On the Prose of Guan Ju Bi

In the cool summer of 20 14, people in Ankang, a small town in southern Shaanxi, were scorched by the hot sun, which inevitably bred a lot of anxiety. Liu Bingjun, who is visiting relatives at Chiyan Town Health Center in Xunyang, called many times and invited us to spend the summer vacation and visit the site of Tongqian Guanchu Great Wall. His enthusiasm made me yearn for it, but because of the hot weather and busy work, I have never been able to do it. Fortunately, the day before the hot summer, the weather finally turned cold, and we agreed to go with Brother Dianjun and Diangen.

In the early morning, the "suitable autumn" light rain kept on. The hot weather finally passed in the cool drizzle! I was afraid that the rain would delay my trip, but Liu Bingjun made some phone calls early in the morning, which strengthened our determination to travel.

Because they had to wait for Wu Hong, they stopped at Zhanghekou after leaving Shenhe Station.

It's raining, and the fresh rain is cool and clear, which is a kind of mood, a state of mind. At this moment, the drizzle turned into a breeze, blowing on the face and body, with a different kind of relaxation and freedom. A lot of noise accumulated in summer also goes with it. This is a kind of warmth and yearning for autumn. I don't know when, after the rain, thick clouds slowly rose from the hills along the way, winding between mountains and peaks. Dress up a small and exquisite mountain village as a fairyland.

Chiyan Goukou, where Chiyan Market Town is located, is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. There is a beautiful mountain fort called "Goose Neck Bag", which sets off a small street to form Taiji Town in Chiyan, dotted with beautiful scenery in Chiyan.

The market town is very small, with about 100 households, which are basically two or three-story buildings. Occasionally, one or two surviving old houses carry the memories of the town.

Listen to the eldest sister-in-law of the farmers' market, saying that their seasonal vegetables, such as meat, tofu, dried tofu and pumpkin, are all produced by local farmers. There are all kinds of commercial outlets and commodities on the street, and the villagers walking in twos and threes are talking and laughing, all of them are carefree and happy.

A gurgling river passes through the town, and the water is warm and fresh. However, the littering on both sides of the strait and the direct discharge of sewage are somewhat unpleasant.

According to Liu Bingjun, Chiyan not only has many historical stories and ancient cultural sites, but also has peculiar natural scenery. From 1932 to 12, Marshal He Long led 10000 people to fight in Shaanxi and Hubei, from the Bahe River south of the Han River to Hubei via Chiyan Goukou, and fought a decisive battle with the enemy, leaving a huge legacy. Ancient cultural sites such as the Thousand Buddha Cave and the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, which were built in the Ming Dynasty, are national key protected cultural relics and are rare in southern Shaanxi. Strange natural landscapes such as Lion Rock are fascinating and can be enjoyed by tourists.

After having a simple breakfast in a small restaurant, Liu Bingjun's uncle took us to the ruins of Tongqian Guanluo City Wall. Mr. Liu is familiar with Taoist culture and the change of yin and yang, and he is open-minded and generous. Because he has been engaged in the work of "Taoist priest" for many years, he is an influential "capable person" in the town.

Although the country road leading to Tongqianguan is narrow, it is still open. Halfway through the bridge, it was interrupted, but Mr. Liu quickly contacted the local village party secretary, and he was very enthusiastic to pick us up by car.

In August, Tongqian Pass, full of green, stacked rocks and flowing springs, bamboo forests are quiet and full of vitality. In front of the stone houses along the way, you can see a large area of rare rice fields in Xunyang, and the fast-maturing ears of grain sway heavily in the breeze, indicating the depth and seriousness of mature life. The gurgling stream, like singing an old ballad in a low voice, welcomes our arrival. In front of a farmer's house, we were very surprised by a pair of "doors are stones" that are very rare now. Bamboo, trees, rice fields and slate houses ... form a dreamlike mountain village.

Along the way, you can see the scenery of "bridges flowing, old vines faint, crows crowing" everywhere. Between heaven and earth, there is still an exquisite fragrance of bamboo. Through the euphemistic and cheerful birdsong, the clean ears seem to vaguely hear the sound of bamboo shoots jointing.

It is reported that Tongqianguan Town is located at the southeast end of Xunyang County, bordering Pingli County, Zhushan County and Zhuxi County of Hubei Province. It is rich in resources, with a forest coverage rate of 88% and an area of 45,000 mu of bamboo, with ditches, forks and mountains scattered all over it, and is known as the "Bamboo Township in Southern Shaanxi". Mangosteen and Phyllostachys pubescens are mainly used, and suitable bamboo is introduced, so bamboo is used for bamboo shoots and bamboo is used for materials. It not only beautifies the environment, but also increases income, and has become the leading industry in the local area.

As the saying goes, "relying on mountains to eat mountains". In recent years, the local government has taken bamboo as the leading factor to develop industries and create ecological gardens, and held several bamboo shoot festivals in succession, making Bashan, a precious mountain, greener, greener and bluer. The cultural and natural landscapes such as the Great Wall Pass of Chu, Baibuti Waterfall and Tietongzhai Primitive Forest are unforgettable.

Stop and look up at the Great Wall gatehouse that says "Tongqianguan". It is located on a dangerous site at the junction of Qin Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Tongqianguan Town, Xunyang, Shaanxi Province and Zhuping Township, Zhushan County, Hubei Province jointly invested more than one million yuan for restoration and reconstruction. The combination of Guanbi and the mountain shows that the mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and reproduces the glory of the ancient Great Wall.

A closer look shows that there is an inscription on both sides of the city gate, which is called "Rebuilding the Copper Pass" and is copied as follows:

One said: "Tongqian Pass was an ancient pass during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Xiang is the fortress of Qin Chu Corridor and the porch of Huaxia Guild Hall. Xunyang in Qinye is in the west, and Zhuping in Chujiao is in the east. Hanshui River goes around the north, blocking the river and crossing the south. Xiongguan is full of roads, which is embarrassing; There are thousands of cliffs and 500 hanging stacks; Long Mai in Qinling Mountains, Bashan Back Garden; To be loyal, 10 thousand can't be forced. Emperors thrive from generation to generation, and each has its own space. Tang Yu also analyzed Kyushu with color. Chu and Qin are adjacent, as close as lips and teeth. South of Hanshui River, east of Panzhong. Shang Yong is an ancient country, and the country is unified. Look up at astronomy, look down at geography, open up territory, build cities and cast clocks. The land of ZTE is full of humanistic atmosphere. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes disputed, and Qin relied heavily on the strong. Chu, according to whoring lightly, keeps fighting, and each is respected. This is a place where there are many wars and a place to take advantage of risks. The Chu people built the Great Wall for self-improvement, while the Qin people led Julian Waghann to collapse. Internal defense Liang Yi, stealing rats, external defense Yu Shu, wolves and foxes. Although Zhushan Xunyang belongs to the same county in Hanzhong, the bandits and the people are incompatible, and Xiongguan is the gateway controlled by the court. Danger clearance is the key to robbery by thieves. The city wall was destroyed by the factional war. In the early years of Tongzhi, Xiongguan was restored in Chen's righteous act of recovery. Those who waste and prosper, personnel also. The person who peels it off and takes it back is also heaven. Today, it is worthy of a peaceful and harmonious society. South Great Wall, cultural heritage; Copper coins are an interesting place. At the beginning of Wuzi, two counties in Zhu Xun coincided, and jointly invested one million yuan to restore and rebuild the city gate. The people of the two places clapped their hands and cheered, gathered at the pass and enjoyed the tour. Qinling Mountain is high, and wine sings about friendship. Qin Feng painted new pictures, exchanged materials, exchanged culture and made sincere friends. Isn't it beautiful? Is it a pleasure to play strong notes in the rhyme of Qin Opera, make great achievements in * * * and build harmony in * *? Just remember. "

Secondly, Zhushan County is 200 miles west of the city, bordering the Qin River, and the boundary is an ancient monument: Tongqian Pass. The gateway to the division of the Gehry dynasty! There is a mountain protruding from the right of the mountain, towering and towering, and the valley is suddenly like a portal, commonly known as the West Gate. The ancients built a village here to guard against bandits. They once saw tens of thousands of ancient copper coins covering the ground during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the famous pass. Over the years, the stone walls have fallen down, leaving only ruins. In the first year of Tongzhi, bandits were rampant, so Yu Jian lived here as soon as possible. Looking at the steep mountains, it is not only a strong city in a township, but also a guarantee for a county and Xixiang. It needs to be discussed and rebuilt, and it is difficult to start with people. I'm running my own business, so I donated 40 stones to the valley. I stopped working and everyone was happy to follow. The east and south gates are built in proportion, and the small east gate and the small west gate are placed behind the mountain for firewood. The city is 10 feet high, 160 feet high and 230 feet high. On the steep mountain, worship and praise, when one guards it, overlook the enemy! When Rong Yuan and Qi Xin work together to clean up the thief's atmosphere, if there are still remaining foxes and mice breathing in the mountains, they dare not approach! Is to remember. Inscription: "Chen Xiangjie, wearing five products in the Qing Dynasty, was engraved in the third year of Tongzhi (A.D.1September 864).

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars were frequent, and governors of various countries attacked and annexed powerful countries one after another, and the people suffered from wars. Qin people are Koreans, and Chu Nu is a later Korean. In order to resist the invasion of other countries, Chu built more than 500 miles of the Great Wall to protect itself.

Today's Tongqianguan, a place where Qin Chu used to compete for hegemony with blades and rivers of blood in history, has become beautiful, quiet and peaceful; The people of Qin Chu live in harmony and enjoy profound friendship. In recent years, in order to inherit history, carry forward culture, strengthen commercial and trade circulation and friendly exchanges, and revive the ancient road, the people of Shaanxi and Hubei provinces have restored and rebuilt this long-standing and practical wall on the site of the Great Wall of Chu.

Standing on the top of the ancient city wall, the poem "The ancient road is still there today, and Ma Benteng is a thousand miles away" comes to mind. No matter how old it is, no matter how new it is, the majestic Tongqian Pass once again stands in the land of Qin and Hubei, telling the tragic and desolate history of Terracotta Warriors and Horses since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It shows the great changes in the ocean and the prosperity of the people. It is not only a valuable military heritage of our country, but also an important part of China's splendid 5,000-year-old culture and a bright pearl.

At Mr. Liu's house, we not only watched his full set of thread-bound book Kangxi Dictionary, but also had a sumptuous dinner. Excited, Brother Dian Jun splashed ink and wrote four Mo Bao paintings, such as Tao and Nature and Harmony between Heaven and Earth, as souvenirs.

On the trip to Tongqianguan, we left with longing and returned with emotion. Recalling the scene that day, I have a feeling of wanting more. The grass and trees of copper coins, the mountains and rivers of copper coins, and the bamboo soul of copper coins will always be printed in my mind.

I will definitely come to Tongqianguan again when I have the opportunity, not only to enjoy the scenery, but also to catch up with the past.
