From December 6 to 12, 2008, the Feng County Party Committee and The County Government of Feng County, Jiangsu Province, the Party Committee and the Government of Songlou Town, organized relevant personnel, under the guidance of experts from the Xuzhou Museum and the Feng County Museum, to conduct a tentative excavation of the ruins of The Imperial City in Geba Caoji Village, located 20 miles southwest of the county seat, and more than 40 pieces of stoneware, pottery, porcelain, metalware and other cultural relics were excavated from only two pits with a depth of less than 3 meters each. According to experts, the more typical ones are: pottery carving totem, pottery witch figurines, "fu" characters and giant green bricks with zodiac patterns, large cylindrical stone mortars planted with flagpoles, large and thick Han portrait stones, and large stone tablets from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is conceivable that under this thick soil, there is such a deep and rich historical and cultural accumulation. As a result, a magical ancient city with a long-standing legend and Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and the sacred land that supported this ancient city will gradually unveil its mystery.
Cultural seminars about the Invitation imperial city
The initial investigation stopped, and the "Briefing on the Excavation of the Site of The Invitation Emperor City in Feng County, Jiangsu Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Briefing") jointly issued by the Xuzhou City Museum and the Feng County Museum said: Through this drilling and test excavation, it has been roughly determined that this site is the site of the Invitation Emperor City and the Temple. The architectural sites excavated this time should be the Invitation Emperor City and the Invitation Emperor Temple rebuilt during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
First, the origin of the Imperial City
According to historical records, in the winter of the twelfth year (195 BC) of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, Liu Bang returned to his hometown after destroying the foreign prince Wang Yingbu. Passing through the land, feasting for several days. Later, he went to Feng County, where he was born. Twenty miles southwest of Fengcheng, the villagers greeted the driver and set up an account to offer wine, and Liu Bang drank freely here. After Liu Bang resigned, the townspeople ordered this place to be "the land of inviting emperors". Later, the "Invitation To the Emperor City" was built, and a temple was set up to worship the Ancestors of the Han Dynasty. Later, a temple was built, and the temple was named "Emperor Invitation Temple".
The excavation unearthed a stone stele from the year of Ding Hai (1647) of the Qing Dynasty, which contains the "Monument to the Restoration of the Imperial City Temple" written by Zhang Fengchen, a Gongsheng of the Ming Dynasty of Fengren. Although the stele is a broken stele, most of the handwriting is still legible. "Ji" Yun (excerpt): "Yi gu has invited the imperial city, fifteen miles southwest of the county, the Gai Han Gao Emperor's business is complete, returned to the father and elder, and the father and elder climb the place also." When the Han Dynasty was in full swing, the Yi people honored them, that is, they built a city on their land and built a temple in the center to worship the high ancestors." This inscription is published in full in the Shunzhi edition of the Fengxian Chronicle. In the "Zhi", there is another focus on the invitation to the emperor city: the invitation to the emperor city, in the southwest of the county twenty miles.
Gao Zu Liu Bang
There is also a semi-severed stele of the fifth year of Qing Yongzheng (1727 AD) excavated at the site of the Invitation Emperor City, which is now in the Feng County Museum. Its visible inscription reads: "Southwest of Feng, fifteen miles away from the county, there is an invitation to the imperial city... Build a city and build a temple to worship the ancestors... The Imperial City Ancestral Temple is the district where Emperor Gao was stationed in Jia'en. ”
All editions of the Fengxian Chronicle of the Qing Dynasty have records of inviting emperors to the city, and their text content is the same as above.
Ming Longqing edition of the Fengxian Zhi (Note: The Zhi is the oldest surviving fengxian local chronicle book found. It is often called the "Ming Edition of the Fengxian Chronicle"). It is recorded earlier that the invitation to the emperor city: "In the southwest of the county rule twenty miles, it is said that Han Gaozu returned to his hometown, and his father and elder invited him to drive here. Now there is an invitation to the Imperial City Temple". In the "Zhi", a detailed description of Gao Zu's return to his hometown is also described: "(Gao Zu) passed through Qifengye and sang with his fathers and sons. And he said: 'The wanderer mourns his hometown.' Long live me, the soul often thinks of this 'generosity, crying for a few lines.' And: 'Abundance, I grow!' Don't forget! 'Naifu Feng Bi Pei'.
The record of Gaozu's return to his hometown is also found in the national history canon
Ma Qian, the first general history of China's first chronicle written by Ma Qian of the Western Han Dynasty Taishi Company, volume VIII of the "Gaozu Benji" says: "(Han Gaozu) returned in October of the twelfth year. Over, stay. Put the wine in the Palace. He summoned the fathers and sons of the deceased to indulge in wine. One hundred and twenty people, the song of teaching. Drunk, Gao Zu struck the building, and for the song and poem, it is said: "The wind rises and the clouds fly, and the Weijia Hainei returns to his hometown." Anderson guards the four directions' (this is the "Song of the Great Wind", which has been recited through the ages and has been recited in the poetry of the crown). Moreover, for more than ten days, Gao Zu wanted to go, and Pei's father and brother gu asked Gao Zu to stay, and Gao Zu said: 'I have many people, and my father and brother cannot give it.' 'Go.' Pei Zhongkong County. All to Yixi, offering, Gao Zufu stayed, Zhang drank for three days. Pei's father and brother all said: 'Pei is fortunate to be restored, but his majesty mourns'. Gao Zu said: 'Abundance, I have grown, and I have never forgotten my ears! Wu Te is against me for his Yong Teeth. 'Brother Pei, please.' It is also a revival, a greater abundance than a blessing. ”
The "Records of History" coincides with the story of "Gaozu's return to his hometown" described in local documents and excavated cultural relics, characters, events, time, places, causes, and processes. However, what does the "Yixi" written in the "Records of History" that "Gao Zufu stayed and stayed, and Zhang drank for three days" refer to? There appears to be ambiguity, which is controversial. Many historians and scholars, wangwen business, interpreted the "Yixi" here as "Pei County West". We think this is wrong. Just think, Gao Zu has been drinking in Pei for more than ten days, and said that "I have many people, and my father and brother can't give" but to Pei. Despite the hospitality of the Pei people, as the emperor, he has spoken out of his word and has left Pei, how can he just reach the west of Pei City and stop to open (set up a tent) to drink for three days?
"Gaozu returns to his hometown", township: hometown, hometown also. The only ones who can be called Liu Bang's hometown are Feng and Pei. But "Pei" can only be counted as Liu Bang's "second hometown" at best. The only real hometown of Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang is Feng County. The opening chapter of the Gaozu Benji clearly states: "Gao Zu, a native of Zhongyangli in Peifengyi." "Couldn't be clearer. Of course, Liu Bang did spend some time in Pei County and got to know a group of confidants. He was the head of the Surabaya Pavilion and served as the Duke of Pei (at the age of 39). Pei County is the place where Liu Bang served and where he made his mark. "Pei" really occupies a very important position in Liu Bang's mind. But after all, Zhongyang water and soil nurtured him and his flesh and blood relatives, the villagers father and elder. In his prime, Liu Bang still studied in his hometown of Feng County. The Chronicle of Han Xin Lu Qilie(陳列傳) says: "The Lu Shu people, the Feng people also, are in the same place as Gao Zu. And Gao Zu and Lu Qizhuang, who have studied books and fall in love with each other. "Takazu Honki": "And Zhuang tried to be an official", "often told to return to the field." The so-called "abundance and abundance" (long) is also nonsense. Zhongyangli in Feng County is the birthplace of Liu Bang, although he is annoyed by Yongya, he will not completely lose his sangzi feelings and homeland. "Abundance, I grew, never forget!" In a word, Liu Bang's heart was exhausted. When Gao Zu returned to his hometown, there was no reason to only stay pei and not to leave feng!
Discuss the big plan with Zhang Liang
Carefully read, the "History of Gao Zu Benji" has truthfully recorded this historical event: "returning" - returning to the hometown; "passing through Pei County", that is, returning to the hometown through Pei County, is not the end of the activity of returning to the hometown. The ultimate destination of "Gaozu's return" is, of course, the "Fengyi Zhongyangli" that he "grew up", so "to (Feng) Yixi, xian, Gaozu fu stay, Zhang drink for three days." "Stay"—Stop. This is the terminal station of "returning home" and the starting point of the next step - "returning to Beijing".
Gao Zu returned to his hometown as an old man (256 BC – 195 BC). Looking back at the past, from a cloth cloth to a three-foot sword, in just a few years, Qin Shuxiang completed the great cause of establishing a dynasty of Han unification, how arduous it was. And now that we are dressed in old age, returning to our hometown and stepping on our homeland, can we not miss our deceased ancestors? Gao Zu once said: "I pay homage to the temple very much" ("History of Feng Zen Book NO. 6"), so Gao Zu returned to his hometown for an important wish - Rongzong to worship the ancestors.
Liu Bang was half a life on horseback, living and dying on the battlefield (with more than ten serious injuries), seizing the world, at present, the brothers who were suffering in the past, the powerful general, and now many of them are against each other, leaving, abandoning, betraying, and rebelling. The courtier rebelled and could not fail to kill. How he wished that these things would not happen, but the reality was already there, some had been killed, and some were still being hunted down. Now it is a lonely shadow, and who guards the great Han Room! The counter-insurgency was wounded by an arrow and was getting worse. "Anderson guards the four directions" is a magnificent song, but also a sad song, a generosity, and a sadness. How complicated is the state of mind on this homecoming road. A song stops, and a few lines of crying. That song, that dance, that wine, that tear... As a son of heaven, how much he wanted to show off his honor to his ancestors, and how much he wanted to pour out his grievances to his ancestors in order to pray for the protection of the ancestors.
Liu Bang was born in Fengzhongyangli, his ancestral home was in Zhongyangli, and the ancestral ancestral temple was in Zhongyangli, and he returned to his hometown in his twilight years to worship his ancestors, how could he not personally visit the ancestral ancestral shrine in his hometown of Feng County? Therefore, it is natural to warn the people of Feng County to welcome (invite) the holy car in Zhongyang. It is an indisputable fact that Gao Zu returned to his hometown, leaving both Pei and Feng, or staying behind Pei first and then stopping Feng. The "Yixi" of the "Three Days of Zhang Drinking" in the "History of Gaozu Benji" is definitely not "PeiyiXi", but "Fengyixi". Feng County in the Han Dynasty was Liu Bang's "Tang MuYi", so Sima Qian used "Fengyi" to refer specifically to Feng County when he wrote the "Records of History". The so-called "Yixi", that is, "southwest of Feng County".
From folklore, to historical records, as well as excavated cultural relics, it has been confirmed that the Invitation Emperor City is real in history, and it is located in the current Geba Grass Collection.
In summary: Gao Zu returned to his hometown and invited the emperor to build a city.
Second, invite the imperial city to change its life
The invitation to the emperor city appeared because Gao Zu returned to his hometown and his father invited the emperor. Prior to this, the deepest relationship with Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang was Zhongyangli, because he was a "Fengyi Zhongyangli person". Where is Zhongyangli, where was Liu Bang born in Feng County? Is there any relationship between Zhongyang Li and Emperor Cheng? What does it have to do? Gao Zu returned to his hometown, did he not go to Zhongyangli? The history books do not explicitly note this. The mystery has yet to be solved.
The Qing Shunzhi edition, the Daoguang edition and the Guangxu edition of the Fengxian Chronicle all have the following records: Tanglin Collection: "Twenty miles southwest of the county (ancient Zhongyangli, now silt). The text in parentheses is an excellent illustration of the "Tanglin Collection". According to this, it can be seen that Guzhongyangli, twenty miles southwest of Fengcheng, is on the bank of Gufeng Xize. At a certain stage of the long river of history, after Zhongyangli was buried, a village and town were rebuilt on the surface of its original site, named TanglinJi. In other words, Tanglin Ji and Guzhongyangli are the same place, but the names are different in different historical periods.
The Ming edition of the Fengxian Chronicle has notes about Tanglin Ji and TanglinPu: "Tanglinpu, seven acres of land, twenty miles southwest of the county." Shop: The official station of ancient times. Tanglin Shop, the official inn located in Tanglinji. It is the only inn in Southwest Fengxi. In ancient times, the Area of Fengxi, with its low-lying terrain, stretching for tens of miles, intermittently, was a large swamp of reeds and algae, known in history as "Fengxize", "Daze", or "Fengxi Algae". On the banks of this FengxiZe, next to the Invitation Emperor City, there was an ancient official road very early on, which was to rush out of fengxi and enter the throat of the Central Plains. From the Spring and Autumn Warring States, down to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even before and after the liberation of the Fengzhong Old Road, as well as the southwest section of fengxian county, which is now newly built, it has been similar and has been followed. When Liu Bang was the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, he was escorted to the service, beheaded by a snake, and sneaked away from The Mang, prayed to the Feng Yu Society, and returned to Beijing through this place. The "Brief Map of Feng County" in the Ming and Qing "Records of Feng County" clearly indicates that the snake ditch and the invitation to the emperor city are adjacent to each other, and are located in the southwest of Fengcheng. It can be seen that Tanglin Ji in ancient Zhongyangli, that is, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, was an important town in southwest Fengxi under the jurisdiction of the government at that time, and a traffic fortress.
The Sixth Book of The Chronicle of Feng Zen: "At the beginning of the han gaozu, praying for the Feng Yu Society, The Pei Gong", "In the second year (205 BC) Ling County was a commune", "After the age of four, the world has been decided, the imperial history, Ling Feng Jing ruled the Yu Society." It is often used at four o'clock in the spring with sheep to worship it. Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Emperor Zhang of Zhang and the First Year (87 AD) in August sent Shi Ancestral Hall Fengfang Yushe." And the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "Fengyou Yu Pavilion, Han Gao beheaded the white snake, and gathered the crowd here." Ming Jiajing's "Chronicle of Xuzhou" "Volume IV Geographically, Mountains and Rivers Feng": "Twenty-five miles southwest of the (old) county rule, there is the Yu Yu Society, that is, the Han Gao Zu Pray Feng Feng Yu She, The Place of Yi Pei. 枌榆, the name of the township, the community in 枌榆". According to this, in ancient Zhongyangli, it belonged to Fangyu Township, Feng County, Surabaya County during the Qin Dynasty, and Fangyu Township, Feng County, Pei County during the Han Dynasty. To be precise, Han Gaozu Liu Bangshi was a native of Zhongyangli Township, Feng County, Pei County.
From this, we think that the present-day Geba Caoji where the Emperor City and its ruins are located is also located twenty miles southwest of Fengcheng, just like TanglinJi and Guzhongyangli, which are exactly twenty miles southwest of Fengcheng. Just imagine, in the vicinity of the Invitation Emperor City twenty miles southwest of Fengcheng, is there another place in this small area that is larger in scale, more prosperous in sight, more important in action, and more influential than the Invitation Imperial City? It can be asserted that Tanglin Ji is a village and town rebuilt on the site of the emperor's city that was destroyed by some kind of disaster in a certain historical period (or the Ming Dynasty, or earlier). The predecessor of Tanglin Ji was The Invitation Imperial City, or in other words, the Invitation Imperial City was once renamed Tanglin Collection. Taking the name of "TangLin", it deeply means "Gantang" - virtue benefits the people and the people feel the holy grace.
The account of the TangLin collection is corroborated by other evidence. There is a recent excavation of the "Stone Stele of rebuilding the White Dragon Temple" in the sixteenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1481 AD), which is now in the original small college of Sunwa Village, Songlou Town, Feng County, Jiangsu Province. The inscription says: "In the second year of The Jin Dynasty (276 AD), a white dragon descended on the southwest of Tanglinji. "Here, the Tanglin set is used as a geographical coordinate, indicating that its status in this region is very prominent, very important, and very famous. The White Dragon Temple was built because of the Arrival of the White Dragon. The site of the White Dragon Temple, where the stone stele of the White Dragon Temple was unearthed, is in the north of present-day Sunwa Village, and its location is southwest of present-day Geba Caoji Village. The two places of present-day Sunwa and Geba Caoji are geographically located from southwest to northeast, and they are only a few miles apart. In ancient times, this area was sparsely populated, and there were no villages in the square mile. This coincides with "the Ancient White Dragon Temple is located in the southwest of the Tanglin Collection", and the present Geba Grass Collection and the Ancient Tanglin Collection are both in the same position twenty miles southwest of Fengcheng, and the present Geba Grass Collection is not exactly the Ancient Tanglin Collection?
Since the Tanglin set is the ancient Zhongyangli, then the invitation to the emperor city is also the ancient Middle Yangli; the invitation to the imperial city is in the present-day Geba grass set, then the ancient Zhongyangli area should be in today's Geba grass collection area.
The Ming edition of the "Records of the Ancestral Temple of Han Gao" in the "Records of Feng County" records that in the fifth year of Ming Jiajing, the huge flood came, the ancient Feng land, not in the Wang Ocean, the yellow mud was scattered. After the catastrophe, Li Chongxin, a native of Huguang Qianjiang, was appointed as the commander of Feng County. At the beginning of his disembarkation, he "looked at the seal, the ruins of Yang Xize in the calendar, inspected the archaeology, and sighed: "Oh! The former emperor raised the cloth, raised the group strategy, and the Qin Dynasty became an emperor in five years, and the emperor was unified for more than four hundred years. Si Zhi Zhi Zhi Also". If a careful reader carefully interprets this passage, it is not difficult to find that this account indicates that Guzhongyangli is not in Gufeng City, but is located on the bank of Fengxize. Zhongyangli on the banks of FengxiZe is the birthplace of Liu Bang, the hometown of Han Gao. The Book also cites the example of the ancestral kings and emperors who used the original place (the original root) as an example of temple worship: "The temple of the emperor is a state-owned ceremony. And Shun yu li, Yu Yu Tu, Tang Yu Bo, Wen Yu Qi, each has a temple, and does not look up to Yu Che with the original place."
The Gaozu Ancestral Temple resided in the Imperial City, and it was also that Li Xianling, out of reverence for Emperor Han Gao, who built the Gaozu Temple in the middle peak of Mount Hua, the commanding height of Feng County (Ming edition of the Feng County Chronicle: "That is, the top of Xiaohua Mountain"). At that time, Fengxize, Zhongyangli, Emperor City, and Gaozu Temple were all offended by floods and buried in the mud.
We can also interpret history by studying ancient poems.
Li Feng of the Tang Dynasty had a poem in "Gao Zu's Former Residence": "A sword Xi Ti and Chu fought, and the storm was dismal for five years." On the day of returning to the world and starting a family, it is like a sad song. "The author, Li Feng, is not a commoner, but a nobleman of the imperial family of the Li Tang Dynasty, and is the fourteenth son of Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Gaozu. He has successively served as the assassin of Yu, Yu and Qingzhou. HanDaifeng County was subordinate to Yu Prefecture, and the prefecture was administered in Bo County, Anhui. Before the reform of the tang dynasty, it was still the old one. Therefore, Li Feng was familiar with Feng County. The word "return" in the poem describes the incident of "Gao Zu's return to his hometown". The poem's "Former Residence of the High Ancestors" is, of course, in the "Place of Return".
In the early Tang Dynasty, Wenjie Xu Mine had a poem "The Temple of the Emperor of The High Emperor": "The soul is determined to shock the iron horse, and the isolated city relics temple read this." The Moon Ming Sword Pei Lai Sanjie, the Distant Emperor Obscure Liuqi. The fox rabbit unblocks the steps of his majesty, and the money is empty to pay the girl's shrine. Booming cars and horses went to the outskirts of the country, hanging gu really tears. What the poet saw before his eyes: "The Temple of the Lonely City" and "The Ancestral Hall of the Female (Ru) Lang". "Fox Rabbit Lifting the Siege and Worshiping" is a true portrayal of the situation in which the Imperial City Gaozu Ancestral Temple was plagued by soldiers and fire, and it has shown a dilapidated situation. "The soul is determined to shock the iron horse gallop" and "the roaring car and horse go to the outskirts of qu", reproducing the Han Emperor Liu Bangjinyi, who has become the son of heaven from the cloth and has just put down the rebellion and triumph, returning to his hometown, the people and soldiers are noisy, the car is hehe, and the front and back are hugged. He stayed in his hometown, left Fengxi, and never returned to the historical scene of Fengxi. "Money and Empty Expenses Girl Ancestral Hall", "Hanging Ancients Can Really Wave Tears", direct lyric poets passed through the Temple of the Imperial City Ancestral Hall, touching the scene in front of them, remembering the past dynasties, hanging the ancient wounds to the present, and sighing!
Liu Bang and Xiao He
Another example is the poem "The Ancestral Residence of Gao Zu" by Zeng Tan during the Ming Yongle Period: "The Qin Emperor lost his deer, and Xianyang was fly ash." Mu Monkey is full of enemies, and the wind and thunder are born. Tang Tang Long Junweng, fighting with swords and artemisia. Heaven is moving all over the world, looking at the crowd. Hanging clothes sit in Guanzhong, the yellow house is high and Cui Ridge. Once you remember the countryside, you will return suddenly. Drinking and singing, how grand is it? "Gale" shakes the elm, and the day shines. Knowing that the heavens were moving, Yan Zuo had suddenly declined. After a thousand years of desolation, the autumn grass is deserted. How long can the stream be? Kunming is dusty. Fluttering clouds, flying away and never returning. So far, in the middle of the sun, pity is mournful. ”
The ancient poems on the top, or the former residence of Yong Gaozu, or the ancestral temple of Yongdi City, all involve the return of Gao Zu to his hometown, and the poems are all about seeing things and cherishing people, that is, jingsheng love. At that time, the "Former Residence of Gao Zu" and the "Imperial City Ancestral Temple" and other scenes in front of the poets were in the place where the activities of the historical figures they cherished were located - the place where Liu Bang returned to feng county.
At that time, the people of Feng County warmly welcomed their former compatriots, and at this time, Liu Bangrong, who had been the emperor of the Han Dynasty, returned to his hometown and feasted on his father and elder, Mu Ze Sangzi (see "History of Gao Zu Benji": to Yixi, Xian, Zhang < set up a tent> drink for three days... Naifu < exempted from taxation and servitude> Fengbipei. The specific location of the historical event in Feng is the "Land of Invitation to the Emperor" located in geba Caoji Village, Songlou Town, twenty miles southwest of the present-day city of Feng County, Jiangsu Province. In the poem, "Gaozu's Former Residence" and "Gaozu Ancestral Temple" are both "the land of inviting emperors". Apparently, this was the birthplace of Emperor Liu Bang of Han Gao.
Qing Guangxu edition of the "Fengxian Chronicle" Volume II construction of the "city pool" description: (Ming) Wanli nineteenth year (1591 AD) Zhixian Fei Sizhen began to wrap with bricks and stones, where the buildings and pheasants and shops are all new, and the old is changed. Yi Qi's four gates, the east is known as "Wanghua", the south is known as "Zhongyang", the west is "Barrier Lan", and the north is known as "Daze". This design concept reflects the geographical relationship between the naming of urban construction and the geographical outlook, landform and geography. If the ancient Zhongyang Li is located in the north or northeast or northwest of the city, Yanneng can be named "Zhongyang" for the south gate. (This alone shows the extraordinary talent and good intentions of Fei Xian Ling: Henkel's hometown, Tangmu Guyi, Tianbaohua, and Earth Spirit Renjie.) Fengcheng four gu, 30 miles southeast, Hualan can overlook; southwest 20 miles, Guli Zhongyang, Hanzu homeland can be looked up; west flood yellow plague, can be royal; Fengbei side Ze domain, can be considerable. < the territory of Gufeng, there were two Dazes in "Fengxi" and "Chengbei". >)
Ming Jiajing's "Xuzhou Zhi" (Ye Jie, who was then the Commander of Feng County, was one of the five cultivators of Benzhi) "Volume IV Geographically, Shan Chuan Feng", clearly records: "Thirty miles west of (Mount Hua) there is Daze, that is, the dream and divine encounter of Han grandmothers"; "There is Zhongyang Li, han zu's former residence is in Yan", "There is also a 'invitation city', then Han Zu Liu Fei returns to Feng, and his father and elder taste here to meet him." It should be noted that "Thirty Miles west of Huashan" is precisely the area around GeBa Caoji Village in Songlou Town, Feng County, that is, the area around the Imperial City. The geographical coordinates of Huashan, which are recorded in the "Zhi", were the nerve center of Feng County at that time- the seat of the county government. The "Chronicle of Xuzhou" also records: "In the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), the river fell to the city, and the county ordered Gao Lu to move with his soldiers to rule the sun of Mount Hua and live in the city. "There is a mountain in the north of the county rule, which is known as Donghua"; "Feng County, in the city, the sun of Huashan." In the five years of Jiajing, the old city was out of water, and Gao Lu of ZhiXian moved to rule the present place." The Ming edition of the Fengxian Chronicle "Volume I - Jianzhi Zhi No. 2 - County Governance": "Jiajing five years of floods washed away the city, Zhixian Gaolu migrated to rule in the sun of Huashan." Thirty-one years (1552) Zhixian Xu Yan restored the old rule. (During the Ming Jiajing period, Feng County ruled Huashan for twenty-six years, and the eighth Ling Yin of the Chinese calendar)
To sum up, Gao Zu returned to his hometown, and the "land of inviting the emperor" of "to Yixi, Xian, Gao Zu fu stayed, and Zhang drank for three days" was exactly the holy land that gave birth to Liu Bang in that year- Pei (County) Fengyi (County) Zhongyangli.
History is ultimately written by those who govern it with integrity. They are unwilling to tamper with the truth against their will, abide by the principle of seeking truth from facts, and solemnly and solemnly collect these original historical fragments and treasure them in historical books.
Ancient Zhongyangli was silted up by the sediment of history. In order to highlight the glory of the hometown of the Han Emperor and express the remembrance and reverence for Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and his birthplace of Zhongyangli, the people of Fengxian County, who are full of love and righteousness, deliberately transplanted or cloned a new Zhongyangli in the ancient Feng City where Liu Bang once lived, and smeared layers of magical colors to make it more and more beautiful and more beautiful. However, the ancient Zhongyangli in the southwest of Fengcheng has gradually disappeared in the historical information of the people of later generations, and the Tanglin Collection has also disappeared silently in the vicissitudes of the years. As an invitation to the imperial city, its good name can always be passed on.
For thousands of years, the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry fields, the passage of time, the exchange of things and people. In the process of circulation and deduction, coupled with the flowers of some people's pens, and even invented at will, some of the original facts have been gradually abandoned, forgotten, and even disappeared, while some bizarre and absurd things have been passed down and become good stories, and they are enshrined as the most precious treasures, such as what "dragon fog", phoenix soil, dragon into the water... All of these are just myths and stories made up by people to beautify and deify the emperor's son of heaven and promote the "divine right of the king", can it be regarded as history?
Mr. Zhao Benfu, a famous contemporary writer, once said: History cannot be repeated. Even if what happened yesterday is narrated by different people today, there will be differences in the way it is said, let alone thousands of years ago. The so-called history is actually just a kind of history and culture. So much for. There are many examples that do not need to be repeated.
According to Kao, one of the "Zhongyang" who moved to Fengcheng was the first to promote the Five Dynasties Later Han Emperor Liu Zhiyuan (暠), (according to Liu Youping's "General History of Chinese Surnames, Liu Shi", Liu Yu was a branch of the Turkic clan in northwestern China- the Shatuo Liu clan. He reigned from 947-948 AD. In order to bring himself a brilliant aura, he claimed to be a descendant of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and founded "Zhongyang Fang" and "Han Temple" in Fengcheng to strengthen his prestige. At this time, it was more than 1200 years after Liu Bang's birth date. "The Chronicle of the Unification of the Ming Dynasty": "In Zhongyangli, in the northeast of the city, there is a fang, and the Han Temple is in Yan." Five generations of Liu Zhiyuan created". In addition, the Ming edition of the "Fengxian Chronicle" records Qin Shao's "Records of the Ancestral Temple of Han Gao": "Fengxian used to have the original temple history, and the cloud was created from the five generations." Moreover, the Qing Guangxu edition of the Fengxian Chronicle records the Compilation of Wang Wenchang of the Feng people of the Song Dynasty: "Gaozu Temple Record" Yun: "Feng has five generations of Han temples, and the Yi people have because of it, so that to the present day."
According to the "History of Gaozu Benji", Liu Bang Jianhan, after the capital Chang'an, "more fate Li Yi Yue Xinfeng". Some people take this as the theoretical basis for "Liu Bang was born in the Yangli of Fengcheng", which is actually nonsense. Just imagine, when Liu Bang had become a repeat offender of the Qin Dynasty and later a sworn enemy of Xiang Yu, could his relatives and relatives still live in the former residence of Zhongyang? Qin perished, the Great Han was established, and the Liu clan was rewarded, and no one remained in the former residence of Zhongyang. In the chaos of the war, Taigong and his family moved from Fengxi Zepan and Zhongyang Old Garden to Fengcheng, which is reasonable. Since ancient times, townspeople have entered the city and abound. Out of filial piety, Liu Bang pleased the Emperor Taishang and made him abandon his homesickness and nostalgia to adapt to his new residence, and then built Xinfeng, according to the final living environment before Taigong left Feng, it was logical to draw a gourd in the same way. Even so, the "place of birth" and the "place of migration" are full of wind and horses. "Jianxinfeng" cannot prove that Liu Bang was born in Fengcheng.
In fact, Liu Bang built Xinfeng, but only under the name of "Xinfeng". It is not based on the Fengcheng at that time, but is based on the ZhongyangLi Society in Fangyu Township, where it was born.
Ming Dynasty Shi Menglin (Yixingren) "Fengyi Ancient and Modern Examination" (Note: "Fengyi Ancient and Modern Examination" is the Ming Dynasty Fengren, Gongshi, former Hanshan teachings, Changzhou fu teaching Ji Chunxu) Yun: "Fengxian Examination, Zhifeng also." ...... Since the Red Emperor held a three-foot slash snake, chased the deer to sweep Qin to extinction, and booed fire. And Feng Sui became tianzi Yu Township, moved his father and son to Chang'an, and called Xinfeng, as it was. Another example is the "Map of the City of Xinfeng County in Han Dynasty (Xinfeng Map)" (Note: This information can be found in the fifth issue of the Fengxian Literature compiled by the Fengxian Travel and Taiwan Fellow Township Association or the annotation compiled by Bai Guanghua, and the "Poets of the Past Dynasties Yongfeng County" Wang Jilin Interpretation: "Han Gao Zu Liu Bang, PeiFeng Yi Zhongyang Liren also." Both the world and the world are in Chang'an... Taishang Imperial Residence Kyoshi, homesick, want to return to the east... Gao Zu was rebuilt to Build Li Yi to Xiang Feng, and moved the old society, and the people of Yi Feng were real. It is called "Xinfeng County" here, which is because its predecessor was originally the seat of Liyi County. Although the name was changed, its county function continued. But it is by no means a replica or imitation of fengxian county. Another example is the "Lintong County Chronicle" quoting Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Water Classics" to record more clearly: "Emperor Han gao Guanzhong, The Taishang Emperor Si Donggui, so like (imitation, simulation) of the old Li, the system of Zi Xinyi, the name 'Xinfeng'".
In summary, "as it was", "Moving the Old Society", and "Xiang Old Li" have all shown that when Xinfeng was first built, it was modeled after the former residence of The Han Emperor Liu Bang and his father and grandfather and the old Li Society. Otherwise, why not say "move the old city", "like the old city", "like the old (Feng) Yi? Not only that, but also adopted the name "Zhongyangli", until the years from Ming Hongwu to Hongzhi, the local administrative division was adjusted, and "Zhongyangli" was merged into "Xiyangli". (See "Lintong County Chronicle"), which shows the deep affection of Liu Bang's homeland of the Han Dynasty - "Feng, I grew up, and I never forgot my ears!" ”
Before the Geba Grass Collection, this place was also called "An Huai Zhai" (meaning: Huai Song Xiande, pray for An Huai). This name can be found in the "Li Clan Genealogy" of Ge Ba Cao Ji Village. The Qing Guangxu edition of the Fengxian Chronicle has a record: "Anhuai Village, eighteen miles southwest of the city, seven levels, Thursday hundred Zhang; east, west and north three gates, Hao Er Dao." In the first year of Tongzhi (1862 AD), the superintendent Li Weicheng advocated cultivation. Inside there is the Temple of the Emperor of Invitation, that is, the place where Pei Father and Elder Pei greeted Emperor Han Gao. ”
As for the establishment of Anhuai Village: from the Qing Dynasty to the Xianfeng Tongzhi period, poverty and disease intersected, defeat and weakness, coupled with floods and locust droughts, year after year; foreign invasions, great powers invaded. Natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, Fengyi is everywhere, the surrounding area, bandits are disturbed. The people were in pain, and they were embarrassed to speak out, and they rushed to build a village for the sake of the turmoil. In just a few years, within the boundaries of the county, the construction of the village, found in the Zhi people, forty-five.
As for when and when he has the place names of "Zhongyang Li" and "Tanglin Collection", and when he yin was renamed "Geba CaoJi" from "An Huai Zhai", the wind and rain spring and autumn have yet to be deeply examined. However, the formation and history of the Invitation Imperial City have been clearly defined, and its origins are generally clear: (ancient) Zhongyangli - Invitation Imperial City - Tanglin Collection - An Huai Zhai - Ge Ba Cao Collection. Evolve all the way, go along with each other. The Invitation Imperial City was like a shining silver thread thread that connected these pearls.
Third, the rise and fall of the Imperial City
Most of the area around the Central Plains is an alluvial plain. Its cause is mainly due to the flooding and siltation of the Yellow River. In old China for thousands of years, the management of the Yellow River was neglected, and many sections of the river became hanging rivers, and the river often flooded and broke the embankment. A large amount of sediment from the Loess Plateau inundated thousands of fertile fields, forming an alluvial plain, known as the Yellow Pan. According to historical records, from the Qiande period of the Northern Song Dynasty alone, that is, around 965 AD to the end of the Qing Dynasty, xufeng suffered as many as 11 major yellow plagues, most of which were devastating disasters. After the catastrophe, it brought about population movement. At that time, whether it was the surviving natives or immigrants, in order to survive and develop, they had to build their own homes. After such repeated reconstructions, it has formed above and below ground, layered buildings. The city is in the city, the village is under the village, and there are many discoveries after the founding of the country. In this each calamity, the Imperial City naturally could not escape the doom. Fortunately, after the disaster, the local government or the benevolent and righteous general led the villagers to repair and rebuild. Therefore, it has also created the special fate of this ancient imperial city that has been repeatedly destroyed and abandoned and built repeatedly. In the third year of Qing Xianfeng (1853 AD), the Yellow River was once again rerouted, and finally buried the imperial city in the yellow mud layer. Since then, the Imperial City has disappeared. The current Geba Caoji is a village built after An HuaiZhai at the ruins of the Imperial City.
However, the people who invited the emperor with great affection were out of love for Emperor Liu Bang of Han Gao and their deep affection for the imperial city. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, in the midst of hardships and hardships, the former Imperial City Gaozu Ancestral Temple was relocated to the west end of the village- the west head of the present-day Geba Caoji Village. A new main hall was built to enshrine The High Ancestor. In the meantime, there are many gurudwara and incense is exuberant. In order to establish the village school, the building was expanded on the temple site for school use. In the years after liberation, the main hall also doubled as a teacher's office, and this area of more than a dozen miles was once named "Inviting Emperor Township" as the administrative area. In the 1960s, many villagers in Geba Caoji still enshrined the Gaozu Tablet in their homes and sacrificed to the gods. During the Cultural Revolution, unfortunately, the rebels "broke the four olds" and were beaten, smashed, and robbed.
For thousands of years, "Gao Zu returned to his hometown, and his father and elder invited the emperor" has become a unique symbol engraved in the annals of history. It has become a beautiful story. The Invitation Imperial City has also become a historical monument.
Fourth, invite the cultural source of the imperial city
According to the "Briefing", the portrait stone excavated by the test originated from the Western Han Dynasty. At first, it was used as a stone for tombs, and later for building materials. It is directly related to the Gaozu Ancestral Temple. The middle of the stone is broken, and the butt is anastomous; the stone is damaged, but the image is recognizable. The technique is indelible, with thick lines outlined. Two paintings, separated by a central axis. Its contents, right: the upper is a house building, the lower is a large tree, two symmetrical trees, and the middle is empty. The picture on the left (which is a broken half picture) is engraved with cars, horses, and figures. One person rides a horse and looks straight ahead. Is there an allegorical symbol of "the supremacy of imperial power"? Is the content of the engraving a story of Liu Bang and ZhongyangLi, Gaozu's return to his hometown, and the invitation to the imperial city? It's intriguing. Of course, this also requires in-depth interpretation by experts. Han portrait stone is like an experienced old man, he can tell people more than 2,000 years of personal experience, witness and hear, about Zhongyang Ancient City, Invited Emperor Ancient City, Han Ancestral Ancestral Temple, Invitation Emperor Ancient Temple and countless other moving stories.
Fengxi Zepan, Guli Zhongyang, is a sacred place of dragons and phoenixes. A long time ago, there were Zhongyang ancestors living here. In the third century BC, there was a family surnamed Liu, in order to avoid war, led by a family named "Renhao", moved east from Daliang, migrated to Gufeng, chose to live in Zhongyang, and lived and multiplied. This "Renhao" was called "Fenggong". (Book of Han and Gao Diji: "The Han Emperor's original lineage, originating from Emperor Tang, descended to Zhou, and was liu in Qin; Feng Gong Gai Taishang Emperor Father". Feng Gongsheng Zhijia (煓煓), Zhijia Shengbo, Zhong, Ji, and Jiao (Liu Jiao was Liu Bang's half-brother), Liu Ji was the third elder's nickname, and the empress was renamed "Liu Bang". Although he is the Supreme Of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he does not forget his ancestors. "And for the Son of Heaven", he "sent envoys to the ancestral hall" and "Ancestral Mansion of Qifeng", (see "Han Old Yi") that is, an ancestral hall was built on the old mansion in Zhongyangli, Fangyu Township, Feng County, to enshrine the ancestral spiritual seat, and personally ordered the priest, Jingwu, to preside over the ancestral affairs. The Book of Han and the Chronicle of Emperor Gao says: "When Emperor Gao ascended the throne and placed ancestral officials, there were Qin, Jin, Liang, and Jing witches." The ancestral temple of heaven and earth, embellished with worship (Feng belongs to Jingchu, so the name Jingwu, also known as "Southern Wu"). "Archaeology believes that if witchcraft is found somewhere, it is 100% certain that the historical figure's place of origin belongs. The initial excavation of the ruins of the Invitation Emperor City unearthed the pottery figurines, which have been witnessed by the fact that the "Daze Zhipi" is the land of the invited emperor on the banks of the (ancient) FengxiZe - the predecessor of the Invitation Emperor City - "Zhongyang Li" is the birthplace of Liu Bang.
After GaoZu's death, Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, posthumously honored Emperor Xian as "Han Taizu" and "Emperor Gao", and issued an edict to the world: "The princes of the county and the state, each set up a temple of Gao Zu, and worshiped at the age of the year!" (Historiography of Takazu Honki). Zhongyang Li's father and son, because of their gratitude to Emperor Gao and his return to his hometown Mu Ze Sangzi, took advantage of this opportunity to build a city in the land of the emperor invited in Zhongyang, known as "Invitation to the Emperor City". The ancestral temple of Liu Bang was surrounded in the city and expanded, and a special altar was set up to worship Gao Zu. Since then, the "Liu Clan Ancestral Hall in Zhongyangli" has been renamed "Invitation To the Imperial City Gaozu Ancestral Temple" - the Royal Shrine. Zhongyangli people live in the city, and neighbors from near and far have moved to the city, guarding the Gaozu Ancestral Temple, worshipping the Han Emperor, praying for protection, recuperating, and reproducing for generations. The Gaozu Ancestral Temple, with its incense and fire, invited the imperial city to become increasingly prosperous and became the center of the southwest of Feng County.

During the Han Dynasty, along with the Silk Road, Indian Buddhism gradually entered the Central Plains, and the propagators of Buddhist ideas entered the imperial city. With the help of the city well and incense, the concept of oral interpretation of pilgrims is transmitted. As time goes on, the number of believers grows. After that, there were monks living in the Gaozu Ancestral Temple, worshipping Gaozu and preaching Buddhism at the same time. In this way, monks and nuns flocked to the temple, and in order to facilitate Buddhist activities, shami believers raised funds and built houses as a base for the living and performing rituals of the nuns, and named it "Invitation Emperor Temple". By virtue of the royal prestige and glory, it became a royal temple. In the long run, the Imperial City Temple, huiguang, has become a spiritual shrine that people yearn for. Attracting more and more believers.
Gaozu Ancestral Temple, ringing bells and chimes, incense candles, pilgrims yingmen; invited emperor temple, twilight drums and morning bells, fireworks are exuberant, jingyin Yuanmiao, monks and nuns gathered. The temple is the temple, and the temple is rejuvenated because of the temple, which reflects each other. Gaozu Ancestral Temple, "Easy Temple Without Dying in the Temple" (Qing Shun Zhi Ban "FengXian Zhi"). For thousands of years, incense has been continuous.
On the west side of the Imperial City, there is a small village called Panzuka Village. According to legend, because there is a pan geng cloth crown tomb here, it is named. Since it had invited the imperial city, it was renamed "Afang Village" (taking the meaning of the adjacent capital of Afang Palace). On the fifteenth day of the first month of 34 AD (the 10th year of the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Jianwu), a zhang family in the village gave birth to a baby boy, called "Zhang Ling" and the character "Fu Han". He was the eighth generation grandson of Zhang Liang, a strategist who assisted Liu Bang in laying down the Jiangshan and was known as one of the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty". Zhang Ling looks strange and heroic, intelligent in nature, knowledgeable and ambitious, and diligent and studious. He has extensively dabbled in astronomy, geography, and the Hundred Schools of The Sons, throughout the ages. He studied Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching from an early age. In his youth, he traveled south to Wuyue to preach Taoism. After becoming an adult, he was held up as a virtuous fangzheng and entered the capital Luoyang Taixue for further study. At the age of 26, he was appointed as the Commander of Jiangzhou (present-day Chongqing). During his term of office, integrity for the people and benefit of one party. After four years in politics, he resigned from the government in anger, escaped into the Dharma, and immersed himself in the Tao. Incognito In the north of Henan (present-day Henan), alchemy Dan Dragon Tiger (Jiangxi), west to Sichuan, all over Bashu, preaching preaching, founded the Chinese national religion, a Taoist religion, Zhang Ling also named himself "Zhang Daoling", was revered as "Ancestral Heavenly Master".
Due to the influence of Zhang Ling, the hometown of Yingdi City naturally became a Taoist base and developed rapidly. Among the cultural relics excavated, the pottery figurines such as wuxiao, dragon pattern tiles, and rabbit-patterned green bricks with taiji diagrams on the chest have all witnessed the prosperity of Taoism in the invitation to the imperial city.
Due to the radiation and gravity of the Imperial City, the Buddhist Path flourished, and the temple view rose. At its peak, there were dozens of Taoist temples within a radius of tens of miles, and some villages had as many as seven or eight. Such as: Xuandi Temple, Yuan Temple, Guandi Temple, Sanguan Temple, Huazu Temple, Taishan Niangniang (Grandma) Temple, Taishan Palace, Tianqi Temple, Tianhe Temple, Baiyi DashiGe, White Dragon Temple, Jixiang Temple, Tongzhong Temple, Xiangling Temple, Fusheng Temple, Miaocheng Temple, Huang (Huang) City Temple, etc., and so on. Most of these temples have temple fairs, which shows the great influence of the Gaozu Ancestral Temple, the Invitation Emperor Temple, and the Temple of the Emperor. The incense is exuberant. Around the Imperial City, these places of worship for Chuni and Daoist priests are like twinkling stars arching to guard the Heavenly Mirror of the Imperial City, like a brilliant pearl embedded in the majestic and magnificent crown of the Imperial City.
The Invitation Emperor Temple, the Temple, and her mother Invitation Emperor City, have gone through thousands of years, rising and falling, and shining brightly. Until after liberation, several golden Buddhas sat in the Buddhist hall and enjoyed the fireworks on earth. During the Cultural Revolution, he was eventually unfortunate and did not know where he was going.
Before Liu Bang returned to his hometown this time, he had already gone on a pilgrimage to Qufu, the Aether Prison Sacrifice Hole, which was unprecedented in the history of the princes of the kingdoms and the Emperor of Tianzi, and was the first of its kind. This founder of the Han Empire still had great respect for Confucius of Confucianism, Imperial Master, and Civil Official Ancestor, especially for the filial piety advocated by Confucianism, "and for the Heavenly Son and the Ancestral Residence of Qifeng", there was a special "JingWu"; "More Jianxinfeng, Le Tai Shang Emperor"; "Prince of Hand Edict (Liu Ying)": Rumi Xiao, Cao, Zhang, Chen Zhugong, I am the same person, the people who are more than the age of Ru, all worship. And the brothers of Ru... The virtues of Henkel's ancestors, reverence for the elderly, and filial piety and respect for the elderly have also influenced and educated his descendants and become a tradition. Successive Emperors of the Liu clan after Emperor Gao of the Western Han Dynasty were preceded by the character "Filial Piety" (孝惠帝, 孝文帝, 孝惠帝, 孝惠帝 Emperor Xiaoping).
The invitation to the imperial city itself is a product of the Confucian concept - the ideas of loyalty to the emperor and the ancestors are infiltrated. It is one of the important birthplaces of Confucianism in the Gufeng area. According to legend, there is a "Invitation to the Emperor Academy" built in the city, and its predecessor may be the original "Zhongyang Academy". Disciples from near and far flocked to the temple to learn the scriptures of Confucianism and promote the style of Confucius and Meng. Zhongyangli is the birthplace of Han Gaozu, and invites the imperial city to be the cradle of Confucianism. Stretching for thousands of years, Junyan has emerged, only the Ming and Qing dynasties, invited the Xu clan of Diaoyutai Village (now Xukou Village, Songlou Town) under the imperial city, and successively produced two prime ministers and five Shangshu, then known as "Shangshu Village". The Xu clan was also known as the "Xu Half Dynasty". The Xu clan took pride in this, specially wrote a joint commemoration, recorded in the family tree, and passed down to this day: "Day, Fang, Jing, An Tianxia, Moon, Peng, And ding Qiankun." According to the "Xu Family Genealogy", the tombs of his ancestors in the Yuanming Dynasty are on the east side of the Invitation Emperor Temple, and the father and elder are still known as "Xu Lin".
Geba Caoji Primary School is the earliest rural school in the southwest region of Feng County. Its peach and plum are all over the world and spread all over the industry.
Liu Jihong, an educator during the Republic of China period, who was the president of the Examination Institute of the National Government and later moved to Taiwan, had his former residence in Liu Wanglou near the Invitation Emperor City, and his ancestral home was in Liu Diwan Village on the west side of the Invitation Emperor City.
General Wang Jingjiu, the former commander of the Kuomintang Corps who graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, was born in Geba Caoji. He spent his childhood in elementary school in his hometown.
At present, the eight children of Zhang Jiashun, a villager in Geba Caoji, seven of whom graduated from college, many of whom have obtained master's degrees, doctoral degrees or professors, senior engineers and other titles, and are praised by the villagers as "Shuxiang Mendi" and "Zhuangyuan Home".
Invite the imperial city, the holy land of Buddhism, the source of Taoism, the confucian vein has a long history, the Confucian immortal wind, passed down for thousands of years, continuously, it is a cultural treasure house integrating Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. In fact, the value of inviting the Imperial City does not stop there? Its cultural connotation is rich and colorful, broad and profound, and can only be continuously discovered through in-depth and meticulous excavation. If this can be done, it will be of immeasurable value to the study of ancient and modern history, geography, politics, economy, military and many other fields of humanities and nature in Fengxian and other vast areas, especially the exploration of Han culture and its origins, which will have extraordinary significance.
According to the "Bulletin", "According to research, before and after the Tang Dynasty, the imperial city was quite prosperous, and through the Song and Yuan dynasties, by the Ming and Qing dynasties, the area had a considerable scale." According to various cultural relics scattered in the area around the ruins of the Invitation Emperor City over the years, the city has a length of several miles. It is conceivable that the scene of the imperial city was invited in that year: residential areas, commercial and trade areas, religious areas, education areas, etc. were well distributed. Inside the city, officers and soldiers were stationed, and the barracks were quiet. On the martial arts field, the lineup is strict, guns and knives are lined up, and people are roaring. Kick foot field, cockfighting, chess and card alley, theater, bookstore... A variety of cultural and entertainment venues are readily available. The three teachings, nine streams, and the seven associations and eight elements inevitably came into being. In the city, merchants gather, shops are lined up, people are surging and bustling. What a bustling place to go.
However, who could have predicted that this thousand-year-old ancient temple of the famous city emperor was ruthlessly devoured by the ferocious Hong Demon in an instant. All that is a thing of the past. What is left for posterity is infinite sighs and imaginations. It is: the long years buried the past, and the mud and sand covered the ancient city.
Reform and opening up have brought about the rejuvenation and prosperity of the Chinese nation, and the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" and the "Eighteenth National Congress" have sounded the loud clarion call for building a culturally powerful country. How we hope that this great opportunity will bring a beautiful opportunity for regeneration to the Imperial City of Invitation- Zhongyangli - the "Source of Han". Either continue to carry out field archaeology, or rebuild it, or scientifically and rationally develop it. This is not only the dream of inviting the people of the imperial village, but also the voice of millions of people in the hometown of Han Gao. We believe that this dream will eventually become a reality.
Beloved Holy Earth Ancient Zhongyang, born Long Yan Xing Han Bang.
The day jin returned to SangZiyi, and the imperial city was forever shining.
