Dongshao, the winter tour of Ningdu, looks up at Lingyun Mountain, and the layers of fog wrap up a long history and legend
Zeng Hailiang Zeng Xiangyu
Roaming the Ningdu Dongshao in winter, friends say that Lingyun Mountain (the sea trek is as high as 1462 meters), there is a so-called "Heavenly Son's Land", and layers of fog wrap historical legends.
The "Liu Clan Genealogy" in various places, in the records of Liu Banggong's grandfather Ren Gong (also known as Rong Gong, who attacked his father Feng Gong), all said that Ren Gongtian was buried in Lingyun Mountain, Qingtai Township, Jiangxi (present-day Hankou Village, Dongshao Township, Ningdu County, Jiangxi).
According to the clear records of the Liu clan Pu, the seventy-third ancestor of the Rong Gong, the character Renhao, was born on the fifteenth day of August in the twentieth year of king Hao of Zhou (295 BC), died on october 20, the fifteenth year of Qin Shi Huang's victory (232 BC), and died at the age of sixty-four, and the Zhao and Liang clans had children: Rui, Mingang, and Xianchu. Successive generations of repairing the family, rich millions, accumulating good alms, there are kindness and people, and then the family wealth is exhausted, one day there are Fude immortals to borrow from him, the family has no silver, Rong Gong untied the jade bracelet in his hand to him, the immortals said that their family lives in The Tonggu Village of Taihua Mountain, Ningdu County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, until the Mid-Autumn Festival of August 15 next year, please drive to the grass house, return as counted, to the gong according to his words, with his grandson Liu Bang from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, to Taihua Mountain, to Tonggu Village, the fruit sees the mountains and rivers, the quiet and elegant, the immortals come to greet, set up a banquet, drink to the half-drunk, Rong Gong seems to be drunk and sleeps in the audience, His grandson Liu Bang seemed to feel that the mountain rock was about to fall, took twelve steps and fell, and then took twelve steps and fell again, looking back, there was no house, only a tomb, Rong Gong was buried in the dragon's den, a celebrity-shaped navel cave, so far his grave can be far-sighted, but can not be close to climb, the descendants of Sun Sweeping tomb can only be sacrificed at the foot of the mountain.
And even the officially sponsored local chronicles read:
(Ming) Wanli's "Ningdu County Chronicle" says: "Lingyun Mountain, the ancestral tomb of Emperor Hangao". It is revealed that liu Bangzu's ancestral tomb is in Lingyun Mountain, Ningdu.
(Qing) Qianlong's "Ningbu County Chronicle" description: Lingyun Mountain, one hundred and thirty miles north of the county. The high momentum is inserted into the sky, and the famous mountain is consecutively swept across the mountains, and its turbulence is vast. ...... According to legend, there is the ancestral tomb of Emperor Hangao on the mountain, so the temple of Emperor Hangao was built at the foot of the mountain. ...... To the front of the tomb, there are two mountains on the left and right, called left and right Kingo.
There are plutonium notes or inscriptions left in the name of the great place.
Tianzi land also has a plutonium record: there are thousands of people worshiping in the day, ten thousand bright lights at night, sweeping the ground toward the wind, the shadow of the moon at night, the road before the grave that has been going so far, the stone dog village, the cauliflower village, the Jinji village, the terrain is humanoid, the knot is the mountain, the descendant is Fertile, the blazing Chang, the humanities are too, and this ancestor is also in the spirit of heaven.
This "Heavenly Son's Land" has been passed down to this day, luring many feng shui researchers to visit, mostly because of the steep mountain road, can only look forward to sighing.
There are successful climbers, and when they reach the legendary position, there is no trace of the cemetery. Only a cold stone wall was laughing at the boredom of the good deeds, as if to ask: Don't you know that Master Guo Pu has a precept when you look for the dragon testimony cave? The place where the knot is located is at the Dragon's End, "Stone Mountain cannot be buried"!
Therefore, some people have doubts about the authenticity of the so-called "Heavenly Son's Land".
For Lingyun Mountain, there are Han Gao ancestral tombs, and since the Ming and Qing dynasties, many people have held a skeptical or negative attitude.
Dong Yue of the middle Ming Dynasty wrote in his "Twelve Realms Of Poetry Sent to JinYi Hou and Quotations": "The county is better than Lingyun Mountain, and the old name of the tooth drum is the cave. Born rich and long, Ande this first long. He once heard of the Southern Han Gong, and also posed as a god. This fear is what it follows, and it is the king who sweeps away the dirt and grime."
Dong Yue denied the possibility that Lingyun Mountain had the tomb of Liu Bangzu, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, and suspected that the Han Gaozu of Lingyun Mountain was Liu Gong, the ancestor of the Southern Han Dynasty. Kangxi Twenty-second Year (1683) ((Yang Longquan Zhicao) also holds the theory of Liu Gongzhi, the high ancestor of the Southern Han Dynasty, believing that "the name of the village in the foothills of the mountain is Nantuan, thinking that it is the falsehood of the word Southern Han, and its meaning also wants to clarify the error of the Old Sayings, and the proximity of Dong's saying is also.") ”
Yun Jing (1757-1817) of the Qianjia period comprehensively questioned the ancestral tomb of Han Gao in Ningdu:
Ningdu Minduoli Temple is dedicated to Han Gaozu. The "Chronicle of the Prefecture" says that the northern eighty miles of the prefecture are the tombs of Gao Zuzu, so they are enshrined. This statement is unfounded, and the fallacy of the geology is also like this!
The Book of Han and Gao Zu Qi praises: Gao Zu is on the throne and places the ancestral official. There are Qin, Jin, Liang, and Jing Wu Notes. The Fan clan is enshrined in the Jin, so there are Jin witches. Fan Hui zhishu left Qin as Liu Shi, so there was Qin Wu, Liu Clan followed Wei to Liang, so there were Liang Wu, Hou Migration Feng, Feng belonged to Jing, so there were Jing Wu. It is the ancestor of Han. From Jin to Qin, and Wei to Feng, it is more certain to count. Yu Ning didn't have anything to do with each other.
Zan also said: Feng Gong, the Emperor of Taishang, his migration is shallow, and the tomb is in Fengxianyan. It is Fenggong who buries Fengye. Emperor Taishang buried Oak Yang. Lady Zhaoling buried Xiao Huang, and Feng Gong used to be a burial beam. Ning Du had no ancestral tomb to be broken.
The Han dynasty counties and kingdoms all have temples, but they will be lucky enough to visit. At that time, Yuzhang Commandery ruled present-day Nanchang, and Gao Zu did not taste it.
And Ningdu did not set up a county, and it was not appropriate to have a temple in the capital of Yandu with mountains and streams. Liu Sheng of the Northern Han Dynasty and Liu Gong of the Southern Han Dynasty were both called Gaozu, but the Shatuo people of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Pengcheng people of the Southern Han Dynasty were all based on Yang Wu and Li Tang at that time, and they were enemies of the Southern and Northern Han Dynasties, and it was not appropriate to have temples. Only the "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" contains the ancestor of Liu Gong, who migrated from Shangcai to Min, or Ning Du was buried by the Dao, so the future generations of Gong Gong! Gong has been abusing the people for decades. However, if you worship the ancestors of Ningdu, your temple can be destroyed. On November 8, Ning Du remembered this.
Wu Wenzheng of the Yuan Dynasty: The Family of the Song Zhu Confucians was conceited by geography, and the "Jade Chalcedony Sutra" written by Fengcheng Confucian Liu was falsely deceived and deceived, and the whole world was confused! And Mo Zhicha. Judging from WenZheng's words, it can be known but the sayings are common, but they are not enough to believe. The apocryphal books are confused, and they can be directly explored.
This reveals that the ancient feng shui book has a long history of counterfeiting.
Look at the many ancient feng shui books sold on the market at present, all published in the name of Yang Gong, it is not surprising.
From this point of view, the "Heavenly Son's Land" is only a myth made up!
From this point of view, the "Heavenly Son's Land" is just a fabricated mythological story.
The reason why the fallacy of "Heavenly Son' Land" has survived in the folk is that I think the common people only believe in books. However, the ancient Chinese classics are vast, and there is a distinction between truth and falsehood.
Therefore, the local history is also good, the genealogy is also good, and even the so-called ancient feng shui secret books are not true.
We must question the authenticity of legends such as the "Heavenly Son's Land.".
Liang Qichao once made a brief comment on the importance of the number of forged books in ancient China to academic research work: Nine times out of ten, China's old learning is book learning, and there are many Chinese pseudo-books, so identifying forgeries is a very important thing in sorting out old studies. No matter what kind of knowledge you do, you must always take the basic work of not seeking the truth from falsehood. Because if the information on the basis is false, the results of the research will of course also be hypocritical, and the research work will be in vain.
I think that to do research, we must have a rigorous academic attitude.
In the same way, we emphasize that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", and it is better to believe in books than to have no books".
I agree with Hu Shi's skepticism that in doing research, we must "boldly assume and carefully seek verification" and "words must be proved." In other words, "not only books, not only the top, only the truth."
