Visit jiaodong's "夼": There is a stone city in Zhaoyuan, and someone wrote poetry for it in ancient times

There are many villages with the character kuǎng on the Jiaodong Peninsula, some of which have been introduced before, and the topic of this article is also related to it. The place to be introduced is called "Shicheng Gang", which is located under the jurisdiction of Mengzhi Street in Zhaoyuan City, Yantai.

Shichengkuan is very easy to find, along the 206 National Highway from east to west, after passing the Dragon King Lake on the western outskirts of Zhaoyuan City, on the north side of the road, you can see the "Shichengkuan" place name stone stele. And from the place name stone monument further north, the village surrounded by mountains in the distance is Shicheng.

Regarding the origin of the name "ShichengJiao", the village chronicle behind the place-name monument records: "The village is surrounded by mountains, because the two peaks in the southeast of the village are like stone castles, so it is named Shichengkuan. ”

Due to the proximity to the avenue and the moderate distance to Zhaoyuan City, Shicheng Village also set up a courier shop in ancient times, and the Qing Dynasty "Zhaoyuan County Chronicle" recorded that there was a "Shicheng" shop on the official road from Zhaoyuan to Ye County at that time.

Convenient transportation places usually come and go, probably because of this, the surname structure of Shicheng Village is also more diverse. According to the village chronicle: during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were people surnamed Jin who came to live here; during the Ming Dynasty, the surname of Sun (Xiyazhi) moved in from Vari Village; in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the surname of Sun (Xiya Tiezhi and Dongyazhi) moved in from Chejia and Panjiaji; at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the surname of Jiang moved from Haiyang Xia Village (at that time, there was no Haiyang, Xia Village also did not know why, and now Haiyang City has Xiahetou, Xiashi and other villages with Xia characters, Rushan Xia Village, which belonged to Ninghai Prefecture before haiyang was established); after that, Fan, Guo, Yang and other surnames were changed from FanJiawu, Xilujia, and Other Surnames in Zhaoyuan County, respectively. Zengjiagou and other places moved in.

And also because of the relationship between the nearby avenue, many literati and inkers in ancient times have passed through this place, and some of them have written poems specifically for this place, the title is called "Stone City".

This poem is included in the "Chronicle of Zhaoyuan County", which was continued during the Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, and its text reads:

"Along the creek oblique entrance, between the twisting and chaotic peaks. The water is flowing, and the white clouds are long and self-smelling. The wind blows away the birds, and the rain comes to the mountains. Zhanzhan smoke lan color, cang dots guest face. ”

A few strokes depict a beautiful landscape painting with a leisurely mood.

According to Shicheng Kuncunzhi, the author of the poem was Zhang Yingrui, the prefect of Laizhou in the Qing Dynasty, and wrote it for thirty years in Daoguang. However, compared with the records of the "Chronicle of Zhaoyuan County" and the "Chronicle of Laizhou Prefecture", most of the above statements are false.

First of all, according to the records of the "Laizhou FuZhi", Zhang Yingrui was born as a jinshi, subordinate to the Zhengbai Banner, and Kangxi served as the prefect of Laizhou Prefecture for three years. The difference between the three years of Kangxi and the thirty years of Daoguang is nearly two hundred years, which obviously cannot be corresponded.

Secondly, in the Qing Dynasty's "Chronicle of Zhaoyuan County", there is indeed a poem by Zhang Yingrui, but the title of that poem is "Gengshu Zhongchun Stops the Hot Spring with Official Affairs, and Leads the Pen To Write a Comic Book". The poem "Stone City" is above the former and is not signed. Murashi probably mistakenly believed that Zhang Yingrui had done it.

According to the ancient practice of revision, if the poem is not signed separately, it is usually the same author as the previous one. In the county chronicle, the first article in the "Shicheng Gang" is "The Second Song of Persuading Farmers in Early Summer", written by Li Zhi (a native of Sichuan, Jinshi) of Zhaoyuanzhi County during the Qianlong period. If "Shi Chengjiao" is indeed li zhi's words, then it is inferred from the term of office that this poem should have been written during the Qianlong period.

Of course, whether it is Zhang Yingrui or Li Zhi, or others, "Shi Chengjiao" is a good poem. As a village, it is also a matter of pride to be able to record it in the history in the form of poetry.
