However, people have not forgotten that Wu Kang is an ancient county with a history of more than 1700 years, so they use the famous streets in Yong 'an, the famous squares in Yu Ying, Qian Qiu Square and Chunhui Park to pursue history and burn their memories of this ancient county.
The discovery of the ruins of Yong 'an ancient city makes up for the lack of Wu Kang's historical material culture, and realizes the continuation of the history of the new city and the ancient city from the perspective of cultural relics. The protection and utilization of Yong 'an ancient city will certainly enhance the cultural taste of Wu Kang and add luster to Xinxian County.
The picture shows the panorama of Yong 'an ancient city site.
As the seat of ancient Wu Kang County, the site of Yong 'an Ancient City has a history of 1700 years.
Many local chronicles record some precious historical materials. From these fragmentary words, we can verify the evolution and changes of Yong 'an ancient city, and gradually outline its past outline, thus providing the best evidence for the determination of its former site.
In the first year of Wu (222), Yong 'an County was formally established, which should be the beginning of the county establishment in Wu Kang.
The Records of Yuanhe County in the Tang Dynasty recorded: "(Wu) Emperor divided Wucheng into Yong 'an County. "
The place name of Jin Dynasty was changed to Yi Yongkang, and later changed to Wu Kang, which has been used all the time, but the administrative division has not changed, and it was assigned to Xing Wu County.
Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" contains: "In the first year of Jin Taikang (280), Yong 'an County was changed to Yongkang, seeking to change Wu Kang.
Belongs to Xing Wu County.
The name of Wu Kang county began. Yu Yingzhi in the Southern Song Dynasty clearly explained the change of county names: "Wu Jinping and Pingyang have Yong 'an County, so it was changed.
Yongkang was changed to Wu Kang, so it was also named after the year of Tonghui Emperor. Bricks unearthed from the former site of Yong 'an ancient city in Qing Dynasty.
Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" contains: "Forty miles west of the city ... the sun on Yong 'an Mountain.
After the rain, the wall collapsed, and the brick text was either "eight years of salt and peace, or' three years of Yongxing'". It is also noted: "In the vicinity of the ruins of the county, residents still call it the' back port', that is, building old city bricks." . "
From Sui Dynasty to Song Dynasty, Yong 'an ancient city experienced many changes.
Originally located in the northwest of Yinghe River, it moved to the southwest during the Sui Dynasty. More than a hundred years later, it was moved to the northwest by soldiers and rebuilt at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although the ancient city of Yong 'an has been destroyed and built repeatedly, its landscape has remained basically unchanged.
It reached its initial prosperity immediately after reconstruction.
Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" says: "Yong 'an City is in the north of Yu Yingxi.
In the second year of Sui Renshou (602), Su Lun moved to the southwest.
In the first year of Tang Guangde (763), Yuan Chaoda was in chaos and was destroyed by soldiers.
In the second year (764), left-back Cao joined the army to rebuild Qingcheng ... in Xibei.
Tongxian Mountain is surrounded by water on three sides and is a moat.
There are four doors, with the words "good fortune" in the east, "Chaoen" in the south, "Huai 'an" in the west and "Plain" in the north.
At the end of Song Jianyian (1127-1130), he learned that he had been destroyed by the soldiers.
In the second year of Shaoxing (1 132), the old site was rebuilt and the laws and regulations were restored. "It also said:" In the second year of Guangde ... the rebellion in Yuan Chao, ... the residents of Guo County were reduced to ashes.
Clean up the rubble and thorns in the field, create a house, hold a meeting to die, and understand its old days before it expires.
The older you get, the richer you get. "
At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, due to the short-term separatist regime of Zhang Shicheng, the ancient city of Yong 'an experienced military destruction and reconstruction again.
Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" contains: "... In the first year of the King of Wu ... after the war, Danli was established, and its regulations were brand-new." At this point, Wu Kang county gradually moved to the southeast and moved to the north of Qianqiu Bridge in Wukang.
Yong' an ancient city is blessed with unique mountains and rivers, unique people and unique sense of security.
Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" contains that "Wu Kang is a famous city in the Six Dynasties, rich in stone, and a county." It can be seen from the "The Story of the East Hall" written by Mao Kun, a county magistrate in the Northern Song Dynasty that the splendor of the "offering hall" in the county magistrate's mansion even exceeds that of Huzhou secretariat: "The name of the building is Shengyuan, the name of the painting boat is Zhai, the name of the hall, the name of the pavilion, the name of Yangchun, the name of the dock and the name of the butterfly".
Alone in the west window of Yangchun, there are the most mountains. "The names of these exquisite wonders easily remind us of the Jiangnan garden landscape with pavilions and winding paths.
From the historical data, we can also preliminarily infer the face of the ancient city of Yong 'an.
"Yu Yingzhi" contains: "Tongguan Mountain was originally named Wukangshan. In the first year of Jin Taikang, Pingwu and Yongan County were changed to Yongkang and Wu Kang. This county is named after this mountain.
In the sixth year of Tang Tianbao, Shanshi was renamed Bronze Officer. "
The entry "Tongguan Mountain" in Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" reads: "It is fifteen miles northwest of the county, 350 feet high, and seven miles in the week.
The real name is Wukangshan, which is named after gold.
World legend: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mined copper here.
Tang Tianbao changed his name in six years. "
The entry "Yong 'an Mountain" in Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" reads: "Fifty miles west of the county seat, there is a Yinshan Mountain.
Seventy feet tall, on Thursday.
Anxian County, Wu Zhiyong is here. "
Qing Daoguang's "Wu Kang County Records" contains: "The county governs Wuli Yinshan Mountain, which is now in the west.
Yinshan was originally named Yong 'an, hence its name. "
