Hundreds of years old. Follow the short video below to enjoy the meal ~ The ancient music of Zhihua Temple in the Ming Dynasty was six hundred years old. Wang Zhen first pioneered the eunuch dictatorship in the Ming Dynasty. As mentioned above, Zhihua Temple was originally the family temple of Wang Zhen, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. Who is this person? There is a memory of Wang Zhen in Zhihua Temple. He was in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, etc. were all famous. , can be said to be the "predecessor" of these people. He was the first eunuch to have exclusive power in the Ming Dynasty. So why did he get the favor of the Yingzong and control the government? On the one hand, he established his own power in the heart of the Yingzong. Wang Zhen originally followed Xuanzong, because he was "solemn and self-possessed" and had the opportunity to "see and learn about Xuanzong", which left a good impression on Xuanzong. Yingzong was quite afraid of him. Because he was afraid that Wang Zhen would report to Xuanzong, Yingzong Wang Zhen would be consulted before making any advance or retreat decisions. Even the conduct of concubines and concubines were interfered by Wang Zhen, and they even continued to address him as "Mr.". On the other hand, Wang Zhen was "cunning enough to please the emperor" and tried his best to please the emperor. Zhu Qizhen's method of combining kindness and power was very effective for the young emperor Yingzong, so he was able to bypass several eunuchs and take charge of the ceremonial department. After that, Wang Zhen guided the young Yingzong to "Chongdian Yuxia". To prevent the ministers from being deceived and deceived, Wang Zhen gradually came to power. However, in the early years of Zhengtong, the Empress Dowager Zhang took over the government and entrusted the cabinet with the power. Later, Wang Zhen was wary and restrained himself for the time being, but he could still abide by the rules. However, as soon as the Empress Dowager drove to Hexi, the veterans of the cabinet, Yang Rong, had already died, and Yang Shiqi was lying in bed because his son was arrested for murder. However, only Yang Pu was old and lonely in the court, and the new cabinet ministers were weak. Wang Zhen had no scruples and became more and more domineering. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once placed an iron sign in the palace. The door, about three feet high, is inscribed with the following inscription: "" Internal officials are not allowed to interfere in the government's affairs, and those who interfere will be executed. "This iron plate was removed by Wang Zhen at this time. Since then, the generosity, kindness, prosperity and prosperity created by Renzong and Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty had just begun to shine, and then they entered the dark era of eunuch dictatorship. , Wang Zhen built himself a luxurious house in the capital, and built the Zhihua Temple in the east of the house, which was very expensive in terms of civil engineering. "After the Zhihua Temple was built, it was named "Zhihua Zen Temple" by the Yingzong. Source of Zhihua Temple Gate Picture Source Zhihua Temple Official Website The subsequent civil engineering changes are generally believed to be caused by Wang Zhen. "History of Ming Dynasty·Food and Goods" "Five Datong Horse Market" records: In the 14th year of Zhengtong (1449), during the "" period, tribute horses were traded for each other. Wang Zhen, the middle official, cut the price of his horses and invaded the bandits on a large scale, which led to changes in civil engineering. Some scholars believe that attributing all the reasons to Wang Zhen is inconsistent with historical facts. "Ming Dynasty Chronicles: Civil War Changes" records: ""In the spring and February of the 14th year of Zhengtong, more than 2,000 people were also sent to advance on horseback, falsely calling them three. Thousands of people, Wang Zhen was angry that he had deceived him, so he reduced the price of the horse to make a return, and the reconciliation was lost. " Combined with the record of Wala at that time ""asking for valuable and rare things from China, not satisfied with them, and always causing trouble", it should be Wala who provoked first, and Wang Zhen reduced the price of the horse. Not only did he not harm the country, but he also defended the national interests. However, Wang Zhen later encouraged the Yingzong to conquer personally despite the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty. Due to his underestimation of the enemy and lack of command, more than half of the Ming army was captured, and Wang Zhen also died in the war. After the restoration of the Yingzong Dynasty, the war scene was restored. In memory of the past, a Jingzhong Shrine was built in Zhihua Temple for Wang Zhen, and a statue was made to commemorate Shen Tingfang, the imperial censor of the Qing Dynasty, a man who turned Zhihua Temple from prosperity to decline. Although Wang Zhen is considered to be the man. However, due to the prevalence of Buddhism at that time and the protection of the Yingzong, Zhihua Temple not only was not "hated" by people, but also had continuous incense and Buddhist rituals. Until the seventh year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1742), Shandong Dao Shen Tingfang, the supervisory censor, passed by Lumicang Hutong and saw the statue of Ni Zhen in the west veranda of the back hall of Zhihua Temple. He was sitting on a high seat, wearing jade belts and brocade clothes, and there was endless incense. Under the west eaves of the hall, there is a monument dedicated to Yingzong's edict, praising his loyalty. " Shen Tingfang, like Shen Tingfang, once participated in the review work of "History of the Ming Dynasty" and is familiar with Wang Zhen's history of "stealing power, taking bribes, causing quarrels, and taking advantage of public opinion, causing the clan to collapse." He believes that Wang Zhen "" The crimes are monstrous, and people are angry in ancient and modern times. "Therefore, he " " looked at it and couldn't help but point out. Out of hatred for the eunuchs who had the power to "blaspheme and disrupt the imperial code", Shen Tingfang petitioned the emperor to ask the local officials to erect and destroy his statue, throw water and fire into it, and erect a monument to Li Xian as punishment. " This memorial, which contains more than 800 words, was approved by Emperor Qianlong with the following words: "The photo is requested and the department is aware of it." After the statue of Emperor Qianlong, Zhihua Temple began to become dilapidated, especially in 1900 Under the ravages of the "Eight-Power Allied Forces" in 2000, the temple buildings were even more ruined. The once-spirited Buddha statues were covered with thick dust, and the towering ancient cypresses were cut down.

In the 1950s, musicians such as Pan Huaisu, Zha Fuxi, and Yang Yinliu came here one after another to listen to the performances of the artistic monks of Zhihua Temple next to the ancient trees under the temple. After listening to them, they believed that the music of Zhihua Temple was Beijing music. It is related to the ancient music of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and at the latest it is related to the 'advocacy teachings' of the Northern Song Dynasty." Whether it is musical instruments, music scores, tunes, tunes and playing methods, the old system of the Tang and Song Dynasties is retained, and most of the tunes are , and it comes from the northern and southern music with the characteristics of Chinese classical music. The instrument played by the second old artist monk on the left of the Beijing music performance is called "Guanzi", which is the "soul instrument" of Beijing music. Since then, Beijing music has received the attention of knowledgeable people. , was included in China's cultural heritage for protection.

These elderly artistic monks who are more than seventy years old never expected that when they are approaching their twilight years, they will return to the time when they were young and accompanied music day and night. ""West Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Paris..." A few years later, they can still clearly count on their fingers every city they have been invited to perform in. However, as the old monks get older, The problem of having no successor became more and more prominent. Finally, Zhihua Temple found the music of Qujiaying in Gu'an District, Hebei Province, which was very similar to Beijing music. Some of the music styles were even the same between the two, so the Six Ten Musicians were selected. A six or seven-year-old boy from Qujiaying was selected to learn martial arts at Zhihua Temple. The apprentices practiced for many years relying on the master's oral teachings. However, after five years, the lack of funds in Zhihua Temple could not support the basic needs of the apprentices. Under the circumstances, they all chose to return to their hometowns, get married and have children. After several twists and turns, when Beijing Music once again faced the "" endangered" situation, the "" apprentices" finally returned to Zhihua Temple and became The 27th generation inheritor of Beijing music.
