The ancient city of Linyi, with developed transportation and merchants, is the logistics capital of the whole country and the wholesale base of small commodities, which is famous at home and abroad, and has the reputation of "North Linyi, South Yiwu".

All this is due to Linyi's developed land transportation and abundant water resources.

Originating in the northern foothills of Mengshan Mountain, the Yi River is the mother river of Linyi, which runs all the way south, crosses the lofty mountains and mountains, and flows through the east bank of Linyi Ancient City, forming a gentle lake of thousands of acres. The east bank of the Yi River is hedong district; the west bank is Lanshan District; located in the south of Linyi City, as the branch of the Yi River - south of the Sinking River is Luozhuang District.

In the north of Linyi City, the Qi River, as the largest tributary of the Yi River, flows into the Yi River from southwest to northeast in the northeast corner of Linyi City. The Qihe and Yihe rivers form a capital "Y" shape in Linyi. Looking down in space, the Yihe and Yihe rivers are like a goose with its wings stretched out, soaring freely in the blue sea and blue sky.

The sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is long and colorful.

A small river that runs through the east-west direction of Linyi Ancient City, the Shu River, meanders to form an "S" shape, and joins the Yi River at the mouth of the Three Rivers.

From the map, the River is like a crystal clear emerald, embedded in Linyi City, nourishing the people on both sides of the strait.

The Zhuohe River, which has a little-known history, was built thanks to a prince who was enfeoffed in Linyi during the Ming Dynasty. He was Zhu Youqiao, the King of Jing.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lessons of the fall of the Yuan Dynasty and implemented a system of off-site kingship for the emperor's direct descendants, which lasted until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

There are eight ranks, including prince, county king, zhenguo general, auxiliary general, fengguo general, zhenguo lieutenant, auxiliary lieutenant, and fengguo lieutenant, and prince is the title of all princes except prince.

The princes of the Ming Dynasty were enfeoffed as kings in various places, and only belonged to the administration of the ZongrenFu and enjoyed supreme privileges.

They enjoyed superior material treatment in life, and they were clothed and fed, from birth, marrying wives and children, all the way to death, all expenses were borne by the imperial court.

Politically, it was not bound by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, was not under the management of local officials, did not pay taxes, did not participate in politics, and did not exercise examinations, and the ministers of the gonghou had to kneel when they saw it.

Their task was to have children without restriction and to reproduce more descendants for the Zhu Ming Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the zhu surnamed royal family had reached millions!

Most of these royal relatives are addicted to sound and color dogs and horses, and have nothing to do all day long, and even more rely on privileged fish and meat people, collect taxes and fees, and bully officials.

Like Zhu Tan, the tenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, zhu Tan, was born when Zhu Yuanzhang was 43 years old, the Ming Dynasty was just three years old, Zhu Yuanzhang was old and had a son, and loved him very much, Zhu Tan was named king of Lu just after the full moon, married the eldest daughter of Tang He at the age of 15, and went to the fiefdom of Yanzhou at the age of 16. However, King Lu and his wife had long been addicted to eternal life and liked to practice Dan medicine, and they actually tied up a large number of folk children to be castrated in the palace, using castrated things as medicine, causing the death of dozens of children, causing great public anger. Later, King Lu was sent back to the Yanzhou fiefdom to continue to be the prince, but he was obsessed with Dan Yao so much that he became blind in both eyes and died of poison at the age of 20. After death, he was killed by the King of the Lu Desert, which is really absurd!

For example, the kings of the losers are as many as cattle feathers, and there are few and ones who have achieved achievements.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son, Zhu Xu, who was named the King of Zhou, studied good literature diligently, liked poetry, wrote a hundred chapters of "Yuangong Ci", was good at learning medicine, and organized medical experts to compile medical works such as "Saving The Wilderness Materia Medica", "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Fang" and "Pu Ji Fang", which flowed for hundreds of years. In particular, the book "Saving the Wilderness Materia Medica" was circulated to Japan and is known as the founding book of botany.

For example, Zhu Zaiyu, who was the son of King Zheng, could have been like other princes, but he was thrifty, frugal, and studious, in his early years, he learned astronomy, arithmetic and other knowledge from his maternal uncle He Yao, because his father was convicted of the crime, he was alone for nineteen years, until 1567, when his father was pardoned, he was willing to enter the palace, after King Zheng died, as the eldest son, he was supposed to inherit the throne, but he gave up the country seven times, resigned his knighthood, immersed himself in writing books, specializing in music rhythms, calendars for up to nineteen years, and completed the "Complete Book of Music". Works such as the Treatise on the Law of Law, the Questioning and Discernment of laws and regulations, the Sutra of Jialiang Arithmetic, the Jingyi of Laws, the Integration of laws and calendars, the new theories of arithmetic, and the spectrum of Serputra have been praised by Chinese and foreign scholars as "laws and saints".

King Zhu Youqiu (1485-1537), the twelfth son of Emperor Chenghua of Mingxianzong, mother Concubine Yang, although Princess Yang was an ordinary concubine of Emperor Chenghua, in the last three years of Chenghua, only she gave birth to two sons in succession to the emperor, and it seems that Princess Yang was more favored.

The History of Ming records: "King Youyu of Jingjian was the twelfth son of Emperor Xianzong. Fifteen years of Hongzhi's state of Yizhou. Jiajing sixteen years. Zi Houyi was unsealed and died. Childless, sealed. ”

In less than forty words, it is not obvious that king Jing has any great achievements, but he is very famous in our Linyi local history books.

The era of King Jing's birth coincided with the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and since the "change of Tumu Fort", the country has gradually become self-protective from the early period of opening up territory and expanding the territory, and paying more attention to internal affairs from top to bottom.

As the twelfth son of the Chenghua Emperor, Wang Youqiao was born less than three years old when his father, Emperor Chenghua, died, and his half-brother Zhu Youkai did not celebrate the anniversary. His eldest brother Zhu Youfan succeeded to the throne as Emperor Hongzhi. The Hongzhi Emperor was the most highly regarded emperor in history after Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

In the second year of Hongzhi (1489), he was only five years old and was crowned king of Jing. The mansion is in Yizhou. Because he was too young to take the domain, he could only live in the capital. He grew up happily with his brothers and sisters, especially his two-year-old half-brother Zhu Youkai, the King of Shenyi, who had a very good relationship.

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi (1500), Zhu Youqiao married the daughter of Cao Xuan, the commander of the Dongcheng Terracotta Army, and the Hongzhi Emperor personally presided over the wedding, and the Jing wang and his wife accepted the courtiers' congratulations, and the wedding was held according to the specifications of the crown prince.

In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502), when he was only 17 years old, king Jing took Princess Cao and her people to bid farewell to her mother and brother in tears, and left the capital for Yizhou, a fief thousands of miles away.

Only a year later, King Jing's younger brother Zhu Youkai, the Prince of Shen, died prematurely in the palace, at the age of 16, and was crowned King Shen Yi and was childless. Growing up together, the brothers who were brothers and sisters were the only one left. Faced with the death of his relatives, the yin and yang were separated, he was devastated, but he could not go to the funeral, because of the Ming Dynasty prince system, the prince was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without the emperor's permission, even if his parents and siblings died.

King Jing could only sacrifice his own brother in the fiefdom of Yizhou, which traveled thousands of miles.

Yizhou is today's Linyi. Linyi was called Langya in ancient times, and during the Ming Dynasty, Yizhou was under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, and its seat of governance was in Linyi County, which was equivalent to a local institution between the prefecture and the county. It was not until the twelfth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1734) that it was promoted to the capital of Yizhou and was directly subordinate to Shandong Province.

The jing mansion was built in Yizhou City as early as the second year of Hongzhi (1488) when he was crowned king.

The palatial palace towered into the sky and was the tallest and most magnificent building in Yizhou City at that time.

The dangerous building is thousands of feet high, and the hand can pick the stars.

Today on the west side of the Lanshan District Government, near the Linyi Film Theater. The film theater was formerly known as Linyi No. 5 Middle School, and during the Qing Dynasty, it was a place to obtain talents, called "Examination Courtyard", commonly known as "Examination Shed". The current Kao Shed Street is named after it.

The north-south alley west of Kao Tang Street is called Kao Shen West Lane. In the past, there was a Lingyunge bath pond, but now it no longer exists. From then on, to the west, it was a big mess, and there was no one there. In order to prevent pedestrians from falling into the water at night. Wang Dongya has a section of wall. There is a three-hole small bridge within one step of the lower part of the wall base, known as the "one-step three-hole bridge", which is one of the "Eight Small Scenes of Linyi".

Jing Mansion is nearby.

Yizhou Ancient City

King Jing is smart and studious, diligent and thrifty. The imperial court stipulated that the prince had 10,000 acres of fief land, and he voluntarily resigned half of the land to return to the local government.

He often went deep and simple, did not decorate too many gorgeous cars, was charitable, received the people, built water conservancy, believed in Buddhism, donated funds to Buddhist temples, and won a good reputation in the local area.

In the first year of Jiajing (1522), he saw that the people in the western part of Yizhou were suffering, although the fertile fields were fertile, but because of successive years of drought, agricultural production was not abundant, and farmland irrigation became a thorny problem, he was very sorry, if the east of the Yingshui River was connected with the moat of Yizhou City, not only solved the problem of irrigation of good fields, but also solved the problem of cheap water for the people in the city to use water, benefiting the people, so that killing two birds with one stone, why not enjoy it.

So he went to the imperial court and built water conservancy.

Receiving the emperor's concern for the people's strength, the Jiajing Emperor was pleased, and Fu Xifa, a servant of the Ministry of Works, came to supervise and, together with Fan Shuming, the prefect of Yizhou, and Shi Lihan, the commander of Yizhou Wei, recruited thousands of local people and dug the Shu River.

The Zhuo River is also known as "Xiao Shui River", and the speed of flowing water in ancient Chinese is called "涑", hence the name Of the River. It originates from the Lao'anZi Temple in the southwest of Qianyao Mountain, Fei County, flows through the four townships of Xinzhuang, Mazhuang and Liuzhuang, and flows into lanshan district through the village of Xicheng (shan sisheng, artificially built Gaotai).

Before that, it flowed south through Luozhuang in Guo Village, Yitang Town, Lanshan District, passing through Baoquan Temple, Tancheng, and Pizhou, Jiangsu Province, and finally into the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

King Jing took the advice of the local people and dug an artificial river channel in Guo Village, Yitang Town, so the road was still retained, but another artificial river was opened to the east, and today's Hongda Road was connected with the Mud River, which could merge into the southern moat of the ancient city of Yizhou and into the Wu River.

When flowing through the west gate of the ancient city of Linyi, it is divided into two strands, the north strand passes through the west gate wall and the north gate of Linyi Original City, and flows east into the Yi River; the south strand flows into the moat (that is, the Qinglong River) near the Grasshopper Temple.

In this way, the rivers of Linyi Ancient City are dotted with dots, forming a complete and developed water system.

Later generations called the north moat that joined the north moat as the North River, and the old road south of Guo Village to the River was called the South River.

In Linyi, a situation of "Beizhu River, Nanwu River, and Yi River connects north and south" was formed.

Imagine that the Ming Dynasty more than five hundred years ago continued China's self-sufficient and self-sufficient natural economy for thousands of years, with simple production tools, no modern engineering equipment such as excavators, completely relying on labor, and the amount of engineering was huge. King Jing accompanied Chincha to the construction site to supervise, taking advantage of the dry water period, and successfully completed it in less than half a year.

The king of Jing dredged the Zhuo River and successfully controlled the water, which was loved by the people of Yizhou.

The place where the imperial court sent Chincha and the water-controlling gongbu attendant Fu Xifa were stationed later formed the former Qinsu and Later Qinsu.

Several villages were formed in the place where King Jing zhishui was temporarily stationed, and people called it Wang Zhuang, such as Song Wang Zhuang, Cao Wang Zhuang, Lu Wang Zhuang and so on.

King Jing believed in Buddhism and often donated money to rebuild the temple. He saw that the Baoquan Temple in the southwest of Linyi City was in ruins at that time, so he donated funds to the Buddha and rebuilt the Buddhist hall, and his merit was immeasurable.

Today, this Baoquan Temple, located in the southwest of Zhuchen Village in Luozhuang District, Linyi City, has become one of the four famous temples in Linyi, and stone inscriptions still exist in the temple to record the deeds of King Jing who donated funds to cultivate Buddhism and guided him into the city.

In the ninth year of Jiajing (1530), Princess Cao of Jing died at the age of 47.

Nature's ingenuity has created a unique geographical condition in Linyi, the terrain of Linyi area is high in the north and low in the south, the Mengshan Mountains are stacked in the north, and the plains of the YiHe River impact brushing the Next Ma Ping River in the south. Mengshan Yishui, so Linyi is also commonly known as Yimeng.

Create Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dawn.

The ancients had the concept of seeing death as life, not to mention the emperors and princes.

It is said that the King of Jing has chosen the southern foothills of Mengshan Mountain for his future generations, where there is water in the north and south of the mountain, which is a treasure land of feng shui.

King Jing built a mausoleum in front of the mountain, buried his wife here first, and buried himself here a hundred years later. Ten thousand pine trees were planted around the mausoleum, and from a distance, they were lush and lush, and the sky was as vast as the sea.

Tomb of Cao Fei of Wang Linzhuang, Fei County

This mausoleum is located in the east of Xuezhuang Town, Fei County, under the Yuntai Mountain. The forest guards at the foot of the mountain later formed a village, Wang Lin Village.

Just seven years after Cao Fei's death, in the summer of the sixteenth year of Jiajing (1537), King Xue of Jing died at the age of 53, and the magistrate of Yizhou was obituaryed to the capital, and the Jiajing Emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to build a tomb for king Jing, because king Jing was honest and honest before his death, advocating simplicity, giving the title of "Jane", and there was "a virtue and unremitting Jane" in the law, and the King of Jing was also known as the King of Jing.

Tomb of King Jing

Before the death of King Jing, his only son Zhu Houyi died without the title, according to the Ming Dynasty system, after the death of the king of Jing, if he had no children, he had to remove his title and be buried in the capital.

Today, the eight major places in Xishan, Beijing, are famous for the burial of the King of Jing in the Ming Dynasty. Concubine Cao, who was buried at the foot of Mount Meng, also moved to Xishan.

The mausoleum at the southern foot of Mount Meng became an empty tomb.

Another of King Jing's concubines, Princess Wei, the Jiajing Emperor, ordered the rebuilding of the Jing Dynasty in Beijing to allow her to spend her old age in peace.

Since then, the Jing Palace in Linyi has gradually been abandoned. Today, the rich and gorgeous Jing Palace has long disappeared and has become a building for ordinary residents.

In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Since the dredging of the River, the scenery of the River is pleasant, and many literati and inkers have come to chant the wind and get the moon. During the Ming Dynasty, Shu Xiang, an Anhui man, visited here when he was teaching in Yizhou and left a poem:

The sky is slightly aberration high, and a few trees of peach blossoms bloomed last night.

Willow crying warblers in March, broken clouds and wild geese for nine days.

A thousand doors are scattered in the morning, and a hundred battles are missing at the beginning of the dawn.

At this time, the city is full of spring colors and Penglai.

Later generations gave this poem the title "Hirano Xiaoji", which became a representative poem of the Eight Views of Yizhou.

After the reform and opening up, with the development of industry and commerce, the water of the Zhuohe River is seriously polluted, the flood control is low, and the flood discharge function of the river is weak. In 2005, the municipal government invested more than 30 billion yuan to renovate the Shuhe River in three years and build a pilot project with both water town scenery and commercial tourism.

Scenery of the Shu River

Today, the River has been reborn and renewed, the river is crystal clear, and the banks are lined with trees, making it an excellent place for people to relax and entertain.

The mangrove green mountains are inclined by the day, and the grass in the suburbs is endlessly green.
