Acting on the stage
Yan Yitai is the place where King Wen of Zhou deduces gossip. Located in Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province, known in ancient times as Qiangli, King Huan imprisoned King Jichang of Zhou, and during his detention, King Wen deduced sixty-four gua and three hundred and eighty-four gua according to Fuxi Bagua. Yan yi tai is located on an earthen platform with a height of about 105 meters long from north to south and 103 meters wide from east to west. The ruins still exist today.
Lutai
Lutai
Lutai was built by the King of Shang, in the Chaoge Imperial Palace, the site is now in the Hebi New District Juqiao Town between Liu Zhai and Shenzhai, about seven miles south of the city, on both sides of the Qishui, an area of more than 100 acres. According to legend, Dai Ji seduced the King of Shang, let the King of Shang spend a lot of effort, built a high platform, and invited the gods and immortals to go down, so the King of Shang Yi mobilized the masses, gathered craftsmen from all over the world, and ordered Jiang Ziya to supervise the repair, which lasted seven years, gathered the treasures of the whole country, and built a magnificent high platform. The high platform and the palace are full of fighting corners, bucket arch cornices, carved beams and paintings, magnificent. The King of Shang and Daji, as well as many singers, drank and feasted on it all day, ignoring the government. Later, King Wu cut down the silk, and king Huan set himself on fire on Lutai.
However, according to the research of modern historians, the so-called "Lutai" was originally "Lutai", because "Lutai" and "Deer" are similar, so it was falsely rumored and misrepresented as "Lutai". According to historical records, after the Zhou Wu King Keshang " scattered the money of Lutai ", it can be seen that the platform should be the place where important items are stored.
Three returns to Taiwan
Three returns to Taiwan
During the Spring and Autumn Period, duke Huan of Qi, with the assistance of Guan Zhong, dominated the princes and became stronger than ever. In recognition of Guan Zhong's merits, Duke Huan of Qi rewarded Guan Zhongqi with a year's tax. Since then, Guan Zhong has lived an extremely luxurious life, and Guan Zhong has built a high platform in his home, named "Three Return Platforms", on which he often feasts and drinks. As for why it is called "Three Returns to Taiwan", since ancient times, there have been many opinions. In the Spring and Autumn of Yanzi, it is said that the "Three Returns" refers to the three residences that Qi Huan gave to Guan Zhong. Feng Menglong said in the "Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" that "three returns" refers to: the return of the people, the return of the princes, and the return of the four Yi. Guo Songtao said in the "Three Returns" that "three returns" refers to "the third of the people has returned to the upper level". This means that 30% of the people's income must be paid to the public. There are many more such explanations. I prefer Feng Menglong's explanation. Guan Zhonghao is also a generation of famous people, and is the platinum-level spokesperson of Confucianism, which can only be matched by the magnificent realm of "the return of the people, the return of the princes, and the return of the four Yi".
Congtai
Congtai
Cong Tai, also known as "Wuling Cong Tai", because it was built by the Zhao State, it is also called "Zhao Cong Tai", located in Handan City.
During the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao rode and shot, and the national strength increased greatly, and the King of Wuling often held large-scale military exercises and military parades, so a series of buildings were built in the inner garden of the imperial palace, which were connected by overpasses, unimpeded, strange structure, grand scale, and wonderful decoration. Because there are many buildings, it is called "Cong Tai". For more than 2,000 years, wuling congtai has attracted politicians and dignitaries from all generations and literati to take the stage to reminisce about the ancients, inscribed poems and poems, and expressed their aspirations. Whenever describing the vicissitudes of history and the rise and fall of Yan Zhao, people love to use "Cong Tai" as a metaphor. For example, Li Bai has a poem: the song is easy to move, and the drums are shaking and the platform is tilted. Cen Shan's "sad bushes" are under the stage, and there are vines in the area. "Sima Guang's" flag moved to the shogunate, and the thorny vines conglomerated the platform. etc
Golden Table
Golden Table
The Golden Terrace, also known as the "Zhaoxian Terrace", was built by King Yan Zhao during the Warring States period, and the specific address is currently disputed, one said to be in the southeast, south, north of Yi County, Hebei Province, and the other said that it was in the north of the current Beijing Guomao, near the subway Jintai Xizhao Station. After King Yan Zhao succeeded to the throne, he was thirsty for talents, but he could not recruit talents, and later a man named Guo Kui told King Yan Zhao a story of "Thousand Gold City Bones", to the effect that there was a king who asked people to bring thousands of gold to buy Thousand Mile Horses, but after three years, the man only brought back a few horse bones. The man said to the king, I heard that there was a thousand-mile horse, but when I found it, the horse was dead, so I bought its bones back, although the horse bones I bought back were useless, but people heard that the monarch you are even willing to spend thousands of dollars on horse bones, are you still worried about not having a thousand horses? Sure enough, within a few days, someone sent a Maxima to the monarch. Guo Kui then said, Now, the great king you are eager for talent, why don't you use heavy money to hire me, so that the people of the country know that even a person with mediocre intelligence like me, the monarch is willing to hire a lot of money, the king, are you still worried about no talent to come.
King Yan Zhao, taking Guo Kui's advice, built a high platform in the territory of the Yan kingdom, which was filled with precious pearls and jade, which was used to recruit talents on the stage. Therefore, it is called "Golden Platform" or "Golden Platform". Whenever the literati of later generations feel that they are not in the right place and that the monarch is ignorant, they will remember the allusion of King Yan Zhao's construction of the golden platform. Tang Dynasty Chen Ziang's famous "Dengyouzhou Tai Song" is about this stage. He expressed that he was not reused by the imperial court, and was grateful for the grand act of King Yan Zhao's eclectic recruitment of talents. Li Bai also said: Zhao Wang white bone haunting grass, who sweeps the golden platform?
Copper Sparrow Terrace
Copper Sparrow Terrace
Tongquetai is located in the southwest of Linzhang County, Handan City, Hebei Province. During the Three Kingdoms period, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he built the capital of Yidu and built the three platforms of Tongque, Golden Tiger and Bingjing, that is, the "Three Terraces of Yi" in the history books, which is the birthplace of Jian'an literature, with a height of 10 zhang and more than 100 houses. Because of Cao Zhi's "Stage Endowment", also known as "Tongquetai Fu", tongquetai became famous, and at the same time, it also emerged from the three stations, and its reputation and status were far higher than the other two.
Tongquetai is located in the middle of the three platforms, with the Jinhutai to the south and the Ice Well Terrace to the north, 60 steps each. The middle pavilion type pontoon bridge is connected, "Shi, then the three are connected, and if it is abandoned, the center is suspended." After the Sixteen Kingdoms, Zhao Shihu added two zhangs on the basis of Cao Wei's ten zhangs, and built five floors on it, fifteen zhangs high, for a total of twenty-seven zhang. Majestic and exalted, its height is like a mountain. The windows are decorated with copper shrouds, and at the beginning of the sun, streamers shine. He also made a bronze finch on the roof of the building, one foot tall and five feet high, and his wings flew like a fly.
According to the Book of Yizhong, when Shi Hu was in stone, there were one hundred and twenty halls in Tongquetai, and there were female prisoners and prostitutes in the rooms. The main hall is equipped with a royal bed, hanging a Shu brocade fringe tent, a golden dragon head in the four corners, a five-color tassel on the street, and a golden button bending screen bed. Two wells were dug in Tongquetai, and there were iron beam tunnels between the two wells, called "Life Son Cave", which stored a lot of treasure and food. In the ninth year of Northern Qi Tianbao (558 AD), 300,000 craftsmen were requisitioned and three were overhauled. After the renovation, Tongquetai was renamed Jinfengtai. The Tang Dynasty reverted to its old name. The station is well-known at home and abroad, and there are many inscriptions by famous people in the past, among which the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu once had a famous sentence in his "Chibi" that "the East Wind does not cooperate with Zhou Lang Ben, and the Bronze Bird Spring Deep Lock Erqiao".
See the vast opening of the Heavenly Palace, and see the new camp of the Holy Virtue. Build a high hall of Saga, floating double Que Taiqing. Standing in the sky, even fei ge hu xi. The long stream of the Linzhang River, the glory of the fruits. Look up to the harmony of the spring wind and listen to the mournful song of the birds. These gorgeous words and phrases, to this day, can still feel the majesty of the Tongquetai, which is exciting.
Xingtai
Xingtai
3700 years ago, the Jing tribe in the northwest moved east along the Yellow River all the way to the southern region of present-day Hebei, they saw that the land here was fertile, and the hundred springs flowed, they settled here, and named it "Jingfang" after their tribe's surname. Later, the Yellow Emperor led the people here to sink wells and develop well fields, which gradually developed into a large population of "Yi", and in order to commemorate the Yellow Emperor's sinking of wells and building Yi here, later generations combined "well" and "Yi" to create a new word "Xing". In the last year of the Shang Dynasty, Marquis Xing was one of the three dukes, and the King of Shang asked Marquis Xing to build a palace for him, so Marquis Xing built a "xingtai" in the sand dunes, where the king of Shangyi drank and feasted for a long night and did something wrong. Marquis Xing advised the King of Sui, who was furious and killed Marquis Xing. Later, this place was always called "Xingzhou", and in the last years of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song combined the ancient name "Xing" and the "Tai" character of "Xingtai" built by Xinghou to change this place to "Xingtai".
Due to its age, the platform built by Xing Hou no longer exists and has no evidence.
Yantai
Yantai
Compared with the previous stations, Yantai is not famous because of "Taiwan", on the contrary, this "Platform" is famous because of this place. In the thirty-first year of Ming Hongwu (1398), in order to prevent the Wokou, the Ming Dynasty set up a wolf smoke pier in present-day Yantai Mountain, that is, the "Beacon Tower", so it was called "Yantai". On August 24, 1945, the Eighth Route Army liberated Yantai, and Yantai became the earliest and largest coastal port city liberated by the Eighth Route Army. Because of its superior geographical location, policy support and the efforts of the local people, Yantai has developed rapidly after the reform and opening up, and has become an important port city on the eastern coast of the mainland.
