What role did Wang Tengting play in ancient times?

Wang Tengting, one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River [1], is an unparalleled masterpiece in the history of Han architecture. Located on the east bank of Ganjiang River along Jiang Yan Road in the northwest of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, it was built in the fourth year of Yonghui in Tang Dynasty. It was named after the founding of Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, and it was spread to later generations because of the poem "The sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn water is * * * the sky is one color" written by Wang Bo, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. [2]

During the Zhenguan period, the son of Tang Taizong's younger brother Li Yuan was once named, and Tengzhou built an attic named Wang Tengge (destroyed). Later, Wang Teng Li Yuanying was transferred to Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) in the south of the Yangtze River. Because he missed his hometown, he built the famous Wang Tengting Pavilion in Tengzhou. This pavilion is known to later generations because of Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion.

Wang Tengting, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei and Yueyang Tower in Hunan are also called "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River". In history, the Wang Teng Pavilion was rebuilt 29 times, and was destroyed and rebuilt again and again.

Wang Tengting was founded in the fourth year of Tang Yonghui (AD 653), and Li Yuanying, the son of Li Yuan, was the secretariat of Hongzhou.

In the second year of Shangyuan (675), Gong Yan, the prefect of Hongzhou, rebuilt the pavilion, and Wang Bo wrote a farewell preface for Wang Tengting in Hongfu in autumn. [4]

In the second year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty (1 108), Fan Tan, the magistrate of Hongzhou, Jiangxi, rebuilt the pavilion, and the Prime Minister Fan wrote "Rebuilding the Pavilion" for him, saying: The pavilion "worships 30 feet and is 40 feet wider than the old base, increasing by one tenth. The two pavilions in the north and south are surrounded by the city: the hero of the great river in the south calls it' pressing the river' and the show of the western hills in the north calls it' Cui Cui'. "

Wang Tengting in Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by several wars. In the 31st year of Yuan Dynasty (1294), Wang Tengting was rebuilt for the first time, with a height of five feet and six feet.

In the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), it was rebuilt by Chen Hongmo, an imperial consultant of the capital, and was completed in February of the following year. Luo Qinshun, the official minister, wrote Rebuilding Wang Teng Pavilion, saying, "There are seven pavilions, two feet high, and they are still there."

In the 18th year of Kangxi (1679), Wang Tengting was destroyed by fire and rebuilt by Shi Ding. In the 24th year of Kangxi (1685), the pavilion was burnt down again and rebuilt by Luo Song, a middle city. In the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), another fire broke out in the pavilion, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Jiangxi, rebuilt Wang Tengting Pavilion. [5]

In April of the third year of Xianfeng (1853), Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was ordered to leave Anqing, and Lai and his army attacked Nanchang. In March, the Qing army was firmly guarded by Anhui Governor Jiang Zhongyuan, General Li Guangkuan was killed by Taiping Army, and Wang Teng Pavilion was burned to ashes.

At the end of Guangxu (1908), the pavilion was burned down again and rebuilt in Xuantong Yuannian (1909). At this time, the Qing court was at home and abroad, and the people were in poverty, and the scale of building the museum was not as good as before.
