In the minds of Chinese, the four words "the end of the world" have a very special meaning, which is not only a sign of geographical location, but also has a different meaning in emotion, such as cherishing friendship, yearning for love and so on.
Today, when people mention "Tianya Haijiao", they will think of the Tianya Haijiao Tourist Area located in Sanya, Hainan, in fact, in Qinzhou and Lianzhou, Guangxi, there are "Tianya Pavilion" and "Haijiao Pavilion", especially the Tianya Pavilion in Qinzhou, Guangxi, which is more than 770 years earlier than the Tianya Scenic Spots in Hainan, and the story behind it is more worth exploring.
Located in Zhongshan Park in Qinzhou, Guangxi, this Tianya Pavilion was built during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty and presided over by Tao Bi, then zhizhou of Qinzhou.
Tianya Pavilion is about 5 meters high and 4 meters wide, and on the cornices of the north and south sides, there is a plaque of "Song Trace Three Migrations" and "Tianya Pavilion", of which the plaque of "Song Trace Three Migrations" was previously inscribed by the Republic of China politician and calligrapher Lin Yi, but later lost, and today's plaque is written by contemporary calligrapher Wang Zhaoru in 1986.
So, why did the Song Dynasty build a Tianya Pavilion in Qinzhou, Guangxi? This matter has to start from the Song Dynasty Qinzhou Zhizhou Tao Bi.
Tao Bi was a native of Qiyang County, Hunan Province, and when he received the appointment to zhizhou in Qinzhou, his heart was very complicated and he could not arouse his interest. According to common sense, serving as a governor of a state is a great joy for officials, who can govern one side, show great ambitions, and benefit the people, but why can't Tao Bi raise his interest?
First of all, Qinzhou is located in Lingnan, thousands of miles away from the inland of the Central Plains, in that era of traffic congestion and lack of information, people naturally regard Qinzhou as a remote and miasma place.
Secondly, Qinzhou in the Song Dynasty was a place to exile criminals and degrade officials, and for this reason, a "prison city" was specially built in Qinzhou City, so Tao Bi, who was on the way to his post, had his sorrow overshadowed his joy.
However, after arriving in Qinzhou, It made Tao Bi look at Qinzhou with astonishment, and this remote town was also very intoxicating. However, after all, Qinzhou is thousands of miles away from home, and on the occasion of the good festival, Tao Bi's heart will inevitably flood with homesickness.
Under the influence of multiple factors, Tao Bi built this Tianya Pavilion in Pingnan Gudutou, Qinzhou during the Celebration Calendar, in addition to relieving homesickness, Tianya Pavilion also has the meaning of building a frontier and educating one side.
As for why it is called "Tianya Pavilion", Tao Bi said so: "Qincheng is bordered by the ocean in the south, and the address is handed over in the west, so it is named after Tianya, and hepu is called Haijiaoye." ”
In the nearly thousand years since then, Tianyating has experienced great changes like vicissitudes and had a past of "three moves".
The first move, which took place during the Chunxi Baoqing period in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, was moved from the pingnan ancient ferry port to the east gate of the city.
The second move occurred during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when the Tianya Pavilion was seriously damaged, and Yu Sanwei of Zhixian rebuilt the Tianya Pavilion on the original site of Pingnan Gudu.
The third move occurred in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, when Zhang Cuilun, the county magistrate of Qin County, demolished the Tianya Pavilion in order to build a road and rebuilt it on a stone pier in the southwest corner of the old nongjie, which is today's Zhongshan Park.
After three moves, the Tianya Pavilion can be preserved, which is not easy!
The strong cultural accumulation adds a sense of heaviness to tianyating, making it shine in the ordinary years. According to the Qinzhou local chronicles from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, there are no less than 30 poems written by literati inkers praising Tianya pavilion, such as Wang Shishou of Qinzhou Zhizhou in the Ming Dynasty, who once wrote: "During the sunset of the lonely pavilion on the river, the white clouds are babbling." By virtue of the void, I did not see the moon of Eun Mei, in order to block the end of the world. ”
The "Record of Tianya Pavilion" written by Tao Yufan in the Ming Dynasty is similar to Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Louji", although the artistic conception of the words and sentences is not as good as the latter, but it also vividly depicts the natural scenery of Qinzhou and the daily life of the people.
In modern times, Tianya Pavilion has also welcomed many celebrities, such as the great painter Qi Baishi, who visited Qinzhou three times in his life, and also specially engraved a seal of "Tianya Pavilion Passerby".
On the stone carving next to the Tianya Pavilion, there is also a poem written by the famous lyricist Tian Han: "The canal rolls into the lake, and the character dangerous pavilion is full of grass." The writer clearly cherishes the homeland, why should Qinzhou be the end of the world. ”
In addition, the Cape Pavilion, which is as famous as the Tianya Pavilion, is located in Lianzhou Middle School in Hepu County, Beibu Bay, and was built during the Jingde period of the Northern Song Dynasty to commemorate the story of "going to the pearl and restoring the pearls" in the Han Dynasty Hepu County.
As for the origin of the name Haijiao Pavilion, it is related to Fan Huan, the envoy of Suzheng Lian in Hainan Haibei in the Yuan Dynasty, who wrote in the "Record of Rebuilding the Cape Pavilion": "Qin Lian is secluded in Baiyue, thousands of miles away from China, and the south of the county is the shore of the ocean, and Lian lives in its fold, so it is known that haijiao is also." ”
The Cape Pavilion is divided into two entrances, the first entrance is the gate tower, consisting of a circular arch and two ear doors, the book above the main entrance has a plaque of "Sea and Sky Victory", the second entrance is the Cape Pavilion, and the plaque of "Ten Thousand Miles to the Sky" on the pavilion is written by Su Dongpo, a generation of great writers.
In that year, Su Dongpo had just returned from Danzhou, Hainan, and when he passed through Hepu, under the hospitality of the local gentry, he boarded the Shanghai Corner Pavilion and was in a very comfortable mood, leaving behind this precious ink treasure.
Qinzhou Tianya Pavilion and Lianzhou Cape Pavilion, which has a history of nearly a thousand years, is not only a pavilion, but a witness of history, just like gemini, silently guarding Qinzhou and Lianzhou in the long years, becoming a unique local humanistic scenery and spiritual sustenance. #北部湾之星钦州 #
