Hao Yan Hao Zhao Ge's trip to Handan Zhao Capital Fengyun.

Handan is located in the south of Hebei Plain, bordering Taihang Mountain in the west and Fuyang River in the east. It is a famous cultural city with a long history. The name "Handan" first appeared in The Legend of Spring and Autumn Valley, with a history of more than 2,600 years. It is the oldest city in Hebei Province. According to the annotation of Hanshu, Hanshan is the name of the mountain, which simply means "exhaustion", that is, Hanshan stops here. The city wall is written by the city as "Dan" (the ancient writing of "Lu"), and it is the "patriarch" of Hebei place names. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Handan belonged to Wei first, then to Jin, and became the capital of Zhao in the Warring States Period. Later, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty, named his son Liu Ruyi king of Zhao, and Handan was the capital of Zhao. At that time, Handan's economy was prosperous and developed, and it was called the five major cities together with Chang 'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng and Chengdu. Handan is famous for its scenic spots and historical sites at home and abroad. During the Warring States Period, the ruins of Miyagi, the capital of Zhao State-"Zhao Wangcheng" and "Congtai" are located here. In addition, there are "Lin Xiangru Back Lane", "Pedestrian Bridge", "Inserting Arrow Ridge", "Zhaomeichi", "Huangliangmeng" and "Xiangtang Grottoes in North and South", all of which show the long history and splendid culture of the ancient city of Handan.

About 4 kilometers southwest of Handan City is the site of Zhaowangcheng. In the first year of Zhao (386 BC), the capital was established here. In the future, Zhao Wang will control water, smelt iron, cast money and develop the economy; Building the Great Wall, "Khufu riding and shooting" to enhance military strength; The wars of destroying Zhongshan, attacking Xiongnu, and defeating Loufan to expand the territory quickly developed into one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Zhaowangcheng, also known as Miyagi, consists of three small towns: east, west and north. Its plane layout is similar to zigzag, with a total area of 5 12 square meters. The wall of rammed earth building is 3-8 meters high, winding and magnificent. There are tall rammed earth platforms such as Longtai, Beijiangtai and Nanjiangtai in the city site. They were the base sites of palace buildings at that time, among which Longtai was the tallest. The existing base site is 265 meters wide from east to west, 285 meters long from north to south and 19 meters high. It is the central building base of Miyagi. In the northeast of Zhaowangcheng, there are commercial, handicraft workshops and residential areas in the old city of Zhaohandan, which archaeologists call "Dabei City".

Congtai Qixian Temple Wangzhuxie

Congtai was named after it was founded in the period of King Wuling of Zhao (325-299 BC). The earliest record of Congtai can be found in Hanshu: in the first year of Gaohou (BC 187), "In Shen Bing in May, Congtai was devastated by Zhao Palace". Tang Yanshi drum note: "Even together is not one, hence the name Congtai. During the Six Kingdoms period, Zhao Wang was also in Yucheng. " It can be seen that the cluster platform is not one. According to historical records, there are flyovers, snow caves, makeup pavilions and gardens on the cluster platform, which are large in scale and unique in structure and famous all over the world. King Wuling of Zhao is here to observe the training, and at the same time he is here for rest and entertainment. Today's cluster platform is 7 meters high, 59 meters long from east to west, 22 meters wide from north to south, and a section protruding to the south is 50 meters long and 10 meter wide. 196 1 year, when Guo Moruo came to Handan to visit Congtai, he once wrote: "Zhao Congtai in Handan City, Deng Qiuxiao, according to the ruins of Daizhuang Building, shooting and riding Khufu, thinking about his talents."

Hebei Handan Congtai

The Seven Immortals Temple, located in the north of Congtai, was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty to commemorate the "Seven Gentlemen" who were loyal to the monarch and patriotic during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Originally three middle schools and four sages temples, they were merged into "Seven Sages Temple" when rebuilt in Qing Dynasty. "Seven sages" refer to Han Biao, Cheng Ying, Gongsun Chujiu, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Zhao She and Li Mu. In the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were touching stories of "three loyalties" of Han Nuo and Gong Sun who gave up their children to save Zhao orphans. At that time, Tu'an Gu, Duke of Jin, held a grudge against Zhao Shuo, the doctor of Jin, and framed Zhao Shuo for rebellion in front of Duke Jing of Jin. Gong Jing believed it, so he ordered Tu'an Gu to destroy the Zhao family. Zhao Shuo's wife, Zhuang Ji, is the sister of the late King Jin Chenggong. She was pregnant at that time, but she was not killed because she was in the next palace. She gave birth to a son, and Tu'an Gu tried every means to destroy the grass. Zhao Shuo's good friend Han Jue and his confidants Gongsun Chujiu and Cheng Ying, after careful planning, took Cheng Ying's baby as Zhao Shuo's son and lied that Tu'an Gu was in the mountains. They were found and killed, and Gongsun Chujiu was also killed. Zhao Shuo's son was saved. Fifteen years later, Duke Mourn of Jin came to power, and Han Jue was promoted to marshal, explaining to Duke Mourn the truth that Zhao Shuo had been framed. Aigong ordered Tu'an Gu to be beheaded, and the whole family was exterminated. Zhao Yue, the son of Zhao Shuo, took over the position of Tu'an Gu Scott. Cheng Ying committed suicide, but she was not sealed to thank Chu Jiu. Orphan of Zhao, a drama about orphan of Zhao, has been staged in the north and south since the late Qing Dynasty, from Yuan Zaju, Nanming Opera to Peking Opera. The deeds of Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Zhao She and Li Mu are recorded in detail in Historical Records and Warring States Policy. Zhao She, a famous official of Zhao State, was a field official at first, and he was selfless in law enforcement. He was recommended by Ping Yuanjun to manage the national tax and made great achievements. After being appointed as a general, he was proficient in the art of war and was good at using troops. In the first 270 years, Qin Jun was defeated by Kuihe River (now the west of Wu 'an County, Hebei Province), hence the name Ma Fujun. When Lian Po was in Zhao Huiwen, he led the army to defeat ice cream and was named Shangqing. Later, he led troops to defeat the armies of Qi, Wei and other countries many times, and was famous for his bravery and good fighting skills. Lin Xiangru used to be an official. When Zhao Huiwen became king, Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin, wrote to the king of Zhao, willing to exchange 15 cities for "harmony". Lin Xiangru was ordered to take "money" to the State of Qin. He argued and responded tactfully, and finally returned to Zhao intact. In the first 279 years, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao met in Mianchi (now Mianchi West, Henan Province). He accompanied Cheng Xiao, the prince of Zhao, and reprimanded the powerful State of Qin face to face, so that the prince of Zhao would not disgrace the country. Because of his merits, he was appointed Shang Qing. Li Mu was a tax collector of Zhao in his early years, fair and strict, and was made a general by Ping Yuanjun and Zhao Sheng. When King Zhao of Huiwen went to Mianchi for a meeting, he was a doctor and led 50,000 soldiers to escort the driver. Since then, he has been guarding Dai Di (now Yuxian County, Hebei Province), making great contributions and becoming a famous soldier guarding the north.

Wang Zhuxie was built in the lake under the cluster platform to commemorate the loyal and brave Jiang Yan Le Yi. According to legend, it used to be a temple called Le Yi Temple. Later, the temple was destroyed and the pavilion was changed when it was rebuilt. Le Yi was a famous politician and strategist during the Warring States Period. I hope Zhu Xie will be named after him. Le Yi, whose date of birth and death is unknown, is a descendant of Wei strategist Yang Le. In the first 408 years, Wei Wenhou worshipped Yang Le as a general, captured Zhongshan and sealed the Lingshou Army. After Yang Le's death, he was buried in Lingshou. Since then, his descendants have lived here for generations. When he was living, his hometown was the territory ruled by Zhao, so later generations called him Zhao Lingshou (now Lingshou West, Hebei Province). Le Yi is a civil and military official who is proficient in the art of war. When Zhao Wuling was king, he was elected as an official. He has a glib tongue and is brilliant. In his later years, he often traveled between Yan and Zhao, who regarded him as a "distinguished guest". Although he didn't leave a book on military theory to future generations, his outstanding achievements in commanding the six-nation allied forces and even conquering more than 70 cities proved that he was a commander-in-chief with both wisdom and courage and a strategist with rich practical experience. Shi Zai, in the activities of uniting Zhao against Qi, he talked about the interests of all countries, was well informed, commanded the king and lobbied other countries, which proved that he was still a figure with keen political vision and considerable national affairs ability. His talent and knowledge of making timely contributions and going forward courageously have been constantly lamented and praised by later scholars. His friendship with him was established in the cause of prospering Yan and breaking Qi, which was envied and yearned by literati in feudal society.

Shuzhuanglou Zhaomeichi Chajianling

The dressing room and eyebrow pool are located in the northwest suburb of Handan city. There are only two tall rammed earth platforms left in the dressing room. The large platform in the south is called the South Building, and the small platform in the north is called the North Building. The remaining height of earthwork platform is 14m, with a total area of 56,000m2. There is a depression in the east called Zhaomeichi. According to "Guangping Fu Zhi", "According to legend, the concubines of Zhao Wang came here from Congtai to taste the eyebrows in the pool. Up to now, there is still a pool with traces of several acres. To the west of the pool, the slope is as high as a mountain. " Li Baiyou, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem: "Emptying is the mirror of the sky. I used to wear the makeup of a lady in Handan. Looking back at the clusters, the thorns are exhausted, and Cuie has no shadow to disturb the cold pool. "King Wuling of Zhao went to Congtai to have a rest, and there were always many maids waiting on him. They often dress up here. As time went on, buildings were destroyed and water was drained beyond recognition. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, Zheng sighed: "Like a flower girl fighting for a new moth, there is powder and fat left to provoke a big song. At that time, Mo Wen was like an old eyebrow, a pool of spring water without waves! "

Chajianling is located about 2 kilometers northwest of Handan City. The site is a rectangular hill with an area of about 40,000 square meters. According to "Handan County Records", "In the South Bay of Lingshan, the ring is several feet high and all are pebbles. Xia Yue often gets a golden shovel with three positive faces and red spots when plowing and grazing after the rain, which is not around now. Ling was named after this. " According to legend, this is the place where King Wuling of Zhao (325-229 BC) trained his foot soldiers. King Wuling, because he found that the northern Hu people had short clothes and narrow sleeves, and their riding and shooting were superior to those in the Central Plains, he advocated changing Hu clothes and practicing riding and shooting. This major reform, which changed customs and made a fortune, was strongly opposed by his uncle, son Cheng and other noble ministers. King Wuling personally came to persuade his uncle. He said: "laws and etiquette depend on needs, and clothing and equipment are made according to convenience." Now no soldier who can ride a horse and shoot arrows can't resist the Huns of the Hu people ... "Gong Zicheng was finally persuaded to wear it. So the whole country was ordered to put on costumes and learn to ride horses and shoot arrows. This important military reform greatly strengthened Zhao's military strength. Later, King Wuling of Zhao led an army to destroy Zhongshan State, defeated Hu Lin and Loufan, occupied a large area of Yuan Ye at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River, and built the Great Wall with a length of 130 kilometers, becoming one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".
