The prose of Jingcheng rain and river water
The tree-sandwiched stone path passes through the pavilion and goes straight to the east gate of the park. All the way, branches and leaves brush the wooden fence, and the fence is next to the lake. In my eyes, this section of the lake in the center of Jingcheng is the "Bianhe River".
If you follow the stone road in the opposite direction, you will see the end of the lake. I don't know whether the water was stopped by the city here and turned north, or whether the water from the north came. Sometimes the end is often used as the starting point for returning. "Sand and stone" is standing in the water at the beginning.
I thought Shashi was named after this stone, but later I knew it was called Jiangjin in ancient Chu, and Shatou City in Tang Dynasty, or Shashi and Shajin. Tianjin is a ferry, and the waterway is rushing. In ancient times, the river was connected with Hanshui and Changhu, but now it is only the water in one city.
The "sand stone" is said to have been collected by Zhang Keqian, assistant minister of the Ministry of War during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. Later generations moved to Bianhe to build a platform and stood in the water in the late Qing Dynasty. The stone is about two meters high, and people say that it looks like a golden monkey dressing. It seems to me that the urban changes of more than a hundred years since the late Qing Dynasty have made it feel lost in thought by touching its head with its hands.
The light from the telescreen in the distance shoots into the lake, pushing up a golden ripple and touching the meditative shadow of the "stone monkey" on the east coast. At this moment, the ancient and the modern meet in the water. The water here is near the south gate of the park, and it gathers into a semicircle, passing by the standing "sand stone" and pointing to the north.
It's a little dark because it's rainy. If it's sunny, you can see a boat swimming on the lake. When the rain wets the earth and follows the lake to the north, you will see an ink painting scroll. The building is slightly shaded, and the mirror water reflects the trees. Who ordered a watercolor between the lush forests, and the glass turned up and turned golden, and that golden place is Spring and Autumn Pavilion. This pavilion, built in the Qing Dynasty, was destroyed by fire and then rebuilt. It was named Spring and Autumn Pavilion because Guan Yu read the Spring and Autumn Annals at night, which undoubtedly added a very elegant atmosphere to this vivid military commander.
it's February, Mr. Chunqiu, Yurun Meirui. At the beginning of the spring breeze, willow buds were cut, and an even older figure, "Sun Shuao", was still sleeping on the lakeside slope. This Chu Zhuangwang-era Ling Yin has a noble character and outstanding achievements. Historical Records "The Fifty-ninth Biography of Officials" records: "March is the Chu phase, teaching the people, harmony between the upper and lower, secular beauty …", and "Taishi Gong said: Sun Shuao made a word, and the city recovered", which shows that it has a good governance. There were many floods in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Sun Shuao was also a master of water control. Besides Huaihe River, he also controlled water in Jiangling.
Today's Bianhe River churns up the heavy historical precipitation, and the fine waves in the rain turn a small corner next to Spring and Autumn Pavilion and spread silently to the west.
the water is connected to the bridge, and the bridge is connected to the water. I stand on the stone bridge in the garden and look east. The water potential is from wide to narrow, flowers bloom early in spring, and the forest shore is sandwiched with water, from far to near. A thrush swept towards the branches, and the lake rippled little by little. "It's raining in Shashi, and the flowers in the palace are faint." When Lu You came, he left the eternal poem "First Arriving in Jingzhou".
The word "Zhu" in the poem means land in the water. Zhu Palace was built by King Chu Cheng. Now it is located in Jiangdu Palace in Shashi District, Jingzhou, but there is no trace of it. I guess the waterway in Gusha City is complicated, and now the street names in the city are also related to Otawa water, such as Jiangjin, Jianghan, Tower Bridge, Changgang and so on.
In the rain, the garden looks lonely. There are a few boats moored under the bridge, but there is no sign of the boatman. Then the river quietly passes through the hole of "Ling Bo Bridge" and flows from narrow to wide into the waters of Jiangjin Lake. Perhaps in the eyes of Shashi people today, Jiangjin Lake is the Bianhe River, and Bianhe is also Jiangjin Lake.
It was raining again, and I saw someone coming from Pinghu Bridge with an umbrella. Pinghu Bridge is actually a zigzag stone bridge. The bridges here have different shapes and characteristics.
People climb the semi-circular "Moon-looking Bridge" to the west, and then there is a suspension bridge with iron cables sandwiched between two pavilions. This bridge is called "Chufeng Bridge". When people come up and go down, they look up and see the faint bamboo forest. They only walk in the light there, and when they get out of the forest, they will suddenly be enlightened. After passing the twelve scenic monuments of Jiangjin Lake, people will jump to the bluestone of Ta 'er Bridge in three or two steps.
The water from the east has been shaded by branches and leaves, covered with cloisters, old tiles and small jasper-like courtyards. It seems that it has just passed the porch, and in a blink of an eye, the waves push and surge, and it goes straight to the north open space.
if it's June, you can see the lotus pond with oblique angle in the north, with low leaves, green stems and straight stems, and the new pistils are blooming, blushing for the clouds. But at this time, the lotus pond is still a piece of water, without lotus, but it is more wide.
Although it is early spring, the wind and rain are a little urgent. Perhaps, only in the wind and rain can we get a glimpse of the earlier waves of the river.
The ancient Bianhe River can be traced back to the time when Sun Shuao of Chu ruled Jiangling, and the earliest artificial canal was dug: the Yangshui Canal, which is also called "Yunmeng Tongqu", also known as "Chu Canal" and "Zixudu".
Yunmengze is located in the area from Shashi to Jingmen Shayang today. According to records, "Sun Shu dared qu shui to reach the field of Yunmengze", and qu shui is a tributary of the Yangtze River, that is, qu shui, a tributary of the Yangtze River, irrigated Yunmengze and reached the Hanshui River, dredging the waterway. Records of the Historian, The Book of Rivers and Channels says: "In Chu, the west is connected with the Hanjiang River, and the field of Yunmengze". The northwest of Jingcheng is "Ying", and now Jinan Town, that is, south of Jishan, connects Shayang to the north of Jishan, about a hundred miles from Jingcheng. However, the historical textual research is also quite controversial, and the complexity of geography can't be shown for the time being. Let's talk about the destruction of Chu by Qin, the decline of Ying capital and the re-blocking of waterways. Until the Western Jin Dynasty, Du pre-excavated the "Yangxia Canal" and resumed the waterway. Xia refers to the ancient "summer water", and the Notes on Water Classics notes: "Summer water comes out of Jiangjin", so Shashi was also called "summer head" in ancient times, and the water came out of nowhere. Later, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dun: "Cut the Caohe River to connect Jianghan North and South".
I guess it's from the vicinity of Shashi to the east gate of ancient Yingdu. The east gate of Yingdong has never been to Jinan Town, but it was called "Longmen" in Chu, because the river dug by Wang Dun is also called "Bianhe" and "Longmen River". Now it is estimated that there should be dozens of miles, not this small lake in the city.
The rain gradually stopped, and the wind gradually stopped. A wild duck floated in the lake and suddenly plunged into the water. In an instant, the spray turned up, which seemed to open history.
The Bianhe River in the rain is not like that on a sunny day. The willows brush the shore, the bridges are clear and the waves are shining. Whoever cuts the ripples of spring water, a small boat flies away.
instead, it brought some billowing waves, vaguely rolling like a river. I think this shows that it was originally the ancient momentum of boundless water connecting the dragon gate. When the wind and rain passed, the water slowly became flat again.
It seems that from the ancient wildness to the cradle of civilization, in the gentle shaking of nature, the lake after the rain in the early spring of the water country is composed.
The city is surrounded by water, and the water is surrounded by gardens. The misty rain obscures the distant buildings and houses, and faintly outlines the geometric mountains of the city. A little closer, a thread of Hui ink stained the lake and the shadows of trees, pavilions, cornices, and umbrellas on the stone bridge ...
"When the river is wet and rainy, the dumplings are soft, and the lonely hills are shallow." At this moment, Tang poetry has become a river after the rain, and the time and description of Jingcheng water.
I'm going east with the water. Come to the "Bianhe Bridge", because Bianhe River is Longmen River, this bridge is also called "Longmen Bridge", with nine holes crossing the bridge and crossing the water from north to south.
On the bridge, you can see the Bianhe Square in the center of the city, which used to be the water area of Bianhe River. In ancient times, boats and sails sailed on it, and it was called "Bianhe Yuan". Now the Bianhe Bridge is also moved from there. Although the rebuilt bridge lacks the long and vicissitudes of Ming and Qing Dynasties, it still has a long ancient charm.
The river of history has a long history. "A thousand years' criticism is repeated, and a river is full of wind and rain." Today, the Bianhe River is more like a clear stream of memories, flowing among the buildings and trees in Jingcheng.
Bianhe, which means the river of convenience. It was built for the convenience of connecting the Guyang Water Canal, and later generations took the homonym and called it "Bianhe", which connected a legend based on history.
The general idea is that Bian He, a Chu man, was given a gift from Jingshan Mountain, and he was called Baoyu. After two kings, he didn't believe it and cut off his feet. Bian He wept at Jingshan Mountain, and later King Wen of Chu believed in it, and took the jade from it and carved it into a "wall of harmony", which is famous all over the world. Canon "everything is done wrong. And".
Later generations drew Bian He's tears into a river, which was called Bian River. Now some people in Jingchu have written Bian River, and the sad legend seems to have ancient ripples in the water, which spread in circles and disappeared into the invisible.
I don't know when the rain began to drip again. Looking back at the river, people are drifting away ...
When I get home, it's getting late, listening to the rain and hitting the window, looking back on this trip. When it rains in Jingcheng, it flows into the river, so I wrote a poem to remember it, saying,
The river in Longmen is profane, and it is very unusual to meet the temple of Wuhou.
Plum blossoms sigh the dream of emperors, and the spring lake remains in Jingzhou for grazing.
The boat in Zhugong was moored in Jiangjin late, and Jade and Shi wept in the green hills.
accumulated sand is a thousand years' journey, and worries about wind and rain kill pillow books.
End, March 1st, Ding Younian.
Note: Xiang means Sun Shuao, which means meeting again.
Wuhou, Guan Yu once dreamed of being an emperor in the pavilion of Hanshou
, which refers to the plot of Wang Dun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Jingzhou was a shepherd in Jingzhou, Wang Dun, and it was also stabbed on five products. Jingzhou not only refers to Jiangling City, but also is a "continent". In ancient China, Yu was divided into nine continents. Wang Dun can see that it was built by Zhu Palace in the Jin Dynasty, and later it was inhabited by Qu Yuan.
