The four gates of the ancient city of Ming and Qingjun County are all placed with urn circle cities, and the urn circle city has a city gate, each with inscriptions on the forehead, the east is "Yonggan Xu", the west is "Oh Green Bamboo", the south is "Zhongxiaoli", and the north is "Sex Road Township".
Today I will only say this "Yong Gan". Yong, song also, song praise, song meaning, "dry" from the "Book of Poetry • Ganxu", refers to the large banner decorated with the tail of the ox (旌旗).
The conversation should start from the Western Zhou Weiguo. At the beginning of the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the Wu Geng rebellion was put down, the three kingdoms of Shao, Hao, and Wei were returned to Wei. Around 1117 BC, Uncle Kang was enfeoffed with wei, the capital city of Chaoge, and then migrated to Chuqiu (in present-day Huaxian County), Diqiu (in present-day Puyang), and Yewang (in present-day Qinyang), until 209 BC, 907 years after the existence of the kingdom.
The year 660 BC was an important turning point in the history of Weiguo, and it was also the year when the Temple of the Weiguo Sect of Chaoge was destroyed and almost destroyed. At that time, the ruler was Wei Yi Gong Ji Chi, who only knew extravagant and lascivious pleasures all day long, and especially liked to raise cranes, so he even gave them official positions and feng lu, and also opened up many "crane farms" in the territory, and today's "Crane Wall", "Crane Ridge" in Qi County, "Crane Village" in Changyuan and other places are related to Wei Yi Gong Yang Crane. He also liked to collect strange animals such as blind horses and lame donkeys to raise, which was also included in Liu Bowen's book "Yu Ion".
Wei Yi raised cranes to the point of obsession, and he knighted the cranes he raised, squeezed the supplies of soldiers, and traveled with gorgeous cars, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the soldiers and civilians of the Weiguo. One day, Beidi's army suddenly approached The city of Songcheng, the soldiers of the Wei state did not want to fight for Wei Yigong, they asked Wei Yigong to let the crane go to war. Duke Yi of Wei had no choice but to pull a few retinues into battle, and finally because he was outnumbered, Duke Yi was killed and the country of Wei perished.
After the death of Duke Wei Yi, Dai Gong Ji Shen took the throne, and he crossed the Yellow River with less than a thousand remnants of wei and lived in Caoyi in Huaxian County, which was still a government-in-exile. The "Tuguo Chengcao" in the poem is the record of this event. It is a pity that this Wei Dai Gong Ji Shen was suspended after less than a year in power.
Duke Wei Wen (later renamed Ji Fu) took over this stormy country, but fortunately, with the help of Duke Huan of Qi, Wei was able to restore the country. The "History of Wei Kang's Uncle's Family" records that "Dai Gongshen died in the first year. The Duke of Qi Huan led the princes to cut down Zhai and build Chu Qiu for Wei."
What is amazing is that Wei Wengong led less than a thousand remnants, not only rebuilt the Weiguo, but also made the new Weiguo the premier power at that time.
The Book of Poetry and the Dingzhi Fangzhong describes the process of rebuilding the Zongmiao Temple, "Dingzhi Fangzhong was written in the Chu Palace. It was done in the Chu Room. Hazel of trees, chairs of tung lacquer, and chinsel. ”
Wei Wengong restored the etiquette and indoctrination, and worked hard for 25 years to make this newly built Wei state develop to the level of "three thousand lai pins". In the "Left Biography", it is recorded: "Wei Wengong's cloth is clothed with a large cloth, the crown of the great drapery, the training of farmers, the trade and benefit of workers, the respect and persuasion of learning, and the teaching of fang ren ability." Thirty times in the first year, three hundred in the quarter year (the last year, in the later years). ”
Wei Wengong, who was bent on reviving the country, knew the importance of talent, and also knew the many junshi in the land of Junyi, so he sent a huge team to junyi, which was close to Chuqiu, to search for sages and recruit talents, and these officials of the defending country brought good horses and other gifts, and raised the banner of recruiting talents (Ganxu), and recruited good materials in Junyi with solemn etiquette. People at that time recorded this grand scene.
"Shijing Ganxu (mao)"
It's dry, on the outskirts of The Jungle. The silk silk (pi), the good horse four. Why is the son of a?
Yu (孑旟), in the capital of Jun. The silk group, the good horse five. Why give it to the Son of The Other?
The lonely is dry, in the city of Jun. Su Si Zhu Zhi, Good Horse Six Zhi. Why tell the Son of the Other?
[Translation] The flag of the Oxtail flies high, and the people and horses come to the outskirts of Junyi. The bundle of plain silk is clear, and the four good horses are not light. What do you use in return for the faithful Magi?
The eagle-patterned flag flew high, and the people and horses came to the outskirts of Jun. The bundles are stacked well, and the five good horses are well chosen. What do you repay the faithful Magi?
The Toba flag flew high, and the centaurs came to the outskirts of Jun castle. The bundles are piled up well, and there are six good horses. What good way does the faithful Magi have to reciprocate?
It can be seen that the place of Xun County has been a weidi since ancient times, and it is a place where talents gather. Therefore, when later generations built the city of Juncheng, they inscribed the three words "Yonggan" on the forehead of the urn city gate.
