Boarding the long bridge, I tried to look ahead, and the place I saw was even with the sky. The sea on the horizon is blue and purple, and ducks and geese can be heard all morning. The nearby mountain seems to be absent, and the water in the distance is flickering and sparkling. After reading the poems inscribed on the couplets by famous friends, I think I should write a poem on the post, too.

Make an appreciative comment

This five-character poem is an impromptu poem written by Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty when he was sent to Huzhou for secretariat in the spring of 773 AD. The scenery written in the poem tells us about the scene on Ande Bridge thousands of years ago: water and sky are one color, reeds are green, ducks and geese are playing, green hills are faint and sparkling. Yan's poems are mixed with scenery and have been passed down to this day.

Ande Bridge, Wang Ping Bridge, arched single hole, north-south direction, across the intersection of the ancient canal and Tang Di, with a total length of 54 meters, in front of the audit office (that is, in front of the warehouse of Chenghuangmiao in Wang Ping Grain Management Institute). According to historical records, the earliest bridge in Wujiang is Wang Ping Bridge, which was built during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty (776-779). Yan Zhenqing, a famous calligrapher, traveled with Zhang, a writer, and wrote a five-character poem "Under the Bridge" when he was in Huzhou. In the poem, there is a saying, "Go upstairs and try to look long, but look extremely balanced." As if the mountain is nearby and the water is far away. In the 12th year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1 185), Taozhuangmin's pottery family was rebuilt (in addition, in the 3rd year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 197), Xu Zhizai built a pottery family). It is the highest bridge in China. Yang Wanli, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem Crossing Wang Ping that "Gao Qiao crossed the mast during the Hong Kong riots". In the 19th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1483), Chen Yaobi, a magistrate of a county, rebuilt it, with a pavilion built by Fei Yong, a villager in this village, and Yingxiu Building next to the bridge, which was later abandoned. This bridge connects the Tangdi River in the west, the Grand Canal and agricultural and merchant ships at the bottom. It is the main drainage channel of Wanying Lake day and night, so the water under the bridge is turbulent. If there is strong wind, it is quite difficult to cross the bridge by boat. Reconstruction in the early years of Qing Emperor Kangxi, and beyond. In fifty-seven years (17 18), Ye Qian, the magistrate of Wujiang River, led a group of people to raise funds for construction in Lijiang River. In the 29th year of Qianlong (1764), Shen Mingmao in Wujiang County and Zhaode in Zhenze County were rebuilt. In fifty-four years (1789), Wu Xian, a magistrate of Wu County, Sun Shaohuang and a native of Kaili were rebuilt. In the 11th year of Tongzhi (1872), the Water Conservancy Bureau was rebuilt. The bridge has a large span, a high span and a magnificent momentum, and it still stands tall today, which is one of the historic sites.

Brief introduction of the author

Yan Zhenqing (709-785) was born in Jingzhao (now Xi 'an). In the "An Shi Rebellion", he was highly valued by the imperial court for resolutely rebelling against thieves in Pingyuan County. He successively served as the official minister and the criminal minister, and made Lu Jun a founding father, known as the head of the "Yan" by the world. During the Dezong period, Li Xilie rebelled, and Yan Zhenqing put the country first, went to the enemy camp, stopped the thief when he knew what was right, and was finally slapped to death. Yan Zhenqing, the calligrapher with the highest achievement and the greatest influence after Wang Xizhi, became an important milestone in China literati calligraphy. He sought advice from many teachers and became a Buddha, creating an aesthetic paradigm of regular script calligraphy, which is solemn, simple and magnificent. His cursive script also conveys a calm, happy, bold and free and easy master atmosphere. There are many inscriptions handed down from generation to generation, such as "Sacrificing a Nephew", "Competing for a Seat" and "Ma Gubei".

When Yan Zhenqing was the secretariat of Fuzhou, there was a man named Yang Zhijian in the county who loved to learn, but his family was poor and his fellow villagers didn't know him. His wife asked him for a divorce because of lack of money. Yang Zhijian wrote a poem for her, saying, "I have long been determined to be a teacher, but now I have become a sideburns. Camel road governor is late, and waste road is late. Chai Jin combed his new hair at will, and Luan Jing never combed it from him. When you get here, you are a passerby, and you will go down the mountain as soon as you meet. " His wife took the poem to the state to handle the official documents so as to remarry. Yan Zhenqing said in the official document of evaluation: "Yang Zhijian studied Confucianism very early, and he was also famous for writing poems. Although he was envious of passing the imperial examination, he didn't enjoy any salary himself. His silly wife, seeing that he has never passed the exam, doesn't even want to live with him anymore, and doesn't want to help her husband achieve his career like a poor wife. Women who just want to learn from Zhu Maichen hate and abandon their husbands. Bring shame to hometown and ruin moral education. How can we stop this frivolous behavior without punishment and warning? A woman should be beaten twenty times to make her remarry. Yang Zhijian is a scholar, and he is funded to take up his post in the army temporarily. ". People from far and near have heard about it, and no one is unconvinced. Since then, no woman in Jiangbiao has dared to abandon her husband.
