The stone arch bridge is reflected in the Chushui River, like a round of crescent moon, the wind blows and the water blows, the moon ripples with the water, intoxicating the chillers on the bridge, and the old man tells the story of civilization...
Zhennan Bridge, also known as Liangqiao, is a landmark cultural relic of Civilization Street, and super troublemakers like to stop on the bridge the most. To the east, you can see the majestic "Civilization Academy", and a couplet hangs on the left and right:
Wen Jing Wuwei, Shui Xiu Shan Ming
The couplet is the origin of "civilization", and now civilization because the ancestor of the great surname Luo in the territory is the assassin of Lianzhou, Guangdong, and on the way to his hometown Jiangxi, he saw the place "Wen Jing Wuwei, Water Xiu Shan Ming", so he settled here and named it "civilization". "Civilization" as a place name is really rare, no wonder many tourists exclaim how "civilization" is a place name?
Civilization is located in the western part of Rucheng, which borders three provinces, and it is more accurate to describe the backwardness of civilization in the past than to describe the remoteness. The Nanling Mountain Range in the south is blocked horizontally, the five ridges stretching in the east-west direction are blocked, and the Dongjiang River system in the north forms a natural obstacle. Without transportation, there can be no development. A thousand years ago, civilization was mainly inhabited by the Southern Barbarians (ancient name), mainly ethnic minorities. Due to the rugged mountains, the fields are not half an acre large, and the rivers are not kilometers long, and natural conditions form natural barriers.
Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the dynasties have changed too quickly, and after being ashamed of the official eunuchs, they fled to avoid disasters and stayed here, Luo originated from the history of Lianzhou, Guangdong, Zhang originated from Tang Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, and Zhu originated from Tang Lingnan Jiedu Envoy Zhu Shen.... These original Han people not only brought advanced production methods, but also brought the style of emphasizing culture and respecting religion.
The author is most familiar with the history of the Zhu clan of civilization on the sandbank, the ancestor was the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, he lived in seclusion in Rucheng and Jing, the 19th ancestor Sichenggong moved to civilization, and his descendants set up "enlightenment book fasting" and "performance examination pavilion" in the sandbank, poetry inherited, cultivated and read the heirloom, and the excellent Chinese literary style was deeply rooted in the sandbar and passed down from generation to generation.
The whole civilization gradually set up schools, attached importance to education, constantly people took the test for fame, chanting poetry is the hobby of readers, and regular joint competitions were held. There is a Loujiang Xiucai is doing "Shangzhang Loujiang over the city" Shanglian, Shangzhang, Loujiang, and Chengxia are all civilized place names, and Shazhou Xiucai is the "loess Xiushui moisturizing cold field", very ingenious is that loess, Xiushui, and cold field (now known as Hantian) are also civilized place names.
Nowadays, the construction of the red sandbar scenic spot focuses on the local characteristics of civilization, attaches great importance to the protection of the original style, and restores or rebuilds the academy in the original school place, so as to revitalize the literary style for civilization.
