Classmate Sanqing came to the hostel early in the morning and asked me what I was going to do. If you want to take some photos in the ancient city of Jingzhou, I will say to Sanqing, then you can stroll around the ancient city, and you can put me anywhere in the east gate. So Sanqing sent me to the entrance of the new East Gate wall. I got off the bus and looked up. Standing in front of me is the stone tablet of Jiangling Monument Garden. Looking in, there is an antique yard in the distance, with a few gold words on it that say the former residence of Zhangmen. I visited Zhang, and then I really realized that you can't find a place in your shoes. You can find it easily. You make couplets, I will definitely add couplets.
Who is Zhang? Maybe many friends don't know me and may not know him, because he is far less famous than Guan Gong. Usually, I like to read books and history series such as emperors and generals, and I have only a little knowledge of Zhang. Zhang, a native of Jiangling, Hubei Province, also known as Zhang Jiangling, whose real name is Taiyue, whose name is Wenzhong, posthumous title. If you have been to Dingling Underground Palace in the Ming Tombs, you must know that the 13th Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was buried there. Zhang is the teacher and meeting record of the broken emperor, and his official position is equivalent to that of today's Premier the State Council. In addition, Zhang also has a famous contemporary historical figure named Harry. Well, Zhang is almost younger than Harry. Although his official position, Bihari, according to Zhang's name today, has always been called Harry's brother.
Zhang Zai has two official residences. One is at Hufang Bridge in Xuanwu District. As the saying goes, tea cools people, not to mention being later labeled as a historical counter-revolutionary by the student emperor. Property and confiscation are certain. Its official residence changed hands several times and was finally transferred to Zeng Guofan, becoming the Huguang Guild Hall. It is said that after the success of the Revolution of 1911, Dr. Sun Yat-sen visited Huguang Hall many times, presided over the founding meeting of the Kuomintang here, and finally converted it into a Peking Opera Museum, which also made the best use of it.
There is a saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but don't forget another proverb, the earth is the king of the world. Although Zhang Jingzhou's former residence is far from the imperial city of Beijing, its fate is similar to that of Beijing's official residence. Walking into the gate of Zhang's former residence, there is an inscription on the front wall of Zhang's former residence reconstruction. Inscription as evidence: Zhang's former residence, a bachelor of Chinese Department of Cabinet Office in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, is located in the ancient city of Dongseto, Jingzhou, with well-documented history. The family was ruined, the property was confiscated, the children and grandchildren were separated, and the former residence was deserted. It is said that it was converted into a residential building and became a temporary resting place for former officials. After the Qing dynasty, the eastern part of the city wall was changed to the Eight Banners garrison camp, which lasted for nearly 300 years. The old house in the original site has gradually become an abandoned swamp, pavilion, abandoned pool and abandoned hospital. Ding revolution, flag camp collapsed, houses were destroyed, families were destroyed and people died; After the Japanese invaders invaded China, the local area was repeatedly poisoned by war, and the old house disappeared. The original site was once leveled as an airport, and later changed to wheat ridges and vegetable fields. During this period, prosperity and desolation alternate, which is indescribable.
It's not over yet. The inscription goes on to record: after liberation, everything has taken on a new look, the old appearance of the ancient city has taken on a new look, and cultural relics are in the grand plan of protection and construction. Especially since the new era, the elders of the old garden and the local villagers who traveled in Taiwan Province, taking care of their feelings, specially built a monument garden in the former site of Zhang's former residence Nanyuan, and used famous collectors.
Walk into the first courtyard of the gate, facing Taiyue Hall, and on the left is Taishiju. In the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang left Beijing for his hometown to bury his father. A surnamed Zhang returned to Jingzhou and lived in his bedroom. As he presided over the court affairs, all the court affairs at that time soon spread to Jingzhou, where Zhang presided over the court affairs for 47 days.
In a sense, Taitang is more like He Qiao, an mpa adjunct professor at Zhang Taiyan Memorial Hall. There are couplets on both sides of the door. A man is the emperor's teacher, and his shoulders can bear everything that happens in the world. There is a plaque above the door, and there are four characters in the hall: Li Zhi, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, rated Zhang as an outstanding prime minister. On the surrounding walls, there are Jingzhou prodigy's first political career, three-year holiday, promotion step by step, record first, determination to reform and so on.
I have read several books that Zhang is a handsome man with a beautiful face and a long belly. Unfortunately, there was no camera at that time, and it is still a question mark whether the white portrait painted is like him, but there is a saying that is good, exactly. After reading the handwriting on a stone tablet, I really believe that he must be a handsome boy.
According to legend, Zhang built a mansion in Jingzhou for a reason. Shortly after Li Xiaowan acceded to the throne, the records of Gao Gong were expelled, Gao Yi died, and there were no working people in the cabinet, only Zhang's cabinet member Lu. The little emperor Zhu Yijun is resourceful. He presented certificates to two teachers, and presented a book to Zhang: Chen Liang and Lu Diaoyang were assistant administrators.
To this end, Zhang wrote a report on imperial books to the little emperor. We are willing to copy every copy into the catalpa tree and hang it on the first plaque, so that it will always be a treasure of the world. We will build a building in memory of Chen Han and ask the little emperor to give him the title of new building. When the emperor was happy, he not only planned to inscribe the names of "Yangyang Building" and "Pure Heart Loyalty Hall" on the imperial title, but also presented him with two big letters of imperial books, a pair of couplets, a plum blossom and a boat trip. In addition, he specially gave 1200 yuan's Royal Silver, which saved the labor cost. I have to admire the cunning of the teacher and the ignorance of the students, but I want to say: ginger is still old and spicy.
There are several gardens in Zhang's former residence, in front of which is the West Garden. The park is lush, tree-lined, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and a rare waterwheel. Although it is not as big as the imperial garden of the Forbidden City, it is really quiet and comfortable.
Through the north gate of Xiyuan, this is Zhang Wenzhong Temple. When Zhang was alive, he built the Fayuan Temple in Shideqing to worship his ancestors. From Zhang's great-grandson to Gongmiao. There is a couplet engraved at the door, which has been like this for thousands of years. It is said that this is how many years later Emperor Kangxi commented and affirmed Zhang's words.
In the ancestral hall, there are statues one after another. Just then, a few tourists came. They lit incense and kowtowed. The decoration of the staff is more like a Taoist in a Taoist temple. Every time a pilgrim knocks on his head, he knocks on the jar with the word Buddha printed on it and says a blessing, just like a Buddhist temple.
Behind the ancestral temple is Wenchang Pavilion, and there is a leafy tree in the yard called Wishing Tree. The sign under the tree reads: This tree is called Ligustrum lucidum, which was planted by Zhang himself when he was young. According to legend, on the eve of Zhang, Sheng and Zhang dreamed that a white turtle came to see the moon. After Zhang was born, his grandfather built a turtle pond in Wenchang Pavilion, and then asked Zhang to plant the tree himself to protect the turtle. After that, Zhang was promoted repeatedly, and the locals called him a sacred tree. When people have any wishes, they will come to the sacred tree, hang a blessing belt and go to Wenchang Pavilion.
One thing is certain to be true, that is, the local people respect him as a literary star. I believe this, even if I am not superstitious, because I just saw Master Zhang's introduction in Taiyue Hall: I entered school at the age of two, read at the age of five, studied classics, righteousness and six classics at the age of ten, won the first place after having obtained the provincial examination at the age of sixteen, and was a second-rate scholar at the age of twenty-three. You should know that Fan Jinzhong went in and out three times, and his beard turned white. Is Pu Songling knowledgeable? I was old enough to write Turtle Pond, but when I was 72 years old, I almost sacrificed myself, so I got a tribute student, half a grade lower than Juren.
In fact, Zhang's former residence was rebuilt on the basis of Jiangling Monument Garden, so there are many inscriptions on the walls around the courtyard, which can be said to be the treasure of the art of inscription and the handwriting of many celebrities. I took this photo because there is an idle bamboo chair on the ground floor of every apartment, which reminds me of the seat position of row 108 in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.
I like this Zhang Chu Soul Map, vigorous and powerful. While thinking about these two words, I thought of the story that the tour guide overheard just now: Zhang sponsored nine censors during the political reform, all of whom were fellow villagers in Hubei. They severely punished corrupt officials and made great achievements in reforming the political style. Those corrupt officials who were punished were dissatisfied. They cursed the nine birds in the sky and the Hubei guy underground. In fact, it is a Hubei guy like Zhang who has made the soul of Chu through the ages.
Speaking of tour guides, I learned later that you can really invite a tour guide to visit your former residence. When visiting Taiyue Temple, a female tour guide explained. I thought it was free, so I followed her closely and asked many questions on my own initiative. At the beginning, she also treated me as a guest and answered me warmly and seriously. Her guests walked slowly, and when they arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, only she and I were left. I have been asking questions. She felt something was wrong, so she asked, where is your friend? When I didn't, I didn't respond. I told the truth: I came alone and I didn't have any friends! Suddenly, dark clouds covered her face and she left.
My reaction is to slap my head and scold myself. Why did teacher Zhang look up and tell her: My friend is in the back, and he will come soon?
