Chapter 872 Corrigendum of Local History
Xiang Yu said: "There are several old lychee trees on the hill behind my house."
"That's right, there are no lychees in Manzhou, only longans, and we only have them in Jiachuan. There are both lychee forest and Tuomin society in Yang Sheng'an's poems, so it must be Old Luzhou." Wei Fei also nodded.
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Anyway, if we study the history of Manzhou, we will find that in the years of war and chaos, the old Luzhou, whose military advantages outweighed its economic advantages, will be valued. years of things Here, New Luzhou, whose economic advantages outweigh its military advantages, will be taken seriously."
"It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It depends on the time at that time whether seeking advantages is the first priority or avoiding disadvantages. .”
"Let me sing "Lushui Qing" for you. It was approved by Chenggong of the Song Dynasty."
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the rim of the bowl, and started singing:
"Lushui" Clear, as clear as Lushui The mirror is flat.
The river flows from Shu to the west, and the inner river is like a pheasant.
The two rivers are joined by hundreds of pheasants, and the exterior and interior are divided, just like a household with limited teeth and lips. >
Yunnan and Yelang are neighbors to the east and west.
The dangers of mountains and rivers are guarded by people, and Marquis Wu’s arrogance will last forever..."
The poem is very long, Zhou Zhi sang it using the skill of chanting and roaring, and experienced a historical journey Friends, after hearing such poems, they can't help but have a deeper understanding.
"Write the elbow of Yangsheng Temple on the wall for me later. After listening to the song, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "I always feel that he is writing about my family!" "
"It is indeed possible. Maybe my ancestor received him during the Ming Dynasty. "Zhou Zhi also laughed: "It also made him understand the true origin of 'Sanlu'. ”
There are many theories about the origin of Manzhou being called "Sanlu". Some say that during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Manzhou moved its state governance three times; some say that Manzhou was divided into three areas by two rivers in tradition; Some say that the ancient barbarian state had three traditional counties under its jurisdiction, etc., but there are different opinions.
Zhou Zhi didn’t know exactly what Yang Shen said when he heard it, and then he said in the poem that he understood it.
Walking north along the red mud path on the ridge for six or seven miles, it didn’t take long before we arrived at the Daguan City built of red stone.
This place is inaccessible, and you need to walk about ten miles north to reach a town called Jiaotan.
However, Zhou Zhi looked around and found a big problem. There was no trace of Tuojiang here.
This is the highest point of Longtou Mountain, called Mazongding. If you stand at the critical moment and look closely at both sides, you will find that this wall actually seals the peninsula where the Yangtze River bends and flows out, forming the outer wall of the Divine Arm City. , but it has nothing to do with Tuojiang.
Opening the map again and checking it, Zhou Zhi put his hand on his forehead: "I guess the ancients recorded the information wrong! If this is Longtouguan, then it cannot be the city wall connecting Tuomin."
Fang Wenyu drew a line on the map with his fingernail: "If there is really a city wall connecting Tuomin, it should be like this, but it is Jiangyang City that is locked up. ! "
"Yes! It is possible that when Zhou Xiling of the Qing Dynasty rebuilt the old pass wall of the Ming Dynasty, he found the name Longtuguan in an ancient book, so he regarded the old pass to the west of Jiangyang City as Gulongtou. Pass, the name was used there.”
“Actually, the real Longtou Pass must refer to the pass on Longtou Mountain, so it can only be here,” Xiang Yu said.
"By the way, where is the "Inscription on the New Divine Arm Pass" that my godfather found?" Zhou Zhi asked.
“At the bottom of the mountain.”
“Let’s go and have a look!”
When I saw the stone tablet in the weeds at the bottom of the mountain, I couldn’t help laughing after careful study. Said: "It turns out they are a bunch of fools!"
"How do you say it?" Zhang Lu asked. Zhou Zhi pointed to a place on the stele: "This stele was erected in the wrong place. Look at what is written here... The Divine Arm Pass is the throat of Zhongshan Mountain, and there is no way to reach it. There is only a line leading in and out."
"This is wrong, because if the wall is really locked and locked, as the inscription says, Zhongshan should not be here at all, but should be in Jiangyang."
"But Jiangyang's pass has nothing to do with the Divine Arm City, so it shouldn't be called the Divine Arm Pass at all!"
Xiang Yu smoothed things over. : "In other words, Shenju Pass was built on Longtou Mountain, so Shenji Pass and Longtou Pass are actually the same thing."
"That official in the Qing Dynasty took the pass at the bottom of Zhongshan Mountain It was thought that it was Long Touguan, but the reason lies in this monument, because there was already a mistake on it, that is, Zhongshan Throat was mistaken for Divine Arm Pass.”
"Yes!" Zhou Zhi was delighted: "The funniest thing is that not only was this inscription wrong, but it was also erected in the wrong place!"
"I guess this inscription should have been commissioned by someone from the capital in the late Ming Dynasty. It was written by a big boss, and the big boss doesn’t know what’s going on in Manzhou. The specific location of the pass was written back as "God's Arm Pass". "
"The people here got the article and made it a monument, but because of the three words "God's Arm Pass" written on it. After saying this, he took the stone tablet that was supposed to be erected under the Zhongshan Pass. Stand here!"
"Hey! This is a mistake, it's complicated!" Fang Wenyu patted the stone tablet and said with a smile: "A mystery was solved today!"
Zhou Zhi clasped his chin: "You have to talk to your godfather about this when you get back. He said, I remember that Zhou Xiling's statement was used in the county annals, but I didn't know that even the description on the monument he quoted was confusing! We have to make a supplement in the county annals, so that future generations can't see it again. Confused.”
"This is really..." Xiang Yu was a bit dumbfounded: "No wonder Yang Shen said that 'Sanlu's name has been falsified through the ages'. It seems that he is really not being modest!"
"In fact, we can't blame the ancients. Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Although it is relatively early to govern the prefectures and counties in this area, in the long run They were all in a state of barbarism. Until the Song Dynasty, this area was occupied by the Luzhou Wuman. During the reigns of Zhenzong and Shenzong in the Song Dynasty, the Luman people in Jiang'an County rebelled at times, causing trouble for decades. "
"Not to mention here, even Qianzhong and Jinghu are inhabited by barbarians. It was not until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty that the southwestern chieftain system was completely abolished, the natives were returned to their hometowns, and the restriction of "Barbarians were not allowed to leave the cave, and Han were not allowed to enter" was effectively controlled."
"Therefore, the Ming Dynasty. People don't know what's going on with the levels here. It's normal, because for them, this place is almost a new land, surrounded by ethnic minority areas."
"If it weren't for the 300,000 people that Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and Mu Yingshuai came to. Yunnan, this is the border wilderness.”
"Now we can only count the mainland here." Xiang Yu said: "Our ancestors were very pioneering and enterprising."
This topic was a bit difficult to discuss, so Zhou Zhi had to find another one: "You said you would take us Where is the good food you are looking for?"
Xiang Yu took a few boys into a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain: "The insects have become fat recently. They are all big."
< br>Yang He immediately became excited: "Can it be cut? Many places are covered, so you can't mess with it."
"It's covered, but it's done by my family. I remove the pests at home, so there's nothing wrong with it." Yeah." Xiang Yu didn't feel sad about the so-called "pest" at all. Instead, he looked like he was picking up good food: "Monk You must be an expert. Let's look for it separately."
"What are you looking for?" Fang Wenyu and Zhang Lu asked without understanding.
Zhou Zhi didn't understand either: "Have bamboo insects turned into beetles by now? Can you catch them?"
"It's not a beetle." Yang He said, "Usually from September to February Yes, the first batch of bamboo maggots should be edible now."
"Nonsense. "Tao!" Zhou Zhi immediately scolded: "What a bamboo maggot, I'll give you a waste of good ingredients! Call me Bamboo Bee! Otherwise the girls should stop eating."
"Okay, okay, bamboo maggots." Bees are bamboo bees. Since you can do whatever you want, I won’t be polite..."
