Think about "Cuan"

November 1, 2012? Qujing turned sunny on Monday

? There is an extremely difficult word to write "Cuan", which is ubiquitous in Qujing, everywhere, it is Qujing A symbol of long history and profound cultural heritage, the pride of Qujing people, and a business card for external publicity.

? This character has so many strokes that it is normal to be unable to write it when you see it. Those who can write will always recite a few jingles, that is, "Xingzi starts with the word, treasure covers the waist, and the forest is burning with fire." This is one word, two tablets; one surname, and a local wealthy family. The five hundred years of dominance in Nanzhong is a piece of history that has disappeared in the smoke of history. When people in Qujing talk about it, they are as proud as they are regretful.

It can be clearly said that the Cuan family is not a minority, but a Han nationality, coming from the advanced and developed areas of the Central Plains. The Cuan family ruled Yunnan for 500 years and influenced Yunnan for more than 1,300 years.

According to the records of the Cuan Longyan Monument, the ancestral home of the Cuan family is Shangshuo, which is the bloodline of the royal family of the Central Plains. The ancestor Ban Yi flourished in the Central Plains, and his descendants Ban Biao and Ban Gu compiled and compiled the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Ban was granted the title of "Cuan" and changed his surname to "Cuan".

Cuan Su, the ancestor of Cuan Jun, held a prominent position in the Cao Wei Dynasty. The family prospered and moved to various places, traveling in all directions, and one branch entered Nanzhong. Times make heroes, and the Cuan family soon became one of the "four major surnames" in Nanzhong. Reaching the ranks of prominent officials from generation to generation, they are extremely glorious.

? As a geographical concept in ancient times, Nanzhong was centered on present-day Qujing and included all of today's Yunnan, western Guizhou, southern Sichuan, northwestern Guangxi, and parts of Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.

? As a surname in Nanzhong, the Cuan family has a strong family power and a close relationship with the central government. "The emperor opens the door, and the court opens the door." This is a characteristic of the relationship between the Cuan family and the central government. It also shows the helplessness and accommodation of the feudal central dynasty towards the dominant power.

? In fact, Qujing was able to be included in the management of the central government, thanks to Zhuge Liang's personal expedition to the south, "crossing Lu in May, going deep into the barren area", quelling the rebellion of the Nanzhong surnames, and incorporating Nanzhong into the Effective management of Shu.

After the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty took over Nazhong, which was ruled by the Shu Han Kingdom. In 271, Ningzhou was established in Nazhong, and its administrative seat was Wei County (the location of today's Qujing Economic Development Zone). From then on, Qujing, the capital of Ningzhou, became the ruling center of Yunnan in a complete sense and an important area for cultural integration and development. It is no longer affiliated with Yizhou (Sichuan) and officially becomes one of the nineteen states in the country.

Since then, Ningzhou has become a state directly under the central government. The Cuan family's regime has worked hard to make Wei County (Qujing) its seat. The Panjiang River Basin in eastern Yunnan officially replaced the ancient Dian Kingdom and became the new capital of Yunnan. It was the political, economic and cultural center of Nanzhong. The Cuan family dominated Nanzhong for more than five hundred years, until it was destroyed by Nanzhong during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty (748-749 AD). More than 200,000 households and nearly one million Xicuan white barbarians were forcibly relocated. In western Yunnan, the rule of the Cuan family was completely disintegrated. Although it objectively promoted the economic development of western Yunnan, the developed economy and culture of eastern Yunnan with Qujing as its center suffered a devastating blow.

? The Cuan culture declined and was extinguished in the flames of war. From then to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, during the more than 1,300 years of "returning to local rule", the Wuman and Yi people in eastern Yunnan became powerful, and the civilization of the Central Plains impact to a minimum.

? It is a bit incredible to say that the Cuan family is undoubtedly one of the most dominant families in Chinese history. It can be said that it has been dominant for the longest time and has spanned the most dynasties. But the rise and fall of the Cuan family for five hundred years is a unique and strange flower, but its disappearance in the land of eastern Yunnan like a flash in the pan was so complete and so fast. Now there are only two pieces listed as A national cultural relic.

? Tombstones are engraved stones erected to commemorate the deceased after death. Since Cao Cao advocated thick and thin burials, from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, inscriptions on tombstones were prohibited in the Central Plains, and naturally very few remain.

In the process of transition from official script to regular script, the calligraphy written and engraved by folk calligraphers from the western frontier has a flavor of mountain game and folk, without paying attention to brushwork or blade edge. It is less bookish and less smooth. As soon as it was unearthed, it was praised and praised by famous calligraphers of later generations. The historian Zhu Youwei called it "the best official book of the Wei and Jin Dynasties", and Zhou Zhongyue called it "the treasure of the Southern Stele" is not an exaggeration.

? "Stand alone in the southern border, outstanding". Cuan culture has disappeared in the long river of history. Fortunately, there are still monuments and Cuan bodies. More importantly, there are still millions of people who continue to pass them on from generation to generation.

? A scholar said: "For Qujing, Cuan culture is both an eternal nostalgia and a forgotten history; it is both the customs of Qujing and the character that has been cultivated for thousands of years!", We don't need to add more illusory and specious elements to it, because "Cuan" has entered our blood and become our genes.

? As a sub-central city in Yunnan, we have no shirk of responsibility! 10pm.
