In 472 BC, Fan Li built YueCheng, which is now recognized as the history of the founding of Nanjing.
But there are always some folklore, or new archaeological evidence, that tickles our hearts to another possibility of reverie.
The new discovery of the West Street site is likely to push the city of Nanjing forward by 500 years, but the carnival of the archaeological community is not as touching as the legend of the Yue women marrying people.
According to folklore, the Yue daughter married the lord of Jiangnan as a concubine, disliked the lowliness of the land, and brought soil from the land and built a city to live, so it was called "YueCheng".
Whether it can stand up to scrutiny or not, it is obvious that this is not only a daily topic of ordinary people and daughters-in-law, but also a favored by the literati, just a kind of like, double mood.
Huang Tao, a famous literary scholar of the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty and known as the "early ancestor of the Fujian Chinese Zhang", once mentioned in the "Zhejiang Curtain Li Duangong Pan Jianxi":
Yuecheng Wu Guo married a good marriage and befriended the Guests of the Furong Curtain.
Since gu you Shen Huai province traces, you have to accompany qing xianyuan courtiers.
Divide the topic and Lan Zhouyuan, and listen to the moon frequency at night.
More love Yan Pingjin has been, a pair of Excalibur is dragon scales.
Zhou Bangyan, a famous lyricist at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote the lyrics "Yuetai Qu", which told a similar story
Jade face is like a flower Yue Wang daughter, since childhood, she has not sung and danced.
Married as the main concubine of Jiangnan Country, she thought about it every day and returned to tears like rain.
The plums in the north and south of the Jiangnan River are yellow, and the tide rises at night in the Qinhuai River.
The rain on the riverside is damp and wet, and the high platform is swirled to make up.
A thousand ships carrying Yue Middle-earth, I was glad to see that the Yue people were still speaking.
It is difficult for life to step on the countryside, and there is no return to the heart.
The high platform is easy to tilt, and the qu pond is also restored.
As soon as Yue Ji went to Senzai, he did not see that this platform was empty and famous.
From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, where the Spring and Autumn Warring States poets were located, a thousand years of time is enough to saturate a story with infiltration details. A flower-like jade Yue Wang daughter is naturally pampered at home, and once married as a concubine of other countries, homesickness has become the theme of life.
Although it is only a north and south of the river, the waves of the Qinhuai River block the line of sight of Wangxiang. The strength of the mother's family can not be underestimated, ah, the country of the Queen daughter of the Yue, ordered a thousand large ships to be transported to Middle-earth, build a high platform to alleviate the homesickness of the queen daughter.
In particular, the closing sentence "Yue Ji has gone to a thousand years, and I don't see that this platform is famous in the air", leaving an infinite pity, and the famous sentence in history, "The yellow crane is gone, the white clouds are thousands of years long", it seems to be singing and harmonizing in a distant time and space.
Although Yuecheng was built because of Yuenu, there is still only one small Yuecheng city that has left its ruins and fame.
The once delicate and beautiful Yue Wang's daughter has long become an inconspicuous code name and footnote in history, not to mention that there is still a 99% possibility of Yuecheng, which is Fan Li's handwriting.
However, the ending is the same, just like the Tang Dynasty Zhang Li's "Jing Fan Li's Former Residence"
A change of name away from Baiyue, Yuecheng is still in the Fan family.
Others do not see the intention of flat boats, but laugh and lightly cross the five lakes.
It is this four words of "yuecheng is still there", the rise and fall of many soldiers and families must fight for the rise and fall of honor and humiliation and iron-blooded tenderness, just to continue the lifeline of a city.
Yuecheng, born from the military stronghold of the Tun Army, was doomed to a stormy life, and when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, it was finally destroyed. Therefore, when it appears in The Poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties, it is often a tragic character.
Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Jinling Huaigu"
Chao Man Ye Chengzhu, Nichiren ZhengYu Pavilion.
Caizhou new grass green, shogunate old smoke green.
Rise and fall by personnel, mountains and rivers and air terrain.
The backyard flowers a song, and the resentment is unbearable.
This Yecheng, that is, the old yuecheng, the banks of the Qinhuai River, the historical rise and fall are all man-made, and the mountains and rivers and terrain are all wrongly paid.
Ma Zhichun of the Song Dynasty wrote a poem "Ancient Yue City"
In the northwest of fucheng, there is still a relic in the east of the coffin.
The twist is only two miles, and the scale must not be small and the same.
Just enterprising and striving for hegemony, talk about camping to prepare for the enemy to rush.
Old Fan Zhimou had not known, but he was like a Jiankang Palace.
Detached from sorrow and mourning, there is more positivism, but it provokes people to explore the secrets of this small city and the code to solve the city of Nanjing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" > yuecheng, how big is it? </h1>
In the Qing Dynasty Yu Binshuo's "Jinling Langu", Zhongyun: "Out of the Great Bao'en Temple, fuyu Changganli ... From then on, you can go west, three hundred steps, to the Yue King City. There is a platform in the city, and the natives call it Yuetai. ”
According to research, Yuecheng is very small, so small that it is not as large as a residential area today, but the significance of its existence is to push Nanjing to the stage of history, and small has never been a problem.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" > Yuecheng, where is it? </h1>
There are many records in the history books, but the "Zhaoyu Zhi" records that Yuecheng was "in the northwest of the Guomen Bridge in the south of the present-day Waguan Temple"; the Jiankang Shilu records: "The Yue King built the city of Jiangshang Town, and the abandoned Yuecheng City was also a mile south of present-day Huaishui;" The "Jinling Ancient and Modern Tukao" records that Yuecheng was in the Ming Dynasty's "Jubaomen Outer Changganli"...
If you want to visit Ancient China, it is probably outside the Zhonghua Gate, Yuhuatai District, qinhuai riverbank...
Today, on the site of the suspected Yuecheng, a real estate project has risen, named "the construction cost of this case is about 2500 years", Yuecheng Tiandi (initially named "Ying Tianfu") does not know whether to cry or laugh, a real estate project that prides itself on luxury houses, how can He De, can endorse the 2500-year history of Nanjing???
History seals the past, we are always in the present, let the literati Zhou Baoying's poem "Yuecheng"
The Zen temple is buried in the wind and clear monuments, and the west bank of the long dry river wanders a little.
A pile of earth and stones was obsessed with tobacco, and people stepped on the sun to ask for the platform.
Join us in remembering the old shadow of Yuecheng that once rose from the ground and created the great shore of Nanjing!
