Originally thought that "rolling Water in the East of the Yangtze River" is an eternal natural landscape, I did not want to be in the goose-nosed mouth of Jiangyin, but there is a magical scene of "a river of spring water flowing west".
With its cliffs towering and the waves crashing on the shore, this is the "riverside fortress" for thousands of years. Chongyong Hundred Pheasants, Chu Feng Wu Yu, here is the "loyal state" that has been praised to this day.
He was a "travel blogger" more than 400 years ago, not only "traveling all over Jiangsu" but also crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, recording the great rivers and mountains of the motherland with words.
This issue of "Traveling All Over Jiangsu" follows the poet Pompey into his hometown of Jiangyin, visits the hometown of Xiake, sees the magnificent Yangtze River, and tastes this heroic poetic city.
【Goubizui Park】
"A sparkling city" is Pompey's impression of his hometown for many years. Geographically, Jiangyin was an ancient estuary more than 2,000 years ago, and the terrain below it also shows the structure of the ancient estuary.
The Goubizui Park by the river, the name is related to the shape. I don't know the true face of the "goose" mountain, only because I am in this mountain. With the help of drones from the air, you can see this "goose" on the banks of the Yangtze River.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Tang and Song Dynasties, Jiangyin has always been the mouth of the Yangtze River. And the goose-nosed mouth is also a place where literati and inkers will come to punch the clock after they arrive in Jiangyin for thousands of years. The currents on the north and south banks form a very wonderful Taiji pattern, and after the water reaches the south bank, it flows back to the west, flows to Zhenjiang and then turns around. How to explain this phenomenon?
【GooseBigh Hole】
Follow the eas-nosed mouth all the way east, through a winding path, to a mysterious cave.
It is a cave for tibetan soldiers, a military stronghold, and it is said that in the past it was possible to hide the strength of a division, but now it has become a place open to the public. Jiangyin's little friend, did you come to the cave to explore when you were a child?
Jiangyin is a three-dimensional military stronghold, known as the key, that is, the throat of the Yangtze River. The so-called Jiangyin Fortress is to lock the channel of Jiangyin, which requires a lot of defenders, and this hole is related to the fortress.
【Huangshan】
This Huangshan mountain is not in Anhui, it is located in the northeast of Jiangyin City, named after the fiefdom of the Chu state Chun Shenjun Huang Xie during the Warring States period.
Walking into huangshan, the lush forest makes people feel relaxed, and the ancient forts, command posts, ammunition depots and other war relics also tell the magnificent history here.
Climbing the Wangjiang Tower on the main peak of Huangshan Mountain, the view is suddenly open - the Jiangyin Bridge in the north and south of the flying frame, the large and small ships that flow endlessly, and the magnificent and beautiful river and sky are all presented in front of you.
The river at the foot of Huangshan Mountain is one of the narrowest places in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, only 1500 meters, so it has been known as the "gateway to the river and the sea" and "locked fortress" since ancient times. Nowadays, the smoke of war has long gone, and people have climbed huangshan mountain, in addition to overlooking the Yangtze River, they can also overlook the entire Jiangyin City.
【Chaozongmen】
Descending from Huangshan Mountain, all the way south, we came to Chaozongmen, which is the reconstructed South Gate Tower of Jiangyin City.
Chaozongmen, which means that the sun rises from this direction every day, the civil officials and military attaches of all dynasties, when changing the term, have to go to the Pingguan Bridge, get off their horses, take off their hats, and do some etiquette before they can enter Jiangyin City.
The Chaozong Gate reads "The State of Loyalty and Righteousness", and the spirit of the State of Loyalty and Righteousness has also inspired generations of Jiangyin people. What kind of history does it have?
The handwriting originally carved on the city wall is now preserved in a hexagonal pavilion, leaving only the word Zhongbang, and behind it, there is a story that can be sung and wept.
The place where Chungbang Pavilion is located is Zhongshan Park. This is the center of Jiangyin City, and it is also the most popular leisure place for Jiangyin people.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen became China's railway minister, in charge of China's railway transportation, and he went to Jiangyin and said a word: let the civilization of the whole country start from Jiangyin. It is also because of this sentence that this former school administration office has become the current Zhongshan Park.
The Jiangsu Xuezheng Office was the place where students from the eight provinces and three prefectures of Jiangsu Province took the xiucai examination during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of the xuezheng yamen are located in the provincial capital, but Jiangsu has put xuezheng in Jiangyin, mainly considering that Jiangyin is located in the center of Jiangsu, with convenient transportation in the south and north.
Every year during the scientific expedition season, students from the north and south of the great river gather in Jiangyin. More than 400 years ago, a local candidate in Jiangyin also studied here, and after falling off the list, he gave up the road of his career in discouragement, and instead packed his bags and traveled through the mountains and rivers of the motherland. He is the famous traveler Xu Xiake.
【Former Residence of Xu Xiake】
Xu Xiake is known as a strange person in the ancient world, and he walks the eight words of "walking thousands of miles and reading thousands of books". There is a passage in "Xu Xia's Travels" that expounds his ambition to travel the world in his youth.
For the sake of ideals, Xu Xia traveled the world with a bamboo stick and traveled all over the world, and her footprints covered the nineteen provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions of China today. Most of his life was spent on travel and investigation, the study of geological landforms such as mountains and rivers, and achieved achievements beyond his predecessors, becoming a famous geographer and writer in the Ming Dynasty. And all this is inseparable from the support of the mother.
No matter where she went, Xu Xiake would write a letter in advance to inform her mother when she would return home, and live for a while after returning home before going out.
Xu Xiake's mother inspired him to plant the Luo Han Pine by hand, which has a history of 450 years, and the descendants restored Xu Xiake's former residence according to the location of the tree.
In Xu Xiake's hometown, in addition to visiting the former imprints of a generation of tourist saints, there is also a national treasure that must be punched, which is the stone carvings of Qingshan Hall.
In the Qingshan Hall, the Xu family collected many Famous Scholars from Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, including several generations of Emperors at that time, wrote texts and poems for the Xu Family, and then asked the famous artists to carve them into stone tablets. Yang Weizhen, Qian Qianyi, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Zhishan, Dong Qichang... The works of these famous men are displayed in the stone carvings of Qingshan Hall.
The room is not large, but it brings together the poetry and ink handwriting of many celebrities in the Ming Dynasty, which has high artistic value.
On the banks of the Yangtze River, once a wharf lined with merchants and merchants, it was also a hot shipyard, and the urban transformation has made it a new place, becoming a riverside park for citizens and tourists to overlook the Yangtze River and watch the fishing fire up close.
No matter how the city changes, the sound of Jiang Tao lapping on the shore has always been there, and such a voice accompanies the poet Pompey from childhood to middle age, which is the most frequent image of his poetry and the most poetic background of the city of Jiangyin.
"Here, a drop of water is my birthplace. The water here spreads throughout my body, and countless harbors, shipwrecks, and anchor chains rise from my veins in every inch of my skin. Carry the mud at the bottom of the river, the rocks become whirlpools, the waves go deep into the dreamland, the boom on the shore stores the cries of my ancient times, the frost on the shore of the ferry whites the windows, and the sunset is like an eyeball staring at my birthplace, slowly cutting the umbilical cord under it in the hazy, watery distance. ”
From Pompey's poems, you can feel his deep love for the city of Jiangyin, and this time visiting Jiangyin also made people discover the cultural heritage of Jiangyin, gentle and generous, and heroic.
Understand Jiangyin, come to Jiangyin, and fall in love with Jiangyin.
