Where is the authoritative opinion of shouyangshan in history?

Mystery through the ages: Boyi Shu Qi and shouyangshan

A mountain only a few hundred meters high is not among the three mountains and five mountains, nor is it a strange and beautiful natural landscape, but it is famous far and near. This is exactly what the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi said: "The mountain is not high, but the fairy is famous." Shouyangshan, located in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, is famous all over the country because Boyi and Shu Qi were buried here. Mystery of the Eternal: Boyi and shouyangshan 1 1 At the end of the century BC, two ragged and travel-stained princes fled from the lonely bamboo country in lulong county, Hebei Province, and went back to the ancient Weihe River to live in seclusion in shouyangshan to collect Wei until their death. Later, he was honored as "benevolence" and "holiness", and shouyangshan became famous all over the world. The two princes were Boyi and Shu Qi, two sons of the solitary bamboo kingdom in the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty. Why did Boyi and Shu Qi escape from the lonely bamboo country and come to Weiyuan shouyangshan? What was the cause of their death? Today, let's walk into this little-known history and solve this eternal mystery together. According to Biography of Boyi in Historical Records, Boyi Shu Qi lived in seclusion in shouyangshan: at the end of 20th century BC, he was an isolated bamboo country, located in lulong county, Hebei Province, and a vassal state of Yin and Shang Dynasties. Although they were a border kingdom far from Chao Ge, they were also depressed and uneasy because of the war at that time. Mo Tai, the monarch of the solitary bamboo kingdom, saw that the war was coming, the Shang Dynasty was dying, and he was too old and weak to cope with this turbulent situation, so he made arrangements for the succession to the throne: he had three sons, the eldest son Boyi, the second son Wang Gong and the third son Shu Qi, and he wrote to Shu Qi. After the untimely death of Mo's fetus, the philosophers should establish Shu Qi as the monarch according to the testamentary edict of the first emperor. But Shu Qi said: "Uncle comes first, how can I establish my country as king?" Boyi refused to accept his resignation, saying that his father's life should make Shu Qi your king. If they don't give in to each other, ministers will be in a dilemma. So Boyi secretly left Beijing. Shu Qi also escaped from Solitary Bamboo. The two men left the capital of the lonely bamboo country at the same time, so the ministers had no choice but to make the second son your king. Boyi and Shu Qi fled from the lonely bamboo country and headed west. It is said that Xibe Zhou Wenwang and Ji Chang are worthy of being wise masters, so they decided to join them. After a long journey, I finally arrived in Xiqiao. When they saw that Zhou Wenwang was dead, his son King Wu Ji Fa mobilized his armed machine and set out for the East. Seeing this, the two men stopped the horse's head of King Wu and remonstrated, saying, "Your father is dead, and he wants to go to war, so he won't be buried. Can this be said to be the behavior of a dutiful son? Besides, as a courtier, you are going to kill the Lord of the world now. Can this be said to be the behavior of the benevolent? " King Wu was very angry with Uncle Boyd's words and ordered his men to kill the two uninvited guests. At this moment, Jiang Ziya, who was beside the King of Wu, hurriedly urged, "Please calm your anger. Although these two brothers said these words, they are the sons of Gu Zhujun and wise men who give in to each other. If you can't kill them, let him go! " King Wu accepted Jiang Ziya's dissuasion and released Boyi and Shu Qi. Boyi and Shu Qi tried their best to dissuade the prince of Wu and almost lost their lives. They sighed, "It's dark today, and Zhou De is in decline. It's not even about Zhou painting my body. If you don't avoid it, you will do it yourself. " So he left Zhou, went west along the Weihe River and lived in seclusion in shouyangshan. A few years later, Zhou Wuwang's army destroyed the Yin and Zhou Wang Dynasties, won the world and established the Zhou Dynasty. The four governors responded in succession and submitted to the Zhou Dynasty. When Boyd Shu Qi learned these things, he was very ambivalent. He was angry at the injustice of King Wu, so he decided not to even eat the grain grown on the land of the Zhou Dynasty. The two of them went up the mountain to pick broken Osmunda to satisfy their hunger. Although shouyangshan-flavored vegetables are white and delicious, with high nutritional value and medicinal value, they are rare wild vegetables after all, and it is difficult to supply the nutrition needed by human body. Their bodies are getting thinner and thinner, and their faces are sallow and swollen. The book "An Examination of Ancient History" in the Three Kingdoms period added more waves to it, saying that one day, a village woman met Boyi and Shu Qi in the mountains, and the village woman said to them, "You two gentlemen have integrity and don't eat the food of the Zhou Dynasty, but the wild vegetables you eat are also from the Zhou Dynasty!" Hearing this, the two never eat wild vegetables again. Biography of Historians changed the word "female" to "Wang Mozi". Finally, the two brothers were tired and sang, "Climb that western mountain and pick Wei Cai there. I can't realize that it is a mistake to exchange a violent minister for a tyrant. The peaceful and prosperous times of Shennong, Yu and Xia disappeared in an instant. What's our destination? Alas, only death, fate is so bad! " He left a famous song "Picking the EU" and starved to death in shouyangshan. "Biography of Boyi in Historical Records" said: The two "refused to eat, hid in shouyangshan, picked Wei and ate it, and starved to death." Virtuous and honest integrity was highly respected by Confucius and Mencius, and shouyangshan became a famous mountain in the world. It is true that mountains are named after people. In fact, there are roughly six shouyangshan in China at present. Said western Liaoning, formerly known as Yangshan; Second, Yanshi, Henan, formerly known as Shoushan; Third, Shanxi Heshun, formerly known as Yangqu Mountain; Fourthly, in Puban Hequ, Shanxi Province, it was originally named Lei Shou Mountain or Shoushan Mountain; 5. West of Qishan, Shaanxi Province, whose original name is unknown; Six said Longxi shouyangshan (now shouyangshan, Weiyuan County, Gansu Province). Who is right and who is wrong has always been controversial. Why are there as many as six in shouyangshan? Where is the real shouyangshan? Open the fog and see the light again ("There are six suns in the world, only Weiyuan is true"). Professor Fan Sanwei of the College of Literature of Northwest Normal University believes that the place where Boyi Shu Qi chose Wei to starve to death is Weiyuan shouyangshan, Gansu Province. The main arguments are as follows: 1. Weiyuan shouyangshan has its name since ancient times. According to the Records of Weiyuan County, Weiyuan was the territory of the Rong nationality during the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. From the first year of Qin Xiangong (384 BC) to the second year of Emperor Gaozu (205 BC), Weiyuan was under the jurisdiction of Qiaodao. In the second year of Emperor Gaozu, Shouyang County was divided by Qiao Dao, because Boyi and Shu Qi were buried in Shouyang Mountain, and the county was named after the mountain. Its city is located near Boyangkou on the north bank of Weihe River, more than kilometers away from shouyangshan exit 10. In the seventeenth year of the unification of western Wei Wendi (AD 55l), Weiyuan County was named after Weishui in China. The second is from the geographical location. Boyi and Shu Qi's Song of Taking Wei recorded in historical records said: "Climb the Western Hills and take Wei. Violence is easy to be violent, and I don't know what it is. Shennong, Yu and Xia suddenly lost their minds, and I feel comfortable? Hey, life is not long! " According to historical records, Zhou's ancestors lived in the area of Jingshui and Weishui in the northwest for a long time, and gradually eliminated the small countries in the northwest, and built Haojing (now Chang 'an County, Shaanxi Province) on the east bank of Fengshui. The Shang Dynasty gradually became strong based on the Guanzhong Plain. So geographically, only Weiyuan shouyangshan is in the west of Haojing, so it can be called "Xishan". "A Brief History of Dingxi" records that they "crossed Longshan into Gansu, traveled westward along Weihe River, and passed through Imashimizu, Qin 'an, Tongwei, Longxi and Weiyuan". Zhuang said that "the second son went north to Shouyang Mountain", and the place of "going north" here is Weiyuan Shouyang Mountain. Thirdly, Cai Wei said "Biography of Boyi in Historical Records": "The prince of Wu put down the Yin chaos, and the world was dominated by Zhou. Boyi and Shu were ashamed of it, so they did not eat it, hid it in shouyangshan, and picked up Wei and ate it. "The Song of Picking EU" says: "Go to the Western Hills to pick EU. Song of Picking Wei is the lyric poem of the oldest signed author in China. Wei is called "bracken" by local people. Pteridium aquilinum is a kind of herb, commonly known as "leading vegetable" and "cat's paw vegetable", also known as "auspicious dish". According to historical records, "Pteridium aquilinum is curled like a fist when it is born, and unfolded like a pheasant's tail when it is long, and it is three or four feet high. When its stem is tender, it has no leaves. It is collected and heated in soup, and its saliva is removed and dried to make vegetables. Ginger vinegar mixed with it is also good. Since the Tang dynasty, people like to eat bracken, which has a history of more than two thousand years. Some famous poets in ancient times praised it as "Fern Bud Fertilizer Newly Collected in Shan Tong" and "Fern Bud Purple in Xuan Shi" ... In Qing Dynasty, bracken was also listed as a tribute, and bracken with "purple and fat stems" was selected every year, dried and presented to the court. Shouyangshan, Weiyuan County has abundant rainfall and a humid and cold climate. Good soil is conducive to the growth of Wei. Loki mountain area in the south of the county seat is rich in Wei. According to Gan Long's Gansu Tongzhi, ferns can be used as vegetables, and their roots can pray for powder. The white fern in Shouyang is the most famous. " The white fern in Shouyang is white in color, fresh in quality and delicious in taste. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been transported by merchants to coastal provinces, and in recent years it has been exported at home and abroad. As for the white bracken, according to the local elderly, it is a fairy dish, which most people can't see. Ordinary bracken is only available in April. As the saying goes: "shouyangshan's white bracken leaves early and returns late!" It can be seen that the people's infinite respect for sages has risen to myth. Pteridium aquilinum likes humidity, the mountains are long, and it grows in forest areas around 2000 meters above sea level. The main peak of Weiyuan shouyangshan is 2412m above sea level, which is 32 1 m higher. Such a place is far away from Zhoudu, with high mountains and beautiful forests, which is more suitable for seclusion. There is no "EU" in shouyangshan in other places, so how can we "adopt the EU"? The fourth is literary theory. A large number of inscriptions, poems, notes and textual research have confirmed the authenticity of shouyangshan in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province. Today, there are more than a dozen stone tablets in Weiyuan shouyangshan, with more than 100,000 words in various languages. Among them, the most serious textual research is Yang En's shouyangshan Debate Monument in Ming Dynasty, which is mostly based on the afterlife. There are also two authoritative figures of ancient Buddhism, which add a lot of color to the authenticity of Weiyuan shouyangshan. One is Ban Zhao's Annotation on Tung Trees, and the other is Zhu Mu's Yu Fang Sheng Lan in the Southern Song Dynasty. Professor Fan Sanwei from the College of Literature of Northwest Normal University wrote the book "Ancient History: Qi Yi Shouyang Picking Ferns", which also identified Shouyang Mountain as Weiyuan. There are 64 poems, essays, inscriptions, etc. in the Annals of Lianfeng Mountain compiled by Mr. Xu Huamin, the first director of Weiyuan Tourism Bureau. After the publication of Long Miao, the article shouyangshan Quiz was quoted by many people. Fifth, the old site of Shouyang County said. Not far from shouyangshan, there is a place called "Shu Yangcheng" in Nanmen Village, Shouyang Town, Longxi County, which belongs to the Baozi Society. In fact, it is Shouyang County in ancient times. "Cooked sheep" and "Shouyang" are just myths of dialects. People here say it used to be called "cooked sheep city". Although the city wall has been destroyed, the remains can still be distinguished. Judging from the existing sites, it used to be a big city. It's called big and small forts because there used to be a castle in the middle, and then a wall was built around the castle, which is also called armor piercing (meaning putting a layer of armor on the former small fortress). It can also be found in the Atlas of Chinese History edited by Tan Qixiang that Shouyang County did exist in the Western Han Dynasty. Judging from its labeling, it should be the location of the big and small Baozi Village in Shouyang Town. Professor Fan Sanwei said that no matter how controversial other places are, according to historical data, their place names either have "head" without "Yang" or "Yang" without "head". Only Gansu has been under the jurisdiction of Shouyang County since the Han Dynasty. The origin of county names must be related to local mountains and rivers or some famous features. Now it is conceivable that it must be named after shouyangshan, so it is called Shouyang County. After returning to Lanzhou, the reporter found from the Atlas of Chinese History edited by Tan Qixiang that Shouyang County did exist in the Western Han Dynasty. Judging from its labeling, it should be the location of Baozi Village in Shouyang Town now. Boyi and Shu Qi starved to death in Shouyang because of their ambition, and Shouyang Mountain was named after the sage. Shouyangshan is 34 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County. A person in charge of the Propaganda Department of Weiyuan County Committee said that it should be clear that the ancient Weiyuan shouyangshan includes two places, commonly known as "Lianfeng Mountain" (Malu Mountain) and Yiqi Tomb (now the cemetery where Boyi Shu Qi was buried). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Yiqi Temple in Taiwan Province, Lianfeng Mountain, moved to the sunny slope outside the mountain and was later destroyed by fire. Since then, shouyangshan and FAW ancient tombs have been divided into two places and become two names. At about the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Yiqi Temple moved to Xiangtanggou and was renamed "Qing Temple". Shouyangshan is located 34 kilometers southeast of Lianfeng Town, Weiyuan County. Jiu Feng is named "Lotus Peak" because it looks like a lotus flower. Because red deer appear in groups in the mountains, it is commonly known as "Red Deer Mountain". This is a Buddhist resort on the ancient Silk Road. There are nine independent peaks in the scenic area, such as Dashan, Ertai, Santai, Sitai, Wutai, Houwutai, Huangdong, Sakyamuni and Laojun Mountain, with cliffs and various shapes. On the mountainside, Gu Song is towering, densely forested, and the top of the mountain is full of clear springs. It's refreshing. It's great to sit in the lotus and take care of the green. In the dense forest of Wutai, shouyangshan, stands a tall stone tablet, namely "Discrimination of shouyangshan" written by Yang En, a scholar in Longxi, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (AD 1609). Yang En's exposition on shouyangshan pointed out: "shouyangshan in Longxi is the oldest. Since Confucius said that Boyi and Shu were hungry under Shouyang, their names competed with the five mountains. " Yang En listed five ironclad evidences for Shouyang in Longxi. There is a platform next to the whip tree in Ma Wu. It is said that Boyi Shu Qi recited the song of picking Wei here, so it is called "Poetry Reading Desk". An old Taoist priest in shouyangshan told reporters that since the Han Dynasty, there have been grottoes and temples on the mountain, which reached their peak in the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, there were more than 200 ancient buildings in 34 places, with lifelike sculptures and paintings, which were art treasures. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiqiang was stationed in this mountain because of Yang Ma. On the mountainside, there is a Millennium Gu Song, which is said to be a whip tree of Ma Wu. This mountain is also called "Mawu Mountain". The eighth day of the fourth lunar month is the day of traditional temple fairs in shouyangshan. Tourists from all directions flocked to the fair. Bloom is full of mountains, with spring tides, folk songs everywhere and white ferns dripping, which has become a major cultural landscape in Weiyuan County. This year, Weiyuan County held a public sacrifice ceremony for Boyi Shu Qi. Shouyangshan, a reporter from Shouyang Village, Lianfeng Town, Weiyuan County, saw that the "Yiqi Tomb" was lying there quietly. The two tombs were adjacent, the same size, about 2 meters high and more than ten feet in diameter, surrounded by four Zhou Songbai. Its mountains are high and steep, winding eastward. The main peak sits cross-legged like a loving mother. The graves of Boyi and Shu Qi are in the middle of the mountain bay, just like a pair of babies sleeping in their mother's arms. The two tombs are like two hills, hidden under the pine and cypress, quiet and solemn. In front of the tomb, there is a tombstone inscribed on the left by the Governor of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai, which reads "Tomb of Shang Yimin and Yi Shu" and is printed as "Teacher of Eternal Life". The couplets on both sides are "full of mountains and baiwei, and the taste is overwhelming; Two piles of loess, the sun, the moon and the stars are shining high, and the banner reads "The mountain has risen. "Behind the mausoleum is the Qing Palace dedicated to the statues of Boyi and Shu Qi, which was built in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. In the shrine, He E, a famous sculptor, modeled himself on Li Tang, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, and carved the statues of Boyi and Shu Qi with high-quality FRP. For 3,000 years, the lush grass on the grave has been green again and again, and it has been endless. Just as the story of Boyi and Shu Qi has been handed down from generation to generation, it is well-known and makes people remember two Yi people in Shang Dynasty and two names that have been praised by people for many years-Boyi and Shu Qi. Shouyangshan is rich and vast, and its beautiful mountains and rivers not only cast the talent of the poet Gao Gu and the sad songs of the sages, but also remain in the horseshoes of the requisitioners and the broken shoes of the living. However, many people think that Boyi and Shu Qi are pedantic and ridiculous, and even Mao Zedong says that they are irresponsible "escapists". So, do you have any comments on their merits and demerits? What did they leave for our country? Boyi Shu Qi embodies a spirit. Professor Fan thinks it embodies a spirit. I don't know whether Uncle Boyi's "benevolence" and "filial piety" inspired the formation of Confucius and Mencius' thoughts, or whether Confucius and Mencius carried forward Boyi's moral fashion, but what is certain is that Uncle Boyi has a great relationship with China's thousand-year-old benevolence and morality, and he also took the lead in setting an example of being loyal to his duties, unshakable and unchanging. It was shouyangshan who accepted two tired and noble great minds, nourished their thirsty bodies and minds with mountains and white roses, and gave them a stage to build a cultural and spiritual highland in China. A person in charge of the Propaganda Department of Weiyuan County Committee said that although Yi and Qi's actions are suspected of being foolish and loyal in the eyes of future generations, although there are many comments from future generations, there are different opinions, especially in today's great liberation of the ideological field, and some people are complaining about it. But it is undeniable that the Chinese nation has always been a nation that stresses morality and honesty. In the long history of the Chinese nation, this phenomenon has emerged one after another. In the nearly thousand years after Boyi and Shu Qi, there were incorruptible people and people with lofty ideals. They didn't drink stolen spring water or eat other people's food. Another thousand years later, Wen Tianxiang, a famous minister, appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. He "left his heart in the past" and was not respected by Yuan people. On the eve of the founding of New China, another writer, Zhu Ziqing, would rather starve to death than eat American flour. For 3,000 years, emperors, generals, scholars and gifted scholars have regarded integrity and morality as life or even higher than life everywhere. Only in this way can the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation be carried forward in inheritance and development. Regardless of whether the behavior of Iraq and Qi conforms to the law of historical progress, it is only a moral behavior, which deserves all kinds of praise from future generations. There is a simple couplet at the entrance of the Qing Palace: "A few skinny bones support the world, and two hungry stomachs cover the past and the present." It can be said that it has far-reaching significance! There is a saying that "the tree is taller than thousands of feet, and the fallen leaves return to their roots". The two leaves of the Shang Dynasty, Boyi and Shu Qi, had no choice but to return to shouyangshan, a place far away from the temples of the Zhou Dynasty. The lonely bamboo country, which should belong to them, is Zhou's world, and they defended the last piece of land of Yin Shang with death. Professor Fan Sanwei from the College of Literature of Northwest Normal University told the reporter that during the Guangxu period, when Yue Jun led Fan Bingcheng to visit shouyangshan, he also left "Feng Tuotiao was far away from Longjiang and arrogant." . Wash the soldiers as if they were near the Weihe River, so they should pay homage to Shouyang before dismounting. Facing the scenic spots in shouyangshan, the mighty warrior also collected the murderous look of Jin Ge's iron horse, and spiritually converted to Qi Yi Er Sheng who opposed "violence with violence". It can be seen that "dismounting first and worshiping the first day" is the conquest of soldiers by shouyangshan's powerful cultural charm, and also the victory of human spirit of peace over force. Boyi and Shu Qi used practical actions to tell future generations to cherish peace and avoid unnecessary bloodshed and casualties. Their aversion to "tyranny" can be seen from giving up the throne, remonstrating the horse's head and refusing to eat Zhou Su, or from the last poem "Song of Picking the EU". Fighting violence with violence is a continuation of violence. However, if Zhou Wuwang does not use violence and lets it develop, will Zhou Wang's way of governing the country change? If King Wu abides by the way of monarch and minister, does not commit the crime of succession and overthrew the fatuous Yin and Shang dynasties, how many of his subjects will die in the meat pool wine forest in Zhou Wang? If Zhou Wuwang does not change the dynasty through violence, when will the high-level development of agricultural productivity in the early Zhou Dynasty be realized? These are all things that Boyi and Shu Qi didn't think of. They didn't expect that they thought they were loyal, but they attracted the support of Yin Jian. They didn't expect that when a dissolute king has become the target of public criticism, it is unpopular to defend the country for this tyrant. As feudal aristocrats, they didn't understand the law that people's hearts decided to change dynasties. Their tragedy is that they cannot solve this profound historical proposition. Because, the way of loyalty and filial piety that occupies all their minds does not allow them to think about other things. Only when they are detained as officials and eventually starve to death can they have a clear conscience, keep the pure land in their hearts and exchange the extinction of material life for the eternity of spiritual life. In the pattern of the way of the monarch and the minister, Boyi Shu Qi, who sticks to the inherent ethics, has no deeper and broader ideological space, leaving eternal regrets. From giving up the throne to remonstrating the horse's head and not eating Zhou Su until death, Uncle Boyi and Qi Cheng can be described as "rich and poor can't be lewd, poor and humble can't be moved, powerful and powerful can't be bent" gentlemen. No wonder Confucius, Mencius and other Confucian sages have to give them high evaluation and praise. Of course, they are two historical figures, and we cannot unilaterally "look at" and evaluate them with modern eyes, let alone hold them high arbitrarily.

2. shouyangshan, Weiyuan County, Gansu Province

Shouyangshan is located in Xiangtanggou, Lianfeng Township, 34 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County, with an altitude of 2 186-2509 meters. It is named after being at the top of the mountain and the sun shines first. Shouyangshan, the second son of Gu (now lulong county, Hebei Province) in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty, gave up his heirs Boyi and Shu Qi and went to Zhou together. Later, when he heard that the king of Wu had attacked Zhou, he kowtowed to him to stop him. Because King Wu didn't listen, he was very angry, so he didn't eat Zhou Su. He went west to shouyangshan, ate Wei, and then starved to death in shouyangshan, becoming a famous mountain in Longyou. Shouyang County was named after its establishment in Qin and Han Dynasties. Shouyangshan is towering, with the main peak sitting cross-legged like a loving mother, and the tombs of Boyi and Du Qi in the middle of the bay. The grave pile is 2 meters high and 3 meters in diameter, hidden under the pine and cypress, quiet and solemn. The stone tablet in front of the tomb is engraved with Zuo Zhuan's script "The Teacher of Eternal Life" and "The Tomb of Shang Yimin, Boyi and Du Qi". On the brick at the entrance of Monument Square, there is a couplet inscribed by Wang Lin, a calligrapher in Longxi: "The mountains are full of white flavor, and the fish flavor is precious. Two piles of loess shine high, and the sun, the moon and the stars shine. " The banner says "The mountain is rising." The existing monument was rebuilt at 1934. Behind the tomb, there is the Qing Palace (Hall of Loyalty), which was first built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Now there are five halls, with many stone tablets in front, which were established during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. There is a stone gate in the northwest of shouyangshan, which is named after two stones facing each other with a line in the middle. "Shimen jathyapple" is a local scene. There is a reservoir between the two cliffs with a capacity of more than 5 million cubic meters, which is an ideal water park. Behind the reservoir is a courtyard canyon fifteen miles long. Here, steep cliffs stand upright, surrounded by mountains, and the blue sky becomes a thin line. If a person is at the bottom of the well, the terrain is like a slate seam that has been untied by a big saw, so it is commonly known as the slab ditch. There are 27 scenic spots with strange natural shapes, just like fairyland. The gallery, which is drilled along ten miles, is full of curiosity, danger, strength, uniqueness, clarity, beauty, quietness, antiquity and wildness. If you go south from the county seat, you will at least reach Tianjingxia, which is about 20 kilometers. Weiyuan is the only place where the ancient Silk Road passes in Gansu today. In Lianfeng Township, about 30 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County, there is a hill, namely shouyangshan. At the end of Shang Dynasty, the monarch of the solitary bamboo country (now Hebei Province) had two sons, the elder brother named Boyi and the younger brother named Shu Qi. The king likes Shu Qi very much and wants to give him the throne. Boyi knew his father's mind and left Solitary Bamboo on his own initiative. JiShu refused to accept his brother's surrender to the throne, and also hid. Boyi and Shu Qi heard that Xibochang (that is, Zhou Wenwang) respected and loved the elderly, so they went to Zhou State together and settled Shu Qi and Boyi there.

Get down. Later, Xibochang died and Zhou Wuwang succeeded to the throne. King Wu reorganized his internal affairs, expanded his power, and marched into Shang and Zhou Dynasties. When Boyi and Shu Qi heard about this incident, they ran up to hold the reins of King Wu's horse and urged, "My father went to the battlefield to attack others before he was buried. Can this be called filial piety? Being a courtier, but attacking the monarch, can this be called benevolence? " Hearing these words, King Wu's soldiers were very angry and drew their swords to kill them, but they were stopped by the squire. Taigong said, "This is a man of virtue." Tell the soldiers not to embarrass them. When Yin was defeated and honored as the son of heaven, Boyi and Shu Qi thought it was a shameful thing and decided not to be Zhou Chen or eat. They helped each other to leave the ruling area of the Zhou Dynasty and lived in seclusion in shouyangshan, relying on picking Wei dishes to satisfy their hunger. When he was starving to death, he sang, "Climb the Western Hills and take advantage." Violence is easy to be violent, and I don't know what it is. Shennong, what happened in summer? I feel very comfortable. Yu Zuxi, the decline of life! "Song, then starved to death in shouyangshan. Yang En, head of the household department in the 23rd year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, wrote an article to demonstrate this matter. The article was carved into a monument at the fifth step of Lianfeng Mountain in Lianfeng Township, Weiyuan County. This monument is 7 feet high and 3. 5 feet wide, with the words 1 184. The inscription says that although there are five shouyangshan in China, Weiyuan shouyangshan is the real one. The author cites the classics and demonstrates them in many ways. Stone carvings are clear in handwriting and strong in calligraphy, which can be called the top grade in inscription calligraphy in Ming Dynasty. On the back of the stone tablet, in the second year of Chongzhen (AD 1629), Cao Simu, the magistrate of Changgong, wrote "The Story of shouyangshan Rebuilding Yi Qi Ci". This paper introduces the life of Boyi and Shu Qi and their worship in past dynasties, and explains the reasons and process of reconstruction. This monument has attracted the attention of many archaeologists and historians because of its solid arguments and informative materials. Zhu He in Ming Dynasty and Zuo in Qing Dynasty also wrote "The Inscription of Yiqi Temple" based on this inscription. More than 100 paces behind the tomb is the Qing Palace built by later generations to commemorate Boyi and Shu Qi. This word was first built during the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong (627-649 AD) and was later destroyed by the mutiny. In the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1874), people raised funds for reconstruction, and now it is a county-level cultural relics protection unit. There are five halls in the yard. Dark green marble is embedded in the front, left and right walls of the main hall, engraved with shouyangshan's Ancient Poems (preface) by Fan Shaoru of Hunan Province in Qing Dynasty and Rebuilding the Monument of Qingsheng Xiangtang of Longxi Tomb. There is also a "New Qing Palace Monument in shouyangshan" in the hospital, and the inscription was written by Zuo.
