Puyang review

Puyang has a long history and splendid ancient culture, leaving many places of interest. The scenic spot we are leading you to visit now is built on the basis of the site of Qicheng, a national key cultural relics protection unit, and is called Qicheng Cultural Relics Scenic Spot. (Entering Qicheng Scenic Area) Puyang is one of the birthplaces of our Chinese nation, and the ruins of Qicheng are an important witness to Puyang's long history. Qicheng Cultural Relics Scenic Area covers a total area of 760 mu, which was completed in five years from March of 199 1, including five commemorative scenic spots and three cultural relics.

According to ancient records, Ziyang, called Diqiu in ancient times, is the place where Zhuan Xu, one of the legendary five emperors, and his tribe lived. Therefore, today we call Puyang the "Legacy Capital of Zhuan Xu". Zhuan Xu's greatest historical achievements are observing astronomical phenomena, making calendars and reforming primitive religions. The tall building in front, the Xuan Palace, commemorates Zhuan Xu, the ancestor of mankind. Zhuangzi, a philosopher of the Warring States Period, said in The Master that "Zhuan Xu attained the Tao and lived in the Xuan Palace". This means that Zhuan Xu realized the way of heaven and earth and presided over the religious reform in Gong Xuan, hence the name Gong Xuan.

This is a statue of Zhuan Xu, his wife and daughter Lu. They are not only the outstanding ancestors of Chinese culture, but also the gods of heaven, earth and man. It can be seen from the murals in the East that we are wearing feather crowns. Emperor Zhuan Xu, with a jade pendant in his hand, is surrounded by aura, which shows that his magic is boundless. The grandson of the Yellow Emperor often lived in the transitional period from matriarchal clan to paternal clan in primitive society. He defined the difference between men and women and established the patriarchal clan system; He paid attention to the collection of advanced production and living experiences of various tribes and collected hundreds of medicines to cure all the people. The main content of Zhuan Xu's religious reform is to distinguish between clergy and personnel, and to establish a special official position, the Division of Heaven and Earth. "Heaven" became the privilege of a few people, and later gradually evolved into the ruling tool of the rulers. On the other hand, due to the establishment of the official position in charge of agricultural production, agriculture and science and technology have developed, thus promoting the development of society and the progress of human civilization. On the mural, this is Zhong Zheng and that is Li Zheng. "Zhong Zheng" and "Burning Zhong Zheng" are official positions. Shigeyoshi and Li are two ministers who are in charge of heaven and land in the sequel. The ancient book called it "making Zhong Zheng belong to God and Li Zheng belong to the people".

The murals in the west depict the scene of Emperor Zhuan Xu's "observing the celestial phenomena and making calendars". To this day, we still call the calendar with 366 days a year "Zhuan Xu Calendar", which is the earliest record of observing images and timing in China. Emperor Zhuan Xu also banned consanguineous marriage, indicating that human beings have long recognized its harm.

On the promenade on both sides, we saw 20 famous statues of Ziyang. Ziyang, located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, is a place with outstanding people, including politician Lv Buwei, reformer Shang Yang, militarist Wu Qi, chivalrous Jing Ke and a group of eminent monks? It can be said that the bright stars have made indelible contributions to the survival and development of the Chinese nation. They are not only the pride of Ziyang people, but also the pride of Chinese nation.

The historical development of China is the Bronze Age after the Stone Age. The Stone Age is equivalent to the legendary age recorded in the literature, which is consistent with the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", while the Bronze Age is consistent with Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. In Xia Dynasty, Ziyang was the seat of Kunwu, its country. Kunwu has a developed handicraft industry and is the center of bronze casting industry in Xia Dynasty. Jiuding, a famous bronze ritual vessel recorded in the literature, was cast in Kunwu by Dayu's son with copper donated by Kyushu. Zhu Dingxuan, the waterside pavilion in front of us, was built to commemorate this historical event, and the colored sculpture in the middle is Xia Qi.

Well, let's first enjoy the scenery of the Xuanhu Lake reflected by weeping willows along the Jiuqu Corridor, and then visit the important archaeological discovery-"the first Yilong in China" in the Qicheng Historical Exhibition Room.

The dragon is a symbol of the Chinese nation and the historical civilization of China. Loong culture with a long history is the most distinctive part of China traditional culture. So, when and where did the dragon culture originate? 1The archaeological discovery of Xishuipo site in Ziyang in August, 987 provided us with the answer. This is a grand funeral in ancient times. * * * consists of four groups of relics of mussels, with the dragon, tiger, mussel and shell patterns as funerary objects, showing the identity and status of the tomb owner. China Academy of Social Sciences made a scientific determination of carbon 14, and the result was 6460 years ago. From 65438 to 035, experts speculated that the tomb was related to the era of "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" recorded in literature. So, who is the owner of the tomb? Fuxi, Huangdi or Zhuan Xu? There is no conclusion. This discovery can be called the first "Mausoleum" and the first "Mausoleum" in China. Because the three emperors and five emperors are all related to dragons, only they can enjoy such a high-standard funeral. Look at the pottery ding and pottery drum unearthed from Yangshao culture. It is really rare in contemporary archaeological discoveries in China, and its style shows a unique "king spirit". Puyang, known as Diqiu in ancient times, is also the old capital of Zhuan Xu, one of the five emperors. It is very natural to find the first "tomb" and the first "mausoleum" in China.

Looking at the dragon pattern on the right, it is not only vivid and artistic, but also shows that its neck, claws, horns and overall composition have possessed most elements and creativity to develop into a dragon in China traditional culture. The unique essence, spirit and verve of the mussel dragon are a portrayal of the Chinese nation's conquest of nature, unremitting self-improvement and unity for thousands of years. Experts call it "the first dragon in China". Puyang was named "Dragon Township" by China Yanhuang Culture Research Association.

Now we see 26 murals of the patriotic history in the Spring and Autumn Period in the cloisters on the east, west and south, vividly reappearing the magnificent history of more than 800 years from the end of BC 1 1 Wei Kangshu was sealed, and then moved to Diqiu (now Puyang) three times, and was destroyed by the Qin State in 239 BC. China's famous idioms and allusions include putting righteousness above family interests, retreating after difficulties, blocking the car with one arm, and losing the country with a good crane. Wei and Lu are both "states of etiquette". As a big country, Wei occupies an important position in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The giant sculpture in front is in memory of Zhuan Xu, one of the Five Emperors. This sculpture is called "Emperor Zhuan Xu, Lapras is everywhere".

Meng Hui in Qicheng is an important historical event in the Spring and Autumn Period. What we see in the west today is the magnificent ruins of the ancient city wall. The tall earthen platform building in front of us is the alliance platform for the alliance ceremony of governors in the Spring and Autumn Period. Meng Hui prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, in order to consolidate internal unity and crack down on hostile forces, governors or ministers often held a restrictive ceremonial activity. After the agreement is reached, all parties in the alliance swear to heaven on the platform of the alliance, and then kill the sacrifice to take blood, drink blood (that is, bury the sacrifice after drinking blood) and make a promise to the gods. The person who presides over the alliance is called a leader. At that time, most of the top scholars relied on their own strength and gave orders under the banner of "convincing people with virtue", "restraining the strong and helping the weak, and assisting the weekly room". According to the records in the Spring and Autumn Annals and Zuo Zhuan, in the nearly one century from 626 BC to 53 BC1year, the vassals joined the Wei League for 14 times, including seven times in Qicheng, which involved matters such as alliance, betrayal, renewal of the alliance, and salvation of the country. In the face of this high platform, we can also imagine the spectacular scene of the alliance of governors in previous dynasties. On February 5th, 199 1, * * * personally visited the ruins of Qicheng and spoke highly of its value.

Qicheng is a small border town in the north of Weiguo, facing Jin across the Yellow River in the north, bordering Lu in the south and Zheng in the west. Its geographical location is very important. It is precisely because of this that it has become a strategic goal for the princes. At the same time, Qicheng was also the fief of Sun Shi family in Weiguo, and Sun Shi family was in a dominant position in the ruling and opposition. Its position directly affects the political situation of Weiguo and the balance of vassal power. Therefore, according to historical records, many historical events are related to Qi City, and Luz, a disciple of Confucius, was killed in political events related to Qi City.

Qicheng site is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The overground part is the site of the ancient city, with a perimeter of1.520m and an area of1.440m2, and the underground part preserves the historical remains from Yangshao culture to Han Dynasty more than 6000 years ago.

Ok, that's the end of the explanation of Qicheng Cultural Relics Scenic Area.
