The site of the 24th Winter Olympic Games, Haituo Mountain, is a famous scenic tourist area, which was once the hometown of Wang Zizhong, the founder of the Regular Script in China, and where the myth of Zizhong's transformation into a bird of prey and his falling feathers is still passed down.
The Regular Script has been popular in China for 2,000 years, and the creation of the Regular Script can be called a great calligraphy creation. Why was the Regular Script created? Cai Mao, the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in the book "Exhortation to Learning": "Shanggu Zizhong, the first change in the ancient form." In the Book of Jin, Wei Heng's Biography, it is written, "Wang Zizhong of Shanggu was the first to create the Regular Script." The Northern Song Dynasty's Xuanhe Shubu records: "The change of the character method, to the official pole. However, there are still ancient, to the regular law is not ancient, there is Wang Zizhong, the beginning of the Regular Script for the Regular Script, the so-called Regular Script, today's Zhengshu is also." From this, Wang Zizhong created the Chinese Regular Script.
According to "Gleanings from the Immortal Biographies" written by Du Guangting in the late Tang and the Fifth Dynasties, during the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods, Wang Zizhong lived in the Daxia Mountain and Xiaoshan Mountain, studying and creating new fonts. According to Wei Heng, a calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty, as quoted in the Kangxi Dictionary, the Chinese Dictionary, and the Dictionary of Words, Wang Zizhong was smart since he was a child, and he felt that the strokes of the Big Seal Script were too many and twisted and difficult to be written, so he secluded himself in the Xia Mountain, and devoted himself to the study of the script. He changed the strokes of the seal script from round to square, from curved to straight, and simplified the complicated strokes. At the age of 18 to 20, he created a new script. The squareness and breadth of the character structure was standardized as "eight points", i.e., the ratio of the height and width of the character was about eight-tenths of a point, which was later known as the eight-point character. After the circulation, Wang Zizhong created the first calligraphy "eight points", so that the Chinese character writing standardization, standardization, to promote the development of Chinese civilization has contributed to the process.
According to the Qing Dynasty's "Xuanhua Fu Zhi", after Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six states and unified the world, he implemented the policy of "one track, one text". When he heard that the new font created by Wang Jizhong could facilitate the writing of zhengzhang (奏章), he was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered his envoys to go up to Shanggou to call Wang Jizhong to Xianyang. He immediately ordered his ambassadors to go to Shanggu to call him to Xianyang. After learning that Emperor Shi Huang had burned books and pitted scholars against each other and that there was no good end for him to go out to be a government official, he rejected Emperor Shi Huang's call and lived in seclusion in the Daxia Mountain and Xiaoshan Mountain. According to Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu - 灅 (lei) water - Qingyi water" of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Shihuang was furious, and ordered the messenger to use the sill car to imprison Zizhong to Xianyang. But as soon as the cart was on the road, Zizhong turned into a big bird, rushed out of the cart, flew away, dropped two quills (he), and landed on Daxia Mountain and Xiaoxia Mountain. According to "The Old News of Rishita Kao", citing "True Immortal Tongjian", Jizhong turned into a big bird, rushed out of the sill car, and the messenger was shocked to worship, saying, "You are flying away, I cannot go back to resume my order, and I will surely be decapitated, so please have mercy on the god!" The big bird hovered in the air, and shook off three feathers, which the messenger got to return to resume his order.
The local forefathers, in honor of the upright Jizhong, called Daxia Mountain and Xiaoxia Mountain, Big Quill Mountain and Little Quill Mountain. The above content in the "Water Classic" Volume XIII is also recorded: "County people Wang Zizhong, a young visionary, years and weak crown, change the old Cangjie text for today's official script. Qin Shihuang, the official trouble more, to the second Zhong Yi Wen simple, easy to things, odd and called, three levies and often do not come. The second Zhong was a man who was a true believer in the art of counting, and he was a man who was not a good writer. Emperor Shihuang was angry at his disrespect, so he sent him to the threshold of the car, and he turned into a big bird, out of the car, and flew away. Drop two quill in the mountain, so its peaks have big quill, small quill name carry on."
Or people do not want to see innocent people killed, and made up the story of the big bird into quill into the mountain, to send condolences.
The story of the bird falling into a mountain was made up by people who did not want to see the innocent murder of a righteous and good person, and to express their grief.
The descendants remembered the man who defied power and established a shrine and a hall in his hometown, which was a tribute to his memory. Wei Land Records recorded: "Sixty miles northeast of Frustrated Yang City, there are big quill, small quill mountain. The mountain god name big quill god, god temple built, east of the house has warm soup water mouth." In the early years of Emperor Shihuang's reign, 36 counties were established, among which Shanggu County was set up in the northern Yan region. Shanggu County County, the county seat of the city of Frustration Yang, that is, today's Huailai County, about one kilometer north of the village of Dagucheng, but also the remnants of the ancient city ruins, from today's Haituo Mountain is precisely good sixty miles. According to the Northern Wei Dynasty Li Daoyuan "water Jingji. Qingyi water" records: "mountain in the northwest of the city, the peak up forty miles" "high mountain range cut off clouds, layer mausoleum broken fog, double F*** show, competing for up above the peaks", "on the temple is the sub-middle temple also. Right out of the warm soup, cure all diseases. This water is hot, times more than the soup, under the foot will rot the human body, healers, to be cited, the message with the ear, shall not say big quill Shandong. Its water flows southeast, the left will be Yanggou water, turbulent south injection Canghe."
Today's Haituo Mountain is located in the northwest of Yanqing County, divided into large Haituo Mountain, small Haituo Mountain. The small Haituo Mountain and the large Haituo Mountain location adjacent to the mountain connected. Here there is a hot spring, locals called (bath) "hall", its temple is also commonly known as "hall" temple. The Northern Wei Dynasty Li Daoyuan "Water Classic Note. Qingyi water" records: Qingyi water (now Gui water) and west, Lingting water injection. Water out of the Malan West Ze, the springs lagging slippery, return to the Ze, Ze water by the bell, to become a ditch malfeasance. Blasphemy and left, and Malan Stream will be water, water guide source Malan City, the city's northern negative mountain potential, due to the A still creek, the residents are given, only rely on this water. The water flows south out of the city, southeast into the Zeshui. Ze water and south, the way Ling Ting north, and flexion of the way Ling Ting east, the second Zhong fall bird quill in this, so is the pavilion has the name of Ling Ting carry on. Its water and south flow, injected into the Qingyi water.
Here, the "Spirit Hall", that is, when the people set up after the death of the spirit of the memorial hall, according to the "Ze Shui and south, and run the Spirit Pavilion north, and flexed run the Spirit Pavilion east" orientation considerations, these traces in today can still be found. According to Mr. Yang Niansheng's study of "Shui Jing Jing" in 2018, the "Ling Hall" is located in Xiaying Village, Zhangshanying Town, Yanqing County, and during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the location of Xiaying Village was still an open space, and according to the folk custom: people who died outside the city should set up a spiritual hall, which indicates that Wang Zizhong's hometown was near Xiaying.
