There is a "Magpie Bridge Immortal" arch bridge in Yinhan

The construction of the local "Magpie Bridge Immortal" stone arch bridge can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Yinhan Town is located at the southernmost tip of Peng'an County, close to Zhengshan City, Guang'an District, Guang'an City The township borders Tianping Town, Yuechi County, and is 40 kilometers away from the county seat. The town covers an area of ??35 square kilometers and is a hilly area. Xiaoxi River, which originates from the north of Baiyun Mountain, passes by Yinhanchang and finally intersects with Qujiang River. "The riverbed of this river did not pass through here in history." A local man named Li Guozhang told reporters. Li Guozhang, 47, is a contractor. Out of his love for the history and culture of his hometown, he has done a lot of research on the history and culture of Yinhan in recent years. In November last year, Li Guozhang was hired as a "cultural relic collector" by the Peng'an County CPPCC. The summer weather changes all the time. It was cloudy just now in Yinhan, and now it suddenly started raining. We braved the rain and came to the Xiaoxi River. Here, there is a stone arch bridge built in the Han Dynasty according to local research. The Xiaoxi River is not wide, and the river banks are somewhat neat. A stone arch bridge sits on the river bed. The edge of the stone staircase of the arch bridge has lost its outline and there is a lot of grass growing there. The stone strips on the edge of the bridge arch are engraved with patterns that are not modern. Pointing to the 5.4-meter-wide bridge deck, 65-year-old local villager Chen Youan said that the bridge was very lively in history, with a three-story bridge pavilion, chairs placed on both sides of the bridge, and people setting up stalls on the bridge to do business. "There are 'horse-hanging stakes' at the head of the bridge." Li Guozhang pointed to the groove marks on a stone slab at the east end of the bridge. In the past, there was a bridge construction monument here. Last year, Li Guozhang took a boat under the bridge and discovered that there were three characters "Magpie Bridge Immortal" carved in stone under the bridge arch. Li Guozhang said that after his research, the bridge was built during the reign of Emperor Gaodi of the Western Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,200 years. "It is said that when Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty visited Yinhan, the local people opened a canal and built the 'Magpie Bridge Immortal' stone arch bridge on it." Li Guozhang said that when Qin Guan came to Yinhan to visit the bridge, magpies chirped and rainbows appeared. , thus creating the term "Magpie Bridge Immortal", which refers to this as the road between heaven and earth. Did Yinhan Town change its name because of Liu Bang? There seems to be no precise research on why Yinhan Town in Peng'an County got its name. According to local people, Yinhan was called Yinxing in history, and its establishment can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Legend has it that in the eighth year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang traveled here and changed his name. Since last year, Li Guozhang has consulted a large amount of historical materials about Yinhan and through field research, sorted out a number of local remains and disappeared ancient buildings. It turns out that Yinhan, which is located in a remote area, not only has the "Magpie Bridge Immortal", but also the Yinshan Temple, King Yu's Palace, Ziku Pagoda, Sushan Temple, Fengshan Pagoda, Laisu Temple and Theater Tower. Behind the teaching building of the primary school of Yinhan Central School, there is a typical cross-border structure building in northern Sichuan. Standing on the roof of the teaching building, you can have a panoramic view of this group of buildings. On both sides of the main hall are two rows of long wing rooms. This is the Yinshan Temple, a municipal cultural relic protection unit. On the middle beam of the main hall of Yinshan Temple is written the time when the temple was built: the fifth year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, which has a history of more than 1,350 years. For a long time after the founding of New China, Yinshan Temple was the location of Yinhan Primary School. Due to frequent maintenance, the entire building was well protected. After the new teaching building was built, the elementary school was moved out of the temple, and Ginzan Temple was protected. Due to disrepair, Yinshan Temple is now a Class D dilapidated building. The ruined Laisu Temple, located on the hillside behind Yinshan Temple, is said to be named after Su Dongpo came here. This temple was originally Guishan Temple, and it preserves the stone tablet specially carved by Su Dongpo when he came here. During the "Cultural Revolution", a cadre of the Nanchong District Cultural Bureau saw this monument and asked the local villagers to bury it underground for fear of damage. Historically, Yinhan was the seat of the Wei Mansion of Yinhan County in Ba State, and its establishment time was similar to that of Anhan County. At that time, this was the only way to go from Guang'an, Peng'an, and Yuechi to Nanchong, Chengdu and other places. In the 1950s and 1960s, Yinhan Market was as lively as Xiahe Street in Peng'an County. The discovery and struggle of ordinary villagers "To be honest, I, who was born in Yinhan, had never thought of 'Qixi Festival' in the past. An accidental opportunity made me start to pay attention to my hometown." People did not expect that Li Guozhang was the "wheelchair man" on the Internet girl". Li Guozhang said that in recent years, Xiangfan and Shiyan in Hubei and a county-level city in Jiangsu have used the "Yinhan" card to play the "Qixi Festival cultural card" and held cultural festivals one after another. "I think of my hometown Yinhan." Li Guozhang searched the Internet and found that the only city or town named after "Yinhan" in China is Peng'an, Nanchong, Sichuan. "In other words, the name of Yinhan Town in Peng'an County is unique in China." Li Guozhang couldn't figure out why people in places like these that have nothing to do with Yinhan can "make things out of thin air" for tourism development to increase their popularity. Why do we keep " "Yinhan" but turned a blind eye? Li Guozhang, who was determined to explore the "Qixi Festival" culture, did not stop there. After accidentally discovering the name "Magpie Bridge Immortal" under the stone arch bridge, he also found a number of cultural relics. He believes that creating the source of Chinese Valentine's Day culture in Yinhan around the topic of "Chinese Valentine's Day" will be of great use one day. With Li Guozhang's persuasion and efforts, the Yinhan Town Government began to plan to restore the pavilions and pavilions of the "Magpie Bridge Immortal" stone arch bridge. In November last year, Li Guozhang informed the new county party secretary Yuan Ling via text message about the situation in the birthplace of Yinhan's "Qixi Festival" culture, and received support. Immediately, with the support of the town party committee, Li Guozhang wrote written materials on the cultural relics related to the "Chinese Valentine's Day" that had been discovered in Yinhan Town and submitted them to the county "two sessions", which attracted the attention of the county People's Congress and the CPPCC.

Under the introduction of the CPPCC, Li Guozhang made a special trip to Xiangfan, Hubei to participate in the "Qixi Festival Cultural Festival" and inspect other people's practices on the spot. During his trip to Xiangfan, Li Guozhang strengthened his judgment that "Yinhan is the birthplace of Chinese Valentine's Day culture." In June this year, Li Guozhang, with the support of the local party committee and government, promoted Yinhan as the "cradle of Chinese Qixi culture" online. Cold Thoughts on the "Qixi Festival" Culture in Yin and Han Dynasties Qin Guan is a famous writer of the graceful Ci School in the Song Dynasty of my country. The previous commentaries on Ci were mainly based on euphemism. Therefore, Qin Guan's Ci is regarded as the "center of the Ci" in the traditional concept. Qin Guan, named Shaoyou, was born in 1049 and died in 1100. He was a native of Gaoyou, Yangzhou (now Jiangsu). In the eighth year of Yuanfeng of Song Dynasty (1085), he became a Jinshi. After serving as a local official in Caizhou for five years, he served as a court official in Kyoto for four years. During this period, he participated in political activities between factions and had close contacts with old school figures such as Su Shi and Su Che. Li Guozhang insisted that he had consulted relevant historical materials in detail. The first time Qin Guan came to Yinhan was in the tenth year of Xining (1076), and he wrote "Yinhan Silent"; the second time he came to Yinhan was in the second year of Shaosheng (1096). ), built "Su Shiyuan" and wrote "Quie Lou Tou" and other words. "These contents can be found in "The Complete Works of Su Shi" and relevant national chronicles. According to Qin Guan's historical materials, Qin Guan seems to have never been to Sichuan during his lifetime. The content of his "Magpie Bridge Immortal" is: "Xianyun makes tricks, Flying stars spread hatred, and silver and gold are far away in darkness. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless people. Tenderness is like water, and good times are like dreams. If the two love lasts for a long time, how can they be together day and night. Some people point out that the "Yinhan" in Qin Guan's "Quqiao Immortal" refers to the Milky Way in the sky, not Yinhan Town in Peng'an County. Such evidence seems far-fetched. However, some people think that anyway, there is a place in Yinhan Town in Peng'an County. "Magpie Bridge Immortal" ancient stone arch bridge, as well as the unofficial history of Qin Guan's visit here. At the same time, there are preserved poems written by Su Dongpo "Every good thing is ready on Thursday, and one yuan is wonderful to make people's voices pure." Whether Qin Guan has been to Yinhan. Whether Liu Bang visited here will undoubtedly need further research by historians. However, there is only one "Yinhan Town" named after Yinhan in China, and it is in Peng'an County. "Culture, it seems there is some truth.
