What is the origin of the name Golden Beach?

Under Yanmenguan, there is a village called Ludijian, which is famous for Yangjia ancestral hall. There are more than 65,438+0,000 people in the village, more than half of whom are descendants of the Yang family.

The Yangjia Ancestral Hall was built in the Yuan Dynasty, which is the most complete existing Yangjia Ancestral Hall in China. After Yang Ye's death, he was named "Taiwei" by posthumous title and "Zhongwu" by posthumous title. Later generations named Yang Zhongwu Ancestral Hall, commonly known as "Yangjia Ancestral Hall".

There is a unique and beautifully carved deer hoof stone in front of the ancestral hall. According to legend, when Sun Zhen of 14th Yang Ye was guarding Daizhou, he went out hunting one day and killed a sika deer. The deer ran away with an arrow, and You Yang chased it to Ludijian Village now, and the sika deer suddenly got into the ground. You Yang ordered people to dig, and dug out a strange stone, which was engraved with the pattern of sika deer with arrows and had obvious deer hoof prints. Later, people moved this strange stone back to the temple for storage, hence the name Ludijian Village.

For many years, in order to remember the noble feelings of our ancestors' loyalty to the country, Ludijian Village held a village festival every year, and every year the village festival had to sing operas, including Yang Jiajiang Opera.

"Bloody Battle on Golden Beach" is the most tragic and tragic battle in the legend of General Yang. In this fierce battle, among the seven dragons and eight tigers, Dalang, Jiro, died in battle, Shiro was captured, and Goro became a monk. More than half of the people in the whole Yang family died in the war. The drama Golden Beach shows the tragic story of this hero. However, the villagers in Lukoujian watched all the plays except Golden Beach.

It is said that one spring, when the village was singing a drama, the opera producer ordered "Golden Beach". Strange to say, before the performance, it was sunny and dusty. After the play began, the Khitan soldiers violently attacked Yang Jiajiang. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, flying sand and stones, yellow dust rolling, and it was dark. There was chaos on and off the stage, and the "Khitan soldiers" on the stage had to retreat. After the sandstorm, the audience sat down a little and the stage began to bang again. Lao Yang mobilized the masses to fight and led the troops to meet them. When Jiro and Saburo died tragically on the battlefield, a dark cloud suddenly rolled in from the northwest. In a flash, after the storm, thunder and lightning, pouring rain fell from the sky, and the whole venue became a stormy world.

After the storm, people said: This is the retribution of our ancestors. They don't want us to mention those sad things again. Let's make a scene. Don't make them unhappy. Ok, from now on, we will play Yangjiaqing and never play Golden Beach again. Then I changed to another play. Strangely, it has been sunny for several days in a row.

Of course, this is just a folklore, and people don't need to examine its authenticity. However, it is true that people in Rutijian village never watch the play "Golden Beach". Because they don't want to recall the sad past of their ancestors, and they don't want this tragic scene to disturb their spirits in heaven again. What they expect is a world without aggression, without war, only with peace and tranquility.

The great spirit of serving the country courageously, which is condensed in the legendary story of General Yang, is a kind of sustenance for China people to resist aggression, defend the motherland and pursue peace and good hope in the face of thousands of years of invasion and bullying by western powers. In pursuit of this hope, Yang Leling sacrificed and continued to fight with Yang. When a man dies, women such as She Taijun and Mu Guiying continue to fight; When the master dies, Yang Paifeng and other servants and maids will continue to fight. In the history of China, the Yang Jiajiang family is by no means the only example of this loyal family style. In Shaanxi alone, there are the Xue family generals of Xue, Zhou and Hu, and the Hu family generals of Huyan Zan and Hu. The legends and stories of these generals reflect each other, full of strong patriotism and shining with brilliant idealism.

Outside Yanmenguan, Yang Jiajiang once fought on the ancient battlefield named Golden Beach, which used to be a sword. The bonfire of smoke has long gone with the wheel of history. Today's golden sandy beach, looking around, is shaded by trees, flourishing and fruitful, and has become an orchard with a fragrance of ten miles.

When we pass here by the Beitongpu train, the train announcer or other people who know this place will always point out the window and say, "Look, this is the golden beach where Yang Jiajiang fought." The audience turned their attention to the outside of the car, looked at this unrecognizable old place, recalled Yang Jiajiang's achievements, and raised reverence in their hearts.

Yang Jiajiang, Xue Jia and Hu Jiajiang have gone far beyond the historical scope and sublimated into an indomitable national spirit, inspiring generations of China to work hard for the rejuvenation of China.
