As we all know, "Great Rivers and Mountains" was written and engraved on the Great Wall of Dajingmen in Zhangjiakou in the spring of 1927 by Gao Weiyue, the capital of Chahar Special Administrative Region. It has only been 85 years since then, and it is relatively recent in the inscriptions preserved in Zhangjiakou area, and the status of the inscriptions is not the same as that of emperors and generals.
Now, we should take it as the brand of Zhangjiakou city image.
people can't help asking, what's good about the inscription "Great Rivers and Mountains"? Why did we choose it among so many inscriptions? The author wants to talk to you about some personal views on this issue.
Yes, there are indeed many celebrity inscriptions in our Zhangjiakou area. Some of these inscriptions are magnificent and some are vigorous, which is a valuable heritage of Zhangjiakou's history and culture.
Among them, there are well-known tablets of "Shenjing Pinghan" written by Emperor Qing Qianlong in the 11th year of Qianlong (1746) on the Shuolou Building in Xuanhua Town, and the tablets of "Towering Rock Borders", "Sound Passing Nature" and "Zhenjing Border Atmosphere" inscribed by Wu Wei, a soldier in Koubei, during the Qianlong period of Shangqing in Xuanhua, qingyuan pavilion, in the 6th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Yuxian, the censor of Zhili, made a tour of the cliff stone inscription entitled "Shuofang Barrier" for the cliff in Yunzhou, Chicheng, and the "Heart-washing" tablet inscribed for Chicheng Hot Springs by Prince Shao Shi and Heshuo Eguo Gengzhaozhong in the 1th year of the Qing Emperor Kangxi (1671).
These inscriptions have their own merits, adding luster to Zhangjiakou.
However, the author thinks that if these inscriptions are compared with the inscription of "Great Rivers and Mountains", we can still appreciate the advantages of the inscription of "Great Rivers and Mountains".
For example, the tablet "Shenjing Pinghan" gives an accurate evaluation of Xuanhua's historical position, that is, during the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Xuanhua was the Pinghan of the capital, but it can't sum up other major historical events that occurred in Zhangjiakou before that, such as the ancient human activities in Nihewan and the battle and integration of Chinese Wensanzu in Zhuolu.
For another example, the "Shuofang Barrier" cliff stone carving gives a very vivid portrayal of the dangerous terrain of Sheshen Cliff, but it focuses on the military aspect and cannot completely cover the political, economic and cultural contents of Zhangjiakou.
Only the inscription "Great Rivers and Mountains" on the Dajingmen Great Wall in Zhangjiakou can cover the whole history of Zhangjiakou, as well as its political, economic and cultural connotations.
"Great rivers and mountains" is not only a praise for Zhangjiakou city, but also a praise for the whole Zhangjiakou area, a praise for Zhangjiakou history and a praise for Zhangjiakou reality.
so, we can say that the beauty of "great rivers and mountains" is that it has a wide range of universality, and it is suitable for all places in Zhangjiakou. The beauty is that it has profound connotations, and it is refreshing after being watched a hundred times.
The author also thinks that the good thing about the "Great Rivers and Mountains" plaque is that it is not inferior to other plaques on the Great Wall of Wan Li, and even can catch up with others.
The Great Wall of Wan Li is the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of the working people in our country. The majestic Great Wall of Wan Li has been up and down for 2, years, with a length of 1, miles, and there are countless passes on its dragon-like wall.
There are many plaques on these passes, which add color to the Great Wall.
These distinctive Great Wall plaques add charm to the profound and rich Great Wall culture.
The most famous plaques on the Great Wall are: the "First Pass in the World" inscribed on the East Gate of Shanhaiguan in the 22nd year of Qing Daoguang (1842); The plaque of "The First Xiongguan in the World" inscribed in the 12th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1873) on Jiayuguan Pass.
On the Great Wall in Hebei Province, the famous plaques are: Zijingguan "Zisai Jincheng" and Jingxingguan "The thoroughfare of Shanxi and Shaanxi" and "The thoroughfare of three provinces".
With their vivid brushstrokes, these plaques vividly show the unique and important positions of Shanhaiguan, Jiayuguan, Zijingguan and Jingxingguan in the Great Wall of Wan Li, and they are worthy of being historic plaques.
These famous plaques have a common feature, they all describe the important position of the pass where they are located, and they are all people's sighs when they face the Great Wall Pass. Moreover, most of the plaques were inscribed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they have a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.
Compared with these famous Great Wall plaques, the "Great Rivers and Mountains" plaque inscribed in Dajingmen, Zhangjiakou in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927) is "young", but it can occupy a place among many Great Wall plaques, which has profound reasons.
In my opinion, the main reason is that this plaque can create a unique artistic conception.
It does not follow the old road of other Great Wall plaques describing the importance of the pass, but creates new ideas, switching the focus of lyricism to boarding the Great Wall, opening up one's eyes, and appreciating and feeling the long rivers and mountains inside and outside the Great Wall.
This change of observation angle has produced unexpected effects, making the "Great Rivers and Mountains" plaque more vigorous, broader in vision and more praised and appreciated by people.
The broad feelings reflected by the plaque of "Great Rivers and Mountains" are not only the praise of the mountains and rivers experienced when climbing the Great Wall, but also the love for the people living here.
This rhetorical device, which is intended to praise the Great Wall instead of directly praising it, gives people infinite reverie and makes the emotion it contains deeper, broader and more valuable.
the beauty of "great rivers and mountains" is that it is full of patriotic feelings.
During the Republic of China, Gao Weiyue, the commander-in-chief of Chahar, wrote the great rivers and mountains tablet, which was written under the situation that the country was in a scuffle between warlords and foreign aggression was becoming more and more obvious. This inscription was full of love and cherish for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and implied the writer's feelings of worrying about the country and the people, which was a concentrated expression of the patriotic feelings of Gao Weiyue, a Confucian general.
The rivers and mountains here refer not only to the big rivers and mountains, but also to the "land" that the inscriber deeply loves.
The "Great Rivers and Mountains" tablet profoundly reflects the spirit of the times at that time, and it is a masterpiece that keeps pace with the times.
whenever people see the "Great Rivers and Mountains" plaque, they can't help but feel a deep patriotic feeling.
In short, the beauty of "great rivers and mountains" is that it can cover every place in Zhangjiakou, and every place in Zhangjiakou is a great river and mountain; The good thing is that it can cover Zhangjiakou through the ages, and many historical live dramas are the result of great rivers and mountains; Fortunately, it can include the magnificent natural landscape and special politics, economy, military and culture of Zhangjiakou. When it comes to great rivers and mountains, people think of Zhangjiakou. As a brand of Zhangjiakou city image, great rivers and mountains are a historical choice and a wise choice.
