Meiguan ancient road cultural relics

General Yu Temple is located between the pavilion and Meiguan, on a relatively open hillside dozens of meters west of the ancient post road. The General Yu Temple was built to commemorate Yu Sheng's meritorious service in defending Meiling in Han Dynasty. General Yu's surname is Yu, a famous scene. In the fifth year of Ding Yuan in the Han Dynasty (1 12), after Yang Pu, a ship general, took care of South Vietnam, he and his brothers stationed troops in Lingbei to build Yucheng and defend Meiling. Because he is the boss, he is called Dayu. After his death, people here built shrines to commemorate his achievements. Dayu County was originally named Dayu, and Meiling was called Yuling to commemorate General Yu Sheng.

According to legend, the temple site was originally the place where the Han garrison camped. 199 1 year, Dayu county people's government chose this place to build the general temple and the Chaohan platform. The shrine is an antique temple-style brick-wood structure with three bays and 90 square meters. There is a statue of General Yu in the main hall, and couplets are engraved on the pillars in front of the shrine:

There may be no plum blossom, just say the general's surname; From now on, I can pass by Guangdong, and I hope I will never forget the romantic life of the Prime Minister.

A few steps in front of the shrine, there is a concrete platform surrounded by a kitchen with stone railings, called Hantai, which is said to be the flag-raising place in An Lushan in the Han Dynasty. The flag-raising in ancient times was similar to today's. Raising the military flag shows that this is a garrison camp, and it is also a form of showing soldiers' loyalty to the court and the country. Located at the top of Meiling Mountain, Meiguan Building stands on the watershed of Meiling with the trend of "combining the north and the south", so it is called "crossing two provinces in one step". In ancient times, it didn't matter here In the pre-Qin period, Meiling was the "gate" of Chu, also known as the "south gate". After Qin Shihuang unified China, Hengpu Pass was established here. The former site is located on this Xiong Yu highway and is called Xiaomei Pass. Today, the rest of the museum building is called Damei Museum. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangxi Province. Meiguan was founded in the eighth year of Song Jiaqing (1063). County annals: "Jiangxi has the right to punish the Nan 'an army, and Cai Ting stands in Meiguan to divide the river and the wide world. "Because of the war in Meiguan, Guanlou was overhauled, and the existing remnant Guanlou was rebuilt in the 26th year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty (1598). In the past, Guanlou was divided into two floors, the upper floor was the tile roof and the lower floor was the city gate. Today, the upstairs has collapsed, leaving only the door closed. The entrance is 5.5 meters deep, 3.5 meters wide and 3.5 meters high. There are gates and bolt holes on both sides of the door, which shows that the doors are also overlapped by several layers. It is really "one person's strength, invincible in the world." On the city gate, there are stone tablets in the north and south, and the inscription on the stone tablet in the south is "South Guangdong Xiongguan" in four Chinese characters, without any signature. On both sides of the city gate, there are couplets that say, "May pedestrians quench their thirst and riot. "... is a topic of Li Hua in Ming Ting in the early years of Guangxu. The five characters "Lingnan No.1 Pass" are engraved on the stone tablet of the North Gate, and the inscription is signed by Jiang, the governor of Nanxiong during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The east is the only path to climb the building. Three meters to the west, stands a huge red stone tablet engraved with the Chinese character "Meiling". The monument is 2.7m high and1.2m wide. It was inscribed by the magistrate during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the words were vigorous and powerful.

Meiguan has always been a battleground for military strategists. The north and south of Meiling have been ancient battlefields since ancient times, and many heroes in history have left traces here. In modern times, the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Sun Yat-sen entered Jiangxi via Meiguan, and Mao Zedong and Zhu De also led Gongsijun to capture Meiling. Peng led the army to a stalemate with the White Army here, and later organized the famous Shuikou Campaign of Changchang with the Red Army, which defeated the encirclement and suppression of 20 regiments of the White Army in Meiling area. After the Red Army's Long March, Chen Yi and Xiang Ying broke through the Central Soviet Area and established a guerrilla base area with Meiling as the center here. They persisted in guerrilla warfare for three years. Chen Yi wrote such brilliant poems as Deng Da Yu Ling, Smuggling into Meiguan and meiling three chapters.

Meiguan was also a tax collection checkpoint in ancient times, with tax cards and lijin cards, and salt tax and stamp duty were levied on north and south goods. In feudal times, it was an important place for the state treasury to collect income. According to historical records, during Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, the business tax of Dayuling was twice as high as that of Wuchang Pass 1200. It can be seen that Mei tariff card played an important role in the national treasury income at that time.

Meiguan is a place where people seek the past to win. Recently, leaders of Chen Pixian, Zhiyong Mao and other countries and armies, as well as social celebrities such as Li, Yu Guangyuan and Zhao Zhongxiang visited Meiguan. The film and television industry also filmed news documentaries such as Meiling Spark, From Slave to General and Hakka with Meiling and Meiguan as the location, so Meiling and Meiguan are well-known at home and abroad. Yunfeng Temple, also known as Guajiao Temple. The original temple is located on the south slope of Guanlou, in an open space to the east of Liuzu Temple. There are statues of Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Bi in the temple, so it is also called Zhanggong Temple, or Zhang Er Temple, to commemorate their achievements in ridging and repairing post roads. The shrine was destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, leaving only a poem tablet with Hunan written on it. There is a cloud in Yunfeng Temple: Tie stopped riding flowers and went down to the temple gate, which covered the Lingtou cloud.

Today, Yunfeng Temple has moved to the foot of Lingbei Mountain, next to the ancient post road (donated by Buddhist believers). There is a very popular story in Guajiao Temple: It is said that there was a monk named Zhengyi in ancient Zen Buddhism who wanted to build a temple in Dayushan to preach Buddhism. So he went to a rich man's house in Wengyuan, Guangdong Province to ask for money. Unexpectedly, the rich man is very stingy, not only does not give money, but also has a very annoying problem. He said, "There are 65,438+000 new houses here. If the monk can even move the base, even if I dedicate myself to the Buddha. " Zheng Yi had no choice but to return to Jiangxi. On the way, he met Lv Dongbin of the Eight Immortals and saw Zheng Yi depressed. Originally, the immortal Buddha was not bound. This time, Lv Dongbin asked Zheng Yi: "Why are you sad?" Zhengyi told the truth. Hearing this, Lu Xian returned to the rich man's house to beg with justice. The rich man saw the two of them and smiled and said, "I'm not refusing charity." As long as you can move away, it is my charity. " Lu Xian then asked, "Are you kidding?" Where did the rich man know the immortal's skill, he immediately replied, "Never repent." So Lu Xian did what he did. He provoked this 100 house with a wooden stick and flew away. Just as I was about to fly over Meiling Pass, another monk jumped out and asked Lu Xian for a house, saying, "Leave one for me to practice here!" "So, Lu Xian tore down a room and put it on the clearing on the south slope, which became Guajiao Temple. The remaining 99 rooms were placed in Yashan, becoming Lingyan Temple. Guajiao Temple has a joint day:

When I hang the horn, I am the owner of the roof, and I still imagine the style of the Millennium;

If you look up and want to ask, you can put it in the middle of the mountain and lead a thousand plum blossoms in a test tube.

Ancient temples are hidden in the mountains, and people are tired outside.

The messenger stopped riding under the flowers, and the temple gate deeply covered the gate of Yunfeng Temple (Guajiao Temple) on Lingyutou Cloud * Dayu Mountain. Liuzu Temple and Zhuoxiquan leave Meiguan and travel south along the post road. There is a beautifully built Liuzu Temple on the east side and Zhuoxi Spring on the west side. There is a Buddhist story circulating here.

Six ancestors refer to Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, the founder of Nanhua Temple in Guangdong, and the sixth generation of Buddhists in China. According to legend, during the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, Hong Ren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, taught in Dongshan Temple, Huangmei, Hubei, and received many disciples. Before he died in his later years, he wanted to choose an heir to Buddhism among all the monks, so he announced that every slave monk would become a monk, and promised that whoever could understand the essence of Buddhism would pass on the cassock to him and become the sixth ancestor. Because the big disciple's beautiful mouth won the respect of the five ancestors and thought that the sixth ancestor was his, he quickly made a cloud: "I am a bodhi tree, and my heart is like a mirror." Wipe it frequently to make it dust-free. " After the poem was published, most monks thought his poems were good, which broke the method of practice. However, at this time, two illiterate monks appeared and asked someone to write a poem about beauty: "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage." There is nothing, so there is no dust. " After reading it, Wuzu thought that Huineng had realized the Buddha's nature and decided to pass the cassock to him. However, Huineng was born humble; In the temple, he is just a spring monk, and the magic performance may not be acceptable. It will hurt him in the future. So, before his death, Wuzu secretly passed the cassock to Huineng, telling Huineng to leave Huangmei immediately and take refuge in southern Guangdong, and not to come out to preach the law for three years. As expected. After the death of Wuzu the next day; Shen Xiu found that Huineng had taken the cassock. On the third day, he immediately called monk Huiming, asked him to lead 500 monks, and forced Huineng to take back his robes and other things. After leaving Master, Huineng traveled day and night, and one day she fled to Dayu and stayed in Dongshan Temple for one night. The next day, she arrived in Meiling, and it was very hot. When she reached the top of the mountain, she was exhausted and wanted to find some water to drink. But where is the water above the mountain? So Huineng threw Zhang Xi to the ground and said, "God never shuts one door but he opens another!" " Strange to say, after his Zhuo Xi meal, a clear spring emerged underground. After Liu Zu drank it, he felt sweet and cool, and was about to set off on his way. Suddenly, he saw that Huiming had caught up with the mountain. Knowing that he was no match for Huiming, he put his robes and other things on a big stone and let Huiming hold them. However, Huiming couldn't move these items with all her strength. At this time, Huiming also realized that it was inappropriate to take these artifacts. Seeing that Huineng was honest, he said to the Sixth Ancestor, "Let's go, there are pursuers behind." Then he went back and said to the monk who was chasing after him, "Huineng fruit is gone, so don't chase it." So Huineng escaped from the beauty crown. He returned to his hometown in the future and lived in seclusion for 16 years before revealing his identity. Legend has it that Huiming didn't go back to Huangmei after releasing his sixth ancestor, but found a mountain temple and practiced by himself. In order to commemorate the adventures of the Six Ancestors in Meiling, later generations built the Six Ancestors Temple here.

Zhuo Xiquan, also known as Zhang Xiquan. There are two ancient roads in Meiguan. One is at the north gate of Meiling Mountain, now called Liuzuquan. One is located on the south slope, with a large spring, and has been introduced into the Sixth Ancestral Temple. Now it has been used as well water, and there is a big stone next to it, which is a "potted stone" for tourists to watch.
