Guangxi self-driving tour, there are surprises every day, when we drive in Sanjiang, mainly to visit Dongzhai and understand the culture of Dongxiang, but we did not expect to meet a national key cultural relics protection unit in Heli in the west of the city - the Three Kings Palace.
This building is not only a state-level ancient building, but also related to the ancient Yelang culture, which is said to have been built by the villagers of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and the villagers of Linanzhai to commemorate the three sons of the bamboo king of the ancient Yelang kingdom. Legend has it that the ancient Night Lang King Zhu Duo had three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Zhu Xing, the second son Zhu Wang, the third son Zhu Fa, the eldest daughter Zhu Qinglian, the little girl Zhu AiLian, each of whom was brilliant and intelligent, and both literary and martial arts.
According to legend, in the sixth year of Yuan Ding, Emperor Wu of Han suspected that the Night Lang King had committed treason against the Han Dynasty, and later found out that he had killed him by mistake, so he had a good treatment for his son. The three sons of the Night King, regardless of their previous suspicions, devoted themselves to their wisdom, advocated innovation in the area under their jurisdiction, widely administered benevolent government, and shared the favors of the people, which was deeply supported by Li Shu, and after the death of the three kings, shrines were established in various places one after another, in the style of the father and son of the Zhizhu clan, and this three-king palace was one of them.
Regarding Yelang, everyone is most familiar with the idiom of Yelang arrogance, in fact, Yelang is a country founded by the ancestors of ethnic minorities in China in the southwest region. According to the "Chinese ZhengYu", "Chu Fei took the initiative to start Qipu", in addition, the "History of Justice" contains: "Pu is in southwest Chu".
According to historical records, the establishment of the Yelang state was about the time of the Warring States period, when King Xiang of Chu (298 BC – 262 BC) sent "the general Zhuang Yue (庄潣濟) to sink the water and leave The Lan (present-day Fuquan City, Guizhou) to cut down the Night Lang King", "and Lan Jike, Ye Lang also descended". At this time, people knew that there was a small country of Night Lang in the southwest.
More than 2,000 years have passed, and the historical appearance of the ancient Yelang Kingdom has always been an unsolved mystery. In the minds of many people, it is a mythical country. Only the phrase "Night Lang is arrogant" has made a laugh at the hundred generations, causing the world to have a strong interest in Night Lang, but what we did not expect was that when we traveled in Sanjiang, we encountered a building related to the culture of Night Lang.
Although it is a national key cultural relics protection unit, the Three Kings Palace is not a paid scenic spot, there is only one old man in it, the language is not understood, and I don't know whether it is the staff or the ordinary people who originally lived inside.
Stepping into it, you can see the three kings palace inside the quaint and elegant, antique, it is said that every year on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the temple fair is held, which is the most lively time of the year, but when we came, it was a little deserted inside, except for us, there was no tourist.
The Three Kings Palace is a brick and wood structure of the Mountain, covering an area of about 1200 square meters, with a front and rear building, and a patio in the middle. The front floor is equipped with a Dong opera stage, it is estimated that every festival, the Dong opera will be performed here, and the main hall of the back building is a bungalow with three openings. The overall layout is a pattern in which the ancient Han court style is integrated with the Dong architecture. The building of the house is exquisitely crafted, and the eaves are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the colors are bright.
The building we see now was rebuilt by the Qing Dynasty, and in it there is a reconstruction stele erected in the twenty-first year of the Qing Dynasty (1895), which probably reads the contents of an inscription and excerpts a few important words: "Trace me and the Sacred Temple of The Southern Village, the Revered God, the Wei Ling Xianshuo, the Hui translation Qin Shi, the Blessed Lord of The Thousand Autumns, which is admired by the four people." The origin of the three kings of The Examination, the water of Shizhou in the Han Dynasty, should be upheld from time to time. Zhu Jun followed the miracle of Jiang Yan and gave birth to three sons. Jing Zhongshi Han, Feng Ye Lang Hou. After the death of the Holy Spirit Yu Ming, The Junmeng Emperor was crowned as the Three Kings, with the Bamboo Jun and the blood food of The Same Xin'e, and the town of Qianyue and Ze were born. ”
