Nangong Monument, namely "Rebuilding Nangong County Records" Monument. In ancient times, there was a county school in Nangong, which was originally built in the north of the old city, near Gong Xue, Jizhou. Historical records show that in Chenghua 14 (A.D. 1478), the old town of Zhangweihe was flooded and the county school was destroyed. Ming Chenghua 17 Chun Xue Palace moved to the north of the middle section of Xincheng East Street in Feifenggang, and was named Confucian Temple. After that, 16 from Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty to 15 from Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, and 13 from Guangxu,1rebuilt 12 times. At that time, it was supervised by Li Fudi, the magistrate of Nangong County, Zhang Fengxiang, a five-product official of Nangong County in Yan 'an, and Sun Changtai, a four-product official of Guangxu County. Li Fudi, the magistrate of a county, invited Zhang Yuzhao, a famous scholar and calligrapher at that time, to come to Nangong to write an inscription and engrave the book Rebuilding Nangong County. The monument has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province, which has high cultural relic value and calligraphy research value, especially in Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
Nangong county Xue
When it comes to Nangong Monument, we must mention Nangong County School. According to the literature, county study, also known as Confucianism, is also known as Confucian Temple. That is, the Confucius Temple, during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, ordered all counties and counties in the world to set up Confucius Temple. Temples and schools should be built at the same time, and they must be built together. So it is also called "temple learning" or "learning temple". Therefore, the inscription on the county school tablet reads "Rebuilding Nangong County School Record", and the seal on the tablet crown is "Rebuilding Nangong Confucian Temple". As for the Nangong Confucian Temple, I don't know when it was built. The original historical site is in the north city root of the old city, near Gong Xue, Jizhou. In the 14th year of Ming Chenghua (1478), Zhangwei River flooded the old city and the county school was destroyed. In the seventeenth year of Ming Chenghua (148 1), he moved to the former site of Nangong Middle School in Dongjie, which is now the municipal government compound. So Confucian Temple or County School is the predecessor of our school. At that time, county schools were also educational institutions, with instructions and instructions. Judging from the inscriptions, the imperial edict is five grades, which is higher than the county magistrate. It can be seen that the Qing government at that time also paid more attention to education.
Rebuilding Nangong County Records
Nangong County School has been moved to the present city since the seventeenth year of Chenghua, and then rebuilt in Hongzhi and Jiaqing of the national dynasty. It has been a bit rotten in the past hundred years. The county magistrate ordered the Yi people in Li Junhe to re-plan and repair it, and it took only one year to complete it. Writing a book is Zhao Yu's business.
Zhao Yu only rules the world with talents, and talents must come from learning. However, today's scholars learn the text of the imperial examination. Ming Taizu has taken people by art for hundreds of years, but its disadvantages are extremely serious. The scholar's hair bundles and books are all devoted to this. If it is longer, there will be a secretary to recite it. Therefore, there are many people who hunt for high positions and show officials. There are hundreds of classics, and the author of the book has never known why. Emperors, ministers, celebrities and scholars of past dynasties can't even mention their people: national ceremony, taxation, military system and criminal law, but they can't answer hundreds of questions; The territory of provinces, counties and counties does not distinguish which side; I don't know the name of the four generations tribute league. Humble and humble people, their hearts become vulgar and contemptuous, they can see in their eyes, and they are arrogant and arrogant. The so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are unparalleled. Ah! Serve China and foreign countries together with others, the official is the country and the people send it. What is the reason for giving birth to people? Why are you fearless at home and abroad? Moreover, the court took the legislation of scholars as the starting point, and also wanted to learn from Confucius and Mencius, a group of scholars in the world, in order to check their situation, and also wanted to learn from the classics and strategies of various philosophers, so it was not the same. Scholars sincerely seek the truth one by one and put it into practice. His learning is solid and self-sufficient, that is, he wants to be a teacher, not necessarily from the common people. However, the disadvantages of people who learn from each other lie in people's hearts, and no one can inspire them. Scholars do not advance their ambitions, and changing customs is nothing more than a gentleman taking the initiative to serve the world. Today I studied Confucianism, and I won a man with lofty ideals. I can be ashamed of vulgarity, but I can't live in ignorance. Resolutely resist learning to be honest and practical in order to advocate his disciples.
Like each other, like each other, wet water and dry fire, determined, prosperous people. From a person to a city, a city to the world, the change of wind direction and the enthusiasm of talents are immeasurable.
Ha ha! Kyushu is a big country, and only one or two heroes are interested in it. Today's Nangong is near Gideon, and Muze swam to the original place. The country where Nangongzi was born is also a country. There should be people who are prosperous. Is there anyone who has risen from the smell? Then Li Jun's service is sincere, not without benefits.
Confucian temple
From the sixteenth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1503) to the fifteenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (18 10), it experienced twelve reconstructions. The renovation in the 11th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty was the 13th renovation after the relocation of the Confucian Temple. The reconstruction was carried out under the direct leadership of Li Fudi, the county magistrate, and lasted for two years. Heavy workload and great momentum. The donation list on the back of the monument is enough to illustrate this point. So I want to invite famous people at that time to write inscriptions. Song Chenbi, a gentleman from Nangong, found a famous literary writer through his friend Li Meisheng. At this time, Zhang Yuzhao is 64 years old, and he is a professor who gives lectures and studies ancient halls in Baoding Lianchi Academy. Zhang Yuzhao attaches great importance to this. After the first draft was drawn up, it was given to Wu Zhifu (Wu Rulun), who was also one of the four disciples of Zengmen. He said in the letter: "I wrote a" Nangong County Records "and sent it to you, which is correct. Old age is exhausting, and there is nothing we can do about it. Please add the batch immediately and throw it to the messenger. This is a text that shows stones to future generations. Fortunately, you told me frankly and don't mention it. " After the inscription was engraved, he wrote a second letter to Wu Zhifu, which said, "His tablet was engraved by Li Meisheng and Mr. Nangong Song, asking him to spread out 500 pieces of paper for me and telling the workers to carve it carefully." This shows that he is extremely satisfied with the inscription he wrote.
inscription on a tablet
The epigraph of Rebuilding Nangong County Annals is exquisite, exquisitely carved and beautifully written, which has reached a high level in both ideological content and calligraphy, and has indeed left a valuable wealth to future generations. Zhang Yuzhao was born in the late Qing Dynasty. At this time, the Qing government was constantly at home and abroad, and the national crisis was unprecedented. Although he followed Zeng Guofan to suppress the peasant uprising and maintain the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty, he, like other intellectuals, worked hard to learn western capitalism, carried out social reforms, and embarked on a road of strengthening the country. He is an active supporter of Kang and Qian's political reform. Zhang Yuzhao put forward at the beginning of the inscription: "The rule of the world lies in talents, and talents must come from learning." Then he lashed out at the imperial examination system, which destroyed and bound talents, with sharp pen, forceful language and irrefutable facts. It is pointed out that the imperial examination system has been "hundreds of years, and its disadvantages are extremely serious". The purpose of implementing the imperial examination system is to "learn from Confucius and Mencius to stop it". It has also been pointed out that the talents trained in this way will only harm the country and the people without useful knowledge. Calling for "learning Confucianism" can "rise by smell", then "the change of wind direction makes the enthusiasm of talents immeasurable" It took courage at that time to be able to point the finger at the imperial examination system followed by the feudal ruling class for many years and vigorously advocate educational innovation. Judging from today's educational reform and quality education, there is still something we can learn from.
From the point of view of calligraphy, this inscription is the work of Zhang Yuzhao in his later years, and he has become more skilled in using pen and structure. Its word structure is tight and strict, the foreign side is round, the stippling is vigorous, the lines are beautiful and smooth, not only the facial muscles and bones are integrated inside, but also the rich beauty is displayed outside, and the frame structure is seamless, forming a unique artistic style. Its fonts are called "Six Dynasties Style" or "Nangong Monument Style" and "Zhang Yuzhao Style". In particular, its unique inner ring and outer ring are loved by many calligraphers and calligraphy lovers. Before the July 7th Incident, the rubbings of learning steles had been popular all over the country, even overseas. Calligraphers and epigraphy collectors in Beijing and Shanghai regard it as a treasure and compete to buy temporary collections. At that time, Hong Chu's rubbings were particularly precious together with historical papers. During the period of 1920- 1930, there was a "Zhang Yuzhao fever", and there are still many calligraphers writing the Nangong tablet. Especially in Japan and Southeast Asia, Nangong Monument is famous for Mr. Nohachi Miyajima, a famous Japanese calligrapher and a disciple of Zhang Yuzhao. Zhang Yuzhao Calligraphy Research Association was established in Japan. After 1984, Japanese calligraphy circles have sent delegations to pay their respects twice. 1in the autumn of 988, the first international symposium on calligraphy in Zhang Yuzhao was held in Nangong, attended by a delegation led by Fumihiko Yamamura.
Panshui bridge side
The Nangong Xue Ji Monument was originally located at the Panshui Bridge of the Confucian Temple in the east street of the county seat, with a monument and a wooden shed door. I have been taken good care of by teachers and classmates on campus. Before the July 7th Incident, in the battle to expel the rogue Wang Dongpo, the monument was shot by mistake, resulting in the destruction of characters and people's lives. During the Cultural Revolution, the "rebels" demolished the monument and knocked it down in the name of "breaking capitalism". Fortunately, Wang, an old employee of Nangong Middle School, protected the monument and survived. 1after the closure of Nangong Middle School at the end of 968, the school site became the residence of the county revolutionary committee. 1969, Wang reflected the value of this monument to the leaders and Zhao Anfang at that time through his good friend Liu Lucang, and then rebuilt it. 1971March, rewi alley, a New Zealand educator and social activist, passed by the Nangong and saw the monument, calling it an important cultural relic with great value, which once again attracted the attention of the County Revolutionary Committee and moved it to the front desk of the original temple to erect it. 1982 was designated as a key cultural relics protection unit by Hebei provincial government on July 23rd. In February, 200 1 year, under the direct care of the leaders of the municipal party Committee, he moved to the southeast corner of the central garden of Nangong Middle School. The school invested160,000 yuan to build a double-story cornice octagonal antique tablet pavilion, which restored this century-old precious cultural relic in education and added a beautiful landscape to the campus. Today, Xianxuebei, together with the founder of the pavilion in the northeast corner of the Central Garden and the bronze statue of Juren Qi in the late Qing Dynasty, tells people about the rich history of Nangong Middle School and inspires generations of Nangong students to study hard for the prosperity of the country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
