Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 889 Guan Sheng
"Uh..." Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, "there may be several places. When Huang Tingjian came to Yizhou, he stayed at Nan Temple. He was in a depressed mood at the time. He used to call it 'Hao Mu Liao' and 'Dead Ash Temple'."

"Later, my mood changed. I found a spring. A local family surnamed Yao used it to make wine. It was called 'Yao Zixue Qu'. Huang Tingjian liked it very much. He named the spring 'Anle Spring' and wrote a special article about it. 'An Lequan Fu'. And 'Yao Zixue Song', it is said that it is the predecessor of Wuliangye."

"In addition, there is the 'Suojiang Pavilion'. It is recorded in history that the Suojiang Pavilion is located behind the Suojiang Stone, and the Suojiang Stone itself is a huge stone beside the Minjiang River. In the second year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, Bodao City in Rongzhou was moved to the north of the Shangjiang River. , and set up iron chains on the Minjiang River here to prevent the southern minority regimes from attacking by boat, and this stone got its name from this."

"Later, it developed into a customs office. Because of the beautiful scenery, Huang Tingjian often went there to drink and enjoy the river scenery. In the dozens of volumes of articles and more than 80 poems left here, there are related to the "Suojiang Pavilion" 'Yes, there must be five or six poems."

"Later, Huang Tingjian and Yizhou were connected. When literati came to Yizhou, they must leave poems in memory of Huang Tingjian. Gradually, Huang Tingjian became a cultural symbol of Yizhou. Later generations built a commemorative building in memory of him. Inscriptions and buildings, the most famous one should be Diaohuanglou."

"But whether these places are still there now, I don't know."

"The elbows are amazing..." Liu Tao said with emotion: "I'm not an aborigine, but I can say so many things."

"What's so great?" Xiong Jiao smiled and said, "He didn't even mention the most famous Liubei Pond in Yizhou."

"That's right." Zhou Zhi said, "There is a record in Rongzhou county annals: the county city crossed the river and went north. In about [-], the big rocks cracked, and the cracks in the rocks were curved like caves. When the Yellow Valley lived in exile, it was a joy to dig stones to divert water. There is a pavilion at the On it, looking east to the middle of the river, the ripples of the sails can be seen."

"Liubei Pond should be under Suojiang Stone, are these places still there?"

Liu Tao said with a smile: "The park opposite the square used to be Beijiao Park, but now it is called Liubeichi Park. There is a small valley in the park, and in the valley is Liubeichi. From the valley passage, you can see the Minjiang River. There are two characters Suojiang on the riverside, and two small characters 'valley' next to it."

"Huang Tingjian's name is Huangshan Valley, so I have to go and see it!" Zhou Zhi felt itchy.

"Then let's go for a walk, it's quite cool inside." Xiong Jiao smiled and said, "If I don't take you there, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it anywhere."

"It would be more worthwhile if I could write another article like "Travel Notes of Wangcong Temple"," Zhang Xinyi said.

As soon as they said they would leave, everyone got up and walked towards the park.

The park is actually the terrain of a valley in the mountains. This mountain river, Minjiang River, is separated from Jiangbei, forming a natural "city wall".

A valley connects the riverside and the exit of the park. In ancient times, it was a checkpoint for the Minjiang River to enter the city. It is estimated that this checkpoint has generated income for Yizhou City, so it is even called "Cuike Mountain".

Ke is "kebei". In ancient times, special taxation means to collect special tax.

Along the way, there are many scenic spots.

First, I saw the legendary Dianjiangtai where Zhuge Liang gathered soldiers and horses before he conquered the army. According to the explanation in the introduction, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, conquered Menghuo in the south, led his army down the Minjiang River, passed through Bodao, and set up camp here. The art of war, practice the eight formations, and dig a well under the stage for the drink of soldiers and horses.

This well is shaped like a gossip, and the water is like a spring, cool and sweet.After Zhuge Liang returned to Shu from the Southern Expedition, the well was left for the world to enjoy, so it was called Kongming Well.

In fact, the well itself is not very good, the key is that the surrounding stone carvings are quite powerful.

In addition to the bluestone slabs around the well and the stone guardrails for tourists to rest.Behind the well there is a screen wall about five meters high and two inverted ear walls about four meters high.

The screen wall is decorated with six ancient stone carvings. The whole scenic spot is antique, with tiles, corners, screen walls, stone carvings, ancient wells, guardrails, and stone drums.

"What are these paintings?" Jiang Shuyi asked Zhou Zhi.

"It's amazing. The one in the middle is called Zhaobi, and the stone carving on the upper part is called 'Shoutian Bailu'. This should be the earliest carved one, and it should be something from the Ming Dynasty."

"The one below is a bit later. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called 'Fushou Shuangquan', and the two on the left and right were called ear walls. The stone carvings on it were also from the Ming Dynasty. "

"These are all decorations used by big families in ancient times, indicating that this well may have been included in the private property of some people at one time, and it became public property again later."

In addition to Dianjiangtai and Kongming Well, there are Guandi Temple and Prime Minister's Temple here.

The Prime Minister's Temple is the front hall, and the Guandi Temple is the back hall of the Prime Minister's Temple. This rule is a bit strange.

The Prime Minister's Temple was first built in the Song Dynasty, and it has not been restored now. It is relatively dilapidated. There is a very distinctive thing in front of it. It is a huge inkstone with a diameter of more than four meters. Treasure, with fish and other auspicious patterns year after year.

"This is also an old thing, from the Ming Dynasty, at least it must be a cultural relic protected at the prefectural level." Zhou Zhi looked at the introduction: "Yo, this is one of the eight scenic spots in old Yizhou."

"It's just an inkstone carved from a big stone, it doesn't feel very special." Feng Xueshan said.

"It is recorded in the local chronicles that in the days when the sky was clear and cloudless, if there was water in the inkstone, the shadows of the three towers of Dongshan White Pagoda, Qixing Mountain Black Pagoda on the south bank, and Jiuzhou Pagoda by the Minjiang River would all be reflected in the inkstone. , like three pens dipping in ink, it is called 'Bi Dian Dan Chi'."

Zhang Lu looked around: "Where is the tower?"

"I'm afraid it's gone." Fang Wenyu said.

"Actually, it's just a mirror reflection," Wei Fei said, "The ancients thought it was amazing, but as modern people, we don't need to make a fuss."

"You make a lot of sense, but I still want to hit you." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Let's go and see this Guandi Temple again. It's a big scene."

Zhou Zhi's so-called ostentation is that the Prime Minister's Temple has become the front hall of the Guandi Temple, and the civil servants guard the gates for the generals. I am afraid that there is only one place in the world.

When you enter the temple, you realize that it is a courtyard of its own, with blue tiles and red walls, towering trees and surrounded by green bamboos.

The hall is not big, and Guan Yu is solemn and solemn in the hall, with Guan Ping and Zhou Cang standing on both sides.The ancient stone pagoda furnace and censer outside the hall are full of blue smoke, and the stone Huabiao stands proudly, adding a bit of solemnity.

On the contrary, there are more than ten plaques and couplets inscribed by Song Huizong, Ming Wanli Emperor, Qing Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and other emperors in the temple.

Among them, the one that Zhou Zhi thinks is the best is "The ambition is in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the sages of Confucius have not seen those who are upright; the spirit is overwhelming the world, and Mencius called it awe-inspiring."

"The reason why this couplet is well done is because this couplet believes that Guan Yu embodies two important concepts of Confucianism, and writes the reason for his sanctification."
