Walking east from the Tailiu Pond, we can see the "Banana Garden". The pines in the banana garden are emerald green and the air is very fresh. There is a large hall in the banana garden, and behind the hall there is a small garden with peonies of different colors. To the left of the main hall is the Yingxiang Hall and to the right is the Jirui Hall.
Every Dragon Boat Festival or Zhongyuan Festival, the banana garden will become very lively, such as dragon boat racing, doing things, putting on river lights and so on.
In 1521, the Jiajing Emperor ascended the throne, and after he had been emperor for decades, he did a "strange" thing, and even took a large number of people and horses to the banana garden.
As we all know, the Jiajing Emperor was addicted to cultivation and spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to find the art of immortality. In ancient China, the emperor was also known as the "True Dragon Heavenly Son", who was chosen by the heavens, so when they encountered problems, they would worship heaven and earth and pray for a way to solve it.
Jiajing deliberately took the minister to the banana garden, mainly to do a ritual, one is to worship heaven and earth, and the other is to pray for eternal life. So is the banana garden just a place to do things? In fact, this answer is not accurate.
According to the "Hezhou Lu Clan Ancestral Shinto Inscription", we know: "The treasure of the banana garden, the book of bamboo Jane, the sub-residence of the prefecture, and the end of the end." In this sentence, we can learn the specific function of the banana garden.
In modern times, some units will issue secret documents, but when these secret documents are reviewed and completed and lose their value, the relevant personnel will not discard them at will, but will collect them centrally and handle them in a unified manner.
During the Ming Dynasty, after the death of the emperor, the historians would rewrite the life of the former emperor, at this time, they would refer to and record the emperor's daily life materials, and select the main deeds from them and record them according to the facts. When the life and deeds of the former emperor are sorted out, the manuscript must be destroyed.
At this time, there will be special eunuchs, these manuscripts, transported to the banana garden, unified burning, in the process of destruction, there will be special people to deal with it meticulously, from ignition to fire extinguishing, there will be people watching, after burning the ashes will be disposed of clean, so as not to leak the deeds of the former emperor.
After the change of dynasties, the successive dynasties will revise the history of the previous dynasty, and the materials used are taken from the secret archives and documents of the previous dynasty. After the completion of the current dynasty history, these original historical materials will also be transported to the banana garden and destroyed.
In ancient China, the emperor did not have "WeChat" and other related communication tools, officials are through the way of handing over the fold, the latest news is transmitted, the emperor after the approval of the fold, involving confidential folds, will be sent to the banana garden secretly disposed of.
In the early Qing Dynasty, the function of the "banana garden" was preserved, but the incineration procedure was not as strict as that of the Ming Dynasty, so some manuscripts were not burned and preserved.
With the development of the times, the function of the banana garden has gradually been forgotten by the world, so that when it comes to the banana garden, people think that it is a place to watch the banana, through the above introduction, do you readers understand the "magical" function of the "banana garden"?
