The third strange place in Guiyang, three humanistic classics

The third strange place in Guiyang, three humanistic classics

There are the well-known Jiaxiu Tower, Wenchang Pavilion, and Yangming Temple. These three places focus on the classics of ancient humanities in Guizhou. There are few people who come to see the "exquisite science", "prosperous culture", and "unity of knowledge and action". Is it because all living beings are ignorant and unable to act, knowing but unable to act, or lack of operation? How can we implant the admiration and inheritance of fine culture and civilization into the blood, and how can we make the humanistic and classical landscapes warm the soul like faint music? Worth pondering.

According to insiders, a certain state is now engaged in global tourism, so that every state has tourist attractions. As far as I know, a certain state or a certain city of Yangzhou travel friends Ju, come to Guangzhou several times a year to promote tourism projects, and give back to the old Cantonese Discounts on tickets and other aspects, donkey friend Ju’s approach is very successful. You can see that the Guizhou-Guangzhou high-speed railway has 38 direct trains to Mouyang every day. It is still difficult to buy tickets during good times, and the fare has risen from more than 280 yuan last year to 323 Yuan, almost all the cars are in Cantonese.

I have been to Xingyang many times, but I have never checked in the scenic spots in the city. This time I have seen a few historic sites seriously.

That night, I asked the front desk of the hotel, is the night view of Jiaxiu Tower beautiful? She said you will know when you go, and told us how to get there.

Out of the hotel, turn left, cross the road, turn right... Anyway, I asked people at every intersection, and after walking for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the square with twinkling lights. This is Jiaxiu Tower.

Jiaxiu Tower is a landmark building in Guiyang. It is one of the must-see places for every tourist to Guiyang. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is a three-story wooden attic. It is located on the Nanming River in the south of Guiyang City. It is a huge stone in the river. Built for the foundation. The name "Jiaxiu" actually means that Kejia is upright and talented, and it is also the "city emblem" and symbol of Guiyang.

Throughout the ages, all dynasties, from emperors and princes to state officials, all like to build pavilions in scenic spots and river banks. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiaxiu Tower has been a gathering place for literati and poets, and there are many inscriptions by high-level scholars. In the collection of ancient authentic stone carvings, wooden dishes, and famous calligraphy and painting works in the building, the 206-character long couplet written by Liu Yushan, Guiyang Hanlin in the Qing Dynasty is a masterpiece, which is 26 more than the long couplet of Kunming Sun Ranxi Grand View Building, which is known as the world's first long couplet. words.

Jiaxiu Building is divided into three parts: the first part is Fuyu Bridge; the second part is the main building of Jiaxiu Building; the third part is Cuiwei Garden. Jiaxiu Tower is a three-story, three-eaves and four-corner attic with a pointed roof. This structure is unique in the history of ancient Chinese architecture.

Jiaxiu Tower and "Fuyu Bridge" connect the two banks. There is a small pavilion on the bridge called "Hanbi Pavilion", which is also unique under the night lights. There are also couplets on both sides of the pavilion: "The silver man floats in the sky and the stars cross the water, the jade rainbow drags the rain and the geese cross the autumn; the water comes out of the jasper ring, and people walk in the green lotus petals."

Fuyu Bridge is a stone bridge spanning the Nanming River, connecting the Stone and Wood Archway, Hanbi Pavilion, Jiaxiu Tower and Cuiwei Garden from north to south. The stone and wood archway is a three-door and four-pillar building with four big characters "Chengnan Shengji" on it, which is said to be a collection of Su Dongpo characters.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the lights on both sides of the Nanming River are bright, the buildings and the river are the same color, the lights and water colors complement each other, the shadows of people gather on the bridge, and the yacht floats in the heart. The music from the dance hall, like night fog, sprinkled on the blue wave drum tower. In Jiaxiu Tower at night, there is a beauty with make-up, which can be described as colorful, graceful and beautiful.

Nowadays, Mouyang is developing rapidly, and there are many high-rise buildings around it. Fortunately, Jiaxiu Tower is not submerged in the modern buildings, and the combination with it highlights the unique cultural and historical charm of Mouyang.

During the daytime the next day, I checked the Baidu map and found that Wenchang Pavilion was only 300 meters away from the hotel. I went out and walked five or six hundred meters, but I didn’t see any ancient buildings. On the stairs, the four corners of the pavilion are exposed. It is estimated that it is Wenchang Pavilion. When I asked a passerby, the person used the function of the mouth instead of the hand, and pushed the mouth to the opposite side: "opposite"! So when we crossed the road again, it was actually the place we just walked through. Dozens of stairs blocked our sight. There was a small square in the middle of the stairs. Dozens of uncles and aunts were playing square dances with powerful tape recorders.

Climbing up the stone steps, you can see half of Wenchang Pavilion, passing by a city wall, and some people are leaning or sleeping on the edge of the city wall. Then go down the stairs, pass through Wusheng Gate, and you will arrive at Wenchang Pavilion. You don't need to buy tickets, but you need to register your ID card to enter.

Wenchang Pavilion is a traditional sacrificial building in China. It has been built in many places, but the number of gods worshiped in Wenchang Pavilion varies from place to place. Generally speaking, Wenchang Pavilion is square, hexagonal, or octagonal, but Wenchang Pavilion in Guiyang is a nine-corner pavilion with a peculiar architectural style: the bottom floor of Wenchang Pavilion is square, and the second and third floors have 9 angles of varying degrees. ; Wenchang Pavilion has a total of 81 beams and 54 columns, all of which are multiples of 9; "Nine" in the Book of Changes means supremacy and represents a lofty status. In ancient times, scholars had to go to Wenchang Temple (or Confucian Temple) to worship before taking the exam, because Emperor Wenchang was in charge of scholars' fame and salary. If the cultural fortune in that place is not prosperous, a Wenchang Temple will be built to improve Fengshui; or where there are scholars who have passed the Zhongju or Zhongbang, a Wenchang Temple will also be built to show their aspirations.

You can't go up to the tower and look far away. A few stone tablets and a few hollow gaps on the city wall should be the observation port or the place where the guns were placed in ancient times, which is basically nothing to see.

After eating a bowl of Changwang noodles (noodles), continue walking to Yangming Temple.

(I ate sausage noodles)

Yangming Temple was built on the mountain (at the foot of Fufeng Mountain in the east of Guiyang City), and we went up a very high slope before arriving at the gate of Yangming Temple. Peeping from the outside, Yangming Temple doesn't seem to be very big. Only when you walk in, you will know that there is something special about it.

You can enter after registering your ID card. Enter the gate, walk up the stone steps, and the vision is opened up. Known as "No. 1 in Guizhou", Fufeng Mountain impresses the eye with its overwhelming posture. The mountain has a peculiar spiral shape, and some people call it "Screw Mountain". And the two big characters "Fufeng" that are close at hand quickly attracted our attention.

In fact, Fufeng refers to the Fufeng Temple on this mountain (the one on the top of the mountain is not open now). On the left side of the temple is the Yin Daozhen Temple, and on the right is the Yangming Temple commemorating the Ming Dynasty philosopher and thinker Wang Shouren.

Yangming Temple was built in the 19th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1814). Yangming Temple is the general term for three groups of ancient buildings, including Yangming Temple, Yin Daozhen Temple and Fufeng Temple. The three groups of ancient buildings together form the Fufeng Mountain Scenic Area with a quiet environment and beautiful scenery. Zheng Zhen, a great Southwestern scholar in the Qing Dynasty, once praised it as "a green hibiscus in the sky".

Fufeng Temple is the earliest built among the three groups of buildings. In the winter of the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong (1794), Wang Zhanen, the magistrate of Guizhu County, and He Mi and Zhai Xiang, who lived in the county, expanded the building on the basis of Qingshu Pavilion in Hehechuan. Because of the original temple on the site, the newly built temple is entrusted to the monks to take care of it, so people continue to call it a temple. The so-called convention is customary, but the world does not regard it as a Buddhist temple.

Yangming Temple is a ancestral hall built by later generations to commemorate the famous philosopher, military strategist and writer of the Ming Dynasty, the founder of Xinxue Wang Shouren (word Bo'an, name Yangming) (1472-1528). The halls and corridors of the ancestral temple are connected with verdant trees, quiet and pleasant, with many poems and inscriptions, and a collection of cultural relics, which are eye-catching.

Go through the Limen, continue to walk in, and pass through a long corridor, and you will come to the main building of Yangming Temple——Yangming Temple. To be precise, Yangming Temple is a small courtyard house, which consists of Xiangtang, Zhengqi Pavilion, Osmanthus Hall and corridors. Here, you can calm down and learn about Wang Yangming's life and academic achievements.

Here is a speech by someone who talked with teachers and students at Guizhou University in 2011, and spoke highly of Wang Yangming: "Wang Yangming has truly achieved the unity of knowledge and action throughout his life. He is not only a great philosopher and thinker, but also a great political leader. family, military strategist...".

To the left, through an arched door, you can see the stone carving "Mr. Yin Daozhen's Ancestral Hall" inlaid on the lintel. This is Yin Daozhen's Ancestral Hall. The terrain of the whole courtyard has different heights, the highest place is Yin Daozhen Xiangtang, behind the Xiangtang is Fufeng Mountain, the green hill is like a daisy, ancient and solemn. Yin Daozhen Temple is named after Yin Daozhen, who was one of the pioneers in education in Guizhou. In his early years, he studied in the Central Plains. He was a teacher of the famous scholar Xu Shen. After becoming famous, he never forgot his hometown, gave lectures on his hometown, benefited many people, and made great contributions to the promotion of cultural exchanges and popularization in the Central Plains and the southwestern border areas. Yin Daozhen Ancestral Hall was built in the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916). It is a quadrangle courtyard consisting of halls, verandahs, chambers, and theaters.

　　Interestingly, there is also a theater building in the courtyard of Mr. Yin Daozhen's ancestral hall. The plaque reads "Siqi", and there are many remaining wooden beams hanging on the wall directly below. Even after being crushed by the annual rings of history and the wind and rain of nature, these exquisite carvings still stand stubbornly for future generations to appreciate and caress. What I saw was that it seemed to be a store, and there were people playing chess there.

In Yangming Temple, there are verdant trees, root carvings and bonsai in various poses and with different expressions, the fragrance of osmanthus trees is overflowing, and there are many inscriptions. In the temple, there is a large statue of Mr. Wang Yangming carved in court clothes. The left and right walls of the temple are also embedded with woodcuts of Mr. Wang Yangming's "Four Articles of Trainers" and "Four Articles of Analects". Since the temple was built, literati and poets have sung praises, and there are many excellent works. As long as you are in it, you will be attracted by everything here. Verdant forests, winding paths and corridors, stone carvings, everything is so quiet and pleasant, people just want to walk briskly, talk softly, capture the beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see, and immerse themselves deeply in the In this strong historical and cultural atmosphere. If you have enough time, this is definitely a place where blockbuster films are produced, and it is worth seeing.

Among the three historic sites in Mouyang City, except for the night view of Jiaxiu Tower, there are only a little more tourists—twenty or thirty people, Wenchang Pavilion only has four or five people including the two of us, and there are no visitors to Yangming Temple. There are no more than ten people, and there is no flag for group tours at all. Compared with the crowded Huangguoshu Waterfall, Qikong, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village and other scenic spots, it is really deserted. Could it be that a certain Yang is trying to create minority culture and landscape culture, but does not need the influence of classical culture?
