I searched for this place several times, but to no avail, and found it in a village in Chang'an District last year. Some time ago, I talked to a friend, and I navigated by the way, and finally saw that there was a positioning.
This is the tomb of General Zhu Ziqiao. Yu Youren once said to Zhu Ziqiao: Our children and grandchildren in Shaanxi will never forget you.
In 1941, Zhu Ziqiao died of illness at the age of 67, did not return to his hometown, but was buried under the Shaoling Tomb, the coffin of the burial was written by Feng Yuxiang, Yu Ren wrote the tomb cover, and Ye Gongqian wrote the epitaph.
When I paid homage to Mr. Zhu's tomb, it was more than halfway through August, and the Flowers of Fanchuan in Chang'an were like brocade, and tourists were weaving, but the General's cemetery was cold and deserted. The stone stele at the entrance was erected in 2014 and is said to have been overgrown and deserted before.
The tombstone reads "Tomb of Mr. Zhu Ziqiao, a martyr of the Xinhai Revolution", and I think the words on the stele really do not reflect the whole picture of Mr. Zhu Ziqiao.
Zhu Ziqiao, name Qinglan, Ziqiao, a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang, was born in Changqing County, Shandong Province. He was an appendage of the former Qing Dynasty, who served as an official in Fengtian at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and was quite capable, and later transferred to the Fengtian Governor's Training Office patrol police general bureau, which was appreciated by Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces at that time. Zhao Shi was transferred to Sichuan, and Zhu Ziqiao was appointed as the Sichuan Patrol Police. In the year of Xinhai, a wave of road protection occurred in Sichuan, Zhao advocated strict suppression, and Zhu Ziqiao tried his best to dissuade him.
In the first year of the Republic of China, Song Xiaolian Zhengziqiao, the governor of Heilongjiang, was appointed chief of staff of the Governor's Office, and later became the acting inspector of Heilongjiang. Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor and made a first-class viscount. Five years later, Yuan Shikai fell ill and died, and Li Yuanhong succeeded him as zhu ziqiao as the governor of Guangdong Province. In July of the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917), he was reinstated as the governor of Guangxi, but he retired to Shanghai. In the eleventh year of the Republic of China, at the invitation of Governor Zhang Zuolin, he served as the commander-in-chief of the Middle East Railway Guard road and the chief executive of the Harbin Special Region. In the fourteenth year of the Republic of China (1925), he was dismissed from his post and left his military and political career and devoted himself to the cause of social relief.
Zhu Ziqiao ruled the army strictly and decisively, and was known as the "Zhu Butcher". Before the age of fifty, he did not believe in Buddhism and even demolished the temple. Later, when he encountered karma, he turned to buddhism and took refuge in the Jing sect's high monk Master Yin Guang.
In 1928, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi, and by 1929, the disaster had reached a maximum of 7 million people, the death toll was as high as 2.5 million, and more than 400,000 people fled the wilderness. The high monk Master Yin Guang raised funds and let Zhu Ziqiao take charge of his affairs.
Zhu Ziqiao, in the name of the president of the North China Charity Association, went from Tianjin to Shaanxi and Gansu to relieve the disaster, issued the slogan of "three yuan to save a life", and carried out large-scale fundraising activities. Not only that, Zhu Ziqiao also personally went to the northeast to collect two trains of relief grain, and personally escorted the car to transport the relief grain to the disaster areas in Shaanxi and Gansu for distribution.
Zhu Ziqiao worked hard and did not dishonor the trust, and was deeply praised by the Master of Yinguang. He "put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the ground", transformed from a general to a "Buddhist general" with bodhichitta, and made great contributions to the development of the troubled country and Buddhism.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhu Ziqiao ran to the rear and continued his charity work. In the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), the Yellow River in Zhengzhou broke through, forming the Huangpan Area, the disaster situation was tragic, Zhu Ziqiao field investigation, decided to set up a Reclamation District in Huanglongshan, Shaanxi, to resettle henan disaster victims, this story has a narrative background in Gao Jianqun's novel "Great Plains".
He consulted with Feng Yuxiang and vacated more than 300 barracks to establish the Xi'an Disaster Children's Correctional Institution. At that time, in Fufeng County, where the disaster was most severe, the bones were exposed, and Zhu Ziqiao took this place as the focus and set up a correctional home to take in thousands of disaster children. In addition, we will set up farms in Fufeng Juliang and Doucun to develop production and let the victims of the disaster get long-term food, clothing, and food.
At the same time, Zhu Ziqiao opened a Buddhist training center at Daxingshan Temple, set out to repair the Great Ci'en Temple, repaired the Iron Pagoda Temple and the Jingyang Great Temple, funded the repair of the Dojo of Daoxuan Lawyer, the Dojo of Kumarosh, and the Dojo of the Bukong Sanzang, repaired the stupa of Tang Xuanzang Sanzang of the Xingjiao Temple, and the pagoda of the Second Master of Peeping Ji and Yuanji, and also added a mao tent to Zhongnan Mountain for the use of cultivators entering the mountain.
During the disaster relief of Zhuziqiao, in the Wolong Temple and The Kaiyuan Temple in Xi'an City, the Tibetan scriptures of the Song Dynasty moraine sand version were found, and after returning to Shanghai, they were ready to be photocopied and circulated. In the twenty-first year of the Republic of China (1932), Master Fan Cheng brought a group of technicians to Xi'an to make forty boxes of Tibetan scriptures into glass plates, transported them to Shanghai, and in the twenty-fourth year (1935) he photocopied and published five hundred copies, which was a major event in the history of modern Buddhism.
Zhuzi Bridge does a lot of things, specifically one thing, and famen temple underground palace, without Zhuzi Bridge, there would be no glory of the current Famen Temple.
In 1937, Famen Temple was desolate, dilapidated, and without incense. Zhuziqiao raised funds to renovate the monastery.
When renovating the base of the pagoda, a stone cave entrance was found, Zhu Ziqiao heard the news and quickly arrived at the scene, the treasure of a thousand years was about to be opened, and the thousands of unique treasures and the relics of the true body of the protector of the country were here, as long as they were opened, it was a shocking discovery.
However, General Zhu Ziqiao made a surprising decision: to seal the underground palace immediately.
In 1938, the Japanese were just outside Tongguan and let these greedy invaders know, what was the consequence of this? Moreover, the domestic political situation is not stable, and in the chaotic world, the fate of these national treasures is difficult to say.
Zhu Ziqiao invited a stone Buddha to live in the underground palace, and the officers and soldiers involved in the maintenance swore a poison oath to the Buddha, and would never reveal the secrets of the underground palace to anyone in this life and this life. And with the help of the gods and ghosts, there are also green snake protectors in the underground palace of the Gate Temple, and they bite people and kill them.
In 1987, the excavation of the underground palace of Famen Temple began, and archaeologists found that the Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty was packed in a tin box, and the right side of the box was vertically engraved "Ziqiao Chairman Relief Disaster Boy Memorial", and the left side was engraved "Wuwei Children's Kindergarten Director Fang Yan led 413 disaster children to pay tribute". At the same time, zhu Ziqiao's handwritten stone print "Vajrapani Prajnaparamita Sutra" was found in five volumes.
Without Zhuzi Bridge, the Tang Dynasty Underground Palace of Famen Temple, the four finger bone relics of Buddha Shakyamuni, and thousands of treasures for the Buddha in the Tang Dynasty, the fate of these national treasures in the chaotic world can be imagined.
In January of the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941), Zhu Ziqiao wrote more than 100 pieces of calligraphy every day for those who were asking for books, accumulated fatigue and illness, knew the fate of heaven and explained the aftermath, and sat in the Xi'an Disaster Children's Correctional Institution. Xi'an people from all walks of life were buried in Dongwei Village, Duqu Township, Chang'an County, Feng Yuxiang wrote an inscription for it, Ye Gongqi wrote an epitaph, and the Nationalist government ordered a flag to be mourned at half-mast. People from all walks of life in Shaanxi sent off and cried along the road.
Feng Yuxiang praised in his elegy: "Zhu Ziqiao, the old general, our Republic of China, a great man, the most incorruptible in his life, wise and courageous, only know the country, do not know the body, public and selfless, far-sighted and deep..."
Speaking of ZhuziQiao now, I don't know how many people know that in less than a hundred years, the white clouds and dogs, only the grass and trees along the Shaoling Ridge are still green.
I walked around the tomb three times and recited Amitabha Buddha.
