On July 29th last year, after lunch, the group set out from Wan Hu, crossed Huang Fang, Wan Hu, went to Liuli Shangzhuang, and got off at a small forest not far from Liuli Yuetang. Then Mr. Wang Huaming from Jinxi County introduced that the grove in front of us is located in front of Yuetang, which is equivalent to the zhaobi of Yuetang. Yuetang was originally the site of Wang Anshi's ancestral grave. This is a land with excellent geomantic omen, and the mountainous terrain around it completely meets the standard of geomantic omen, that is, "there are hugs on both sides, supports on the back, photos in front and bubbles in the photos". Therefore, Wang Anshi's family was very prosperous in the Song Dynasty, especially Wang Anshi's official worship of the Prime Minister and the seal of Jing Guogong. "Yuetang Wang Family Genealogy" contains: "Mid-level Temple public pawn buried Zhongshan Sun. I went to Ming Taizu Ganling and asked,' Is the old man a grave?' The assistant minister said to him,' Shuikou is the tomb of Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and Fushan is the tomb of Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.' Taizu Nai said,' Sun Quan lives in Shuikou and stays for guarding the mausoleum. Wang Anshi can ask his descendants to be buried. "At that time, his son Wang Boan was ordered to move to the ancestral grave of Yuetang in Linchuan. "Later, the Wangs moved back to Jinxi Yuetang Zufen Mountain from Jinling with Wang Anshi's tomb and continued to be responsible for guarding the tomb. Therefore, there is a "Jinling Yanpai" gate in the village, and there is a "half-moon" pond in front of it, hence the name Yuetang. At the entrance of Yuetang Village, there is also a door workshop of "Guo Jing Shi Jia", which is simple in style and structure and has a very strong temperament characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.
Walking along the road to the village, there is a stone tablet at the foot of the road, engraved with the words "Xu Taibao Mountain Boundary". According to Mr. Wang Huaming, Xu Taibao was the second ranked Xu Qiong in the first year of Tianshun in the Ming Dynasty, the official prince of Taibao, and a great Geng in western Shanxi. Why is there Xu Jieshan near the village where Wang lives? "Yuetang Wang Genealogy" contains: "The ninth (Yuetang): Zhengsangong (orthographic school, ranking third) has the word Dexiang, and the hometown is a big guest. Xu cut down and washed the mountain, and the burial was exhausted. People sacrifice mountains to pay homage. Xu Gongdao:' Did the old man come to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestral home? "What are you going to say?" The duke said,' how dare you say that the former prime minister, Zuzhong, was attacked by the contemporary prime minister!' Xu was ashamed, so he stopped cutting. "This record is quite interesting. At that time, Xu Qiong, who was equivalent to the post of prime minister, saw that the mountains around Yuetang were very good, and relied on his power to dig the grave and ancestral grave of Wang Anshi, the former prime minister, and built his mother's grave. But Wang people had no choice but to swallow their words, and the baby was bitter in his heart, but he didn't say anything. From then on, Wang Anshi came to a bad end. At the same time, it also reflects from the side that Wang Anshi was still a typical figure of historical opposition at that time. The Ming Dynasty did not recognize his historical achievements, so he did not pay attention to his grave. Due to the destruction of Wang Anshi's tomb, the location of Wang Anshi's tomb has not been verified so far. In recent years, the Wangs of Yuetang had to rebuild the "Tomb of Wang Anshi, a famous figure in the Northern Song Dynasty" on the Gong Jing in front of Yuetang to comfort Gong Jing's spirit in heaven.
From the gate of Gong Jing aristocratic family, there are only a few ancient buildings in the village. Among them, next to an ancient Zhang Cun, there is a Wusheng Temple rebuilt in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, which is particularly conspicuous and the pedestal is beautifully carved. There is also a public inscription of the family on the wall, which reads: "My family has been at odds with the Xu family of Dageng for a long time. I read a few words from the ancestral home of Jiu Zude Xiang Zu, hoping to see that the forces were defeated and bullied by Xu that day. Duke Dexiang is really sad and has a dull pain. Today's children and grandchildren can't exhale with their predecessors, but they should also learn from their predecessors and not forget them. Xu had picked up more than ten acres of land and many green hills in the Tang Dynasty. The ancestors tasted swallowing tears to warn their children and listen to their nicknames. My descendants will never be allowed to take over the lease. Since it was a long time ago, we forgive some unscrupulous people who covet small profits, recite the teachings of their ancestors and think about being masters. This is resentment and hatred for their ancestors. The public discussion of all clans eliminated their family members and drove them out of the country. If there is partiality, the sin is only the monarch, so the clan will renew the old discussion and set up a monument in the temple to mourn future generations. May the children of the world live forever and never replace him. Patriarchs: Huinan, Cai Sheng, Zhancheng. * * * Discussion: Chun Qing, Yingshun, Shoushan, Mei Qing, Yuwen, Wei San, Nanshan, Curculigo, Pan Zhen. Daoguang is ugly in November when he is nine years old. " This is a precious historical material to study the feud of China's traditional family, and it also confirms the authenticity of Wang and Xu's feud recorded in Genealogy.
A few days ago, on April 28 of the lunar calendar, it began to rain in the shade. In the morning, Mr Xiaoyao invited him to visit Wang Anshi in Yuexitang, Jinxi, and then went to Yiyuetang. At 9 am, the author came to Yuetang Village, Liuli Township, Jinxi County. In early summer, the fields are green and birds are singing. In a short time, scholars such as Xiaoyi from Shanghai, Liu from Gaomi, Ceng Ming from Fengcheng and from Jinxi also came. Why do many scholars travel thousands of miles to Yuetang Wang's house? Because there is not only a local rumor that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Wang Anshi's descendants to move Wang Anshi's tomb from Nanjing to the ancestral grave of Wang Anshi's family in Yuetang, but also that Wang Anshi was born in Yuetang area, scholars have come to make field trips.
The group first visited the gate house of Jing's family. Because Song Shenzong named Wang Anshi Jing Gong, his family descendants called him Jing. Guo Jing aristocratic gatehouse is a three-bay porch structure on the hard top of the mountain. According to the orientation of geomantic omen, the gate faces southeast, and in front of it is a penholder-shaped mountain peak. There is an Anshiling near Yuetang, also named after Wang Anshi. Some scholars believe that the naming of Anshiling shows that future generations are rude. In ancient China, it was forbidden to call sages directly, such as "Guo Jingshi Jia" instead of "An Shiling Shi Jia", so An Shiling should come from the ignorance of later generations.
Subsequently, the group visited the Five Temples, the "Half Moon" Pool rebuilt in Guangxu for six years, and the Jinling Yanpai Gate House rebuilt in Daoguang for nine years. Jinling is another name for Nanjing. The Jinlingyan School said that King Yuetang may be a descendant of Wang Anshi who moved back to Yuetang with Wang Anshi's tomb and settled in Nanjing. "Place Names of Jinxi County" contains: "The Yuetang Wang family is in the ridge 7.5 kilometers southwest of Liuligang. 33 households, 162 people. & lt Wang's Clan Harmony > In the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1368- 1398), Wang (a descendant of Wang Anshi) was originally from Yanbuling, Ximen, Fuzhou, and moved to Luocheng. Because there is a pool like the moon in front of the village, it is named. " Luocheng is now Luocheng Village, Wan Hu Town, Jinxi County. In the 4th year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1244), Wang moved here from Yanbuling, Ximen, Fuzhou. This shows that Yuetang Wang did not move back from Nanjing, while Jinling Yan School may only show that there is a certain relationship between Yuetang Wang and Wang Anshi. Afterwards, the group went to Anshiling, Youyang for a field trip.
Finally, some scholars think that Yuetang is the birthplace of Wang Anshi and that Wang Anshi's tomb is moved back to Yuetang. It is recognized by historians that Wang Anshi was born in Qingjiang County, Linjiang Army in the fifth year of Song Tianxi (102 1). The latter, Wang Anshi, was buried in Yuetang, which remains to be verified. So far, the archaeological community has not found the specific burial place of Wang Anshi in Yuetang, which is just a story of Wang's genealogy. According to historical records about Wang Anshi's tomb, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was "the cemetery behind the Mid-Levels Garden (later changed to the Mid-Levels Temple)", and in the Yuan Dynasty, there was "the tomb of the king, named Anshi, Volume 12" and so on.
