I have been to Yunnan once, many years ago. In my impression, it was 2001. At that time, a family of three signed up for a boutique tour group, 15,000 yuan per person, and visited Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Jiuxiang. That's my family plan, a trip every year. The wind, flowers, snow and moon of Dianchi Lake in Kunming, the ancient city of Dali, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the underground river cave in Jiuxiang are still impressive.


I like to play games, but I only play single-player games, especially the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series. There are seven or eight episodes in my impression, and many of them mention the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom, a mysterious country. I really want to see the beauty.


This is the second time to go to Yunnan, and the destination of this trip is the southeast line of Yunnan.

I simply packed my luggage at home and set off, a group of six people.

Flew to Kunming, Yunnan, and picked up the rental car at the airport.

After three hours, drive to Mengzi, the capital of Honghe Autonomous Prefecture.


D2


Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture is located in the southeast of Yunnan Province, China. It has Mengzi, the political, economic, military, and cultural center of southern Yunnan, Gejiu, the world's tin capital, and Jianshui, a national historical and cultural city; the document name is Bang Shiping; there are Hekou and Jinshui There are two state-level ports on the river; there are tin culture, ceramic culture and terraced field culture.

National Southwest Associated University

Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, teachers and students in several prestigious schools have struggled.

Sanlu moved to school

After a long journey of 68 days, a long march of literati was completed.

Southwest Associated University is a unique miracle in the history of Chinese education and a world-class university that we once had.

I also saw Mr. Wang Zengqi from Gaoyou.

Wang Zengqi (March 5, 1920-May 16, 1997), born in Gaoyou, Jiangsu, is a representative figure of contemporary Chinese writers, essayists, dramatists, and Beijing School writers. Known as "a lyrical humanitarian, the last pure literati in China, and the last scholar-bureaucrat in China." Wang Zengqi has made considerable achievements in writing short stories, and has also studied drama and folk literature in depth. Works include "Being Precepted", "Supper Flower Collection", "Passing Water", "Wan Cui Wen Tan" and so on. In the autumn of 1935, Wang Zengqi graduated from junior high school and was admitted to Nanjing Middle School in Jiangyin County to study high school. In the summer of 1939, he traveled from Shanghai to Kunming via Hong Kong and Vietnam, and was admitted to the Department of Chinese Literature of Southwest Associated University as his first choice. In 1950, he served as the editor of "Beijing Literature and Art" sponsored by the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles. In the winter of 1961, he wrote "One Night in Yangshe" with a brush. In 1963, the published "Night in the Sheep Shed" was officially published. In January 1981, "Different Bing" was published in "Yuhua". In December 1996, he was elected as a consultant at the Fifth National Congress of the Chinese Writers Association.

It can be seen from the inscription that a large number of intellectuals at that time were unwilling to give in and determined to learn, creating a phenomenon of various disciplines shining like stars, which provided inexhaustible nutrients for the survival and development of Chinese humanities during the war, and Southwest Associated University has also become an inheritance. An important position for Chinese culture and the display of national spirit.

The Spirit of the General Assembly

Stick to the cultural position under extremely harsh conditions, and continue the story of the thousand-year-old string song in the Chinese context.

"Fortitude and Perseverance" is the school motto of the United Nations University

National Southwest Associated University is a comprehensive university relocated to Kunming after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War in China. On November 1, 1937, the National Changsha Temporary University established in Changsha by National Peking University, National Tsinghua University, and private Nankai University opened in Changsha (this day also became the anniversary of Southwest Associated University). As Changsha was repeatedly bombed by Japanese planes, in mid-February 1938, with the approval of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, Changsha Temporary University moved westward to Kunming in three routes. In April 1938, it was renamed National Southwest Associated University. [1] From August 1937, when the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China decided to establish the National Changsha Temporary University, to July 31, 1946, when the National Southwest Associated University ceased to operate, the Southwest Associated University existed for 8 years and 11 months. Establishing the scale of academic freedom and the title of foreign democratic fortress", preserved the important scientific research strength during the Anti-Japanese War, cultivated a large number of outstanding talents with outstanding achievements, and made outstanding contributions to the development and progress of China and the world.

For dinner, I drove around a lot, and finally enjoyed it at this restaurant called Yipian Hongtu. I ordered a few unknown dishes, of course some were delicious and some were not used to, but I was very happy to eat.

The accommodation is just near the Honghe Stadium. The night before yesterday, I went for a walk while looking for a place for breakfast.

Jinhuayuan Mengzi Bridge Rice Noodles

Authentic Yunnan bridge rice noodles, 30 yuan a piece, directly overturned the previous impression of cross bridge rice noodles. What you eat is not breakfast, but culture and taste. Nearly 30 small dishes can be heated in soup bowls at will. The taste is unique and delicious. Fa Xinqi, not only satisfies the eyes, but also satisfies the appetite. Apart from surprises, it is very enjoyable.

The bowl is a very large sea bowl, a bit like a hot pot. There are many and clean cups and saucers. The meat and vegetables are well matched. You can choose thick and thin rice noodles, and there is no limit. Eat carefully and slowly, for fear of breaking the mood. Such delicious food will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

After the meal, we came to Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces.

Although the angles are different and the seasons are different, you can still feel the charm of the terraced fields.

Yuanyang Terraced Fields is a masterpiece left by the Hani people from generation to generation

Hani Rice Terrace Cultural Landscape Exhibition at the Visitor Center

The terraces cultivated by the Hani people in Yuanyang vary with the terrain of the mountains. Large fields are reclaimed on gentle slopes; As big as a dustpan, there are often tens of thousands of acres on one slope.

The terraced fields are landscape and pastoral paintings that have been "sculpted" by the Hani people for more than 1,300 years.

Yuanyang Terraced Fields is the core area of ​​Honghe Hani Terraced Fields. The Honghe Hani Terraced Fields is a spectacle of terraced farming civilization jointly created by the people of various ethnic groups, mainly the Hani nationality, using the special geographical climate. It is grand in scale and magnificent.

Qingkou Ancient Village

The whole village is Hani

The water mill drives the water wheel according to the hydraulic power, and then brings it to the millstone to rotate. It's just that the water has dried up at this time.


The three pictures are a complete set of institutions. Water mills, water mills, and water hammers are common here.

This earthen wall should be handmade, strong and ancient.

This little friend showed me the way, I said to take a picture of him, and then he asked me for money, but I was a long way from the car, and I didn’t have any money on me, and he didn’t seem to understand what he was saying , had to flee in a panic.


In the evening, the car arrived at Jianshui. However, the section of G245 is really not easy to walk, the road is winding and uneven, but the magnificent scenery along the Red River is indeed a feast for the eyes.


Jianshui was called Butou in ancient times, also known as Badian. Huili City was built during the Nanzhao period of the Tang Dynasty, which is translated as "Jian Shui" in Chinese, and it belongs to the Tonghai Dudu Mansion. During the Dali Kingdom of the Song Dynasty, it belonged to the Abai Department of Xiushan County. In the Yuan Dynasty, Shuizhou was built, and in the Ming Dynasty it was called Lin'an Mansion. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Shuizhou was rebuilt as Jianshui County. With a history of 3,400 years, she enjoys the reputation of "a famous country in literature" and "Zoulu in southern Yunnan".

Nanzhao Kingdom (738-902), the name of the ancient country, originated from its predecessor "Mengshe Zhao", which was named Nanzhao because it was located in the south of the Six Zhaos. It is an ancient kingdom that rose in the Yunnan area in the eighth century. It was established in the twenty-sixth year of Tang Kaiyuan (738) by Piluoge, the leader of the Mengshe tribe. In the second year of Tianfu (902), Zheng Maisi, a descendant of Zheng Hui from the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Nanzhao, established himself as king, and established the "Great Changhe" state. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were six relatively powerful small countries in the Erhai region, each of which was ruled by six kings. They were called the Six Edicts, namely: Mengxuan Edict, Yuexi Edict, Langqiong Edict, Bingyi Edict, and Shi Lang Edict , Mengshezhao. Mengshezhao is in the south of Zhuzhao, called "Nanzhao". With the support of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao successively conquered the various tribes in the Xi'er River area, destroyed the other five imperial edicts, and unified the Erhai area. In 784 A.D., Yimouxun changed the name of the country to "Dali" (there is also a saying that "Yimuxun first established, and changed the name of the country to 'Daliyun'); in 794, Yimouxun returned to Tang, and changed the name of the country to "Nanzhao" In 860, Shilong rebelled against the Tang Dynasty again and changed the name of the country to "Dali". In 878, Longshun changed the name of the country to "Dafengmin" until it perished.

The weather here is later than in Jiangsu. I checked the map, and according to the longitude, it should be about two hours later. It was six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was still bright.

Stay in this house called Lin'an Story. Jianshui was called Lin'an in ancient times, but it was renamed Jianshui in 1914 because it had the same name as Lin'an, Zhejiang.

After a sumptuous dinner, visit the night view of Jianshui Ancient City. This is the Yinghui Gate of the ancient city of Jianshui, which is mighty and majestic. On the "Chaoyang Building" on the top is "Xiongzhen Southeast", and on the back is "Jinxia Liuyun". The building was built 28 years earlier than Tiananmen Square in Beijing. The architectural style is The combination of Yuan Dynasty architecture and Ming Dynasty architecture, the scenic spot is located in the center of the ancient city, facing east from west, and was originally a military fortification in the east of Lin'anwei in the Ming Dynasty. Chaoyang Tower is a treasure of ancient architecture, and the first floor of Dianfu is a symbol of Jianshui, a famous historical and cultural city in China.

Zhu Chaoying, the owner of Zhu's Garden, wrote a rich and colorful stroke in the Lin'an Anti-Qing Uprising of 1911. I also saw a group of traditional dwellings in the Ming Dynasty, such as Sun's Garden, Liu's Courtyard, and Sun's Famous House, which reflected the economic and social life at that time, and precipitated the prosperity of the old street.

This is also the Hanlin Mansion on Hanlin Street, "three generals come from one door".

The whole wood carving, like a dragon or an elephant, is exquisite and shocking!

There are folk customs in southern Yunnan everywhere, with exquisite architecture, beautiful patterns, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, which are amazing.

"Two locks and keys". The key refers to a very important place in the military. Jianshui was the seat of Lin'an Mansion in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was the political, economic and cultural center of southern Yunnan. At the same time, it was also an important military town in southern Yunnan.


Because of my fast pace and my greed for beautiful scenery, I ran away from the crowd. I also ran alone on Chaoyang South Street, North Street, Didi Temple Street, Jiaoguatang Street, Taishi Street, Mashi Street, and Randengsi Street. , Guandi Temple Street, Yongning Street, Nanzheng Street and Beizheng Street, etc.

For breakfast, I was attracted by the signboard of "Food on the Bite of the Tongue" hanging on Hongjing Street, and I ate a braised pig's trotter rice noodle.

Confucius Square

After admiring the Tianjun Temple, we came to the Yunnan Admiral's Academic and Political Examination Shed. Inside is the Qinggong Exhibition Hall of the Study Room.

"Gongshengming" archway

Jianshui Confucian Temple, one of the top ten Confucian temples in China. The picture shows the solemn "Taihe Yuanqi" archway at the entrance. The archway has a structure of three couplets, and the middle one is about nine meters high.

Built from the Yuan Dynasty to the 22nd year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1285), it has a history of more than 700 years. After more than 50 expansions and repairs, it covers an area of ​​76,000 square meters, ranking first among the large Confucian temples in the country. In order to imitate the pattern of Qufu Confucian Temple, there are 1 hall, 2 verandahs, 2 halls, 2 pavilions, 5 shrines, and 8 workshops. It is a group of large-scale buildings.

Confucius icon

Xuehai, also known as Panchi. The blue waves in the pond are rippling, the lotus is dotted, and the willow silk is blowing around.

Limen

"Zhu Siyuan Yuan", on the back is "Grandmaster of All Ages". "Zhusi" refers to the two rivers "Zhushui" and "Sishui" in Confucius' hometown, and Confucius was born at the confluence of these two rivers. The implication of "Zhusi Yuanyuan" means that Confucianism has a long history. This archway was built in the forty-three years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1778). It is a typical ancient archway building with five bays and three doors. Covering an area of ​​180 square meters, it is carved with huge dragons, lins, lions, elephants, and exquisite bucket arches. It is a masterpiece that integrates architectural art and nature.

At the back of the archway, there are four archways with brick bases and civil roofs, each nine meters high, in the east-west direction of the archway. They are respectively inscribed with "virtue match heaven and earth", "dao crown ancient and modern", "sanctuary Yuzi" and "Xianguan near Yang".

The Lingxing Gate is an archway-style wooden building on the central axis of the Confucian Temple. According to ancient legends, Ling Xing is a star in the sky, so naming it means that Confucius descended to earth for the stars in the sky. It symbolizes that Confucius can be compared with Tianzhenxing, who educates and educates talents in the sky.

In the apricot altar, there is a stone tablet of "Swen is here, a teacher of ancient and modern times". Surrounded by ancient cypresses, it looks solemn and majestic.

Dacheng Gate is a beam-lifting building with a single eaves and a mountain top. Dacheng means that Confucian thought collects the avenues of ancient sages in order to achieve one's own holiness.

The 22 lattice doors on the front are carved with birds and beasts, which are hollowed out and three-dimensional, with different shapes.

The Dacheng Hall is supported by 28 pillars. The 12 trees on the front eaves are stone pillars, each 5 meters high and weighing 5,000 kilograms, carved from a whole piece of large bluestone. On the left and right of the gate, there are two eaves pillars carved with giant dragons, which are called "stone dragon holding pillars".

There is Sile Pavilion in Xuehai, and the island embankments are connected by a three-hole stone bridge.

In the Confucian Temple, I also bought a pottery cup for the office. Because my previous drinking cup was a Yixing Zisha cup, a square-bottomed cup made by a famous artist, I don’t know who took it away.


Leaving Jianshui, drive a long distance, pass through Yuxi, and arrive at Kunming.

Kunming is a famous national historical and cultural city. As early as 30,000 years ago, humans lived and multiplied around Dianchi Lake; in 278 BC, the Dian Kingdom was established and its capital was established here; in 765, the Nanzhao Kingdom built and expanded the eastern city, which was the beginning of Kunming's construction ; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty established its capital in Kunming. Kunming has a northern subtropical low-latitude plateau mountainous monsoon climate. It is a mountainous landform, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and bordering Dianchi Lake on the south.


The Golden Temple is located at the foot of Mingfeng Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Kunming City. It is named because the main hall is made of brass. Under the sunlight, it shines brightly, reflecting the golden light of the green valley and secluded forest, so it is named, also known as Tongwa Temple. The prestigious Golden Palace is part of the Taoist Taihe Palace, which was built in the Ming Dynasty (1602). It is one of the four largest bronze palaces in China and is the best preserved. In the tenth year of Kangxi (AD 1671), Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, rebuilt it and has a long history. The Kunming Golden Palace has experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs, and it has a mottled and simple state, but it is more complete than the Golden Palace in the Longevity Hill of the Summer Palace in Beijing; it is larger than the Golden Palace in Wudang Mountain in Hubei. The Golden Palace is the largest existing pure copper in my country. cast hall.

The archway at the entrance to the north gate of the Golden Palace has a structure of three couplets, and the decoration is a bit hidden.

It has three floors, 36 corners, and a glazed roof, about 30 meters high.

A large copper bell hangs on the third floor of the Golden Palace, 2.1 meters high, 6.7 meters in diameter and 6.7 meters in circumference, 15 centimeters in thickness and 14 tons in weight. It is the third largest bronze bell in China. The bell is cast with the words "Daming Yongle was 21 years old on the auspicious day of Guimao Zhongchun", which was cast in 1423 AD. This bell was originally hung in the Xuanhua Building (nearly southwest of the building) in Kunming, and was moved to Guzhuan Park when the Xuanhua Building was demolished. In order to protect this cultural relic, the government moved the clock to the Golden Palace and allocated funds to build the clock tower in 1983.

On the second floor wall hangs the legend of casting bells during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

Walking through the historical and cultural scenery gallery, you can see the introduction of various materials about Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan.

At that time, Wu Sangui, because of his meritorious service in leading Qing soldiers into the pass, the Qing government broke the rule that different surnames are not named kings, and named Wu Sangui the king of Pingxi. "The six armies are mourning, and the crown is angry, and they are beautiful." Wu Sangui left many legends about him and Chen Yuanyuan in the Yunnan Golden Palace Scenic Area located at the foot of Mingfeng Mountain in the east of Kunming City. Here, the Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan exhibition hall is specially listed and opened, using the form of large-scale comic strips, simulating the love past of Pingxi king Wu Sangui and Gusu beauty Chen Yuanyuan. In the garden and in the lake, there are stone-carved poems of Chen Yuanyuan and a gentle and quiet statue of Chen Yuanyuan with fluttering clothes.

"You don't have to go to Dianchi Lake, but you have to come to the Golden Palace", this is the charm of the Golden Palace. The Golden Palace is the main building of the scenic area. It is a square building with double eaves and flying pavilions imitating wood structure. All the components of the temple are made of copper, with a total consumption of 250 tons of copper. It is the largest pure copper building in my country. The bronze cast of Emperor Zhenwu enshrined in the Golden Hall is very conspicuous. The legendary Emperor Zhenwu is the son of Pangu, who served as the third emperor of heaven after the abdication of the Jade Emperor. He had two emperors, Yan and Huang, and was born as Fuxi. The Zhenwu Emperor enshrined in the temple is generally disheveled and barefoot, sitting on the top of the hall, and there are two generals, turtle and snake, or golden boy and jade girl beside him. It is said that the former is the guardian god, and the latter records the good and evil deeds and deeds in the Three Realms for Zhenwu. However, the Zhenwu Emperor in the Golden Palace of Kunming is different. According to folklore, he looks like Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, which shows his ambition to become emperor.


Speaking of Wu Sangui, he also has a relationship with Gaoyou, Jiangsu. The stone lock he used to practice is still preserved in Lu'an Village in Jieshou.


Wu Sangui (1612-1678), courtesy name Changbo. Han nationality, born in Jinzhou, Liaodong, in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. His ancestral home was Lu'an Village, Jieshou Town, Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province. He was about 1.73 meters tall. . In the last years of Tomorrow Qi, he led more than 20 famous scholars Ding to save his father among the 40,000 Manchurians. His acts of filial piety and bravery were known all over the world. He once stayed in Beijing for a short time and got to know famous officials, officials and literati. Wu Weiye called him "the youngest boy in the world". In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), Huang Taiji launched the Battle of Dalinghe. Wu Xiang fled when he went to aid, resulting in the destruction of the entire army. Military officer, guarding Shanhai Pass. According to historical records, Wu Sangui's troops were "courageous and courageous, and their morale was boosted." It was the last effective iron cavalry unit in the late Ming Dynasty.

Wu Sangui is a lucky one. History has given him all kinds of opportunities, and he has seized them without hesitation, and achieved his goal as he wished. Status, honor, money, beautiful women, everything. He was a figure with all kinds of contradictions during the Ming and Qing dynasties. At the same time, Wu Sangui was as long-lasting, prominent, changeable, and eye-catching as Wu Sangui. There is really no other person.
In the twelfth year of Kangxi, he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and became the king of Zhou. In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, he proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou, Hunan. He himself also began to grow his hair and changed to Ming Dynasty clothes. In the autumn of the same year, he died of illness in Changsha. His grandson Wu Shifan succeeded to the throne and retreated to Yunnan. In the 20th year of Kangxi's reign, Kunming was besieged, Wu Shifan committed suicide, and the rest surrendered. Wu Sangui's descendants were completely killed. including swaddled babies.
Wu Sangui was originally the son of the Great Zhou Emperor, but he was the one who laid down half of the Qing Dynasty, the one who dared to lose the country for love, and the one who killed Li Zicheng, a generation of heroes. Many tragedies and helplessness have created his colorful, complex and changeable life character: not only has the true feelings of "becoming a beauty in anger"; He had no faith, served the Ming and betrayed the Ming, united and broke through, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and opposed the Qing Dynasty... The good and evil in life all burst out from him... However, as one of the legendary figures in history, Wu Sangui lived in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. But it is the most critical bargaining chip on the stage of history. It has influenced the historical trend at that time. Therefore, later generations' evaluation of it is mostly mixed, both positive and negative. It is difficult to outline his own character and the bizarre and dizzying life changes he deduces.
