Ancient and modern Yue Fei and Cixian County
Text/Wang Hongsheng
Yue Fei, a famous patriotic national hero in ancient times, is famous in ancient and modern China and abroad, and can be said to be known to everyone, well-known and admired by everyone. Especially after the "Manjiang Hong" TV series was broadcast on CCTV at the beginning of this year, it caused people to remember and revere this patriotic famous general and national hero Yue Fei who was loyal to the country in ancient times!
Anyone who has read the words of Yue Fei's "Manxian Red" will find Yue Fei: the word "stepping through the lack of Helan Mountain" in a long car is actually related to the region of Cixian County, and Helan Mountain is in Handan Cixian County, Hebei.
With doubts, the author went to Cixian County to visit relevant scholars for on-the-spot investigation and investigation, and consulted relevant materials for verification.
During my visit, the author learned that for a period of time, the "Helan Mountain" in "Manjiang Hong" has been debated by historians, and some people even suspect that this poem was not written by Yue Fei. Opponents believe that Helan Mountain is a general rather than a real reference, a common metaphor in literature, and it cannot be said that the author has made a geographical common sense error. In order to excavate and develop the historical and cultural resources of Helan Mountain, experts from the local history organization of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region specially came to Cixian County to conduct a field investigation of "Helan Mountain". Wu Zhongli, former vice president of the Ningxia Academy of Social Sciences and a well-known historical expert, said, "According to historical research, Yue Fei's footprints have never been to Helan Mountain in Ningxia, and Yue Fei's anti-gold activity area is in Helan Mountain in Cixian County. Wu Zhongli believes that Helan Mountain in Cixian County is not only ancient and inextricably related to Yue Fei and his military career.
According to the "History of Song", "Records of Jiyuan County", "Records of Songshan", "Records of Cizhou" and other records, Emperor Zhenzong of Song summoned Helan Zhenren in the second year of Jingde (1005), and then renamed "Xishan" as "Helan Mountain", 98 years earlier than the second year of Chongning (1103) when Yue Fei was born, and 117 years earlier than the fourth year of Xuanhe (1122) when Yue Fei was born. Yue Fei's anti-gold activities took the north-south official road as the axis, centered on Cizhou, where Helan Mountain is located, from Zhending in the north to the vast area by the Yellow River in the south, and fought for 6 years, and Helan Mountain in Cixian County occupied an important position in Yue Fei's strategic decision-making of the Northern Expedition.
Archaeological experts from Cixian County demonstrated that Helan Mountain was the training ground where Yue Fei garrisoned Yuecheng, and he had led troops to Helan Mountain for training many times. This area left many legends and ruins about Yue Fei. The "Cizhou Record" recorded: "Yuecheng is 55 li southwest of the county. In the early years of Song Jianyan, Yue Wumu was stationed here. "The site of Yue Fei's garrison in the north of the village was originally called "Yue Fei Village", and the three villages of East, West and Xiaohouzhao in Cixian County were named because Yue Jiajun had waited here for the imperial court's holy decree, and the "preaching ditch" between the two villages in the east and west of Cixian County is said to be the place where Yue Fei went to Ji Qian's troops to learn about righteousness, and Ji Qian's troops, inspired by Yue Fei's generous statement, decided to return to the imperial court and fight against the golden enemy.
When he learned that Yue Fei was inextricably linked with the domain name of Cixian County, and that there was a legend of Yue Fei's resistance to gold and the temples and ancestral halls built by his descendants to admire him, the fact was undoubted, Yue Fei had an indissoluble bond with Cixian County, and the ruins and legends he left behind made future generations admire!
Yue Fei's meritorious reputation has been thousands, and he has served the country with loyalty. As a native of Handan Cixian County, I am proud of Yue Fei, and proud that Yue Fei has a relationship with Cixian County!
