Along the way, I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery on both sides of the highway in winter, and I actually got lost. Fortunately, under the guidance of a friend's phone, I finally arrived at this fascinating legendary ancient town. The word "peace" in the place name "Heping Ancient Town" sounds very interesting. I can't figure out why the Jinshi in the village gave their ancestral land such a seemingly mediocre name. However, chewing slowly seems to be worth a taste. It is introverted and peaceful, which embodies a kind of cultivation and accomplishment. Is there any Confucian philosophy in this?
Heping town, which started in the Tang Dynasty, has a history of thousands of years and has accumulated a strong humanistic culture and local customs. There are many buildings here, such as family ancestral temple in Hui Hong, which still stands tall in the tide of history. There are well-preserved ancient residential buildings. If you walk into the "first old street in Fujian", it is really three steps and one scene, and all kinds of carved beams and painted buildings are amazing. There are profound brick carvings, flying dragons, flowers and birds, lifelike plant images, magnificent pavilions and beautiful wheels with white walls and green tiles. Stepping on the gravel road in the ancient city, it is as flat as a mirror, and the body and mind seem to be condensed in the picture scroll of history and spread with the driveway.
Today, we don't feel the prosperity of the first ancient street in Fujian, but wander around the periphery of Heping ancient town. Surrounded by mountains, it is a farmland with poor traffic. Several fat ducks are frolicking in the field for food. In the distance, there are hoes held high by the old farmers and shouts of hey hey. There is a stream winding in the field with their footsteps. Occasionally, a few clumps of calamus can be found squatting on a stream stone in running water. It is said that this thing is indifferent to the cold in winter. After several breezes, the ancient town of Heping has a unique paradise, as quiet and quaint as a dream mirror.
Under the guidance of the tour guide, we listened to many historical sites and legends about "Zhao's Ancestral Hall, Tombstones, Hui 'an Support, Ancestral Hall and Bailiantang", which was quite shocking. Among them, there are two big families in the local area who are deeply touched by the rise and fall. First of all, the Shangguan family was indeed a very prestigious family in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The film and television work "Wu Zetian" has such characters as Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Waner, and it is about the prosperity of Shangguan clan at that time. The genealogy of Taiping Shangguan recorded the poem "One scholar with nine talents and one scholar with two qualities", which also showed the prosperity of Taiping Shangguan in the court at that time. It is the great ambition of ancient students to learn officials and sell royalty. However, although the emperors of past dynasties were like tigers, the intrigue in ancient times was also thrilling. With the change of dynasties, the Shangguan family gradually withdrew from the stage, and Shangguan Shi slowly weathered into sand like a huge stone, lost in the historical trend.
Huang, another local historical figure, is very wise. He rebelled against ancestral teachings and learned to be an official, leading his descendants out of a different road and the Huang family onto the road to prosperity. In Tang Zhaozong (about 890), Huang Qiao was appointed as the highest minister of the Ministry of Industry. Later, he abandoned his official position and retired, founded the Peace Academy, and taught future generations to aspire to study. He has twenty-one sons. At the age of eighty, he wrote a poem to bid farewell to his sons: "I believe Madden City will go to a different place, and I will find a resort to make a difference." I think I am still in my country, I am in a foreign country, that is, my hometown. "Then I only left my third wife's eldest son, and the rest 18 people were sent to scattered places. Men are ambitious. This is an exciting family history of the legendary swordsman. After thousands of years of accumulation, Huang's son-in-law at that time is now famous in Fiji and abroad.
Two once big families rose and fell, some of which we can only recall history, and some of which are still swimming in the long river of history. Thinking of the present, it is better for Huang to go abroad with great wisdom and courage, break through the shackles of the country, seek common development of China, carry out regional cooperation on a larger scale, at a higher level and at a deeper level, and work together to build an open, inclusive, balanced and inclusive regional economic cooperation framework. * * * Building the "Belt and Road" highlights the common ideal and beautiful pursuit of human society and will add new positive energy to world peace and development.
One day's tour time is very short, and I feel too much cultural charm, and my heart is surging. Looking back at peace, the four characters of "Peace Ancient Town" shine in the sun. It is great wisdom to use the word peace, but it takes thousands of years to understand the meaning of peace.
