The Picture of Pine and Red Apricot by Zen Master Zhipu and the New Proof of Yan Zhaowang's Tomb

The Red Apricot Map hand-painted by monk Zhipu, whose full name is the Red Apricot Map of Qingsong, has long been the treasure of Chongxiao Temple in Beijing. According to Qing Zhen's "Tian Zhi Ou Wen", Chongxiao Temple, commonly known as Zaohua Temple, has the most flowers. In the past, the early days of the country were named after jujube flowers. Qianlong was named after lilac, but today it is named after peony. And the "Pine and Red Apricot" paper, the title has been like a bull's waist. According to legend, the monk Zhuo 'an fled at the end of the Ming Dynasty, wishing him luck in Panshan Mountain. This picture was made because of the defeat of Songshan Xingshan Mountain. The picture shows an old monk sitting in a crouching position, with the clouds hanging in the sky and the apricot in the sky. There is a preface by Wang Xiangjin at the beginning, followed by Zhuan and Yuyang, and thousands of people continue to write the questions, which is also a great sight. However, the golden mink * * * dog's tail is old, the jade is dead and the leaves are broken. See Synonyms at dead. There are even people who write their names with the ancients, which is really ignorant of likes and dislikes. There was once a gentleman who wrote a poem in the box, and no one was willing to take care of it.

how did monk zhipu's "the picture of pine and red apricot" in qinggou temple in Panshan get to chongxiao temple in Beijing? According to Qing Dai Lu's Miscellaneous Notes on Fujin, Chongxiao Temple is full of flowers in four seasons. When the monks in the temple took photos of the red apricot and the pine tree, Kangxi was in the afternoon, and Yu Yang, Zhu Ai, Wang Haolu, Chatashan, Chen Xiangquan and Sun Songping all had inscriptions. Yu Yang also wrote a poem titled "A Lonely Temple in the Snow":' Look east at Panshan Mountain for three hundred miles, and end the negative trip every year'. It's Zhuo 'an, a monk from Panshan Mountain, who often comes to tin. It can be seen that monk Zhipu has to walk 3 miles every year to come to Beijing to sing with Wang Yuyang, Zhu Yizun and other cultural celebrities. His hanging place in Beijing is Chongxiao Temple.

The Picture of a Pine and a Red Apricot, painted by Zen Master Zhipu, has a 2-foot picture. Due to inscriptions by famous people in previous dynasties, the picture volume has been extended for more than 3 feet. Scholars Zhu Yizun, Wang Shizhen and Ji Xiaolan in the early Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao in the late Qing Dynasty all left ink on the scrolls. Although this precious picture has disappeared, the nationalist integrity expressed in the picture has been recognized by the academic circles. From the Qing Dynasty to the modern times, almost all the recorded articles about this picture think that when the Ming Dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, some frontier generals became monks and painted this picture in the temple, and Gai felt the battle of Songshan Xingshan. In the picture, a monk, a boy, a pine and an apricot are painted, in order to express the ambition of resisting Qing, loyalty and treachery.

Yan Zhaowang Jiping, the 38th king of Yan State, once built the Huang Jintai to recruit talents and scholars, hanged the orphans, and was the most successful monarch in the history of Yan State. According to the Annals of Panshan published by Qianlong, Yan Zhaowang's tomb is ten miles southeast of the Thousand Elephants Temple in Panshan. Zen master Zhipu, the author of Panshan Annals, was a close friend of Emperor Qianlong, and was authorized by the emperor because of the annals. Later Annals of Jizhou, Shuntian Prefecture and Ji County Annals all followed Zhipu's view, which has been accepted by most people.

Zhipu's point of view originated from Liu Zhitui's Notes on Kyushu, saying: "There is no final mountain in the north of ancient Yuyang County, and there is a Yan Zhaowang tomb on the mountain. The tomb goes to the southeast of Qianxiang Temple for a few miles, but people are ignorant." The ancient Yuyang County is north, that is, the north of Jixian County today. Zhipu thinks that the Endless Mountain here refers to the Panshan Mountain, on the grounds that Chen Shou wrote in the Biography of Tian Chou that "the family moved to the Endless Mountain", and the inscription on Panshan Mountain records that Tian Chou once lived in seclusion in Zhoushan, and there is a thousand elephants temple on the mountain, so Zhipu thinks that the plate is the Endless Mountain, and Yan Zhaowang's tomb is in the southeast of the Thousand Elephants Temple, which has continued to this day.

There is a problem that cannot be ignored in Zhipu's view, that is, the Panshan Mountain is located in the northwest border of Jixian County, not in the north of Jixian County, which has an endless mountain since ancient times (also known as Kongtong Mountain, now known as Fujun Mountain). If the endless mountain in Notes on Kyushu is a Panshan Mountain, the word "West" should be added to the original text, that is, "There is one in the northwest of Guyuyang County. For example, in the following article, the author added an "east" before the word "south", which accurately described the location of Yan Zhaowang's tomb. It is said in the book that there is a terminal mountain in the north of Guyuyang County, but it should refer to Fujun Mountain. Coincidentally, the old annals before Zhipu-The Annals of Jizhou by Ming Xiong Xiang also called Yan Zhaowang's burial on Fujun Mountain, five miles north of Jixian County, indicating that the endless mountain in Jiuzhou Yaoji really refers to Fujun Mountain. As for the book "Zhaowang Tomb is not far from the Thousand Elephants Temple", it refers to the straight-line distance from Panshan Thousand Elephants Temple to Fujun Mountain, or there is another Thousand Elephants Temple near Fujun Mountain. In ancient times, there were many temples in Fujun Mountain, and many temples in the county had the same name. Unfortunately, today they are all gone, and there is no record in the history books, so there is no license to test them.
