At 8:00 a.m. on March 14, take the train from Xi'an to Wugong, after getting married, this is the first time my daughter-in-law came to Wugong County to stay, bring a few simple toiletries, carry a small bag and go to Xi'an Railway Station. After the new construction of the railway station, great changes, is a modern building intertwined with modern and ancient culture, the entire railway station can see the historical shadow of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, the first floor of the back shaped door frame, decorated with the historical relics of the four ancient civilizations. We took the escalator up to the second floor, waited in the No. 5 waiting room to get on the train, and after a short break in the waiting room of Xi'an Railway Station, we boarded the C171 Xi'an-Baoji train and headed to Wugong County.
Before the departure, my daughter-in-law asked me where martial arts is fun, where is it delicious, and what are the local specialties? I have always wanted to tell her the history of martial arts, but how to tell the story of martial arts well is not an easy task. Compared with several counties around it, Wugong County seems to belong to a cultural desert and a low-lying area for historical figures. Wugong County is adjacent to Xingping City, where Emperor Wudi of Han and Ma Songyi are located, Qian County has the Qianling Tomb where Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian are buried together, and Zhouzhi County has Fireworks Alley, Louguan Terrace, Caishen Temple and Water Street; Yangling is an agricultural city in China, and Yangling is named after the tomb of Yang Jian, the emperor of Sui, and the story of Yang Jian is also a major feature of Yangling culture.
After passing the two main urban areas of Xianyang, you will come to Xingping City, where there are many historical figures, including Emperor Wudi of Han, Yang Guifei, Princess Jincheng and Wei Yezhuo. Princess Jincheng was the second Tang princess to marry Princess Wencheng to Tubo, and Princess Jincheng was more noble in blood than Princess Wencheng, she was the granddaughter of Wu Zetian's second son Li Xian, and his third and fourth grandfathers were Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Li Xian and Emperor Ruizong of Tang Li Dan. Tubo courted for a relative, thirteen-year-old Princess Jincheng, shouldering a huge mission and marrying far away from the plateau! Tang Zhongzong Li Xian has been sending Princess Jincheng to present (now Xingping City), and now there is a Jincheng Avenue in Xingping City, which is the story of commemorating the entry of Princess Jincheng into Tibet. In the nineteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty (731), Princess Jincheng specially sent an envoy to the dynasty, and asked Emperor Xuanzong to give her three works: "Mao Poems" (that is, the ancient text "Book of Poetry" compiled and annotated by Mao Heng of Lu State and Mao Cang of Zhao State in the Western Han Dynasty), "Spring and Autumn", and "Book of Rites".
On the train, we went all the way from Xi'an to Wugong, passing through Xianyang and Xingpingdi, and by the way, we talked about the origin of Xianyang's place names, the mountains and waters are yang, the south of the mountains and the north of the water is the yang, which is the country of the Qin state, where the Shang Martingale transformation method was completed, the king of Qin swept Liuhe, the tiger looked at He Xiongya, and the nobles of the six countries bowed down and returned to the west. The main urban area of Xianyang is Weicheng District and Qindu District, Weicheng is light and dusty, Yang Liu Qingqing Willow is new, advise Jun to have a glass of wine, the west out of Yangguan without cause, it is Xianyang Weicheng, Qindu District as the name suggests is the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace is here.
Wugong seems to be the county town with the least sense of existence in the surrounding area, and later I found that sometimes telling the history of martial arts from a different angle, maybe she will give you a different wonderful. However, I have been in Wugong County for a long time, and I also know the seven major cultures of martial arts, Jiang Yumuyi culture, Houji farming culture, Suwu patriotic culture, Su Hui Shijin culture, Tang King gratitude culture, Zhang Zaiguan study culture, Kang Hai opera culture.
On the train, I will start with the historical figures who have won the title of martial arts, and there are two people who have won the king of Wugong County in history, namely Zhao Defang, the son of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and Li Dun, uncle of Nur Hachi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Dezhao (赵德zhao), also known as Rixin, was the second son of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty Zhao Kuangyin (the eldest son Zhao Dexiu died early). During Zhao Kuangyin's lifetime, Zhao Dezhao successively served as the defense envoy of Guizhou, Xingyuan Yin, the envoy of Shannanxi Dao, the inspector of the imperial school, and the Pingzhangshi of Tongzhongshu Menxia. After the death of Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, he was reappointed as the envoy of Yongxing Jiedu by Emperor Taizong of Song, and concurrently served as an attendant, and was named the king of Wugong County. Zhao Defang is the eight sage kings in "The Romance of the Yang Family Generals", "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", "The Legend of the Yang Family Generals", "Wanhualou", "Bao Gong Case" and "Hu Family Generals", holding a concave gold Jane, who can beat the unconscious king and the next to the courtier.
Qing Taizu Nur Hachi's uncle Li Dun was born heroic, and Jue Chang'an wooed the two tribes of Pingshuo Sana, Naihu, and Li Dun made the greatest merit, known as "Baturu". In 1583, when Nurhachi rebelled, Litun had long since died. Nurhachi established Tokyo and buried Jingzu and Xianzu in Yanglu Mountain, accompanied by Litun. In the first year of Chongde (1636), Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty decided that the name of the world was "Daqing" and changed the name to Chongde. In the first year of Chongde, the Taimiao Temple was founded, and Emperor Taiji commemorated the merits of Li Dun's entrepreneurship and posthumously named him the King of Wugong County.
The only historical martial arts county kings are Zhao Defang of the Northern Song Dynasty and Li Dun of the Qing Dynasty, among the lords, many historical figures have won martial merit lang, Yue Fei was twenty-six years old in the second year of Jianyan (1128), and in 1128 he defeated the Jin army with doubtful tactics, in August, the gold breaker was in Xianshui Pass, and then broke through Zhuludu, Zhu Wugonglang, Wude Dafu, and Yingzhou Assassination History. Zhang Xian, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, was Yue Fei's son-in-law and married Yue Xiao'e. With Yue Fei to pacify Dingqian, Ji Erzhou thieves, because of his merits, he was promoted from the posts of Wugonglang and Hemen Xuanzanshe to Wuliao Dafu, Jizhou Assassin Shi, etc. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Hun led an army of 20,000 to attack Caizhou in the Jin State, Jin Weizong hanged himself, and the Jin State perished! "Special Awarding Martial Meritorious Lang", Meng Hun was praised by the later Soviet military scientist Volkogonov as "the greatest mobile defense master of China in the 13th century", comparing Meng Hun with German Field Marshal Manstein in World War II! Yang Price of Banzhou led more than 10,000 "Xiongwei Army" to garrison between Luzhou and Yuzhou, so that the Mongolian army did not dare to rashly attack. After Yang Price's death in the third year of Chunyou (1243), he was posthumously presented by the Southern Song Dynasty as the third division of Kaifu Yitong, the envoy of the Weiwu Ning Wuzhong Zhengjun Jiedu, and the marquis of Weiling Yingmarty, and the official rank was only Wugong Dafu (the fifteenth rank of the Hengban Scattered Order, equivalent to the Zhengqipin). Through the string of lectures in the Song Dynasty, he obtained the official position of Wugonglang, connected the history of martial arts and characters, and jumped out of the history of Wugong County to the history of martial arts.
After an hour and a half drive, we finally arrived at the county seat of Wugong, where there were not many high-rise buildings, but there were many people on the streets, and then we took a taxi back to the place where I was stationed, where Yangliu Yiyi, everywhere was full of the smell of spring.
