Chapter 890 Guan Sheng
"Uh..." Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment: "There may be several places. When Huang Tingjian came to Yizhou, he was still staying in Nansi. He was in a depressed mood at the time and once called it '槁木寮', ' Death Hui'an'"
"Then my mood changed. Then, a spring was discovered. A local family named Yao used it to make wine and called it 'Yao Zi Xue Qu'. Huang Tingjian liked the spring water very much and named the spring 'An Le Quan' and wrote a specially written poem 'An Le Quan Fu'. . And 'Yao Zixue Qu' is said to be the predecessor of Wuliangye."
"In addition. There is also the 'Suojiang Pavilion'. Historical records indicate that the Suojiang Pavilion is located behind the Suojiang Stone, which itself is a giant stone on the edge of the Minjiang River. In the second year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, Rongzhou Bodao City was moved to the north of Shangjiang River. An iron chain was erected on the Minjiang River here to prevent the southern minority regime from attacking by boat. This stone came from this "It got its name."
"Later it developed into a customs office. Because of the beautiful scenery, Huang Tingjian often went there to drink and enjoy the river view. He left dozens of volumes of articles here, eighty Among the many poems, there must be five or six that involve 'Suojiang Pavilion'."
"Later, Huang Tingjian and Yizhou became associated. Any literati who came to Yizhou would definitely leave poems in memory of Huang Tingjian. Gradually, Huang Tingjian became a cultural symbol of Yizhou, and later generations built a memorial in his honor. The most famous one among the inscriptions and buildings is Diaohuang Tower.”
“But I don’t know if these places are still there.”
“The elbow is amazing... ..." Liu Tao sighed: "It's not a soil He can tell so many things."
"What's so great about it?" Xiong Jiao said with a smile: "He didn't even mention the most famous Liubei Pond in Yizhou."
"Yes." Zhou Zhi said: "Rong There is a record in the county annals: The county city crosses the river to the north, and the rocks are cracked and the cracks are curved like caves. When I was exiled in the Huangshan Valley, I had a pavilion on it to draw water. Looking eastward, I saw the ripples of the sails in the river. All visible.”
"Liubichi should be under the Suojiang Rock. Are all these places still there?"
Liu Tao smiled and said: "The park opposite the square used to be Beijiao Park, but now it has been renamed Liubeichi Park. Inside the park There is a small valley, and in the valley is Liubeichi, halfway up the mountain from the valley passage, you can see the Minjiang River. There are two words "Suojiang" and two small words "Valley" on the side of the river. "
"Huang Tingjian is also known as Huangshan Valley. , 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 have fun anywhere."
"It would be more worthwhile if I could write another article like "Travel Notes on Wangcong Temple"." Zhang Xinyi said.
As soon as they left, everyone got up and walked towards the park.
The park is actually a valley in the mountains. This mountain is separated from the Minjiang River and Jiangbei, forming a natural "city wall".
A valley connects the riverside and the exit of the park. In ancient times, this was a checkpoint for entering the city from the Minjiang River. It is estimated that this checkpoint generated a lot of revenue for Yizhou City, so even the name is "Cuke Mountain".
Ke means "Ke Pei", which is a special tax in ancient times, and DU Ke means to collect special taxes.
There are many attractions along the way.
First, I saw the legendary general station where Zhuge Liang gathered his troops before his expedition. From the introduction, it was said that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, went south to conquer Menghuo. He led his army down the Minjiang River and passed through Bodao. He set up camp here and deduced the story. In the art of war, eight formations were practiced, and a well was dug under the stage for the soldiers and horses to drink.
This well is shaped like a Eight Diagrams, and the water is like a spring, cool and sweet. After Zhuge Liang returned to Shu after his southern expedition, the well was left for the world to enjoy, so it was called Kongming Well.
In fact, the well itself is not that great. The key is that the surrounding stone sculptures are quite impressive.
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 a two-sided ear wall about four meters high.
The screen wall is decorated with six ancient stone carvings. The entire scenic spot is antique, with tiles, warped corners, screen walls, stone carvings, ancient wells, guardrails, and stone drums. The layout is rigorous and fascinating. "What are these paintings about?" 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 carving, and it should be from the Ming Dynasty."
"The one below is about It's a little later. The one from the Qing Dynasty is called "Luxury and Longevity". The two on the left and right are called ear walls. The stone carvings on them are also from the Ming Dynasty. They are divided into two. Especially the 'Double Lions Playing with Balls' and the 'Flowers Blooming' for Birthdays."
"These are decorations used by large families in ancient times, indicating that this well may have been included as the private property of some people. ”
In addition to the Dianjiang Terrace and Kongming Well, there is also the Guandi Temple and the Prime Minister’s Temple.
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. It has not been restored and is relatively dilapidated. There is a very distinctive thing in front of it. It is a giant inkstone with a diameter of more than four meters. It is carved from a native boulder. The inkstone The sides are engraved with auspicious patterns such as two dragons grabbing treasures and fish in successive years.
"This is also an old thing, from the Ming Dynasty. It must be at least a prefecture-level protected cultural relic." Zhou Zhi looked at the introduction: "Oh, this is still 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.
“Local chronicles record that on days when the sky was clear and cloudless, if there was water in the inkstone, it would shadow the White Pagoda on the East Mountain, the Black Pagoda on the Qixing Mountain on the South Bank, and the Jiuzhou Pagoda on the Minjiang River. , are reflected in the weight of the inkstone, just like three pens dipping in ink, which is called 'Bi Dian Dan Po'."
Zhang Lu looked around: "Where is the tower?"
"I'm afraid it's gone." Fang Wenyu said.
"It's actually just a mirror reflection," Wei Fei said: "The ancients thought it was magical, and we as modern people don't need to make a fuss."
"What you said makes sense, but I still want to chatting "Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Let's go and see the Guandi Temple. It's very grand."
What Zhou Zhi calls grand is that the Prime Minister's Temple became the front hall of the Guandi Temple, and the civil servants gave it to the generals. Guarding the door, there is probably only one place in the world.
When you enter the temple, you realize that it is a courtyard of its own, with green tiles and red walls, towering trees, and green bamboos surrounding it.
The palace is not big. Inside the palace, Guan Yu is solemn and solemn, with Guan Ping and Zhou Cang standing on both sides. The ancient stone pagoda incense burner outside the hall is filled with green smoke, and the stone flower watch stands proudly, adding a bit of solemnity.
On the contrary, there are more than ten plaques and couplets collected in the temple from Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and other emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
Among them, Zhou Zhi felt that the best one was "Aiming in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius did not see a strong person; Qi blocked the heaven and earth, and Master Meng called it awe-inspiring."
"The reason why I say this The couplet is done well because it believes that Guan Yu embodies two important concepts of Confucianism and writes the reasons for his sainthood.”
