Martin: From Changguo City to LeYi Shop

The QingQianlongjian "Zichuan County Chronicle of Mountains and Rivers" records: "Geographical chronicles: 'Dehui water, out of the west of the Changguo. 'According to the virtue of the water, that is, the present abundance of water also. "Mention another more ancient historical site on the banks of the Pig Dragon River, the ruins of Changguo City, which is now the village of Changcheng in Fengshui Town, Zhangdian District. Today's 309 National Highway through the central urban area of Zibo is renamed Changguo Road, which is the name from which it is derived. Changguo City has a long history, according to the Qianlongjian Zichuan County Chronicle of the Qing Dynasty, which relayed the "Records of History": "King Yanzhao fengle Yi in Changguo, with the title of Changguo Jun. Zhengyi said: "The ancient Changcheng is in the northeast of Zichuan County, Zizhou, forty miles, and the present site is still there, and the natives call it Changcheng." Nanyue Ledian has a banner stone, kong guang several inches, according to legend, Le Yi once broke the Qi soldiers here. This is the history of the Warring States period (284 BC) more than 2,000 years ago, when the general Le Yi of the Yan state led the combined forces of Zhao, Wei, Qin, Han and Yan to attack the State of Qi and defeat the Qi army. Because of Le Yi's outstanding military achievements, King Yan Zhao gave le Yi the land of Changguo and made him the king of Changguo. This is the origin of Changguo City. Although the site of the city no longer exists, two thousand years later, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, many people wrote some nostalgic poems about Changcheng, and several brief poems were recorded as follows:

Changcheng Huaigu Ming Wang Wei

He Huang left the pheasant ping, and the resident pointed out Changcheng.

Sad wind ancient wood cold smoke lock, sunset crab leaf far away from the water.

The old fortress has been exhausted with the conquest, and the broken monument is still the name of the hegemon.

Leisurely old things would rather be asked, all over the ground Xiao Xiao listened to the sound of birds.

The author is Wang Wei, a man from Zichuan Suspension Bridge. In the Ming Dynasty, Wanli Gongsheng served as a lecturer, professor, and long historian. This poem is nostalgic for the past, and in the face of the ruins, it is only from the atmosphere of "the ancient wood of the grass and the earth", "the ancient wood of the sad wind", "the old fortress", and the "broken monument", listening to the "guidance of the residents", "Ning Kan asked" infinitely lamenting the "conquest" and "hegemony" of the ancients, so as to remember the ancients, and it is inevitable to reveal Xiao Suo's compassion.

Over Changguo Qing Wu Weiye

Lesheng went to the kingdom to strike and ascend to the altar,

It is difficult for the king to know himself for a long time.

Drooling Swallow Resigns Zhao General,

The ninjas died in Handan.

The author, Wu Weiye, is a famous poet and scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a native of Jiangsu. He has successively held important positions such as editor of the Hanlin Academy and supervision of the State Zi. Knowledgeable, through the history of the classics, all insightful. Passing by the hometown of Changguo, I focused on remembering the tortuous encounters of Changguo Junle Yi, who was once a prominent and prominent country. "Lesheng" is Le Yi, who has distinguished himself in battle, was heavily rewarded by King Yan Zhao, and was later suspected by King Hui, so he "boycotted the altar" and left Yan to go to Zhao in anger, and naturally "thought of King Zhao's confidant for a long time". After arriving in the Zhao Kingdom, the King of Zhao ordered him to "cut down yan", and he had to "weep" and "resign Zhao" (refusing the order of the King of Zhao), and ran for the reconciliation of Yan and Zhao, although both countries were given the title of guest secretary, but in the end they still ended up with a tragic ending of "the old man of the ninja religion died in Handan (the capital of the Zhao state)". The poet fully affirmed Le Yi's historical merits and praised his tragic and heroic feelings.

Changguocheng Huaigu (2 songs) Qing Gao Zhaohan

One

Maowu Xiaoxiao only counts the yang, and the name of the village is still the name of the ancient city.

The people in the car were idle, pointing out the mountains and rivers and saying happy life.

Two

The Twelve Mountains and Rivers have been destroyed, but the old city is small but completely safe.

If the cage shaft people are more intelligent, they may not be able to spare the crown.

These two poems are what gao Zhaohan, an ordinary kusheng in the Qing Dynasty, saw and felt when he passed through the ancient city of Changguo. From the first song, we can see that there were still a few huts in the former site of Changcheng at that time, the name of the village was still the same, and the sound of the car was reeling, but people did not forget, and often commented on the general Le Yi who had been in the limelight.

Second, in the face of the ruins, lamenting the ruins of the mountains and rivers, the old city is still there, as long as people do not forget that period of history, General Le Yi will not pity any official status.

It can be seen that the remnants of the former site have aroused the sighs of posterity, which is inevitable. Now that it is gone, we can only sigh in vain.

Ledian Hangchang Guojun Qing Zhang Tingxu

King Zhao's good horse bought bones, and a pair of famous horses ran across.

The new storage of gold Guo Kumatai really attracted the world's talents.

As soon as the city was destroyed, the fire bull suddenly destroyed the whole army.

When the times will be who they are, there is still some regret in looking back.

The valley migrated several wars, depressed ruined temple monuments broke.

The mountains and rivers of the Seven Kingdoms have no ruler soil, and the father and elder Yu passed on the changguo city.

Ledian, which is now Yuedian Village, Nanding Town, Zhangdian District, was called "Le Yi Dian" in ancient times, that is, the "Zichuan County Chronicle" quoted in the "History" Justice: "------ Nan Yue Le Dian, there is a flag stone, Kong Guang is several inches, and it is said that the Qi soldiers were broken here. Therefore, the author Zhang Tingxu (a native of Zichuan Jiazhuang in the Qianlong Period of the Qing Dynasty) went to Ledian to hang Changguo Junle Yi. Because of the harmonic sounds of "le" and "Yue", it was later called Yuedian Village.

The whole poem is extremely concise and summarized in a tortuous and complicated historical process from the time the State of Yan was greatly defeated by the State of Qi, when King Zhao of Yan took the throne, when he exerted great efforts to govern, recruited talents, and ordered the great general Le Yi to lead the troops to lead the army to fight qi and win, and then to the king of Yan Hui who was suspicious of the qi state's counter-plan and did not use Le Yi, and was defeated by the fire bull array of Qi general Tian Dan, summing up the lessons of the vicissitudes of history, and sighing with great emotion.

The first four sentences of the poem quote the allusion that King Zhao wanted to "good horses" (thousands of horses) and preferred to buy "jun bones" (the bones of good horses), winning the situation of "a famous horse running across for a while", showing his broad mind; there was also the sage Guo Kui's good strategy of "gold (Yu "Xiancai") new storage", so he "really attracted the world's talents", that is, Le Yi, Zou Yan and other good generals and talents. This is the historical background of Le Yi Vaqi.

The middle four sentences, with "Mr. YiFenqi City Broken" with the story of Le Yi's great victory over Qi, transitioned to the story of the great defeat of the Yan army by the Qi general Tian Dan with "the fire bull suddenly sent the whole army to destroy", mainly lamenting "who will be the other person in the era", that is, the King of Yan Hui won Tian Dan's counter-plan, suspected Le Yi and changed the general (riding robbery), and suffered a great defeat, so the author "still looks back on it with residual sorrow" and has a thousand feelings.

The last four sentences, in the face of the ruins in front of them, "the migration of the mausoleum valley" and "the broken temple monument", exude a sense of infinite sadness, naturally lament the history of the dispute between the Warring States and the "Seven Kingdoms Mountains and Rivers Without Ruler Soil", and see the current "Father and Elder Judas Changguo City", infinite emotion. In fact, it is a lament for le Yi Vaqi who is suspected. This is a typical work of hanging on to the past and the present. It can be seen that although the relics of Changcheng and Ledian do not exist, LeYi is still famous for eternity, and as for the merits and demerits of history, it is left to posterity to comment.

Today's Changguo City and Leyidian are ordinary Changcheng Village and Yuedian Village, but the glory of history is indelible.

Based on the pig dragon river in the 21st century, looking back at the scenery of fengshui three or four centuries ago and the former relics of the Warring States more than 2,000 years ago, we can only rely on the poems of our predecessors to be interspersed into chapters to look at the general situation and pass it on to future generations. This is my long-cherished wish for many years, nostalgia is endless, and I also do my duty to keep my homeland.
