Why Zhumadian is called Tianzhong?
Tianzhong means today and Zhumadian, Henan Province, and Tianzhong Mountain is located in runan county, Zhumadian City. According to Yu Gong, "Yu divides the world into Kyushu, Yu is in Kyushu, and you are in Yuzhou, so it is in the sky." Because of the special geographical position here, Zhou Wuwang built a Tianzhong Mountain here, with Tugui on it, and the score of the solar shadow test was positive. The inscription "Tianzhong Mountain" written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, still exists today. Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, felt deeply after visiting Zhongshan Mountain and Nanhai Temple, and wrote an immortal famous sentence: "The mountain is not high, but the fairy is famous: the water is not deep, and the dragon is spiritual." A word tells the story of Zhong Ling and its magic. The land in the sky has beautiful scenery, outstanding people and rich natural and human resources. The unique geographical location has formed the unique charm of eco-tourism resources in the sky. ...... "Tianzhong Mountain, three feet three, came to Tianzhong Mountain, one step can reach heaven." This is a folk song circulating in Runan. A little exaggerated, but vivid. "Three feet three" is extremely small; "Ascending to Heaven" also reflects the mystery of Tianzhong Mountain's psychic relationship with heaven and earth. Indeed, Tianzhong Mountain is not a "mountain" in the true sense, but a sign, a symbol, or a totem. Tianzhong Mountain, also known as Tiantai Mountain. 1.5 kilometers north of Runan, it covers an area of about 8 square meters and is more than 3 meters high. "Rebuilding the Annals of Runing Prefecture" contains: "Yu divides the world into Kyushu, Yu is in Kyushu, and you are in Yuzhou, so you gather earth and stones to mark the sky and make it famous in Zhongshan." There is also a record in the Minutes of Reading Historical Records that "Tianzhong Mountain was three miles north of Fucheng, and since ancient times, he has taken an examination of the sun shadow and measured his scores, which is regarded as positive". It can be seen that Tianzhong Mountain is an unnatural achievement, but an artificial place to measure the sun's shadow and observe the celestial phenomena. The mountain is not high, and the fairy is famous. Tianzhong Mountain is famous, because it is the most famous symbol in the world, and it is also the best place for Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher, politician and patriotic old man in the Tang Dynasty, and there is his masterpiece "Tianzhong Mountain" inscription. On both sides of the gate of Tianzhong Mountain, the couplet written by Zhang Hai, chairman of the China Book Association, "Tianzhong Mountain Guiying runs through the ages, and Yan Lugong's integrity lasts forever" is engraved, which can well summarize the cultural connotation of Tianzhong Mountain. During the middle age of the Tang Dynasty, Runan was the seat of Caizhou government. Our time in Huaixi enabled Li Xilie to support his troops and stand on his own feet as king against the imperial court. He took Cai Zhou as his stronghold, occupied Xuchang, attacked Kaifeng and surrounded Ruzhou, and occupied a large area of land in the Central Plains. Emperor Dezong sent Yan Zhenqing, a 7-year-old veteran of the Three Dynasties and a prince, to Cai Zhou to express his comfort. Li Xilie used both carrot and stick, forcing Yan Zhenqing to be his prime minister. Yan Gong would rather die than surrender, was imprisoned in longxing temple, and was later killed by a eunuch in Li Xilie. On his deathbed, Duke Yan wrote three powerful characters in longxing temple, namely, his legacy, epitaph and "Tianzhong Mountain". The Tianzhong Mountain Monument not only shows Yan Zhenqing's desire to pacify the Central Plains and unify the whole country, but also makes the smallest mountain in the world more famous.
