A brief introduction to Huangzhou: Huang Zu built a city to get the name of the state, and the "Red Cliff on the East Slope" left a lasting legacy

Buelao Huangzhou is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, across the river from ancient Wuchang (today's Ezhou).

During the Warring States Period, after King Xuan of Chu destroyed Zhu, he granted his daughter the title of building a city ten miles northwest of present-day Huangzhou City. It was called the "Queen's City" at that time, also known as Qi'an City, and is now called King Yu's City. The city site still exists.

In Huangzhou, at the beginning of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a general administration office was set up to govern Anchang County, the county governed Huangpi County, and the state governed Huangcheng.

There are many stories about Huangcheng: Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the state governed Xiangyang. Yuan Shu, who was stationed in Shouchun, sent Sun Jian to invade Jingzhou. Liu Biao's general Huang Zu killed Sun Jian with an arrow and Jingzhou was saved. Huang Zu was promoted to the prefect of Jiangxia County. After that, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, Sun Jian's sons, led their troops to invade Jiangxia many times to avenge their father's murder. Liu Biao then ordered Huang Zu to build a city for defense in Shiyang (now Huangpi), Xiling County. The city was built by Huang Zu, so it was called "Huangcheng Town", also known as "Huangcheng".

Li Jifu of the Tang Dynasty recorded in "Yuanhe Prefectures and Counties Map": "Huangpi County was originally located in Xiling County of the Han Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou. This place was the mouth of Jianghan and Han Dynasty. He was afraid of Wu's invasion. Huang Zu, the envoy of Jian'an, built a town here, so it was named Huangcheng Town.

Yang Shoujing of the Qing Dynasty recorded in "Textual Research on Geography in Sui Dynasty": "Huangzhou in the later Zhou Dynasty was named Huangcheng Town because of Huang Zu. Huangzhou in the Sui Dynasty moved to Huangzhou in the Zhou Dynasty and was governed in Huanggang'er, which has nothing to do with the Huang Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Huangzhou has Qingyun Pagoda, also known as Wenfeng Pagoda, which stands on Bomeng Peak in the south of Huangzhou City , named for its height into Qingyun. It was built before the Ming Dynasty, but the upper five floors of the rear tower collapsed. It was rebuilt in the Guangxu year of the Qing Dynasty. It is a stone pavilion style, 43 meters high, with seven levels of octagonal eaves and a hollow body. There is a small hole running through it from top to bottom. On the eight sides of the bottom of the tower, the words Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun and Dui Bagua are engraved in regular script. The lintel of the northwest main entrance is inlaid with "Quan Chu Wenfeng". You can enter the tower through the Dui Gate, and there are stairs inside that can go up to the top. It faces Ezhou Xishan across the river, and is a famous spot in the ancient city.

Anyone who visits Huangzhou will be close to the red cliff on the east slope. The rock protrudes like a city wall and is ocher-red, so it is called Red Cliff. After Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty and Wang Yucheng in the early Song Dynasty were deported to Huangzhou, the name of Red Cliff became more and more popular until Su Shi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, was demoted to Huangzhou and wrote "Red Cliff Two Fu". After "Chibi Nostalgia", "Wen Chibi" became famous all over the world. In the last years of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Dongpo Chibi".

Match the collection in your mind to the Dongpo Chibi in your eyes, so This is a habit of our generation.

The pavilions on the east slope of Red Cliff were first built in the early Western Jin Dynasty and have been repaired or rebuilt many times in the past dynasties. The current building area is more than 500 acres. There are two halls: Erfu Hall and Xuetang; the third floor: Qixia Tower, Hanhui Tower, and Yishuang Tower; the second pavilion: Bei Pavilion and Liuxian Pavilion; the first Zhai: Gairan Zhai; the first statue: the statue of Dongpo; the first peak: Scissor Peak; Jiuting: Fanggui Pavilion, Sleeping Fairy Pavilion, Poxian Pavilion, Fangjiang Pavilion, Wenhe Pavilion, Kuaizai Pavilion, Lansheng Pavilion, Wangjiang Pavilion and Yuhua Pavilion

Inside Erfu Hall. There is a large wooden wall inlaid with the front and back sides of which are engraved with the full text of "Red Cliff Ode"; the Liuxian Pavilion has a complete picture of Su Dongpo's visit to Red Cliff; the Stele Pavilion has more than a hundred stone tablets, all engraved with Su Dongpo's calligraphy.

The ancient buildings in Chibi are simple and elegant, built on the mountain. Unfortunately, time has passed and the Yangtze River has changed its course here many times. The great writer described "the great river goes eastward and the waves are swept away" and "the stormy waves crash on the shore and roll up thousands of people." The magnificent scene of "pile of snow" has faded away, and we, the descendants, can only silently understand it when we stop here.

Old image of the Snow Hall: Su Shi built a house on the east slope, and it snowed heavily on the day of completion, so he took this place Name

I lingered in Erfu Hall, drank tea at the Jiangjiang Pavilion, and looked into the distance from the Wangjiang Pavilion. I couldn't understand the mood and feelings of being demoted from an official position in the Northern Song Dynasty.

A few years ago, I. I once went to Meizhou, Sichuan to pay a visit to the "Sansu Temple", and when I came back I wrote an article called "The Silent Moon of the Northern Song Dynasty". I felt like I knew the real Su Dongpo. So, when I came down from Chibi Mountain, I deliberately took a picture in front of the statue of Su Dongpo. , leaving some thoughts about the Song Dynasty, Chibi and the down-and-out "Deputy Envoy of Tuanlian"...
