This is the hometown of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. The Dahan Dynasty, the first powerful and lasting feudal empire in the history of China, embarked on the historical stage from here and staged a vivid drama that was brilliant all over the world and had lasting charm. Whether it is the Han nationality, the main body of our Chinese family, or the Chinese characters we write and speak, it is related to this dynasty. The word "Han" has already melted into the blood of hundreds of millions of China people and become the most striking totem of a nation. When people treated Tan Zi, they completely believed in morality, benevolence and kindness, which made Tan Zi developed in culture and simple in folk customs, and some laws and regulations were maintained, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
Haze said: Shao Hao is my ancestor, of course I know. When my ancestor Shao Hao first ascended the throne, a phoenix happened to fly, which was regarded as an auspicious sign, so he worshipped birds as his teacher and called various official positions by their names. Tan Zi further explained: Shao Hao is our great-grandfather, and I know what this is. Once upon a time, the Yellow Emperor recorded stories with clouds, so all his officials were named after clouds. Emperor Yan recorded fire, so all his officials were named after fire; * * * Gong Zhu is based on water, and all his officials are named after water; There are records of dragons in Tai Hao's family, and all his officials are named after dragons. When my great-great grandfather Shao Hao ascended the throne, he happened to meet a phoenix bird, so he wrote a note, and his officials were named after it. Because the phoenix bird runs the calendar. Phoenix bird's family is a calendar. Phoenix is an auspicious bird. It is peaceful and stable as soon as it appears in the world. It knows the weather. Calendar is the official responsible for calculating the correct day, so it is called Phoenix Bird. The mysterious bird is in charge of the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox. The mysterious bird is a swallow. They come at the vernal equinox and leave at the autumnal equinox, so this mysterious bird is the name of the official in charge of the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox. Zhao Bo is responsible for the summer solstice and the winter solstice. Zhao Bo is a shrike. It starts singing on the solstice in summer and stops on the solstice in winter. An official position is named after it. Jade Bird is in charge of beginning of spring and Changxia. Bluebird is a pigeon owl. It began to sing in beginning of spring and stopped in the long summer, so this office was named after it. Dan byrd is in charge of beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. Danniao is a pheasant. It left from beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, so it was named after it. These four birds are all officials of the Phoenix family. I hope the pigeon is Stuart. Zhu Qiu is very filial, so she is named the director of education after him. There are many relics and legends in Tiantai Mountain, such as tribal ruins, Sun God Stone, Sun God Mausoleum, Witch Tomb, Old Mother Temple and Old Mother Cave dedicated to He He Nu Wa, Ancestor Statue, Daying Mausoleum and Chang 'e Mausoleum, Aoe of Tiantai Goddess and God, Natural Oriental Dragon, Kuixingge Ruins and the first stone carving, forgotten valleys, rivers named by Qin Shihuang, recorded chickens, etc.
The Oriental Dragon on the north side of the main peak of Tiantai Mountain is about 100 meters long, with a head of 20 meters, a body of 65 meters and a tail of 15 meters. There is spring water on the tap, less than half a meter deep and less than 5 feet in diameter, but even in the dry season, the spring water does not dry up all the year round, which is different from the world. Peng Zu, the birthday star, traveled to Tiantai Mountain and drank the spring water, leaving a couplet saying, "The seven emotions of climbing Temple Mountain transcend the three realms, and drinking this water is not among the five elements." He bluntly criticized "one more ladle" and named God Longquan. Taian is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. As early as 500 thousand years ago, human beings existed and multiplied, and Xintai people 50 thousand years ago have entered the stage of Homo sapiens; More than 5,000 years ago, a splendid Dawenkou culture was bred here, which became an important milestone in the history of Chinese civilization.
Due to the ancient people's worship of the sun and mountains, from Yao and Shun to Qin and Han Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mount Tai has been a sacred mountain for emperors to worship Zen and heaven for thousands of years. With the meditation of the emperor, Mount Tai was deified, and two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, scholars and celebrities came one after another, leaving many places of interest to Mount Tai and Tai 'an. Looking back, Taian has a history of three moves. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Tai 'an was a Yancheng-free city, which was located in the area of Lu Guan Village in today's Culai. Later, he moved to the old county (formerly Fengfu County) and moved to the ancient county in the Song Dynasty. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that they settled in Tai 'an. Tai 'an is also named after Mount Tai, which comes from the old saying "Mount Tai is safe in the world", meaning "peaceful country and peaceful people". The Tenghualuo Longshan Cultural Site is the first prehistoric city site with double-walled structure in China, the first city site in the Longshan Cultural Period in Jiangsu Province, and the most complete and suitable site for settlement morphology archaeology among more than 50 Longshan Cultural Sites discovered in China, which is of great value for studying the origin of civilization.
The plot is located in Zhongyun Township, Lianyungang Economic and Technological Development Zone, with an area of 6.5438+0.5 million square meters. After dissecting the inner and outer double walls of Longshan culture, it is found that the outer city plane is a rounded rectangle, which consists of city walls, city edges and gates. The circumference of the city1520m, and the area is about141375m2. The inner city plane is nearly round and square, which is located in the south of the outer city. It consists of city walls, roads outside the city, gates and outposts, with a circumference of 806 meters and an area of 40,560 square meters. There are 35 houses of various types found in the inner city, including a large Huizhou house with an area of 1 10 square meter, which may be a place related to religion, sacrifice and assembly.
More than 200 remains of rammed earth platform, foundation pit, ash pit, ash ditch, road, ditch, paddy field and Shibutou were found in Tenghualuo site, and more than 2,000 specimens of stone tools, pottery, jade, carbonized rice, wooden stakes and various animals and plants were unearthed. In prehistoric times, there was a pregnant man living in the present Bengbu area. Legend has it that Dayu controlled the water south of Huaisi and married a Tushan woman in Tushan, Huaiyuan County. He was the first emperor of China Xia Dynasty (2 1 century BC).
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, one city and three counties were once the cities of Xufang, Shandong, Song, Wu, Yue and Chu. Huaibei has a long history. As early as 7000 years ago in the early Neolithic period, human beings flourished here. About 4,000 years ago, at the end of primitive society, Zhuan Xu, one of the "five ancient emperors" in China, built a city in Xiangshan, the seat of Huaibei City. In the 2nd1century BC, Xiangtu, the ancestor of Shang Tang, moved his capital here.
According to the preliminary investigation, there are more than 200 cultural relics and important cultural sites such as Shishanzi 14. Linhuan Tucheng, built around 200 BC, is the only existing town-level earth wall in China. Among the unearthed cultural relics, the Han Dynasty stone reliefs are one of the few high-grade and large-scale cities in China.
