History of Bin County

Bin County

As an important part of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Binzhou has a long history, which can be traced back to the Yao and Shun periods.

The indirect cultural origin can be traced back to Yao's enfeoffment of Houji, the ancestor of the Zhou people, in Taidi (Wugong County, Shaanxi), about 2100 BC.

Its direct source is the period when Liu Bijie, the tenth generation grandson of Houji, lived in Bin (about 1562 BC, which is equivalent to the end of the Xia Dynasty).

Later, it was passed down to the ancient Duke Dan Gong (Taiwang of Zhou) through nine generations.

The Zhou people have lived in Bin for about 450 years. 3,500 years ago, Gong Liu, the leader of the Zhou tribe, established a small country called "Bin" here.

This can be seen as the origin of the name Binzhou.

Bin County is the birthplace of the Zhou people.

About three hundred years later, in about 1150 BC, due to the invasion of the Rong and Di, the ancient Duke Danfu was forced to lead his tribe to move to Qi, and the Zhou tribe further developed and expanded.

After Zhou Wu King Jifa overthrew the Shang Dynasty, he returned to his hometown Bin County to pay homage to his ancestors.

Historical Records·Zhou Benji records: "King Wu conquered the Lord of Jiu Mu and climbed to Binfu to look at the merchant town.

" This means that King Wu of Zhou led the world's shepherd chiefs to climb Binshan. Pay homage to the city of Bin State founded by our ancestor Gong Liu.

The reason why it is called Shangyi is because the ancient city of Bin State was built in the Shangtang era and was granted the title of Shang Dynasty.

After King Wu conquered the world, why did he travel across mountains and rivers from Haojing to pay homage to Bin? First of all, it was because Gu Bin Country was so sacred in his heart.

Gong Liu lived in Binjie for more than three hundred years. The remains of his ancestors are buried here. What is more significant is that this is an important birthplace of the Zhou people. If Gong Liu and his descendants were not here, When it comes to the founding of a country, where is the royal legacy of King Wu who unified the nine states? More than 3,000 years ago, King Wu's pilgrimage, ancestor worship, and triumphal ceremony made Gubin famous in China.

The famous "Bin Feng" in the "Fifteen Kingdoms Style" in the Book of Songs describes the customs and customs of the ancestors engaged in farming and mulberry farming in Bin County today.

Qixian County was set up here during the Qin Dynasty, Xinping County was set up here during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was changed to Baitu County during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Binzhou was established here during the Western Wei Dynasty, and was renamed Pizhou during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (the jurisdiction of ancient Pizhou was approximately the four counties of Xunyi, Chunhua, Binxian and Changwu today).

In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were two levels of government: prefectures and counties.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the attachment to Guo Xinping County was revoked, and the area under its jurisdiction was returned to the direct jurisdiction of the state.

In the early years of the Republic of China, prefectures were cut and counties were established.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the organizational structure of Pizhou was abolished and Pi County was established at the location of the original state government.

Because the word "邠" is a rare character, and "邠" and "bin" are related in Chinese philology, during the writing reform in 1964, it was renamed "Bin County" with the approval of the State Council.

The three characters Bin, Bin, and Bin come from the same origin, and their meanings are colorful and colorful.

Since Binzhou was established in the Later Wei Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it has been abolished and restored several times, and its administrative history has changed.

However, whether it is Bin State in the Gong Liu period, or Xinping, Sanshui, Qixian, Pizhou, etc. in later generations, it generally includes today's Xunyi, Chunhua, Binxian, Changwu, etc. The land is four of what people today call the "Five Northern Counties".

Bin County is home to outstanding people and numerous scenic spots.

Binren appreciates the majesty of Binshan Mountain and takes pictures of the graceful beauty of Jingshui River. Just as the ancients said, "talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."

During the Song Dynasty, Pan Dalin, a hermit, studied hard in Puze Valley (Shuibei Village in the north of the city). He was more famous for poetry than Fan Zhongyan. He won the reputation of the "true poet" of the Song Dynasty because of his sentence "The city is full of wind and rain, approaching the Double Ninth Festival".

Fan Zhongyan knew Pizhou, promoted martial arts and established virtues, and established schools and educated people.

Bindi can be said to be the hometown of famous people and outstanding achievements.

In this hot land that gave birth to Chinese agricultural civilization, Jiang Yuan, Gong Liu, Han Xiang Gongsun He, former Qin Wang Fu Jian, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, poet Li Bai, Tang Zhongxing famous official Guo Ziyi, the Five Dynasties later Zhou Wei Wang Feng Hui and many other famous figures made great achievements here.

Yu Youren, the patriarch of the national revolution, and proletarian revolutionaries Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai, Liu Zhidan, Zhang Zhanyun, etc. left their footprints here.

Li Yu, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Shunmin, a poet in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Lun, Yan Ben, Yan Rang and Liu Zhao, the upright Binzhou officials in the Ming Dynasty, have been famous for centuries and are still praised today.

In modern times, a group of great martyrs such as Wang Fugui, Zhang Zhanyun, and Hu Yanying made certain contributions to the liberation cause of the Chinese people.

Bin County currently has 2 national-level key cultural relics protection units (Big Buddha Temple, Bin Pagoda), 5 provincial-level sites, and 17 county-level sites.

There are 24 cultural relic sites in the county, distributed in 11 towns and villages, with thousands of cultural relics in their collections.

These cultural relics and cultural relic sites have become witnesses of Bin County’s long history and culture.

The Great Buddha Temple Grottoes are a dazzling pearl on the Silk Road. Built in the early Tang Dynasty, the Great Buddha Temple is a national key cultural relic protection unit and was once known as the "No. 1 Wonder in Guanzhong" in history.

The Amitabha Buddha in the cave is the largest Buddha in Shaanxi.

The majestic Binzhou Tower fully demonstrates the superb architectural art of the working people.

The murals and painted reliefs on the tomb of Feng Hui, King of Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty, provide precious literary and historical materials for the study of the history of the Five Dynasties and fill the archaeological gaps in the history of the Five Dynasties in my country.

The tomb of Gong Liu, the tomb of former Qin King Fu Jian, Bin Pagoda, Shuiliandong and other cultural landscapes are famous far and wide.

A large number of cultural relics such as the Buddhist bells from the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Linjiabao Village have laid a good foundation for tourism in Bin County. The backflow pot discovered in Bin County has become the symbol of Yaozhou Kiln.

Pear and jujube wood handicrafts such as the Dafo Temple staff and garlic nests with local characteristics, as well as Binzhou pears, apples, Dajin jujubes, etc. have become tourist products that tourists are eager to buy.

Historical Celebrities

Jiang Yuan is the author of Jiang Yuan.

It is said that she was the mother of Hou Ji, the founder of the Zhou clan. She was the daughter of the Tai family and the wife of Emperor Ku.

According to "Poetry·Daya·Shengmin" and "Historical Records·Zhou Benji": During the festival, Jiang Yanye stepped on the giant's footprints in Lujiping (now in Nangou Village, Chengguan Town) and became pregnant and gave birth to rice.

Thinking it was ominous, he abandoned it in a narrow alley, where the passing cattle and horses would avoid trampling it. He also abandoned it in a mountain forest, and when there were many people in the forest, he abandoned it on a boulder in the south river, and birds covered it with their wings. , the female wolf feeds herself.

Jiang Yuan thought it was a sacred object, so she took it back and raised her.

Later generations honored Jiang Yuan as the Holy Mother.

The alleys inside the city, Lujiping and Langbao outside the city are all named after Jiang Yuan and her legend.

There is Jiang Yuan’s tomb in Shuibei Village, Tandian Township today.

Houji is the ancestor of the ancient Zhou clan.

Legend has it that Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the Tai family, was pregnant by walking in the footsteps of a giant. She was once abandoned, hence the name Abandoned.

He was good at planting various food crops. During the Shun Dynasty, he was the official of Ji, in charge of farming and teaching the people to cultivate.

The Zhou people believe that he was the one who started planting millet and wheat.

Gong Liu (1600 BC - 1520 BC) is said to be the great-grandson of Hou Ji, a farmer during the reign of Yao and Shun, and is said to be the grandson of Hou Ji for more than ten generations.

When he was alive in the late summer and early Shang Dynasty, he was a pioneer in Bindi and one of the founders of the Zhou people.

Around the end of the 16th century BC, Xia Jie was tyrannical and chaotic, abolishing agriculture and mulberry trees.

Gong Liu lost his hereditary agricultural officials and moved his clan to Bin.

He traveled across mountains and rivers, surveyed the terrain, and found that the north bank of the Jing River had fertile soil, beautiful water, and a pleasant climate, so he led his tribe to set up camp and build a city.

Gong Liu restored the farming business pioneered by Guangda Houji.

Prepare the boundaries of the fields, determine the territory, sow grains, plant mulberry and hemp, feed livestock and poultry, make plows and hoeing properly, plant and sow at the right time, the harvest will be abundant, people will be submissive, and life will be stable.

Gong Liu used the sun-guitar to determine the farming season, observed and studied the topography, built dams and canals, diverted water for irrigation, increased crop yields, and developed Bindi agriculture.

As a result, the Bin people had enough food and clothing, respected Gong Liu, and sang songs praising him as "Du Gong Liu".

After Tang destroyed Jie and established Shang Dynasty, he resumed farming and mulberry farming, and granted Gong Liu the title of Bin Gong.

Today there is the tomb of Gong Liu in Tuling Village, Longgao Township.

Gu Gong Danfu, the ancestor of King Wen.

Gu Gong is the abbreviation of "distant ancestor Gong", and Danfu is his name.

More than 300 years after Gong Liu Jubin, Gu Gong Danfu succeeded Bin Gong.

At this time, Shang King Wu Yi was tyrannical, intensifying ethnic conflicts and causing Bindi to be constantly harassed by Rongdi.

"Historical Records·Zhou Benji" records: Gu Gong rebuilt Houji Gong Liu's business in Bindi, accumulated virtue and performed righteousness, and was supported by the people of the country.

Xunyu Rongdi invaded, and Gu Gong gave a lot of property. Later, he invaded again and wanted to occupy the land and seize the people. The people were angry and asked for resistance.

The ancient Duke said: "With the people, it is beneficial to be a monarch.

The reason why the Rong and Di invade today is to occupy the land and seize the people.

People To submit to me is the same as to submit to them.

The people want to fight for me, and I cannot bear to do it by killing my father and son.

So I led my family and left. Bin crossed Qi and Ju, crossed Liangshan, and arrived at Qishan Zhouyuan.

The Bin people supported the old and took the young with them, and followed Gu Gong away.

According to legend, the place where the gathering started was Wanren Village in Chengguan Town today.

When people in other countries heard about it, they also defected to Duke Gu.

After Gu Gong moved to Qi, he named the country Zhou, and then appointed officials to plan fields, build cities and houses, and open up wasteland for farming.

In order to develop production, resist the Rong and Di, and ease internal conflicts, the merchant-assisted farming system was reused, and the Zhou clan gradually became stronger, laying the foundation for the eastward advance to destroy the merchants.

After King Wu of Zhou established the world, he pursued him as Taiwang.

In the fifteenth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1536), the Taiwang Temple was built in the east corner outside the south gate of the county. An inscription was written by Tang Qi, the censor of Shaanxi Province during the Ming Dynasty.

He said: "I am originally from the mountains. I became an official because I rode horses and shot arrows. If you ask me to be the prime minister, I am afraid I will not be qualified.

" Emperor Wu was moved and said: "Support the Prime Minister."

He had no choice but to pay homage to the prime minister and was granted the title of Marquis Ge Yi.

In December of the fourth year of Taichu (389), Yao Chang sent Dongmen General Renpen to pretend to surrender to Fu Deng, and agreed on a time to open the east gate of Anding City to attack Fu Deng.

At this time, Lei Eidi was leading his troops outside. Hearing the news, he rode alone to see Fu Deng and said, "Yao Chang is so deceitful that he cannot be trusted!" Deng stopped.

When Yao Chang heard the news about Fu Deng meeting in Bad Land, he said to his generals: "If this Qiang sees Deng, it will be impossible!" After Fu Deng was rescued, not only did he not reward Bad Land, but he became suspicious of him. of wisdom, courage and talent.

Yao Chang knew very well that the bad land was smarter than others. If he succeeded, the Northeast of Chang'an would no longer be the home of the Later Qin Dynasty.

So regardless of the opposition of the ministers, he personally led the troops eastward to fight.

Use a strategy to kill Wei Junfei and annihilate his people.

Seeing that the situation was over, Lei Evil returned to the Later Qin Dynasty, and Yao Chang treated him as before.

The bad place was very moved and said to people: "I think I am outstanding in wisdom and bravery, but every time I encounter Yao Weng who is in trouble, I will consolidate my distinction."

From then on, he was loyal to Later Qin.

He is "a man of fierce determination and purity, and must not do anything unjust. All the heroes in the north of the Ling Dynasty respect him" ("Jin Shu·Yao Chang Zai Ji")

Bai Hongzhou, the general manager, is very famous for his governance.

When I was more than a year old, I went to worship the general manager of Yunzhou. When the Turks invaded, Yan often captured and beheaded their leader. He was so afraid that he did not dare to come again.

After succeeding as the general manager of Shuofang, the Turks heard that Yan left and came back to invade Yunzhou.

So he was appointed as the general manager of Yunzhou, and the Turks retreated.

Not long after, he returned to Chang'an with illness and died of illness.

The legendary beauty of the Five Dynasties was shy. She was known as the "first beauty of the Five Dynasties". She was naturally beautiful, as delicate as a flower, and full of body. She was the most legendary beauty in the Five Dynasties period of China. She experienced it personally. Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, and Later Han almost witnessed the entire history of the Five Dynasties; her ancestral home was Pizhou (now Binxian County, Shaanxi Province). She married Liu Tong, a famous general in Houliang, as a concubine at the age of 17. After Liu Tong died, it was acquired by Li Siyuan, who proclaimed himself emperor. She She is humble and virtuous, and resolutely resigns herself to the throne. She is quite similar to Empress Yin of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She was born among the common people, has a gentle temperament, and a kind heart. She yearns for a plain life, but because of her natural beauty, she can't help but get involved in a world full of bloody killings. In the vortex of power, although he took power, fame, wealth, etc. very lightly, he prayed to the Buddha devoutly several times, but was unable to fulfill his wish, and eventually died an unexpected death. This is exactly what the saying goes: heroes should be born in chaos, and beauties should live in chaos. prosperous times.

According to the "New History of the Five Dynasties", Huajianshan was a surname from Pizhou (now Binxian County, Shaanxi Province).

Like Mrs. Hua Rui, Hua Jiansha is not named Hua. Her father, Wang, runs a non-staple food store in the city.

In the year of haircut, the flowers are so shy that their eyebrows are like distant mountains, their eyes are like autumn water, their nose is like Qiong Yao, and their teeth are like Hu rhinoceros.

Because of her natural beauty, full body, and appearance more delicate than the flowers blooming in spring, her neighbors and relatives from far and wide gave her the nickname "Hua Jian Sha".

Although she came from a humble background, her parents still hired a special private school to teach their daughter poetry, writing, and music.

Hua Jian Sha is smart, clever and has strong learning ability.

Since I was a child, I helped my parents with their business in the store. I have been well-informed and observant, and have gained a lot of experience in being dexterous and able to deal with people calmly and appropriately.

The special experiences in her teenage years were of great help to her later life experiences.

Due to strict upbringing, Hua Jianxian has been docile and kind-hearted since she was a child.

Liu Tong, a famous general from the Later Liang Dynasty, learned of Hua Jiansha's beautiful name and came to propose marriage with heavy gifts.

Although Liu Tong was old, he was good at both civil and military affairs. He was very magnanimous and famous.

During the war, the Wang family needed someone with a military background like Liu Tong.

As a result, the 17-year-old Hua Jianxian ("Wang") became the concubine of Liu Tong, who was over 60 years old. This kind of marriage where "a pear tree overwhelms a begonia" is unenviable. He has captured many infatuated boys in Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi.

("A pear tree crushes begonias": a classic example of Su Dongpo's ridicule of his friend Zhang Xian, a poet.

Zhang Xian married an 18-year-old concubine when he was 80 years old. , Dongpo wrote a poem to ridicule him: "Eighteen-year-old bride and eighty-year-old man, with pale hair and red makeup.

Mandarin ducks sleep in pairs at night, and a pear tree presses the begonia.

"After that, "a pear tree weighs begonias" became a euphemism for an old husband and a young wife, that is, "an old cow eats young grass."

) The old husband and the young wife are loving and harmonious, and respect each other as guests.

Perhaps because of jealousy of beauty, the sweet and happy marriage only lasted less than three years, and Liu Tong died in the battle.

After Liu Tong's death, although Hua Jiansha was not his official wife, she still made a house for him to keep the integrity.

During that time, people often saw Hua Jiansha, dressed in white, wandering around Liu Tong's tomb.

Among the miscellaneous trees and wild flowers, birds flew through the air and screamed sadly. The wind blew their clothes and fluttered. The graceful and beautiful flowers stood shyly in the wind, as lonely as the rising Luo Shen from the Luo River.

The wealthy children in the city who admired Hua Jian's shy beauty asked people to come to her door one after another and offered to pay a lot of money to marry her as their concubine, but she refused them all.

When Li Cunxu destroyed Houliang, the first person to attack the capital was Li Siyuan, the adopted son of Li Keyong.

Li Siyuan was born as a commoner in Shatuo. He had no surname and only had the nickname Miao Jilie. "Li Siyuan" was given by his adoptive father Li Keyong.

Li Cunxu proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country's name to Tang, and appointed Li Siyuan as the governor of Tianping.

Li Siyuan marched into Pincheng.

This warrior who dared to bend his bow and shoot at the tiger was so frightened when he saw Hua Jianshi that he immediately fell down under Hua Jianshi's pomegranate skirt.

In order to win the heart of Hua Jiansha, Li Siyuan did not hesitate to bow to the grave of Liu Tong, the famous enemy general.

Feeling his sincerity, Hua Jianxian finally took off her mourning clothes and fell into Li Siyuan's arms. At this time, Hua Jianxian was only 20 years old.

Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan were both adopted sons of Li Keyong, and they had a long history of overt and covert struggles.

Hua Jianxian was deeply afraid that her second husband would be killed, so she advised him to stay calm and protect himself, and not to leave the army for a moment, lest Li Cunxu take the opportunity to kill him with a halberd.

In the Tianchengyuan period of the Later Tang Dynasty (926), Li Siyuan was proclaimed emperor by mutinous soldiers on the way to suppress the rebellion, and he openly broke with Li Cunxu.

Hua Jianshi was far-sighted and offered advice to Li Siyuan: The situation in Hebei is complicated and it is difficult to establish a country. It is better to cross the Yellow River, use Kaifeng as the imperial base, and enter Luoyang.

Li Siyuan deeply agreed.

Just as Li Siyuan was leading his army to cross the Yellow River, news came that a military coup had occurred in Luoyang City.

Guo Congqian, the commander of the Forbidden Army who was an actor, launched a rebellion. Li Cunxu was killed in the rebellion, and the plan did not change quickly.

Li Siyuan urgently ordered the troops to turn their horses and gallop towards Luoyang on a starry night.

The war was quickly calmed down, and Li Siyuan was immediately established as emperor, and his history was known as Emperor Mingzong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Cunxu was arrogant and arrogant. After he succeeded to the throne, he trusted officials and eunuchs and exploited the people harshly, which eventually led to civil strife.

Li Siyuan adopted Hua Jiansha's suggestion, got rid of many of the harsh policies during Li Cunxu's reign, abolished some institutions in name only, and promoted frugality, diligence and caring for the people. The people gradually lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the entire Five Dynasties appeared in the government and the public. A rare moment of peace.

At first, Li Siyuan was just greedy for Hua Jian's shy beauty. He never expected that the daughter of a pastry shop owner would have such a high level of political accomplishment.

What is even more rare is that her modesty and virtue are no less than that of Yin Lihua, the founding queen of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Li Siyuan married Hua Jianshi, his first wife Xia was dead. He wanted to make Hua Jianshi his queen, but Hua Jianshi said: "Queen is just a title. As long as we love each other, it doesn't matter whether we have a title or not." Important.

Mrs. Xia is His Majesty's first wife. Although she has passed away two years ago, her two sons have grown up and are leading the army, and many of Xia's relatives are in important positions.

It is better to postulate the original wife as his queen for the time being. Firstly, it can show that His Majesty does not forget the old relationship. Secondly, it can also stabilize the relationship between father and son and win over the Xia clan.

"Li Siyuan is Hua. Impressed by Jian Sha's foresight and brilliance, he was also moved by Hua Jian Sha's humility and virtue, so he readily adopted Hua Jian Sha's opinions.

Sure enough, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty believed that the emperor was meticulous in handling affairs, did not forget his old feelings, and was willing to serve the court loyally.

After Liu Tong's death, he left Hua Jianxian a large amount of property. Hua Jianxian knew how to make the best use of everything, so he gave it to "Mingzong's left and right and his wives". Jian Sha's popularity in the court soared.

Three years later, all the ministers came forward one after another. They believed that the queen's mother's honor to the world should not be left idle for a long time, and they unanimously recommended Hua Jianshi as the queen. Li Siyuan also believed that she must be the queen.

Hua was ashamed but refused to resign, and strongly recommended Cao Shufei as his queen.

Her reason is: Concubine Cao Shu served Mrs. Xia in the past and was kind to Mrs. Xia's two sons.

Li Siyuan was resolute when he saw Hua Mianshi, so he had to comply with her wishes and make Cao his queen, while Hua Mianshi remained as Shufei.

Hua Jiansha respected Empress Cao very much, and Empress Cao was even more grateful to her.

Mingzong fought for half his life. At this time, he was plagued by illness, and Hua Jiansha's opinions were often adopted on major matters in the palace.

Although Hua Jianxin is not a queen, she is actually an uncrowned queen.

Hua Jiansha joined forces with the eunuch Meng Hanqiong and followed Mingzong's will to kill the important minister An Chongjie.

Liu Tong's two sons were also given official titles, and they had no worries about food and clothing.

Li Siyuan reigned for eight years. Although he maintained the overall stability of the government, he was unable to change the general climate since the late Tang Dynasty that local generals relied on their own pride and pride.

In the fourth year of Changxing (933), Li Congrong took the opportunity to take advantage of Tang Zhaozong's critical illness and took the lead in attacking. He was defeated and killed. The 67-year-old Mingzong also died of fright.

Li Siyuan’s fifth son, King Li Conghou of the Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne as Emperor Min.

Emperor Min was incompetent, and the real power was in the hands of Li Congke, the military governor of Fengxiang, and Shi Jingtang, the military governor of Hedong. (The two were originally Li Siyuan's left and right hands, and Li Congke was Li Siyuan's adopted son and son-in-law.

) Neither of them took Li Conghou seriously, and the court was once again in turmoil.

Emperor Min granted Huajian the title of Crown Princess.

Four months later, Li Congke killed Emperor Min and replaced him as the last emperor.

Emperor Min was ashamed of seeing flowers and interfered too much in government affairs, and was deliberately cold to her.

Hua Jian was ashamed that she had not given birth, so she adopted King Xu Li Congyi after entering the palace.

Once, when the late emperor was serving wine in the palace courtyard of the concubine, Hua Jian was shy and raised his glass and said with regret, "I would like to resign as emperor and become a monk and become a bhikshuni."

The emperor asked what he wanted, and Hua Jian said He said shyly: "My little Li Congyi, if you don't tolerate it, how can I see the late Emperor when he dies!" After saying this, he burst into tears.

The last emperor was devastated by this, and from then on he treated her mother and son exceptionally favorably.

Li Congke only served as emperor for less than three years, and was kicked out of the dragon chariot by Shi Jingtang.

When the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty invaded, the last emperor gathered his tribesmen and burned themselves.

Hanami, who cherished her life, shyly and calmly said to the Queen Mother Cao: "The matter is urgent, but it is not hopeless. Why not avoid it for the time being?" The Queen Mother Cao, who had already believed that she would die, decided to sacrifice her life for righteousness and said calmly: " Our Li family has reached this point, and I can't bear to be alone, so take care of yourself, sister!" Empress Dowager Cao and Emperor Mo burned themselves to death, but Hua Jianshan and Li Congyi's brother and sister escaped because of their tight hiding.

After surviving the catastrophe, Shi Jingtang gained the shame of seeing Hua Jian, and asked himself to be a nun again.

Shi Jingtang respected Hua Jian's shy character and felt that keeping her could win people's hearts, so he moved her mother and son to the De Palace to forgive them.

Later Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Bianliang, and took her mother and son with her.

Queen Gaozu respected Hua Jianxi very much.

In the fourth year of Tianfu, Shi Jingtang established an ancestral temple for the Later Tang Dynasty, and made Li Congyi the Duke of Xi to preside over the ancestral temple of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Shi Jingtang was emperor for seven years and died of illness in 942 AD. His adopted son Shi Chonggui succeeded him as emperor.

Shi Chonggui followed the advice of powerful ministers Feng Dao and Jing Yanguang and turned against the Khitans.

Hua Jian was ashamed and the mother and son returned to Luoyang.

Yelu Deguang, a Khitan man, led an army to attack Bianliang.

In order to save innocent people from the war, Hua Jian returned to the capital to meet Yelv Deguang.

Yelv Deguang admired Huajianshi’s character. After seeing Mingzong’s portrait, he burned incense and knelt down and said to Huajianshi: “Mingzong and I are brothers, and you are my sister-in-law.

< p>" Then the three armies were ordered not to disturb the people, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately.

(Very different from the facts.

) He also asked Zhao Yanshou, who wanted to dominate the Central Plains, to marry Li Congyi's sister, and named Li Congyi the military envoy of Zhangxin Army.

Hua Jian, who looked at the changes in the country like a revolving lantern with a cold eye, politely thanked Li Congyi and returned to Luoyang with his son.

(Wrong, in troubled times, only by supporting troops can you protect yourself!) Yelu Deguang returned to the north and left Xiao Han to garrison Bianzhou.

At this time, the baton of the "Five Generations" was passed to the fourth baton, Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan raised troops in Taiyuan with great momentum.

Xiao Han felt guilty and wanted to withdraw his troops to the north. He took a fancy to the appeal of Hua Jiansha and Li Congyi, and wanted Li Congyi to be the puppet emperor of the Central Plains.

After hearing the news, Hua Jianxi, mother and son fled in a hurry, but were still intercepted by the envoy.

Li Congyi was pushed to the emperor's throne to receive congratulations from the ministers.

Hua Jian was ashamed and said with tears: "My orphans and widowed mother were forced by Xiao Han. Is this a blessing? I think disaster is not far away!" Xiao Han went north, only for Bianzhou City Less than two thousand Khitan soldiers were left behind.

Liu Zhiyuan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, led his troops to invade with great momentum.

Li Congyi sent people to summon Gao Xingzhou, Wu Xingde and other local warlords to discuss resistance, but Gao and Wu did not move.

Li Congyi had no choice but to command the Khitan troops to close the city and defend themselves.

Hua Jian was ashamed and took stock of the situation and said to his son: "Our family is the descendant of a subjugated country. How dare we compete with others for the world!" So he wrote a letter and sent someone to welcome Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan heard that Li Congyi had wanted to resist before, so he sent general Guo Congyi into Bianzhou to kill Hua Jian and his mother and son.

Hua Jian was ashamed but showed no fear, and angrily said to Guo Congyi: "What crime did my mother and son have? Why don't you spare my son's life so that he can eat cold food every year to show his filial piety to Mingzong?" Guo Congyi was ordered to be executed.

Everyone who heard Hanami’s shy and sad *** burst into tears.

Li Congyi was only 17 years old when he died, and Huajiansha was 42 years old.

Liu Zhiyuan also "does not live up to his name" (not "Zhiyuan".

) Even orphans and widowers are not spared, how can he himself have a good ending? In total, the Later Han Dynasty only lasted four years, and he himself died after less than a year as emperor. (From February 947 AD when he proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan to the first month of the following year, it was less than 12 months.

) His son Chengyou was also killed by the rebels two years later.

Hua Jian Sha is one of the most legendary beauties during the Five Dynasties period.

She experienced the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin and later Han, and witnessed the rise and fall of almost all dynasties in the Five Dynasties.

(Except for Hou Zhou.

) She was born as a commoner and yearned for a plain life. Because of her natural beauty, she was involuntarily involved in a power vortex full of bloody killings.

Although he took power, fame, wealth, etc. very lightly, he prayed to Buddha devoutly several times, but it was difficult to fulfill his wish, and he inevitably died in the end.

This only corresponds to an idiom: I was born at the wrong time.

Also echoes a common saying: Heroes can be born in troubled times, but beauties are best born in prosperous times.
