Chapter Eighty-Eight: Handan
On this day, they were walking on the way to the ancient city of Handan, and Qin Yue thought of the monuments recommended by her father-in-law.
"Handan is ahead, and my father-in-law was stationed here. โ
At this time, Qin Yue was accompanying her stepmother in the van.
"Yes, I know. The young lady nodded.
"This was once the capital of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States of Zhao, and my father-in-law told me that there are many historical sites, should we go and visit them?" Qin Yue asked.
"I've finally made it here, so naturally I'm going to go. โ
The young lady who has been in the courtyard of the deep house has such an opportunity, so she naturally will not let it go.
Qin Yue came out of the car to discuss with Shi Gong and Fifth Master, and of course they had no objections.
Remembering the last time he rode into Handan, the martial arts people avoided one after another, and when he entered Handan City, Qin Yue sat in the car. Talking to my stepmother about the anecdote of the last time I came to Handan, the young lady said No wonder people call you a woman in the rivers and lakes, it turns out that you are really a bad star?
They stayed in the Sihai Car Store again. In the evening, when they went out to eat, they didn't go to Houdefu. Because it was a place where people gathered, they didn't want to get into trouble.
The next day, they came to the Sanzhong Temple first.
Sanzhong Temple is to save the Zhao orphan Han Ju, Cheng Ying and Gongsun Pestle and built, Sanzhong Temple has been in ancient times, there are records: Cheng Ying died, Zhao Wu sacrificed for it, Spring and Autumn words, the world is endless.
What I see now is that in the nineteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the county order Lu Longyun built it under the Cong Tai. Due to disrepair, the ancestral hall has fallen into disrepair. Listening to the tourists together, Handan Zhixian is now planning to restore and rebuild the Sanzhong Temple outside the south gate of the county.
Sanzhong saved the orphans of the Zhao family, which is said to be a matter of the Spring and Autumn Period. The most powerful state at that time was the Jin state. And Jin Jinggong, the monarch of the Jin State, was mediocre and incompetent, and the power of the court fell into the hands of Si Kou Tu Anjia.
Tu Anjia has long hated Zhao Shuo, the concubine who holds the power of the army, and has designed to get rid of him again and again. In the end, he finally took advantage of Jin Jinggong's intolerance and mediocrity to exterminate the Zhao family, which was known as "the difficulty of going to the palace".
More than 300 members of the Zhao family were slaughtered overnight. Zhao Shuo's wife, Princess Zhuang Ji, was the younger sister of the monarch and was sent back to live in the palace.
On the same day a few months later, Tu Anjia's wife, the wife of the folk doctor Cheng Ying, and Zhao Shuo's wife, Princess Zhuang Ji, all gave birth to a son.
Princess Zhuang Ji gave birth to a son named Zhao Wu, who was an orphan of the Zhao family.
The Zhao orphans were trapped in the palace, and Tu Anjia induced the mediocre Jin Jinggong to order the Zhao orphans to be killed in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
At the critical moment, Princess Zhuang Ji summoned Cheng Ying, a close friend of the Zhao family, into the inner palace on the grounds of seeing a doctor. When Cheng Ying put the Zhao orphan into the medicine box and took him out of the palace, the guard general Han Ju admired Cheng Ying's justice very much. let go of Cheng Ying and the Zhao orphans, and drew his sword to kill himself.
In order to get rid of the Zhao orphans, Tu Anjia, who had a monopoly on power, cruelly ordered to kill all babies within half a year old in the country.
In order to save the orphans and innocent babies of the Zhao family. Under the careful planning of the chivalrous Gongsun Pestle, Cheng Ying replaced the Zhao orphans with his own children. Gongsun Pestle was charged with hiding, and Cheng Ying pretended to be an informant, and Gongsun Pestle and Cheng Ying's son, who pretended to be an orphan of the Zhao family, were killed.
Cheng Ying was accused of betraying his friends for glory, and in people's misunderstanding and rejection, he cultivated the Zhao orphans into all-rounders in civil and military affairs.
Twenty years later, the orphan of the Zhao family grew up, and after learning the truth, he killed Tu Anjia and avenged the family's blood revenge.
The story of the orphans of the Zhao family has been circulated among the people, and various versions have also been formed. Loyal people are always loved by people.
Unexpectedly, the young lady also likes to explore the ancient world, and she has always been interested. Although dilapidated, many things have survived, especially some stone inscriptions. Hui Yu liked inscriptions the most in his life, and he studied the calligraphy in the inscriptions. The young lady is also very interested in the inscription, and asks Huiyu some questions from time to time.
Hui Yu also has a unique understanding and experience of the calligraphy on the inscription, and from time to time reminds the young lady to pay attention to some small details, casually telling those unknown legends and anecdotes;
They look very carefully and are very attentive.
Qin Yue and Tan Wu, like many people, were just satisfied with walking and passing by, satisfied that I had been here. However, Hui Yu and the young lady were interested, and they couldn't help but accompany them.
Coming out of the Sanzhong Temple, they entered the Sixian Temple again. The Temple of the Four Sages was built to commemorate Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Zhao Hao and Li Mu, and was also built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Also in disrepair and in disrepair.
Although the sculpture of the four sages has its outer skin peeling, it is still intact. The deeds of the four sages recorded on the walls on both sides are also faintly visible, and some such as "returning to Zhao after finishing the wall", "making peace", "bearing the guilt of Jing", etc., are also equipped with murals.
Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, a pair of outstanding civil and military generals, one is broad-minded, the other is open-minded, and a song will be harmonious, interpreting the swan song of the ages. Their cultural and martial arts also achieved the hegemony of Zhao, one of the three kingdoms after the division of Jin.
Not far from the four sages, there are tombs similar to Lian Po and Lin. Not far away, there is also a return lane, which is said to be the place where Lin Xiangru retreats in the story of harmony. There are also a lot of stone inscriptions inside, and Hui Yu and the young lady also look at them very carefully, and Qin Yue and Tan Wu are also accompanied.
Huiyu said: The ancient city of Handan is the place with the most idiom allusions, and there are splendid ancient cultures, rich and rich cultural precipitation, and the customs of the side plug in the idiom allusions.
For example: Handan toddler: It is about a young man in Shouling, Yan Guo, who went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and saw that Handan people walked with a beautiful posture, so he followed suit. As a result, not only did I not learn well, but I even forgot how I walked.
Valuable: It is said that a Chu native named Bian He got a piece of jade, and because no one knew the goods, it was regarded as a crime of deception to King Chu Li, and his left foot was cut off. After the death of King Chu Li, King Wu of Chu succeeded to the throne. He went again to offer to King Wu, and his right leg was cut off for deceiving the king. Later, it was finally discovered by King Wen of Chu, which was a rare treasure. In recognition of Bian He, this jade was named "The Wall of He". Later, this piece of jade came into the hands of King Zhao Hui and was favored by King Qin. lied that he wanted to exchange fifteen cities for the "wall of the Heshi", so he deduced another idiom allusion - to return to Zhao after completing the wall.
Talking about soldiers on paper: It is about Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao State, who is familiar with the art of war but is unrealistic.
In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Hao had died, Lian Po commanded the army, and the Qin State could not break Zhao. Qin Shi counter-planned and sent people to Zhao State to spread, "The Qin army is most afraid of General Zhao Kuo, Zhao Hao's son. Zhao Hui thought it was true and sent Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po. Zhao Kuo moved the art of war and changed Lian Po's battle plan. As a result, Zhao's 400,000 army was annihilated, and Zhao Kuo was also shot to death by the Qin army.
Saying that the king of Wei wanted to attack the state of Zhao, Ji Liang persuaded him that he met a person on the road who was rushing to the north and asked him to go to the state of Chu on the day. And the state of Chu was in the south, telling him that he was going in the wrong direction. But the other party said that his horse was good, the road fare was sufficient, and the driver was skilled. Admonished the King of Wei that if he went to attack Zhao, it would be the same as going north to the Chu State, and he would be farther and farther away from the goal of unifying the world as king.
Hu Fu Cavalry Shooting: It is said that King Wuling of Zhao was a very accomplished monarch, and in the military friction with the surrounding Hu people, he found that the Hu people were short clothes and long pants, and they were very flexible in horseback combat. So he advocated wearing the clothes of the Hu people and learning the archery of the Hu people. After being criticized, he overrode public opinion, took the lead in riding Hu clothes, and learned Hu people to ride horses and shoot arrows. Because Zhao Guo was not resting on his laurels, but was good at learning the strengths of others, he soon became strong and became the hero of the Seven Kingdoms.
Because of the success of people, the three-inch tongue, the bird that hurts the bow, the guilt of the thorn, the strange goods can live, the snipe and the clam fight, the sweet dream of yellow sorghum, a pillow of yellow beams, the law-abiding, protracted, the profit makes the wisdom faint, spare no effort, the cauldron sinks, Mao Sui self-recommendation, the battle against the water, the siege of Wei to save Zhao, the wise man has a thousand worries, the end of the book, the armpit of a fox, the three of them become a tiger, the pipe peep cone finger, the melon field and the plum, the road is not left behind, the deer dies, it is difficult to see the festival, sit and do not mess up, make up the day of the bath, Dong Fox's pen, cover the ears and steal the bell, the Confucian arson, steal the talisman to save Zhao, Ye Gong is a good dragonใ...... Hui Yu said more than 100 idioms and allusions to Handan in one breath. The young lady said that she knew most of these idioms, but she really didn't know that they were produced in Handan.
Next, they went to the nearby Wuling Congtai. According to legend, it was built in the period of King Wuling of Zhao, and it was the place where King Zhao inspected the army and watched singing and dancing. Building, pavilion, platform, pavilion heavy and connected into a whole and the day "cluster platform". There are records of the original overpass, snow cave, flower garden, makeup pavilion and so on on the platform, the structure is rigorous, the decoration is wonderful, and it has been famous all over the world. Wuling Congtai is also the place where the Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting took place, which witnessed the Zhao State become powerful and became the only country that could compete with the Qin State at that time.
In the past 2,000 years, Congtai has experienced countless natural and man-made disasters, and has been rebuilt and rebuilt many times. The ancients used the verse of "the sky bridge connects the Han Ruo Changhong, and the snow cave is as blurred as the silver sea" to describe the magnificence of Congtai, and the great poets Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, etc. have taken the stage many times to watch the poems.
The group stayed in Handan for two days, and successively visited the palace city of Zhaodu, the ruins of Tongquetai, and the ruins of Yecheng. Although these are only ruins, there is little left. But here to hang on the ancients, dialogue with the ancients, there is also a special feeling.
When she left Handan, the young lady asked Hui Yu if there was a place to use the word Handan except for here? Hui Yu thought for a long time and said that there seemed to be no place to use it anymore.
He said that this situation is not only in Handan, but also in some such characters that are dedicated to the name of a certain place or river, such as the character of Mianchi, the Wei of Weifang, the Zi of Zibo, the Yan of Yanzhou, the Yun of Yuncheng, the Qi of Linqu, and so on.
Tan Wu asked: If the names of these places are changed, will this word be useless?
The young lady said: It's better not to change these names.
Qin Yue said: She advocates making the text simpler, such as so many homophones, is it possible to understand more than one word, just use one word. In this way, the Chinese characters can be simpler and can be reduced a lot.
Hui Yu said: It is simpler, which is convenient for the learning and dissemination of Chinese characters. However, some Chinese characters are not only words, but also contain the sedimentation of history and culture. It's a pity that it's gone.
