The Emperor's Fate of Mount Santai
The emperor's fate of Mount Santai: Mount Santai is not only a battlefield for ancient military strategists, but also a scenic resort; there are unexplainable myths and stories, and the indissoluble bond of generations of emperors!
Sima Qian's "Benji of Xiang Yu" in the Han Dynasty records: Xiang Yu, famous book, character Yu, and Xiangren under Qin Dynasty. The next phase is the city of Suqian today. The hometown of King Xiang in Wutong Lane, South Erli, Suqian City, was the birthplace of King Xiang Yu, king of Western Chu. After more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes of wind and rain, Xiang Wang, the hometown of King Xiang, is still lush and lush with branches and leaves. The Xiangjia ancient well in the courtyard is still bubbling with spring water, sweet and clear, attracting visitors to watch. The hometown of King Xiang faces Mount Santai, the city from the south to the North Vietnam. When he was a child, Xiang Yu used to go hunting in Mount Santai with his uncle Xiang Liang many times, leaving footprints and figures of martial arts practice on the mountain. Later, Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang attacked the Qin army in Jiangdong and overthrew the Qin dynasty. They passed through Mount Santai and left many legends here. On the hillside, there is still a "Overlord Pulling Down Well" and "Overlord Test Sword Stone". ", "Overlord Xiwutai" and other relics. Xiang Yu led his eight thousand children in Jiangdong to overthrow Qin's tyranny, established the Western Chu, and established Pengcheng as the capital. The imperial career was brilliant in five years. He has never defeated more than 70 battles in his lifetime. Later, although he was defeated by Liu Bang in the Chu-Han War and Wujiang killed himself, Xiang Yu's historical status is beyond doubt. "An article in this chronology is a historical pen, don't judge success or failure on heroes." Sima Qian has clearly written Xiang Yu and Liu Bang side by side in the "Historical Records" in the emperor chapter, which is enough to witness Xiang Yu's emperor position. At the same time, Xiang Yu’s heroic spirit and benevolent character are the pride and pride of Suqian people. Santai Mountain has also been known for thousands of years because of Xiang Yu’s cultural heritage.
In the Qing Dynasty, due to the opening of the Central Canal, the original Tongjing Avenue was changed from the west bank of the ancient Yellow River to the east bank of the Central Canal, from Suqian to the north through Santai Mountain, leading directly to Shandong and Kyoto. According to the "Records of Saint Zuren Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" and "Records of the Pure Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty", the two emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong had visited Suqian six times. In addition to taking the canal waterway, Santaishan Tongjing Avenue is the only way to go. For this reason, when the two emperors visited Santai Mountain, they also had more convenient access and mountaineering opportunities.
From 1684 (23rd year of Kangxi) to 1707 (47th year of Kangxi), Emperor Kangxi visited Suqian six times to visit Suqian, personally inspected and guided the Yellow River, Liutang River, and Luoma Lake in Suqian. In order to avoid the 180-mile shipping danger of the Yellow River, the middle canal was excavated from Xizhongjiazhuang in Huaiyin County to Yaowan in Suqian, leaving a glorious page in the history of water transportation. The Grand Canal is still the mother river of the people of Suqian, and it plays a huge role in water conservancy and shipping. Kangxi and his courtiers went up to Mount Santai several times to overlook the Luoma Lake and the Ancient Yellow River, admiring the scenery and discussing matters, and wrote poems to express his emotions. He wrote in the poem "Yuehe": "Huaihuang dredging fee management, trekking for three times without trouble. Several dikes were diligently planned, and the dealer succeeded in the waiting period." He saw Luoma Lake and Liutang River. A scene of a water village on both sides of the strait, casually chanted: "It is half a suburban village and half a water village, and the breeze will soon dawn and cool. Shaoguang and the southern kingdom have not given way, and the willow color along the embankment has been seen." "Suqian connects Taoyuan to the country, and sees the people in Zeguo. The guards are given the money, and there is no time to plan public opinion." Kangxi always worried about the people's food and clothing. When Kangxi returned to Beijing by boat from the Grand Canal at the foot of Mount Santai, he saw the beautiful scenery of Suqian and wrote a special song called "Yimaonan Touring the Rivers and Mountains": "Walking all over the water and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, willow flowers let out birds Mianman. The Ming dynasty entered Pixu Road again, and the Fengquelong Tower had a plan to pay."
In the 61st year of the reign of Kangxi, the biography was located in Yongzheng, and the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi was in Qianlong. Qianlong reigned for 60 years. From 1751 (sixteenth year of Qianlong) to 1784 (forty-nine year of Qianlong), he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Kangxi. He also visited Suqian six times and visited Suqian six times. The second station is Suqian Zaohe Dragon King Temple, Xiaodian Daying, Shunhe Daying and Yanghua Daying. Everywhere he goes, he likes to travel and write poetry and odes. In the minds of Suqian people, he seemed to be a playboy. In fact, Qianlong not only loved to travel and write poetry, but he was also an enlightened emperor in governing state affairs. During the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, it was called "the heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong" in history.
When Qianlong visited Suqian for the first time, he wrote "Entering the South of the Yangtze River": "Xueji enjoys different spring suburbs, but it will melt smoothly when entering the southern region of the Yangtze River. Although the other borders are different in this world, I will always be the same. I feel that the people’s feelings are more cordial. I love counseling officials to make the public. The officials of Jihe are the important patrols, and the famous places and places are embellished." At that time, Suqian belonged to Xuzhou Prefecture, and Huaiyin belonged to Jiangnan Road.
Qianlong made several imperial poems chanting the Anlan Dragon King Temple on the Zaohe River, chanting the Liutang River, Yongji Bridge and Luoma Lake, praising Suqian. He chanted in a poem "Composition in Suqian Dao": "While watching people show their righteous deeds, Ze Guo is not far away from Shaochen. Bi Yuji winds from his likes and dislikes to his neighbors. If he is supported by one term, why should he be police when he comes in and out. Frequent. The first thing is just like old knowledge, I am thinking about caring for people." Expressing care for the people, always thinking about people's livelihood in my heart. He wrote in a poem "Luo Ma Lake": "To help transport the heavens and protect the forests and secure the land. The camera is stored up, but the losses are saved. The township of Zhujiang in Zhoujiang, the water of the gulls in spring. Liutang Dongda The sea, eagerly miss people's livelihood."
Qianlong not only left more than 40 poems in Suqian, but also many beautiful stories and legends.
It is said that on one occasion, Qianlong was stationed in Daying Xiaodian, Suqian. Xiaodian was an ancient town at the foot of Mount Santai, less than two kilometers away from Mount Santai. Qianlong heard that there was a Bodhi Temple in Mount Santai, so he went to the temple to worship incense. It is said that Qianlong was not a faithful believer of Buddhism, so why should such small temples go to worship incense? Actually there is a reason here.
According to legend, Qianlong was not born by Emperor Yongzheng. Yongzheng had no children during his life. Later, his mother became pregnant and gave birth to a princess. Yongzheng was very unhappy. It just so happened that when the prime minister, Mrs. Chen Lin, gave birth to a baby boy, Yongzheng and his wife made a plan to ask Mrs. Chen to send the son to the palace to watch. Prime Minister Chen knew that this matter was not good for him, but he had to ask his wife to carry the son into the palace. After entering the palace, the empress replaced Mrs. Chen's son with a princess. When Mrs. Chen returned home and saw her son turned into a girl, she immediately reported to the Prime Minister to explain what happened. Prime Minister Chen persuaded his wife to keep quiet to avoid murder. The wife was so distressed that she hanged herself to death. Prime Minister Chen saw that his family was broken and he could not stay in the capital for a long time, so he wandered to the south in silence and became a monk. Qianlong grew up and succeeded the throne. Knowing his life experience, he missed his biological father very much. He made several private visits to the south to investigate people's conditions in name, and he was actually looking for his father. Therefore, whenever Qianlong visited the temple, he burned incense and worshiped the Buddha. Legend has it that Qianlong once went to Zaohe Longwang Temple to worship. The monks in the temple all knelt when seeing the emperor, but only one monk did not worship or kneel. Later, Qianlong ordered the abbot to gather the monks in the temple. Only the harmony had not yet come, and sent someone to shout. The monk replied: "Bacha do not worship the king." "Bacha" is the word for father. When Qianlong realized the meaning of this sentence, he looked for the monk again, and the monk had disappeared.
Qianlong paid homage to Bodhi Temple and visited Santai Mountain. Although the mountain is not high, it is very beautiful. Looking west from the mountain is the blue-water Luoma Lake, fishermen's songs and gulls hovering; the east is an expansive pastoral, willow green and pink. , The terraces are picturesque; looking south is the ancient city of Suqian, one is full of vitality, the Grand Canal goes south of the city, boats go to and fro, white sails. Qianlong was in love with the scene and exclaimed: "It's really good!" Then he chanted into a seven-laws "Mai": "I hope I will grow up from Jiyanhan, and see Xuhuai's green fields. The first benefit of spring is very plum and willow. Gradually, the Tibetan pheasant became a Tibetan pheasant in the next day, and now it wants to smoke. This is a thousand cakes and baits, and Yulin Chi rides and fills the ring." Since then, "the first benefit of the country and spring" has become synonymous with Suqian and has been widely circulated.
"Three sets of laughter and ball everywhere, from the ancient hero to return." Some people say that Mount Santai is a blessed place and a treasure, and this is true. Mount Santai Fuya; if not, how can there be so many emperors and leaders to visit here? Now Santai Mountain is shaking off the dust of history, and a bright smile is emerging. Santai Mountain is opening her enthusiastic arms with her unique style and infinite charm, welcoming friends from all over the world to come for sightseeing.
