Is Fang Xiaoyue, the county magistrate in Yixing history, really a real person?
This is not easy to check. You probably have to look at books such as local county records.
The following is a story from the Internet, you can refer to it.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Daitou Village near Yixing in Liyang. There was a man named Shi Yizhi in the village. He passed the Jinshi examination during the Kangxi period and became the prime minister during the Qianlong period. When Shi Yizhi was an official in the court, he was honest and upright and had outstanding political achievements. He was highly regarded by Emperor Qianlong. In his seventies, Qianlong allowed him to retire and return to his hometown. When leaving, Shi Yizhi made a request to Qianlong, that is, to choose a place in Yixing as his cemetery a hundred years later, and to build an archway as a memorial to future generations. Qianlong not only approved it, but also personally inscribed the plaques of "Enrongfang" and "Ziyunli" on the archway.
Prime Minister Shi not only built a fake tomb in Yuanshang Village, Yixing, but also built a fake tomb at the foot of the mountain between Shanjuan Shanggan Village and Pushu Village, Xinjie Street. It is commonly known as Shijia Tomb Mountain. When he was a child, I often went there to play. There were archway ruins at that time, and there were stone figures and horses everywhere after the Four Old Ages.
I had nothing to do the past few days. I also wanted to see how the Shijia Tombs are now. So we asked a friend to go back to our childhood memories together.
My friend had a good memory and he led the way. We found the place easily. The tomb is now at Pushu Village and Shangqian on the Yiguang Line. At the foot of Zhupo Mountain in the middle of the village, within the territory of Shanggan Village, walk about 300 meters into the mountain from the road. Standing on Fenshan and looking east, you will see the famous Limo Mountain. If you look at Limo Mountain from the area of Shanggan Village , just like a resting phoenix. Therefore, some people at that time called it Phoenix Mountain. There was a large natural hole on the top of the mountain. When viewed from below or from a distance, it looked like the eyes of the phoenix. And Shijiafeng Mountain was located right at the tip of the phoenix's wings. Some Taoists pointed and said: On the left is a blue dragon and on the right is a white tiger. This is the land of dragon veins, the place where the emperor came from!
Unfortunately for Taoists, ancient people have long said that in the old days, Fang Xiaoyue, the magistrate of Yixing County, went to Pushu Village to destroy This dragon vein was discovered and 18 open wells and 36 hidden wells were dug. The dragon vein was broken. From then on, apart from Zhou Chu, Pushu Village never had any high-ranking officials. I went to Pushu Village to look for it. , there are still two open wells in use, and I actually found one hidden well. It seems that these are not random things. (Note: This mountain originally belonged to Pushu Village)
But the thin A dead camel is stronger than a horse. After all, this place is still a geomantic treasure, because some historical prime ministers still fell in love with this place. The cemetery is still this cemetery, but it no longer has the scenery of the past. My friends and I searched for a long time before we found it in the grass. The grave is located on a sunny side at the foot of the mountain, about 20 meters higher than the horizon at the foot of the mountain. It is a typical sunny side, which is also in line with the current Feng Shui.
Pull away the grass and look inside We arrived at two Tianzi stones, which are dark in color but a little black. The two Tianzi stones are the cover of the tomb, one is the woman's head and the other is the male's head. This way, they can be tied up so that no rainwater will enter the tomb. It is estimated that each piece weighs several tons. I heard that in the 1960s, the Shanjuan people opened this tomb in order to make a fortune. There was only one gold bar and nothing else. After opening it, the two stone slabs were thrown away and left to fend for themselves. p>
Looking inside, the mouth of the tomb has collapsed, but you can see that the inside is about three meters long, about one meter high, and about one meter wide. My friend said that he used to sleep here often at night. Taking a nap. I feel dizzy! There is almost no gap between the bluestones inside. The level of craftsmen in ancient times was really high.
I heard from a friend that there is actually a tomb behind the tomb that is a "mountain burial" , there is also an ancient tomb inside. It belonged to a high-ranking official in ancient times. Many tomb robbers came here, but there was no way to open it.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Shi was not really buried here, otherwise the unworthy man might have been buried here. What happened to the descendants!
