Cultural relics and historic sites in Wuyuan ancient city

Located in Wuyuan County, it is a temple built in memory of Confucius. Because its affiliated building has been a college school since ancient times, Wuyuan people are called "Confucianism", its front street is called Confucian front street, and the back mountain is called Confucian mountain.

On the street in front of Confucianism, there are two archways across the street. On the archway, there is the word "imperial edict", and under the archway, there is a dismounting stone of "civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians dismount here". The front door of Confucius Temple is solemn, and Confucius Temple is in the middle of two archways.

The Confucius Temple faces south, and three archways are arranged in the gate. After entering the gate, there is a stone bridge. On both sides of the stone bridge are two and a half ponds, surrounded by bluestone railings. The pond is made of bluestone, the water is rippling, and the lotus is water lily. Banana trees are planted under the red walls on both sides of the pond, and green banana leaves set off the red walls.

On the half-pool stone bridge, you will see the gate of Confucius Temple. The gate is a pavilion with stone pillars and wood structure. Above the main entrance, there is a plaque of "Dachengmen". There are five steps at the bridge head of Banchi. There are osmanthus trees on both sides of the platform in front of the gate. The tall osmanthus leaves are leaning against the eaves of the gate. Three more steps and you'll be at the door. The gate is a three-wood structure, and the heavy gate is nailed with logs. When you open the gate, you enter Dacheng Hall, the main hall of Confucius Temple.

The main hall is divided into three layers, followed by Tianchi, Altar and Dacheng Hall.

Tianchi is a rectangular open-air place. After entering the gate, the next step is Tianchi, which is completely built of square bluestone. After entering the gate, there are reading rooms on both sides and the corridor is next to Tianchi. Two rows of black columns are arranged on both sides of Tianchi Lake and connected to the gate.

The altar is above Tianchi, with a stone fence on the outside, and a large panlong stone leans between Tianchi and the altar in the middle. There are nine steps on both sides of Panlong Stone, and the main hall of Confucius Temple is three steps away from the altar.

The roof of Dacheng Hall consists of cornices and tiles, and there are three "Dacheng Hall" in the middle. Four huge square black stone pillars support the front of the hall. The pillars of the house in the hall are round, including four rows of pillars, each pillar is as thick as two people folded. The ceiling in the middle of the hall is a large spiral of wooden structure. From bottom to top, from big to small, the bottom of the spiral is painted with a dragon. The hall is painted with red paint, the bluestone floor and the ceiling are all painted with pastels. There are seven vases at the top of the hall, which are pulled by strings.

From the right side of Dacheng Hall, through Minglun Hall and the back garden, you can reach Confucian Mountain. The trees are towering under the Confucian mountain, and the sweet black willow seeds are dropped on the autumn day, and Tianxiangge is on the top of the Confucian mountain. Tianxiang Pavilion is hexagonal, with only one double door, painted with door gods and monsters. There are seven Aquarius on the top of the pavilion and a ladder to go upstairs. On Tianxiang Pavilion, you can see the whole Confucius Temple.

Standing at the gate and beside Tianchi Lake, we can see Dacheng Hall. This hall is magnificent. Against the backdrop of Tianxiang Pavilion, there is a generous style. The whole building is on a north-south axis. The "Prince Taibao" archway built by Wang Hong, a patriotic general of Wuyuan in the Ming Dynasty, settled in Wuyuan Old Street.

It is reported that Wang Hong is famous for fighting against Portuguese colonial aggression. He is the patriotic general who regained Macau for the first time in the history of China. He was an official minister and a military minister in the Ming Dynasty, and was honored as the Prince of Taibao.

The "Prince Taibao" archway built at the west entrance of Wuyuan Old Street is a traditional four-poster archway, with a mouth shape, a height of 10 m and a width of 5 m, all carved from blue stone. The whole archway is exquisitely carved and simple in style.

At present, the renovation of Wuyuan Old Street has entered the final stage of the main project and will be officially opened before New Year's Day in 2007. The completion of the "Prince Taibao" archway has also added a heavy cultural landscape to the old street. Zhu Zu was born in Wuyuan, located in Nanmen Street, Ziyang Town, Wuyuan, and was named "Wengong Queli" by the Southern Song Emperor. At present, the ancestral home no longer exists, and Wei Zujian's "Hongjing" is still there. The well ring is hexagonal, with an inner diameter of 1m and a well depth of 5m.

The ancients were convinced that "when a saint comes out, there must be auspicious signs and differences", so Wuyuan county records contain such a legend: Song Shaosheng was born in the fourth year (AD 1097), when Zhu Songsheng, the father of Zhu, was born, the gas in the well was like a rainbow, and it continued day after day; In the fourth year of Song Jianyan (AD 1 130), when Zhu was born in Jianyang, Fujian, Wuyuan was also full of purple. Therefore, people call this well "Hongjing".

Next to the "Hongjing" monument, there is an inscription written by Zhu Song: "Tao Yusi, like the water on the ground, is deeply beneficial and has a unique flavor." During the Ming Dynasty (1436- 1449), Wuyuan County also built the "Hongjing Pavilion" here. Wang Wei, an Amin poet, once wrote the poem Hongjing, lamenting Zhu's scholarship and Huizhou culture. In his poem, he said: Zhai Wei went deep into the source that day, and the rainbow came out of the well that day, and Taoism spread far to Zhu Si, and the aftermath was cherished for thousands of years. This poem tells the secret that when Zhu Song and Zhu were born, the well was full of purple gas. Under the wall of the south old town of Dongmen Bridge in Ziyang Town, Wuyuan, there is a stone chiseling spring pool one or two meters square. The spring pool is called "Lotus Spring", which is a scenic spot inscribed and named by Zhu. Speaking of which, there is a wonderful legend.

According to legend, in the spring of the 18th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 148), Zhu, who was only 19 years old, went back to his hometown in the spring of the 20th year (A.D. 1 150) to visit his clan elders. In the past three months, Zhu visited all ancestral graves from his ancestor Zhu Gui to his seventh ancestor Zhu Sen, visited clan elders he had never met before, and visited places of interest in his hometown.

Wuyuan in early May is the early summer season. One day, Zhu and his master came back from a trip. When he arrived at Dongmen Bridge, he was sweating and thirsty. Seeing a pool made of stone, the spring water is crystal clear, which is really attractive, and that group of people will kneel down and drink. This cool and sweet spring water gushes from the stone stream. "Early waterlogging does not make it dry, and the wind does not shake" gave Zhu a deep enlightenment: "I am a scholar in the current dynasty, and I will be an official in the future, and it will be spring now." After thinking about it, his passion is hard to calm down. After returning to his residence, he wrote an inscription for Hong Qingquan: "Lianquan", and disciples erected a monument beside Mo Bao Spring for this purpose. The following spring, Zhu was awarded Zuo Digonglang and Tongan County Master Book, and began his career as an official and a firm road to study.

In the 5th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1666), the Confucian Temple was built and the Li Anquan stone tablet was moved to the left of the main hall of the Confucian Temple. Anecdotal stories about demolishing temples during the Cultural Revolution. Today, the lotus spring there is still covered with moss and the water is still there. It has been listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit. A new ancient city wall site was discovered in Lingshan, the junction of jiangwan town and Xitou Township in Wuyuan County. The whole city wall is about 6 meters high and 12 meters wide, and the whole body is made of huge strips of stone. The winding and quaint Furong Ridge passes under the ancient city wall, and the flat stone road makes people vaguely see the prosperity of the past.

The ancient city wall was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and the north and south walls were engraved with stone tablets with the words "The Road to Imperial Well" and "Baowu Tianguan", and the inscriptions were clearly visible. According to local people, this ancient city wall was built when local people went to Beijing.

This avenue is also a heavily guarded military fortress. In Zhong Ping Village at the foot of the mountain, there is an ancient "Zhongping Camp", where troops are stationed all the year round. Local cultural relics experts believe that this discovery is of great significance to the study of Wuyuan history in the Ming Dynasty.
