My yellow land
What has changed is history, what has not changed is the yellow earth under the feet...
--Zhang Fenzhe
Living in a unit in the county town, living in the heart of a bustling street, I have a stinky disease, and I like to run wild in the fields in the suburbs all day... I like the land, I like to see the crops, trees, flowers and plants, local vegetables, strange things that grow in the soil, I like to smell the smell of the soil...
I was born in a small village on the Weibei Plateau, born in the soil, grown up in the soil, and have a deep affection for the yellow land of my hometown! His father left, he lived in the soil, all his relatives were next to each other, and his ancestors finally lived in the yellow land... When I was a child, I looked north to Liangshan (Qianling), and the adults said that there lived a female emperor there, and in the northeast, there was also an emperor living in a mountain (Zhaoling) that was buckled like a bucket, and the emperor's thick soil was my hometown of Xianyang Qianxian!
The vicissitudes of a thousand years of ancient rhyme have crossed this yellow land, Qianxian is Liquan County in the east, Yongshou County in the north, Xingping County in the southeast, Wugong County in the southwest, Fufeng County in the west, Linyou County in the northwest, the story of Jiang Changshengji, Jiang Ziya' sealing of the gods, Tang Emperor Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, Wu Zetian's reign in the world, etc., these have been buried in the loess from time to time as our chatter...

(Hua Zhiyuan, an 82-year-old local farmer, led the way and told us about the process of You Shixiong's tomb being razed to the ground during the cooperative period at the site of You Shixiong Cemetery, who came to Qianxian 700 years ago)
Fortunately, because of my friendship with words, I have met many masters of literary friends, and Teacher Cui Yue, a scholar of Qianzhou literature and history, often brings literary friends and poetry friends to pursue the past in this thick land! Every time I pass, history will repeat itself in front of my eyes, one inscription after another, one legendary story after another, so that I have a deeper feeling for this yellow land!
Remember 2020-12-10, Zhou Wenzhi, chairman of the Shangluo Danfeng County Literary Association, and his party visited Teacher Yan Gang of Liquan County to Qianxian County, led by Teacher Cui, to qianxian Yangshao cultural site - Qinjiazhuang section, on the mogu riverbank on the farmyard ridge, we saw about 5,000 years of dusty Jomon pottery pieces, not seen with my own eyes, I can hardly believe that the land growing under my feet is actually the cradle of Huasha history, here are all cultural faults, the groundside, the ridge, the ditch, can find four or five thousand years of pottery pieces.
Here put the past
Page after page opens gradually
The river is full of water and overgrown with trees
The Stone Age of Yangshao culture
Maybe it's a city here
There may be smoke here
People may come here
No, not maybe, yes
Look at the pieces of pottery beneath your feet
Ancient times have reappeared faintly
The history is long and long
The heart was stirred by this land again and again
……
No wonder Dan Feng sunbathed in the group and said: "Yerba Buena, you are Xianyang, you usually walk with your head down, you can still kick out a treasure with one kick..." At that time, I didn't believe it, since I went to the desert river bank of Qinjiazhuang with Teacher Cui, I believed.
(This is the piece of rope pottery that my friend and I found on the ground when we dug for cabbage.) )
Recently, we have also visited many places, such as Jiaojiatai in Wugong County, Kanghai Tomb in the Ming Dynasty, Huajiabao where the tomb of You Shixiong in the Song Dynasty is located, Lou Jingshan in Yongshou County, and Lu Jia's tomb.
The Jiaojiatai in Wugong County was the earliest platform for farming culture. Ceres Houji was the first teacher in Chinese history to teach agronomy, and it became the first agricultural college in China. The people regard food as the sky, and food must talk about studying farming. Farming is inseparable from the land, and the ancestors of the farming culture are worshipped, and the sage Houji makes this land rich in grain. Listening to Teacher Cui, Hou Ji became an official of agricultural affairs, sowing hundreds of grains on time, and Hou Ji's descendants became agricultural officials for generations until King Zhou Wu of Zhou ruled the world.
Speaking of the Zhou Dynasty, when I climbed the Panlong Temple in zhoujiahe village on the banks of the Qishui River in Qianxian County, I learned that there was a folk legend that "the prince of Panlong Temple walked." "This prince is the Weekend Emperor Zhou Zhao Wang." History records that during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, King Tai of Zhou migrated from Qishan to the sun of Qishan, and qiandi was the territory of Qizhou. In the 1988 cultural relics census, five sites of Xiaowang Village, Mali Village, Lijiatai, Zhoujiahe and Mijiahe were found on both sides of the Qishui River.
"Huxian Zhen": "Lingnuma Ruilian" article contains, in DongCun, Huxian County, according to legend, that is, the former site of King Lingnuma of ZhouWen, commonly known as Haizi. In the past, there were ponds, and lotuses were planted to blossom, and it was common to use this as the presamble of Bu Feng Nian, or the precursor of the Shiren Kedi High School, so it was called 'Ruilian'". Zhou Wen Wang Zong Temple ruins are in Hu County, the temple ruins behind about a hundred meters, there is a deep "ditch road", also known as "deep road", the edge of the low is more than one meter deep, the height of the depth of three or four meters, the bottom width of about two meters or so, the legend is that the King of Zhou Zhao cut the dragon vein left.
After walking the Zhoujia River, we went down the road to Lou Jing Mountain in Yongshou Wudian, the ancient stele forest in the Lou Jing cemetery area, called the Lou Jing Shan Stele Forest. It is together with the Forest of Steles at the Gate of Xi'an Academy and the Forest of Steles in Wushan in Baoji, and enjoys the beauty of the three major stele forests in Guanzhong, Shaanxi! It's a sight to behold!
Lou Jing offered advice and outstanding merit, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, intended to build the capital Luoyang, dominate the Central Plains, and the king came to the world. Lou Jingli resolutely decided to set the capital Chang'an, laying a solid foundation for the great cause of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years.
Then Teacher Cui took us to the tomb of Lu Jia on the bank of the Fan family in Yongshou, along the second row of dense cypress forests, we saw the tomb of Lu Jia, the inscription in front of the tomb stood, looking east towards Qianling, Teacher Cui said that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, in the special period from chaos to governance, Lu Jia read poetry and was pushed to the forefront of history. During the Chu-Han war, he only followed Liu Bang as an aide, and because he was able to speak eloquently and often sent envoys to lobby the princes, this Confucian student, who was deeply appreciated by the King of Han, showed an extraordinary talent for seeking the country in peacetime. According to the evaluation of historians, Lu Jia was the first thinker of the Han Dynasty to vigorously advocate Confucianism, and in view of the specific era and political needs of the early Han Dynasty, he took Confucianism as the foundation, integrated the ideas of Huang Lao Daoist and The Fa, and proposed "practicing benevolence and righteousness, the law before the sacred, the combination of etiquette and law, and the rule of inaction", which theoretically solved how the Han Dynasty governed, laid the basic model for the ruling ideology of the early Western Han Dynasty, and was a milestone in the history of Chinese thought.
In the long river of history, especially in the minds of historians, Lu Jia is a well-deserved, well-deserved, well-remembered, and truly the first great hero of the early Han Dynasty. It is really "a generation of talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years."
Shaanxi is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation, and thirteen dynasties such as western Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties have built their capitals here in history. In this fertile hot land, how many emperors and generals, heroes Haojie and strategists have staged a thrilling, famous and enlightening living drama.
Whether it is a hero in the storm, a warrior in the bloody rain, or a poor ordinary person, the course of their lives has been written into this yellow land!
"I grabbed the loess with my hand and stuck it tightly to my heart..."
"Why do I always have tears in my eyes, because I love this land so much!"
Standing on this yellow land at this moment, there are yellow earth songs that I can't finish shouting...
Everything in the world was born from the soil, life began here, Chinese civilization began here, and everything in science and technology was inseparable from the land. For hundreds of millions of years, who can have so many memories of the land, who can walk out of this yellow land again, the land has been watching, listening to all that happened to her, and hiding all this deep in her heart.
O land! I kiss the thick yellow earth! I love you! I don't know what your source is, nor do I know what your future will be, I only know that as a son and daughter of China, I grew up in the prosperous world, grew up on the imperial land of Daqianzhou, Xianyang, Shaanxi! How happy and proud I am! I am your child and I love you! Just like, my father, who loves me deep in the earth, is you who gives me life and skin color, and you give me the courage and strength to live! I'm tired, I'm crying, laughing, and excited, I'll snuggle in your arms, and only you ----- taste my tears!
