Old photos of Lu' an

In the internet age, I was lucky enough to find an old photo of Zhangjiaxiang ancient city from a picture shared by an unfamiliar netizen. Although the definition of the photo is low, the background of the picture makes me very excited. The ancient city gate with the word "Lu 'an" embedded in it, the towering white tower on the mountain, and the primitive camel team carrying supplies. I feel homesick when I see trees, but I love my country when I meet cultural relics. Love in my hometown, old photos, are closely affecting my heart.

This photo must have been a rare luxury in those days. In the era of poverty and weakness, in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain, where traffic is blocked, it is really an honor and blessing for this yellow land to take and cherish such a picture! Today, it is still enough for her descendants to see the leopard and appreciate the life atmosphere of Lu' an period where our ancestors lived.

Cameras, films, photographic equipment and photos are undoubtedly imported from old China. Thanks to the passing of this photo, we can travel through time and space to restore the quaint figure of the old gate of Lu' an House. Qiugu Mountain and the towering White Pagoda jointly protect the outstanding land at the foot of the mountain. However, behind the strange transport camel team is the hardships of a generation of merchants who have made a name for themselves through the ages.

I put this photo on the Internet, and many friends in my circle of friends called or left messages to contact me: Gu Shan of Guta should be Tanao Mountain in the east of Nanshicao Village, right? Indeed, the White Pagoda stands on the mountain on the east side of Changzhi City, which is commonly known as Tanao Mountain today. However, for a long time, this mountain range and the Laoding Mountain next to it have another name: Qiugu Mountain and Baigu Mountain. Just as Changzhi once had another title: Lu 'an (Luzhou).

As early as 900 years ago, this ancient pagoda was written by Yuan Haowen, a great writer known as "Northern Xiong Wen" and "a generation of literati". It can be inscribed for this pagoda:

Luzhou has lived like a state for a long time, but it can't remain free.

Three miles from Baita, turn several times on the east bank of Zhanghe River.

There is a well-known lyric in the popular song "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms": Ask what the world is like and teach people to commit themselves to life and death. The source of this lyric comes from Yuan Haowen, a great writer in Xinzhou, Shanxi, during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. At the age of fourteen, he followed his father Tai and went to lingchuan county as Lingchuan County Magistrate. During Lingchuan, I studied under Hao Jinqing, a learned man born in an educational family. Yuan Haowen is smart, witty, diligent and considerate. Under the guidance of the master, Yuan Haowen soon became a great man. Because Lingchuan is adjacent to Luzhou, Yuan Haowen once lived in Luzhou for a long time.

Yuan Haowen (1 190 ~ 1257), a great writer, wrote the poem "The White Pagoda is 30 miles graceful, and the east bank of Zhanghe River looks back several times", describing the towering ancient pagoda in the photo. This shows that at the latest in the early Yuan Dynasty, this tower was already a landmark building in Luzhou City. Yuan Haowen's "Yuan Zhen Shan Ji" left many poems related to Luzhou.

At that time, there was also the title of Qiugushan. When did Qiu Gushan's name come into being? Because I don't have an earlier professional chronicle to help me cite written materials to prove it. But in Luzhou District of Changzhi City, what about the "Wencun Village in Luzhou District" announced by CPPCC? Roll it up? It records Autumn written by Meng Li, a native of Luzhou in Yuan Dynasty. Can be used as textual research.

In the long river of history, Li Meng is the leader of southeast Shanxi and the pride of Changzhi people. In the meteoric years of Yuan Dynasty, Li Meng was a brilliant figure in the world. "Yuan history? Biography 62? Li Mengchuan: "Li Meng, whose name is Daofu, is a Shangdang in Luzhou. Meng Tiansheng is quick-witted and ambitious. Learn and remember through history. Yuan Renzong conferred the title of King of Qin, ordered the Bachelor's College to lower the system, and made a drawing, which was praised by the minister, and the imperial book "Autumn Valley" was printed.

Obviously, Li Mengzhi's achievements are remarkable and unusual, and he can get Yuan Renzong's generous love.

"Luzhou Wencun" introduces Li Meng like this.

Li Meng (1255 ~ 132 1), word Daofu,No. Qiugu. Luzhou Shangdang people. At the beginning of greatness, Shi Renzong lived in the palace, and Chen said the right way and gained more benefits. The establishment of Meng has the credit of planning. As an heir, Yuan Renzong worships Zhongshu as a government and takes national affairs as his own responsibility. Li Meng entered the Chinese Book three times in his life and won the title of lord protector three times. Be an honest official and ask the prime minister to cloth. Feng Weiguo, history of Wenzhong.

In the ruling and opposition, Meng Li has a high prestige.

Li Meng wrote in the poem "Chu Shi to Huang Qiujiang":

You catch the autumn river and the moon, I plow the autumn valley clouds,

The fugitive monarch laughed at me and ate with me to humiliate you.

Like his friend Huang Qiujiang (Huang Cheng), the title of Autumn Valley held by Meng Li is also named after the landscape of her hometown because of the plot of her hometown. Autumn Valley, Qiu Jiang, very poetic. Li Meng likes the name Qiugu very much. According to records, Li Meng is from Nanshan, Luzhou District, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. Nanshantou, located 8 miles southeast of Gulufu, is located on the hill east of Nanshantou Village, where the word "autumn valley" is inscribed on the cliff, which is said to be Mo Bao in Li Meng.

It can be inferred that the title of Qiugushan existed for a long time before the Yuan Dynasty. Li Meng, named Qiugu, has a strong hometown plot. According to its celebrity effect, the name of Qiugu can be further promoted.

Compared with Chen Tingjing and Wu Dian, two other famous figures in Shangdang area in Qing Dynasty, Li Meng was recognized by his contemporaries in government and opposition. In the Yuan Dynasty, many scholars wrote poems praising Li Meng. Zhao Mengfu's Song Xuezhai Anthology? Pingzhang Li Xianghong Ten Rhymes

Dry yuan brings good luck, and the Lord is a good minister

The Portrait of Dan Qingbing, the title of which depicts the truth.

The spring palace inherits the old and the autumn valley has a new name.

Help the Japanese climb the imperial pole, and the country will praise you.

Fu Shuo should be a star in the dry chicken industry.

Serving the country is not selfish, and you don't care about your health when you meet time.

Whoever moves the son of heaven will see you again today.

The first poem is effective and vulgar.

May Chen return to his good pleasure and turn chanting Buddha into chanting Buddha.

The famous poet Zhang wrote a poem "Send Li Dao" to give a high evaluation:

Wu Wen's all-rounder Xu Jun created a wonderful honor every time talking and laughing.

The world called Li Dao a wise man and Emperor Yanling an old friend.

The sea helps the new sun and moon, and the sky lifts the old smoke.

Becoming famous has been difficult since ancient times, but it is easy to beg in the future.

Go to the real prime minister first and level the old gods.

Escape to the sky, glory and rain.

At the foot of Qiugu Mountain, there are some villages dotted around. Nanshicao, Beishan, Zhongshantou, Nansantou, Xiaoshantou, Beidong, Beitianhe, Nantianhe, Zhang Jia, Liu Ding, Xiling, Dongling, Huili, Da Qiao Bridge, Xiaoqiao Bridge and Maozhan. Perhaps in different villages, Qiugu Mountain has different names and different legends and stories. My hometown is in the southeast of the mountain range, and it is the most populous and strictly controlled village around Qiugu Mountain. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was famous for making royal casseroles, especially in Zhang Jia Village.

The Amin dynasty said: "Pingyang and Zehe are among the best merchants in the world, and they can't be rich unless they are hundreds of thousands."

The rise of Lu merchants began with salt and iron, and Ruth and casserole are both famous. Zhang Jia casserole is exquisite and applicable, and it became a tribute during Jiajing period. During Jiajing's reign, 5000 pieces of Lu 'an's sand wares were collected for the first time, and the number increased sharply to 15000 pieces in the following year and to 19500 pieces in the eighteenth year of Wanli. Casseroles are easily broken during transportation. They were originally shipped in Beijing baskets, but they were put in mahogany cabinets during Jiajing period. During the Wanli period, white cotton pads were required. You need to go to Henan to buy cotton. The cost of packaging and transportation is 26 times that of casserole, and the people are overwhelmed. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Lv Kun, the governor and provincial judge of Shanxi Province, went to court to "please stop the casserole shreds". Although Zhang Jia casserole has ups and downs, it has long been famous all over the world.

Our village calls this mountain range Naoshan, also called Zhutou Mountain or Huangya Mountain. Because the villages around the mountain belong to different counties and districts, due to different administrative divisions, although the distance is very close, communication is hindered. * * * The same mountain range, in the long run, is not only different from each other, but also unable to form a joint force with each other. And for a long time, this mountain was painted as a prison and divided into different counties. When I was a teenager, our school learned from the experience of Dazhai Agricultural College and carried water, dug holes and planted trees on the ridge of this mountain range. Dig holes, farm fields, plant melons and beans. How many handsome men and beautiful women shed immature sweat here, leaving a youthful dream, hoping to change their lives by relying on this mountain range. Decades later, looking at the high-rise buildings in emerging cities a few miles away from the mountain, the mountain is still in a state of static expectation. On the north side of Baigu Mountain, tourism development is accelerating and tourists are weaving.

You and I went all the way to the green hills in the rain, at the top of the moon in both places?

Qiugushan, the future is sure to be expected. The west water in this city has begun to take off. I hope that the west water can keep pace with Dongshan.
