Chapter 374 Eastern Han Stone Temple
Mo Xie pushed a few boxes, the boxes were not heavy, if there was gold and silver inside, it would definitely not be so light. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Then don't move!" Zhang Lingyun smiled and simply stepped aside.
There are many treasures here, Mo Xie must not lie, if he lies, then it can only mean that the treasures in these boxes are more precious, but what other treasures are more valuable and precious than those they have found now?
Since there is none, then there is no need for Mo Xie to deceive people.
"So many boxes full of books? What a pity! The others didn't think much of it, so they all looked at the boxes with pity.
Paper books are naturally prone to damage, so they won't open them indiscriminately.
"Paper has a life span of thousands of years, can it really be preserved for so many years?"
"Definitely, you didn't see the box sealed so well!"
"Haha, you don't know, do you? I was able to detect it, and look, it was all wood fiber, and mothballs, quicklime, which were moisture-proof and insect-proof, and even the paper was chemically treated? It seems that the ancients really can't be underestimated! At this time, Zhang Fenglin took the mobile phone and turned it on.
"Don't scream, you kid!" Zhang Lingyun looked at Zhang Fenglin angrily, and when he said this, it seemed that he didn't trust Mo Xie so much.
"Our Zhang family has been able to pass on to the present, and it is naturally a poetry and book heirloom, and it is appropriate to collect so many books." Zhang Linghui said proudly.
"How many books do you need for this?" Zhang Fengfu looked at the copper boxes that were stacked up one by one, and said in amazement.
"Don't sigh at this, it should be your Zhang family's ancestral hall in front, but I didn't expect that there is actually an ancestral hall built underground!" At this time, Mo Xie reminded again.
"Ancestral Hall? How is it possible to build here? Are you afraid of being ruined? Zhang Fenglan said with a smile.
Mo Xie also smiled, the ancestral hall of the Zhang family really had to be hidden, otherwise, someone would really want to destroy them.
"The bow is strong, and the sky is thousands of miles away."
"What does this mean? How did you get such a couplet? ”
"What else does it mean, this couplet explains what Zhang is!"
"Zhang, cast the bowstring also, with the bow, long sound."
This is the origin of Zhang, Zhang's original meaning is "to make the bowstring", to stretch the string on the bow, will open the bow, as opposed to "relaxation".
By extension, it means to open the bow, wind, catch, stretch, etc.
Zhang is a primitive celestial totem worshipped by clans who excel in making bows and arrows, which in turn became clan names, place names, and surnames.
This couplet has a high use rate, and it can be said that it is a couplet that is widely engraved in the ancestral halls of the Zhang family in various places, and it interprets the close relationship between the Zhang family and the bow and arrow, and the Big Dipper.
The ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Hui, was called Tianlu, the son of Qingyang, and the inventor of the bow and arrow.
Bow and arrow can be a long-range killing tool (weapon), which has a great impact on the clan society, so the Yellow Emperor sealed the bow for the bow, and the bow and arrow were manufactured, and the bow was also taken to take the meaning of the bow chief, and the surname Zhang was given to Puyang, the fief Qinghe, and then died and was buried in Diqiu (now Puyang County, Henan Province).
"New Tang Dynasty Book: Prime Minister's Lineage Table": "The fifth son of the Yellow Emperor's son Shaohao Qingyang clan waved as a bow, started to make bows and arrows, and his descendants gave the surname Zhang. ”
In addition, Zhang, also the name of the star, belongs to the fifth of the seven Nakshatras of the Vermilion Bird, and the arrangement of celestial phenomena resembles a bow.
Although the surname Zhang is one of the ancient surnames in China, compared with Liu, Li, and Zhao, the three national surnames of the strong Han, Tang and Song dynasties, the population has always maintained a leading position, and now it ranks third, which has to be said to be a miracle.
The reason is worth studying, look at the first surname - the surname Li, there have been 6 regimes surnamed Li in history, more than 60 emperors, just one Tang Dynasty, ruled China for nearly 300 years, branched out, prosperous, descendants will be many.
The surname Zhang is an exception, although the surname Zhang has also had emperors in history and established "Qianliang" (one of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Wuhu), but because it is located in the northwest, the territory is narrow, and it is in the chaos of Wuhu, the survival time is very short, and there is almost no influence.
However, although Zhang is not a national surname, since the Han Dynasty, the surname Zhang has surged with talents, forming a famous family and family system, which has greatly increased the population with the same surname.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the surname Zhang was still a small surname, but in the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, the surname Zhang was born in large numbers, and its influence on the Han Dynasty and even Chinese culture can be said to be all-round.
For example, Zhang Liang, a politician and a Sanjie in the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian, a diplomat who sent an envoy to the Western Regions, Zhang Heng, an astronomer, Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, and Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Wudou Mijiao (Taoism......
Of course, the decline of the Han Dynasty was also in the hands of the surname Zhang, the "Yellow Turban Uprising" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the three brothers Zhang Jiao sounded the death knell of the Han Dynasty, and the later great eunuch Zhang Rang was even more of a disaster to the country and the people.
If you just look at the celebrities of the Zhang family later, his family's ancestral hall should be hidden here, if it is outside, it must have been burned.
Walking into the ancestral hall, I really saw a lot of celebrities, the most famous of which is, of course, Zhang Hui, the ancestor of the Zhang family, followed by Zhang Rang, and no one else knows, but in modern times, some familiar names have appeared.
These are the ancestors of the Zhang family of the last five generations, and their names are still recorded in the family tree, and they will be taken out every year to pay tribute!
"The last one is grandpa, grandpa didn't close his eyes before leaving, he was thinking about entering the ancestral hall!" Zhang Lingfeng looked sad and cried directly.
Although her grandfather was still young when he died, the memories left for her at that time were unforgettable, and it must be a pity that there was no her grandfather here.
"Don't be sad, we'll worship our ancestors when we go out this time, and just invite grandpa and them in when the time comes!" Zhang Lingyun said.
With this thought, Zhang Lingfeng was not sad, she was hugged by Lao Mo and walked into the ancestral hall of the Zhang family.
"This is a stone shrine?" As soon as he walked in, Zhang Fengguo said in surprise.
"Huh? Feng Guo has grown in? Tell me, what is a stone shrine? Zhang Lingfeng said.
Zhang Fengguo was stared at by everyone, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know, I just saw such an ancestral temple, I heard that it is a stone temple!" ”
"Are you talking about the Eastern Han Dynasty Stone Temple?" At this time, Mo Xie understood what Zhang Fengguo was talking about.
The stone temple of Xiaotang Mountain on the land of Qilu is world-famous, the stone temple of the Eastern Han Dynasty was built in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after two thousand years of history, the temple building outside the stone temple has already undergone several changes, but the stone temple is intact so far, it has also become the earliest existing ground house building in our country, as early as 1961, it was announced by the State Council as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country.
Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water" recorded: "There is a stone room on Wushan today, which is called the filial piety hall in the world."
The historical filial piety hall is famous, and the small hillside where the stone shrine is located is now called Xiaotang Mountain, and the town where it is located is called Xiao@li Town.
And who the owner of the stone shrine and the tomb behind the stone shrine is still a mystery that is difficult to solve.
However, the specifications of that ancestral hall cannot be compared with the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, but its main construction materials are the same, so Zhang Fengguo thought of the stone ancestral hall.
Although Zhang's ancestral hall is built underground, but the area is definitely not small, the ancestral hall sits in the west and faces east, it is a five-bay three-entry architectural style, which is well preserved.
The ancestral hall is 25 meters wide, 47 meters deep, the construction area is 1230 square meters, the front of the stone shrine is in the middle with an octagonal stone pillar of a big bucket, the stone shrine is divided into two, the triangular stone partition beam is placed between the octagonal pillar and the back gable, so that the stone shrine is seen as two rooms on the outside, and the inside is connected into a whole room form.
The walls of the stone shrine are all made of stone slabs about 0.2 meters thick, and the stone slabs on both sides of the roof are carved out of the shape of the back, the tile, the hook head, the rafter head, and the eaves, and the low stone platform in the east and west directions is arranged horizontally under the north wall of the stone shrine.
There are exquisite portraits carved on the stone wall and triangular stone beam in the ancestral hall, carved sages, model immortals, farming, well salt, travel map, car riding map, music and dance team, Baile hustle.
The composition and carving of the portrait have reached the peak of the Han Dynasty portrait stone art, and it can be said that it is the most complete and outstanding representative work of the Han Dynasty portrait stone.
The main building of this stone shrine is all in a huge cave, and it seems that this ancestral hall is almost filled with this cave, so it looks like it is connected to the cave, but it is not like this at all.
Although it is built underground, there are many themed buildings in the ancestral hall, and the main buildings are all hard mountain tops, with porcelain inlaid on the roof ridge and blue tile roofs.
The beams and columns, camel piers, melon pillars and other components in the house have wooden carvings and painted decorations such as figures, fish, flowers and birds, animals, aquariums, and Ganoderma lucidum.
The front appearance of the ancestral hall, in the middle is the concave gatehouse, and the front of the front banner is engraved with the words "Zhang's ancestral ancestral hall".
Mo Ye could see that the traces of continuous maintenance, especially the Cong Training Hall, were as good as new, it seemed that it had only been repaired recently, and in this underground, it was maintained a hundred years ago, and it also looked like it was newly built.
Therefore, even the carvings and paints of the beams, camels, melon pillars and other components in the house are brand new, the carvings on the top are meticulous, and the lacquer paintings are lifelike and colorful.
Such a classical building is rarely seen outside, even if Mo Ye and they saw some porcelain models of ancient garden pavilions before, they were still excited when they saw such a solemn ancestral hall built at this time.
Before and after the left and right first look at the whole picture, single eaves, hanging on the top of the mountain, two bays, a stone pillar in the middle of the front, the column head is a big bucket and the back wall between the partition beam stone.
There is also a stone pillar on both sides of the door, just the reinforcement measures taken by the descendants, it is said that it is the descendants, but one stands in the Tang Dynasty for five years, and one stands in the Song Dynasty Chongning for five years, and they are all antiquities that chase the Tang and Song dynasties.
This ancestral shrine, every time it is maintained, built, and expanded, there are inscriptions engraved on the stone, so their history can be seen clearly by Mo Xie and others.
Of course, in addition to recording the time of construction, many texts were also inscribed here, such as the "Ode to Filial Piety" engraved in the first year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty on the outside of the west gable.
Although this is a plagiarized article from other places, according to the Chinese character of Song, it is enough to show that the ancients advocated filial piety.
