The Longshui Years of Zizhou Longshui County and its County Magistrate Fan Zuyu

Zi Zhi Tong Jian is a famous chronicle general history work in the history of Chinese history, edited by Sima Guang. As one of his right-hand assistants, Fan Zuyu played an important role in compiling "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" under Sima Guang in Luoyang for 15 years. In December of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1084), Sima Guang spoke highly of him in his "Recommendation to Fan Zuyu" written to the emperor, saying, "Fan Zuyu is intelligent and gentle, but can't speak well; he is eager to learn, can write, and is humble. Being dark and not attacking is as if you have nothing; being upright and upright but not showing the corner of your body is like being overwhelmed by clothes... In the third year of Xining, I reported that Zu Yu had known about the affairs of Longshui County in Zizhou, and he had compiled "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" with him, from beginning to end to this day. "Fifteen years."

In the story of "Three Fans Compiling History", Fan Zuyu inherited the past and connected the future. He was Fan Zhen (who participated in the compilation of "Records of Renzong", "Notes on Living Life", and "New Book of Tang"). , "Leibian", etc.), Fan Chong (who once presided over the reconstruction of the records of Song Shenzong and Song Zhezong) is his eldest son. He wrote 12 volumes of "Tang Jian", 8 volumes of "Emperor's Learning", 6 volumes of "Benevolent Emperor's Political Code", 55 volumes of "Fan Taishi Collection", etc. Especially "Tang Jian" "profoundly understands the chaos of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years. Scholars respect him as 'Tang Jiangong'"

Fan Zuyu, also known as Chunfu (Chun, Chun, Chun, Fu or Fu), was born in Huayang, Chengdu (now Shuangliu, Sichuan Province). County), was born in the second year of Kangding of Renzong of Song Dynasty (1041) and died in October 1st, the first year of Yuanfu of Zhezong of Song Dynasty (1098), at the age of fifty-eight. In the eighth year of Jiayou's reign (1063), Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, 22-year-old Fan Zuyu passed the imperial examination and was elected as a scholar in the examination school. The following year, the first year of Zhiping of Song Yingzong (1064), Fan Zuyu went to serve as the magistrate of Longshui County in Zizhou, where he served for more than three years. In the fourth year of Zhiping (1067), he left due to "Sima Guangpi and his compilation of Zizhi Tongjian". appoint. "Fan Zhidao Zu Yu's Biography" records that "in the eighth year of Jiayou's reign, he was awarded the title of Jinshi, and he was awarded the title of Examination School Secretary, and he knew Longshui County, Zizhou." Youge was waiting for the system, and in the second year of Jianyan, he was restored to the bachelor's degree of Longtuge. "

Longshui County is located in the middle reaches of Longshui River and Longshui Village in Falun Town, Zizhong County, Sichuan Province. In the second year of Yining (618) of Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court separated some villages and towns from Panshi County of Zizhou in order to resettle the surrendered barbarians, "Zhongxia, Longshui. One hundred and forty-five miles west of the state. Wuxiang. Baitu, Lai The five towns of She, Dongjin, Longji and Laiguan have Longshui" ("Yuanfeng Jiuyu Zhi? Volume 7? Zizhou Road"). "Yuanhe County Map" records, "Longshui County, Zhong. One hundred and twenty miles east of the prefecture. This is the Han capital of Zhong County. In the second year of Yining, the barbarians were recruited and Longshui County was divided here. "

Yili is a disparaging name given to the southwest ethnic minorities by the ancient Central Plains court. "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Southwest Yi" believes: "The Yi Xian Xian believed that the Bamboo King was not born of blood, and it was very important to seek to establish the queen." "Tongkao of Documents" pointed out that "Shu originally had no animals, but during the Jin and Li Dynasties, all the They first came out of Brazil, Quchuan, Guanghan, Yang'an, Zizhong, Qianwei, and Zilu (in today's Shuchuan), and spread out in the valleys. More than ten thousand of them fell, conquering counties and counties, and became a serious problem for Yizhou after Huan Wen defeated Shu. It can't be controlled. The people of Shu flow eastward, and the dangerous mountainous areas are empty, so the dogs take advantage of the mountains and valleys to live with people. Those who live in the mountains will lose rent and wealth; those who live in the mountains are bandits." "Yuanhe County. "Tuzhi" records that Zizhou "was the county of Zizhong in Qianwei County in the Han Dynasty. During Li Xiong's rebellion, the barbarians lived there." Under the entry "Huan", the deeds of Wei Wensheng, the governor of Zizhou in the Sui Dynasty, were recorded, "In the Sui Dynasty, Wei Wensheng was from Luoyang. In the early days of Renshou, Shanxi was in trouble, and he became the governor of Zizhou to calm him down. He built his camp alone and said to the group: "I am the governor, and I have ordered you to gather together. Don't be afraid. No thieves dare to move." So he said that it was profitable. The commander was pleased and dismissed his troops. There are more than 100,000 people. Emperor Gaozu gave him two thousand horses. They fell in love with each other for hundreds of miles and parted ways like Longshui County. The establishment of such counties for the purpose of recruiting barbarians was not a special case; there were many at that time. "Yuanhe Prefectures and Counties Map" has relevant records, "Heyi County... This is a county in the capital of Han Dynasty... Heyi County was divided into Heyi County in the twelfth year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty to recruit Heyi dogs, so it was named Heyi." "Weiyuan County... was originally a county in Zizhong County of the Han Dynasty. In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, the Weiyuan garrison was built here to recruit wild animals. In the eleventh year, the garrison was transformed into a county and belonged to Zizhou."

Longshui The origin of the county's name is related to the stream in its northwest. "There is a stream in the northwest of the county, which curves around the city like a dragon, so it is named after it" ("Yuanhe County Map"), and "there is a stream that curves and wraps around like a dragon. There is also a turtle mountain, and the city is based on the mountain." "Zhi" says: The Sui Dynasty established the county in Guilong River" ("Records of Fangyu Reading History"). "Tongzhi of Sichuan" writes, "Longshui is in the northwest of Longshui County in the south of the state. It flows from Renshou County and crosses the state to Panshi and enters the Zhongjiang River." "Fangyu Shenglan" records that "Longshui is in Longshui County Northwest."

Longshui County was under the jurisdiction of Zizhou from the beginning until it was abolished due to war. "Tongkao Liangzhou" records that "Tang Dynasty was Zizhou, or Ziyang County, belonging to Jiannan Road, with eight counties: Panshi, Ziyang, Neijiang, Yinshan, Danshan, Longshui, Yueshan and Qingxi. In the fifth year of Emperor Qiande's reign in the Song Dynasty, the four counties of Yueshan, Danshan, Yinshan and Qingxi were included in the four counties of Tongchuan...Panshi, Ziyang, Neijiang and Longshui."

In the second year of Xuanhe (1120), Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Longshui County was renamed Zichuan County, and then restored to Longshui County. "Song Hui Yao Collection: Fangyu Seven" records, "Zichuan County was formerly Longshui County. It was changed in the second year of Xuanhe and is now Longshui County.

"In the third year of Chunyou of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1243), Longshui County was abandoned due to war. "History of the Song Dynasty? Volume 89" records, "In the second year of Xuanhe, Longshui was changed to Zichuan, and then it was restored to its original place in the third year of Chunyou. Waste. "From 618 to 1243, Longshui County was established as a county for 625 years. In the Qing Dynasty, Longshui County was called Longshui Township. Today, there is Longshui Village in Falun Town, Zizhong County. In 2007, the Longshui County site was renamed by Sichuan The provincial government announced it as a provincial cultural relic protection unit.

Longshui County, like Yueshan County, Yinshan County, and Danshan County under the jurisdiction of Zizhou at that time, was a small county. "Sichuan Guangji" records that there is Longtan in Longshui County, and there is a poem on its stone wall: "The accumulated rain is new and clear, and the sky is clear and refreshing. Exploring the secluded life and traveling, happiness is hard to come by. "Longshui County" has a stele of Emperor Zhaolie, which is shaped like a square pillar, with a top like a pot, and one-third of the text is peeled off. Shaoxing Bingyin, Sun Yuanji Shu. "

"Fan Zuyu of the imperial dynasty slaughtered the dragon water in peace" ("Fangyu Shenglan·Volume 63"). Fan Zuyu wrote in "The Boat Trip into Zizhou on a Moonlit Night", "Recalling yesterday's sleep on the blue sky In the mountains, there are green trees and osmanthus trees. The white clouds serve as a screen and the stone serves as a pillow, and green radish hangs in the sky. Suddenly, I took a boat and floated across the river. The mountains and the moon were still here with me. The egret flew into the mist. The green mountains lie at the bottom of Cangbo. At this time, the solitary boat was flowing in the middle of the stream, and the waves behind the river stopped to listen to the boat singing. Unlearned, Ziyou returned at night and wanted to take advantage of the bright moon to go to Zizhou. "He has a beautiful vision and yearning for Longshui, Zizhou, where he is about to take office.

However, the reality is not so beautiful. Longshui County is not located on a major transportation road and is not very rich in product resources. Only "New Book of Tang" records, "Longshui, Zhong. It was purchased in the second year of Yining. There is salt. "Although the environment here is quiet and the people are simple, the material and cultural life of the villagers are lacking and even barren. For this reason, after Fan Zuyu took office, he was not only diligent and pragmatic, upright and honest, but also often went deep into the countryside to understand the sufferings of the people. He encouraged the people to farm, especially attaching great importance to education, and vigorously built schools. He founded Longshui Academy in Longshui County and hired teachers with large sums of money. "Sichuan General Chronicle" records, "Fan Zuyu, courtesy name Chunfu, served as Zizhou Long during Zhiping. Shui Ling, lenient and caring for the people, especially the development of schools as the first priority. "As one of the early academies in my country, Longshui Academy and the so-called "Four Academies" Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan, Yingtianfu Academy in Shangqiu, Henan, and Songyang Academy in Dengfeng belong to the same era and were all built. Around 1000 AD.

Under the guidance of Fan Zuyu, the people of Zizhou enjoyed reading and competed to cultivate talents. According to the records of Zizhou Zhili Prefecture, there were no people in Zizhou during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Before Fan Zuyu established the school, Zizhou only passed 9 Jinshi examinations. Then in the second year of Yuanfeng and the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Zizhou passed the examinations of Yao Tengyao, Yao Zongyao, He Silao and others. Wang Nanzhong has 8 Jinshi. It can be said that Fan Zuyu made a positive contribution to the emergence of talents in Zizhou in the Song Dynasty and even later, and the situation of "the best literary style in southern Sichuan" cited the "Old Chronicles". The custom of Zizhou is that “the nature of the people is actually content with farming and studying. "To this day, in the famous eunuch temple of Zizhong Confucian Temple, which is a national cultural relic protection unit, there is a tablet that reads "The position of Fan Zuyu, the magistrate of Longshui County".

Fan Zuyu was a generous and simple man. After he was busy with government affairs, he still did not forget He read and wrote, and often went to the fields to chat with old farmers and observe the growth of crops. Under his governance, Longshui County was harmonious and prosperous, and there were no more people to complain about grievances, so that the county government became a paradise for birds. , the official seal awarded by the imperial court was mossed due to little use. "Sichuan Guangji" wrote, "Fan Zuyu knew Longshui County, and the poem "Gongyu Jixing" said: The county gate is leaning against the rock valley, facing the green peak all day long. At the beginning of his official career, he was employed as a minister and spent three winters studying. Forget about the machine and watch the gulls, watch the crops and get close to the old farmers. The court can be crowded with birds, sealed with moss and copper seals. "According to textual research, "Gongyu Jixing" should have quoted part of Fan Zuyu's poem "Send the Seven Masters to Longshui". The full content of the poem is "The mountains and rivers are winding, and they are as depressed as a coiled dragon. There are bamboos on the edge of the stream, and there are many long pines on the ridge. The hanging door leans against the rock, facing the green peak all day long. When I first became an official, I was once a prime minister, and I spent three winters studying. Forgetting the opportunity, the gull bird persuades the farmers to be close to the old farmers. The court can be crowded with birds, and the bronze seal is sealed with green moss. You have been here for thirty years, and I have been dreaming of you. In the dusty world of Beijing and Luo, we may meet each other. In his later years, he went to Yutang, where the Heavenly Gate was nine levels deep. Thinking about the cold pool green washes my mind. Sending my son back to the southwest, I hate that I have no wings to follow. The people who thanked me for my country are now ashamed of their gray hair. "However, individual words such as "county", "gu", "borrow", "guan" and "moss" are different.

During his tenure as the magistrate of Longshui County, Fan Zuyu also visited the strange mountains in Zizhou He wrote many poems about different waters and historical sites, such as "Zishui", "Eight Poems in Zizhong", "Dongjin Temple on Zizhou Road", and "Twenty-Four Rhymes of the Fever on July 5th when the fever subsides and the joy of the coolness is felt in Zizhong". , "Zishan", "Jiatan Mountain", "Zizhou Road Yueshan Pavilion", "I heard the sound of Yugou at night", etc., left precious historical and cultural heritage. Fan Zuyu's poems also further confirmed the "Sichuan". According to "Tongzhi", "The golden furnace is in front, and the branches and pools are behind it; beautiful mountains emerge one after another, and water flows around. "Fangyu Shenglan" contains, "The mountains and rivers are the best in Zuoshu, and the British capital is the best county with the dragon's head." ""Sichuan Guangji" records, "In the dozen or so counties in the east of Shu, the beauty of landscapes dare not compete with Zizhong, and the same goes for the cultural relics.
