Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you a strange book of the Ming Dynasty, "Gu Yu Yan"

The first time: In order to vent the king's qi, the QinHuai broke the feng shui

To hide the ugliness, flatter the prostitute and show off

Poetry: Called Jiali in the Afang Palace, who knows the Six Dynasties of Qin Huaiyan?

The wind is green and poplar wears a painting magpie, and the moon is bright red and pink step hongqiao.

The waves smell the jade drum at night, and the Tai Xie blows the hole every year.

The most eight lines of the book are not exhausted, and the ferry head sees the wine flag move.

This poem was written by the ancients in praise of the Qinhuai River. As we all know, this Qinhuai River is an artificially excavated inland river in Jinling City. Jinling is now Nanjing, on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the central part of Jiangsu Province. Here the Spring and Autumn period belongs to Wu, and the Warring States belong to Yue. In the seventh year of the Chu Wei King (333 BC), the Chu State destroyed Yue, and the Chu Wei King once buried gold here, so it was called "Jinling". After that, the Western Jin Dynasty was called Jiankang, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was called Danyang, the Sui dynasty was called Jiangzhou, the Tang was called Shengzhou, the Song Dynasty restored the name of The Western Jin Dynasty, still called Jiankang Province, the Yuan Dynasty called Jiqing Road, and when the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang built the capital here, it was renamed Ying Tianfu; after the Yan King ascended the throne, the Ming Capital moved to Beijing, which was called Nanjing, and retained the establishment of the imperial court, and the Qing Dynasty was called Jiangning Province. However, the ancient name of "Jinling" was common to all dynasties.

So, when was this river excavated, and why is it called "Qinhuai River"? It turned out that when Qin Shi Huang was in the time, there was a Taishi official who was "good at observing the heavens" and said that there was a "Tianzi Qi" in Jinling City. At that time, Yingzheng called himself the First Emperor, and he thought that the world was the world of his family name and would be passed on to his descendants. When he heard this, he was afraid that a saint would be born in a few years, and he would rob him of the world, so he hurriedly sent a tour of the south and ordered the dragon vein to be dug up to vent the "king's qi" by taking off the "king's spirit." Therefore, Jinling City dug an inland river from east to west, divided Jinling City into two halves, and diverted the Water of the Huai River into it. Because it was opened by Qin Shi Huang and the water of the Huai River was introduced, it was called "Qinhuai River".

In Qinhuai, there are thirty-three caves on the east side of the river, but only through the water source, people can not enter and exit; there are eighteen holes in the west, set up a water pass, you can pass through the boat. So there is a local proverb that says, "Thirty-three days no one goes, eighteen hells do."

Jinling was originally just a small yi, but in the Wu, Song, Jin, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, they all built capitals here, and only then did they prosper, and later generations called the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties". By the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu still built a capital here, along the Qinhuai, the north bank of the river, the east bank of the city to rebuild the city wall, the outer city circumference of one hundred and twenty miles, there are eighteen city gates, including Yaofang, Tuqiao, Fengtai, Ande and other names; the inner city circumference of sixty miles, there are thirteen city gates, namely; JubaoMen, SanshanMen, Shicheng Gate, Dinghuai Gate, Qingliang Gate, Tongji Gate, Yifeng Gate, Xianhe Gate, Qilin Gate, Jinchuan, Taiping Gate, Victory Gate, Hongwu Gate. It's really the East Dragon Banner, the West Tiger. The imperial palace was built in the north, and the Qinhuai River was opened from south to north to the bottom of Jiming Mountain. To the left of Jiming Mountain is Zhongshan, because its shape resembles a boat that buckles over, so it is also known as "Covering Zhou Mountain". In the Three Kingdoms period, sun quan, in order to avoid his grandfather's name, was killed because Jiang Ziwen, a lieutenant of Moling in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, chased a thief to this mountain and was killed, Sun Quan built a temple for him here, so it was also known as Jiang Shan. Later, the Sui Kai Emperor set up Jiang Prefecture here in the ninth year, which is also related to the deeds of Jiang Shan and Jiang Ziwen. Near JiangShan, there are monuments such as the old foundation of Taicheng, the Jianzhang Palace, the ruins of the Hanzhang Hall, and the main humiliating well of Chen Hou. Behind the mountain is Xuanwu Lake. On the right side of the mountain is the Jiming Temple founded by Emperor Wu of Liang. This temple was built by Shi Baozhi, the legendary JiGong, and the area is only a few acres, but it is full of twists and turns, and it is as deep as a big brake. In the temple, there are statues of Zhigong (i.e., Jigong) painted in gold and made pagodas to worship. To the left of the summit is a observatory built by Ming Taizu. There are Taixue on the east side of the mountain, and ten temples in the west, including the Imperial Temple, the Meritorious Hero Temple, the Jiang Temple, the High Temple, the City God Temple, and the Guandi Temple. Resplendent. There is a pan palace on the riverbank. The word "Pangong" was written by zhu Xi, a Master of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. The temple of literature in the world, the main hall is called "Minglun Hall", the unique Confucius Temple hall here is called "Mingde Hall", the words on the plaque are written by the Song Dynasty Xiang XiangWen Tianxiang. Next to the Temple of Literature is the Gongyuan. There are also Huanggong Ancestral Hall, Peach Leaf Ferry, Invitation Flute Step, Ten Scenic Walls and other scenic spots. The bridge has the names of Qingxi, Huaiqing, Wende, Wuding, Lishi (is a wooden bridge), large and medium, floating, floating down (floating up and down are all pontoon bridges), pearls, lotuses, steep gates, four elephants, and bridges, just like a flying rainbow across the river, decorating a Qinhuai River very richly. It really is; more than ten miles of buildings and platforms are sandwiched on the shore, and thousands of trees are jagged. The painting boat floats from morning to dusk; the song is swirling, day and night. People all over the world say that this is a scenic spot and a bustling place. All the gentlemen and merchants who passed by took a boat tour. Needless to say, even poor butchers and peddlers pawned clothes and traveled often. Therefore, the tourists here are like ants for many years, and the flow is endless.

In the river houses on both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are many beautiful singers and prostitutes. Or looming within the beaded curtain, or hovering between the flowers and willows; or tasting the hole, or singing new words; or leaning on the carved railing and offering flattery, or tricking the soul; or slipping in the autumn waves, or smiling alone. Attracting these tourists and prodigal sons, they are all fascinated by the color array, the bones are crisp, day and night are crazy, and the four hours are endless. Later, Ming Taizu ascended to heaven, His grandson Jili, and Zhu Di, the King of Yan, was seduced by Yao Guangxiao, and from Beiping, he usurped Jianwen's world and changed his name to Yuan Yongle. He deeply hated the princes of Jingnan and refused to submit, so he slaughtered Zhongliang, and the men, young and old, were beheaded and killed in several places, and wives and daughters, large and small, were not prostitutes. He aimed to build a total of sixteen floors outside Jinling City, including Retranslation, Shicheng, Heming, Drunken Immortal, Lemin, Jixian, Light Smoke, Pale Pink Meiyan, Liu Cui, Drum Belly, Acura, Nanshi, Beishi, Qingliang, and Laibin, which were specially used for these "official prostitutes" who had never come, and set up a teaching workshop to be in charge, which belonged to the Taichang Le book. The head of the Department of Education is also a yarn hat horn belt, round neck supplement, but the complement is not a bird or a beast, but a cabbage; there are also yamen, there are also public cases, there are also Zhu pens, signatures, and there are also officials and criminals in the public court, just like an official, just seeing a prostitute, he thinks that he is inferior, and he does not even dare to make a hand, he can only bend down and arch his back, only promises. At the end of the year, the Priest of the Church handed over the silver two collected in the year to the palace gold flower storehouse, as the fat powder money of the concubines, and called it "gold flower and silver two". This sixteenth floor, which was specially built by the Yongle Emperor for the concubines to make profits, is naturally different from the prostitute brothels elsewhere, it is really a carved beam painting building, Yuyu Qiong Lou, the eaves flying beasts, the window is now diamond flowers, at night, the yarn lamp shines, the jade candle is brilliant, the fire is glowing, like day. Shallow low singing, wonderful dancing and singing, staggered chips, silk and bamboo overlapping, refreshing day and night, day and night deafening. Among them, there are countless beautiful prostitutes. It is really the first victory in ancient and modern times, and it can also be said that it is the first miracle government newly created since ancient times.

The ancients once had a poem lamenting the establishment of the sixteenth floor of Qinhuai; the bustling sixteenth floor of the north and south, the orchestra blew a river of sorrow.

To persuade and punish the law of the first king, the sin and humiliation need to be with the female stream.

Moyuan flowers even Qin YuanXiao, Getai warblers Han Palace autumn. At that time, it was only for trade, but now there are prostitutes.

During the Jiajing period, it was really ridiculous to say; on the banks of the Qinhuai River, a kind of blind prostitute actually emerged. A woman, with all her facial features, is still ugly, let alone missing a pair of eyes? As for those who are prostitutes, they all rely on Qiu Boda's intentions and eyebrows. What's so fun about closing your eyes?

Legend has it that once upon a time there was a lover who was so fond of a blind prostitute that he married him back.
