Where is Chentangguan, Nezha's hometown? Sichuan, Fujian or Tianjin?
let's talk with data. According to media reports, since its release on July 26th, as of August 1th, Ne Zha's box office has exceeded 3.2 billion yuan, officially becoming the first animated film in China film history to enter the "3 billion yuan box office club", and ranking among the top 7 highest box office in China film history.
at the same time, Ne Zha has a good reputation. Douban scored 8.6, with 46% of the audience scoring the highest score of 5 stars and only .1% of the audience scoring the lowest score of 1 star. The cat's eye score is as high as 9.7.
Today, we won't talk about Ne Zha's box office or its word of mouth, but let's talk about a relatively unpopular topic: Where is Nezha's hometown today?
As we all know, Nezha is the son of Li Jing, the company commander of Chentangguan, who was born in Chentangguan. Therefore, where Chentangguan is located is Nezha's hometown.
There are different opinions about the location of Chentangguan. Some say it's in Jiangyou County, Sichuan, some say it's in Hui 'an County, Fujian, some say it's in Xixia County, Henan, and some say it's in Hexi District, Tianjin. These statements are fair and reasonable, and the old woman says that the old woman is reasonable. No one can convince anyone.
Let's say it's in Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province. It seems right. There is indeed a Chentang Pass, which is a pass between Longmen Mountain and guarding Fujiang River and Pingtong River. There is also a statue view of Nezha on the mountain.
It seems right to say that it is in Hui 'an County, Fujian Province. Tongguanling in Tuling Town in the north of Hui 'an County is called Chentangguan.
It's no problem to say it's in Xixia County, Henan Province. According to Xixia County Records, the original Prince Nezha Temple at the top of the south hill of Kuiwen Village in Dinghe, Xixia County: a temple, located in the west and east, with a brick wall and a tiled roof, two windows and one door, with a three-foot Qualcomm Hall altar built inside, on which a colorful clay sculpture statue of Prince Nezha is dedicated ...
It's equally reasonable to say it's in Hexi District, Tianjin.
after all the calculations, it turned out to be a muddled account.
I think, to find out the location of Chentangguan, we have to look up the original Romance of the Gods.
In the twelfth chapter of the Romance of the Gods, I wrote: "It was May, and the weather was hot. Li Jing rebelled against Jiang Wenhuan, the Duke of Dongbo, and fought against Dou Rong in the Wandering Soul Pass, so he practiced the three armies and coached the soldiers every day." In the 14th episode of "Nezha is now the lotus incarnation", he wrote: "Let's talk about Li Jing's revenge for his father because of Dongbo Jiang Wenhuan, and he mobilized 4, troops to fight against Dou Rong, but Rong could not win. Li Jing performed the three armies in Yemaling and kept close to the pass. "
Jiang Wenhuan was the first of the eight hundred princes to rebel, and his jurisdiction was equivalent to that of Shandong and its surrounding areas today. After Jiang Wenhuan rebelled, Li Jing was very nervous and was busy training the army to prevent the rebels from calling. If Chentangguan is located in Sichuan and Fujian, then Li Jing need not be so nervous. Therefore, Chentangguan must not be located in Sichuan and Fujian.
In the twelfth chapter of the Romance of the Gods, I wrote: "(Nezha) took off his clothes, sat on a stone, put seven feet of mixed silk in water, dipped it in water and took a bath. I didn't know this river was Jiuwan River, which was the mouth of the East China Sea."
It can be seen that Nezha bathed in Jiuwan River, which leads to the East China Sea, and his treasures influenced the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. Neither Henan nor Sichuan has a seaport, and Fujian is close to the South China Sea, which is not the location of Chentangguan.
So, does Hexi District of Tianjin meet the above conditions?
First of all, Tianjin is close to Shandong-during the Qing Dynasty, the Boxer Rebellion spread from Shandong to Tianjin and other places-and Jiang Wenhuan was fighting in Shandong. If Chen Tang was locked up in Tianjin, Li Jing would really feel nervous, take precautions and train the three armed forces.
Secondly, Tianjin has a seaport leading to the Bohai Sea. Located in the east of China, the Bohai Sea is called the "East Sea".
To sum up, Chentangguan is located in Hexi District of Tianjin, and Nezha's hometown is in Tianjin.
