Introduction: There was such a place in ancient China that made Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty boldly say:
"The shangdang has never been the backbone of the world" and "in ancient times, it will be the land of soldiers.".
Su Dongpo, whom we also call Su Shi, is a famous person
"One of the Eight Greats of the Tang and Song Dynasties"
Where in the introduction can the great poets of the Song Dynasty be so highly praised? That's right, the title already tells us,
On the party
。 Maybe many readers have not heard of shangdang, and they do not know where he is? Although his name is not as brilliant as Xi'an, Luoyang, Beijing and Nanjing, in fact, his history and status are not inferior to them, and some people even compare the geographical location of the Party to it
"In the midst of the world"
, enough to see its historical status.
Speaking of the Shangdang, it is necessary to promote the long rule, and when it comes to the long rule, it is necessary to mention the famous Shangdang campaign
If you have not heard of the party, you have heard of the present
Changzhi
？ It is okay not to hear of Changzhi, but also to hear of the famous Shangdang Battle. The Shangdang Campaign was fought
The first shot of the War of Liberation
In this campaign, the People's Liberation Army annihilated 11 divisions of Yan Xishan in one fell swoop, making the Kuomintang troops in Shanxi panic for a long time, not only relieving the threat of the Kuomintang army to the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Liberated Area, but also laying the conditions for the Chongqing negotiations and even the subsequent victory in the Liberation War. Shangdang became famous in this battle, and at the same time confirmed the importance of Shangdang's status.
Battle of the Shangdang
Why is the Shangdang also called Changzhi? The original meaning is so rich and legendary
Shangdang is now also called Changzhi, in ancient times it was also called Shangdang County, Luzhou, Lu'an, etc., and Changzhi was originally
Lu'an Province
The name of the county where the prefectural government is located, this county is called
Changzhi County
, and the ancient Changzhi County people are fierce, the imperial court army often went to surround and suppress the peasant army, the Ming Dynasty is even more headache, that year sent a full 100,000 troops to suppress the rebellion, and later in order to educate the villagers here, to maintain stability, Ming Jiajing eight years, that is, in 1529 AD, the imperial court renamed Shangdang County to Changzhi County, which means long-term peace and stability, Changzhi County was under the jurisdiction of Lu'an Province at that time. And then came
During the Liberation War
，
The three-level system of provinces, provinces, and counties was implemented, and Lu'an Province was abolished
The original Lu'an Province has long been renamed Changzhi City.
Remnants of the Ming Dynasty Shangdang
Why was the Shangdang in ancient times called "the middle of the world" and "the ridge of the world"?
Shangdang is located in the southeast of Shanxi Province, surrounded by the Taihang Mountains and the Taiyue Mountains, in the middle basin, north of the Jinzhong region of Shanxi, the east and south of the current Hebei Henan Province, his southwest is Linfen City, which was the birthplace of the Yellow River culture in ancient times, the hometown of the descendants of Yan huang, the ancient capital city that once governed affairs of Yao Shunyu, such as Yaodu Pingyang and Yudu Anyi, are all located within the radiation range of the Shangdang Basin, is this not the meaning of "under the heavens"?
The birthplace of Yanhuang culture
Some people say that Shangdang is not true as the "ridge of the world", the highest of the Taihang Mountains is only two thousand meters, looking at the whole country, there are countless peaks of more than 2000 meters, but I think that the "ridge of the world" here in ancient times does not refer to how high his altitude is, but his status and reputation are too high, it is a place where soldiers in various periods must compete, which is why during the Warring States period, Korea took Shangdang as its capital, and the Qin Dynasty unified the world and set up Shangdang as one of the thirty-six counties, that is, Shangdang County.
Looking for the source of the initiation of Chinese culture is better than finding the Yellow River, and the Yellow River culture is inseparable from the Party
Since ancient times, China has had the saying that "five thousand years of culture looks at Shanxi", and Shanxi should look at the party, and today's Shangdang, that is, Changzhi now has the shangdang gate of the shangdang county office of the ancient Qin Dynasty and the largest existing city god temple in China, the Lu'anfu City God Temple with a central axis length of 408 meters.
Zhu Xi, the great Confucian of the Song Dynasty, said in the "Zhuzi Language Class - Taiji Heaven and Earth Theory": "The extreme height of the Taihang Mountain. Pingyang Jinzhou Pushaka, the end of the mountain, yao shun's capital. ”
Not only the Song Dynasty, but also many historical texts point out that the birthplace of Yao Shunyu culture is closely related to the Shangdang region.
The Nine-Curved and Eighteen-Bend Yellow River
When it comes to the historical relics and culture of the Shangdang area, there are too many to list, such as the Nan ne shui stone carvings of the Southern Ne Shui in the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Guqin County in the Shangdang Area, the Nan Ne Shui Hong Sect In the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty Faxing Temple in Changzi County, and then the Memorial Hall of the Eighth Route Army in Wuxiang County during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The Shangdang region has always occupied a place in China's history, whether it is the Yao Shunyu period, or the Tang, Song, Yuan, and then to the period of the Anti-Japanese And Liberation War, the Shangdang culture has been deeply implanted in our lives, and now we revisit the origin culture, remember the red spirit, look back at the past with an open attitude, and stride towards the future with a high spirit.
