Chapter 1486 Gezhouba
"So you think, which of these projects can be cut down and used to move the city wall of Hulu City?" Zhou Zhi and others finished listing the projects: "Which project here is not a hundred times more important than Hulu City?"
"Then let me make one last request." After hearing this, Lao Chen The family's list was powerless to refute, and they repeatedly handed over to several people: "Deng Zhi's tomb, no matter what, this tomb must be moved."
"Deng Zhi of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Zhou Zhi was shocked: " Isn’t his tomb in Taining, Fujian Province?”
“Who?” Lao Chen was confused by Zhou Zhi.
"Deng Zhi, who initially served as the deputy envoy of Jiedu under the King of Minyue, and later joined Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty." Zhou Zhi said: "Deng Zhi was designed by Li Jing to be put on death row on the grounds of delaying military flights. Yan, who was the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty at the time, They continued to try to bail him out and took Deng Zhi secretly after he was released from prison. The family members fled. Li Jing investigated Deng Zhi's absconding. After the incident, Yan Xu was imprisoned and his entire family was executed."
"Fortunately, the imprisoned officer Zhao Yuande released him secretly, so he fled to Feiyuan alone. Ling shaved his hair and became a monk."
"After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the founding of the Song Dynasty by Taizu of the Song Dynasty, all the old civil and military ministers of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were granted official positions and received salaries according to their merits. Both Deng Zhi and Yan Xu were properly placed."
"Deng Zhi repayed Yan Xu's favor. The life-saving grace was given to a daughter who was only 18 years old. She gave Yan Xu, who was fifty-eight years old at that time, as his wife to have heirs."
"This was a major event in the history of the Five Dynasties. If it hadn't been like this, with the two men's literary, Taoist and military strategies, the Southern Tang Dynasty would have been the same. It may not perish so quickly.”
"Well... the Deng Zhi we have here was born in the Renzi year of Yongzheng and died in the Yimao year of Qianlong. The tomb was built in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong."
"That doesn't mean anything. ..." Zhou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. If it is really the tomb of Deng Zhi of the Fifth Dynasty, then the foundation did not do its job well and made a major mistake in not including it. Now that he heard that it belongs to the Qianlong Dynasty, he immediately became less nervous. .
Then I thought I was wrong, and I counted with my fingers: "Huh? The year of Renzi of Yongzheng is 1732, the year of Yimao of Qianlong is 1795, and the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong is 1792. ”
< br>"Yes, the construction of the tomb began three years before his death, so the scale of this tomb is extraordinary!" Lao Chen said: "This tomb consists of a tomb city, a pavilion, a pillar, and a tomb. The tomb city is , 11 meters wide from east to west, and deep from north to south It is more than 15 meters long and covers an area of more than 300 square meters. There is a doorway and steps in the middle of the north. The city wall is made of stone barriers with a height of one to three meters. The pavilion, pillars, and tombs are in the tomb city. The base of the column is drum-shaped, the column is nearly square, high Three meters, with diameters of 60 centimeters and 30 centimeters respectively. "
"The four corners of the pavilion are square stone pillars, and there is a square stele in the middle. There are words on the four sides of the stele. The pavilion is three meters high and the surrounding stone is two meters."
"The tombstone has three layers, with a residual height of 3.2 meters. There are various statues of lions, tigers, dragons, phoenixes, flowers and grasses, as well as historical and life story patterns on the tomb pillars, lintels, pavilions, incense burners, doors and railings."
“This tomb has a relatively complete shape, accurate dating, and rich stone carvings. It is very useful for studying the three of us. The tomb structures, carvings and calligraphy arts of the Qing Dynasty are all meaningful.”
Seeing Lao Chen’s eager look, Zhou Zhi already understood the meaning. When he was doing fieldwork in Jiachuan, he saw a stone cave and another. Kengji will be studied as a treasure, not to mention such a large tomb with such interest as Lao Chen said.
Similar tombs have good remains in some places in central Sichuan, such as Bazhong, which is similar to Beimang Mountain on Kuizhou Road. Many ancient tombs with exquisite and grand structures are located in the vast mountains. , it’s really difficult to protect.
Those large tombs have been visited by too many tomb robbers throughout the ages, and almost everything inside has been stolen. But now, some people have begun to reach out to the above-ground buildings, such as the heads of stone statues and carvings. Exquisite towers, such as those on the Guanzhong Plain, were even carried away by tomb robbers using trucks and cranes, which can be described as extremely arrogant. "Let's do this," Zhou Zhi flipped through Lao Chen's introduction to Deng Zhi's tomb, and looked at Lin Wanqiu and Li Laosan: "Let's also add Deng Zhi's tomb, but we are only responsible for allocating funds for this matter, not too much If you want to participate, you can only leave the relocation to Lao Chen and your county, especially to obtain the understanding of the local villagers. After all, this is a tomb, which is different from ordinary ancient buildings.”
Li Laosan saw the tomb’s exquisite tomb, pavilion, and pillars, and felt in his heart that the tomb should be preserved. However, after being reminded by Zhou Zhiyi, he realized that the content underneath was still there. It’s quite complicated. Moving a tomb is of course different from moving a house.
The method provided by Zhou Zhi is indeed the best. You can't interfere too much, just give a sum of money and let the place take care of it.
Of course, this does not mean that Li Laosan is stupid, he just doesn't understand the mainland's way of dealing with similar matters.
There are too many projects in Zigui, a major cultural and cultural county. In addition to these ancient buildings that need to be moved to Fenghuang Mountain for centralized "relocation", there are also numerous valuable components in numerous old houses that are waiting to be flooded. These all require the foundation to move to the capital of Shu.
However, there is a cultural treasure unearthed in Zigui that can no longer be seen in Zigui. Because it is too precious, it must be sent to a place with better storage conditions for safekeeping.
Out of Zigui is the location of the Three Gorges Dam project. Although the start date announced by the state is early December, huge construction sites can already be seen here on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
For such a large project, the preliminary preparation work is also very cumbersome, including transportation, electricity, warehousing, food and accommodation for personnel, etc. Just mentioning any of them is a huge undertaking.
But the research ship was relatively relaxed. After the Yangtze River turned through two large bays, it passed through the majestic Xiling Gorge and arrived at Gezhouba.
Like the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project is also "adapted to local conditions" and belongs to a very special place.
The exit of the Three Gorges is about five miles downstream of Nanjinguan. After the Yangtze River leaves the Three Gorges Gorge, the water flow turns sharply from the east to the south, suddenly entering the plain terrain from the canyon terrain, and the river surface suddenly widens from 400 meters to 2,200 meters.
The poem by a poet of the Tang Dynasty perfectly describes this scene: "The mountains follow the plains and the fields end, and the river flows into the wilderness."
Due to sedimentation, two islands, Gezhouba and Xiba, were formed on the river surface, dividing the Yangtze River into the main river, the second river and the third river.
The Dajiang River is the main channel of the Yangtze River, and the Second and Third Rivers dry up during the dry season. This kind of terrain provides unique convenience for building water conservancy projects across the river.
After the river water was impounded, the water level upstream of the dam was raised by more than 20 meters, and the water was returned upstream for more than 100 kilometers, forming a man-made lake with huge water storage, which greatly improved the dangerous conditions of the Three Gorges Channel. This situation also provides the possibility for peak-shaving and valley-filling of floods in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
In order to ensure navigation, Gezhouba built three large ship locks. The No. 1 ship lock was built on the river. It is as big as two basketball courts and is larger than the famous Wilson Gate on the Tennessee River. It is also located on the Three Gorges Dam. Before the completion of such heaven-defying machinery as the "Marine Elevator", this place could be called the "No. 1 Gate in the World."
