After settling in Xi'an for three years, I chose Xi'an before, because I felt that there was a strong cultural atmosphere here, and there were many colleges and universities, and it would be easier for children to go to school in the future. I think about the same as my father's generation, I have suffered a lot of hardships and do not want to let the children eat again, when I first took the university entrance examination, I thought that there were many colleges and universities here, which was better than before, so I finally chose Xi'an.
I bought a house in Xi'an, although it is not very good, but I finally have a stable home. Thinking that Xi'an has so many places to travel, it will be fun. However, the reality is that I have not gone out to play at all, so far I have only been to the Tang Furong Garden, the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, if you count the Shaanxi History Museum and the Xi'an Museum, it is still less than ten places. However, every time you take Metro Line 1, you will pass through one station, Sajinqiao Station.
At first, I didn't feel anything, but after a long time, I actually had an idea, this place is called the Golden Bridge, is it a certain year or a certain dynasty that someone once sprinkled gold here. At that time, there was a more ridiculous idea: it wouldn't be a typo, shouldn't it be this "sprinkling"?
"Sprinkle" and "sprinkle" for a while, I myself do not know what is the difference and use of them?
I didn't know the old Xi'an people, and I didn't know if the name Ofanjinqiao had a thought, but I really wanted to know in my heart, so I had to turn to the almighty network.
Before there were words that I did not know, I would go to the Xinhua Dictionary, and now that I don't know something, I will move my fingers and go to the Internet to find the answer.
However, the introduction of the sprinkling gold bridge on the Internet is also very detailed, the sprinkling gold bridge is actually a street, not that there is really a bridge, located in the current Lianhu District of Xi'an, from the north entrance of DamaiShi Street in the south, north to the middle of Lianhu Road, the old Guanmiao Shizi is just south, in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty called Iron Furnace Street, the Ming Dynasty changed to Iron Furnace Mill, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, people with the surname of Sha lived in the north section of this street, named Shajia Bridge, and later changed to Sprinkle Gold Bridge.
However, in 1966, it was renamed the middle section of Qianwei Road, and this name did not sound smooth to the golden bridge, and after changing the name for 6 years, it was once again restored to its original name and has been used to this day.
In fact, I don't care much about this information, what I care about most is whether the name of the sprinkling gold bridge is because I have sprinkled gold here, I have always been concerned about gold, gold, gold.
The gold is good, huang Chengcheng, you think about the gold piled up all over the house, how pleasing it is.
Cough!
Far away, I also really saw the shadow of gold in the online information, and the sprinkling of gold bridge did have a record of sprinkling gold, this history occurred in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the most brilliant time in Xi'an.
The Tang Dynasty was a powerful dynasty in ancient China, the historical influence was more far-reaching, the national strength was strong and the nations came to the dynasty, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was known as the Heavenly Khan, representing a lofty status. Although Tang Taizong is known as a generation of Ming Emperors, it is said that the tang dynasty was at its strongest, and it was during the reign of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
The love story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei is also respected, cough, what love story, off-topic, let's study history, say what love, and I don't like women, cough, this section can be pinched off.
In the early days of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, as evidenced by a poem: "Recalling the heyday of the kaiyuan in the past, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families." Rice is white, and public and private warehouses are abundant", which shows that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous at that time, not only economic prosperity, but also political and military peaks, recreating the scene of all countries coming to the dynasty.
It is said that during the new century, foreign envoys such as Japan and the Eastern Roman Empire came to pay their respects and brought many gifts, including many gold coins. As a big country, Tang Xuanzong naturally could not fall behind, so Tang Xuanzong ordered a feast for the princes and nobles at the palace near guangyun gate, and asked the wen and wu officials to starve on the bridge under the castle tower.
Tang Xuanzong's operation made the hundred officials unable to understand it, saying that they had come to let us eat and drink, but they did not give us food to eat, what are you doing, and soon Tang Xuanzong appeared on the city wall, what was he doing? He was throwing gold coins (Kaiyuan Tongbao, that is, copper coins, Kaiyuan Tongbao was minted by Tang Gaozu) pieces of gold coins spilled down from the city gate and scattered on the bridge. The civil and military officials on the bridge immediately rushed to make a group regardless of their identities, because this was a veritable "bonus"!
If the sprinkling gold bridge is because of the sprinkling of gold, then this is the closest, perhaps the origin of the sprinkling of gold bridge is not because of sprinkling gold and other reasons, but I believe that many people hear the name of the sprinkling of gold bridge, the first thought is to sprinkle gold here, right?
After all, in a historical city like Xi'an, place names are likely to represent special meanings or have historical provenance.
In fact, there are many theories or versions of the origin of the name of the Sprinkling Gold Bridge, such as the Shangjin Bridge in the Tang Dynasty called Daqiao Street, the Bridge Street leads directly to the Jinshui Bridge on the moat in front of the Guangyun Gate, this street is the only way for tribute to enter the palace, that is, it is a golden road to the Tang Dynasty court warehouse.
Some people also say that there are three brothers surnamed Li living here in the Song Dynasty Sprinkle Gold Bridge, and one evening when the three brothers crossed the bridge from today's Sprinkle Gold Bridge, there was a large stone on the bridge, blocking the way, and the three brothers moved the stone away, only to see the stone shake a little, and even rolled all the way to their doorstep.
The next day, they got up to see what kind of stone was here, and whether it was gold, so the road in front of the three brothers' house was called the Golden Bridge. In fact, if you think about it, how is this possible? A big stone can roll all the way to your doorstep and turn into gold the next day.
Of course, this is just a legend, there is no need to be more true, this may be to put a veil on the bridge of sprinkling gold. I even saw that there were many people with the surname Sha living here in the Qing Dynasty, called ShajiaQiao, which was later rumored to be the Shangjin Bridge. Some people say that their ancestors once had a rich man who sprinkled gold here, and sprinkled gold called sprinkling gold bridge, which is also very close to the name of sprinkling gold bridge, a bit like the story of Tang Xuanzong sprinkling gold.
In fact, these are all legends, if it is me, I would rather believe that Tang Xuanzong sprinkled gold here at that time, after all, this matter is recorded in the "Book of Tang Xuanzong Benji", whether true or false, this is a piece of history, with a deep cultural heritage.
If I take the subway again or walk on the street of The Golden Bridge, maybe I will close my eyes and imagine that Tang Xuanzong sprinkled gold at that time, and think about the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
