『Ancient rhyme Ruzhou 』——The "Spring Taoyuan" of the eight scenic spots of ancient Ruzhou
Liu Mengbo/Wen
Among the eight scenic spots of ancient Ruzhou, the "Spring Taoyuan" is ranked third. However, there have been many different opinions on where the old site of the scenic spot has been found. Looking at the book "Ruzhou Chronicle" in the Ming Dynasty, the introduction of "Spring Taoyuan" is quite detailed. Based on this, it is known that the scenery should be near Shitai Street, Yanglou Town today, and the ancient place name Taoyuan is still used locally. However, in the Qing Dynasty's chronicles, it is mostly called "Spring Taoyuan" in the Holy King, but the Holy King is in the northeast of the city of the city, and is near the town of Jiaocun. The eight scenic spots in ancient Ruzhou were actually the eight scenic spots in the west of Ru. Therefore, the former site of the scenic spot was definitely not in the Holy King. This is obviously a mistake caused by the lack of strict proofreading of the journals. The "Saint King" here should be the "Saint King Platform". There was a stone platform on Shitai Street, and the Tang King Temple was built on it, so it was also called the Saint King Platform.
Zhengde's "Ruzhou Chronicles·Ancient Sites" Volume 2 says: "Shitai is in Shitaibao, and there is a ruin of Tangwang Temple on it, but there is no examination."
Zhengde's "Ruzhou Chronicles·Ancient Sites" Volume 2 says: "Taoyuan is in Shitaibao, and there are many peach trees in the land. Later generations wrote a poem about the sentence "Thousands of beautiful Taoyuan in spring"."
Zhengde's "Ruzhou Chronicles·Scenery" Volume 3 says: "Taoyuan in spring is the Taoyuan recorded in the previous period. The strange flowers bloom in spring, hence the name. "
" Volume 1 of the "Ruzhou Quanzhi·Eight Scenerys in the West of the Zhou Dynasty" in the 34th year of the Kangxi reign says: "In spring, Taoyuan is in the Holy King. Peach blossoms are planted for several miles. Every March, the sight is gorgeous and all the trees are spring."
Shitai Street is about fifty miles east of Ruzhou city. It has a deep historical accumulation and is a famous village in a thousand-year-old history and culture. It traces the origin of the name of Shitai Street. It originated from Shitai County established in the third year of Xiaochang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (527), and was under the jurisdiction of Rubei County at that time. In the second year of Baoding (562), Emperor Wu of Zhou, , Northern Zhou, , was renamed Hezhou in Fuliucheng, and its capital was located in Fuliucheng (now Gucheng Village, Tianhu Town, Song County, Luoyang City, Henan Province), and under the jurisdiction of Yichuan County (under the jurisdiction of Nanluhu Hun County), Xincheng County (under the jurisdiction of Beiluhuhun County, Xincheng County), and Shitai County (under the jurisdiction of Shitai County, Liang County, and Ruyuan County). Therefore, Shitai Street once became the seat of Shitai County. After the abolition of Shitai County and Shitai County, the name Shitai was always used. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shitai Preservation was established in the local area, while the people commonly called Shitai Street or Shitai Town.
Now the beautiful scenery of Taoyuan in Shitai Street no longer exists, but in history, residents of the area planted peach trees. Every spring, peach blossoms bloom in full bloom, smiling, and petals are all over the branches, and a bright red area is like a beautiful sea of flowers. The literati and poets who came to appreciate the flowers and experience the pastoral scenery suddenly felt like they had entered the Peach Blossom Land. They recited poems and splashed ink, which was essential, leaving behind many famous works of popular poems for future generations.
Yuan·Zhang Zheng's "Spring Taoyuan": "The east wind is drizzling and the fresh sun is clear, and the morning sun is steaming and the clouds are bright. The infinite spring light cannot be stopped, and the red and green can be bright."
ming·-side should choose "Spring Taoyuan": "The east wind does not dissipate the sunny sky, and the bright clouds are rotting. Tell me where the fairy source is, every family's spring scenery is only by the wall."
ming·Zhang Weixin's "Spring Taoyuan": "Thousands of forests are red and the sunny sky is decorated with bright streams, which are particularly beautiful. It is not that the river is full of spring, and the wrong water is asking the fisherman. "
Ming. Anonymous "Spring Taoyuan": "The whole world is full of prosperity and drunkenness, and the endless beauty of the sky is made of heaven. Fang suspected that the poetry materials of the Xingyuan were left, and mistakenly recognized the crane cage in the plum garden. The wind stirred the ceiling like a knot, and the Qing Dynasty weaving brocades were like a drooping rainbow. The Donghuang can only add fat, and the Aunt Feng is not allowed to criticize the fallen red."
Qing Dynasty Anonymous "Spring Taoyuan": "I smile at the peak of the beauty, and who is the boundless spring color? Planted into Yao Island for three thousand years, and the twelve peaks of Tiantai were blooming. Liu Lang had known his face before, and the fisherman was lost again. The water flows and flowers bloom every year, and I don't know how many levels of the immortal source are separated."
