63.Sunday Counseling (7)

Qingfeng and a few parents climbed the mountain with great interest.

Yang Jiajia's parents, is an ordinary worker in the factory, the usual time work is very tight, this time to accompany Yang Jiajia to the forest park, is indeed a kind of leisure, if not out, all the housework of the elderly and children in the family, they have to use Sunday to finish it, because the usual time to work are more tired, only to use the rest day to do some housework, they live with their parents, filial piety to the elderly is a solemn obligation of theirs.

Facing the beautiful scenery and colorful autumn nature, the two of them were also very surprised. This is the first time to be immersive, and it is the best season to appreciate the red leaves, overlooking the autumn clothes of the earth, there is really a beautiful feeling, and it is also very energetic to walk, so they have been in the forefront of climbing.

Professor Dong was already very familiar with Qingfeng, the two of them talked while walking, Wang Wenli's parents listened quietly to their conversation, and the two of them silently followed at the end, exchanging glances from time to time.

Professor Dong, "The change in Xishan is really big, when we went to school, it should have been twenty or thirty years ago, at that time the trees in Xishan had not yet grown, from a distance, it was still bare, I think that there should have been trees at that time, but they were all hidden in the shrubs and weeds, and did not form a forest." ”

Qingfeng, "the greening of Xiaoxi Mountain has started very early, just now I looked at the introduction below, it is said that in the 50s, Mr. Zhu led the troops, greening the West Mountain is one of their tasks, after decades of barren mountain afforestation, only to restore the West Mountain into a lush mountain, now from a distance, there are forests everywhere, and a lot of shrubs around the forest have also recovered, just like the cabbage around the side, in the past it should be the distribution of dots, and now after the breeding of garden workers, these flowers have grown very luxuriantly, this time of year is the best view. ”

A few people walked while looking at the surrounding scenery, a building like a turret, met their eyes, Wang Wenli's father, asked Qingfeng What kind of building is this?

Qingfeng, "It's a long story short to talk about this building. ”

In this area of Xishan, there are many ancient buildings on the mountain, it is said that there are more than 100 temples, want to hunt here in the Yuan Dynasty, the most famous are the eight water courtyards, among them, there are 4 water courtyards around Xiangshan, due to the baptism of war later, many courtyards have ceased to exist. The Ming Dynasty also built many gardens here, but not many remained. Most of the current architectural relics are left by the Qing Dynasty.

In the early Kangqian period, the concept of the Eight Views of Yanjing was proposed, which actually had a prototype in the Yuan Dynasty, and the most famous is the clear snow of the West Mountain. The landscape of the clear snow in the West Mountain is in the spring, the wild apricot trees and peach trees are distributed all over the mountains on the West Mountain, when the spring just comes, the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are full of the West Mountain, from a distance, the clusters of white flowers, as if it has just fallen in the snow, especially the rising sun, or the sunset of the West Mountain, the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms in the patches are as beautiful as clouds, so it is called the clear snow of the West Mountain, the landscape of one of the eight views of Yanjing.

Because it is a royal realm, the common people are not able to go up the mountain, the most famous is the Xishan Health Camp, which is the closest garrison to the capital, and these enemy buildings are used for military training in those years. During the Qianlong period, rebellions against the Qing government in the southwest of Miaojiang rose one after another, and the repeated suppressions by the Qing government did not quell them.

The Manchu government, in order to suppress the uprising of the border people in Miaojiang, has sent many generals and important ministers, after more than 20 years of suppression, still did not quell these rebellions, so the ministers who were sent out, each time the rank was higher than the previous one, three of which were suppressed, all led by the minister of the military aircraft department, equivalent to the prime minister of the district government, in order to give full play to the various resources of the district government, coordinate various forces, and use the power of the whole country to suppress this rebellion, several prime ministers, all because of the suppression of the rebellion is unfavorable, In the end, he raided his family and exterminated his family, which became a major problem for Emperor Qianlong at that time.

In the end, Emperor Qianlong chose his brother-in-law, a minister named Fu Heng, to lead the Imperial Forest Army, after several years of hard fighting, but also after a lot of hardships, these rebellions were suppressed, but Fu Heng later also because of this process, accumulated hard work and became ill, and died in other places. Emperor Qianlong claimed to be a perfect old man, and summed up 10 great miracles for himself, one of which was to recover Miaojiang.

In order to familiarize the soldiers with the situation at that time, many enemy buildings were built in the Xishan camp, which were modeled after the enemy buildings in the southwest Miao Jiang, so that the soldiers in the camp could use this hypothetical enemy building for training and carry out siege warfare. If you look at these enemy towers, you will know the hard training of those soldiers in the Xishan camp, and you will also realize how difficult it was to pacify Miaojiang at that time. This kind of enemy tower has been built in Xishan, and it is possible that it has been preserved now.

As the most important garrison base of the Qing Dynasty, many of the court dramas about the Qing Dynasty in recent years have described the Xishan camp. For example, after the death of Emperor Kangxi, before the news was announced, Emperor Yongzheng at that time sent his 13th brother Yinxiang to use his official office to print and control the Xishan camp and Fengtai camp in advance before the Eight Masters Party, so as to achieve the final victory of seizing the throne.

Therefore, in the villages around Xishan Forest Park, there are many names of barracks, which have been retained as place names, such as the Blue Flag Battalion, Yang Er Battalion, in fact, the names of the garrison at that time were these camps. Xishan is the most important garrison base of the Qing government, but also the most important royal garden, with Xishan as the background, now the remaining garden is only a small part, the most famous is the Old Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace was called the source of ten thousand yuan, the current Summer Palace is only one of the three gardens left at that time, even the site of Yenching University now, are part of the Old Summer Palace at that time.

Xishan from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, are the royal hunting place, and there are a lot of buildings inside, in addition to the temple, of course, these temples are also royal temples, there are many palaces, only the royal can be here. Half of the year, the emperor spent half of his time working in the Forbidden City, and the other half of his time working in the Old Summer Palace, which was also a place where they often walked, including numerous royal temples.

Professor Dong heard Qingfeng's introduction and also talked about some of the information he knew, "Before we entered the National Forest Park, there was an orchard opposite, and this orchard was called Tuancheng Orchard. In fact, this regimental city is not only the place where the emperor paraded his army, but also a palace of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but it was built into an apple orchard in the 50s, so it is called the regimental city orchard. Now the regimental city has been restored, and I heard that several TV series have been filmed there. ”

Qingfeng, "Xishan is a famous tourist holy place, the Qing Dynasty has a great talent, is also one of the eight strange Zheng Banqiao in Yangzhou, when she came to Beijing to report on work, once visited the entire Xishan, we are now repairing these monuments, many of them are repaired in accordance with Zheng Banqiao's mail. For example, you can say that the Yuquan Mountain opposite, which is also one of the eight scenic spots of Yanjing, after decades of decline in the Republic of China, many historic sites have lost their original structure, and can only be restored to their original appearance according to the past records and the travelogues of some celebrities. ”

Professor Dong, "In the past few years, the destruction of some cultural relics and historic sites has also been very bad, which is completely a catastrophe, destroying so many historical relics and cultural heritage, and it is very difficult to repair them now." ”

As they walked, they came to the side of a fence, and the surrounding forest was in stark contrast to this fence. Qingfeng stepped forward, there was a large billboard, she looked at it carefully, and memorized the words on it carefully.

After seeing her leave the sign, Professor Dong asked inquiringly, "How can there be new construction in the forest park?" ”

Qingfeng said, "The notice says that this is the remains of the North Fahai Temple, and according to the construction plan of the Yongding Hexi Mountain Cultural Belt, this royal temple garden will be restored." ”

Yang Jiajia's father interjected, "I heard the old people say that this is a very large temple, and there is still a royal road for the emperor to worship the Buddha, and my father said that there used to be a very beautiful street building, which is like the white pagoda in Beihai, which seems to be related to Tibetan Buddhism." ”

Qingfeng, "It's really right for you to say, it is said that on the 60th birthday of Emperor Qianlong, Lama Dalai went to Chengde Summer Resort to visit, and after coming back, he lived here." There are two Fahai Temples on the West Mountain, there is a South Fahai Temple on the side of Shijingshan, and now this is the North Fahai Temple, after these historical relics are restored, the cultural heritage of the West Mountain is strengthened, and the cultural connotation of this forest park is also highlighted, when the time comes, we can not only appreciate the gift of nature, but also be able to admire our profound traditional culture. ”

Wang Wenli's father, "these cultural relics are not restored, Xishan itself is the original royal hunting ground, after the construction of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, all kinds of cultural relics and monuments are countless, now the restoration is only some of the Qing Dynasty leftovers, the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty monuments have been difficult to find." The most serious damage to these monuments should be the Republic of China era, every time a warlord enters Beijing, it is a plunder, and those cultural relics are almost destroyed. ”

Qingfeng, "According to the introduction of the forest park, the celebrities of the Republic of China have many cemeteries here, and there are also many charities, the most famous is Xiong Xiling, the first premier of the Republic of China, it is said that an orphanage was established on the West Mountain, and the orphans scattered in the capital are here. ”

Professor Dong, "It seems that the land under our feet, in addition to being a forest park, has its cultural connotation in every inch, and we have a lot to gain from accompanying the children to tutoring." ”
