The origin culture is long
Folk sayings sing the beauty of hometown
Quzhou City, and there are many folk sayings telling it. For example, there is a saying that "three mountains are not seen, and the four seas are not doing it", such as "Guangfu has a good city wall and Quzhou has a good archway". Another example is "Don't go out of the city, three bridges, out of the city (eastward), crossing the suspension bridge, taking the East Gate, piling bridges, the bronze Buddha Hall and the Sanguan Temple, and the school parade is really lively." And so on, describing the beautiful history of my hometown, the hometown feelings that people in Quzhou are proud of.
The phrase "Four Seas Don't Work" in "Three Mountains Don't See, Four Seas Don't Work" refers to several Haizi left when the city wall was built to borrow soil. It is said to be "four seas", but in fact there are at least seven places. The sum of its area accounts for nearly half of the whole city and is scattered all over the city. There are three places on the south side of East-West Street, which are called Donghaizi, Nanhaizi and Xihaizi respectively from east to west. In the three villages of Dongjie, Nanjie and Xijie, there are households separated between Haizi, among which Nanhaizi is the largest. I remember that when I was in junior high school, Chengguan Middle School was just north of Donghai and Nanhaizi. When I went to physical education class, I sometimes ran around Haizi, and I ran around for a class. There are also three water surfaces in the north of the road from east to west, next to which there is only one road, collectively known as Beihai Zi, which is also the largest in the middle, and is located in the east of Dongjie and Beijie Village. There is also a Haizi in the northwest corner of the county seat, located in North Street. Because of its shape like an ingot, it is called an ingot Haizi, which later became a place for the fishing team to work and breed fry. In the 197s, the County Animal Husbandry Bureau guided it to cultivate African crucian carp (Luo Fei) successfully, which is also a small scientific research achievement. Because of the low altitude, high groundwater level and the Fuyang River, these Haizi have never dried up in the drought year, so there is a saying that "the four seas don't do it". Now it's different. Haizi has been much smaller because the surrounding people are constantly filling the sea to build houses. Except for a little old site in the west, the moat has been completely filled in to build houses. Haizi is isolated from the outside water and has become a stagnant pool. Xihaizi has already dried up like the ground, and the residential buildings are almost completed. A pit in the east of Beihai has been completely filled up, and houses and roads have been built. "Three mountains are missing", which three mountains are hard to tell. Quzhou is located in the North China Plain, which is endless. "Quzhai is flat and has no hills and mound", not to mention mountains, and even a small mound is hard to find. The mountain of "Three Mountains" is actually the rockery of the wrinkled, leaky, thin and transparent Taihu Stone, or the ornaments of Lingbi Stone with a color like ink and a sound like chime. Guquzhou not only produced many scholars who gained fame, such as the "four ministers once" which was a smash hit in the Ming Dynasty. Also because of the geographical relationship, it is a modest water transport terminal, with a large number of merchants and many rich and expensive people. No matter where they are, they have to build manor gardens in their hometown. To build courtyard gardens and pavilions, the Taihu stone is indispensable, and so are the high-rise lobby and Lingbi stone. Therefore, enjoying the strange stone has become a temporary trend. There are three most famous ones. One is in the courtyard in front of the "three halls" of the county government. It is tall and majestic, and it is the favorite of the county master. In his spare time, he should watch and play. One in the garden of the Confucian Temple, the Wen Xiu is full of aura, and it is the guest and guest of the Crescent River, which sets each other off; There is another one in the deep house of a big family. Some people say it's the Yang family in South Street, others say it's the Wang family in East Street, and others say it's the Lujia family in Dongguan, all of whom are provincial and ministerial officials. The mansion is unusual, and there is more than one stone in Taihu Lake, and it's all excellent. "There is no Bai Ding between us." Ordinary people can't even get into the gate, so it's hard to see it. In the early Qing Dynasty, Liu Fengyuan (a native of Xianggong Village in Qu and Zhou Dynasties) wrote a poem entitled "Lingbi Stone in Yunluzhai, which was taken after a play, and later captured by the middle way of the literary symbol". (Yunlu is the name of Liu You, the grandson of Liu Rongsi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the late Ming Dynasty, and the literary symbol is the name of Lu Zepu, the second son of Lu Zhenfei, the official department of the Longwu regime and the minister of the Ministry of War in the southern Ming Dynasty. After all the high officials, the man of the hour. ) The poem says, "Looking for the Lingbi stone in the distant building, it is not full of feet. The strange stone is a fairy for the benefit, and it is oriented to the study to entertain the morning and evening. It was taken away on the way, and this public addiction is very Yuan Zhang addiction. There are thousands of things in the East China Sea, so who can return to Zhao Bi? Since ancient times, experts have never been tired of being stupid, and many of them are willing to do so. * * * Make an appointment to pay homage to this gentleman, and wish to order stones for three benefits. " It shows that at that time, playing with stones became a habit, and loving stones became a hobby. It is reported that in the 195s, Mr. Peng Babai, a famous lanshi painter whose ancestral home is Nanjie Village, Quzhou County, loved orchids as his wife and was fond of stones as a child. He once kept one of the "three mountains not seen" stones, engraved with bluegrass, calligraphy, stamps, etc. to show his treasure. In the early 198s, during an exhibition of cultural relics, the county cultural center once exhibited a stone of Taihu Lake, which was "missing from three mountains". It was really strange and lovely, but it was moved around and disappeared.
"Guangfu is a good city wall and Quzhou is a good archway". Guangfu is now the tourist area of Guangfu ancient city. It was a "curved beam" in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a city has been built. It has always been a regional political center in southern Hebei. The city is getting bigger and bigger, and the wall is getting better and better, so it has a good reputation as a city wall. It's not in Quzhou, and it doesn't appear outside the text. Speaking of this "good memorial archway in Quzhou", the memorial archway is a building built in feudal society to commend meritorious service, science, virtue, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. There are also temples that use the memorial archway as a mountain gate or to indicate place names, and there are also large families that set up memorial archways in front of ancestral temples. Quzhou has been outstanding since ancient times, with simple folk customs and strong style of study. Especially in the early and middle period of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, the idea that students came from a steady stream and talents were abundant, and learning to be excellent was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. During this period, countless people took part in the prefectural college entrance examination to obtain a scholar. There were more than 3 people who won the provincial-level provincial examination, and more than 8 people joined the palace examination, took part in the national examination presided over by the emperor himself, and became Jinshi. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the society was in turmoil, and there were many martial arts practitioners, including more than 3 martial arts scholars. Look at Fan Jin's example. How difficult it is. So many people have gained fame, so it is natural to let them go. With personal struggle and success, the memorial archway is an important product of singing praises for these senior officials and ministers. How many archways are there in the history of Quzhou? It is difficult to verify because of the large span of time and space. Most of them are seventy or eighty. The relevant departments of the county once inspected the Dongguan and Beifu sections of Fengcheng Road, and found more than ten groups of archway foundations and components in just a few hundred meters, some of which are only 2 meters apart, which is a well-deserved "archway street", which also shows that there are many archways in Quzhou.
Wang Yimu's family, the minister of the Ministry of War in the Ming and Wan Dynasties, had ten archways, the largest number of archways in the Quzhou family. For example, the "Qifeng" archway is located in Fengcheng West Road. The owner of the archway is Wang Yijue, the father of Wang Yimu. It was set up when it was appointed as the master and was built in the late Jiajing period of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty. The "Jinshi" archway, located in Fengcheng West Road, was set up by Wang Yi-e, a Jinshi in the entrance examination, and was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing. "Dazhong Cheng" archway, located on the east side of the intersection of Fengcheng West Road and Lishang Street, was erected by Emperor Wanli of Ming Shenzong when Wang Yimu was the governor of Shuntian, and was built in Wanli ten years. The "Yishi Shangshu" archway is located in front of the Party School of Fengcheng West Road County Committee. The owner of the archway is Wang Yong, Wang Shijue and Wang Yimu's grandparents. It was built in the fifteenth year of Wanli, and Wang Yong is Wang Yimu's grandfather. The archway is the highest in Quzhou. It rests on the top of the mountain with double eaves, and is supported by four overlord columns. The middle two columns are more than three feet high, and the next two columns are two feet high. There are two stone pillars in front and back of each column. Each stone is carved with a big lion and a small lion. Camellia and peony patterns are carved on the front and back sides of the stone pillars, and the beams between the stone pillars are connected by carved unicorn garden rings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Liang Fang in the Ming Dynasty is more than 2 feet long, and there is a "imperial edict" written on it. The archway is tall and majestic, and it can be seen ten miles away. According to legend, it is the place where "civil servants get off the sedan chair and military officers get off the horse". The memorial archway of "III Enguang", located in the north street of the city, was erected as a gift to Wang Yong, Wang Shijue, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Yi, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
In Quzhou County, at least six memorial archways were built for three generations: Niu Xi, Niu Shanmu and Niu Weibing. One of them is called "Grace from Heaven", which was built when Niu Xi was awarded to the magistrate of a county. There is a "Enrong Square" for Niu Shan Wood, which was built for him when he was admitted to the Jinshi; One of the "Fengji Border Pass" workshops was set up for him to serve as the deputy envoy of Shanxi Provincial Inspection Department and Koubei Road, in recognition of his achievements in Daizhou and other places. There are three workshops for Niu Shanmu and Niu Weibing's father and son, namely "Jinshi Workshop", "Tai Jian Chuan Fang" and "Father and Son Jinshi Workshop". ? In addition to eulogizing the local celebrities, there are also some memorial archways that honor the dutiful sons and women, advocate charity, and commemorate the honest and upright officials in Quzhou. These archways are all made of top-grade stone, which are struck with copper sound, engraved with words and exquisite ornamentation. Most of them stand across the street and vary in size. In fact, some of these archways are archways, which have no "building" structure, that is, there is no bucket arch and roof, while archways have roofs, which have a greater contrast atmosphere. However, for a long time, the concepts of "Fang" and "Lou" were not clear to the common people, so in the end, the two became an interchangeable title. Archways and archways are divided into columns or not, and most of them are towering columns in the street, with the forms of "one room with two columns", "three rooms with four columns" and "five rooms with six columns". The number of buildings on the top is in the form of the first floor, the third floor, the fifth floor, the seventh floor and the ninth floor. Among the archways in Beijing, the largest one is "five rooms with six columns and eleven floors". Nowadays, if you want to see the old archway, you can only go to Nansitou Village in Yizhuang Township, the largest village in Quzhou County, and there is a stone archway of "Three Dynasties' Grace" in Taipu Temple of Ming Dynasty, which stands tall and silently tells the historical changes and becomes the only survivor of "Good Archway in Quzhou", which is precious. Today, people have set up three antique new archways (actually archways) in the east, south and west of the county town. The south gate is "three rooms and four columns" and the other two are "five rooms and six columns", which are more than ten feet wide, painted red and green, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and are very spectacular. After passing the archway, you can enter the city gate, and further inside is the urban area. Their names are "Chonghua", "Jingsheng" and "Yong 'an", which are the same as the name of the ancient city gate.
and the folk proverb that goes out of the city to the east has been sung all the time. The reason for going east is that the Fuyang River is "more than 4 steps away from the county government" (I measured it myself, and I have to take one step at a time according to my legs). The south, west and north of the county are small villages in the wilderness, but the east is the only one. Because of the Fuyang River, it is a flood and drought wharf that has not been around for hundreds of miles. Beiting Street on the east side of Fuyang River is a freight center and a wholesale market. No less than Xiushui Street in Beijing and Hanzheng Street in Wuhan. Therefore, the city is the political center, and here is the economic center. All the way is full of business names, and it is very prosperous. Naturally, there are many buildings. As the saying goes, if you don't leave the city, three bridges, if you leave the city, cross the suspension bridge, go to Dongguan, pile up bridges, bronze Buddha Hall, Sanguan Temple and tinker drill are really lively. The three bridges that don't leave the city are the three stone bridges above the Panchi in the gate of the Confucian Temple. The Panchi is in a half-moon shape, commonly known as the "Crescent River". There are three doors in the Confucian Temple, the main entrance in the middle is called "Xing Xing Gate", and there are corner doors on the left and right, which are called "Jin Sheng Gate" and "Yu Zhen Gate" respectively. From these three doors, there are three small bridges on the panchi. Out of the city, across the suspension bridge, suspension bridge city, put it down for people to pass in the morning, and lift it at dusk to prevent theft and bandits. Go to Dongguan, bridge after bridge, between Fuyang River and the county seat, there is a small river ditch called Toudi Canal, which starts from Huangkou Gate in the south of the city and passes north. This is an artificial river. Because the county is low-lying, Fuyang River is a semi-terrestrial river, so it is used to block the water that Fuyang River soaks into the county. There is a bridge over this river. It is an arch bridge made of brick, with a big arch bridge hole in the middle and small arch bridges on both sides. The two small arches are not on both sides of the big arch, but on the sides, so people say "bridges pile up bridges". The bridge guardrail is a bluestone strip more than two feet wide, and it is also a high arch in the middle. It is very beautiful and practical. When I was a child, I used to run and play on it, and people often sat or put things on it, so they were polished. It's for Tongji Bridge, which is the same clan as Anji Bridge in Zhaozhou and Hongji Bridge in Guangfu. It's also the word "Ji", but it's just a small place, a small bridge and a small reputation. In the 12th year of Qianlong, Lauzon, a magistrate of a county, was rebuilt, with stone carvings and brick carvings. It is very beautiful, and is commonly known as the "Three-Eye Bridge" among the people. Now the dike-penetrating canal has been built into a cover culvert, that is, the whole river is full of bridges, so the Tongji Bridge is useless, and the guardrail with bluestone strips is even more gone. From then on, we went eastward, crossed Fuyang River, and arrived in dongqiao town (now Hedong), where the bronze Buddha Hall and Sanguan Temple stood. It was unusual to build them in the economic center. Not only were the temples large, the regulations were complete, but the incense was extremely prosperous, the bells rang and the smoke filled the air. The bronze Buddha Temple (information is unknown, to be supplemented) is located at the first supply station in Nanyuan, Fengcheng Road. The Sanguan Temple (Sanguan Temple) is dedicated to the Sanguan Emperor, which refers to the heavenly officials, local officials and water officials. Heavenly god blesses the people, the local officials forgive sins, and the water officials relieve Eritrea. The Tianguan Emperor is Yao, the local official emperor is Shun, and the water official emperor is Yu). It is located in the north of Fengcheng Road, opposite to the Copper Buddha Hall, next to the scissors (two roads are like scissors), and it is still a local place name. The school parade is really lively. The tinker was the place where garrisons practiced and competed at that time. According to historical records, the earliest garrison in Quzhou County was in the 3th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 194), which should be a regular army. In order to maintain one party's peace, there are rural brave vigilantes in the county, as well as Aauto Quicker police officers, who have to train themselves. Under the guidance of the coach, it is very lively to queue up in the square every day, shouting and killing the sky, fighting in a tournament, riding horses and shooting arrows. It is located one kilometer north of the present National Defense Bridge, that is, the northeast corner of dongqiao town. At that time, there was a temple next to the tinker, where the gods were unknown, so the locals called it the tinker temple.
