Qingzhou is one of the oldest administrative regions in China. After Dayu's flood control, China was divided into Kyushu, which is Qingzhou recorded on the map of Gong Yu. Now people come to Qingzhou mainly for two things, one is to go up the mountain to pay their respects, and the other is to go to town to pay their respects to Fan Zhongyan.
Five miles south of Qingzhou, there is a mountain called Yunmen Mountain. Looking from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is a faint word "Shouzi" on the cliff. This is a miracle that people want to see. A stone path turned up, with cypresses and vines on both sides, full of gullies. Trees are not very thick, but they are very strong and tall, and they are all born on stones. Roots must follow the stone wall, such as lightning cracking; The trunk broke through the stone like a strong wind. Occasionally, one or two trees will block the way, which is unbearable damage when building roads. They were left behind on purpose. The bark of this tree was polished by tourists. Looking around, people feel the beauty of the past years. After a while, we climbed to the Wangshou Pavilion halfway up the mountain, where we had a short rest, and the red longevity word on the stone wall at the top of the mountain was vivid. Looking back at the foot of the mountain, the market is far away and the countryside is woven. Then, it seems that it will be on the head. The character of a young man in the same trade is not as high as the word "inch". This is the largest birthday character in the world, and it is the best and best calligraphy. Japanese calligraphers often come across the ocean to pay homage. This is the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, when King Hengwang of Qingzhou celebrated his birthday. It has been more than 400 years since then. The snow on the mountain has not disappeared, and I am in the cold spring breeze. I don't know how to write and engrave the beginning, but I don't lose the structure of the shelf, but it is a faint brush stroke. This constant king created a miracle, but his purpose at that time was not for art, just like Wei Bei unearthed from an ancient tomb. Today, we regard it as a masterpiece of calligraphy, but it is just an ordinary stone around the deceased. Hengwang lettering hoped that he would live a long life, and at the same time gave the people the prestige of the royal family. But after several generations, Wang Heng's palace was confiscated, and his life could not last forever. Power and prestige have long been blown away by the wind and rain. However, this artistic longevity word has lived to this day. Go left in front of the long words and enter a hole, like a city gate. Looking back at the outside, the clouds are transpiration, which is the origin of Yunmen Mountain. Fold from the door to the top of the mountain, like the back of a carp, slightly flat, with stone steps, pavilions, temples and Buddha caves. Looking at the railing, the sea breeze is coming from the east, and the clouds are hazy. The world was saved by Changhong and Qingzhou. Since then, people have worked here for generations. Fan Zhongyan came here as an official, Li Qingzhao lived in seclusion, and Hengwang ruled his own little world here. People are busy engraving and carving statues on the cliff on this rocky mountain. Only this mountain is silent. I think it's a cloud. I must have snorted contemptuously and continued to meditate. I walked around the mountain, looking at these relics from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and the clouds around the mountain. I am really proud of Yunmen Mountain, which has defied wind and rain and resisted lightning for thousands of years. Lin Zexu said that the mountain: "The wall is towering, and it is just without desire." It has no desire and will exist forever.
After going down the mountain, I went to Gong Fan Temple in the west of Qingzhou. This temple was built in memory of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been burning incense for thousands of years. This temple is not big, about the size of two basketball courts. There is a well named Gong Fanjing in the center of the yard. This well is unusual and refreshing. It is said that Fan Zhongyan used this water to make "Qingzhou White Pill", and this well became the support for future generations to remember Gong Fan. There was a poem in the Song Dynasty that said, "Painting is infinite, like writing an old heart." (Fan Zhongyan's handwriting) Now the well is as bright as a mirror. There is an ancestral temple in the east, which contains portraits of Gong Fan and murals of his life. Around the ancestral hall are Ouyang Xiu and Fu Bi, both of whom presided over the celebration of the implementation of the New Deal. There is a bamboo forest in the south of the courtyard. There are thousands of bamboo poles in the bamboo forest, which is beautiful. Gong Fan's famous sentence "Yueyang Tower" is engraved in the gallery. There are three ancient trees in the center of the courtyard, namely Tang Ying and Song Huai, which shows the age of this temple. To the north of the tree is the official calligraphy plaque of General Feng Yuxiang: "A soldier is rich in mind, even if he is taught to ride horses everywhere, he is afraid of that little Lao Tzu;" The optimistic world of worrying about the country and the people hopes that today's people will be inspired and learn from this scholar. " These two sentences accurately summed up Gong Fan's life. Fan Zhongyan lost his father in his childhood and his family was poor. He is eager to learn. He got up early and cooked a small pot of porridge. After cooling, he divided it into four parts. This is his daily diet. Later, he won the imperial examination and was awarded a bachelor's degree in Longtuge, striving for innovation. Later, Xixia invaded frequently. Defeated the enemy. Xixia people exclaimed that "there are millions of soldiers in his chest", and the border people respectfully called him "Dragon Map Laozi". Even the emperor said: With Zhong You here, I won't worry. Later, he was transferred back to North Korea to preside over the reform of Qingli New Deal, drastically abolished the old and the new, frequently transferred to various places, and personally promoted local political innovation. No matter in the border defense, in North Korea and at the local level, he is always ". Worrying about the country and the people is like a flame. Fan Zhongyan is a Zhuge Liang-style and Zhou Enlai-style politician. His life is mainly about practice. He did it wholeheartedly according to his own way of living and governing the country, and devoted all his talents to dealing with specific government and military affairs, without any intention of writing. It is not that there is no literary talent, but that there is no time. Song Renzong's three years (AD 65438) was the last stop of his career and life journey. He died the next year. The story of Yueyang Tower was written seven years ago when he died from illness and was transferred to the mainland. Just like an example, it is a great man's later work and the crystallization of his life's thoughts. I can imagine how anxious an old man is in this small courtyard, under the well pavilion and in the bamboo forest. Recall the hardships of "living above the temple" and work hard with you; Recalling the sufferings of ordinary people in disaster relief and food distribution, he always sighed: "Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later." This deep sigh, like a bell in a famous temple, is profound and profound. It has inspired many people with lofty ideals and rectified many officials and bureaucrats for thousands of years.
Yueyang Tower was not written on Yueyang Tower, and the grand view of Dongting Lake was not in front of Mr. Wang at that time. It can be said to be a masterpiece. Gong Fan poured out his understanding of life and society, the political turmoil he experienced in his life, the ups and downs in his chest, and then suddenly gathered together to assemble this famous saying into a rainbow, spanning the sky and illuminating the future.
In the Tang dynasty, the new branches of Sophora japonica were blown loose and the bamboo leaves were swaying. This ancient temple has entered a new year in the long river of years. Fan Gongduan sat in the temple, silently enjoying the spring scenery in the courtyard. I wander in the courtyard, facing the gods of Gong Fan, Ouyang Gong and Fu Gong, and ponder how many officials are in their posts and how many people are diligent, but why? I think a person can only practice hard and sacrifice honestly, which only his contemporaries can understand. More importantly, he should be able to create a spirit and extract an idea that conforms to people's hearts and historical laws. It is the famous saying that "worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later", and it is this enterprising optimism that makes Fan Zhongyan eternal.
Out of the Gong Fan Temple, get on the bus and get out of the city. Two tall stone pagodas on the roadside flashed by and suddenly became lonely in the cold wind. Some people say that this is the former site of Hengwangfu. What a magnificent royal family, now there are only archways on the roadside and long words on the mountain. Looking at Yunmen, the cypresses are swaying in the mist, and the peaks stand proudly. The people who carved on the mountain could not stay after all, leaving this silent mountain; Those who build the gatehouse very high still can't live, but those who push the wheel of history with their lives will live forever.
