Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

Read the history of the present, the history of Guangxi all over the commentary, the lesser-known history of the local history, welcome to pay attention!

When it comes to the relationship between the Guangxi region and the emperor, many people naturally think of the various ancient kingdoms established in Guangxi in ancient times, the leaders of various local regimes, such as Luo Yue, Xi'ou, and Gu Cangwu; the middle such as the Shi'an Kingdom, the Great Southern Kingdom, the Southern Ming Regime; the near ones such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Dacheng Kingdom, and so on.

These ancient countries, the leaders of the regime, can also be regarded as the role of the emperor, but also become the subject of many history lovers, a large number of online articles searched, these people's various stories are widely disseminated. But strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as real "emperors", at most they can only be regarded as partial security regimes, the rulers of local political power, and the earth emperors. The real emperors in the history books generally refer to the leaders of the great unified dynasties in the twenty-five histories, which is also known as the orthodox emperors.

Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

In ancient Chinese history, there were more than 400 emperors recorded in the change of dynasties, imperial thrones, and the twenty-five main histories recorded that they had served as emperors, and the places of origin and place of origin of these emperors were concentrated in several provinces according to the current administrative division. If you count it this way, then the Guangxi territory really did not have a real emperor in ancient times.

However, since the ancient emperor's royal affairs are many, coupled with the vast territory, the royal descendants of successive dynasties have always been divided into various places, and there are various stories, such as being a king in a local area, and finally having the opportunity to enter Beijing and become the king of a dynasty; for example, the emperor's family has a conflict, and finally runs away from the place. In this way, there are also some stories of emperors on the boundaries of Guangxi!

Guangxi is located in Lingnan, since ancient times is considered to be a barbaric land, backward land, in various dynasties and generations of foreign historical figures, there is a law, basically are civilian officials degraded, military officers, look and have nothing to do with those who have been emperors!

Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

As far as the civil officials are concerned, Guangxi, as one of the places where officials are exiled, there are many well-known people in exile, just to say that Tang poems, song poems, hundreds of common poets, have a number of records of being degraded in Guangxi, such as Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty, Song Zhiqing, Zhang Jiuling; Mi Fu and Huang Tingjian in the Song Dynasty; Xie Jin in the Ming Dynasty, etc., and the detailed translation is a long list.

As far as military attaches are concerned, there are also several well-known figures who have fought in Guangxi, such as Lei Guan'er, such as Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty, Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty, Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.

The historical status of these civilian officials and military generals, not to say how high and heavy, is still enjoyed by the world, but they are only officials of various dynasties and generations, the courtiers of people, and they are not as high as generals. Then, as a figure of the level of emperor of the Great Unification Dynasty, in such a historical environment as Guangxi, which one of them has had grassroots experience in Guangxi's land boundary?

Flipping through the local chronicles of Guangxi, I really recorded the stories of several emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties.

Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

During the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court implemented the system of confinement to remote areas, which was actually an administrative system for the Tang Dynasty to manage remote ethnic minority areas, because of regional cultural differences, these minority areas did not accept the control of the central imperial dynasty, and under the system of qiangzhou, there were also many incidents from time to time, in order to strengthen local control, the Tang Dynasty introduced the system of moderation that finally made itself perish.

By the time the Song Dynasty took over, most of the administrative system followed the Tang system, and by 1119, in the territory of present-day Guangxi, Yizhou was upgraded to Qingyuan Army, which was a military state, a military organ, and a garrison, and the purpose was the military control of this area by the Central Imperial Dynasty, and the geographical situation in this area was quite complicated, according to the "History of Song", Qingyuan Military Rule was in Yizhou, and at that time there were more than sixty large and small prefectures under its jurisdiction.

As a local administration set up by the Song court, the Qingyuan army naturally needed someone to be the leader, and by the time of the Song Chunyou year, Zhao Yu, who was still a few years old in the Song imperial family at the time, was appointed as the yizhou observation envoy and the qingyuan army jiedushi envoy, which was also the consistent operation of the imperial family, and the division of the seal, regardless of age, as long as it was a royal descendant.

As for what kind of things and roles this young Qingyuan junjiedushi did in office, there are few records in the historical records, but it is known that later, he was named the Duke of Yiguo, and in 1264 he became the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty), known in history as Song Duzong, and the era name Xianchun. Taking advantage of the emperor's pre-reign, the area was upgraded to Qingyuan Province in 1265, and from then on, it was established until the early years of the Republic of China.

It is said that among the eighteen emperors of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, in addition to the grass-roots experience of Song Duzong Zhao Yu in Guangxi, there are two, saying that Song Gaozong Zhao Shuo worked in Guilin and Song Yingzong Zhao Shu also did things in the Qingyuan Army, but the local records of these two Song Emperors have not been turned to records for the time being, and they will be seen another day.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there were also emperors who stayed at the grassroots level in Guangxi before they ascended the throne, and left important historical sites. However, which emperor it was, this is controversial, one said Yuan Shun Emperor, the other said Yuan Wen Emperor, different historical records of different historical periods have different statements (should be Yuan Shun Emperor is correct).

The location is certain, that is the current Guigang Nanshan Temple.

Guigang Nanshan Temple, however, has a different imperial story, and is known as the ancient temple in Guangxi that has received the most imperial books from the emperor. According to the Qing "Xunzhou FuZhi" and "Guixian Chronicle", Tang Wuhou gave 5,000 volumes of scriptures, Song Taizong gave 224 scrolls of imperial books, and Song Renzong gave the door of "Jingyou Zen Temple".

More Yuan Shun Emperor did not become emperor before, when playing in Guangxi, he specially entered this place, and hand-wrote "Nanshan Temple" three big characters have been passed down to this day.

Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

As mentioned earlier, the legend of the emperor of Guigang Nanshan Temple under the prestige is controversial, and later books are all suspicious, such as the Republic of China's "Guixian Chronicle", which proposes: The fact that Nanshan Temple received five thousand volumes of imperial gifts during the time of Wuhou did not exist, and should have been falsely transmitted by the Song Dynasty Emperor Taizong; and there is also the three words of "Nanshan Temple" written by Emperor Yuanwen instead of by Emperor Yuanshun.

In the end, in fact, looking at the history of Nanshan Temple itself, you can judge one or two. It is said that in the year of Song Jingyou, Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen was a person who worshipped F cultivators, and felt that the monasteries were nameless and the monasticism was not correct, so he ordered "destroying the temples in the world" and vigorously cleaning up all kinds of temples. That is to say, all temples and monasteries that do not have plaque inscriptions are not considered regular monasteries, and all are considered illegal construction and must be demolished.

At that time, Nanshan Temple may be called Nanshan Temple, but there is no plaque, so in the list of rectification, but turn over the archives, this Nanshan Temple is a temple that has been given a letter by Emperor Taizong, and it is famous, plus at that time, this is also the seat of Guizhou Prefecture, such a level of a temple, the temple that Taizong attaches importance to, was demolished by Sun Renzong, and Renzong as a grandson was also a bit unfilial.

So I simply wrote a plaque and sent it, and the temple was included in the list of exemptions, so that the temple was retained, and there was a new name - "Jingyou Zen Temple", which further enhanced the reputation of this temple.

By 1330, the Yuan Shun Emperor, who had not yet ascended the throne at that time, was exiled to Jingjiang (Guilin), and within a year, he lived in the Dayuan Temple, studied F chanting with the master of the temple, and was affected, and should have heard about the Jingyou Zen Temple, which was a little famous hundreds of kilometers away, and the attention of two generations of Song Emperors.

As a result, he also had the action of going to the Jingyou Zen Temple, as to why he ran hundreds of kilometers to see the Jingyou Temple, was it the Zen Enlightenment F Sutra, or the "Renzong Shengzhi" behind Zhao Zhen, the writer of the Zen Society"? Did he write the three words "Nanshan Temple" to express a kind of admiration and imitation of Song Renzong? What kind of enlightenment did a visit to Nanshan Temple bring him?

Did the similar fate of Zhao Zhen, the writer of "Jingyou Zen Temple", and the writer of "Nanshan Temple", Bo'er Only Jin TuJu Timur, begin with Nanshan Temple?

That doesn't know.

It is only known that three years later, Themu'er was welcomed back to Shangdu and became the Yuan Shun Emperor, and it can be seen that after he came to power, he did implement a series of reforms to try to save the Yuan Dynasty's ruling crisis, and the Yuan Dynasty also had a prosperous appearance, which was called "Zhizheng New Deal" by historians. Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to fundamentally solve the social problems that had accumulated for a long time, and in the case of internal and external troubles, he also gave up his original intention and became the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

The same is the Guigang Nanshan Temple, which also leads to a Ming Dynasty topic emperor - Jianwen Emperor.

According to Qing Tongzhi's "Xunzhou Fuzhi" Guangxu "Guixian Zhi", Ming Jianwen Emperor was exiled as a monk, and finally lived in the Nanshan Temple for a long time, more than eighty years old, old and worried, although he chanted the sutra for many years for the monk, but the earthly fate is not over, still miss the old land of the capital, how his mood is, there are poems as evidence:

Exiled to the southwest forty autumns,

Xiao Xiao's white sideburns were already in full swing.

Where is the hate in Qiankun,

Jianghan relentless water flows freely.

The clouds in the Changle Palace dispersed,

The rain in the Weiyang Hall was sad.

The new pu fine willow is green every year,

The wild old man swallowed and cried endlessly.

In the end, he went to the Si'en Mansion to find Chen Ying, sent her back to the capital, and entered the Ouchi to die.

What about the truth of the record of this place? Was Emperor Jianwen really sent back to Ouchi to die? That's going to have to be said slowly.

Lovers who read the history of the Ming Dynasty know that the mystery of the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen can be said to be one of the top ten unsolved cases of the Ming Dynasty, which has been relished by Ye Shi for hundreds of years, and is the talk of the after-dinner.

When Zhu Di, the King of Yan, pressed for Nanjing, after a fire in the imperial palace, several remains were identified as Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao, empress, and the eldest son of the emperor, thus Zhu Di officially ascended the throne. But then, several unrecognizable remains still made people wonder, so the mystery of Emperor Jianwen was also rumored to be escaped, and those bodies were just stand-ins. Therefore, there was the suspicion that Hu Qian went out to tour the provinces to find Emperor Jianwen, Zheng He went to the West to find Emperor Jianwen, and so on, anyway, many events in the Ming Yongle period were related to the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen.

So what was the end of The Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunjiao? In the anecdotes, the most wild history, that is, he became a monk, traveled in all directions, nowhere to find, and the monks traveled to many places, so it is not surprising that many places have legends about him. Did he finally go to The Nanshan Temple in Guigang, live to be more than eighty years old, and finally return to Beijing to grow old? Is the local chronicle of Xunzhou Prefecture and Guixian in the Qing Dynasty true?

The same is the Republic of China's "Guixian Chronicle", which raised questions, first of all, when the Ming Dynasty was orthodox, there was only Cen Ying in the Si'en Mansion, and Chen Ying was a mispronunciation; secondly, the whereabouts of Ming Jianwen had been "much different" for hundreds of years, and at the same time pointed out another version of the poem, that is, "wandering" was "prison fall", and "Weiyang Palace" was "Chaoyuan Pavilion", which vaguely pointed out that Emperor Jianwen really returned to the capital.

Anyway, the Republic of China's "Guixian Chronicle" believes that Emperor Jianwen's invisibility in Nanshan Temple should be false rumors, and the real should be in Hengzhou Shoufo Temple, and finally returned to the capital as true.

Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

The statement of the Republic of China's "Guixian Zhi" has been confirmed by the earlier Qianlong "Hengzhou Zhi", "Hengzhou Zhi" believes that Emperor Jianwen was finally in Hengzhou ShouFo Temple, the reason why it was falsely rumored as Guixian Nanshan Temple, that is because one of the two poems he left behind, "Yu Hengzhou Nanshan Shou Buddha Temple", in the process of being disseminated by posterity, may go to the beginning and end, it is also misrepresented as "Yu Nanshan Temple", just Guixian Nanshan Temple has the aura of imperial legend, has a certain popularity, so, in the year of Tongzhi, Guangxu Year, was worn by Zhang Guan Li, There is also the saying that Emperor Jianwen was in The Nanshan Temple in Guixian County.

As for the final destination of Emperor Jianwen, Qianlong's "Hengzhou Zhi" also gave a more affirmative record, and the same poem, the version of "Hengzhou Zhi" has a big difference.

First, this poem is recorded under the name of Emperor Jianwen, and the poem is called "North Return To the Road", the meaning is very clear, Emperor Jianwen returned to Beijing.

Second, "forty autumns in the rivers and lakes", "rivers and lakes" can better express the exiled life of Emperor Jianwen than "southwest".

Third, "I don't feel the snow when I return", which is an exclamation of looking back on decades of life.

Fourth, "the cloud shadow in the Changle Palace", the loss of the imperial figure for ten years, after experiencing the wind and rain in the world, this loss cannot be eliminated by reading the decades of scripture, after all, from the highest position in the world, to the empty door and the cloud traveling the world, the experience of suffering in the middle, "cloud shadow" will always be "dark", not "cloud qi" dissipation and "dispersion". If Emperor Jianwen could really cultivate to the point of letting go of earthly distractions and reaching the realm of invisibility and avoidance, then he would not have returned to Beijing to end his life.

Fifth, "the rain in the Zhaoyang Hall is sad", that "Zhaoyang Hall" is more helpless than "Weiyang Palace", "Chaoyuan Pavilion" is more helpless, more realistic, because the Changle Palace was built by Zhu Di, which also alludes to Jianwen's own complicated feelings about Zhu Di, can't put it down, can't let go, listen to the "sound of rain", not "sad", it is impossible.

Guangxi Humanities: The story and legend of the three emperors of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in Guangxi

The lonely lamp remains, the legend does not stop, how the final whereabouts of Emperor Ming Jianwen is, the history has never had an answer, and the words in these local chronicles are nothing more than a family's words, or hearsay, or mysterious, or far-fetched, adding humanistic heritage to the localities and adding incense legends to the monasteries.

Just like this "North Return Journey", in just two or three hundred years, there are several versions, and each version of the word is different, but it is smooth, but the meaning expressed is different, which is more like the subjective understanding of the matter by the latecomers, rather than the true inner thoughts and feelings of Emperor Jianwen himself.

How true is the Guangxi story of Song Duzong, Emperor Yuanshun, and Emperor Ming Jianwen, and their experiences are rarely recorded in the main history, true and false, false and true, only in a few words, it also gives future generations room to talk, depending on how individuals understand!

Emperor Duzong of Song was in Yizhou, Emperor Yuanshun was in Guilin, and Emperor Ming Jianwen was in Hengzhou.
