The air in my hometown is so fresh and the sky is so clear. The water enters as soon as it is divided.
When I entered the safe zone, driving along the reservoir with my father was a complete enjoyment: the smooth road was unobstructed, and there was a wave of Qiliting Reservoir in front of me. One or two waterfowl fly in the sky from time to time, and my mood is like the sky.
White clouds are fluttering. The reservoir is a bumper harvest village. The village is small, so it is easy to find grandpa's home.
Grandpa is tall and strong. Although he is a farmer in his sixties, he is very keen on folk collections. So we cut to the chase and asked him to take us to find the "monument of justice" left by our ancestors for a long time.
(paternal) grandfather
My grandfather took us to a Jianshanzui near the reservoir, where many mulberry trees were planted. The "Shangyi Monument" stands in the mulberry forest, with a tall head, but the head of the monument was knocked off, and three or four pieces of debris were scattered on the ridge. I asked
How did grandpa's flat head break? He said that the villagers accidentally fell off the tractor during the handling process and broke it. I looked at the remaining stones carefully. There are two lifelike dragons on the front and two phoenix on the back.
Huang, the first tablet is engraved with the words "Respect for Righteousness", and the reverse side is engraved with the eight characters "Kinship". The monument dates back to the second year of Chenghua (1466), with a history of more than 540 years. Memorabilia presented by the royal family are rare,
This ancient monument is undoubtedly of great cultural and historical value. I asked grandpa how this monument was discovered. Grandpa slowly told the story: this monument to being brave has been kept in the ancestral hall, just at the foot of the opposite mountain.
Go down. Because the old ancestral temple is relatively remote, no one has paid attention to it. Many years ago, a family in the village moved this monument home and put it into use. As a result, year after year, one thing after another, thinking that this monument is ominous.
I threw it out, beside the rice field. An accidental opportunity was discovered by grandpa. Because I usually like to collect antiques, I saw the historical value of this monument at a glance. The news soon left, and the reporter from the air newspaper came to report it.
The situation of the memorial tablet, coupled with the propaganda of Tonglu TV station, made the ancient memorial tablet famous at once. The village decided to rebuild the ancient monument for protection, but in the process of treatment, the villagers accidentally broke the head of the monument.
After lunch, we unfolded all the pieces and finally put them together completely, but unfortunately there is still a dragon's foot incomplete. The content of the tablet is black and white because of the rubbings, and the calligraphy is steep and delicate. On the opposite side of the monument, a pair of small couplets are carved on the left and right: the surname is always left, and the name is passed on to spring. Grandpa also introduced us to the historical origin of this monument to be brave and courageous.
When he left, his father said to his grandfather, "For the sake of public and private, we should collect the remaining stones at the headstone. If they are lost, they will never be found again. This monument should be dedicated to protecting a pavilion, and then try to fill the residual stone. " Grandpa said to do it at once. I stepped into Beijing Hyundai, where my father was driving, left my hometown and sailed slowly to Hang Cheng along the reservoir.
On the way back, I kept thinking: after 60 years' efforts of three generations, we successfully saved the 600-year decline of our ancestors. Riding the spring breeze of reform and opening up, our life will surely blossom like sesame seeds, and our developing country will surely become more prosperous and powerful, standing like a giant in the East!
