Trees and steles

Tangyin, as the name of the county, has been called for about 2,300 years, which can be traced back to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. Further up from Han, most of what happened in this land has been obscured by the dust of history, but some are still faintly visible. During the Warring States Period, it was the place where the wind blew in the Book of Songs. In the Zhou Dynasty, it was the place where King Wen suffered. In the Shang Dynasty, it was the seat of the state prison. In the Xia Dynasty, only a legend about the dragon remained.

There should be a time-honored brand in the old place. A time-honored brand is like a good detail in a good novel, which can make an old place vivid and lasting. There are two time-honored brands in Tangyin, one is the Jinli City where "King Wen detains and plays Zhou Yi", and the other is the Temple of King Wu of Yuezhong. Today's Yili City has long been free of the bloody atmosphere of the Shang Dynasty state prison, with lush trees and short light and shadows. Wu Mu general Yue Fei is mighty in front of him, and he is also mighty behind him, the corridor pavilion in the temple is sparse, the stele stands in a forest, and there are 342 pieces of stele at present. When the tree grows upward, it grows immeasurable merits, and when the stele is planted downward, it is planted with lessons and commemorations. In August 2009, after visiting two time-honored brands, I wrote a smooth sentence: "The tree in front of Wenwang Hall, the monument in Wumu Courtyard." One side and one world, each with its own brilliance. ”

What we inherited from King Wen of Zhou

If you think about it, we have really inherited a lot of great inheritance from King Wen of Zhou.

The Book of Changes is one example, and the "Rites of Worship" is another. The Chinese do not have a native religion, but they cannot always worship ghosts and gods and stay away. With such a vast land and such a large population, how can we better govern it? Entering the religion with etiquette, governing the country with virtue, and maintaining the existence of the best with the harmony of people's hearts are the bold inventions of King Wen of Zhou. There are also the "Six Officials of Zhou Li" as the framework of the state apparatus. Since the Zhou Dynasty, the functional classification of the ** departments of the subsequent dynasties, including the functional settings of today's current state institutions, was born in the Zhou Dynasty.

King Wen of Zhou is the direct bloodline of the Yellow Emperor. According to the "Historical Records of Zhou Benji", Houji is after the Yellow Emperor, Houji is not a child, not a bow, a bow is born, and a prince is born Liu, and then the festival, Huang Pu, Chafu, ruined, Gongfei, Gao Yuan, Yayuan, Gong Shu Zu, until the ancient Gong Jia's father gave birth to Ji Li, Ji Li gave birth to Ji Chang, and Ji Chang was King Wen of Zhou. "Twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, fourteen people with their surnames" ("Historical Records of the Five Emperors"), it is rumored that the total number of sons of King Wen of Zhou is more than 100, but there are only 17 records, of which the eldest son, the second son, and the fourth son are the most famous. The eldest son is Bo Yi Kao, the one who was made into broth by King Shang when King Wen was trapped in the national prison of Yili City, and King Wen drank the broth in desperation and spit it out. So far, there is still a "Tu'er mound" in the city of Yili, Tu'er and rabbit homonym, businessmen who do rabbit meat do not go to Tangyin, there is only that place in the world to respect rabbits as sacred objects. The second son, Ji Fa, is King Wu of Zhou. The fourth son, Zhou Gongdan, is the chief designer of Zhou Li, "I Zhou Gong, as Zhou Li, has six officials, and has a political system" ("Three Character Classic"). The fief of the Duke of Zhou was in the Lu State, and the rules and etiquette system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the most appropriate to implement in the Lu State. In his early years, Confucius used to make "mutual courtesy" his profession, and until his later years, his core idea was still "self-denial and revenge".

King Wen of Zhou practiced gerontocracy, and it was very successful. King Wen was probably born in 1147 BC in Qixia (present-day Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). He was 45 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and at the age of 82, he was detained by the king of Shang and detained. "Sitting in the small window and reading the Book of Changes, I don't know how long the spring has gone. "Bagua refers to Qiankun Xun Zhenkan Ligendui, that is, heaven and earth, wind, thunder, water, volcano, and Ze, the ancients used these eight natural states to structure the world, which is the earliest cosmology of the Chinese and the great wisdom of China. King Wen of Zhou spent seven years repositioning and inheriting the innate gossip (Fuxi gossip), which was interpreted from the gossip to the sixty-four hexagrams. Confucius's evaluation of "Zhou Yi" is "clean and subtle, and the teaching of Yi is also", "clean and quiet" is calm-headed, and "subtle" is thoughtful. When a person reaches the age of 82, he still maintains such a vigorous and rigorous thinking ability, and he has to admit that he is blessed with a spirit in heaven. 90-year-old King Wen stepped out of prison, 93-year-old visited the virtuous minister Jiang Taigong, Jiang Taigong was 82 years old that year, two white-haired old men fluttered around the world, in today's vulgar saying, it is really "a beautiful landscape".

King Wen was 97 years old in a landslide, and he adhered to the Xibo position all his life, and he was not the king, "ruling by business" was his moral bottom line, and "King Wu's war" was the thing behind him. King Wen was the nickname given to him by King Wu Jifa, and he did not claim such a title during his lifetime.

The methods used by King Wen to get out of prison are also a "spiritual legacy" left to future generations. The king of Shang detained Xibo Jichang because he won the hearts of the people and was worried about the return of the people, just like Chiang Kai-shek's detention of Zhang Xueliang, who was also prepared to "not let go of the tiger" for the rest of his life. But King Wen is far more clever than Zhang Xueliang, and he exchanged the three magic weapons of beauty, treasure, and academic work (acting) for a free body. The word Taoguang Yanghui was used to the extreme by King Wen of Zhou.

Qing Huang Luping has a poem "Wen Wang Praise", which makes people feel unpleasant to read: "Be independent and not afraid, and open things to do business." The king's ministers stumbled and bowed. Use the shackles of talking and use the practitioners. First no and then happy, King Wen took it. Soft and smooth, with obscurity and clear. It is easy to be troubled. Because of the two Ji Xing, the love of the saint. With heaven and earth, great virtue is born. ”

The origin of the three hundred and sixty lines

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. Line is a profession and a type of work. The old saying is that there are meat shops, sauce shops, fish shops, iron shops, tea shops, medicine shops, paper shops, clothing shops, palace powder shops, and so on. The specific number of 360 lines is from "Six Officials of Zhou Li".

The six officials are the six settings of the ** institutions of the Zhou Dynasty, the heavenly official mound zai, the local official Situ, the spring official Zongbo, the summer official Sima, the autumn official Sikou, and the winter official Sikong. The institutions of the Tang Dynasty were set up as "three provinces and six departments", and the three provinces were Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province. The six departments are officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and are ruled by Shangshu Province.

Tianguan Tsukazai "governs the state and the state of the country", is a magistrate, and has 63 officials under his jurisdiction.

The local official Situ is "in charge of the state religion and the state of Fubang", and is an instructor with 78 officials under his jurisdiction.

Chunguan Zongbo "is in charge of the state ceremony, and the state", is a ceremonial official, with 70 officials under his jurisdiction.

Xia official Sima "is in charge of the state government, Ping Bangguo", is a political official, under the jurisdiction of 69 officials.

The autumn official is "in charge of the state ban", and is a criminal official, with 66 officials under his jurisdiction.

The winter official Sikong was an official, but the original text of Sikong was lost in the Han Dynasty, and it was later added with the "Examination of the Work Record", under the jurisdiction of 30 officials.

The combined number of the six officials is 376, and because there is no real test, the profession in the world is generally called 360 lines.

The change and immutability of "Yi".

Yi is a book about change and change.

None of the things and things in the world are unchanging, every one is changing, every moment is changing. We walk on the road, and with each step, the wind blowing on our bodies is different. We swim in the river, and each time we row forward, the water flowing through our bodies is different. It's that we're not there, and the wind and water are still there, enveloping and influencing people's lives. "Yi" tells us that in this world, every time is pushing the old, and every moment is new. This is called change.

Knowing that change is respecting nature. It is not enough to respect nature, but to find out the laws of change is to understand nature. It is the law that water flows to a low place, the alternation of day and night between heaven and earth is the law, and it is the law that a tree blooms in spring and autumn in a year, and the leaves grow and fall leaves. By comparing the laws of things with the laws of people and things, and doing this, it is called improving understanding. King Wen of Zhou's great achievement lies in using the entanglement between the eight natural states to find the law of change between heaven, earth, and things.

Another outstanding contribution of King Wen of Zhou is to show people that the principle that things are changing is unchanging. The Creator is the same. All changes operate on this unchanging basis.

Confucius's praise of Yi is "pure, quiet and subtle". The fear of "Yi" is that "it is lost, thief". I understand that there are two meanings, one is to study Yi on the right path, to be pure, and to apply what we have learned to the field of benefiting people and society. The second is to study "Yi" to take the big road, take a spacious road, and appreciate the meaning of "Yi". Only using "Yi" to ask for fortune and predict life is not to restore the glory of "Yi".

Yue Fei of both virtue and art

When King Wen of Zhou was born, a red bird landed on the roof, and his grandfather Gu Gong and his father saw it and thought that there was a "Shengrui". When Yue Fei was born, a big bird flew over the roof, and his father named him Yue Fei. This is the difference between the royal family and the ordinary people in terms of worldview.

Yue Fei has made great achievements in his life, served the country loyally, and is virtuous and artistic. In front of him is a generation of famous generals, behind him is the leader of the spirit of loyalty and filial piety, although there is no good death, but the aftermath is widely recovered. A song "Man Jianghong" made the people of later generations excited, and the sentence "Wenchen does not love money, Wuchen does not spare his life, and the world should be peaceful", which made the courtiers of later generations embarrassed. Qing He Jinshou "is Wen Naiwu" four big characters, so far high hanging Yue Fei Temple lintel.

Yue Fei Temple was built from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties repaired many times, the Qing Dynasty seems to pay more attention to some, the Qianlong Emperor sacrificed and swept once, saved a poem of "Jingwu Mu Temple", the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi respectively inscribed the plaque of "Hundred Battles Shenwei" and "Loyal Spirits". In 1932, Duan Guodong, then the magistrate of Tangyin County, proposed to rebuild, "those who are planted are planted, those who are lacking are finished, those who are decayed are strong, and those who are dark are chalky." The old Xiao'e Hall was destroyed by fire, and it was rebuilt as before." Since the establishment of Yue Fei Temple, the only large-scale man-made destruction has been the "*****" that began in 1966. "Under the slogan of 'breaking the four olds', the 'rebels' caused serious damage to the facilities of Yue Fei Temple. Yue Fei and other statues were pulled down; the bronze statue of Shi Quan was sent to the factory to be melted; five iron kneeling statues including Qin Hui were also sent for smelting; all plaques and couplets were removed; the glazed components on ancient buildings were destroyed; most of the monuments were overturned, and some were smashed. A certain 'rebel headquarters' was stationed in Yue Fei Temple. In 1969, the county cultural center and exhibition hall moved to Yue Fei Temple. In order to reduce the loss of cultural relics in Yue Fei Temple, the staff buried the scattered inscriptions in the ground, built the tall inscriptions and Qianlong imperial monuments in front of the main hall into a wall with bricks, wiped the wall, and wrote Mao's poems and 'revolutionary slogans'. The main hall and the dormitory were respectively held as "Lei Feng's deeds exhibition" and "agricultural exhibition". Xiao'e Ancestral Hall was changed to 'library', the Three Generations Ancestral Hall, Yue Yun Ancestral Hall, Sizi Ancestral Hall, Yue Ke Ancestral Hall, and Zhang Xian Ancestral Hall were changed into offices or staff living rooms, and the two wings of the main hall were made into 'class education exhibition rooms', imitating 104 clay sculpture figures in the form of Liu Wencai's rent collection institute in Sichuan. Yue Fei Temple has become unrecognizable since then. (Yue Fei Temple Chronicles)

In 1979, it began to be renovated and rebuilt, and because of the infiltration of various factors benefiting from tourist tickets, the scale and structure, including the motivation for construction, did not exceed the Ming and Qing dynasties. History is sobering, but by treating history with a pragmatic attitude, the function of waking up is compromised.
