Chapter 1484 Old Demolition Household
In fact, this mystery will be solved soon. After the Three Gorges Project raises the water level by more than 100 meters, the now elusive Bingshu Sword Cave will become Only four meters away from the water, rescue excavations will prove that the "war books" are actually three ancient Ba people's hanging coffins, and the "sword" is actually a large weathered stone.
Many cultural relics were also unearthed in the hanging coffin, including bronze spears with human figures, gourd-shaped objects, bows and arrows with bronze heads and wooden tails, and indeed a sword, but it was the one-meter-long one used by the Ba people. Bronze sword.
Ten miles into Bingshu Baojian Gorge from the Xiangxi River is Baoping Village, where Wang Zhaojun’s hometown is located. Ten miles further into it is Pingle Li, the hometown of Qu Yuan.
There is also Qujiaping nearby, which is said to be the birthplace of Qu Yuan. Now even the township where Qujiaping is located has been changed to Sanlu Township.
Due to the existence of several historical celebrities, many cultural relics are concentrated here. It is said that the name of Zigui County comes from Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was demoted, his sister returned to her hometown from Chudu because she agreed with her younger brother's views. Named "Zigui".
There are 363 immovable cultural relic sites of various types in the county, including 98 ancient ruins, 147 ancient tombs, 56 ancient buildings, 10 cave temples and stone carvings. Five places, and even 46 important modern and contemporary historical sites and representative buildings!
Among them, there is one national key cultural relics protection unit, seven provincial-level cultural relics protection units, eight municipal-level cultural relics protection units, and twenty county-level cultural relics protection units.
In addition to these, the rest, except stone carvings, tombs, and ruins, can all be included in the scope of the scientific research foundation's work.
The plan has also been formulated. Because Zigui County is almost completely flooded, the new county seat will be relocated above the 176-meter line. Represented by Qu Yuan Temple and Jiangdu Temple, the ground cultural relics with special historical value in the county will be relocated above the 176-meter line. They will be relocated to Maoping, Zigui County, Yichang.
Typical buildings such as Qingtanren Village and Xintan ancient residences will also be selectively relocated here.
In addition to Qu Yuan Temple and Jiangdu Temple, there are also Shuifu Temple, Ziguang Pavilion, Wang Ancestral Hall, Du Ancestral Hall, Zheng Shuxiang Residential House, Zheng Qiguang Residential House, Zheng Shaonian Residential House, Liu Zhenglin Residential House, Zheng Wanlang Residential House, Sanlaoye Residential House, and Peng Shuyuan Residential House. , Deng Yongqing’s residence, Youxian Zhang’s residence, Zheng Wanzhan’s residence and other ancient buildings from Xintan Village and Qingtan Village.
In addition, Qu Yuan’s hometown archway, Huiji Bridge, Jiangdu Bridge, Quzi Bridge, Qianshan Bridge, Xintan Ancient Well, Yinghe Gate, Jingxian Gate, and Xiajiang Stone Carvings will also be moved here. .
Eventually, a community of ancient buildings built around Maoping Phoenix Mountain will be formed here. Together with the surrounding natural landscape, it will eventually become a beautiful scenic spot.
Many projects have now begun. The first batch to start moving are the three Hanques discovered under the second water level line in the Three Gorges Reservoir area - Dingfangque, Wumingque, and Wuyangque.
Each Han Que weighs more than ten tons. Because the value of cultural relics is extremely high, Wuyang Que is even called a "national treasure". Therefore, it needs to be moved to a display site and then a museum is planned and built on top of it to prevent the house from building. The embarrassment of not being able to move things in after repairs.
The historical Wuyang Que was discovered in 2001 by an old farmer digging for herbal medicine. In this life, due to the intervention of the foundation, the early cultural relic inspection of the Three Gorges Project increased a lot of human and financial resources. Yang Que was also discovered in advance when the archaeological team inspected the Huadeng Tombs group.
The discovery of the other two Hanques was also in a similar situation. This kind of large-scale stone component building is the most difficult to escape systematic exploration work.
Wuyang Tower is the only Han Dynasty stone tower in the entire southern region with both its twin towers and its two main towers well preserved. The excavation site is Wuyang Town, Zhong County, which is Yan Yan’s hometown. Chongqing has not yet started construction. The Three Gorges Museum of Prefecture has finalized the C positions on both sides of the stairs in the lobby on the first floor in advance.
The same is true for Zigui. It is too close to the Three Gorges Dam and is a priority area when it is flooded. Therefore, relocation work has begun to be put on the agenda.
When I came to the Zigui County Cultural Center, I found Director Chen. The No. 1 key relocation building introduced by Director Chen was Qu Yuan Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, Zigui was called Guizhou, and the governor Wang Maoyuan built Qu Yuan Temple in the 15th year of Yuanhe in Tang Dynasty.
In the third year of Yuanfeng of Song Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty honored Qu Yuan as "Qing Lie Gong", renovated Qu Yuan Temple again and changed its name to "Qing Lie Gong Temple".
During the Taiding period of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuge Buhua, the king of Zhizhou, rebuilt it one after another in the fourth year of Zhizheng.
Wang Jingyang, the governor of the state in the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Ling Ruhuan, the governor of Hubei Province in the eleventh year of Yongzheng, Wang Peigao, the governor of the state in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, Li Xin, the governor of the state in the twenty-fifth year of Jiaqing, etc., are the officials who have presided over the administration here in the past dynasties. , they have repaired Quyuan Temple many times
In the end, Qu Yuan Temple formed a huge building complex with a building area of 5,800 square meters and an area of 20,000 square meters. It was raised step by step according to the situation of the mountain. Multiple platforms were built along the depth axis, and the mountain gates were arranged in sequence. The main sacrificial buildings such as the front hall and the back hall are supplemented by wing rooms, stele corridors, and side halls on both sides. They are magnificent and eye-catching.
Compared with the buildings on the plains in the Central Plains and the capital of Shu, this kind of building built on the mountains has well-proportioned facades and side facades, with a strong sense of layering; coupled with its coordination and unity, it is simple and simple , with the main color combination of gray, white and red; the rich variety of volcanic wall types and decorative patterns on the walls, make Qu Yuan Temple the most important of all ancient buildings to be relocated.
Then Zhou Zhi found out with laughter that Qu Yuan, an old man, had been homeless when he was alive. Even if he became a god, he could still be called an "old demolition household"!
It turns out that Qu Yuan Temple was relocated once in 1976 due to the construction of Gezhouba Project!
The only thing worth comforting Mr. Qu is that many friends will move here to accompany him this time.
Jiangdu Temple, the representative of the Xintan ancient building complex, will be relocated this time because Xintan was completely flooded.
Jiangdu Temple, also known as Yang Si Temple, is a building dedicated to General Yang Si, the water god of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
There are many legends about who the prototype of General Yang Si was, but in most legends, General Yang Si has an excellent skill - killing dragons.
So it is natural that it is located between the Yangtze River and the Xiangxi River and suppresses the water potential.
The building was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty and has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Most of the existing structures are left over from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The layout is a quadrangle, with a small courtyard in front of the foyer, a main hall, a wing, a side room and a patio. The wing has a building and a covered bridge outside the wing, covering an area of more than 800 square meters.
The value of Jiangdu Temple lies in the structure and various decorations of its houses.
The first room has a beam-lifting wooden frame, and the secondary room has a bucket-type structure. The shape of the beam is in the form of a moon beam, and the beams are connected by humps carved with Ruyi cloud patterns.
The interior of the building is exquisitely decorated, and all building components such as narrow eaves, corridors, hanging lintels with curly grass, lattice doors, carved railings, etc. are very particular.
The carvings include "Eight Immortals in Darkness", "Golden Melon Pillar", "Five Bats Holding Longevity", "Drama with Literary Stage" and so on.
