Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2137
Take a closer look at the buildings here. Although they are dilapidated, you can still see the grandeur when they were built. The beams and pillars are made of precious fragrant nanmu.Inside, there are main halls, side rooms, wing rooms, corridors, retreat dining halls, Yanxi halls, Youqing halls, Yanxi halls and other buildings, with dozens of pavilions and pavilions.There are also several acres of ponds, dotted with flowers, plants and trees.

"Officials have enjoyed it since ancient times." Xie Erren sighed.Although the three general mansions were built more than 100 years ago, they are in better condition than some residential buildings.In terms of size and grandeur, it is not comparable to the Wuzhou government office where I live.

Xie Youren suddenly thought, can this place be used to house refugees?However, he immediately vetoed this idea. Thousands of refugees moved in, and it was inevitable that they would have to cook on fire.It's better to spread them out like this.

However, these houses can be used as future office and factory buildings...

Xie Youren was thinking about it, when he came to the front of the Zongbing Yamen, there was no Zongbing stationed here for a long time, but there was a pair of strange big drums in front of the door, the drums were so huge that they were as big as a large jacuzzi.The drum head is already dilapidated, and the drum body is even more peculiar. Not only is the appearance rough, but the shape is not a complete circle. It seems to be made of some kind of plant skin.

Seeing that Chief Xie was so interested in the pair of drums, the clerk quickly introduced that the pair of drums was after Han Yong broke through the Datang Gorge, cut off the giant vines across the river, covered several sections of them with cowhide to make drums, and distributed them to Guangzhou. In front of the yamen of the military towns in Wuzhou, Zhaoqing, Wuzhou, and Zhaoqing to demonstrate the martial arts of "putting down chaos".It is said that when the big drum is beaten, it is "like thunder, and the sound is heard for miles".

"This is a vine?" Xie Youren was a little surprised now—how thick is this vine!However, looking at the color and texture of the drum body, it does have the feeling of old vines.

"That's why it's named Dayeng Gorge." He Dongli said, "It is said that this giant vine is a century-old vine, which straddles the Qianjiang River and floats day and night. Those who want to cross the river can cross the water as long as they cling to this vine. Mr. Han broke through Datang Gorge and captured Hou Dagou, so he cut off the vine. Originally, business travelers could not pass through Datang Gorge. County. According to legend, Tengzhou and Tengxian got their names.”

Xie Erren nodded again and again, this Han Yong is really talented!He heard that Han Yong had a ancestral temple in Wuzhou, and he proposed to go to Han Gong's ancestral temple to offer incense.

He Dongli was slightly surprised, but thinking of going to the sages to offer incense and pray is the proper duty of a magistrate.Now lead the way.

As soon as the news that the "Prefect of the Great Song Dynasty" was going to go to the Han Gong Temple to offer incense, the government servants in Wuzhou Prefecture and Cangwu County immediately took action. "Suppress" and "clean the streets" everywhere along the street.For a while, the whole city was in an uproar.When Xie Erren came to Han Gongci Temple, the streets were already clean—because I heard that Australians put the most emphasis on "environmental hygiene", they had already cleaned the streets and poured clean water on them—there was only loess padding the roads. up.

It all shows that the efficiency of the government at the end of the government is poor, and it doesn't look bad at all!Xie Erren nodded secretly,
Not only has the street been "cleaned", but several directors of the aftermath bureau who are particularly fawning and the "paijia" of the workshop have also come to "greet" and "stand on shift" by the side of the road after hearing the news.

However, this Duke Han’s Temple disappointed him a little bit—probably because he was used to seeing all kinds of magnificent “fake ancient buildings” reconstructed in old time and space, and his expectations were always too high. The Duke Han in front of him Although there is an archway in front of the temple, it looks like an ordinary residential courtyard!Although it is a brick building, it can be seen that it has been in disrepair for a long time.The plaques and couplets have weathered and peeled off a lot, and the handwriting is blurred.

Entering the ancestral hall, there are towering ancient trees inside. He Dongli said that these trees are more than a hundred years old, and one of them is said to have been planted by Wang Shouren.

"Wang Yangming has been here too?" Xie Erren was surprised again.

He Dongli said: "Mr. Yangming was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi during the Jiajing period. The Yangming Building on the east gate was built by the successor Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Mr. Lin Fulin to commemorate him."

Xie Erren admired Wang Shouren quite a lot. When he heard that he had been the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi here, he secretly regretted that he hadn't carefully read the manual compiled by the Intelligence Bureau and the Great Library.He hurriedly asked, "Does Mr. Yangming have any relics here?"

"There is an ancestral hall for the four sages in the city, and one of them is dedicated to Mr. Yangming..."

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

He Dongli thought that this Australian respected the sages of Ming Dynasty very much!Immediately, he said a few more words to comment on Xinxue, but Xie Erren didn't expect that Xie Erren didn't respond at all, and couldn't explain why—obviously he didn't understand.

The ancestral hall is just a courtyard with three main rooms.There is nothing special about Han Yong's altar enshrined in the middle, and there are no such decorations as "display of deeds" and "exhibition of celebrity items" in the old time and space, so I feel a little disappointed.

Xie Youren saw that although the building was a little dilapidated, it was cleaned up. After asking, he found out that there was no guard here, and only the residents living in the courtyard behind the ancestral hall were responsible for guarding and cleaning.The family heard from the yamen servant that "the magistrate of the Great Song Dynasty" came to offer incense, and the patriarch brought his son out to "greet" him, and invited him to "sit for a while and serve tea".

"No need, I'm just here to pay respects and show my heart." Xie Erren waved his hand.

Hearing that the "Master Zhifu" wanted to offer incense, the father and son hurriedly arranged the three things about the bottle furnace and prepared to sell the incense.Xie Youren stood in front of the memorial tablet, offering incense and bowing like a ritual.It is rare for people to bow and salute.

He Dongli and the gentry from the aftermath bureau who heard the news were a little puzzled. This Australian lord patrolled the whole city, not looking at the treasury, and not at the culture, education and people's livelihood. What is the number of offering incense in Yong Temple?But this is not uncommon: because the county magistrate and magistrate take office, worshiping gods everywhere is also considered a due meaning.Only a few people thought of the recent news of Ba Pai Yao's "rebellion"—probably Xie Zhifu used this to express his "big ambition"?
Going out of the main house, there are verandahs on the east and west sides of the yard. The walls in the corridor are covered with ink stains. When you walk in, you can see that there are various poems on the walls.It's just that as time goes by, many of them can no longer be seen clearly.He used to be good at poetry, but now he picked up the handwriting that was fairly clear and read one by one.

Most of the inscriptions on the wall were inscribed, but most of them were people that Xie Erren didn't know, and they were probably nothing more than officials in Wuzhou or local or passing literati.There are good ones, but most of them can only be regarded as mediocre.After seeing it, I suddenly saw a familiar name: Zhu Yunming.

Zhu Yunming, Xie Youren, knew him better than the "Four Great Talents in the South of the Yangtze River".He vaguely remembered that Zhu Yunming had also been an official in Guangdong - unexpectedly he had also been to Wuzhou!Looking at the title poem again, it is a seven-character regulated poem, which rhymes with hemp.

Feng He and Gu Xian's deputy Wuzhou pay a visit to the ancestral hall of Han Gong in Du Xian
Build the emperor's house with a lot of material, relying on Tianxiong to slightly worm the sand.Sincerely return to Wei Que's heart hangs on a stone, and the blood of the Xiongnu breaks the guts.

In the middle of the night, at the Kunlun Privy Council Banquet, three words of Yi Yifu Boche.At that time, where is Likou now?

As far as poetry is concerned, it is not top grade, but the word Fubo in this poem is very suitable to his appetite. He thinks it is a good omen, even the news of the Ba Pai Yao riot, the lack of troops, and the instability of the rear are all unimportant. Feel troubled.

"These wall poems are the precious cultural heritage of Wuzhou, so we should protect them well."

People don't know what "cultural heritage" is, but "heritage" is still understood. Obviously, prefect Xie attaches great importance to these poems on the wall.The local deck armor was quick-witted, and he could see that Zhu Yunming's song was the most important to him, so he silently remembered it in his heart.

When Xie Erren said such a sentence, everyone naturally echoed.

Xie Erren came out of the Hangong Temple and then went to the Sixian Temple, generally saluting like a note.Seeing that he respected the local sages very much, He Dongli suggested that he should go to the "Dragon Mother Temple" to offer incense.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as seventeen ancient temples in the city of Wuzhou, including Chenghuang Temple, Guandi Temple, Xuanwu Temple, and Wuxian Temple, but the oldest temple is the Dragon Mother Temple, and the most popular temple is also the Dragon Mother Temple.

There has always been a dragon mother belief in the Xijiang River Basin, with a very long history.Since the Jin Dynasty, legends about the life experience of Dragon Mother have been included in the local annals.

It is said that the mother of Long, surnamed Wen, was born in the time of King Huai of Chu, and was born in Xiaotongfang, Shuidong, the capital of Teng County, Guangxi.

Legend has it that the mother of the dragon once adopted five little dragons. Later, with the help of the five little dragons, she led the villagers to divert mountains and divert water, control floods, benefit the people, and let everyone live a prosperous life.Therefore, Wen's family was honored as "Dragon Mother" by the people in the Xijiang River Basin, and became the "goddess" who benefited the people and kept them safe.

The legend of Dragon Mother is particularly developed in the Xijiang River Basin. According to several Taoist priests of New Taoism, the legend of Dragon Mother and Mazu have similarities.

Since the Song Dynasty, due to the increasing number of believers, the worship of Dragon Mother has been included in the official sacrifices, and the worship of Dragon Mother has gradually risen in various parts of Lingnan.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the belief in Dragon Mother became more and more popular among the people and spread to the surrounding areas of Lingnan, and Dragon Mother gradually became a water god with unique Lingnan characteristics.

The people in the Xijiang River Basin and those who went to the southeast coast and Southeast Asia to make a living still remember the kindness of Dragon Mother from generation to generation.Since the Dragon Mother is the god of the river, the Dragon Mother Temples were all built on the riverside. In the old days, there were many Dragon Mother Temples in the counties along the Xijiang River, as the "Dragon Mother Palace".The common people come to the temple to offer sacrifices every year, hoping that the weather will be smooth and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

Xie Youren had read about the worship of Dragon Mother in the "Wuzhou Situation Handbook".Knowing the status of Dragon Mother in the hearts of the people of Wuzhou, there is nothing wrong with going there for incense and also to win over the feelings of the people.
