A Weekly Chronicle of Thirty Nightmares (4)

The origin culture lasted for a long time.

Folk songs sing home.

There are many folk sayings about the beauty of Quzhou City. For example, there is a saying that "if you don't see three mountains, the four seas will not do it", such as "Guangfu has a good wall and Quzhou has a good archway". Another example is "Don't go out of the city, three bridges, go out of the city (east), cross the suspension bridge, go to Dongguan, pile bridge, bronze Buddha Hall, Sanguan Hall, and the school parade is really lively." And so on, describing the beautiful history of hometown, Quzhou people are proud of their hometown feelings.

The "four seas don't do it" in "three mountains don't see, four seas don't do it" refers to several Haizi left behind when the city built a wall to borrow soil. It is said to be "four seas", but in fact there are at least seven places. The sum of its area accounts for nearly half of the whole city, scattered throughout the city. There are three places on the south side of Dongxi Street, which are called Donghaizi, Nanhaizi and Xihaizi from east to west. There are three villages: Dongjie, Nanjie and Jessie. Haizi is separated by households, of which Nanhaizi is the largest. I remember when I was in junior high school, Chengguan Middle School was just north of Donghai and Nanhaizi. When I was in physical education class, I sometimes ran around Haizi, and every run was a class. There are also three water surfaces in the north from east to west, and there is only one road next to it, collectively known as Beihai Zi, which is also the largest in the middle, and is located in the east of Dongjie and Beijie Village. There is also a Haizi in the northwest corner of the county seat, located in North Street. Because it looks like an ingot, it is called an ingot Haizi, and later it became a place for fishing teams to work and breed fry. In 1970s, the county animal husbandry bureau guided it to breed African crucian carp (Luo Fei) successfully, which was also a small scientific research achievement. Because of the low altitude, high groundwater level and Fuyang River, these Haizi never dried up in the drought year, so there is a saying that "the four seas don't do it". It's different now. Haizi has been much smaller, because people around him are constantly filling the sea to build houses. Except for a little old site in the west, the moat has been completely filled in to build a house. Haizi was cut off from the outside water and became a stagnant pool. Xihaizi has dried up like the ground, and the residential building is almost finished. A pit in the east of Beihai has been completely filled, houses have been built and roads have been built. "Three mountains are missing", which three mountains are hard to say. Quzhou is located in the North China Plain, as far as the eye can see. "Quzhai is flat, without hills and hills", let alone mountains, and even a small mound is hard to find. The mountain of "Three Mountains" is actually a wrinkled, leaky, thin and transparent Taihu Rock rockery, or a Lingbi stone ornament with an inky color and a pleasant sound. Ancient Quzhou not only produced many famous literati, such as the "four ministers once" which was a smash hit in the Ming Dynasty. Because of its geographical relationship, it is a modest water terminal with many businessmen and many people who are rich as enemies. No matter where you are, you should build a manor garden in your hometown. Taihu stone is essential for the construction of courtyard gardens and pavilions, as is the lobby of high-rise buildings and Lingbi stone. Therefore, appreciating strange stones has become a temporary trend. There are three most famous ones. One is in the yard in front of the "three halls" of the county government. It is tall and majestic, and it is the princess's favorite. In his spare time, he should watch and play. One is in the Confucian Temple Garden, and Wen Xiu is full of gas fields. He is the host and guest of the Crescent River and sets each other off; Another one is in the deep house of a big house. Some people say it's the Yang family in South Street, some people say it's the Wang family in East Street, and some people say it's the Lujia family in Dongguan, all of whom are provincial and ministerial officials. The mansion is unusual, and Taihu Lake has more than one stone, all of which are excellent works. "There is no Ding Bai between us." Most people can't even get into the gate, so it's hard to see. In the early Qing Dynasty (a native of Xianggong Village in Quzhou), there was a poem "Yunluzhai Lingbi Stone, which was taken after the play, and later taken by the literary symbol". (Yunlu is the name of Liu You, the grandson of Liu Rongsi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the late Ming Dynasty. The document number is the name of Lu Zepu, the second son of Lu Zhenfei, the official department of Nanming Longwu regime and the minister of war. After all, senior officials, man of the hour. ) The poem says: "It is not enough to find a distant building. The strange stone is the fairy of interest, facing the study and entertaining in the morning and evening. It was taken away on the road. This popular addiction is Bird addiction. There are thousands of things in the East China Sea. Who can belong to Zhao Bi? Throughout the ages, experts never get tired of being stupid, and many of them are willing to do so. * * * I made an appointment to pay homage to this gentleman, and I would like to order three benefits. " It shows that playing with stones became a habit and loving stones became a hobby. It is understood that in the 1950s, Mr. Peng Babai, a famous painter whose ancestral home was Nanjie Village, Quzhou County, loved Lan Ruzi and Shi Ruzi. He once left one of the "three mountains not seen" stones, engraved with bluegrass, calligraphy, stamps and so on. To show his treasure. In the early 1980s, in an exhibition of cultural relics, the county cultural center once exhibited a "three mountains are short of" Taihu stone. It was really strange and lovely, but it was moved around and disappeared.

Guangfu is a good city wall and Quzhou is a good archway. Guangfu is now a tourist area of Guangfu ancient city. It is a "curved beam" in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a city has been built. It has always been the regional political center of southern Hebei. The city is getting bigger and bigger, and the city walls are getting better and better, so it has the reputation of city walls. Not in Quzhou, nor does it appear outside the text. Speaking of this "good memorial archway in Quzhou", the memorial archway is a building built in feudal society to commend meritorious service, science, virtue, loyalty and filial piety. There are also temples with memorial archways as mountain gates or marked with place names, and there are also large families with memorial archways in front of ancestral temples. Quzhou has been outstanding since ancient times, with simple folk customs and strong style of study. Especially in the early Ming and Qing dynasties, the idea that students are constantly flowing, talents are abundant, and learning is excellent is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. During this period, countless people took part in the county college entrance examination to get a scholar. More than 300 people won the provincial examination, and more than 80 people took part in the palace examination, and participated in the national examination presided over by the emperor himself. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the society was in turmoil, and there were many martial arts practitioners, including more than 30 martial arts masters. Look at Jin Fan's example. How hard it is. So many people are famous, it is natural to let them go. Personal success, memorial archway is an important product of singing praises for these senior officials and ministers. How many archways are there in Quzhou history? Because of the large span of time and space, it is difficult to verify. Most of them are in their seventies and eighties. The relevant departments in the county once inspected the Dongguan and Beifu sections of Fengcheng Road. In just a few hundred meters, more than ten groups of arched foundations and components were found, some of which were only 20 meters apart, which is a well-deserved "arched street", which also shows that there are many arched buildings in Quzhou.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yi 'e, the minister of the Ministry of War, had ten archways, which was the largest in Quzhou family. For example, the Qifeng archway is located on Fengcheng West Road. The owner of the memorial archway is Wang Yi-jue, the father of Wang. It was established when it was appointed as the master, and was built in the late Jiajing period of Sejong in the Ming Dynasty. The "Jinshi" archway, located in Fengcheng West Road, was established by Wang Yi 'e, a Chinese scholar, and was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing. The "Dazhong City" archway, located on the east side of the intersection of Fengcheng West Road and Street, was built by Wanli Emperor Wang when he was the governor of Shuntian, and was built in the tenth year of Wanli. "Yi Shi Shangshu" archway is located in front of the Party School of Fengcheng West Road County Committee. The owner of the archway is Wang Yong, Wang and Wang's grandparents. It was built in the fifteenth year of Wanli, and Wang Yong was Wang's grandfather. This archway is the tallest in Quzhou. It rests on the top of the mountain, has double eaves and is supported by four overlord columns. The middle two columns are more than three feet high, and the back two columns are two feet high. There are two stone pillars before and after each pillar. Each stone is carved with a big lion and a little lion. Camellia and peony patterns are carved on the front and back sides of the stone pillars, and the beams between the stone pillars are connected by the unicorn garden ring carved in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Liang Fang in the Ming Dynasty was more than 20 feet long, with the words "Imperial edict" written on it. The archway is tall and majestic, and you can see it ten miles away. According to legend, it is a place where "the civilian gets off the sedan chair and the military attache gets off the horse". The "San Enguang" archway, located in Chengbei Street, was erected as gifts for Wang Yong, Assistant Minister Wang of the Ministry of War and Assistant Minister Wang Yi of the Ministry of War. It was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

In Quzhou County, at least six archways were built for three generations: Xi Niu, Niu Shan Mu and Niu Weibing. One of them is called "Tianen", which was built when Xi Niu was appointed as a magistrate. The "Rong En Square" with Niushanmu was built for him when he was admitted to Jinshi. One of the "Ji Feng Border Pass" workshops was set up for him in recognition of his achievements in Daizhou and other places, and served as the deputy envoy of Shanxi Provincial Inspection Office and Koubei Road. There are three workshops for Niu and Niu's father and son, namely "Jinshi Workshop", "Taijian" and "Father and son Jinshi Workshop". ? In addition to praising local celebrities, there are also some memorial archways commemorating dutiful sons and women, advocating charity, and commemorating the upright officials in Quzhou. These archways are all top-grade stone, struck with copper tones, engraved with words and beautifully decorated. Most of them stand across the street and vary in size. In fact, some of these archways are archways, and there is no "building" structure, that is, there is no bucket arch and roof, while archways have roofs, which makes the contrast atmosphere even greater. But for a long time, the concepts of "house" and "building" were not clear to the people, so in the end, they became interchangeable titles. The archway and archway are mostly towering columns in the street, with the forms of "one room and two columns", "three rooms and four columns" and "five rooms and six columns". The number of buildings on the top floor appears in the form of the first floor, the third floor, the fifth floor, the seventh floor and the ninth floor. Among the archways in Beijing, the largest is "five rooms, six columns and eleven floors". Nowadays, if you want to see the old-fashioned buildings, you can only go to Nansitou Village, Yizhuang Township, the largest village in Quzhou County. In the Ming Dynasty, Taipu Temple had a "three dynasties' grace" shipai building, which stood tall and silently told the historical changes and became the only survivor of the "Quzhou Good Arch", which was precious. Today, people have built three antique new archways (actually archways) in the east, south and west of the county. The south gate is "three rooms and four columns" and the other two are "five rooms and six columns". It is more than ten feet wide, painted red and green, carved with dragons and painted with phoenix, which is very spectacular. After the archway, you can enter the city gate, and further inside is the urban area. Their names are "Chonghua", "Jingsheng" and "Yong 'an", just like the name of the ancient city gate.

And the folk proverb of going out of the city to the east has been sung all the time. The reason for going east is that Fuyang River is "more than 400 steps away from the county government" (I measured it myself, and I have to take it one step at a time). The south, west and north of the county are small villages in the wild, except the east. Because the Fuyang River is a flood and drought wharf that has not existed for hundreds of miles. Beiting Street on the east side of Fuyang River is a freight center and a wholesale market. No less than Xiushui Street in Beijing and Hanzheng Street in Wuhan. Therefore, the city is the political center and here is the economic center. All the way is full of businessmen's names, which is very prosperous. There are many buildings in nature. As the saying goes, if you don't leave the city for three bridges, if you leave the city, cross the suspension bridge, go to Dongguan, pile the bridge, the bronze Buddha Hall, the Sanguan Hall and the tinker drill, it's really lively. The three bridges that don't leave the city are the three stone bridges above Chi Pan, the gate of the Confucian Temple. Chi Pan is half-moon, commonly known as "Crescent River". There are three doors in the Confucian Temple, the main entrance in the middle is called Xingxingmen, and there are corner doors on the left and right, which are called Jinshengmen and Yuzhenmen respectively. Starting from these three gates, there are three small bridges on the Chi Pan. Go out of the city, cross the drawbridge, drawbridge city, put it down for people to pass in the morning, and lift it at dusk to prevent thieves and bandits. To go to Dongguan, bridge after bridge, between Fuyang River and the county seat, there is a small river ditch called Toudi Canal, which starts from Huangkoumen in the south of the city and passes northward. This is an artificial river. Because the county is low-lying, Fuyang River is a semi-terrestrial river, so it is used to stop Fuyang River from infiltrating into the county. There is a bridge over the river. It is a brick arch bridge with a big arch bridge hole in the middle and small arch bridges on both sides. The two small arches are not on both sides of the big arch, but on the side, so people say "bridge pile bridge" The guardrail of the bridge is a bluestone strip more than two feet wide with a high arch in the middle. Very beautiful and practical. When I was a child, I used to run around and play on it. People often sat on it or put things on it, so they all polished very brightly. It's for Tongji Bridge, which is the same clan as Anji Bridge in Zhaozhou and Hongji Bridge in Guangfu. It is also the word "Ji", but it is a small place with a small bridge and flowing water. In the 12th year of Qianlong, Lauzon, a magistrate of a county, was rebuilt with stone carvings and brick carvings. It is very beautiful, commonly known as the "three-eye bridge" among the people. Now the canal crossing the dike has been built into a culvert, that is, the whole river is a bridge, Tongji Bridge is useless, and the guardrail with bluestone slats is even more gone. From then on, we crossed Fuyang River to dongqiao town (now Hedong), where the bronze Buddha Hall and the Sanguan Hall stood. It is unusual to build them in the economic center. Not only is the temple large in scale and complete in regulations, but also the incense is flourishing, the bells are ringing and the smoke is filled. Tongfo Temple (information unknown, to be supplemented) is located in the first supply station of Nanyuan, Fengcheng Road. Sanguan Temple (Sanguan Temple) is dedicated to Sanguan Emperor, which refers to the heavenly officials, local officials and water officials. God bless the people, local officials forgive sins, and water officials slow down. The heavenly official emperor is Yao, the local official emperor is Shun, and the water official emperor is Yu. Located in the north of Fengcheng Road, opposite the bronze Buddha Hall, next to scissors (two roads are like scissors), it is still a local place name. The school parade is really lively. The school yard was the place where the garrison practiced and competed at that time. According to historical records, the earliest garrison in Quzhou County was in the 30th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1904), and it should be a regular army. In order to maintain the peace of one party, there are brave security guards in the countryside and police officers with faster auto in the county, and they all have to train themselves. Under the guidance of the coach, it is very lively to queue up in the square every day, shout and kill the sky, fight in a contest, ride horses and shoot arrows. It is located one kilometer north of the present National Defense Bridge, which is the northeast corner of dongqiao town. At that time, there was a temple next to the tinker, and the gods in it were unknown, so the locals called it the tinker temple.
