Shanxi Provincial Sports Museum Composition

The long and glorious history and the beautiful and fertile mountains and rivers have created many outstanding talents for Shanxi. The special geographical environment of Shanxi has created special talents, and at the same time it affects the destiny of Shanxi and even the whole country. In the history of Chinese civilization, all kinds of outstanding figures who have emerged in Shanxi are like stars. Legendary people or gods, we often hear people talk about Nuwa mending the sky, Dayu controlling floods, Jingwei filling the sea, Yu Gong moving mountains, Shennong Yandi, Xuanyuan Huangdi, Fuxi, descendants, and Lei known as the "ancestor of silkworms". The magical and wonderful stories of Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, and Zhang Guolao all happened in Shanxi. Among them, Nuwa's refining of stones to mend the sky took place on Fushan Mountain in Shuidong Village, Zhongcun Township, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. People regard Nuwa as the great mother of the Chinese nation, and Fuxi is called the first humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation. At the junction of Gaoping and Changzhi counties in Shanxi, there are "Shennon Ridge", "Baigu Mountain" and other monuments related to Emperor Yan's creations. The Taihang Mountains where Foolish Old Man moved mountains are located in Shanxi. Speaking of Lu Dongbin, the first thing that comes to your mind is "Gou Yao and Lu Dongbin don't know good people." This comes from an interesting story. Lu Dongbin had a friend from the same hometown named Gou Yao. Both her parents died. Lu Dongbin's family was well off, so he took him to him. He called him to his home and asked him to concentrate on studying so that he could get an official position in the future. A guest learned about Gou Yao's family background and saw that he spoke elegantly and behaved dignifiedly and politely. He was willing to give his sister's home to him. , and Gou Yao had long admired the beauty of this girl, so he asked Lu Dongbin to act as a matchmaker. When Lu Dongbin reported the matter to Gou Yao, he was very happy. This was Lu Dongbin's condition for Gou Yao: "The virtuous brother will get married." "You have to let me live with the bride for three days first." Gou Yao suddenly choked and couldn't speak. If he didn't agree, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to marry his beloved wife, so he had no choice but to agree. In order to curse himself for being incompetent and resent Lu Dongbin for his wickedness. On the wedding day, Lu Dongbin made everything right and went into the bridal chamber in a grand manner. Gou Yao could only hide aside and sigh. The bride sat on the edge of the bed with the red sand above her head. No sound was heard in the first class, no sound in the second class, and the third class room It was like no one else here. When the bride lifted the sand several times and took a peek, she saw the groom sitting with his back to him reading. This happened for three nights in a row. I don’t know why, but the bride was so angry that she burst into tears. On the fourth day, after entering the bridal chamber, he apologized to the bride. The bride cried: "You didn't sleep with me for three days. You only read under the lamp. I didn't see you for three days, and I didn't hear a word from you. What you're going to apologize for today is What kind of ceremony? Why don't you divorce me early!" After hearing this, Gou Yao suddenly realized that I had wrongly blamed my brother for Lu Dongbin's care. At that time, he told the bride the cause and effect of the matter. The two of them thanked Lu Dongbin for doing his best to study. With good intentions and good intentions, Gou Yao later studied hard. After a few years, he finally became famous and became an official in another country. A few years later, natural and man-made disasters made it difficult for Lu Dongbin, who had always been wealthy. He said to his wife: "I'm looking for Gou Yao. I'll be back in a few days. Gou Yao will never be ungrateful." When Lu Dongbin found Gou Yao, Gou Yao He was very surprised. Seeing Lu Dongbin's emaciated appearance, he almost didn't dare to recognize him. Gou Yao entertained Lu Dongbin every day. A month passed without mentioning the help. Lu Dongbin saw that he was an ungrateful villain, so he left without saying goodbye and went home alone. . When Lu Dongbin returned home, he didn't see the house. When he asked people about it, they were avoiding him as if he had seen a ghost, which made him confused. When he found out that a new house had been built, he walked in and saw his wife. Xiao Zheng was guarding a coffin and crying loudly. Lu called out to his wife, who was stunned for a long time before saying, "It's really you, you're almost scaring me." It turned out that the coffin was brought the day before. The visitor said that Lu Dongbin fell ill at Gou Yao's place, and that when he was seriously ill, he could not come back from Gou Yao's place for a while. It was Lu who asked them to build a new house. After hearing this, Dong Bin became more and more depressed. It was cloudy and foggy for five miles. When I opened the coffin, I saw gold, silver and jewels shining brightly. There was a note on it saying: "I gave you silver and built a house. Gou Yao's kindness is worthy of his kindness. You asked my wife to guard the empty bed, and I will make your wife cry heartbroken." After seeing this, Lu couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and the word "Yao Lu Dongbin, don't make good people popular." spread around. Among Chinese emperors, there are countless emperors who appeared in Shanxi. For example, Tang Shuyu was from Taiyuan, Shanxi, Jin Wengong, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, was from Quwo, Shanxi, Liu Yuan during the Han Dynasty was from Xinzhou, and Shi Le was from Yushe during the Later Zhao Dynasty. , as well as Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gaoyang Gaohuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty and Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty. The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty was colorful, and Empress Wu Zetian was born in Wenshui County, Shanxi. Today's Wenshui Nanxucun, who entered the palace at the age of fourteen, was far away from her mother and came to a strange world without any strength to rely on. After entering the palace, she was established as a talented person and was given the title "Meiniang". Once, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty asked: "There is a horse "Who can tame a fierce horse?" Wu Zetian came out and said seriously: "Just give me three things. If it can't be beaten with a whip, give it a hammer. If it can't be hammered, give me a knife." These words made Wu Zetian a child at a young age. She said it loudly and resoundingly. She had been Taizong's talented person for 11 years but had not been promoted. Before Emperor Taizong's death, he arranged for her to be a nun in Ganye Temple. As early as when they were in Taizong's harem, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi secretly She had long entrusted herself to the prince who was four years younger than herself. On the second anniversary of Taizong's death, Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to offer incense and met his missing Mei Niang in the Zen room. Emperor Gaozong advised her to be patient. Waiting, we must arrange for her to return to the palace. For Wu Zetian, this opportunity is very important, because after 11 years of living as a talented person, she has not been able to succeed for 13 years. She must and has to change her situation.

Wu Zetian entered the palace for the second time and won the favor of Gaozong. She gave birth to a prince and a princess for Gaozong. In addition, she was good at winning people's hearts and her status continued to improve. However, Wu Zetian's goal was the throne of the queen. Wu Zetian's second child was The daughter was very lovable, and Queen Wang couldn't help but go to have a look and tease her. She knew that the emperor was coming. After the queen left, Wu Zetian saw the opportunity and pinched her biological daughter cruelly, then gently covered her with the quilt, As if nothing was wrong, after a while, the emperor came. Wu Zetian was still laughing, but when she opened the quilt, she saw that the child was already dead. She couldn't help it and burst into tears. The emperor asked about the situation, and the maids on the left and right said: "Just now Huang "Later Kingdom", Gaozong asserted without hesitation: "The queen killed my daughter", so he deposed the queen and made Wu Zetian his queen. Wu Zetian ascended the throne of the queen in this way, and the method seemed a bit cruel, but for the ever-changing palace life, it was either for fish and meat or to be invaded by the storm of political struggle. It happened that Gaozong was in poor health and often had dizziness and headaches, so he asked Wu Zetian to sit behind the curtain and listen to the government, and give Gaozong advice at any time. Wu Zetian's power was as powerful as Gaozong, and they were both called the "Two Saints" at the time. Later, Gao Zong Feeling that the role of the emperor was boring, she simply excused herself from going to court because of her headache, and left all the government affairs to Wu Zetian. She accepted Tang Gaozong's instructions and formulated a strategy to pacify the border areas. The imperial army was powerful. For China's feudal culture, women are just embellishments and foils for male society, and women's politics are even more intolerable to traditional culture. It was in this cultural background that Wu Zetian achieved her breakthrough as the Empress of China. Two months after Tang Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian sent people to kill the prince Li Xian, deposed Zhongzong, and made the fourth son Li Dan the emperor, but he lived in a separate palace and was not allowed to participate in political affairs. He also put down the Yangzhou rebellion. After all, Wu Zetian is a mature politician. On the Double Ninth Festival in 690 AD, the 67-year-old Holy Mother God Emperor Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne and established the Great Zhou Dynasty. She went from being a beautiful lady, talented person, Queen Zhaoyi, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Holy Mother God Emperor to emperor. reached the pinnacle of power. Following the reincarnation footsteps of Chinese history, "If a long time separates, there will be peace, and if there is long peace, there will be division." How many emperors stepped onto the land of Shanxi and ascended the throne of the emperor in Xi'an, Luoyang, and Beijing. Shanxi, the "number one military location" in the world, became the dynasty. The battleground of ups and downs, with the periodic changes of dynasties in China, the northern nomads moved southward, and Shanxi is located at the junction of the ancient Central Plains country and the northern nomads, with frequent wars and continuous wars, which also destined Shanxi's military generals to be brave and famous. The influence of loess culture, the strong winds of Shuobei, and the influence of martial folk customs have created Shanxi generals who are loyal, righteous, wise, and brave, such as: Yu Rang, one of the eleven assassins, General Lian Po of Zhao State, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Qin Dynasty generals of the Han Dynasty. Generals Wang Jian, Huo Guang, Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period, as well as Li Mu, Zhang Liao, Yuchigong in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yelu Jinyeluguang in the Jin Dynasty, Xue Rengui in the Xinjiang period, Yang Ye in the Northern Song Dynasty, Di Qing in Fenyang, and Wang Yan in the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, there were also prime ministers Di Renjie, Lin Xiangru, Pei Du, Xu Jishe, Chen Tingjing, Jiezitui, Yu Chenglong and Yang Shenxiu in the Tang Dynasty. Wei Qing, the first general of the Han Dynasty, was born in Pingyang, Hedong Province and came from a humble background. When he was young, he worked as a shepherd for others. When he grew up, he became a riding slave for the family of Princess Pingyang, the eldest sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Someone gave him a face and said that he had a good fortune and would be a marquis in the future. Later, Wei Qing was granted the title of Marquis due to her brilliant achievements. However, it is not so much that Wei Qing has a good life as it is that Wei Qing dared to risk her life. She went to war with the Huns seven times in her life. Wei Qing's real name was Zheng, and she took her mother's surname. Sister Wei Zifu was a singing girl from the Pingyang Hou family. Once, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Princess Pingyang's house and found that Wei Zifu was extremely beautiful and fell in love with her. Wei Zifu soon entered the palace, became deeply favored by the emperor, and was later named queen. Since Wei Zifu was the queen, Wei Qing entered the palace and became a servant. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally just wanted to please the queen, but unexpectedly he recruited an upright general for the Han Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was implementing his great strategy to counterattack the Xiongnu. The emergence of Wei Qing accelerated the implementation of his great strategy. Wei Qing was ordered to go on expeditions one after another and achieved great victories. The Han Dynasty has never been so proud since the founding of the country. Wei Qing returned to the court in triumph, and all the officials and ministers came to greet him. In recognition of Wei Qing's contribution, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made all five of Wei Qing's sons marquis. However, he declined and said, "The merits of the palace are due to the officers and soldiers, and they should be rewarded." Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. In 123 BC, Huo Qubing, who was only 18 years old, accompanied his uncle Wei Qing to conquer the Xiongnu. Huo Qubing was young and energetic. When she was just 20 years old, she led ten thousand cavalry out of Longxi. After five years of entering the Hu region, she defeated Yanzhi. The mountain goes straight to the foot of Qilian Mountain. Later, Wei Qing became the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The servant of the master suddenly became the husband of the master. Since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing came out of the Han Dynasty, they no longer had to send their own blood relatives to the desert to please the Huns. Today, whenever When we talk about the Han nation with great pride, have we ever thought that our pride started with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The most famous general of all time, Guan Yu, "had his head in Luoyang, his body in Dangyang, Hubei, and his soul returned to his hometown in Shanxi." This famous general from Jiezhou, Hedong, was eager for justice when he was young. He went on the run for killing a local bully who insulted the women of the people. As a result, he worked with Liu Bei and Zhang Feijie in the "Taoyuan Three Brothers". During his lifetime, Guan Yu was only named Han Shouting Hou, which was only a township-level treatment. Later, his reputation rose. Every time the dynasty changed, Guan Yu was promoted one level. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the people of Shanxi bestowed upon Guan Gong the almighty god. The emperor worshiped him because he was the god of heaven and earth. The royal family worshiped him to stabilize the country and ensure the future of the country.

If an official worships him, as long as Guan Gong nods, he will ensure that your official career will be prosperous and your official career will grow bigger and bigger. Businessmen will worship him, and Guan Gong will seal and seal gold. He will not take ill-gotten gains, and his power is incomparable. He can not only cut off injustice. As a disciple, you are guaranteed to be safe and prosperous. Warriors worship him because Guan Gong is "the most extraordinary brave man in China" and "powerful in the world." A sage is knowledgeable about literature, knows the hardships of farming and studying, is generous and kind, has great righteousness, and does not bury his genius in vain. He will ensure that you get an official position and gain wealth. Farmers worship him, because Guan Gong is a god and a dragon in the sky, and he can raise the clouds. Bu Yu also has human experience, knows everything about farmers, understands the farmers' sufferings, and prays for help. Nowadays, interpersonal relationships are becoming increasingly complex, and unpredictable factors are also increasing. Modern people are deeply afraid and anxious about this, and they urgently need to find a stable force to comfort their unstable mood. Guan Gong is a comprehensive symbol of current folk beliefs, which can satisfy To meet the various needs of modern society, before a Thai court opens, all personnel must stand up and swear an oath to Guan Gong to express their loyalty to Guan Gong, and only then can the relevant procedures begin. According to US news media, Nancy, Reagan’s wife, made a special trip to San Francisco to pray to the Guan Gong statue for her husband’s campaign, asking for its divine power to bless her husband’s successful campaign. In Taiwan, which has a population of 20.4 million, there are 8 million Guan Gong believers, and the Guandi Temple There are more than 3,000 Guandi temples, and the real Guandi temple is located in Jiezhou City, Yuncheng, Shanxi. It is the largest Guandi temple in the country and is known as the crown of martial arts temples. How did Wei Chigong, the patron saint of the Chinese people, become a doorkeeper? According to legend, because Li Shimin killed many people in the process of fighting for the country, after he became emperor, he often saw evil ghosts fighting in his dreams, and often screamed in fright. He was very frightened by this. Once, he Report this to the ministers. Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong wore robes and guarded the palace gate at night. Strangely enough, Taizong no longer had nightmares after they guarded the palace gate. But who can guarantee that he will not have nightmares in the future? Taizong ordered a painter to draw portraits of the two of them and hang them on both sides of the palace gate. The portraits had angry eyes and majestic appearance. From then on, the evil worship disappeared, Taizong slept peacefully every night, and the two became door gods from then on. In fact, the reason why the common people regard these two as their patron saints among the tens of thousands of military generals produced in China over the past two thousand years is because of their own interests. The so-called door gods’ main responsibility is to exorcise ghosts, ward off evil spirits, and ensure the safety of the entire household. He has very high requirements. He must not only have a husband who can be the leader of the family, but also be open-minded, upright, and loyal. Not being obsessed with wealth and sex is beyond the reach of ordinary military commanders. In this way, they are well-deserved. Some generals have always been loyal, some brave, some strong, some fierce, and some a combination of all of them. As for a strange man, Xue Rengui, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, was the first. Xue Rengui took the command and led the army directly He rushed to Yunzhou and reported his name to the enemy. The enemy warship was the fierce general Xue Rengui. He immediately dismounted and paid homage to him, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops. This actually scared off the 200,000 Turkic army. If it were not truthfully recorded in the "New Book of Tang", people would have thought it was a legend. When people mention the generals of the Yang family, the first thing people mention is Yang Ye. Enemy soldiers were frightened when they saw the big flag with the word "Yang" and often retreated without fighting. Yang Ye's fighting deeds were such that even a three-year-old urchin from a mountain village could defeat them. As we all know, during the eight years of guarding Yanmen Pass, the Khitan army never dared to invade. Today, there is a huge plaque on the Drum Tower in Dai County with the title "Three Powerful Passes" on the front and "Four Reaching Sounds" on the back. It is a precious relic that has been passed down to this day to commemorate Yang Ye's meritorious service. Di Renjie, a minister of the Tang Dynasty, served as a minor official when he was young, and was later promoted to the highest judge of the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty. He was an upright official. When he was the governor of Runan, Henan, he bravely saved more than 2,000 people who were about to be executed. These people later Instead, he was exiled to the border area. Di Renjie served as governor in Ningzhou and was supported by people, who erected a "monument of virtue and governance" for him. When the group of exiles passed by Ningzhou, the people of Ningzhou came out to express condolences and took them to the Dezheng Monument for three days. They did not know each other, but it was Di Renjie's good governance that connected them. Wu Zetian became the queen's second in command. In 698 AD, Di Renjie was appointed prime minister. In 698 AD, the Turks invaded what is now central Hebei. Wu Zetian immediately sent 450,000 troops and ordered the prince to assume the title of marshal. Di Renjie was the deputy commander and took actual responsibility. The invading army heard that a large army was dispatched, with Di Renjie as the commander-in-chief. Wu Zetian fled north without confrontation. In her later years, Wu Zetian trusted Di Renjie the most. At the palace banquet, Wu Zetian raised a glass to Renjie with her own hands. When they met in the main hall, Wu Zetian always told Renjie not to kneel down. He was old and sick, and he complained many times. Returning to his hometown was not approved. In 700 AD, Di Renjie died of illness. Wu Zetian spoke out in pain, abolished the court for three days, and posthumously named Di Renjie the Duke of Liang. Chen Tingjing was a native of Yangcheng, Jincheng City. He served successively as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, a bachelor of the cabinet, a governor of Zuodu, a minister of the household department, a minister of the official department, a bachelor of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the official secretary of the official department. He was known for his integrity throughout his life. He believed that "If the official is honest, the official will not dare to be corrupt." He proposed that the state, government, and county officials recommended by the governor must first find out whether this person is exploiting the people in the countryside. Therefore, corrupt officials were afraid of him. Chen Tingjing's achievement was that he was ordered by Emperor Kangxi to preside over the compilation of "Kangxi Dictionary" with another official Zhang Yushu, and he made contributions to our country's cultural undertakings. Yang Shenxiu, who was born in Yizhang Village, Wenxi County, was a representative figure of the reformists in the late Qing Dynasty and one of the "Six Monarchs of Wuxu". In April of the 24th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu issued the "Certificate of Ming Dynasty". During the Hundred Days of Reform, he worked for the reformer Chen Baokang. According to the explanation, in August the Empress Dowager Cixi launched a coup and the reform failed. Yang Shenxiu was arrested for her righteousness, but she refused to escape and was imprisoned. In the same year, she was killed in Caishikou, Beijing, at the age of 49, for the crime of "treason and immorality". Among the fellow sufferers were Tan Sitong and six others, known as the "Six Gentlemen of 1898" in history.

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant said: Among all arts, the art of poetry occupies the highest level. China is the country of poetry. As an exploration of life, Chinese poetry can lead people to a world unknown or unfamiliar to Western readers.

In fact, Baijia is a big family. According to legend, their ancestors had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang praised his achievements and named his descendants and descendants. There are also people in the Taiyuan family in Shanxi who have served as Taiyuan prefects, including Bai Juyi's generation. Incense has lasted for 700 years. "Selling Charcoal Urns" written by Bai Juyi, "Pity for the clothes on my body, worried about the cheap charcoal and wishing the weather would be cold" implies a protest against society. As a poet who made great contributions to the development of Chinese poetry, A Marxist poet, he created more than 3,800 poems in his life, ranking first among the poets of the Tang Dynasty. The New Yuefu Movement he founded was even more unique in the poetry world of the Tang Dynasty. His profound and dazzling "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" wrote the story of a generation of romantic and suave poets. Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty enriched and rendered the interesting folk legends about Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei through his rich emotions and imagination, and became a model of narrative poetry that combines realism and romanticism: "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I wish to be a winged bird on earth. Even the branches, forever and ever, will eventually end, and this hatred will last forever." "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" has left a shining pearl for Chinese poetry, and the famous "Pipa Song" "comes out after thousands of calls, Still holding the pipa half-hiding my face, at the same time I have become a human being in the world, why should we be the same when we meet?" has become a rare masterpiece recorded in the history of music. "Don't be sad and hateful. Silence in this life is better than sound." He uses the Pipa girl's tragic experience of living in the Jianghu to express her own resentment and injustice in the frustrated officialdom. According to the record "Japan Guo Jian Zai", the influence of the Tang Dynasty poets on Japan was based on Bai Juyi's fear of crime. , "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and "Pipa Song" were almost household names in Japan during the Tang Dynasty. In addition, most of Bai Juyi's poems were changed into songs. "Song of Everlasting Regret" evolved into "Wutong Rain" and "Palace of Eternal Life", while "Pipa Play" turned into "Qingshanmu". Bai Juyi's "Recalling Jiangnan" reminds people of his achievements as an official and benefiting the people. When the governor of Hangzhou was appointed governor, his servants packed his remaining salary into boxes and prepared to take him away. When Bai Juyi saw it, he said: "Keep it in the treasury so that it can be used to manage the West Lake in the future." Bai Juyi was about to leave, and the people of Hangzhou felt very sad. , they inquired about the day when Bai Juyi would go on the road, and they all carried wine bottles and cakes, waiting for a long time to see him off by the West Lake. After he left Hangzhou, the people there have been affectionately calling him "Bai Sheren". Hangzhou people have always called the original white sand embankment "Baigong Embankment" to commemorate this poet who cared about the suffering of the people.

Although the thief was confused, but in the end He didn't rush in. On the third night, the thief had an idea and shouted at the door: "There's a fire, put out the fire!" He shouted several times, but no one responded, so he boldly entered the door and swept away all his clothes and money. Wang Dadan and his family watched. After the play, on the way home, I saw someone leaving with a backpack. I couldn't help but proudly said to my wife: Maybe it was a thief. I don't know which house was stolen tonight! When they returned home, they were really dumbfounded. They immediately shouted to the sky and the earth that they would never dare to leave again. When Luo Guanzhong heard this, he thought it was funny at first, but then he thought that Sima Yi would not dare to enter the city. , I can gain time to deploy troops, isn’t it the best of both worlds? Later, Luo Guanzhong actually wrote a chapter of "Zhuge Liang Treats Sima Yi's Leg", and he wrote the Empty City Strategy so brilliantly, perhaps it was inspired by this story. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a book called "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" was published, which can be called the largest poetry collection in China. It recorded more than 2,300 poets in the Tang Dynasty, including 758 Tang Dynasty poets whose birthplaces can be verified. Only those from Shanxi There are 82 poets, and among the 48,900 poems, Bai Juyi alone has more than 2,000 poems. Shanxi in the Tang Dynasty can truly be called the "Poetry Jin". Wang Tong, a native of Hejin, Shanxi, was a famous scholar in the late Sui Dynasty and the grandfather of Wang Bo, one of the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty". History books call him a "famous Confucian". He loved reading since he was a child, and he studied very hard and achieved great results. Unexpectedly, he returned to his hometown of Hedong to teach students. At that time, thousands of disciples came to him for advice. Fang Xuanling, the famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng, Li Ji and others were all disciples of Wang Tong. His teachings were At that time, it was widely circulated and famous. For this reason, later generations gave him a very high evaluation. The "Three Character Classic" named Wang Tong as famous as Confucius, Laozi and others. Some ancient books also said that it was precisely because Wang Tong gave Wei Zheng Fang Xuanling and other famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty gave personal lectures and discussions, which finally laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Li and Tang Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. In the early years of Wangtong City, people of different character, after returning to their hometown, repeatedly declined invitations from Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, but refused to become officials. In the Tang Dynasty, they still insisted on only engaging in literature without asking about official career. In 1999, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and others went to the garden to enjoy the flowers and scenery. Suddenly, there was a big bird with wings like wheels and bright feathers. It was not afraid of people and flew leisurely on a small flower branch. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty saw this. Seeing the scene, Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked: "What's the meaning of the big bird flying?" The generals and ministers around him looked at each other, and no one could answer. Afterwards, Fang Xuanling wrote a letter to Wang Tong in his hometown in Shanxi, asking the teacher When he asked for advice, Wang Tong wrote back and said: "This bird is not afraid of people, it symbolizes peace and is an auspicious sign." After Fang Xuanling reported it to Taizong, Taizong thought this explanation was reasonable and asked Fang Xuanling how did you know? Fang Xuanling answered truthfully: "My teacher taught me." So Taizong wanted to see this knowledgeable gentleman. However, when Fang Xuanling passed the emperor's imperial edict to Wang Tong, he could not live to see Taizong. Today, some cultural relics related to the Wangtong family can still be found in Hejin and near Tonghua Village. The village "Tonghua" is named after Wangtong. Legend has it that there was a group of thieves behind Wangtong Temple. After looting Wang Tong's tomb, they wanted to cover up their scandal. There were rumors everywhere that "there was nothing in Wang Tong's tomb, not even the corpse and the treasures were all magically ascended to heaven". People believed it to be true, so they spread the rumors that "Wang Tong had transformed and ascended to heaven". From then on, as a kind of pride and pride, this village It was renamed "Tonghua".

The poet Wang Ji was the younger brother of Wang Tong, who participated in the writing of "Book of Sui" and created a healthy trend of poetry in the Tang Dynasty. The largest book series "Sikuquanshu" in Chinese history gave him a strong " The artistic conception is overestimated. The spirit and style are vigorous." Wang Ji became almost the only poet to enjoy this special praise when he emerged from the poetry circle of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Bo, a native of Hejin, Shanxi, known as one of the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty" and a "Young Talent", is the grandson of Wang Tong, a famous Confucian in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty, and the grand-nephew of the poet Wang Ji. He basically spent his childhood in his hometown. Inspired by the inheritance of his ancestral masters, he was already extremely intelligent and talented at a young age. When he was in his 20s, he publicly wrote an immortal "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" that shocked China and has been passed down forever. The two most famous sentences in it are " The setting clouds and solitary swans fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky." Tengwang Pavilion is located on the edge of Ganjiang City in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. It is known as the "Three Famous Towers in Jiangnan" along with Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower. Speaking of Tengwang Pavilion, there is a story. Tengwang Pavilion was originally built by Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, when he was the governor of Nanchang. Later, Yan Boyu became the governor. After renovating Tengwang Pavilion, Governor Yan held a banquet in the pavilion on September 9. , entertained the city's dignitaries and literary talents in order to let him show off his son-in-law Wu Zizhang's talents. Therefore, that night, the governor had asked his son-in-law to write a "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" and memorize it silently, preparing to take it to the banquet the next morning and make a blockbuster impromptu calligraphy. At that time, Wang Bo happened to be visiting relatives in the south and passed by this place. After being invited, he took a boat to Nanchang overnight and attended the banquet hosted by Governor Yan. After rescuing three patrols at the banquet, Governor Yan was polite and asked the guests to compose an impromptu composition on the spot. "Preface", everyone's heart was tempted, so they declined. Only Wang Bo was so high-spirited and unceremonious that he composed a poem on the spot. Wang Bo saw that it was hard to say, and he was particularly annoyed. He ordered his men to monitor him every day. I wrote a sentence in return for him. After listening to the first few sentences, the governor said that they were just clichés, but when he heard: "The setting clouds and solitary swans fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color," he was immediately amazed and turned around. His anger turned into joy, and he exclaimed, "The wonderful sentence is really a genius." As a result, Wang Bo's reputation greatly increased, and "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" became a legend throughout the ages. On the loess land of Shanxi, a group of famous poets surnamed Wang emerged. Their works were continuous and dramatic, which became an interesting phenomenon in the poetry circle of the Tang Dynasty. In "Border Fortress" written by Wang Changling, a poet of the Frontier Fortress School, "The moon is bright in the Qin Dynasty and the moon is close in the Han Dynasty, and the long march of thousands of miles is artificial." But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Huma is not called to cross the Yin Mountain." The meaning is far-reaching and thought-provoking, as the saying goes: the words are endless but the meaning is endless. Three poets, Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan, and Gao Shi, walked through the thin snow to the flag pavilion one day to drink and compose poems. The three of them agreed that the winner would be whoever selected the most songs from the stone tablet singers. There were two female singers, Wang Changling and Gao Shi. They proudly wrote a line on the wall of the flag pavilion. When the third female singer was still singing Wang Changling's quatrains, she was so happy again. A line was drawn on the wall. At this time, Wang Zhihuan was a little anxious. The tunes he had just sung were all low-key tunes. How could they dare to touch the content of Yangchun Baixue? At this point, referring to one of the most beautiful singers, she said: "If it is not my poem when he sings it, I will never compete with you again in this life. But if he sings my poem, then, I'm sorry, but you two have to kneel down in front of my bed and accept me as your teacher." The three people in question laughed loudly, and when it was the turn of the most beautiful singer, she sang "Liang" by Wang Zhihuan. "Zhou Ci", "Far above the Yellow River, among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass." Later, Wang Zhihuan circled the path marked by the two poets, proving that he was the best. This is the story of "Pavilion Painting Walls" recorded in history books.
