1. "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" has been a household name for hundreds of years as an immortal sentence praising Guilin's landscape. However, the origin of this famous saying has been unresolved.
The academic circles have been arguing about the origin of this sentence. Textual research in the past dynasties, some people think that it was transformed from what Fan Chengda said in the Song Dynasty, "The beauty of Guilin should be the best in the world"; Some people think that it originated from the phrase "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and there is no police for three years" in the article "Rebuilding Xiangnan Building" by Zengbo Li, a history of Guizhou in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Later generations used this quotation and turned it into the best landscape in Guilin. It is also said that "Guilin's landscape falls first" in the poem "Water Plants on the Lijiang River" by Jin Wuxiang, governor of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty. There are Zhang Xun's "Guilin's landscape is the crown of Heng Xiang", Deng Gong's "Guilin Cave is the crown of the world", and Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Guilin's landscape is the crown of the southeast" and so on. For hundreds of years, people were not sure where this famous saying was written.
3. It was not until 1983 that Yang Yinsheng, a master of stone carving in Guilin, found an unknown stone tablet under the stalactite while carving the stone of Du Xiufeng. One of the poems is "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and its jade color is clear." According to the Preface to the Poem Monument, this poem was written by the magistrate Wang of Jingjiang during the Qing Dynasty and Jiatai Period in the Southern Song Dynasty. Thus ending the endless debate for a hundred years. This discovery predates the original statement by 685 years.
4. Eight hundred years ago, in Song Dynasty, Wang, who was in charge of Guangxi's political supervision, gave a farewell speech to Guilin candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam, and put forward the theory that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" for the first time. Wang Yisheng is an honest official, not afraid of powerful people. Therefore, he has been an official for decades, and although he has achieved considerable political achievements and won the praise of the people, he has never been able to rise to the top. In the sixth year of Qingyuan, he was promoted to be the magistrate of Guangnan West Road in Guilin. At that time, he was 68 years old. The first year of Jiatai coincides with the year when the annual output value is greater than the annual output value. Guangxi provincial unified examination 1 1. Wang was so happy for the students that he hosted a banquet for the students who were selected at the banquet. When drinking with students, Wang Zuoshi encouraged each other to be full of ambition, and wrote two seven laws: "It is always difficult to have a hundred peaks and a thousand peaks in ancient Guizhou." My crown should be a saint, who is not a Taoist. Far-reaching economic talent, vertical and horizontal etiquette and music relative. Three kings and eight handsome have a rural show and sit firmly on the top of Tianjin. ""Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and I can refer to it. During the period, there was no enthusiasm for joining the army, and the literary field was like a battlefield. After nine passes, you can see the enemy's situation. Wan Li Kunpeng is in the play. The old eyes are clear, and the heroes fight against the south. "
The phrase "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" spread all over China from this wine table and was sung for a long time. Later, a man named Zhang Ciliang carved these two poems completely on the rock reading at the southern foot of the famous scenic spot Duxiufeng. Soon after the poem was written, there was a case in which Xing 'an county magistrate connived at his son's killing of a small county official. Wang was falsely accused of being dismissed for enforcing the law impartially and violating the unspoken rules of officialdom. Maybe it's because the king was dismissed from office. I don't know if the parties covered the stone tablet above Redding Rock in order to get away, or because after years of wind and rain, the sediment between the rock walls covered the stone tablet and soon disappeared. As time goes by, there is only one sentence left in the world: "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world."
Although Wang Zuoshi's original intention was not to praise Guilin's landscape, he hoped that the students would make further progress in their studies and make themselves as beautiful as Guilin's landscape in their studies. However, the poem "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" has become the most general, vital and classic poem praising Guilin's landscape over time, which has contained everyone's imagination and made Guilin's landscape famous all over the world.
7. At the poetry seminar on "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" held later, China poetry and cultural experts agreed that this sentence was written by the king of the Southern Song Dynasty. Hong Benjian, a professor of Chinese Department of East China Normal University, said that Wang's poems highlighted the beauty of mountains, water, caves and rocks, and established Guilin's position as a scenic tourist city in China and even the world.
