Xin Was a literary and martial all-rounder during the Southern Song Dynasty who "went up to the horse to kill thieves and wrote poems under the pen". He once camped in Changsha to train troops, and the name "Yingpan Road" came from this. On Yingpan West Road stood a statue of him, and Xin Zhiyi, dressed in a cloak and with a sword hanging from his waist, held the reins in one hand and a roll in the other, frowning and pondering, as if he was thinking of Jinan, the hometown of the enemy thousands of miles away, planning to go north and recover his homeland; and as if he was conceiving a new word, expressing the depression and sorrow in his chest. The background of the statue is a picture of the anti-Jin war and Xin Zhiyi's famous poem "Breaking the Line, Giving Chen Tongfu a Strong Language to Send": "Drunkenly picking up the lamp and looking at the sword, dreaming of blowing back the horn and camp..."
The statue of Xin Abandoned Disease located on the west side of Yingpan Road in Changsha.
The statue, created under the guidance of the sculptor Lei Yijin, has a text inscription underneath: "Xin Abandoned Disease (1140-1207), the character You'an, The Number Jiaxuan, Licheng (present-day Jinan, Shandong), joined the anti-Jin rebel army at the age of 21, and soon led his troops back to the Southern Song Dynasty." Throughout his life, he took the restoration of the Central Plains as his mission, resolutely advocated resisting Jin, and was repeatedly ostracized by the surrender factions in the DPRK and China. During his tenure as a governor of Tan prefecture and a pacification envoy in Hunan, he camped at Feihu Zhai (present-day Yingpan Street, Changsha) and established the Flying Tiger Army." This passage has left a precious historical record for Xin Andi and the ancient city of Changsha. This land is adjacent to The Lake of Shixian, where Wei Yan hunted down and killed Han Xuan during the Three Kingdoms period. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Ma Yin divided Hunan to establish the Ma Chu State, which was the only regime in history centered on Hunan, and Ma Yin was the king who was said to be buried in Mawangdui. Although the Machu state has a total history of only 44 years, we have finally been a capital city in the history of Changsha. This piece of land was originally the barracks of Ma Wang, and Xin Abandoned Disease built a military camp on this site and named it "Flying Tiger Village". In the Ming Dynasty, it was the garrison of the left camp of the jiwangfu's guard, so it was called "Zuoju Street". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the mansion began to be built, and now it is completely unrecognizable, and tourists can only wander in front of the statue of Xin Zhiyi and the Alley of Shixian Lake on the east side to express their nostalgia for the past.
In 1180, at the age of 40, Xin was appointed as the governor of Changsha and Hunan, creating the "Flying Tiger Army". "Juncheng, the xiongzhen side, is the crown of the armies on the river." Nominally to maintain local law and order, in essence, Xin Ren's real plan was to deter the Jin people and prepare forces for the Northern Expedition.
Garden of Leisure.
There is a story: someone in the Privy Council accused Xin of "amassing the people's wealth" by borrowing the Jianfei Tiger Army, and Emperor Gaozong of Song, who listened to rumors, issued a gold medal in front of the imperial court and ordered an immediate suspension of work. Xin abandoned the disease and hid the gold sign, stepped up the construction of the barracks, and completed it within the time limit. On this day, the official in charge of logistics came to report that the construction of the barracks fence with a one-month deadline could not be completed, and he was willing to be punished according to the military law. Xin Asked, "Why can't it be finished?" Now Changsha is the rainy season, the autumn rain is continuous, the kiln workers can not burn the tiles, so it can not be completed. The official answered cautiously. How many watts in total?" Xin asked. "200,000 pieces." "Don't worry," Xin said with a smile, "I'll take care of the tiles." You grasp everything else and do not delay. Xin abandoned the disease and issued an order, asking the residents inside and outside Changsha to send 20 tiles to each family, limited to two days to send to the barracks, and pay 100 yuan for the tile price after delivery. The required tiles were enough in two days (it seems that the population of Changsha was more than 10,000 households at that time). After the military camp was built, Xin abandoned the disease and reported the construction process, barracks drawings, funding sources, and expenditure to the imperial court in detail, false accusations were not self-defeating, and the doubts in Song Gaozong's heart also dissipated. The Flying Tiger Army soon became a prestigious elite division, and the Jin people were very afraid of this team, calling it the "Tiger Army".
During his tenure in Changsha, Xin abandoned his illness and did not disturb the people, opened warehouses to help the people, and built streets, and it is said that many of Changsha's Mashi streets were transformed during his tenure. He was a good official who loved the people and was welcomed by the people of Changsha. He actively offered ideas and suggestions, always waiting for Dan to recover the land, but the Southern Song Court, which was greedy for pleasure in the southern corner of the Southern Anhui River, was timid and small in temperament, and did not dare to trust and adopt the Northern Expedition anti-Jin propositions of Yue Fei, Xin Qiyi, Zhang Jun, and others. From the age of 42, he was cut from his post and lived idly for 20 years. In his later years, he was once relieved of his duties, and finally failed to realize his ambition to restore the Central Plains and died of illness in Jiangxi at the age of 67. Before dying, he shouted, "Kill the thief! ”
Xin abandoned the disease to open a warehouse to help the people.
Xin Was a Southern Song Dynasty poet of the same era as Lu You and Li Qingzhao, and a representative of the famous heroic poetic style in the Chinese poetry world. In his lifetime, he handed down more than 600 poems, of which many are famous.
Xin abandoned the disease as "Xijiang Yue Nocturnal Huangsha Road".
During his tenure in Changsha, Xin wrote two famous poems, one of which was "Touching the Fish": "More can be eliminated, how many times the wind and rain?" Hurried spring is back again. I am afraid that the flowers will bloom early in the spring, not to mention the countless reds. The other is "Nguyen Lang Gui": "... Now haggard endowed with souls, Confucian crowns are more mistaken! Both poems reveal the depressed and emotional feelings of the lyricist's inability to achieve his ideal ambitions.
Xin abandoned the disease as "Breaking the Line, Giving Chen Tongfu a Strong Word to Send".
Xin abandons the disease, loves the country and the people, and has both culture and martial arts, and Changsha is proud of xin abandoning the disease. Hunan is also a land full of heroes: from the "Flying Tiger Army" of Xin Abandoned Disease to the "Zhengan Army" of Xiangxi under the command of Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Wu general in the Ming Dynasty, from the "Five Hundred Xiang Yong" of ge Yunfei who led the anti-British and died on the battlefield in the Opium War to the 300,000 soldiers of the Xiang Army who died on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.
Let us remember Xin Renjie, and we will not forget the heroes of our Hunan history.
