Scientists believe that the geographical environment and climatic conditions at 30° north latitude are important material factors in the occurrence, development and origin of civilization. 30 degrees north latitude, is the place where human beings on the earth created ancient civilizations, and its mystery is still unspeakable by the people of the earth.
Pengzhou is located in the northwest of the Chengdu Plain in the hinterland of Tianfu, spanning longitudes 103°54' to 104°10' east longitude and is located at latitudes 30°54' to 31°26' N. From north to south, this "golden silkworm-shaped" land of human beings and spirits covers an area of only 1,427.48 (1,427.48) square kilometers.
In the history of Bashu culture and even the development of the Chinese nation, Pengzhou plays a very important role and carries an irreplaceable historical responsibility.
In the spring of 670 AD, Wang Bo, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, who was known as the first of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", wrote of Pengzhou: "The mountains and rivers outside the material are near, and the first scenery of the Qing Dynasty is new." Fangjiao flowers and willows are everywhere, where it is not suitable for spring. "Praise the view. He spent three years here, and he really has a "unique love" and "a great preference" for this place;
In the summer of 759 AD, the "Border Poet" Gao Shi wrote of Pengzhou: "The cliffs are connected to the mountains, and the peaks are stacked with greenery." The sound of birds can be stopped on horseback, and the forest color can be forgotten. ”
In the spring of 1197 AD, the 72-year-old famous poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You, in his hometown of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, wrote a poem entitled "Remembering the Grand Feeling of Peng Peony in Heaven", "Often remember Pengzhou sending peonies, Xiangyun Trail ruler illuminating the golden plate." Do you know that the old farmer Sangye, a demon red dream to see. He expressed his nostalgia for the "foreign land" where he had lived for two years.
Famous poets such as Lu Zhaolin, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Fan Chengda, and Yang Shen all arrived and wrote poems praising this place.
Chinese painting masters Chen Zizhuang and Zhang Daqian regard this place as a second hometown...
Here were the famous astrologer Yan Junping, the Three Kingdoms wizard Zhang Song, and the Qing Dynasty scholar Lü Tianyang...
Here came yin Changheng, the "pioneer of Xinhai", Li Zongfang, a famous anti-Japanese general, Yang Da, zhu De's chief of staff, Yang Youhe, a master of Sichuan opera, and Li Yihao, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation.
"Spring Hope" is excellent here! Birds are singing here! It is the cradle of ancient Shu culture and the mother land of the Kingdom of Tianfu. It is known as "the country of heaven and earth", "the hometown of heroic spirits", "the land of anointing in Shu", "the beautiful corner of the famous district of Western Shu"...
To say that Pengzhou got its name, it is still related to "Peng zu", "Peng Guo" and "Peng Men". The glyph "Peng" was first seen in the oracle bone, one side is like a drum, the drum is above the drum ornament pictogram, and the other side is the shape of the drum spreading, which means the shape of the three people beating the drum, Peng Peng has a sound. "Peng's original meaning must be similar to the drum", not only the sound of the big drum, but also the totem and clan name of the Pengzu clan that invented the big drum in ancient times.
Pengzhou is the earliest county in Sichuan. Since the "Qinzhifan County", it has a history of more than 2300 years. There are eight ancient ethnic groups in southwest Shenzhou, of which the Peng and Shu ethnic groups were all established in Pengzhou.
The Peng people who founded the state here at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty were one of the eight ethnic groups in the southwest, including Yong, Shu, Qiang, Qi, Wei, Lu, Peng, and Pu, who participated in the Wu King's logging as recorded in the Shang Shu Mu Oath.
According to records, Shouyang Mountain in Pengzhou City is the only place for Pengzu to maintain health and beg for life, as evidenced by the existing Ming Dynasty stone stele on the mountain, "ShuFu Rebuilding the Danjing Mountain Temple and Supplementing the Monument of Merit". The inscription says: "Wushu Danjing Famous Mountain, thirty miles north of Peng County, connected to the Min'e well network, is a giant town in the southwest, the bell of Lingxiu, and Mo is better than this." At the top is the Pantuo Stone, known as the Township Terrace, on the left is Tianchi, on the right is the Ring Samadhi, and the face is Pingfeng Shouyang Mountain, which is the place where Peng Qishou is. ”
Shouyang Mountain is the birthplace of Pengzu's health care, where Pengzu asked the Heavenly Emperor for a place of longevity and established a place of health, achieving the purpose and highest realm of longevity. Peng Guo was established here, and at the same time, a unique "Pengzu culture" was also created, that is, "health culture".
"Silkworm bushes and fish, the founding of the country is at a loss". The Xiangjiang River is the mother river of Pengzhou, and a river has created the glory of the "ancient Shu civilization". The cultural discoveries of this period have been pushed by historians to 5,000 years ago by historians in recent years.
The reproduction and development of the Shu state in the Huangjiang River Basin went through the silkworm bush, cypress irrigation, Yu Yu, Du Yu and the Enlightened Era, of which the Yu Yu and Du Yu dynasties were the most powerful. Here, there are rich historical elements of ancient Shu culture lurking everywhere. In particular, the "fish culture" is unique and very long-standing.
From the pre-Qin to the early Han Dynasty, Pengzhou was the center of primitive religious sacrifices in central Shu. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the founder of Taoism, Zhang Ling, called himself "Heavenly Master", "Daoshu", and "Twenty-Four Rules of Creation" in the sixth year of Emperor Yonghe of Shun (126 AD), and his "First Rule of Yang Pingzhi" was in the Yangping Temple of tongji Town, Pengzhou City. Coupled with Li Yuanzhi and Ge Xuanzhi, The Taoist "Twenty-Four Rules".
Therefore, Pengzhou is also known as the "Taoist Yuandu". In the history of Buddhism, Pengzhou is also known as the "Seven Buddhas Holy Land", where there have been seven senior monks in history: the Jin Dynasty Futu Chengguo Division, the Liang Guozhi Principality Division, the Tang Dynasty Daoyin Guoshi, the Foreknowledge Guoshi, the Wuda Guoshi, the Song Dynasty Yuanwu Guoshi, and the Ming Dynasty Zhi Chinese Division. Jiufeng Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Samadhi Water, Foshan Ancient Temple, Fazang Temple and Longxing Temple have long been famous in the Buddhist world.
In ancient times, the territory was divided by "astronomical geography", and the geography of Pengzhou was characterized by: "Astronomy is divided into wells, and geography is Pengque building its standards." According to the "Pengxian Traffic Chronicle", Tianpengmen was the key to the ancient road of Fanxian (that is, present-day Pengzhou), bordering the capital Chengdu in the south and Songmao in the north through the mountains, due to the dangerous terrain, all of which were military strongholds in the past, and the Tang often mentioned "Pengmen" and "Sword Gate" together.
Speaking of Pengzhou, I have to mention Tianpengmen. Tianpeng Gate is located at the exit north of the pass field in Today's Danjingshan Town, Pengzhou. The town of Danjingshan was called "Guankou" in ancient times. Guankou, also known as "堋口", was established here in the Song Dynasty, and was later changed to Jiulong County.
In 1986, it was changed to Jiulong Town due to the ancient names of Jiulong County and Jiulong County, and later changed to Danjingshan Town. It is 55 kilometers away from Chengdu and 13 kilometers away from the urban area of Pengzhou City, but with the construction of the Chengpeng Expressway and the West Sichuan Tourism Ring Road, the distance between Danjingshan Town and Chengdu and Pengzhou City has been locked within 40 minutes and 20 minutes of the golden drive.
Tianpeng Gate is a landmark of ancient Shu culture, from north to south, from Guannei to Guanwai, on the left is Niuxin Mountain, on the right is Shouyang Mountain, the two mountains face each other, forming a natural "gateway", from northwest to southeast Jing, passing through the door here, vast, straight to the vast plain.
Tianpengmen was once the seat of the prefecture and county, and was once the political center of the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River, and was a sacred place for worship in ancient Shuzhong. The Xiangjiang River, from here, diverted many branches, flowing the ancient Shu civilization to the Sanxingdui and Jinsha in the Chengdu Plain, thus allowing people to hoe out the glory of ancient times. The ancient region carries the mystery of the ancient Shu civilization, and the sacred birds take off from here, deducing the ups and downs of the civilization process.
As the earliest surviving map of Bashu public opinion, the Northern Song Dynasty painter Li Gonglin's "Overview of the Victory of Shuchuan" depicts the important hydrological geographical location of Tianpengmen. The starting point of the scroll is the Tianpengmen area of the Tuojiang River in Chengdu, and then connects the Minjiang, Jialing, and Yangtze Rivers, and ends at Wushan and Wuxi in Chongqing. The entire Bashu landscape is collected in the volume, and it also leaves an endless space for future generations to imagine about the bashu water.
"Six mountains, one water, three dams" can simply summarize the geomorphological characteristics of Pengzhou, which has "mountains, hills and plains" and occupies a geographical advantage. The capital of religion, the hometown of peony, the town of quyi, the town of ceramics, the town of garlic, the town of Sichuan, the town of kites, the valley of leisure, the summer shrine, the health paradise, the flower town of western Sichuan, the natural geological museum... Make us different.
