Zhaohua, a pearl on the ancient Shu Road, "came out of the window along the mountain tree color, and the sound of the river fell next to the pillow all night." "This is the praise of the ancient poets for this city, it is surrounded by mountains and waters, on the rolling green mountains, there are many old dreams of the Three Kingdoms, and the water of the leisurely river also carries a pot of fishing gossip in it.
This ancient city is closely linked to the culture of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms, is the three kingdoms of heroes, but also the three kingdoms of men, women have little foothold in it, whether it is Erqiao or Sable Cicada, are the foil of the accompanying heroes, they are just in the favorite person Jinge Iron Horse conquest, hot a pot of wine, stroke a piano, a comfort to their fatigue.
Even Sun Shangxiang, who is known for his martial name, is just a sword dance, get a few armored and armed female relatives to line up in the cave room, scare Uncle Liu Huang who returned from the red-robed wedding banquet, and really fight to the death on the battlefield, I am afraid that I will not find her figure, of course, the Meng Yu who was "captured by the seven" in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his wife Zhu Rong may be counted as one, but the novelist's words can be somewhat credible.
In The Quhui Dam in Zhaohua, there is a tomb of the only hero of the Three Kingdoms period, although it is very inconspicuous, but the vigorous gubai and the handwriting on the mottled stone stele seem to tell you a distant story, the story is permeated with the sound of shouting and killing, and the smoke of gunfire, accompanied by war drums, an embroidered driving qi ji, falling goose beautiful lady rushing back and forth to kill, she is the master of this grave, Bao Sanniang.
For a long time, Bao Sanniang was considered to be a fictional character like Hua Mulan or Mu Guiying, because there was no drama and novel as support, only by some drum words and legends, it was very vague, so the reputation was not loud.
However, in an online game called "Three Kingdoms Killing", there is her image, I do not play online games, it is said that her combat strength is something, the score is still very high, I do not understand these mysteries, I will not talk about it.
However, the tomb of Bao Sanniang in Zhaohua is a reality, and in many local records and sporadic records, there are traces of her in later generations, although the snow and mud claws, and the dots and lines are in pieces, a hero of the Three Kingdoms is finally confirmed.
She was Guan Suo's wife, and together with her husband Jun, she held zhaohua city, and when the Cao Wei general Zhong Hui led an army of 150,000 troops to attack Shu, Guan Suo and her tun army refused at the banquet dam 5 kilometers northeast of Zhaohua, and later Guan Suo led his army to fight fiercely with the Wei army at Orange Baidu outside the east gate of Zhaohua, while Bao Sanniang led another army to block the area around Tuji Dam.
Guan Suo is the son of the famous Guan Gong Yunchang, Guan Gong is a Chinese god of war-level figure, is the embodiment of the word "righteousness" in traditional culture, when playing Guan Gong drama, he only needed to pick a curtain to appear, even Cixi Lafayette had to stand up and pay tribute, which shows his lofty status in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Now many people still worship his shrine in their homes, but its function has changed, most of them worship for wealth, and even act as Guanyin or sending children, this Guan Lao ye is also tired, but I don't know that the old man is under the Nine Springs, he knows that he still has such a great skill, whether it is joy or sorrow.
The battle between the Shu and Wei armies was quite fierce, Guan Suo was beaten into the river by the Wei general Pang Hui and drowned due to his wounds, Pang Hui's father was called Pound, that is, when the "Flooded Seventh Army" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he carried the coffin to fight with Guan Yu, and after being captured, he would rather die than beheaded the Wei general, who would pick Guan Suo down the river, which can also be regarded as revenge for killing his father.
Bao Sanniang fought with the Cao army in the Tuji Dam of this campaign, because the enemy was outnumbered, although Bao Sanniang was unusually brave and fierce, and her combat strength was not reduced; however, in the face of the tide of enemy soldiers, it was difficult to resist, and could only be trapped in the lone camp, although Jiang Wei and Liao Hua led the army to the rescue, but failed to succeed, and finally fought in the fierce battle and martyrdom.
The tuji dam in the north of the ancient city of Zhaohua
After her death, her body was transported to Quhuiba on the other side of the river for burial, because this was the place where she practiced soldiers and horses before she died, perhaps when people did not want to see her die in a heroic battle, but in the school yard, she could still remember the heroic posture, so there was the tomb of Bao Sanniang that we see today.
According to the "Sichuan Tongzhi", "Bao Sanniang's tomb is in the north of the county for fifteen miles, south of Quhui Dam, west bank of Baishui, and the giant tomb is lingering. In the past, the tomb door stone was as firm as the shape of a city, and the inner chamber was dark and curved, and no one dared to enter. It is now closed. ”
The current Bao Sanniang Bao looks very lonely and desolate, far less than the tomb of Fei Yi not far away, however, the tomb of Lord Fei has only been rebuilt in recent years, when I went in the eighties, there was only a very small grave on the side of the small road, but the two stone tablets on the side also recorded, this is a big figure in the Three Kingdoms, the scale I think is not as good as today's Bao Sanniang tomb.
However, who let Fei Yi be a person with a history and a legend, with the spring breeze of Guangyuan to create the culture of the Three Kingdoms, the current Fei Daren is entering the room, which is very grand; and this Miss Bao seems to have been forgotten, only an irregular circular mound, but on the broken tombstone, the words "Tomb of Lady Bao, the wife of the Han General Suo", are still faintly recognizable.
It is said that in addition to the main tomb, there are two auxiliary tombs, one called the dresser, buried her clothes and toiletries, and the other called Shi maping, which is buried in her beloved war horse snowflake foal, there is a passage between the three tombs, and the temple was built in front of the tomb, of course, this is just said.
However, from the current data, the scale of Bao Sanniang's tomb is very large, because, judging from the exquisite degree of the remaining tomb murals, it should not be an ordinary tomb; however, the relics in the tomb are now stored in French museums, and we have no chance to see them.
Why is the culture in the tomb collected in France? Because the last time Bao Sanniang's tomb was stolen was a Chinese Frenchman named Xie Gelan during the Republic of China, who carried out a sweeping theft of Bao Sanniang's tomb in the name of archaeology.
Although the tomb of Bao Sanniang had been excavated at that time, this "archaeologist" was more greedy than the tomb robber, and the things of some value in the tomb were almost looted, and only the cultural relics were packed in several boxes, and even Bao Sanniang's bones were taken to France.
April 2-3, 1914, Sichuan Shoka, Three Daughter Cemeteries.
"His tomb has been washed by rainwater, and one of the corners of the tomb has fallen, and this document is also recorded. Then we excavated and saw a cave room, a dome, and the top was built of painted bricks. Breaking down the wall, I saw a large room, five meters long and forty minutes long, and one meter ninety minutes wide. The brick wall of the north wall has collapsed, and we enter the room from the place. The room was empty, there was no trace of a coffin, and a bone was excavated. ”
The tomb robbery was in 1914, when the government ignored these things, and the local people spontaneously came to stop them, "... Excavating ancient Chinese tombs is a difficult and dangerous thing. This time into the Bao's female tomb, has been annoyed with the lips and tongue. On the second day of the investigation, the village chief led his entire village to stop it. ”
However, I do not know what kind of means the French used, returned with a full load, and went away, and in 1924, in the "Catalogue of China's Westward Journey" published in Paris, France, there were three photographs of Bao Sanniang's tomb: one was a photograph of the tomb when the tomb door was excavated, one was a photograph of the money pattern on the wall of the inner chamber of Bao Sanniang's tomb, a photograph of the car and horse portrait bricks, and the other was a sketch photo of the carriage and horse portrait brick; Xie Gelan was very happy with this "archaeology" in the west, saying that "the satisfaction of the results is really beyond this." ”
The scene when the excavation was stolen
The occurrence of such a thing is one of the national shames, but I have a different view of this, the only remnants of Bao Sanniang's tomb, and now we can still see that the cultural relics of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes sold to foreigners by Wang Daoshi are all lying quietly in museums in various countries, welcoming audiences and scholars from all over the world to visit and study, and many cultural relics and scriptures that were coveted by the senior officials of the Qing government at that time have long disappeared.
The Great Wall, which the Chinese people are proud of, does not exist in one hundred, many of the Great Wall bricks have been built into forts and fences by the people along the way, and it has become a pigsty, which is not a national shame, but it is ignorance, and sometimes ignorance is more destructive than robbery, forget it, not much to say, and then it will become a traitor, as for what I want to say? You know.
This Zhaohua, which was soaked with Bao Sanniang's blood, can be regarded as a heroic place, the ancient place name is "Ye Meng", which was a vassal state established by the brother of the King of Shu during the Warring States period, that is, the Tho State now known to the people of Guangyuan, including a vast area south of Hanzhong and north of Cangxi, and Bao Sanniang's battle-dead tuji dam is the capital of the Tho state.
April 2-3, 1914, in the tomb of The Three Daughters, Shoka Sichuan.
According to the "Chronicle of Zhaohua County" in the Daoguang years, "The ancient city of Han Yemeng was in the wuli tuji dam in the north of the zhibei. The old tucheng base site, hence the name". It is inferred from this that from its founding to the present, there have been 2300 years of city history, which is one of the earliest county seats in Chinese history, and the ancient city of Zhaohua has also won the reputation of "the first county of Bashu", but the location has changed.
There is no record of Bao Sanniang's history, and her deeds are mostly found in the "Biography of Huaguan Suo", which says that she was a native of Kuizhou, that is, a native of Fengjie County, Chongqing, and was the younger daughter of Bao Jiazhuang Bao Yuanwai, who learned martial arts from an early age and later married Guan Suo.
It is actually not too accurate to say that it is a wife, because in the legend, in Guan Suo's life, there were 4 women: Bao Sanniang, Wang Yue, Wang Tao and Hua Yu, of which Wang Yue and Wang Tao were still a pair of sister flowers.
Guan Suo seems to have very peach blossom luck, has a good female relationship, can marry Bao Sanniang, and has a legend of "hero saving beauty"; it is said that one day, the young Guan Suo came to the Bao family mountain area in Kuizhou and found the streets chaotic. It turned out that a leader of mountain bandits named Lian Kang took a fancy to Bao Sanniang's beauty and went to the door to ask for affection.
On April 3, 1914, Sichuan Wasa.
Lian Kangli is incomparably powerful and also has martial arts, but he looks very ugly, and Bao Sanniang naturally looks down on him. Lian Kang's courtship failed, so he wanted to rob it. As soon as Guan Suo heard that there was such a thing, he drew his sword to help, killed Lian Kang, and rescued Bao Sanniang. The next thing is very natural, the hero is matched with the beauty, the beauty loves the hero, and the Bao family promised the three girls to Guan Suo.
This incident is recorded in the "Sichuan Tongzhi": "Bao's wife, Guan Suo's wife." Baojiazhuang of Juku Prefecture is extremely brave, and there are honest thieves who ask for it, but they are not allowed. Fight with it, break it. Guan Suo went to the conquest, and the city fell without victory, and the same Fu Han Room Yan."
Of course, there is also a contest to recruit relatives, which is a popular marriage paragraph in the folk, which is often seen in third-rate literary works such as "Dang Kou Zhi" and "Speaking of Tang", and the most famous is naturally "Mu Guiying Competition to Recruit Relatives".
The strange thing is that in the "Biography of Hua GuanSuo", not only Bao Sanniang became relatives in this form, but several women of Guan Suo were obtained in this way, it seems that there are many benefits to being strong in martial arts, but when he says this, you just listen to one ear like this, you don't have to take it too seriously.
After Bao Sanniang became related to Guan Suo, Guan Gong personally taught her martial arts, so Bao Sanniang's martial arts were highly skilled; and after the defeat of the Jingzhou army, she followed Guan Suo back to Shu Han and accompanied Zhuge Liang to conquer Southern Man.
The so-called Southern Man refers to the ethnic minorities living in Yunnan and Guizhou at that time, they were fierce, and they were very dissatisfied with the governance of the Eastern Han Han, and after the establishment of the Shu Han, in order to stabilize the rear, Zhuge Liang personally led the army to the south, which had a series of wonderful things such as the "Seven Captures of Meng" in the Three Kingdoms.
After pacifying Nanman, the husband and wife stayed in Nanzhong and guarded this rear land for the Shu Han regime, and they left many stories of the local population, such as Guan Suo's other lady Hua Yu, who is said to be the daughter of Meng Yue and Lady Zhu Rong, and the deeds of the husband and wife are also widely circulated in the folk, and they are also remembering this bao Sanniang who has never returned, and there is poetry evidence:
The little girl of the Bao family knows the hero, and there is no trace of the chaos with her husband.
Where to go, flower arrangement and wine in the south.
Unfortunately, Bao Sanniang, although this tomb is listed as a provincial cultural relics protection, only the miserable wind and rain from time to time, calling her, only the cuckoo who wept blood in this mountain.
It was early spring, the rape flowers that opened all over the mountains were gratifying, the aunts were dressed in red and green, waving various colored silk scarves, posing with various demon shapes to take pictures, who would remember that not far from them, quietly lay a red makeup beauty who had once galloped on a prancing horse and spilled blood on the battlefield.
If Chen Shou could write a stroke in his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if Luo Guanzhong could write a paragraph in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Bao Sanniang would not be so lonely, and would surely become a well-known hero in the recitation of the Chinese people's households.
Bao Sanniang could not go back, she spilled her blood, turned into a Qifeng on the Shu Dao of the Sword Gate, and together with Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, Jiang Wei, Ma Chao, and many other colleagues from the Three Kingdoms who had come here, she put the wine in the wind, ate the Sword Gate tofu that had been passed down for thousands of years, drank the world-renowned Jiannan Wine, listened to the bitterness of Tang Xuanzong's "Yulin Bells", watched Li Bai and Du Fu pass in front of their eyes, and watched the landing tour head wear a bucket hat, riding the back of the donkey on the sword gate road in the drizzle, and gradually drifting away...
