Writing this topic is more than three o'clock in the morning, the article is to start writing at more than four o'clock, there are many times I have such a feeling, saying that writing an article is a woman pregnant and giving birth to a child, the stomach has matured and must be born, this is not intentionally elevating their insomnia behavior is not easy to say, then to the low, as if holding a bubble of urine, do not let it pull down is not also very uncomfortable, elegant and popular appreciation, everyone can understand, the custom is daya, don't pull those useless, or cut into the right topic! Over the years, it has always been a matter of time to believe in horses and horses, and it is often the case to digress. In my sleep, I somehow remembered that yesterday in WeChat, I saw the picture of the pottery mask of the Baoding Beifudi ruins eight thousand years ago, and I remembered the true story of these pottery pieces with the ruins of the ancient city of Dongyuan in Shijiazhuang over the years, and I can sleep whenever I sleep, and when the creative impulse comes, I have to put it into practice immediately.
That was almost twenty years ago! In 2003 SARS surged forward, the new house purchased the previous year was next to the Ishizu Irrigation Canal, after moving in, often in the evening and early morning strolling on the high hill of the river, this stretch of two or three miles of riverbank, part of the river is still a large tree, the natural landscape is also quite good, now there is a lot of wild beauty and desolate beauty, remote, desolate, at that time there were few residential buildings in this area. Nothing often come to see some eyebrows, the river and the earthen mound, as well as the villagers reclaimed vegetable fields will often see some pottery pieces, mainly gray pottery, occasionally there will be red pottery and sand gray pottery, combined with the local West Ancient City and East Ancient City place names, I guess this should be an ancient city site, quickly consult the historical information of Shijiazhuang, it turns out that this is the ancient city of Dongyuan that has had a huge impact in the history of Shijiazhuang.
Since then, whether it is a weekend or an early morning at dusk, whether it is windy or rainy, the area on both sides and east of this three- or four-mile-long Shijin trunk canal will have more figures that I look down for. Despite the loneliness and loneliness, despite the hardships and ruins, the happiness found in it can still dilute the long-term fruitlessness. Clay pots, pottery beans, pottery pots, pottery bowls, pottery plates, pottery bowls, pottery bowls, pottery spinning wheels, too many pottery beans and pottery spinning wheels have found evidence for the discontinuity of Dongyuan ancient pottery and the development of the textile industry in this area. Many unknown kiln tools, such as gaskets, branch burners, pottery beats, etc. have also been found from time to time, which has revealed the flourishing scene of the kiln farm in that year, the excavated utensils are based on daily pottery as a bulk, the number of bricks and tiles for construction is also very large, the pattern decoration is the most exquisite cloud tile with different shapes, and the front and back of the plate tile and barrel tile are decorated with rope patterns, cloth patterns, and dot stamps. Over the years, ancient pottery has accumulated more and more.
Nearly twenty years of search and collection, both a sense of relief and a lot of lifelong regrets, with the acceleration of the urbanization process of Dongyuan Ancient City ruins were dismembered, destroyed, edge is the biggest practical problem, and these problems with the acceleration of time, more and more become insoluble, sports street north extension will be Dongyuan Ancient City ruins divided into two, the most abundant cultural heritage of the Shijin irrigation canal river channel has been destroyed by cement slope, pottery workshop area is seriously damaged, and it is always difficult to recover, the river bottom wall thickness of up to 5 cm, The diameter of more than 1 meter of ceramic vat is no longer difficult to see the light of day, once the citizens placed high hopes on the 3,000 acres of Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins Park, has become a more slim planning (ghost talk), once the archaeological exploration is only a partial exploration of the site, the real possibility of excavation value of the old village transformation is to completely break the dream of site protection.
In order to solve the mystery of Dongyuan ancient pottery and Dongyuan Ancient City, I began the process of collecting and researching while collecting, books on the history and culture of Shijiazhuang, articles by Liang Yong, Li Yong and other teachers, and then began to find, flip through, and buy a large number of books and materials on history, culture, archaeology, and literature, Tan Qijie's "Atlas of Chinese History", Su Bingqi's "New Exploration of the Origin of Chinese Civilization", and Zhang Pengchuan's "Atlas of Chinese Faience Pottery" helped me a lot. Shaanxi Banpo ruins, Liaoning Niuheliang ruins, Shanxi Tao Temple sites, these and ancient pottery related ancient sites have also entered my sight, more than ten years have also visited and inspected the Magnetic Mountain Cultural Sites in Hebei, gansu Dadiwan Cultural Sites, Hubei Qujialing Cultural Sites, Inner Mongolia Hongshan Culture Erdaojingzi Sites, Inner Mongolia Prehistoric Hack Sites, etc., museums across the country have become often study places, in order to restore the appearance of Dongyuan ancient pottery, began to combine their years of art accumulation to try to restore ancient pottery, It is necessary to protect as much evidence of Shijiazhuang's history and culture as possible by one's own efforts.
As early as the Warring States period, Dongyuan was an important city in Zhongshan State after the capital Lingshou City, dongyuanyi was bordered by the Tuotuo River in the north and Jingjingkou in the west, and its geographical location was very important, it was a strategic place for long-term competition between the Yan Kingdom, the Zhao State and the Zhongshan State, and it was the political, economic, cultural and military center of this area. In 325 BC, King Wuling of Zhao ascended the throne, and in order to expand northwards, he launched a war of attacks that lasted for several years in 309 BC, and by the third year of King Huiwen of Zhao (296 BC) destroyed the Kingdom of Zhongshan, a large area of land along the Tuotuo River in the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain was incorporated into the territory of the State of Zhao, and this city was called Dongyi. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Dongyuan County was established in Dongyi, and in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang initially decided the world, and he personally led several large armies to quell the rebellion here, and Han Gaozu proceeded from the maintenance of his ruling interests, taking the meaning of true pacification, and renamed Dongyuan zhending, which belonged to Hengshan County during this period.
In 113 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the Zhending State here, the Eastern Han Dynasty abolished the Zhending State and changed it to Changshan County, and in the early Western Jin Dynasty, that is, in 265 AD, the seat of the administration of Changshan County was moved from the ancient city of Changshan in today's Yuanshi County to the ancient city of Dongyuan, which laid the groundwork for Changshan Zhao Zilong to be Yuanshi County or Zhengding County. Dongyuan passes through Dongyuanyi, Zhending County, Zhendingguo, Hengshan County, and Changshan County. From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, natural disasters in the Area of Dongyuan were frequent, and the ancient city of Zhending began to seek development towards the relatively stable north bank of the Tuotuo River. In the second year of Jinlong'an, that is, in 398 AD, the county was moved to an early part of the ancient city of Zhengding, and in the fourth year of Tang Wude (621 AD), Zhending County was also moved to Anlelei, so that Dongyuan lost its position as a political, economic, cultural and military center along the Tuotuo River in the eastern foothills of the Taihang Mountains, and gradually fell into the cold, at least a thousand years of prosperity and splendor slowly disappeared in the wind and frost and rain of the ruthless years, the ancient city of Dongyuan gradually faded out of people's sight, and the city that once dominated the side was gradually abandoned. By the 1950s, only faint remnants of the city walls remained. More than 600 years later, there are place names such as Chengjiao Temple, Chengdaogou Temple, Chengpo'er, Xicheng Po'er, Gangda, Shi powa, DongchengPo, Chengjiao, and Nanchengpo that reveal ancient information. This round of old city transformation will completely obliterate these ancient place names in the dust of history.
In fact, the origin with this city must be more than these twenty years, remember or childhood, I will go to the South High Camp to find my cousin to play on vacation, catch birds on the tree, touch the fish in the river, play like crazy, often play happily, at that time there is no bicycle and no bicycle, often a few miles away from the road are underground, at that time there was no concept of the ancient city of Dongyuan, just to pass through the country road, the tall poplar tree is a sign, in addition to the ruins of the north side of the forest road is also an important symbol, Halfway through, standing on the high mound you can see your cousin's village, and then you have to climb up and down to beware of the spikes of the sour jujube, and the mound under my feet is the southern wall of the ancient city of Dongyuan, which is the east-west street of the town today, I vaguely remember how many Han tombs there seem to be under a mound on the south side, at that time there was no interest in these, and I can't remember it now, which is also a pity that I have always felt that it is a pity. It is also a pity that in the past forty years or so, an ancient city that has survived for 1,400 years after being abandoned has completely disappeared, and a larger city next to it is growing, and one day a new city is repentant, and some people have begun to study the relationship between the two cities, to find roots and visit ancestors for the new city.
Dongyuan Ancient City has long been an important city along the Taihang Mountain, an important city along the Tuotuo River, a county, a county, a prefecture, and the capital of the Hou kingdom, leaving many important historical relics and historical events, Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, the Ancestor of Han Gaozu, Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, Zhao Yun, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, and Li Gao, a famous physician of the Jin Dynasty, all of which are inextricably linked to this city. In the southwest side of the ancient city of Dongyuan once had Yunpan Mountain, hengshan king Zhang Er tomb is here, the liberation of Shijiazhuang is an important military stronghold, but also the commanding heights on the edge of the city, and then to the southwest is the ruins of the ancient city of Shiyi, continue to the southwest is the ruins of the ancient city of Changshan of the Yuan dynasty, in the west of the ancient city of Dongyuan, the south side of the Shijin Irrigation Canal has the tomb of Zhao Tuo's ancestors, before the tomb scale is larger, and then to the west there is the tomb of the founding prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Shi Tianze family tomb, and further west is the ruins of the Capital Lingshou City of the Zhongshan Kingdom, to the north is the Nanyangzhuang ruins and zhengding ancient city of Zhengding, Further north is the Zhengding New City Puxian Yu Guodu Ruins and Xinle Fuxitai, to the east is the Baifokou Ancient Cultural Site, and further east is the Gaocheng Taixi Shang Dynasty Ruins, in the long history of four or five thousand years, Shijiazhuang this area is not without culture, but one of the richest areas of Chinese history and culture.
It was a fortuitous discovery that made me and Dongyuan's old city form a lifelong love affair, and it will continue to continue in my lifetime. In 2007, the original intention of the Shimen Rattrap Dog in Sina was to publicize and promote the Dongyuan Ancient City of Shijiazhuang, because the previous Tieba and forums have shown a trend of declining rivers and rivers, and must build a new platform for this city and these pottery, opened the "RatTracker Says" WeChat public account, to the woodpecker his father registered "Today's Headlines", for the city, for these ancient pottery, my Sina blog Since 2012, "The Story of Dongyuan Ancient Pottery" has permanently become a long-term top article, which is still the case today. At this point, my life has an eternal relationship with the ancient city of Dongyuan. More than once, someone wants to buy and exchange my Dongyuan ancient pottery, some people say that you will open a price for these ancient pottery I will take away, but for the Dongyuan Ancient City Museum in my dream, for the lingering urban historical and cultural dream in my dream, today I have some small money, how to face the expectations of many Shijiazhuang Dongyuan fans in the future, so here is also a good gentleman of the ancients, and in the future, I will be exempted from the mouth, and these ancient potteries will be donated to the Dongyuan Ancient City Museum for free in the future.
How many words have been written in the past twenty years, it is difficult to count, how many dreams have been made in these twenty years, it is difficult to count, "Through historical time and space to find the glory of the ancient city of Dongyuan yesterday", "The ruins of the ancient city of Dongyuan to visit the ancestors", "Shimen to find the roots of the Dongyuan to visit the ancestors", "Shijin Dry Canal in the whimpering Dongyuan Ancient City is crying", "Shijiazhuang Dongyuan Ancient City Online Museum opened", "West Ancient City, East Ancient City, Nangaoying, North Gaoying Residents should pay attention to the most", "Repair ancient pottery to restore history", "Several Suggestions on the Protection of Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins", "Several Suggestions on the Protection of Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins", "Shijin Ganqu Is Crying in Dongyuan Ancient City", "Shijiazhuang Dongyuan Ancient City Online Museum Opened", "West Ancient City, East Ancient City, South Gaoying, North Gaoying Residents Should Pay Attention to", "Restoration of Ancient Pottery Restoration History", "Several Suggestions on the Protection of Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins", "Several Suggestions on the Protection of Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins", "Shijin Dry Canal Is Crying in Dongyuan Ancient City", "Shijiazhuang Dongyuan Ancient City Online Museum Opened", "West Ancient City, East Ancient City, Nangaoying, North Gaoying Residents Should Pay Attention to", " The mysterious history of the ancient city and the "My Unbearable Love affair with the Old City of Dongyuan" have all been published on the Internet and traditional media. Since 2005, it has frequently promoted the cooperation with "Hebei Youth Daily", "Yanzhao Evening News", "Yanzhao Metropolis Daily" to promote the cooperation of Dongyuan Ancient City, and has also been elevated to find the positive energy of Shijiazhuang's historical roots, radio recordings, television has also filmed feature films, magazines have also made summaries, coupled with long-term attention to the history and culture of Shijiazhuang, calling for the protection of the last few modern historical buildings, for which more than ten years ago was also awarded the title of advanced individual in the protection of cultural relics in Shijiazhuang, which are derived from the deeply loved Dongyuan ancient pottery, And love for this city.
Our city can be in a future is still very confused area, a place without any industrial advantages and aggregation effects at a time to drop a lot of money, built countless low usage rate are embarrassed to mention the public facilities, but reluctant to do something valuable for the history and culture of Shijiazhuang, Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins Park was completely extinguished after being hyped for a period of time in 2014, the natural Dongyuan Ancient City Museum has become even more slim, dongyuan ancient city museum is not important, I believe that one day the decision-making level will pay attention to it, but some people still have prejudices against the history and culture of Shijiazhuang, or simply do not understand the main city of Shijiazhuang, the ancient city of Dongyuan, the ancient city of Zhengding, and now it is necessary to force a stupid person to learn the P map, then draw the relationship between the three cities on the map, the red oval is the main urban area of Shijiazhuang, the blue is the zhengding ancient city and the zhengding new district, and the green circle contained in the upper part of the red oval circle is the ruins of the ancient city of Dongyuan, although the area is small, For Shijiazhuang and Zhengding are very important, the city's historical and cultural development context is also clear, whether it is important, whether it is irreplaceable, I will not say me.
