Just getting off the bus, three huge characters "Baozhuyan" appeared in front of me. How did this original pavilion become Baozhuyan? With this question, I turned left and right, climbed 100 stone steps, and finally reached the "Chongsheng Gate". "Walk into the Millennium Road of Shanmen and look back at colorful couplets." When you read such childish and exciting couplets, people in a bad mood will feel relieved and relaxed just by looking at its meaning. When I entered the sacred gate, I looked up. From the walls to the beams, they are all ancient paintings of Gu Yan, with peaches and plums competing for spring and swallows flying. There are elegant books and songs and dances; There is a boat passing by in a hurry, playing with pearls in Kowloon ... After passing the Chongsheng Gate and climbing seventeen steps, you can see the Daoyuan Pavilion. It is said that the pavilion was originally a wooden structure, but it was changed to a stone structure in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1736- 1795), and the existing monument was solemnly built in the Qing Dynasty. The whole pavilion tower is a hollow stone-like wooden structure with three floors and six corners, all made of hard granite. There are six circular stone pillars and three stone bridges on each floor, and two giant beams are added between floors to make the pavilion tower more solid and firm! The first railing bridge on the first floor has a hollow column arch for tourists to enter and exit, and the other five lanes are used as railing chairs for tourists to rest and enjoy the cool. The ground floor is 24.72 square meters, with six one-meter-high guardrails and pavilions paved in a pattern of "Tai Chi on six sides in the middle circle". Total height 12.32 meters, with a golden gourd-shaped tower brake at the top. A "Long Mai" extends from the tile beam between each floor, and the "faucet" is straight up ... The whole pavilion is patchwork, closely connected and exquisite in craftsmanship. On the two stone pillars facing the stream at the bottom, a pair of stone couplets carved over hundreds of years are carved. Jingshan is towering, and the peak head goes straight to the roots of heaven. "There are railings on the second and third floors, and the difference from the first floor is that six octagonal stone pillars are used.
If you don't pay attention, it's hard to find-just below the pillar, there is an ancient tomb, and the descendants of the present owner are still sweeping the grave. It is said to be "still sweeping", which can be seen from the laying of gorgeous modern tiles and incense sticks. It is said that there is also a legendary story: in ancient times, the tomb owner was surrounded by people, but he was a very hardworking person. After doing farm work at home, he went up the mountain to cut wood and went home to cook ... However, one day he went to the mountain and didn't come back until evening. The family searched everywhere, every mountain and every dangerous river ... until the gong rang in the middle of the night, they still couldn't find it. The family had to wait until dawn to find it. The next day, the whole village went out and they looked for him for a long time. It was not until the afternoon that they found him under the pavilion-there was a load of firewood, a water hyacinth and a lot of unfinished dry food beside him ... Groups of ants moved into the small soil bit by bit and buried it carefully ... His family hurried home to get some desserts and rice to entertain them. However, the famous local Feng Shui master looked at the surrounding geography and customs and said, "This is his home. There is no better treasure than this." He looked at the lush mountains behind him, pointed to the opposite Wan Li, the mighty river and the sail mast on the Xiangjiang River and said, "This is the' Pearl' highland. Being able to rest in peace here is' the will of heaven is dry, and the ants follow God's will', and future generations will be brilliant and promoted to a higher position! There is no need to choose another one. " After hearing this, the family felt very reasonable and buried him on the spot. It is said that since then, his family and future generations have lived well and smoothly. This folk story about Daoyuan Pavilion is well-written and reasonable, which proves that "there must be good people in heaven."
Walking down the original pavilion, we visited the "Zhou Lian Creek Temple". It is a single-entry arcade temple with a total area of 1.58 square meters, with carved beams and painted buildings as a whole. Entering Zhou Lian Creek Temple, there are three statues enshrined in the temple, which are lifelike and solemn. In the middle is Confucius (55 BC1-479 BC), on which the wooden tablet is engraved with the words "model for all generations" and the red silk is embroidered with the words "learning to be excellent is to be an official". On the left is Zhou Wengong, that is, Zhou Lian Creek (A.D. 10 17- 1073), with the title of "Master of Mathematics and Physics" on the wooden tablet and the word "Kejiaji" embroidered on the red silk; On the right is Zhu Wengong, that is, Zhu (A.D.11200), inscribed with the words "Teacher of Neo-Confucianism" and embroidered with red silk. I don't understand this. Why is Confucius in the middle, not the Confucius Temple in Zhong Ni, but the Zhou Lian Creek Temple? In ancient China, there were strict distinctions. Not to mention the ancestral temple, as far as the ancient imperial court of China is concerned, this is the place where the officials of civil and military officials hold court meetings to discuss state affairs, because there is a saying that "the civil servants write down the world and the military attache gets on the horse to decide"! So it must be "Donghuamen civil servants go, Xihuamen military attache goes"; Standing classes are also based on the emperor's "sitting north facing south", and the style of writing is left and right, and the style of writing is big and small. Although the three statues in the "Zhou Lian Creek Temple" were all made by educated students, they can't be like this. With this question, I asked the administrator of the temple, and he told me that there was no statue of Confucius here, which was moved from the old county capital of Nanjing during the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing Jingcheng was bombed twice by Japanese planes, once at 8: 00 am on May 7, 1939, and once on April 26, 1940. In the second air raid, the Japanese plane dispatched four planes and dropped two bombs, one of which landed in front of the Chenghuang Temple, destroying the ancestral temple and six houses. The statue of Confucius was rediscovered at that time and moved here. Confucius is a master of China's culture and thoughts, the founder of Confucianism, and has the title of "model for all generations", so he put the statue of Zhou Wengong in a big position on the left, but the name of the temple remains the same, or "Zhou Lian Creek Temple". I didn't understand why until I heard it.
Daoyuan Pavilion and Zhou Lian Creek Temple are located in Shangzhai Village, Jingcheng Town, which is famous for the legendary story of "Seven Children and Five Middle Schools". "Nanjing County Records" (Qingganlong Edition) records: "There are five peaks around the temple, and two big hats are hedges. The mountains are like stars, and the lights are like torches. Since then, there have been many subjects underground. " The twenty-eighth volume of the Annals of Nanjing County (Manuscript of the Republic of China), Congtan, records that "during the Xinmao period of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (AD 14 1 1), seven students from the same city went to the province to try, and five people were recommended: Li Zhen, Lai Qing, Jiang Cheng, Zhang Ji and Lu Run." Therefore, the earliest entry into the company was in the Xin Mao year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty. At that time, seven people went to the province to try, and five of them. In the 13th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 14 15), Jiang Cheng (Yanta people) became a scholar again. In the same year, Li Zhen won the second place again, ranking second, and was awarded the editor of the Academy of Academician.
According to a manuscript of the Republic of China in volume 14 of Nanjing County Records (Wu Qinke), "Wu Xizhang, Yi Wei (1775), was appointed as a bodyguard." Wu, the top scholar, is also a native of Shangzhai Village, Jingcheng Town, and once served as a bodyguard of Qianlong Imperial Command. It is said that there is a short story in "Gong Kao": Maybe it is because of fatigue from the journey, maybe it is because of nervousness. He suddenly dropped his hand while dancing a 120 Jin broadsword. In desperation, he made a hook with his right foot, took back the broadsword, then threw it up, caught it with both hands, and then swung it in generously ... The whole round was really cool and heroic. When Emperor Qianlong saw it, he was very happy and asked himself what moves he had. Wu Xizhang used his quick wits and quickly replied, "Kuixing kicked the bucket." As a result, he was appointed as the first armor champion by Emperor Qianlong, awarded the official position of imperial guard, and was awarded four titles of Wude Riding Commandant.
Then, we boarded the sacred gate and looked around. The Xiangjiang River water diversion project in the east has made part of the water flowing slowly eastward to the west, making Daoyuan Pavilion an island surrounded by water on three sides, and even surrounded by water on all sides (when the water is heavy). Seen from a height, the lush Daoyuan Pavilion has become a round "pearl" protruding from the water. What's more, there is a saying among the people in the "Pearl" area that "Zhu Bao is full of vitality, with seven sons and five sons admitted to the college". Therefore, the reputation of "Baozhuyan" naturally formed.
This shows that "Baozhuyan" area is not only a good place for sightseeing, but also a place with a very strong cultural atmosphere. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were five juren, one scholar and two top scholars in history. Among them, the champion is still a skill!
There is a wise saying in ancient times that "there is a blessing in the land, and there are houses in it". It seems that people should start a business, rest and choose a place that is "livable and suitable for business". The so-called "near Zhu Zhechi, near Mexico is black" is also true. Think about it: people are working hard for a better tomorrow and a bright future, so who is not working hard to make progress?
