Yuan Jiashan’s profile

Yuanjiashan is a famous boat-shaped building in the Central Plains. It was the villa of Yuan Keli, the general of the Ming Dynasty. There is a mountain gate in the front, a Chunyang Palace in the middle, a moon-watching platform at the back, an Eight Immortals Pavilion on the platform, and a Chunyang Cave below. It has remained majestic and beautiful for hundreds of years, attracting countless celebrities and scholars to compose poems.

Due to disrepair over time, it has gradually lost its luster. When visitors come here, they will inevitably sigh that it is not what it used to be. This sentiment is expressed in the poem "Yuanjiashan" written by Dongfang Yihong. The poem goes: "But the road to victory is vast, and I want to hurt myself when I walk all over Suicheng. Sima Yuan Gong chases the poor bandits, and Lu Zu escorts the stern. The ancient palace on the deserted platform stands in the wind, and the broken branches of the old trees are accompanied by the cool dew. How many tourists add to the success "The scenery is only hidden in the old days." Dongfang Yihong, whose real name is Li Xiaolin, is a modern photographer and poet. This poem laments that the scenic spots are so vast and difficult to find. This platform cover was due to Yuan Gong's pursuit of the Japanese and Lu Zu's escort. Now only the ancient palace of the deserted platform and the old trees and broken branches are left, which often makes visitors sigh that the scenery of the past is no longer there.

The historical name inheritance process of Yuanjiashan is as follows: During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Taoist classic "Tao Zang Ji Yao" collected by the number one scholar Peng Dingqiu was called "Yuanjiashan" so far. The earliest record seen in historical materials. "Yuanjiashan" was mentioned in the "Guide Prefecture Chronicle·Suizhou City Map" in the 19th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1754). In the 3rd year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1853), the Suizhou main hall was used as a donation in the "Yuanjiashan Land Deed Stele". The legal name of the land deed was "Yuanjiashan", which was recognized by the government at that time. It was called "Yuanjiashan" in the "Suizhou Chronicle·New City Map" in the 18th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, "Henan Tongzhi Suixian Interview Draft" called "Yuanjiashan". In the 1980s and 1990s, Yuanjiashan was a cultural relic protection unit at the prefectural and county levels and the historical name Yuanjiashan was still used. The 1994 "Henan Province Chronicles", the 1996 "Shangqiu District Chronicles", the 1989 "Sui County Chronicles Ancient Buildings", "Sui County Place Names Chronicles" and other books all use Yuanjiashan as the legal name. Authoritative books such as the "Dictionary of Chinese Scenic Spots" published in 1981, the "Index of Chinese Scenic Spots" published in 1987, and the "Architecture Chronicles of Shangqiu Area" published in 1990 all have "Yuanjiashan" as their name. In 2002, the "Historical Relics of Celebrities in Henan Past Dynasties" compiled by the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Administration also used his real name Yuan Jiashan. There are mountains and rivers, which have always been the highest realm of Taoism and a livable place for the gods. "Lvzu Temple" is just a single entity in the Yuanjiashan Taoist Building Complex. This term only appears in the "Inscription of the Reconstruction of Yuanjiashan Luzu Temple" in the 29th year of Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty. This inscription can only indicate that at that time The Luzu Temple in the Yuanjiashan Dojo complex has been rebuilt, but it cannot be said that Yuanjiashan is the Luzu Temple. In 2000 AD, the historical name of Yuanjiashan was changed to "Lv Zu Temple" without authorization, which damaged the cultural symbols of the historical relics and has not yet been corrected.

I often went to Yuanjia Mountain to play when I was young, so it is said that there is a tunnel under the Guan Yu elephant, and the direction to which it leads is unknown. Then he broke the lock and got in, and it was true! After walking a few meters, I couldn't see my fingers, but I was brave enough to return. As an adult, I went to the cave entrance and was sealed, which was a huge disappointment.
