History of Yecheng
Lost Civilization: Yecheng
The ruins of Yecheng are located in Southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei Province, it was once the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It was a place where spring blossomed and singing and dancing flourished. King Cao Cao of Wei once feasted here, wrote poems and expressed his great thoughts, and the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" sang here and discussed the meaning of life. The essence...
But now, these vivid historical images have been lost in the rolling rivers and disappeared in the raging flames of war. All that is left to us are the incomplete ruins of city walls on the ground and broken bricks underground. The tiles silently tell the story of the past prosperity. It is precisely "outside the vast autumn mountains of wild grass, monuments are everywhere turned into barren tombs, thousands of beautiful sights lie on the green moss, and the stone horses in front of the tombs are broken by sharpening their knives" (Zheng Banqiao's poem).
The earliest famous historical figure related to Ye City is Ximen Leopard. When we were in middle school, we all knew the story of "Ximen Leopard Ruled Ye". Ximen Bao was a highly decorated military general who was appointed as Ye Ling by Wei Wenhou. After he took office, he found that the local three elders, witches and other local gentry and officials had nothing to do with the overflowing Zhang River, so they actually came up with the idea of ??"He Bo marrying a wife". Tricks, deceiving and harming people, and taking the opportunity to amass money. So he used his plan to punish the local evil forces. The so-called He Bo refers to Shang Wangming. During the Shang Dynasty, Shang Wangming moved his capital from Shangqiu (today's Puyang, Henan) to Ye. Because Shang Wangming once served as a water official, he was revered as Hebo after his death. It can be seen that Ye City already existed during the Shang Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi rebuilt the city, and during the Warring States Period, it belonged to Wei. During Ximen Bao's rule in Ye, he regulated the Zhang River and built 12 canals along the Zhang River (some say it was built by the Ye Ling Shiqi after Ximen Bao), diverting water from the river to irrigate people's fields, turning harm into benefit, and agricultural production developed rapidly. The output reached 6 stones and 4 buckets, which was a very high output at that time. Ximen Bao also implemented the policy of "locating troops among farmers and storing grain among the people", making Yecheng an important northeastern town of the Wei State during the Warring States Period, laying a solid foundation for Yecheng's future prosperity. What makes people sad today is that this man who made great contributions to the development of the Wei State was falsely accused by some villains, saying that when he governed the Zhanghe River, he abused the people. Although Wei Wenhou did not listen to the slander, his son Wuhou succeeded to the throne. Later, Ximen Leopard was not let go. Ximen Leopard was finally brutally killed and died unjustly.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Yecheng returned to the State of Zhao. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yecheng became Yuan Shao's residence. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu and captured Yecheng. In the 18th year of Jian'an (213), he established his capital in Ye. Although Cao Cao had not proclaimed himself emperor at this time, he had already proclaimed himself king of Wei. He regarded Yecheng as his royal capital and carried out large-scale construction projects, creating the most prosperous period in the history of Yecheng. According to the "Shui Jing Zhu", the city wall was seven miles long from east to west and five miles from north to south. The actual measurement during archaeological excavation was slightly smaller than the record. The outer city has seven gates, and inside the city there are palaces, government offices, gardens, etc., with towers and pavilions dotted all over the city. The "three capitals" in Zuo Si's "Three Capitals" refer to Yecheng, the capital of Wei, Jianye, the capital of Wu, and Chengdu, the capital of Shu. In "Ode to the Capital of Wei", Zuo Si used such language to describe the prosperity of Ye City at that time: "The streets rush together, the Zhuques form corners", "Hundreds of tunnels strike, thousands of columns are connected, and Shi beats the horse with his sleeves. "Fanban", "Chongwei cave comes out, there are many precious trees, luxuriant flowers, the wind is like smoke, and the dew is like sweet wine."
Yecheng is a landmark city in the history of ancient Chinese urban construction. The overall layout of the city adopts the method of central axis symmetry. The city is divided into palace area, noble area and civilian area. This design idea had a huge impact on the urban planning and construction of future generations. Chang'an City, Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Beijing City, the imperial city of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even Nara, Japan, all adopted this pattern.
Among the buildings in Yecheng, the most famous ones are the "Three Terraces", namely the Golden Phoenix Terrace, the Tongque Terrace and the Bingjing Terrace. The three platforms are all built on the city wall in the northwest corner of Yebei City, sixty steps apart, and connected by two bridges in the middle. Zuo Si's "Ode to the Capital of Wei" says: "Three towers stand in rows and stand towering", which vividly describes the architectural image of the three towers. After the completion of Santai, Cao Cao ordered his disciples to come on stage and ask them to compose their own poems. Cao Zhi's words became a chapter and his writing established it, which became a good talk for a while. Among them, the ice well platform is 8 feet high and has 140 houses. It is named because there is a well hiding ice on it.
The well is 15 feet deep and can store a large amount of ice, coal, grain, salt and other items in case of emergency. If Bingjing Terrace is a warehouse, then Tongque Terrace is a dance hall. Tongque Terrace is the main platform of the three platforms, with a height of 10 feet and more than a hundred rooms. Cao Cao also needed to relax his nervous nerves while he was in the army, so he would have dinner and write poems with literati and poets at Tongque Terrace, or Watch the singing and dancing performances of concubines and maids. Sometimes some military and state affairs were discussed here or distinguished guests were received. After Cai Wenji returned to the Han Dynasty from the Huns, Cao Cao received and entertained the poetess on the Tongque Terrace. When people mention Tongque Terrace, people will think of the poem by Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, "The east wind does not agree with Zhou Lang, and the Tongque Spring is locked in two Qiaos." In fact, Tongque Terrace is not famous because of Du Mu's poems, but because of it. ? Gan ㄌ? Xin? Pai Lianpai ジ枌承?br>
Li Bai said in "Xuanzhou Xie Tiao Lou Farewell School Secretary Shu Yun": "Penglai article Jian'an bone, the small Xie in the middle is clear and hairy." They are all full of joy, strong and full of joy, and want to go up to the blue sky to embrace the bright moon." Jian'an bone means Jian'an style. It refers to the poems of the three fathers and sons (Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi) and the Seven Sons of Jian'an who were active in the Jian'an period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (196-219). They have a strong and powerful style of the same style, with clear style and clear thinking. Literary spirit is galloping and literary ideas are flourishing. It is known as "Jian'an style". The Seven Sons of Jian'an include Kong Rong, Chen Lin, Wang Can, Xu Qian, Ruan Yu, Ying Jue, and Liu Zhen. They all live in Yecheng, so they are also called the "Seven Sons of Yezhong". The Seven Sons of Jian'an became an influential school in the history of Chinese literature, thanks to Cao Cao, the leading figure,'s love for poetry creation, and also to the relaxed and stable living environment in Yecheng.
The prosperity of Yecheng did not reach its peak during the Cao Wei era. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shihu, the later Zhao Dynasty, established his capital in Ye. Shihu was a famous tyrant in Chinese history and lived an extremely luxurious life. He also carried out large-scale reconstruction, expansion and additions to the city of Ye. The east and north city gates were rebuilt, and the Qi Dou Tower, Jiuhua Palace, Guanque Terrace, Taiwu Palace, Hualin Garden, and Yuematai were built. The Tongque Terrace project alone increased the height from ten feet to twelve feet, and a five-story building with a height of fifteen feet was built on the platform, with a total height of twenty-seven feet. On the top of the building, there is a bronze bird that is one foot and five feet high, with wings as soft as flying. At that time, Yecheng was like a fairyland with brilliant golden walls.
The sky of history is always changing, and the masters of Yecheng are like a revolving lantern. You sing and I appear. Following Cao Wei and Hou Zhao, Ran Wei, Qian Yan, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi also all had their capitals in Ye. After 350 AD, Zhao was destroyed by Ran Wei. Two years later, Ran Wei was destroyed by Murong Jun of the former Yan Dynasty. In 370 AD, the former Yan State was destroyed by the former Qin Dynasty. Soon after Mukechui established Houyan, he invaded and occupied Yecheng during the war, causing serious damage to Yecheng. In the first year of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the capital was moved from Luoyang to Yecheng. The following year, large-scale construction of Nanye City began. A city wall was built between the north and south cities. The former site of Nancheng is in today's Anyang, Henan Province. Later, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was renamed the Northern Qi Dynasty. In 577 AD, the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty. After capturing Yecheng, he burned this thousand-year-old capital to the ground with a fire, and the prosperity of the Six Dynasties was instantly wiped out.
When Yecheng was first built, the inner city was on the south bank of Zhangshui River. Later, the Zhangshui River moved southward. Today, the ruins of the inner city are on the north bank of Zhangshui River. With strong ambitions and hegemony, only a bunch of broken buildings are left. The tiles, patterned bricks, chi heads, and column foundations make people sigh with emotion, and they can't help but think of the saying that the common people often say: Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river.
