Hengshui Jizhou ancient culture

Historical evolution The name of jizhou city originated from ancient Jizhou, which can be traced back to the ancient times when Chinese civilization was founded. According to Records of the Historian, Dayu controlled the water, "opening Kyushu, connecting nine roads, vicious nine rivers and crossing jiusan", divided wild states according to the general trend of mountains and rivers, and founded Kyushu, including Jizhou, and ranked first.

in ancient times, Jizhou had a vast territory, "including the northeast of the big river (Yellow River)", and Erya Shidi recorded that "the two rivers called Ji", that is, the vast area between the Yellow River and the Liaohe River. The territory of ancient Jizhou includes the two provinces of Hebei and Shanxi, the vast area north of the Yellow River in Henan Province, south of Inner Mongolia and west of Liaohe River in Liaoning Province, which is the highest in Kyushu. In ancient times, Jizhou was still the land of the imperial capital, and the capitals of the three emperors of Yao, Shun and Yu were all in Jizhou, which was called "the state in the world, where the son of heaven always lived". In ancient times, Kyushu had a far-reaching influence, which condensed the strong cultural complex of the Chinese nation. Jizhou, known as the "head of Kyushu", became famous all over the world and was sung from generation to generation. Hebei province, referred to as "Ji", also comes from ancient Jizhou.

in the sixth year of emperor gaodi in the early western Han dynasty (21 BC), the old city of Jizhou (named xinducheng) became a county and county administrative office, which was successively called xinducheng, xinducheng, Guang Chuan, lechengguo and anping. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jizhou was located in Xindu, and then Xindu became the administrative center at the state, county and county levels. Especially in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Jizhou has always been a "giant state in the capital" that assisted Kyoto, and Jizhou City has always been a local administrative, economic and cultural center, which has played an important role in historical development. Since the Qing Dynasty, the jurisdiction has been gradually reduced, and Jizhou has been changed to Zhili Prefecture, which governs Nangong, Wuyi, Hengshui, Zaoqiang and Xinhe counties. In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), Jizhou, Zhili Prefecture, was abolished and began to be called Jixian County. In 1993, with the approval of the State Council, Ji County was withdrawn from the county to establish a city (county-level city).

before Qin and Han dynasties, there were so-called "Kyushu" and "Twelve States" in China. Yu Gong called Kyushu Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang and Yong. Erya calls Kyushu Ji, You, Yan, Ying, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu and Yong. Ji is divided into Ji and you. Zhou Li called "Kyushu" Ji, You, He, Yan, Qing, Yang, Jing, Yu and Yong. Ji is divided into three states: Ji, You and He. Yao Dian is divided into 12 states, saying that after Yu controlled the water, Shun divided the "Kyushu" referred to by Yu into 12 states. But both "Kyushu" and "Twelve States" are legendary local administrative divisions. Jizhou, as a practical administrative division, began in the Han Dynasty.

There are many ancient monuments in Jizhou, and there are 17 ancient monuments recorded in Ji County Records of the Republic of China. Among them, the earliest monuments are Zhao Zheng Monument in Anping, Chen Liuding Shaobei, Emperor Wendi's Southern Tour Monument in Han Dynasty, and Feng Qing Tombstone in Tang Wenlinlang, many of which are rare among the stone inscriptions. Existing important ancient monuments include: Nantan Memorial Monument, Chikurinji Monument, Sanyou Baibei Monument, Song Mailun Tombstone Monument, Rebuilding Jizhou City Monument, Hu Fuzi Monument, etc. There are hail towers, skyscraper towers (destroyed), and many ancient stone carvings, such as the great stone mill in Han Dynasty, the Shijinglan in Tang Dynasty and the stone statues of past dynasties. There are many cultural relics unearthed in Jizhou. The cultural relics entrusted by jizhou city Cultural Protection Institute to Hengshui District Cultural Relics Preservation Center are: 4 national second-class cultural relics, all of which are Han Dynasty cultural relics and 9 national third-class cultural relics, including 2 Han Dynasty cultural relics, 1 Tang Dynasty cultural relic, 3 Jin Dynasty cultural relics and 1 Ming Dynasty cultural relic. There are 239 pieces (pieces) of cultural relics in jizhou city Wenbao Institute, 1 piece of cultural relics in Jin Dynasty, and 5 pieces of cultural relics whose age has not yet been determined, among which the most precious piece is the piece of gold thread (or silver thread) jade clothes in Han Dynasty. The Tourism Bureau has also preserved many cultural relics, including those left over from the Yangshao and Banpo cultures.

Historical Celebrities In the long history of Jizhou, many outstanding figures have emerged, including imperial officials and scholars. These celebrities have made certain contributions to historical progress and social development from different aspects and are admired by later generations. The allusion of "hanging beam on the head" comes from Sun Jing, a native of Jizhou in Han Dynasty, and becomes a model of hard study. Tong Pi, a good general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, helped Liu Xiu achieve great things and was honored as the "King of Medicine". During the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Feng Ba and Feng Hong from Jizhou were the monarchs of Beiyan; Feng Taihou, a female politician in the Northern Wei Dynasty, was a native of Yueliang Village in the east of Jizhou, and her measures of sinicization had a far-reaching impact on later generations. There are also many masters of Confucian classics in Jizhou: Liu Zhuo, a Confucian scholar and astronomer in Sui Dynasty; Father Kong Chao, a famous minister and writer in Tang Dynasty; The translator of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous monk Shi Daoan, the modern martial artist Song Mailun, and the modern ancient book expert Lei Mengshui are too numerous to mention.

Sun Jing, a native of Xindu (now Sun Zhengli Village, Jizhou Town, jizhou city) in the Han Dynasty, is the story of Sun Jing's diligence and studiousness. "Taiping Yu Lan" contains: "I am eager to learn, and I will never stop in the morning and evening". Sun Jing often studies hard all night. In order to eliminate the drowsiness, it is originated from the roof beam. If I bow my head and want to sleep, I will be alert. Sun Jing studied hard with his unique spirit of "hanging beam", and finally became a well-known scholar at that time. Later generations greatly admire Sun Jing's spirit of "hanging the beam" to study hard, and knead this with the story of Su Qin's "reading for sleep, leading a cone to stab his shares" in the Warring States Period as "hanging the beam to stab his shares" to educate students. In San Zi Jing, there is a saying that "the head hangs on the beam and the awl sticks to the stock, but he does not teach, and he works hard, such as a firefly, like snow, but his family is poor and never stops learning". Sun Jing, Su Qin, Che Yin's "firefly" and Sun Kang's "snow" are cited as models of hard study.

Feng Taihou, a native of Xindu, Changle County (now Yueliang Village, Jizhou Town, jizhou city), was an outstanding female reformer in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Feng Taihou has carried out comprehensive and thorough reforms in politics, economy, culture, ideology and customs. Such as: advocating sinicization, promoting education, and implementing equal land system. After a series of reforms presided over by Feng Taihou, the Northern Wei Dynasty became more and more stable, which laid a solid foundation for the large-scale implementation of the sinicization policy after Emperor Xiaowen took office, and had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
