Chapter 1459 Huanhou Temple
Near Shibaozhai, there is also the ruins of Huanghua City. Like the Divine Arm City in Jiachuan, it was also part of the Southern Song Dynasty's river defense project during the Song and Yuan wars, but this is all mountain cities , the only "island-shaped" city site.
In the first year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhongzhou was promoted to Xianchun Prefecture because it was a feudal vassal of Duzong. The government was moved to this island and renamed "Huanghua".
However, in the Three Gorges Project, this can only be regarded as a corner. The main thing is to first explore the part of the area that will be submerged in Luoyang, and to have a detailed and in-depth grasp of the layout, structure and evolution of the city site. Now It’s still too late to do anything.
So the foundation did not go to that island, but continued directly down the river.
Passing through Wanxian and Yunyang along the road, you can reach Fengjie, the official entrance to the Three Gorges.
The history of Wanxian County is very long. The Xia Dynasty belonged to Liangzhou, and the Shang and Zhou Dynasties belonged to the territory of Yongguo. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it belonged to Bachu successively.
In the Song Dynasty, this area belonged to Xiaxi Road, Chuanxia Road, and Kuizhou Road. It began to become the gateway to Bashu and a prosperous place where "thousands of merchants gathered and hundreds of companies competed".
However, belonging to the "Three Gorges Reservoir Area Cultural Relics Rescue and Protection Project", there is only one Tianqiu Tomb Group in Wuling Town and a tomb jointly buried by Ran Rencai and his wife, the governor of the early Tang Dynasty.
Currently, we have unearthed gray pottery kitchen figurines from the Eastern Han Dynasty, celadon Hu warrior figurines from the Tang Dynasty, bronze swords with tiger patterns from the Warring States Period, stone mill fans decorated with dragons from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Wang's "Ten Millions a Day" copper square kettles, etc. cultural relics.
But generally speaking, the amount of projects in Wanzhou in this area is not large. Zhou Zhi and his party only listened to a general introduction to the Cultural Preservation Institute on the inspection ship, and did not even get off the ship. However, from their mouths, they also learned that the focus of this place is not on cultural preservation. projects, but to admit immigrants.
Last year, the country officially promulgated the "Regulations on Immigration for the Construction of the Three Gorges Project in the Yangtze River", marking the beginning of the Three Gorges immigration.
This is a huge project that lasted 17 years and relocated 1.31 million people. Its long time span and arduous and numerous tasks are unprecedented in the history of water conservancy construction and engineering immigration at home and abroad.
Here Zhou Zhi and his party learned that in the end, among the millions of immigrants, most of them were resettled in the back-country and in the province, and some moved to Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other economies. More developed areas along rivers and coastal areas.
Wanzhou, located in the heart of the reservoir area, plans to accept more than 260,000 relocated people, accounting for one-quarter of the total in Yuzhou and one-fifth of the total in the reservoir area. , will become the first immigration area for the Three Gorges immigrants.
Now the local cadres are all very busy, so Zhou Zhi and the others don't want to disturb him too much, and leave in a hurry after listening to the report.
Yunyang is different.
Yunyang and Wanxian have similar histories, but Yunyang has too many important cultural relics.
There are 145 ancient buildings, ancient ruins, ancient tombs, stone sculptures and other cultural relics listed in the "National Cultural Relics Distribution Map", including one national-level cultural relics protection unit and one provincial-level protection unit. There are three units and sixteen county-level cultural relics protection units.
And most of them are below the submergence line and require rescue excavation or relocation.
The biggest move is the Zhang Huanhou Temple, which will be relocated as a whole over a long distance. "The tower is high against the Phoenix Mountain, and the honors of heroes are not easy to climb. The world is divided into three parts to support the Han Dynasty, and the army is angry and Yan Yan is angry. The warm waves of the Shu River bathe the sand gulls, and the cold wind of Chu clears the war and the army is idle. It has been passed down through the ages that the power of heavy soil can be long-lasting. The fragrance lingers in the green space. "
Zhang Huanhou Temple is called Zhang Fei Temple among the people, but its earliest name was actually "Xianzhong Temple".
There is a legend that Zhang Fei was "buried with his body in Langzhong and his head in Yunyang". It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, when Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, Zhang Fei was stationed in Langzhong, Sichuan. After hearing the bad news, the emergency department will be dispatched in three days Nei Guaxiao went out to avenge Guan Yu.
The generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da were unable to return to their lives as scheduled, and they were afraid of Zhang Fei's power, so they killed Zhang Fei while he was drunk and lying down, took off his head and went straight to Soochow, and threw the head into the Yangtze River.
In the evening of that day, an old fisherman picked up Zhang Fei's head and a pot of gold while fishing. In his dream, he was entrusted by Zhang Fei to bury his head at the foot of Feifeng Mountain on the other side of Yunyang County. The pot of gold was used to invite people to gather. Poor people built the earliest temples.
Because of Zhang Fei's righteousness and bravery, he has always been respected by the people. After the temple was built, every time Zhang Fei's birthday was on the 28th day of the eighth lunar month, everyone would come to hold sacrifices and temple fairs, and gradually formed a certain Due to its scale and influence, literati came here to pay homage and left behind poems and songs. The temple also expanded and became bigger and bigger.
This is also an important scenic spot on the Three Gorges. It is a nationally protected historical building. When boating on the river, you can see the buildings on the huge cliffs on the river bank from a distance.
The building complex is shaded from the sun, surrounded by the lush green Phoenix Mountain and Pipa Mountain. They are built on top of each other, and the palaces are majestic and majestic. The green tiles of the red tower reflect the river flow, and the tail of the gull with fire beads touches the blue sky.
On the wall of the temple facing the river, the four characters "Fengqing on the River" written by Peng Juxing, a famous calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty, are solemn and solemn. Each character is two meters square. Even on the other side of the Yangtze River, the handwriting is clearly visible. It shows the skill.
Along the steep stone steps all the way up, the landscape gardens and temple buildings are integrated and set off each other. Outside the temple, there are yellow oak staircases, stone bridges, streams, waterfalls, ponds, vines, thatched pavilions near the stream, steep rocks and ancient trees, which are beautiful, clear and fragrant. Array makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Enter the temple, there are ancient buildings such as Jieyi Tower, Book Gallery, Main Hall, Zhufeng Pavilion, Wangyun Pavilion, Dujuan Pavilion, Tingtao Pavilion, etc. The layout is rigorous, layered and unique. It has the majestic magnificence of northern architecture and the handsome texture of southern architecture. There are also landscape touches, bamboo trees and winding paths, which make tourists linger here.
However, there are many Shu capitals with this kind of pattern. My friends have all seen the world and are not very interested in these.
But the sculptures in the temple are so exquisite, especially the clay sculpture of Zhang Fei, with a leaping horse and a spear, a stretched beard, and wide eyes. It is different from the statues in many temples and Taoist temples, although the overall comparison It is one size larger than an ordinary person, but it is completely shaped according to the proportions and structure of the human body. Although some parts are slightly exaggerated, they are all within a reasonable range. The main character is strong and majestic, but still lifelike.
“Amazing!” Fang Wenyu, who studied medicine, Wei Fei, who studied architecture, and Zhou Zhi, who studied literature, all couldn’t help but praise. The artistic level of this statue was so high that this loyal A reckless man whose righteousness and courage will last forever is brought to life.
Moreover, the design of this statue is also very unique. It is placed in the main hall on the third floor of Jieyi Building. Visitors come up from the verandah, book gallery, main hall, famous calligraphy and painting wood carvings on the first floor of Jieyi Building, and the three Jieyi statues on the second floor, and then go to the third floor. After passing the stairs, when I suddenly saw this fierce general, I couldn't help being frightened. When I calmed down, I couldn't help but cheer.
Countless people couldn't help but bow devoutly and pray for the blessing of this famous general of the Three Kingdoms.
After visiting Huanhou Temple, everyone had a deeper understanding of the place. Jiang Shuyi asked in a low voice with some worry: "Everyone of such a large place has to be moved? How can we ensure that it is restored to its original state? Now?"
"The answer is in that building." Li Laosan pointed to an ancient red building hidden among the trees on the west side of the hillside. The plaque on the building read "Wangyun Tower". A big character.
