Qujiang flourished in the Qin and Han Dynasties and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was named after its twists and turns more than 2,000 years ago. It is a famous royal garden in Chinese history and is known as a Chinese classic. The master of gardening.

More than 2,200 years ago, China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang, built the Forbidden Garden Yichun Palace here exclusively for the emperor's hunting. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the original Qin Yichun Courtyard was renovated and expanded, digging for diversion and planting flowers and plants.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the north of Qujiang was opened up and Leyou Garden was built. This means enjoying climbing high.

In the Sui Dynasty, the Royal Forbidden Garden Furong Garden was built with Qujiang as the center. The king and his ministers drank from Qujiang Pool and recited poems happily.

Starting from the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, on the three major festivals of the first lunar month, the first day of March and the Double Ninth Festival in September, hundreds of officials and people visited Qujiang Pavilion together, and established systems such as granting money and taking holidays. Qujiang became the most popular recreational spot in the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. Qujiang Poetry Society gathered officials and common people, and the Qujiang banquet was listed as a state banquet.

There are more than 500 poems reciting Qujiang in "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty". Qujiang New Area is located in the southeast of Xi'an City, formerly known as Xi'an Qujiang Tourist Resort.

It is a provincial tourist resort approved by the People's Government of Shaanxi Province in 1993. In July 2003, the name was changed to "Qujiang New District" with the approval of the Xi'an Municipal Government.

The area has a profound historical and cultural heritage, numerous historical sites, natural scenery, cultural landscapes, folk customs and modern urban culture, and is rich in tourism resources. Since 2002, Qujiang New District has successively built a number of major cultural projects such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square, Datang Furong Garden, Qujiang International Convention and Exhibition Center, Qujiang Pond Heritage Park, and Datang Evernight City, becoming the most important cultural and tourism center in the west. Distribution center, a landmark area for the development of Shaanxi’s cultural and tourism industries.

As of now, Xi'an Qujiang Cultural Industry Investment Group has total assets of 15.8 billion yuan, becoming one of the largest cultural industry investment companies in my country and ranking among the cultural industries in western China. . 3. What are the characteristics of Qujiang Banquet?

Qujiang Pool is located in Qujiang Village, the southeastern suburb of Xi'an today.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the location of "Yichun Garden" and "Yichun Palace" in "Shanglin Garden". There is an original spring pool here, with twists and turns on the shore and beautiful natural scenery.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, an underground spring on the west side of the pool was dug out, which was named "Han Wu Spring". When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty built the new capital of Daxing City, he diverted water from the Yellow Canal into the pond, expanded the water area, and planted a wide range of flowers and trees. The lotus (lotus) was the most prosperous in the pond, so it was renamed "Furong Garden".

In the early Tang Dynasty, the emperor often gave banquets here. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, large-scale expansion was carried out: the "Purple Cloud Tower" was built in the south of the pool for the emperor and concubines to visit, the "Caixia Pavilion" was built by the pool, and the "Apricot Garden" was built in the west of the pool. Various scenic trees, mainly willows, and exotic flowers were planted around the pool. There were painted boats in the pool, and many private pavilions and pavilions were built here by the noble ministers.

Qujiang Pond has turned into a garden with rippling blue waves, willow shades, flowers and trees, and dotted with palaces and terraces. It is the most beautiful place for picnics and picnics in Chang'an, the capital.

The Qujiang Banquet held by new scholars in the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 170 years from the Shenlong period of Zhongzong to the Qianfu period of Xizong when Huang Chao's uprising army entered Chang'an. It is one of the most famous picnics in the history of our country.

This banquet has had many different names in historical documents. For example: Because the banquet takes place after the "Guanshi" (official examination), some places call it "Guanyan"; the specific address of the banquet is located in the apricot garden to the west of Qujiang Pool, and it is called "Guanyan" in the poem. "Xingyuan Banquet"; because the same scholars gathered in Qujiang, it is also called the "Qujiang Conference"; when they get together, they part ways. After this banquet, they will go their separate ways, and many of them will be sent to various parts of the country. Official, so it is also called "Liyan".

The Qujiang Banquet for new Jinshi followed the banquet given by the imperial court in the early Tang Dynasty to the sons who had failed. In the early days of the Li and Tang dynasties, banquets were given in Qujiang Garden to the candidates who failed to take the examination in Shangjing, which was meant to comfort them.

Because at that time, the failed candidates were allowed to stay in Chang'an, stay in temples, practice poetry and essays, and strive to take the exam again next time. Chang Jian wrote in his poem "Lost in Chang'an": "It's a good home to live in, but I still stay in Qin, and I feel ashamed to be a lost person in the Ming Dynasty.

I'm afraid I will see the orioles smiling in my hometown, and spend the spring in Chang'an." Later. He finally passed the Jinshi examination.

But when Zhongzong arrived, he no longer gave banquets to the failed candidates, but instead gave new Jinshi a banquet in Qujiang. This change is related to the electoral system of the Tang Dynasty.

In the history of our country, Jinshi was used to select scholars. Although it began during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, it became popular in the Tang Dynasty and continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty. In the election of the Tang Dynasty, there were dozens of subjects including scholar, Junshi, Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingfa, etc. In the early Tang Dynasty, the Xiucai subject was the most important, followed by the Jinshi subject.

From the Yonghui reign of Emperor Gaozong, the Jinshi subject was given the greatest importance, with the largest number of students admitted and important responsibilities entrusted to it, thus becoming the main channel for the imperial court to select talents. The imperial court gave the new Jinshi a banquet in Qujiang as a special gift to congratulate them and to let them be grateful and serve the imperial court faithfully.

The Qujiang banquet of the new Jinshi was actually a large-scale entertainment event organized by Chang'an Qingcheng. On this day, not only dozens of new Jinshi came to Qujiang, but the examiner first came to talk to the new Jinshi about the relationship between teachers and students, and to accept the thanks from the disciples; other ministers and relatives and friends of the new Jinshi came to congratulate them; Some dignitaries come with their wives and young ladies to look for good husbands among the young newcomers; merchants come to Qujiang to sell rare and rare items; people from other fields, especially wealthy families, also come for sightseeing; sometimes The emperor also took his concubines to Ziyun Tower (south of Qujiang Chi) to watch the grand banquet.

Therefore, on this day, the entire Qujiang Garden was full of "moon carriages, bead saddles" and "golden whips and jade stirrups". Men and women came in droves, the crowds were like waves, the music was moving, and it was extremely lively. The food at the banquet of Qujiang, a new Jinshi, must include cherries.

This is because in the Tang Dynasty, everyone from emperors and concubines to scholar-bureaucrats liked to eat cherries, and the cherries in Jingzhao Mansion were included in the taxes. At the same time, the Qujiang Banquet was in late spring, and Chang'an cherries had just ripened, so they became Essential food. Therefore, this kind of banquet is also called "cherry banquet" in literature.

Sometimes the emperor also ordered the imperial chef to prepare some exquisite food and send it to the new Jinshi to taste during the banquet. For example, Zhaozong and Xizong both gave the royal food "red silk cake" to each new scholar.

This banquet is the first glorious event in the lives of new Jinshi. They dress in costumes, ride in fresh cars and horses, are followed by servants, and some even invite outstanding women. Famous prostitutes come as escorts to show their dignity. During their day's banquet, in addition to social activities such as tasting delicious food, paying homage to their mentors, meeting dignitaries, making friends and other social activities, they also had to visit the lakes and mountains, hold various entertainment activities, and finally go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to inscribe their names as a souvenir.

According to "Tang Fan Yan", the Jinshi will select two young and beautiful people as flower envoys to visit the gardens and pick the best flower branches for everyone to watch. If someone else picks the famous flower first, these two people will be punished.

Those Jinshi who have great ambitions and extraordinary ambitions also have fun, but the specific content and methods are more elegant. They may find like-minded people to talk about their thoughts and exchange knowledge while traveling, or they may search for chapters and sentences, compose poems to express their feelings... Those frivolous people have another interest. Some bring musicians and dancers to board the colorful boats, while Boating and drinking, while enjoying music and dance; some mingled with the ladies, teasing, playing, and showing off; some groups of three or five were on the grass, taking off their crowns and shoes, undressing and exposing their bodies, and drinking excessively, which is called "drunk drinking"... … What deserves special mention is the poetry and singing on this day.

The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of poetry, and poetry recitation was an indispensable part of the banquet in Qujiang. The poems about banquets in Qujiang that have been handed down account for a considerable amount of space in all Tang poetry.

Most of these poems describe the beautiful scenery of Qujiang and the grand banquet. For example, Liu Cang's "New Year's Eve Selection Tour", the first banquet in Qujiangtou in the Apricot Garden.

Fairy books are inscribed on the pink walls of purple hair, and the sound of willow-colored flutes are blowing in the imperial tower. The sky is clear and the distant shore is bright, In the evening sky, green mountains fall into Fangzhou.

When I returned home, I was drunk among the flowers, and the fragrant car on the beautiful road was like water." Wang Ya's "Thousands of apricot trees by the river, newly opened in the night wind, filled the garden with dark and light colors, shining in the green waves", Yao He's poems such as "Apricot blossoms are blooming in several hectares at the head of the river, and the carriages and horses are vying to be the first to arrive here", and Yin Yao Fan's poems such as "The pommel and horses are all vying for beauty, and the sound of sheng is full of luxury", etc., depict various pictures of a banquet on the Qujiang River from all aspects , some poems use scenes to express feelings and express aspirations, and there are many famous poems among them. Of course, there are also many poems that purely praise merits, flatter the powerful, and whitewash peace. However, we can also get a glimpse of the social aspects of the time such as the officialdom's malpractice and human hypocrisy. For. 4. The origin of Qujiang

The place name of Xi'an is located in the southeast of Xi'an city. It was the location of the famous Qujiang Royal Garden in the Tang Dynasty. There are Qujiang Pool, Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Tang Furong Garden in the territory. Scenic spots and historic sites.

Xi'an Qujiang is the master of ancient Chinese gardens and architectural art, and is known as one of the pioneers of Chinese classical gardens. During the Qin Dynasty, the royal forbidden garden-Yichun Garden was opened here. The famous palace - Yichun Xiayuan

In the Sui Dynasty, Daxing City was built along the Qujiang River. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was suspicious and superstitious about Feng Shui. The southeast of Daxing City was high and the northwest was low. The Feng Shui tended to the southeast, and the harem was built. In the middle part of the north, the terrain could not overwhelm the southeast. Some people suggested that the "weary of winning" method should be adopted to eliminate it, such as digging the Qujiang River into a deep pool and separating it from the outside of the city to form a royal forbidden garden. It is a place of recreation for emperors, so that the kingly spirit of the Sui Dynasty can never be threatened. Fortunately, Qujiang has a natural form of meandering water circulation, and with a little repair, it can become a place with beautiful scenery.

In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign (AD 583), Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty officially moved into the new capital. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty felt that it was unlucky, so he ordered Gao Ying (Prime Minister of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty) to change the name of this royal garden.

One night, Gao Ying suddenly remembered that the lotus flowers in Qujiang Pool were in full bloom and were extremely red. The lotus flowers were also known as Furong, so he planned to rename Qujiang "Furong Garden". After some renovations in the early Sui Dynasty, Qujiang was renamed "Furong Garden". The nature of the royal garden appeared on the historical stage, and it got a new name - Furong Garden.

At the same time, it is closely connected with the capital Daxing City. The lower reaches of the pool flow into the city and are the squares in the southeast of the city. One of the sources of water. During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Huang Gun carved various water decorations in the Qujiang Pool. His ministers drank by the Qujiang Pool and enjoyed the Qujiang River drinking water, which introduced the story of the Qujiang River drinking water among the literati in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties into the palace garden. Among them, it endowed Qujiang scenic spots with a humanistic spirit and laid the foundation for the formation and development of Qujiang culture in the Tang Dynasty.

On the basis of the Furong Garden in the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty expanded the Qujiang gardens. The construction scale and cultural connotation, in addition to the Ziyun Tower, Caixia Pavilion, Liangtang and Penglai Mountain in Furong Garden, a large-scale water conservancy project Yellow Canal was excavated to expand the water surface of Furong Pool and Qujiang Pool. It was a place where monks and common people gathered for great excursions, such as the Qujiang River Drinking, the Xingyuan Guan Banquet, the Inscription on the Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Joyful Tour Climbing. All of these famous literary stories in ancient Chinese history took place here. The nature of Qujiang changed drastically in the Tang Dynasty and became a The only public garden in Chang'an, the capital, reached its most prosperous period in the history of development and became a gathering place for Tang culture. The iconic area of ??Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, also played the strongest voice of Chinese culture.

"Thousands of doors are locked in the palace at the head of the river. Who can see the new green cattails of the thin willows?" After the Zhenguan rule of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and in the subsequent dynasties such as Gaozong and Ruizhong, garden construction began to take a greater turn here. This move laid the foundation for the cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty carried out a large-scale expansion of Qujiang, making it unprecedentedly grand and reaching the pinnacle of its garden construction. In Furong Garden, the royal forbidden garden, Xuanzong built Ziyun Tower, Caixia Pavilion, Linshui Pavilion, Water Palace, Mountain Tower, Penglai Mountain, Liangtang and other buildings, and built a bridge from Daming Palace via Xingqing Palace to Furong Garden. The city (7960 meters long and 50 meters wide) was expanded by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The Furong Garden has continuous palaces and undulating pavilions. Qujiang's garden architecture has reached its highest level, and various cultural activities have also become popular.

With the destruction of Chang'an City in the late Tang Dynasty, all its garden buildings were destroyed, and various cultural activities gradually became silent, so that some that eventually disappeared cannot be traced. Qujiang, a park and garden area where civilians gather to visit, is not only unprecedented in the development history of the ancient capital of Xi'an, but also unique in ancient Chinese history. 5.
