Chapter 364: Youyou Luoyang (2)

"The emperor is the capital of Boyi, Xia Taikang moved the capital to the city, and the Shang Tang is the capital of Xi'an; King Wu fell, and eight hundred princes would meet Mengjin; Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing. Luoyang has been considered by the Chinese ancestors to be the middle of the world since ancient times. King Wu of Zhou set the rivers and mountains, that is, 'moved to Chengzhou, and the house was in China'. Xu Shu continued.

"It turns out that the name of China originated in Luoyang!" Liu Chan suddenly realized and blurted out his debut.

"We Chinese people call the people of the four realms Barbarian, Yi, Rong and Di, and call ourselves 'China'. The meaning of the word '国' is city or state. China is the central city or the central state. The word 'China' was first found in the classical texts of the Zhou Dynasty, and later took on different meanings depending on the object to which it was referred. Roughly speaking, there are six concepts: one refers to Jingshi, such as note: China, Jingshi also. The second refers to the area directly ruled by the Son of Heaven, Zhuge Kongming once said when he persuaded Sun Quan in Jiangzuo: If you can compete with China with Wu Yue's people, it is better to cut it off as soon as possible. The third refers to the Central Plains, such as: Dongou invites the whole country to China. Four refers to the mainland, such as: the world's famous mountains are eight, and three are in the barbarians, and five are in China. The fifth refers to the area inhabited by the Zhuxia people, such as: Zhuxia, China also. Six refers to the country established by the Chinese or Han people, and such a title often appears. Xu Shu is like a few treasures, and he tells the story.

Liu Chan nodded, because of this, since the Han Dynasty, people often refer to the Central Plains Dynasty established by the Han people as "China".

"Emperor Cuihan's residence, Heluo Kingdom, Luoyang in a long period of time, was once the center of the world and the hub of transportation, the road extends in all directions, galloping post road, its straight as an arrow, far away. The 'Silk Road' of the Han Empire, starting from Luoyang, can go straight to the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea in a foreign country. Xu Shu said again.

Zhao Yun continued: "Luoyang is the first place where my Chinese civilization sprouted, Taoism began here, Confucianism originated here, scriptures flourished here, Buddhism was first transmitted here, metaphysics was formed here, and science was found here. Sages gathered, humanities gathered. ”

Xu Shu nodded, and said like a few treasures: "What Zilong said is extremely true, the treasure of my Huaxia civilization, 'Hetuluo Book'" came from Luoyang. The 'ancestor of humanity', Fu Xi, according to the Hetu and Luo calligraphy and paintings, became the gossip and the nine domains. The Heluo culture and Heluo civilization centered on Luoyang led the Chinese civilization. Here, the Zhou metric system is musical, Lao Tzu writes articles, Confucius enters the Zhou courtesy, Ban Gu, Zuo Sizhi, once made 'Luoyang paper expensive', Zhang Heng invented the geodynamic instrument, Cai Lun paper-making ....."

Liu Chan sighed: "The weight of looking at the world is no better than the Central Plains. The weight of the Central Plains is no better than Luoyang. Luoyang is full of humanities, outstanding people, several romantic characters, and Luoyang! Luoyang is at the pinnacle of Chinese civilization, and it is really a dangerous peak with infinite scenery, and there is no other one for a while! I am afraid that the Han Empire has a territory of thousands of miles, a territory of thousands of miles, and I am afraid that only Chang'an can compare with it and keep pace with it! ”

Unconsciously, the group approached the city of Luoyang, and the beautiful scenery in front of them made people's eyes brighten. When the fog recedes, the east is replaced by wisps of glow, only to see the prosperity of the brocade, purple and red, all kinds of flowers like snow, blooming in the spring light. With the gentle spring breeze, all the flowers are singing. The world of flowers, the kingdom of flowers, the charm of flowers. The petals of the flowers are scattered and fall on the field and bluestone paths in the wilderness. In the sky, in the air, under the feet, there are bursts of floral fragrance everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed and unconsciously intoxicated.

In this situation, Liu Chan, who was grateful in his heart, sang: "Luoyang City is east and west, and it is goodbye to the long time." In the past, the snow was like flowers, and now the flowers are like snow. ”

Repeating yesterday's story again, Liu Chan's wonderful poem came with bursts of applause.

"Good poetry! Good poetry! The last time I left, the snow fell like flowers, but now when I come back, the flowers are as white as snow. These two poems lament that the reunion is too short, the parting is too long, and it always takes a long time to see each other after each breakup. Xu Shu, who met Liu Chan for the first time, was full of praise and said sincerely: "Snow is like a flower, with the body of snow, to describe the metaphor of flowers, and to write about the winter when parting; Flowers like snow take flowers as the body, describing the metaphor of snow, which means that when the reunion is already a spring full of flowers, the separation of the long, the suffering are melted into it, like a scene, in fact, it is a love. Although the time is only winter to spring, it is intriguing to be able to turn the snow and flowers upside down and turn out new ideas. The beauty of this poem lies in the connection between the images, which is really a stroke of genius! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Liu Chan was embarrassed, and shook his hands wildly: "Uncle Yuanzhi, this limerick poem was made on a whim, and it was purely an axe from the class, and I laughed and laughed." ”

Yanshan Snow Cherry pouted, glanced at the phoenix eyes, and said in a tone full of disdain: "That's it, that's it." He himself admitted that it was limerick, and the master Hugh wanted to pat him on the back. lest he raise his tail high! ”

Liu Chan was so angry that his scalp was cold, and he was shocked that Yan Shanxue was also a traverser like him. He rolled his eyes, but he couldn't do it, because he was really at fault, and he used other people's poems to hide from the world, so he had to be cheeky and giggle.

"What a couple of little enemies!" Ma Yunlu was amused by the two little guys and laughed and said angrily.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Sister Xue'er, there are people Zeng Yun, there is a difference between the north and the south, just like yin and yang, men and women, it has existed since ancient times, is it the same for this mountain and river?" Liu Chan rolled his eyes, thought about it, and quietly threw a novel question to Yan Shanxue. Then he smiled evilly and squinted at Yan Shanxue with bad intentions, obviously trying to win back a game.

Yanshan Xue was stunned for a while, the incident happened suddenly, she couldn't react for a while, she was on the spot, and she was speechless for a while. But after all, she is a smart person in Bingxue, her face is red, her apricot eyes are round, she glanced at Liu Chan angrily, and her mind turned rapidly.

"What Dou'er said is extremely true!" Xu Shu laughed when he heard this.

"Sister Xue'er, you should speak quickly. The younger brother is impatient to know the answer. Liu Chan pressed step by step, urging.

Yan Shanxue is well-informed, has been by Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong for a long time, has been well-informed, and has been deeply influenced by Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. The north is dry and rainless, the mountains and rivers are towering, and the plateau is majestic, so the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining. The south is rich and warm, the water town is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are handsome, so the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining. It is also known as the spirit of the earth, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people. The northern gold and stone are sonorous, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, the iron bones are strong, and there are more rough and bold, generous and tragic songs, brave and good at fighting, galloping and riding and shooting. The wood and water in the south are abundant, warm and warm, and full of books, with gentle literati, elegant scholars, humble gentlemen, and literati. ”
