Remembrance of king Kang's tomb (prose)

2010.4.4 Draft 2018.10.21 Finishing

A little guilt about King Kang's tomb stems from the credulity of the old legends in the countryside, and before it was falsely rumored, the thing called "Sunset Kang King's Tomb" was released, which not only made this public case more and more confusing, but also led to every time I recalled it, I could not help but sigh, as if I owed a huge debt to King Song Kang, and I needed to pay it with the broken thoughts outside the dream. And the longer it drags on, the more real the feeling of a fish in the throat like a man on the back.

Out of the village, pacing to the tomb of King Kang, no matter how to plan the path, it is not more than two kilometers, but it is this short two kilometers, thirty years of flowers blossoming and falling, several times lost, the high sealed mound, it has become as far away as the "eight thousand miles of road clouds and moon", let alone what worship and commemoration. So much so that later, I laid out a pen out of thin air and showed off wantonly, not wanting to be suddenly thrown by the car of history.

The tomb of King Kang, in the form of a dialect of his hometown village, is conclusively identified as the remains of Emperor Gaozong Zhao, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, because zhao Shuo's title before he ascended to the throne was "King Kang", and the so-called allusion to the "Mud Horse Crossing Kang King" mentioned earlier, it seems that its original appearance has been "hoped" by everyone and is about to come out. However, Shi Hai hooked Shen, with his understanding of the history of the two Song Dynasties, when he first fabricated (it seems that it can only be regarded as "fabricated"), he still felt that this ancient tomb could only be regarded as the "suspicious" tomb laid down by Emperor Gaozong's "Jingkang Change" when he fled south, or the "clothes" tomb set up after his death, although there was still no lack of far-fetched attachments, but compared with the dragon gate after the tea and dinner of the wild elders, it was much more "cautious". However, ask yourself, where is Shi Zhi! Where is the proof!

The first time I approached the tomb of King Kang was on a sunny winter day. The grass is kneeless, the sky is floating clouds, you may wish to think from afar, the former royal tomb, how solemn and compelling, the momentum is like a rainbow. But as Xin Jiaxuan said, "Throughout the ages, heroes have no place for Sun Zhong." Dance Hall Song Stage, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind", more than 2,300 years of wear and tear changes, this tomb, has been transformed into a non-inferior "dwarf", where there are any pines and cypresses to accompany the grave stone people and horses, even the sealing soil has been cut again and again by the farmers in the village. If an iron tower for navigation was erected on the top of the tomb later, it would have been flattened to the ground, and it would not be a vain remark, and the sky and the earth would be vast. The natural point is to wipe the stele, and the tombstone clearly and plainly understands the seven big characters - the tomb of king Kang of the Warring States of Song, and its whereabouts, "Mengcun Hui Autonomous County Cultural Center", I still remember the shame and uneasiness after reading the inscription at that time. It was night, I couldn't sleep for a long time, I carefully examined the ins and outs of King Song Kang, alone with the green lantern, and the sad ears in my chest.

King Kang of Song, whose real name was Dai Yan, was the thirty-third monarch of the Song Dynasty, and in 329 BC he expelled his brother through a palace coup, and was the monarch of the Song Dynasty. Shi Zai Wang YanTang had a table, "the face has a divine light, the force can bend and stretch the iron hook", and with the small Song Dynasty to open the frontier to expand the border, "East Of Qi, take the five cities." Defeated Chu in the south, expanded the land for more than 300 miles, defeated the Wei army in the west, took ercheng, destroyed Teng (Tengzhou City, Shandong Province), and had its land", established the Hehe Wugong, known as the "Five Thousand Multiplied Song", and in the eleventh year of his reign, he established himself as a king, which was regarded as a heroic overlord with great achievements. Dai Yan's title of king was earlier than that of the Warring States Zhuxiong, and he was still ahead of Qin, Han, Yan, and Zhao, so he was quite jealous at that time, and it was probably for this reason that later generations had inconsistent evaluations of King Kang. The "National Policy" records its shooting heaven and earth, and the "History of the Song Dynasty" books its obscene wine color, and is called "Song Song". What's more, "he also took more women for sexual pleasure, and took dozens of women in one night" ("Chronicles of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty"), saying that he was as absurd as Xia Jie, and the Book of Searching for God records the story of Wang Yan's seizure of the wife of Han Ping, a Qiushe man: Han Ping committed suicide, and Lady Shilu also died, and before he died, he could not ask for a joint burial. Suddenly, on each of the two tombs, a small tree grew, climbing and forming a connection. Wang Yan was furious, and his temperament was even more violent, "dissecting the back of the beggar, and the shin of the gong dynasty" - such a heinous act was simply a violent pursuit, and how could a Xia Jie look forward to his back?

History is always written by the victors, and how many historians can be honest with Gengjie? Although Wang Yan kong wu was powerful and dared to make enemies with the great powers of Qi, Chu, and Wei, after all, he was alone, of course, he could not avoid the final destruction. Fifty-three years after his reign, in 286 BC, the Song dynasty was in civil unrest, Qi raised troops to destroy the Song, and the Song king Yan died in Wenyi (present-day Wen County, Henan Province) in the State of Wei. But the world is like a dream, once the iron horse Jingo, once the wind and thunder stirred, how can it be annihilated for a stroke!

There is a book in Mencius, and Wan Zhang asked: "Song Xiaoguo will carry out the royal government, and Qi and Chu will cut down evil, so what?" Mencius then told him about Tang Wu. He also said that "if he does not practice the king's government, but if he does not practice the king's government, he will look up at it with his head raised, and if he wants to think that he is a king, although Qi and Chu are great, why should they be afraid?" According to Mencius's words, Wang Yan is not only not a tyrant, but can simply be a model for those chaotic kings, compared with before and after, the image of King Song Kang is completely different, is it Mencius who "overturned the case" for him, or was it the posterity who "shoveled gold in the mouths"? The Slovak people have passed away, and there is no way to argue with them, only through the fog of history to peel off the cocoon. Hero yes, owl yeah, the tomb is speechless, basil is everywhere, who is in the long song, where is the dragon! Where is Yu Xi!?

Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. Beauty will eventually be twilight, and heroes will eventually grow old. Wang Yan's death in Wen, or here, has become less important, the wind and rain are destroyed, the heavens and the earth are revolutionary, where under the loess, it is just a bunch of dry bones, but the story around the tomb of King Kang is far from stopping. At the time of the "Cultural Revolution", rumors were everywhere, and privately spread in the villages, burning some paper in front of King Kang's grave, prostrating a number of heads, and taking a handful of paper ashes, which could cure all diseases. As a result, the seekers of the ten miles and eight townships flocked to it, risking being criticized and fighting, "breaking through" the layers of the militia and running to the tomb of King Kang, which was of course just a farce. It is also said that someone went to rob the tomb, and as a result, the tomb door was just opened, a poisonous arrow shot out, and an old tree in front of the grave was shot dead, and the tomb robber lost his soul and went home to lie down for half a year...

It's enough to laugh. It is the late spring, the warbler grass grows, and the tomb of King Kang on the top of the green wheat field looks like a giant ship waiting to sail out to sea. At this moment, the sky, the ancient tombs, the wheat fields, the villages, are all one, and the sparrows that loom are like the stars splashed in the ink painting. Lu Xun's poem said, "The heart is vast and even Guangyu, and I listen to the thunder in the silent place", it turned out that the creation was really intentional, and Zhou Gong also knew me.
