Where is Zuiweng Pavilion?

South foot of Langya Mountain, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province

Zuiweng Pavilion, located at the foot of Langya Mountain in the southwest of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, was founded in the seventh year of Li Qing in the Northern Song Dynasty (1047), and was named after Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight famous poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The total area of Zuiweng Pavilion is about 65,438+0,000 square meters. There are nine courtyards and seven pavilions in the pavilion garden: Zuiweng Pavilion, Baosongzhai, Fenggong Temple, Gu Meiting, Xiang Ying Pavilion, Yizhi Pavilion, Yiting Pavilion and Lan Yu Terrace, with different styles and strong points, which are called "Nine Scenes of Zuiweng".

The development of history

In the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1045), Ouyang Xiu came to Chuzhou and got to know the wise monk who presided over Langya Temple in Langya Mountain, and soon became a bosom friend.

In the seventh year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1047), in order to facilitate Ouyang Xiu's play, the magistrate of a county built a small pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and Ouyang Xiu personally wrote "Drunken Pavilion". From then on, Ouyang Xiu often went to the pavilion with friends to have fun and drink. "The Taishou and the guests come here to drink, and they get drunk when they drink less. The year is the highest, so they call themselves alcoholics." "Drunk Pavilion" got its name.

Background source

Zuiweng Pavilion was then located in Chuzhou, Huainan. Ouyang Xiu was the leader of the poetry innovation movement in the Northern Song Dynasty. After Fan Zhongyan's "Qingli New Deal" failed, Ouyang Xiu was implicated. Ouyang Xiu's fabricated "Zhang Nephew Case" was demonized as a Chuzhou native. It is a political setback for Ou Gong to live in Chuzhou, but he can face it calmly, be optimistic, revel in the scenery of "Chuzhou is surrounded by mountains", and often stay in Langya Mountain with his family, having fun with the citizens of Chuzhou, which has become a historical story. Zhi Xian, a monk in the mountain, admired Ou Gong's academic articles and moral character, and specially built a pavilion in the mountain to add interest to his visit. Ou Gong took "Zuiweng" as the pavilion name, and thus created "Zuiweng Pavilion".

Legendary allusion

It is said that Ouyang Xiu was demoted to Chuzhou and especially liked the exquisite scenery of Langya Mountain. After official business, I often go to the mountains to enjoy and travel with the people. Children love to listen to his stories, and mountain people love to talk to him. Monks often ask him to play the piano and chess, and students often ask him for advice. One day, he played chess with a wise monk. The chessboard is a huge stone. The audience gathered around the stone and suddenly got wet by the heavy rain. The woodcutter has a glib tongue, so he suggested building a pavilion here. Ji-hyun raised money to build it quickly, but unfortunately there was no name at the moment. On this day, Ou Gong entertained here, calling himself a "drunkard". Command followers to bring "Four Treasures of the Study" and "drunken pavilion" plaque waving. Then he wrote Drunk Pavilion and copied and posted the six gatehouses in Chuncheng. I urge the citizens to help me modify it and stand on the right side of the pavilion in the stone carving. The woodcutter's old tongue came to make a suggestion: "At the beginning, this mountain was a bit long-winded." Although many mountain names have been written, many mountains have been lost. With a stroke of his pen, Ou Gong deleted all the first paragraph. Add the words "the Chu River is surrounded by mountains", which is concise and clear. Su Shi was also afraid that the monument was too shallow to be handed down from generation to generation, and the new monument of the special book stayed in Chuzhou.
