Just getting off the bus, three huge characters "Baozhuyan" appeared in front of me. How did this original pavilion become a Baozhuyan? With this question, I turned left and right and climbed more than 1 stone steps, finally reaching the "Chongsheng Gate". "When you enter the ancient road of Shanmen for thousands of years, you can look back at the colorful couplets." When you read such childish and exciting couplets, just look at its meaning, and people who are in a bad mood will feel relieved and relaxed. When I entered the sacred gate, I looked up. From the four walls to the beams, there were ancient words and paintings, with peaches and plums vying for spring and swallows flying. There are elegant books, singing and dancing; There are boats rushing over, playing with pearls in Kowloon ... After passing the Chongsheng Gate and climbing seventeen steps, you can see the Daoyuan Pavilion. It is said that the pavilion was originally a wooden structure, but it was changed to a stone structure during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), and the existing monument was solemnly built by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The whole pavilion tower is a hollow stone imitation wood structure with three floors and six corners, all of which are built with hard granite. There are six round stone pillars and three stone bridges on each floor, and two giant beams are added between floors to make the pavilion tower more solid and firm! On the first floor, the first railing bridge has a hollow column to arch visitors in and out, and the other five lanes serve as railing chairs for tourists to rest and enjoy the cool. The bottom is 24.72 square meters, with six one-meter-high guardrails, and the pavilion is paved with a pattern of "Tai Chi with six sides in the middle circle". The overall height is 12.32 meters, and there is a golden gourd-shaped tower brake at the top. A "Long Mai" protrudes from the tile beam between each level, and the "dragon head" rises straight up ... The whole pavilion is strewn at random with stone strips, with meticulous connection and exquisite craftsmanship. The two stone pillars facing the stream on the ground floor are carved with a pair of stone couplets that have been carved for hundreds of years. Jingshan is towering, and the peak head directly explores the roots of heaven. " There are railings on the second and third floors, which is different from the first floor in that six octagonal stone pillars are used.
If you don't pay attention to it, it's hard to find it-just below the column, there is an ancient tomb that is still being swept by the descendants of the present tomb owner. It is said that it is "still sweeping", which can be seen from the laying of gorgeous modern tiles and incense sticks. It is said that there is also a legendary story: in ancient times, the tomb owner was surrounded by people, but he was a very hardworking person. After finishing his farm work at home, he went up the mountain to cut wood and go home to cook ... However, one day he went out to the mountain and didn't come back until evening. The family searched everywhere, searched every mountain and every dangerous river ... until the gong rang in the middle of the night, they still couldn't find it. The family had to wait until dawn to find it. The next day, the whole village went out, and they searched for him for a long time. It was not until the afternoon that they found him under the pavilion-there was a load of firewood, a water hyacinth and a mass of unfinished dry food next to him ... Groups of ants moved to the small soil bit by bit and buried it carefully ... His family rushed home to get some desserts and rice to treat them. However, the well-known local geomantic master looked at the surrounding geography and customs and said, "This is his home, and there is no better treasure than this." He looked at the lush mountains behind him, pointed to the opposite Wan Li, the mighty river and the sail mast on the Xiang River, and said, "Here is the' Pearl' highland. Can rest in peace here, it is' heaven does the will, ants follow the will of heaven', and later generations will surely be brilliant, and they will be promoted to the rank of official! There is no need to choose another one. " After hearing this, the family felt very reasonable and buried him on the spot. It is said that since then, his family and future generations have all gone well and smoothly. This little folk story about Daoyuan Pavilion is full of words and words, and every sentence is reasonable, which proves that "there must be a good man in heaven."
Walking down the original pavilion, we paid a visit to the "Zhou Lian Creek Temple". It is a single-entry arcade temple with a total area of 158 square meters, with carved beams and painted buildings as a whole. Entering the Zhou Lian Creek Temple, three statues are enshrined in the temple, which are lifelike and solemn. In the middle is Confucius (551- 479 BC), with the inscription "A model for all generations" on the wooden tablet above and the red silk embroidered word "Learn to be an excellent scholar" on the bottom; On the left is Zhou Wengong, that is, Zhou Lian Creek (117-173 AD), with the inscription "Master of Mathematics and Physics" on the wooden plaque above and the word "Kejia Jidi" embroidered on red silk; On the right is Zhu Wengong, that is, Zhu Xi (113-12 AD), with the inscription "Division of Neo-Confucianism" on the wooden tablet above and the words "to be no.1" embroidered on red silk under it. In this regard, I am puzzled. Why is Confucius in the middle, not the Confucius Temple in Zhong Ni, but the Zhou Lian Creek Temple? In ancient China, there was a strict distinction. Not to mention the ancestral temple, as far as the ancient court of China is concerned, this is the place where officials of civil and military affairs hold court to discuss state affairs, because there is a saying that "civil servants write to secure the world, and military officers mount a horse and decide to do it"! Therefore, it must be "Donghuamen civil servants go, Xihuamen military officers go"; Standing in the class is also based on the emperor's "sitting north facing south", and the literary style is left and right, and the literary style is big and small. Although the three statues in the "Zhou Lian Creek Temple" were all made by literate students, they can't be like this. With this question, I asked the administrator of the temple, and he told me that there was no statue of Confucius here, which was moved here from Jingcheng, the old county town of Nanjing, during the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing Jingcheng was bombed twice by Japanese planes, once at 8 am on May 7, 1939 and once on April 26, 194. In the second air raid, the Japanese plane dispatched four planes and dropped two bombs, one of which landed in front of the Chenghuang Temple, destroying the Wang Ancestral Hall and six houses. The statue of Confucius was also rediscovered at that time and moved here. Confucius is a master of Chinese culture and thought, the founder of Confucianism, and has the title of "a model for all generations", so it is natural to be in the middle, so he put the statue of Zhou Wengong in a big position on the left, but the name of the temple remains the same, or "Zhou Lian Creek Temple". I didn't understand the reason until I heard it.
Daoyuan Pavilion and Zhou Lian Xici are located in Shangzhai Village, Jingcheng Town, which is well-known for its legendary story of "seven sons and five successful candidates". According to the Records of Nanjing County (Qingganlong Edition), "The temple is surrounded by five peaks of the round mountain, and the big hat of the second place is the fence. The mountains are like a star arch, and the bright lights are like a torch. Since then, there have been many subjects in the ground." The "Congtan" in Volume 28 of Nanjing County Records (the manuscript of the Republic of China) records that "Ming Yongle Xin Mao (AD 1411), seven students from the city went to the province to try, and five people were recommended: Li Zhen, Lai Qing, Jiang Cheng, Zhang Ji and Lu Run." Therefore, the earliest entrance to the Department was in the year of Xin Mao, Yongle, Ming Dynasty. At that time, seven people went to the province to try, and five of them were among them. In the 13th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (AD 1415), Jiang Cheng (Yanta people) became a scholar again. In the same year, Li Zhen won the second place again, ranking second in the first place, and was awarded the editing of the Hanlin Academy.
According to Volume 14 (Qing Wu Ke) of the Annals of Nanjing County, a manuscript of the Republic of China, "Wu Xizhang, Gan Long Yi Wei (1775), was appointed as a bodyguard." This champion Wu is also a native of Shangzhai Village, Jingcheng Town, and once served as a bodyguard of Qianlong Imperial Command. It is said that there was also a short story in palace examination: perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, perhaps because of the nervousness, he suddenly dropped his hand while dancing a 12-catty broadsword. In such a hurry, he made a hook action with his right foot, took the broadsword back, then threw it up, caught it with his hands, formed a cross-knife posture immediately, and then waved it with an easy grace ... The whole round was really cool and heroic, commanding and didn't leak. When Emperor Qianlong saw it, he was very pleased and asked what his moves were. Wu Xizhang used his quick wits and quickly replied, "Kuixing kicks the bucket." So, he was hand-picked by Emperor Qianlong as the first champion of the First Armour, awarded the official position of the Imperial Guard, and was awarded four titles of Wude Riding Commandant.
Then, we boarded the Chongshengmen Gate and looked around. The Xiang River Diversion Hub project in the east made part of the water flowing slowly eastward go to the west, making Daoyuan Pavilion a small island surrounded by water on three sides, even on four sides (when the water is heavy). From a height, the lush Daoyuan Pavilion became a round "pearl" protruding from the water. What's more, there is a popular saying among the people in the "Pearl" area that "Baozhu is full of vitality, and seven sons and five students are admitted to the subject". Therefore, the good name of "Baozhuyan" is naturally formed.
It shows that Baozhuyan area is not only a good place for sightseeing, but also a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were five juren, one scholar and two champions in history. Among them, the champion is still a skill!
There is an ancient wisdom saying that "the land is blessed and the people live in it". It seems that people should choose a place that is suitable for living and working if they want to start a business and recuperate. The so-called "those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to Mo are black" is also the same. Think about it: People are working hard for a better tomorrow and a bright future, so who else is not striving for progress?
