"The green mountains are fortunate to bury loyal bones, and the innocent white iron casts sycophants!" This poem has always been recognized as the most vigilant of all the poems in front of Yue Fei's tomb. Among them, the loyal bones refer to the bones of Yue Fei, and the sycophants refer to the treacherous ministers Qin Hui, Zhang Jun, etc.
This is a pair of couplets on the tomb of Yue Fei. This pair of couplets personifies both Qingshan and Baitie.
According to Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Poetry Talk", he wrote, "The green mountains have the honor to bury loyal bones, and the white iron cast innocent ministers!" The person who wrote this poem is neither a great scholar who is famous all over the world, He was not an angry gangster fighting a bullfight, but a woman named Xu from Songjiang, Shanghai during the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, historical materials did not record her name, nor did they record the entire poem.
But this sentence alone is enough to last forever. This poem has always been recognized as the most vigilant of all the poems on Yue Fei's tomb.
For a long time, people did not know the details of this author, only that she was an unknown woman.
But whenever the mourners who come to Yue Fei's tomb read this poem, they can't help but try to imagine what kind of person this unknown woman was. After all, she was a lady in a red mansion who lived in the inner house. Or a virtuous housewife who takes care of her husband and raises her children? I wonder if there are any activities to commemorate her in her hometown now, because she is really a strange woman who should not be forgotten.
Qingshan was originally taboo on graves because it would harm the "feng shui", but the Lianzhong said that "Qingshan is lucky enough to bury loyal bones", which means that Qingshan was also moved by Yue Fei's loyal soul and would rather harm his feng shui. Let him rest here forever and be honored by it. Bai Tie is not guilty of any fault, but in order for people to condemn the traitor, he is willing to bear the humiliation and take on this responsibility.
Yue Fei was the main general who fought against the Jin soldiers in the early Southern Song Dynasty, but he was framed by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others for rebelling against the imperial court on "unfounded" charges, and was framed to death.
Before he was killed, Yue Fei wrote the eight characters "The sky is clear, the sky is clear" on his confession. After Yue Fei was killed, jailer Kai Shun risked his life by carrying Yue Fei's body across the city wall and buried him hastily next to the Jiuqucong Temple.
Two years later, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty ordered Yue Fei Zhaoxue, and offered a high price of 500 guan to retrieve Yue Fei's body. The body was moved and buried with a grand ceremony at the foot of Qixia Ridge, where Yue Fei's tomb is now located. ?
In the fourth year of Jiatai (1204), that is, 63 years after Yue Fei's death, the court posthumously named him King of E. The side hall, Qizhong Temple, was originally dedicated to Yue Fei's parents, but is now an exhibition room for Yue Fei's history of resisting the Jin Dynasty.
Extended information
Yue Fei’s tomb, also known as Yue Fei’s tomb. Located at the southern foot of Qixialing in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, it is the cemetery of Yue Fei, the king of E, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against the Jin Dynasty.
The Tomb of Yue Fei was built in the 14th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1221). It has been relatively well preserved through the dynasties. The architectural specifications were changed during the reconstruction in the 54th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1715 AD). In 1979, Yue Fei's tomb was completely renovated according to the architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty. The entire tomb is divided into three parts: the Martyrs' Shrine Area, the Cemetery Area, and the Qizhong Shrine Area. ?
Yue Fei’s tomb has great value in history, art and social cohesion. On March 4, 1961, Yue Fei's tomb was approved and announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
After Yue Fei was killed, jailer Kai Shunqian carried his body and buried it at the foot of Beishan. After Song Xiaozong came to the throne, he was reburied here with ceremony.
There is the "Jingzhong Bai Pavilion" at the entrance of the cemetery. On the north wall of the pavilion, there is a stone inscription "National Hero" written by Feng Yuxiang. Entering the cemetery gate, there are stele corridors on both sides, displaying 125 stone stele from past dynasties. The north corridor contains Yue Fei's poems, memorials and other handwritings; the south corridor contains inscriptions written by celebrities in the past dynasties and the Yue Temple was rebuilt several times.
The current Yue Fei tomb was designed in the Southern Song Dynasty architectural style when it was renovated in 1979. The stone tigers, stone sheep, stone horses and stone Wengzhong displayed on both sides of the tomb passage are relics of the Ming Dynasty.
There are four iron figures under the tomb gate, with their hands cut behind their backs and kneeling facing the tomb. They are Tai Hui, Wang, Zhang Jun and Wan Qimu who framed Yue Fei. There is a couplet on the tomb gate behind the kneeling statue: "The green mountains are fortunate to bury loyal bones, and the white iron casts innocent ministers."
