Yongji, located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, was once the cradle of Chinese culture and the earliest place for Chinese descendants to thrive.
As early as 600,000 ~ 700,000 years ago, people lived here, and later Yao and Shun all built their capital here.
Historical records? "Notes to Five Emperors": "If you follow Li Gengshan (Li Mountain is the Zhongtiao Mountain in Hedong), everyone who crosses the mountain will make way, and those who are torpedoed will make way home. The banks of the Taohe River and the riverside are not bitter. They live together for one year, become a city in two years and become Chengdu in three years. " According to Zhou Pu County Records, "Puban County was established in Han Dynasty".
After the Sui Dynasty, Puban was merged into Hedong County, and the first year of Wucheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (AD 559) was changed to Zhou Pu, and the sixth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1728) was changed to Yongji County.
Yongji is surrounded by mountains and waters, with rich natural resources, outstanding people, outstanding generations, prosperous economy, developed culture and outstanding humanities.
Many ancient thinkers, writers and poets grew up here, such as Liu Zongyuan, Zhang Xun, Wang Wei, Lu Xun and Lu Wen.
They left many immortal works and magnificent poems for future generations, adding luster to Puban.
The well-known Romance of the West Chamber took place in the Pujiu Temple outside Yongji. The stork tower is just outside the ancient city of Zhou Pu, not far from the Pujiu Temple. At that time, Wang Zhihuan, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, came to Puban, boarded the stork tower, looked down at the surging Yellow River, and was deeply touched by the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and wrote the eternal quatrain "Looking at the Heron Tower".
When I first arrived in Yongji City, it was dusk, but I saw dark clouds rolling up and down like the top of Mount Tai, as if "dark clouds were pressing the city to destroy". It seems that there was a heavy rain in an instant, but it is strange that people in the street are calm and carefree, and there is no tension before the heavy rain.
If you look closely, the black cloud seems to be still for a long time. The dark clouds that appear and disappear are originally mountain peaks, just like an ink painting. Later, I learned that this is Zhongtiao Mountain.
Yongji city is located at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain. The main peak of Zhongtiao Mountain is about 1800 meters above sea level. The mountain is steep and the rock wall is as sharp as a knife.
At dusk or when there is a lot of floating dust in the air, refraction will occur, just like a mirage, mistaking dark clouds for coming rain.
No wonder Wang Yuheng, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem Zhongtiaoshan: "Standing on the edge of a huge stream, I want to go to heaven.
Far away from Lincang, the sea is exhausted, and the Taihang is high.
A big cross is a ridge, and his mountain stands like a fist.
The soil paste is smooth, and the stone danger is the whip of Qin.
The cave is dark and the rain is crazy, and the peak is cold.
The stork tower outside the city evolved from a military facility in the Northern Zhou Dynasty into a scenic spot. In addition, it is also a place where birds live and a popular place for romantic literati.
The prosperity at that time can also be proved by Cen Can's poem "Su Pujin's Kanto Store in Ling Du"; "Close the door and lock the door, and come home after a night's dream.
The moon sets on the riverside at dawn, and the piano tree cries. "
So one day in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhihuan, together with some friends, was drinking and listening to music at the mirage near Pujinguan Ferry. While drinking wine, he listened to Mei's deep singing, which made generate feel poetic. He looked at the scorching sun outside the window and Zhongtiao Mountain in the distance, and he sang it casually. "The mountain blocks the day", and then looking down at the window, I saw the waves of the Yellow River rolling, and Qian Fan unexpectedly saw that Bai Ke was fighting for the flow, so he blurted out the second sentence "And the sea drains the golden river".
With these two beautiful sentences, it is necessary to point out the literary eye and theme of the poem, so I slowly climbed the stairs and thought about it. When I came to the top of the building, I looked out and saw the excellent scenery, which refreshed me and immediately made me see farther.
So he casually said; But if you walk up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles.
Chang Dang, a poet from Hedong in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote this poem in "The Lodge of Herons", which he described as follows. "He's on a bird, and he was born high on the earth.
The weather surrounds Ye Ping, and rivers pass through the mountains. "This poem is similar to Wang Zhihuan's poem in form and content, but not as elegant, straightforward and fluent as Wang Zhihuan's poem.
There are "mountains" in the poems of Wandering and Wang Zhihuan, as well as In the Lodge of Herons.
The "mountain" referred to in the poem is Zhongtiao Mountain.
Han Yu's poem "A mountain is pale" says: "A mountain is pale and a river is yellow.
The waves are far away, and the pine and cypress are on the hill. "Obviously, the mountain in" Mountain Covers the Day "is the mountain in the poetic realm, and of course it is also the Zhongtiao Mountain that can be seen in front of you.
In the process of creation, the poet combines reality with distance, gives full play to his imagination, and makes the artistic conception of the poem more distant and intriguing.
This is the charm of this poem.
I once went to Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City in the summer evening to enjoy the artistic conception of "Midnight Bell to Passenger Ship". I sat by the river and watched the busy barges on the canal. There was a dim light in the cabin, and the women on the deck squatted by the fire and cooked the family dinner. Those poems engraved in the suburbs and in people's hearts are now being swallowed up by the noisy city and become blurred.
Literati's poems, especially those of the Tang Dynasty, always have great appeal. If you don't go to the place described in the poem, even if you haven't read the poem, you have no culture. Today is a derogatory term for elegance and the subtext of ignorance.
This time I went to Yongji County, took fenglingdu, crossed Tongguan and climbed Mount Huashan in Xiyue, only to understand: "Tai Shigong traveled all over the world, traveled all over the world and made friends with heroes, so his writing was sparse and quite strange." Wang Zhihuan must be: the hometown of Qin and Han Dynasties, the height of Songshan Hua Yue, the aura of heaven and earth, and the traces of the ancients.
