Jinmen Walking Pen - Exploring Tianjin's "Birthday Eight Characters"

Jinmen Walking Pen - Exploring Tianjin's "Birthday Eight Characters"

Tianjin, born in Hahai, named Gyeonggi. If it is said that between the two compartments of the Heavenly Dao and the personnel, the birth of a famous city has its fate, it can be read as the "birthday eight characters" of Tsumen, exploring the past life and this life.

"10,000 years of cultural history, 5,000 years of civilization history" is the Chinese people's magnificent recollection of the origin of the nation, and the Youyan land far away from the Central Plains has never been absent. Looking back at Tianjin's previous life, when the dawn of civilization shines like "full of stars" shining in Shenzhou, Tianjin belongs to the northern fauna of the "six major communities" of prehistoric culture, and has merged into the tributaries for the torso of the Chinese nation's "pluralism and unity". As early as 10,000 years ago, in the Paleolithic Age, the ancestors of Tianjin left footprints in the eastern foothills of Yanshan in the area of present-day Jizhou, and about 8,000 years ago, ancestors from Yanshan and Taihang successively settled in the foothills of the mountains. The seeds of Tianjin culture first landed here, after a long period of development in the Xia and Shang dynasties, and since then it has belonged to a well-known name - Yuyang. "Born in Shihan Yu Lin Lang, he first rode with Yuyang." It has long been the intersection of nomadic and agricultural cultures, growing on the blades of war, and in literary imagery, it represents the heroes and heroes of the northern frontier.

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou metric system of ceremonies and music and the construction of princes promoted a new round of leaps and unifications of Chinese civilization, greatly changed the pattern of all states under the heavens since the Yellow Emperor, and was praised by Mr. Liang Qichao as a great revolution that can be discussed with the Xinhai Revolution. In the Hongbo of the progress of civilization, Gui, who was the eldest son of King Wenshu, was divided into yan kingdoms in the border court. Since then, the Central Plains civilization has taken root in Tianjin, clashed with indigenous cultural exchanges, and gradually merged into the mainstream of Chinese civilization. In the following hundreds of years, the mountain rong that grew in Yanshan erupted with tenacious vitality, once strong enough to threaten the survival of the princes. The Yan people were forced to ask the State of Qi for help, and Duke Huan, assisted by Guan Zhong, made a large-scale northern expedition to save the crisis. This history, which is related to the process of civilization, was praised by Confucius as "micro-tube Zhong, I wear the hair left!" ”

On the occasion of three generations, another period of history that changed the fate of Tianjin between heaven and man was that as the sea receded, the eastern plain gradually became a land, providing a stage for the birth of the Jinmen in the next life. In the course of the sea retreat, four or five shell embankments that are rare in the world have been left behind, witnessing the footprints of the heavens. Today, the Yellow River, which flows into the sea in Lu, has entered the sea in Tianjin three times in two thousand years, until the Yellow River of the Jin Dynasty went south to seize Huaihuai, and the coastline of Tianjin was finally fixed. From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tianjin witnessed the confrontation between Wei Wu and Song and Liao from a unique perspective, where the northern and southern regimes once looked across the river. After the formation of the Haihe River system, the division and chaos of Kyushu, especially the relocation of China's political center from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the border of Youyan, has brought about the prosperity of the canal and the development of water transportation. From the landform to the culture, and even the rank of the whole country, Tianjin has undergone great changes. It is reminiscent of Dongpo's famous sentence: "Once the sun and the moon were geometric, and the rivers and mountains cannot be recognized!" ”

The confluence of rivers and seas shapes the character of Tianjin. As early as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Tianjin became a maritime land and water terminal, transporting bulk materials from the south to the frontier towns in the north, and Zhigu Zhai in the Jin Dynasty and Haijin Town in the Yuan Dynasty were established successively. Mazu, the sea god from the south, blessed his people to chop the waves and take root in Jinmen. In the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Three Forks River Estuary formed by the Grand Canal was excavated in the Sui Dynasty, and the Tianfei Palace was built to worship Mazu, becoming one of the most famous Mazu temples in China. The people are inseparable from the blessings of Mazu, living next to each other next to the Virgin, and becoming the "Hometown of Jinmen" where Tianjin originated. I think that faith, therefore, lies in transcending the finite present moment and pinning on the ultimate pursuit. "First there was the Tianfei Palace, then there was the Tianjin Guard", and what gave birth to Tianjin City was the power of faith.

Entering the hometown of Jinmen, the Tianfei Palace was still in the center, and it looked more honorable than the Jade Emperor Pavilion, which was high in the center of the universe not far away. After all, this is the human world, people rely more on the care of the mother, and the goddess of Chinese is the highest representative of motherhood. In Chinese culture, the value of life does not lie in individual existence, but in life and death. Just like our Grandma Taishan in Shandong, she can enter the hearts of her people more than the Emperor Of Dongyue, who is at the top of Taidai. Grandma Tianfei and Grandma Taishan, a southern sea god, a northern mountain god, a sea goddess, a goddess descended, can not be with a heart of love, sincerity, blessing the people through the waves of life. The reason why man is human, the reason why I am me, lies in the soul. I don't know if there is an afterlife, but I think that the gods Chinese are not in the transcendent world, but the embodiment of the nature of the Heavenly Dao in the human world, representing the power of virtue to support the human world. Let us love, let us be in awe, let us take refuge. The "Left Biography" said: "God, wise and upright, and one who is one."

What finally made Tianjin City fall to the ground was the great change in personnel. During the Jianwen period, the greatest impact of the Battle of Jingnan on Chinese history was not to change the inheritance of the throne, but to move China's political center steadily to Beijing, overlooking the whole country with the momentum of Jiannan. After seizing power, Ming Chengzu named Tianjin, The Heavenly Son's Tsu, the Jindu that had been marching south. The geographical significance of Tianjin is then highlighted: if Shanhaiguan is the throat of the Beijing Division, and Badaling is the back heart of the Beijing Division, then Tianjin is the gateway to the left. This situation will become more obvious with the advent of the great navigation era, foreshadowing the fate of Tianjin. On November 21, 2012, Tianjin Wei was established, and Tianjin became the only city in ancient China with an exact founding time.

It is not difficult to imagine that during the six hundred years of the Ming and Qing dynasties, guarding the gateway of the Beijing Division and ensuring the transportation of the Beijing Division will become the heavy responsibility of the world on the shoulders of Jinmen. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Tianjin rose from Wei to Prefecture and then to Fu, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it became the residence of the Viceroy of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang. The convenience of transportation, the gathering of materials, the development of industry and commerce, and the prestige of Zunlong have brought Tianjin an innate prosperity and prosperity, evolved into a colorful intangible cultural heritage, and infiltrated into the bones of fireworks. From cross-talk drum music to commentary acrobatics, the colorful city life has brought about the prosperity of the "hometown of qu art", which echoes with our "Qushan Art Sea" in Jinan. "Learning art in Beijing, practicing in Tianjin, and kicking the field in Jinan" has become a portrayal of the great prosperity of traditional folk art. In jinmen's hometown, the salesman Xiaomei promoted her hometown in fluent Tianjin dialect: "Why do you say Wei Zuizi?" We Tianjin people can say that one is delicious, just keep you early for a month without repeating! ”

However, Qianjia has fallen, and just as Chinese indulged in the twilight of the golden age, Western scientific and technological civilization has risen on the other side of the Eurasian continent, setting off a frenzy that swept the world. After the Second Opium War and the Battle of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Tianjin, which guarded the gateway of the Beijing Division, bore the brunt of it, and the Front Line of Dagukou was lost several times, and Shenjing fell with it. "There is a way under the heavens, and it is in the Four Yis." When the ocean changed from a graben to a passageway, the guardian of the sea frontier could only go to deep blue, and the decaying late Qing Dynasty was always unable to build sea power, which was tantamount to exposing the chest to the front. The victory in the Second Battle of Dagukou, the hysterical struggle of the Boxers, the irretrievable situation, and the unequal treaties that followed, like nooses, suffocated China and accelerated the deep fission of Chinese society. Since then, the nine Western countries have occupied the concession in Tianjin, reaching eight times the old city, which is not only a humiliating country within a country, but also a bridgehead for the introduction of modern civilization, and the appearance of Tianjin has changed.

On the international stage, the defeated have no justice, and the Chinese people have no choice but to fight. Since the Western Affairs Movement, Tianjin has become the northern communication center of modern industrial civilization and the forefront of the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures. Li Hongzhang was stationed in Tianjin for twenty-five years, and during the Restoration Movement, Yan Fu publicized the change of law here, and Sheng Xuanhuai opened China's first modern university, Beiyang University Hall. During the New Deal period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai served as the governor directly under him, and Tianjin became the experimental base of the New Deal. The small station training not only laid the foundation of the Beiyang clique and profoundly shaped the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, but also pioneered the modernization of China's military system. Creation of the police system, creation of modern prisons, first election of deputies... From the political, economic and cultural aspects, Tianjin has been at the forefront of modernization. In the era of chaos, Jinmen became the first choice for the powerful in the capital to live, and a large amount of wealth and cultural relics flowed into Tianjin. The last emperor Puyi was robbed here and sent to the northeast to form the puppet state of Manchukuo. "A hundred years of China looking at Tianjin", is this history wonderful or helpless? Is it progress or humiliation? The rivers and seas are dizzying.

What determines China's destiny is the reunification of the country and the choice of the road. In the Era of the Republic of China, it was faced with broken mountains and rivers, internal and external troubles, and there was no reason for peaceful construction. Japan claimed to have won the Central Plains for a thousand years, and after 918, it occupied the northeast to seek north China, and the Republic of China invaded the Great Wall in the spring of the 22nd year. Generals Song Zheyuan and Zhang Zizhong led the Northwest Army to revolt and once won a great victory at Xifengkou, but in the end, the national strength was disparity and the return to heaven was powerless. After Japan won the hand, the Tanggu Armistice Agreement and the "He Mei Agreement" were signed in Tianjin one after another, the Japanese army temporarily withdrew north of the Great Wall, China acquiesced to the status quo in Manchuria, and Japan exerted some tricks such as dividing the armed zone in eastern Hebei to weaken the presence of the Nationalist government in north China, and both sides were preparing for future duels. At a difficult time, General Zhang Zizhong became the mayor of Tianjin. After the July 7 Incident, in the face of the unpredictable situation, the Northwest Army once fantasized about preserving its strength, Pingjin quickly fell, Tianjin became a logistics base for the Japanese army and a port for trafficking in Chinese workers, and General Zhang Zizhong was saddled with the insult of being a traitor. Snow shame is greater than life. From the Battle of Xuzhou to the Battle of Zaoyi, General Zhang Zizhong took the iron-blooded War of Resistance as the honor of the soldiers, and Ma Ge wrapped his body, achieving immortality and becoming the eternal pride of Jinmen. Coming out of the mix always has to pay back. Japan chose to commit crime, and it chose to surrender in shame, leaving the people of Asia with eternal debts.

After the end of World War II, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union unfolded around the world, and where China went was related to the balance of forces between the two sides, and international relations profoundly affected the national process in modern times. After eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the CCP opened up a vast base area behind enemy lines and became a major national party, and the situation changed for the first time. After the outbreak of the civil war, the CCP relied on the masses to gradually turn the tide of the war. The victory in the Liaoshen Campaign enabled the Platsu to gain a consolidated strategic rear, and the 800,000 Northeast Field Army became a powerful strategic mobile force, covering Northern China. "Soldiers and civilians are the foundation of victory", the land reform movement has greatly stimulated the war potential of the vast number of peasants, and the Liberated Area of North China has expanded rapidly, and only 1.54 million former migrant workers have been supported in the battle. The Nationalist army could only rely on the communication line to trap the few data points, and the 600,000 troops were compressed in the Pingjin Zhangtang line. In the face of the unfavorable situation of the countryside encircling the city, the Nationalist army took the protection of Tianjin Haikou as the focus, and Tianjin became a fierce battlefield. The fall of Tianjin brought Beiping under siege, laying the foundation for a peaceful settlement, and the three major battles came to an end. After a hundred years of devastation, the gate to the republic was opened in Tianjin.

Now bathing in the warm winter sun, wandering on the banks of the Haihe River, seeing the lingling river, flowing with peace and tranquility. The high-rise buildings towering into the sky on the shore and the European-style villas of the old concession render sparkling microwaves, making the river also become amorous. Ten thousand years have passed, and several degrees of sunset have dispersed the clouds of history and settled in the depths of the earth, allowing a great city to grow in the new century.
