Chapter 37 Interpreting the Ancient Map
The second of the spiral passage leads directly to the burial chamber of the green-haired zongzi. The third leads to a roller skating rink with a cage underfoot. Fourth, it leads to a sculpture house in the theme park.
Seeing this, everyone was annoyed for a while, because we chose the shortest one, and also walked the whole tomb. And the one who chose the longest one was probably the bandit group, who went directly to a sculpture house and stabbed the worm's nest.
At the bottom of the map, a map of an ancient city was drawn, and Yan Qiu pointed to the three platforms in the northwest corner of the city and said, "This is Yecheng, the capital of Cao Cao." โ
I see that it is written in ancient Chinese characters from top to bottom, Bingjingtai, Tongquetai, and Jinhutai. I asked Yan Qiu: "Then this Yecheng, is there still it now?" Where is it? โ
Yan Qiu said: "Just east of Ci County, where we are located, now called Linzhang County, there is a place called Santai Village to the west. Because in the Western Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the ridicule of the emperor Sima Ye at that time, Yecheng was changed to Linzhang. However, this map should be called Yecheng floor plan, not Linzhang floor plan. โ
The fat brother asked: "It's all the same place, why can't it be called?" โ
Yan Qiu replied: "The original appearance and title of Yecheng are completely maintained here, and the Golden Tiger Terrace, in the Later Zhao Dynasty, in order to avoid Shi Hu's secrecy, a golden phoenix was installed on the stage and renamed the Golden Phoenix Terrace. In fact, tourists have always regarded this Jinfeng Terrace as the Tongque Terrace, which has long been washed away by the Zhangshui River, and only a rammed earth mound less than ten meters high remains. โ
I have never heard of Bingjingtai and Jinhutai, but I have heard of this Tongque Terrace, so I sang Du Mu's poem: "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, Tongque Spring is deeply locked Erqiao." โ
Everyone looked at me with admiration, Yan Qiu looked at me with a smile and said, "Yo, are you quite educated?" โ
I was ashamed to say: "That's natural, I don't know anything else, this Tongquetai locked Er Qiao, I know." โ
Yan Qiu shook his head and said, "Another person whose mind was changed by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". โ
I didn't know if she was praising me or despising me, so I asked Yanqiu, "What do you mean by that?" โ
Yan Qiu told us about this Tongquetai and Suo Erqiao.
She said that there is a poem written by Cao Zhi called "Tongque Taifu", in which two lines are "Even the two bridges are in the east and west, if the long sky of the ่ (dรฌ) ่ (dรณng)." "The scorpion means rainbow, and it was originally intended to describe the beauty of this bronze bird. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to provoke Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang changed these two sentences to "Take the second Qiao in the southeast, and enjoy the day and night." When Zhou Yu heard that Cao Cao was going to beat his wife, he became angry and wanted to fight Cao Cao in Chibi.
The fat brother interjected: "This Zhou Yu is stupid enough, his wife is lying on the bed in Dongwu, and he actually made such a big appointment for Zhuge Liang's adapted poem." โ
Yan Qiu said: "Zhou Yu's suspicions are not necessarily unfounded, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's father, that is, Qiao Gong, is actually Cao Cao's mentor, he once commented on Cao Cao, he is a capable minister who governs the world, a hero in troubled times, Cao Cao's life is also because of the encouragement of these two sentences, so he has not been discouraged and finally achieved a great cause." However, this Cao Cao has never seen Xiao Qiao, he just heard about it. โ
The word "hero" kept echoing in my mind, and I remembered what Jiang Li said, there are seven stars descending into the world, and seven heroes are causing trouble in the world, I am afraid that this Cao Cao must be one, he has fought and killed people all his life, but it is not ordinary, maybe it is also driven by ghost eyes.
Yan Qiu then told us again, she said that this is actually just a compilation in the novel, in real history, when Cao Zhi wrote this "Tongque Taifu", Zhou Yu had already died, and there would be no one at all, Zhuge Liang changed the words to Zhou Yu to read the bridge.
She also said that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the origin of the name of Tongquetai was also made up, and the book said: Cao Cao went out one day and saw a golden light on the ground, so he dug out a copper bird, and he asked the people around him what were the signs? Xun You said: "Shun's mother dreamed that the jade finch flew into her arms, and later gave birth to Shun, and today she got this bronze sparrow, which must be an auspicious omen." Cao Cao was happy when he heard this, so he built a bronze bird platform on the Zhanghe River.
In fact, Cao Cao's real purpose in building three platforms was to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Advance and show his status.
There is actually no bronze finch on the bronze finch platform. In 104 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Jianzhang Palace in Shanglin Yuan in the western suburbs of Chang'an, and there was a group of buildings called Shuangyuanque. Que is an ancient prince, in order to show off his power when building a mansion, double towers were built on both sides of the gate. On the top of that que, there are often bird-shaped ornaments, on the top of the tower of the double round que, there is a pair of bronze phoenixes installed, the ancient poem "Song" says: Chang'an City West Double Circle Que, there is a pair of copper finches on it. One song of five grains is born, and then the five grains are ripe.
In order to show his strength, Cao Cao named it Tongquetai, which is comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, Cao Cao was the prime minister of the official residence at that time, and the title was the Marquis of Wuping, and he did not claim to be the king of Wei, so he was not qualified to build a phoenix decoration on the platform, and the ancient etiquette was quite strict.
And Tongquetai is not only a viewing tower, but also a place used by Cao Cao to train his navy. Cao Cao was on the stage, let the soldiers compete in martial arts, and the literati and scholars drank and wrote poems.
Tongquetai has a more important role, which is a strategic location. When Yan Cai rebelled, Cao Cao hid on this bronze bird platform and waited for Wang Xiu's reinforcements.
However, the military role of this Tongquetai is not as great as the role of cultural development, and the famous Jian'an literature in history is based on these three stations, and Tongquetai is naturally an important place for literati to gather.
At that time, a large number of literary scholars in the north gathered in Tongquetai to express their minds with their literary attainments, expressing their ambitions and aspirations to make meritorious contributions, and at the same time, they also felt that the war was continuous, reflecting the social reality and the miserable life of the people, and setting off the first climax of literati creation in the history of poetry in our country. Because it was the era of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, it was called Jian'an literature in later generations.
The emergence of Jian'an literature is also a heavy impact on Confucianism, in that era of war and social disorder, the moral concept of Confucianism has been completely unable to bind people's hearts, and is no longer people's moral standards and value scales.
Listening to Yan Qiu's explanation of the clouds and mountains and fog covers, it is like listening to a commentary, one Yecheng, just these three are enough for us to learn for half a lifetime, it seems that she has the true inheritance of Professor Chen. I admire Yan Qiu not only but also Professor Chen, if Professor Chen were here in person, it is estimated that he would not be able to finish the lecture for three days and three nights.
Yan Qiu's voice has fallen, but everyone is still immersed in endless fantasies, as if the singing, dancing, poetry and wine on the Tongque platform at that time appeared in front of our eyes, the bustling Yecheng under the stage, the people live happily, as if they were around us, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.
Zhao Tiesuo was obviously not interested, interrupted everyone's sweet dreams and asked, "Then is there a painting on this picture, and what are we going to do next?" โ
We searched for a long time in the messy line, and we didn't have a clue.
Sister Hua still has a good memory, she used her fingers on the map, along the various passages to draw to the end, and stopped at a small square room, which is where we are now.
But the picture clearly shows that there is a coffin here, and under the ground, there are several roads that twist and turn, and below is the map of Yecheng, which has nothing to do with the tomb.
Everyone was pondering what mystery was hidden in the picture, and they listened to the noise in the corridor, and vaguely heard the leading brother say: "Just take this road, this road is ventilated, and there is an exit in front." โ
As soon as I heard it, those bandits actually went the same way as us, and made the right choice empirically without any effort, I'm afraid we're going to be doomed, and we're going to be shut down and let the dogs go?
Just when we were at a loss, Lu Shan pulled the corner of my clothes and pointed to the square platform.
We followed Lu Shan's finger and looked over, and a sarcophagus appeared on the platform.
