The previous part said "five yuan", this time talk about the "six yao" in Xi'an
The ancients found that there were six earthen mounds running east-west on the terrain of Tang Chang'an City, and from the height of the six slopes, the terrain gradually decreased from south to north, and the shape of the ground was very similar to the Qiangua Liuyao in the "I Ching".
The first to discover this secret was the Sui Dynasty. When building Daxing City, the chief designer Yuwen Kai regarded the six high slopes south of Longshouyuan as the "Six Yaos" of Qiangua, as the skeleton of Chang'an City, thus forming the basis of the overall planning. The royal palace, government offices, and temples were built on high slopes, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power, power, and divine power, while the low depressions were either residential areas or lakes and ditches were dug.
It took only 10 months for the Construction Of Daxing City to end and it began to relocate. In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, except for the newly built Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace, basically followed the pattern of Daxing City.
(Some experts have different understandings of the location of the six earthen mounds, but all have contradictions, and the following is my own synthesis of personal opinions and my own understanding.) ）
"Jiuyi" "Hidden Dragon Tengyuan"
From north to south, the six earthen hills are called the Ninth Land Dragon Shouyuan in turn. The Dragon Head originally included the ruins of Weiyang Palace in Han Chang'an City and the area around the Great Wind Pavilion of Hancheng Lake in the west, that is, in the northern part of the ruins of Han Chang'an City, which was formerly the site of Han Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, which were outside Tang Chang'an City and belonged to the land of "Jiuyi" and "Hidden Dragon Tengyuan".
The Yang family has won the world, can other people live here? Therefore, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, this place was set aside by the royal family as a "forbidden area" and was only used for the royal family to play, such as Tang Xuanzong opened the famous "pear garden" here.
"Ninety-two" "See the dragon in the field"
The land of Ninety-Two is the area from the current Longshou Village to the ruins of the front hall of Daming Palace, which is the place of "seeing the dragon in the field". The dragon is the heavenly son of the heavens, the land of the dragon, and the "see" is the "present", then it is the place where the emperor lives. Therefore, it is only possible to "set up a palace room to be the residence of the emperor"
The problem is that when Daxing City was built, daming palace had not yet been built, so there is also a view that 92 is located in the south of the current Lianhu Park, that is, in the area of Wutai (Yunji Temple) west of Lianhu Road, which is where the Taiji Palace is located. The history books say that because the Taiji Palace was extremely hot, it was said that Tang Gaozong camped to repair the Daming Palace.
"Ninety-three" "Gentleman's Dry"
The land of Jiusan is the area from the southern city wall of Xi'an to the Nangang area of Xingqing Palace. The slope of the Ninety-Three, "A gentleman is dry all day long, and if he is in the evening, he is not guilty." "This means that let the big guys work well, don't go to work and think about touching the fish, everyone from the current excavation of the official office, there are still more."
This is the land of "gentlemen and gentlemen", and whoever a gentleman is, that is, the people set an example and becomes an official minister. Therefore, it can only be placed here, which can just reflect the concept of culture and martial arts. If the Hundred Officials' Office is placed here, it can reflect the concept of self-improvement and loyalty to the monarch and diligent administration of the civil and military officials. As a result, Miyagi Andi Castle were arranged on the slopes of 92 and 93, respectively.
"94" "Or Jump in the Abyss"
The land of September Fourth is now the area from the provincial library to the grassland slope, and friends who go to the provincial library know that it is necessary to go up a high step, which is one of the few six high slopes that exist. This place is a place of "or leaping in the abyss", which is particularly promising for the residence of high-ranking officials and nobles and ordinary people. Now there is a provincial library and a provincial stadium here, but it reminds everyone that "double cultivation of culture and martial arts" is bound to have a great future.
"Ninth Five-Year Plan" "Flying Dragon in the Sky"
The land of the Ninth Five is now the area around Leyouyuan, which is not controversial. Here belongs to the "flying dragon in the sky" of the excellent place, the so-called "Nine Five-Year Dignity", ordinary people certainly can not live, the emperor does not live here, can only let the gods and immortals live, the east will build the Buddhist Qinglong Temple, the western section built the Taoist Xuandu Temple and the Buddhist Xingshan Temple. These temples are very famous, but the Xuandu Temple is no longer there, but its location has been changed to the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, which is also very interesting.
Pei Du, the prime minister of the Middle Tang Dynasty, lived in the land of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" and was framed by people as "staying in Okara, not summoning himself, and his heart is visible." Frightened Pei Du hurried to move, but some people did not care about this, Zhang said, Liu Gongquan 'Han Yu took care of it.
"Ninety-six" "The dragon has regrets"
The land of Jiuliu is now the area around Shaolingyuan in the south of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which is "the dragon has regrets", and it is the end of the Liuyao High Gang that "things will be reversed, and prosperity will decline", so the tombs of the officials and nobles have chosen this place. Here is also called Fengqiyuan or Hongguyuan, Baidu Encyclopedia has a special word: "Fengqiyuan Shaolingyuan Tomb Group". Even now, the construction of the project there is not dare to start.
Bai Juyi has a poem: "The Twelfth Street is like planting vegetables, and a thousand homes are like a Go book." The Twelfth Street is the "Twelve Months", and the 108 Square corresponds to the 108 stars in the heavens (36 days and 72 earth). The gate on the south side of Miyagi Castle is named "Suzaku Gate", and the north gate of Taiji Palace in Miyagi Castle is named Xuanwu Gate, which is the "four elephants" in traditional feng shui: "left green dragon, right white tiger, former suzaku, post Xuanwu".
The construction of capital cities in ancient times had its own set of theories, but isn't the same for urban construction now? However, "Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place." For ordinary people, it is good to have a comfortable house to live in, but if you happen to live in a good place, you can steal the fun.
