Dianshizhai Pictorial is the earliest and most influential news pictorial newspaper in modern China. Among the more than 4,000 works in the "Dianshizhai Pictorial", there are also dozens of paintings about Xuancheng, although their paintings may not all be realistic, but through their pictures and texts, they still have a certain role in understanding the social conditions of Xuancheng in the late Qing Dynasty. In this paper, several of them are selected and the relevant current events are briefly explained to arouse the research interest of fans.
6. Robbery of The Card
Customs are set up to ward off violence, and sometimes violence is encountered. Lika, Dingbu Town, Jianping County, received more than 2,000 yuan in donations in the previous month, but suddenly when the second drum was stolen and destroyed one night, the door was stolen and destroyed, and it was swept away.
Even so, the day of the wind is blazing! The Emperor is a card and an official, and has a garrison gunboat, and the money he has stored is very important, and those who are not afraid of death dare to throw off their arms and parade like probing for things, and it is no wonder that the travel is regarded as a fearful way, and the gentleman looks at the money and does not calm down, and often sighs at current events. If you quote the words of the ZiYu clan and take the ridicule of the present as a matter, this is an exciting talk, and the non-argument is related to the right. (Dianshizhai Pictorial)
(Dingbu Town, Langxi County, Xianfeng Bingxing, due to the lack of military pay, Deng Ying, the prefect of Ningguo Province, set up a lika here, which was revoked in 1912.) The robbery of Dingbu Lika was also caused by the collusion of the guests with the bandits. The social problems brought about by immigration really need to be carefully studied and summarized. ）
7. The world's first wonderland mountain gate
The world reads "The Tale of Peach Blossom Origin", and the gods go to Wuling, and there is no such mountain. Thirty miles northwest of Ningguo County, a mountain, a hundred miles and hollow, the only mountain in the world is nameless, the mountain has a gate, so it is known as the mountain gate. Those who are famous for the gate of the world are all facing each other on two mountains, and the upper one does not belong to each other; the mountain gate is a stone tiancheng up and down, and the height and breadth are five or six zhang, and the true mountain gate is also.
In it, there are liangtian and Qingxi, and there are thirty-six peaks and seventy-two caves. There is a water gate next to the mountain gate, and the water in the mountain for thirty miles converges and comes out of the bottom of the mountain. He Fasheng's "Book of Jin Zhongxing" Yun: "Mr. Qu Zhen, unknown name, Hidden Xuancheng Wenling Mountain, Huan Wen visited Yan, Mr. Lu Qiu sat in the stone room, looking unmoving. Unpredicted, he ordered the army to join the army and go away. "Wen Ridge is one of the thirty-six peaks, and the Qu Stone Chamber is one of the seventy-two caves. Qu Qi, the stone in the cave, the Danzao in the cave, the sword box and the stones are all in all shapes, the cave door bell, the drum two stones, the sound of knocking is like its shape, Gu "Book of Jin" does not know the mountain gate but the Wen Ridge Mountain, it is Xie Shuo, Li Bairi's back to the Wen Ridge and does not know the mountain gate.
There are more than 500 families of the Tu and Cheng people in the mountains, and they are married to each other and do not communicate with the world. And the Ming Dynasty, the mountain people slaughtered the stone as a sacrificial wine, regarded Zhejiang, and wrote the eight volumes of the "Mountain Gate Map", and the name of the mountain gate began. The State Dynasty Shi Yushan made a postscript. Since the Anhui Xuejun has visited the mountain gate, Mr. Luo Jiaosheng rewarded him again. After Xianfeng's soldiers burned, Xuan Xuan disappeared. The year before, I heard that xueqin palace was relieved of its military handle, because of the folding of the simple recruitment tour, and wrote to Xiao Jin Boming Province to remove the dung from the cave house, the palace protection disease, did not fruit travel to the soil, there was a sigh of "hating ten years late, negative this wonderland". And Zi Jiyun died, I am afraid that there is no one to ask for help.
However, there is a cave named Taoyuan Cave at the mountain gate, which is gradually smaller and smaller, and it is gradually larger, and when it is moved, it smells the sound of chickens and dogs, if it is a few miles away, it is the mountain gate and there is no Taoyuan also. Xin Jiuchun, who belongs to the painter to write, to the curiosity of the public sea, but the mountain gate can be stopped, if the seventy-two caves are twisted and deep, it is beyond the pen and ink to look at it.
Seventy-two cave days do not eat fireworks Rong Dao people know. (Dianshizhai Pictorial Collection)
(Rong Qiao Daoren is the number of Ning guo Zhou Yun.) Zhou Yun wrote many poems during his lifetime, but unfortunately they were scattered in various writings, and no special collection has been published so far. This article is a rare article. This article provides us with a lot of important information: First, the text says that Tu Xiying wrote eight volumes of the "Shanmen Tuji", which is unknown to the author, and that the "Ningguo County Chronicle" and the "Ningguo County Chronicle" have not been recorded, or is it a false ye of the "Shanmen Collection"? Second, Luo Jiaosheng is Luo Huanyan, a native of Shunde, Guangdong. Luo Yanyan Daoguang served as a scholar in Anhui from November 26 to September of Daoguang 29, and his tour of the mountain gate was in The 27th year of Daoguang and the 28th of August. For the matter, see the Annals of the Emperor of Jiaosheng Province. Third, Xueqin Palace Refers to Peng Yulin, and Xiao Jin Boming Province refers to Xiao Xianhao, ZhiXian county, Ningguo County. In the fourteenth year of Guangxu, Peng Yulin left his post due to illness in the military department Shangshu, and died in March of the sixteenth year, and his trip to the mountain gate was not fruitful, which is regrettable. Fourth, in the spring of the seventeenth year of Guangxu, Zhou Yun had a trip to the Mountain Gate and asked the painter to make a "Mountain Gate Map", which was either immediately drawn according to Zhou Yun's "Mountain Gate Map". ）
Viii. Tianchi Is Desperate
There is water at the top of the mountain for the Heavenly Pond, and the Heavenly Pond is also strange for its tallness. The heavenly pond under heaven is no higher than a thousand acres, especially greater than a thousand acres, and the thousand acres of heavenly pools are not in vain. The "Chronicle of Unity" says that there are thousands of mountains in the northwest of Changhua, and there are dragons on it, and Changhua Longhu is another mountain.
Qianqing Mountain is in the southeast of Ningguo, and under it is Baizhang Ridge, which is forty miles high, and even ten miles up to Tianchi. There is a thousand acres of ponds, next to the thousand acres of temples, and there are three stone mountains in the pool, one sharp, one round, one side, and the three gods in the sky. Those who travel the three mountains, the boat in the sky, can be expected. This mountain is more than twenty miles without compound firewood, strange pines, and cliffs, several inches long and not more than a foot high. Monks pay for reeds, and the pond produces wooden chestnuts, which are said to have been transformed by wooden trees when the temple was founded in the Ming Dynasty.
Eighty miles east and west of the ridge are uninhabited, and from time to time, the mountain master sets up a righteous brigade in the ridge hollow, three stone rooms, in the storage of salary, cooking utensils, grass beds, the list of its doors known as "always stay". The salary is provided for the traveler, only recognizes Yun Shan as the master, the guest arrives, from the outside, into it, knock the stone fire to cook. The next morning, I went back to the gate without spending a penny.
To his maternal uncle Zu Mengshan people, winter night stay in the stone room, the next day the snow is three feet deep, the degree is not physiological, inscribed desperate poems, the countryside is on the wall. The next day the food is gone, at dusk I hear the voice of the people in the house, and I should not call it, and in the middle of the night I hear the caller open the window, and if the window is destroyed, then the monk of the temple. On the eve of seeing the smoke rise, there were guests, and three of them were ordered to be skilled, each wrapped in two months of grain, and took a snow boat to reach the stone chamber day and night, and the snow had no eaves, so it entered through the window. If the snow boat can go down or not, it will come to the spring and the snow will disappear, and it will return to the temple, so it will bring two months of grain. However, the monk Xinzheng of the temple is to remove snow all day long, the initial passage in February, the phase and the temple, the snow in the line, there is a deep one, the crystal is shooting, and the cover cannot be seen. Stay in the temple until March down the mountain, the cliff ice and snow have not disappeared. However, the strangeness of the mountain people's trip is not in Tianchi.
Xin Di long summer summer, mountain gate seventy-two cave days do not eat fireworks Rong Dao people trekking here, do not feel cool all over the body also. (Golden Collection of Dianshizhai Pictorial)
(This is another passage by Zhou Yun, written in June of the seventeenth year of Guangxu.) This article writes about the wonders of the Tianchi Pond of the Qianqing Mountain and the strange danger of Zhou Yunwai's uncle's deep fall in the mountains in the snow, which can be described as a strange writing. This article can be seen in conjunction with Zhou Yun's Liushengtang Chronicle, in the Republic of China's Ningguo County Chronicle, vol. XII. ）
9. Thunder Stone Lion
Thunder and thunder, or people or things, are heard from time to time, and the commentators say that they will be brought to justice with yin and yang results. However, the characters are all alive, or the most evil is the most evil, which is not tolerated by the heavens and the earth, if it is a stubborn stone, how can it be restored? But it is inevitable that there will be a shock, and it will not be different?
There is a peak in the city of Ningguofu, and there is a pair of stone lions on both sides, standing side by side, which is quite a county victory. Wanling Junzhi detailed, said that although this lion is stone, and the blow is made of copper, read for hundreds of years, the wind and frost erosion, and it exists alone. On the tenth day of the first month of June, suddenly the black clouds poured ink, the heavy rain poured down, and Feng Longjun was mighty and mighty, and with a thunderclap, the two stone lions were crushed at the same time. The most strange thing is that the water in the stone flows like blood, and I don't know where it came from, and the people in the stone are not suspicious, is it the survival of things, and there are also many existences? Or is it like the so-called even touch electric Yahweh of the Western Gezhi family? ("Dianshizhai Pictorial" collection)
(The Aofeng Stone Lion was destroyed by Thunder on June 6, 19999.) This article can add information to the Prefectural Chronicle of Xiangyi. ）
10. Filial piety becomes male
Jianping Yang Weng is engaged in farming, the couple is nearly a flower armour, a daughter under the knee, seventeen years old, sex to filial piety, the parents first intend to inherit. The father will not be able to afford it, and the female arm meat will be three inches long, and the soup will be served, and the good will be good. Father Gu daughter sighed: "Ru Cheng filial piety, but unfortunately it is a female body in the end, my ghost is hungry, why not?" ”
When the woman hears it, she prays day and night, and wishes to give a son to continue for her parents. It is a night dream of a white haired woman, four inches of cane in the valley, two oranges in the female woman, both awake, aware of the grave of the private parts, frightened, anxious white mother, the mother pants to explore it, then a great man also, overjoyed, to warn the neighbors, for it to change clothes, as a boy's dress. Later, he married a woman and gave birth to a second son, which was said to be caused by filial piety, but those who heard about it were shocked. ("Dianshizhai Pictorial" collection)
(This phenomenon of gender deformity is an abnormal differentiation during embryonic development, resulting in gender deformity.) At present, the medical community divides it into three types: male pseudo-hermaphroditic malformations, female pseudo-hermaphroditic malformations and euphroditic malformations. Yang nu belongs to the pseudo-gender deformity, commonly known as "false yin and yang people", its early childhood due to the lack of a certain decisive enzyme, so the female characteristics are relatively obvious; after growing up, a large number of testosterone hormone is secreted in the body, and the male characteristics gradually appear. Ancient science was not prosperous, and regarded this as an ineffable "family ugliness", so it had to be covered up with filial piety. According to the British "Daily Mail" report, Salinas in the Dominican Republic of North America, the proportion of this pseudosexual deformity is as high as 1.5%, and the locals have long been strange. The British BBC has also made a special documentary for this purpose - "Countdown to Life", which interested readers can watch online. ）
11. Crossbow shooting tiger
Orion A certain jia is good at crossbow shooting tigers, traveling to and from the Mountains of Ningguo, specializing in shooting tigers. Its method is to use medicinal arrows, see the tiger tracks to and fro, open the crossbow to the pass, lead the machine alive, and lead the rope to wait for the tiger. When its Fu Arrow medicine is boiled, try to use chicken, chicken medicine can be three feet of the strength of the weak, killing the tiger is not successful, one stomp and kill, the medicine can be used.
In the northeast of Ning, the mountains are continuous, the hazelnut spines are thick, there are tiger anomalies, and the tiger hurts people a lot. The A follows the path of the bow, and the tiger passes everywhere three, and the arrow is off and the tiger does not die. A great doubt, but the night according to the path of the high tree, covered to look down. It was the shadow of the sunset moon that was hazy, and when the three leaks were leaking, the wind was blowing, that is, there were ghosts with hair on their backs, who walked to the place where the bow was stretched, and pulled out the arrows and threw them to the ground. When the ghost goes half a mile, the tiger passes by. It is known that the so-called tiger trickster, that is, the one who draws the arrow, is a man. The next night the tree is as before, and the squire draws the arrow and goes down the tree. When the tree rises, the tiger arrives, and the arrow runs, and the trail is obtained, and the tiger is in trouble. Don't tiger hunters desperately want their way? (Collection of "Dianshizhai Pictorial")
(This news is almost a copy of the "Ma Zheng" article in volume 430 of the Taiping Guangji.) Dai Fu's "Guangyi Ji" volume 10 "Xuanzhou Er" article also records that at the end of Tang Tianbao, Xuanzhou Xiao'er turned into a servant, but it was a revenge, not a trick for the tiger. Mei Zhifengzuo has "The Ballad of the Tiger": "There are many people who are afraid of the tiger and the mountain, and there are many people who are bound by the tiger? "From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, for thousands of years, there have been records of Xuancheng all over the city, how many are there in Xuancheng? It is worth noting that by the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were still professional tiger catchers in Ningguo, which shows that the ecological environment at that time was good, and it is not comparable to today. ）
