What about Qingyang in ancient times?

1. Qingyang City, the hometown of Zhou Zu, is located in the Loess Plateau in the east of Gansu Province, with Qingyuan in the south, so it is called Qingyang. There are two seasonal rivers flowing from the east and west sides of the city, which sandwich Qingyang City, forming a diamond shape, like a phoenix spreading its wings, so Qingyang is also called "Fengcheng". Qingyang is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so the history books say that "the prosperity of Zhou Daoism began in Qingyang". According to historical records, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty was Hou Ji, and Hou Ji was an agricultural official in charge of wheat planting. By the end of the Xia Dynasty (about16th century BC), Hou Ji was later called Busan (sound bank), lost his official position, moved into the land of Rongqiang (now Qingyang area), was planted by his parishioners, and established Qingyang City. In the story of digging ditches to build cities, there is also a legend that people always dig in Dongchuan, saying that they always dig in Dongchuan, which has become a symbol that the Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty will replace Yin Shang in the future. According to historical records, Qingyang has a history of 3,500 years, which is rare among many ancient cities in China. Later, he died in Qingyang and was buried on the Dongshan Mountain in Qingyang, which is Zhou Zuling. Later, Gongliu, the windowless grandson, moved south to Xunyi and Binxian in Shaanxi Province to avoid the intrusion of Yiqu people. Later, later generations moved to Qishan area. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Qingyang became the old state of Zhou ancestors, and later generations often came to Qingyang to worship their ancestors.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qingyang was under the jurisdiction of Yi Qu. In 266 BC, Qin Zhaogong destroyed the foreign country and established Beidi County, which became a part of Qin State. Qingyang was Qiuyi County of Beidi County. In the Han Dynasty, Qiu Yi County was changed to Yu Lian County. The Sui Dynasty was renamed Honghua County in 6 17 (13th year of Sui Daye), and Li Yuan stayed in Honghua County. In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Anhua County and later Hue County. As can be seen from the change of county names, it was a land of Rong and Qiang in ancient times and belonged to frontier minority areas. It was constantly appeased and ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty, and gradually reached an agreement with the Central Plains people.

2. Fan Zhongyan guarded Qingyang. By the Song Dynasty, Qingyang had become a frontier defense place facing Xixia, a powerful force in the north. The Northern Song Dynasty was founded in 960, before Liao in 9 16, and Xixia in 1038. Liao and Xixia were two major military forces that troubled the Northern Song Dynasty at that time. Liao threatened the regime of the Northern Song Dynasty from Hedong (including northern Shanxi, northern Hebei to the east of the Yellow River) and Xixia from Hexi (including northern Shaanxi and eastern Gansu). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xixia waged wars against the Song Dynasty year after year, and small-scale harassment became more frequent, and the border areas were extremely restless, and Qingyang was the time when Xixia invaded the traffic arteries of the Central Plains. Qingzhou was established in Qingyang in Song Dynasty. 104 1 year (Song and Yuan Dynasties), Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the magistrate of Qingzhou and appeased and guarded Qingzhou. At that time, Han Qi was appointed as Yan Yan Road and was stationed in Shaanxi. The two men controlled several roads of military forces to resist the invasion of Xixia, so that the local people were spared the suffering of swords and shadows, and the court in the Northern Song Dynasty was stable, thanks to their efforts. Later, the two entered the DPRK together.

Fan Zhongyan's guarding Qingyang adopted the policy of "plowing the fields and guarding the city", and built cities, defended the border and appeased simultaneously. One is to consolidate the defense of Gyeongju City. On the basis of the original Qingyang City, two new Fucheng cities were built in the north. At the same time, the construction of Qingcheng was intensified. At that time, there were state and county government offices and various public facilities in the city, and there were more than a dozen monasteries alone, with Zhenshuo Building at the north gate. Zhenshuo Building is the commanding height of the whole city, and you can see the beacon tower from the north. This building was destroyed by the siege of Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, and was rebuilt in Zhenshuo Building in the Qing Dynasty and later destroyed by the war. This building no longer exists today. Except Ada, it has not been burned twice, and it is called Shenmu. Today, the only remaining Song Dynasty building in Qingyang is Zhaopu Hall, which has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain. Second, dozens of satellite cities have been built within dozens of miles around Qingcheng. These cities can not only resist the invasion of Xixia people, but also resettle the people in the city, forming a joint defense pattern with Qingyang City. Third, the garrison reclaimed land and let the soldiers move home. Because their parents and wives are in the city, the soldiers will bravely defend the land. Because of Fan Zhongyan's effective measures and strong military strength, Qiang people surrendered one after another, and Xixia people dared not invade. Qingyang at this time should be said to be the most prosperous period in ancient times. Two years later, Fan Zhongyan entered the DPRK as prime minister, and his son continued to know Gyeongju. The people of Gyeongju have won the favor of Fan, and the local people have built shrines to worship.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, Qingyang was occupied by nomadic people, and the Jurchen nationality and Han nationality lived in Qingyang. Qingyang Museum still holds a big iron clock cast in the Jin Dynasty, which is 3 meters high and engraved with Jurchen characters. Qingyang Prefecture was changed in Yuan Dynasty, and Anhua County was increased in Ming Dynasty. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the national political center has moved eastward, and Qingyang in the west has lost its position as a border town, and its economy is very underdeveloped. Even during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a drought in Qingyang, locusts covered the sun, and the people were in famine, resulting in the tragic scene of "man eating man".

Li Mengyang's hometown is worth mentioning. Li Mengyang, a great scholar in Ming Dynasty, was born in Qingyang. Li Mengyang (1473— 1529) was a godsend, and once served as Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Deputy Envoy of Jiangxi Province. Literature advocates retro, and advocates that "literature must be in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and poetry must flourish in the Tang Dynasty". It is one of the four literary masters of Jiajing. The literary retro movement he led had a great influence at that time.

According to legend, when Li was pregnant, she dreamed that the sun fell into her arms one night and the child was born the next day, so she was named Mengyang. In the seventh year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, Li Mengyang went to Chang 'an to take the exam. Unexpectedly, one of the candidates has the same name. This person looked down on Li Mengyang who came out of the ravine, so he wanted to make things difficult and asked Meng Yang to come right: "Lin Xiangru and Sima Xiangru are as famous as they are, but they are not." Li Mengyang turned a deaf ear to this and replied: "Wei Wuji and Sun Chang are infinite, and there is no mowgli." The correct answer is very clever. During the exam, the examiner ordered to write poems on the spot. Li Mengyang said, "Climb the stairs step by step, and look at Beidou with both hands on the railing. It's not a green hill that covers your eyes. Look at 18 States in the world. " The examiner was surprised at his talent. This year, Li Mengyang passed the Jinshi exam, and later became an influential scholar and a generation of literary leaders.

4. Qingyang Eight Scenes In the early Qing Dynasty, Qingyang, Pingliang, Lintao and Changgong provinces were divided into Gansu Province, and Qingyang County has not changed. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing government set up schools, brown weaving bureaus, post offices and chambers of commerce in Qingyang. After the Revolution of 1911, Qingyang was also influenced by the new wave. Middle schools and foot clubs were established, and the people's strength was restored, showing a scene of living and working in peace. At that time, there were eight scenic spots in Qingyang, including Zhou Laowang's Tomb and Etan Cave, and one of them was Cheng Nan Night Market, which roughly reflected the economic life of the people at that time. The landscape poems and couplets written by literati at that time are still very interesting to read today. I copied a few paragraphs for everyone to enjoy.

Cheng Nan Night Market Author: Yang Licheng painstakingly, running all day long and struggling later; The house you live in often has a monopoly, waiting for the cock to crow; Every day after dusk, there is still noise and laughter; Try to look out of Yongchun building, with bright lights all over the south of the city.

Qingyang West Street Swing Title Author: Hu Juwu wandering girl like the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, dancing like a bachelor's footsteps.

Written by Qingyang Tianzu Club Author: Yang steps are difficult, don't overqualified; Feet should be heavy, and old clothes should be changed quickly.
