, and his disciples were all in Pi, that is, Dujuan City.'"

"Du Yu became the queen of Shu and was called Emperor Wang. At that time, the Minjiang River was flooded and flooded the plains in western Sichuan. Prime Minister Bie Ling came from the Yangtze River Basin and had experience in water control, so Emperor Wang ordered him to control the water."

"Bie Ling split the Yulei Mountain, dug out the mouth of the treasure bottle, dredged the water of the Minjiang River, turned the flood into a water conservancy, and turned the West Sea into a field, so that the Western Sichuan Plain changed from the fishing and hunting civilization of the Yufu era to the farming and mulberry civilization of the Wangcong era. .”

"This project laid the foundation for the Dujiangyan project. Afterwards, Emperor Wang retired to the West Mountain, and Emperor Zenrang was located in Bieling, called Emperor Cong."

"It is recorded in the county annals of Pixian County that the 'Chongde Temple' worshiping Emperor Wang was originally located at Erwang Temple in Guanxian County."

"And "The Chronicles of the Two Emperors of Minyang" records: "After the death of Emperor Cong, he was buried in Pi, and there was a temple in the old place. Go to Guoyili in the south of the ancient town."

"It wasn't until Emperor Qiming of the Southern Dynasties that Liu Jilian, the governor, moved the Chongde Temple from Guankou and built it next to the Congdi Temple in Pixian County, and then merged with the Congdi Temple to become the 'Wangcong Temple' where the two emperors were worshipped together."

"Later, there was a popular saying among people here: 'Dragon Boat Festival sacrifices to Qu Yuan, and Minyang courts Lord Du'."

"So the ancestral halls all over the world, such as the Han Zhaolie Temple in the capital of Shu, also known as the Wuhou Temple, have one main entrance, and the Wangcong Temple is dedicated to two emperors, so there are two main entrances in the north and south."

"This is also the only and largest emperor's mausoleum in the southwestern region of my country where one shrine is dedicated to two lords."

In front of the mausoleums of the two emperors, stone steles of "Tomb of Emperor Wang Wang" and "Tomb of Emperor Gu Cong" were respectively erected.The stele is more than Zhang high, and the next inscription is engraved with "Xiong Kewuli, Dan Maoxin's book".

"These two tombs are virtual tombs. They were actually built during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty." Zhou Zhi said, "These two steles were destroyed before, and the two now are replicas."

Then Zhou Zhi walked in the front all the way, looking at the scenery and buildings, explaining the story of those two people to these two people.

The architectural style here is different from ordinary temples. Although the original temple was built according to the plan of Yuling Mausoleum in Kuaiji Mountain, it is divided into two gardens because one temple worships two masters.

Zigui Garden is in the south and Lianyi Garden is in the north.

Zigui is the cuckoo, and the cuckoo is the incarnation of Du Yu;

Ripples are related to water. According to legend, Bie Ling was a Jing man who turned into a corpse and swam upstream from the Yangtze River to Pidu.

Facing the water, there are towers and pavilions such as "Daosun Tower" and "Tingjuan Tower".

Each building has its own allusion. The rice sun is the regenerated rice after the rice is cut, which shows that the rice in Sichuan at that time could already be harvested twice a year.

"Listening to the cuckoo", Chi Xueli rushed to answer, and it was naturally the "listening to the cuckoo" in "Cuckoo singing blood and ape whining".

Looking at Wangcong Temple, a large area of ​​water runs through the north and south—Bie Lingchi, Zhou Zhi said: "Actually, I think the allusion of the cuckoo crying blood is open to discussion."

"What do you mean?"

"Yang He should know that the cuckoo is also called cuckoo, and it's time to cultivate in spring..."

"It will shout 'Get up fast', 'Get up fast'! Tell people to get up quickly!" Yang He said.

"So 'Wangdi Chunxin entrusts the cuckoo', even if it is not the poet's original intention, but just the literal meaning, can there be another interpretation?"

"This is the farming civilization that Emperor Wang developed. I hope that everyone will not be lazy when they should sow seeds in spring. After death, they will also turn into cuckoo birds and continue their mission."

"This historical turning point is very important. From then on, the Shuchuan Plain has gradually become a fertile field for thousands of miles, a land of abundance."

"Today, Shuchuan has become the country's largest grain province, a pig province, a very important liquor province, and a sericulture province. In fact, it is the solid foundation laid by the two emperors."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a pair of couplets on both sides of the sacrificial hall: "That's why later generations made this pair, a legacy for thousands of years, and chasing Xu Chongshen."

Chi Xueli looked at the couplet, but it was written——

The Kingdom of Shu broke the world, remembering that Guanshang passed away, the waters and lands were at the beginning, and the three generations of one virtuous monarch and minister were far away;

The Ba people chased the ground, and when the flowers and phoenixes came, the place where the cuckoos sang, there were many winds and rains for thousands of years.

There is also a statue of the second emperor in the hall. The three of them went in and bowed respectfully to the second emperor.

Coming out of the hall, Zhou Zhi continued to guide Chi Xueli: "People in Shudu love to play and are good at farming. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a poet named Li Bingling. In view of the situation of warlords at that time, he wrote a poem "Taicheng Road". "

"Silkworms and cypresses first founded the country. The legacy inherited Du Yu.

The tomb of the soft-shelled turtle is sealed with clouds, the city of cuckoo is sunny, and Junyou joins in with handsome friends.

Where does the soul go.There are only three paths of haze and a few piles of dust.

Cuixiao red wall, pedestrians come and go by themselves.

At that time, the heroes competed, and there were monarchs and ministers bowing to each other, and Ming Nong controlled the water.

Yun succeeded Tang and Yu, made great contributions to Yuji, and the mountains and rivers of Western Shu will remain forever.

Chunfeng is ancient.

Laughing five seasons and six dynasties, the Central Plains was divided.

Proclaim the emperor and king, and the world will be troubled. "

"My Shuchuan people are amateurs in civil wars and desperate in foreign wars. I am afraid that their roots are also the genes cultivated by historical origins."

Chi Xueli smiled and said: "This is really a good place, it's ridiculous that I'm so close, I only learned so much today."

Zhou Zhi said: "There is also a custom here. After the seedlings are transplanted, everyone will come here and hold a song competition."

"People will throw plums on girls' wives. It is said that whoever suffers more will have more plums."

"Some mother-in-laws are impatient, so they brought their daughter-in-law to Wangcong Temple to pick plums on this day."

"Unfortunately, such a scene can no longer be seen now."
