Wu hun

As early as the Neolithic Age more than 5,000 years ago, there were sites of ancient human activities in Taining. From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty, Fujian established the state of Fujian and Vietnam. The first recorded king in Fujian history hunted for thousands of years in Jinniu Mountain in Taining, and built leye county Palace and Gaopingyuan in the county seat. Look at this group of bronze sculptures, which are "archery with bows, BMW cars and followers like clouds". But since he is the king, why did he shoot a wild boar instead of a jackal? In fact, this is an artistic expression. At present, there are a large number of wild boar in Taining. Wild boar is very destructive to crops, so it is not protected for the time being. However, considering that the wild boar will be protected in the future, you see that even this wild boar has not been shot, which is related to the arrow being caught by the wild boar. According to county records, Wu Zhu died in Taining and was buried in Wuzhukeng, west of Taining.

The sage laid the foundation stone.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Fujian and Vietnam, the Fujian and Vietnam People's Congress moved to the north of Huaihe River in batches. Their blood and culture were naturally assimilated by the local Han people, and a clan disappeared from the stage of history. We know that history is created by the people. In this vast mountain forest in northwest Fujian, the historical process was interrupted because there was no human activity. This phenomenon has lasted for more than 1000 years. Of course, in this long Millennium, there are still some prophets. You can see him looking at the distance with a scroll, still exploring and thinking ... Of course, it is precisely because these visionaries are constantly emerging in the long river of history that they have laid a good foundation for the development of Taining.

Meifu alchemy

Taining left the earliest remains, not only the king of Fujian and Yue, but also the belle of the Western Han Dynasty. Mei Fu was born in Shouchun, Jiujiang, Han Dynasty, and Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, so Mei Fu abandoned his family to practice. It is said that Qizhen Rock at the lower pier of Shangqing Stream Scenic Area in Taining is the place where Mei Fu made an alchemy. The name of Shangqing Stream is precisely because Mei Fu practiced Buddhism in Qizhen Rock, so the stream near Qizhen Rock took one of the Taoist "Sanqing", "Shangqing" and "Taiqing".

Zou gongtai

During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Taining was underdeveloped. At that time, it was just a remote town belonging to Jianzhou, called Guihua Town. "There are only one hundred fireworks in the wild, and only one hundred in the fireworks" is just to describe the current situation of Guihua Town at that time. Until 909 AD, Wang was made the queen of Fujian, and Zou Yongfu was appointed as the left servant of Shangshu (Ye) and sent to Dashanling in Taining to guard the border between Fujian and New Zealand. After Zou Yongfu took office, he led the sergeant to repair houses extensively, attracting and resettling a large number of Han people in the Central Plains who fled south because of the mutiny. And introduced the advanced production technology of the Central Plains. Thanks to Zou Yongfu's efforts, people in Guihua Town live and work in peace and contentment, and the population on location is also increasing. By the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, Guihua County was already a large county in Fujian. In order not to forget this pioneer in Taining, later generations regarded Zou Yongfu as "Kai Taigong", the ancestor of Zou Yinglong, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Gang writes books.

Li Gang, a native of Shaowu, Fujian, is also a famous hero against gold. After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang was appointed as the prime minister of Zhao Gou, Song Gaozong. However, only 77 days after he took office, he was dismissed for rejecting the capitulators. He was changed to a single country deputy ambassador Ying Yong and placed in Hainan. Yu Jianyan lived in Danxia Rock in Taining for more than one year, that is, 1 130, and made many poetry lovers. In Danxiayan, he wrote the book Inside and Outside the Book of Changes. A song "Danxia Temple in Ruiguangyan" and "Xiu Luohan Rock Visiting Elder Danxia".

The "Guishan" mentioned here refers to Shi Yang, a Dali scholar in the Song Dynasty. Fujian musicians are Zhu's teachers. At the age of 29, he studied under Henan scholars Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, and brought Luoxue founded by Cheng Hao to Fujian. The famous allusion "Chengmen Sydney" tells the touching story of Shi Yang's successful official career. He once gathered in Taining to give lectures. After the inheritance and development of others, Zhu finally established a complete and profound Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. Shi Yang's side is Shi Yang's inseparable friend-Zou Pei. Zou Pei, whose ancestral home is Taining, has been an official in other places for most of his life, and he and he have forgotten each other.

He was a famous philosopher and educator in Song Dynasty. /kloc-at the age of 0/9, he was admitted to a scholar, but he didn't like being an official and lived a poor life. In his life, he stayed in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan and Anhui for more than three years. I spent the remaining 70 years lecturing in northern Fujian. In his later years, Zhu was recruited into the "pseudo-school" and went to Taining to meet his student Zhao Shiguan on 1 197. Zhao Shiguan was then the magistrate of Taining. The poems of the four seasons in front of me were left by Zhu when he was in Taining. The silhouette of these four seasons poems has been displayed in Shangshudi, a national treasure unit.

The main contribution of his life is to change the county name of his hometown.

Sweet Dew Temple

"Ganlu Rock" is one of the four famous rocks in Taining. It was built by Ye Zuqi to repay his mother's long-cherished wish. It is located in Jinning Jinhu Scenic Area. Because the whole temple was built in a cave with a wide top and a narrow bottom, it is said that Ye Zuqi's mother had been married for many years and had no children, so she came to the small temple dedicated to Guanyin at that time and made a pious wish. He made a wish that if she gave birth to a son, she would come to build the temple. Dreaming at night, the Bodhisattva told her to do more good deeds. Later, Ye Zuqi's mother did a lot of good things. The next year, she gave birth to a son named Ye Zuqi, who is said to be a kuixing. After Ye Zuqi won the top prize in high school, Mu Ye told Ye Zuqi his long-cherished wish, and Ye Zuqi was ready to build the temple. It is said that this temple was built by Zhou Yatou, a famous court craftsman. Because of the steep terrain, Zhou Yatou has been worried about building a temple. One day, he saw a strong man resting on a branch with a big piece of wood. Inspired by this, he built the Manuyan Temple with "one column inserted into the ground without tile". History is created by the working people, who are also the source of our wisdom.

Dingguang Yongquan

The ancient Buddha in Dingguang is a well-known land god in northwest Fujian, and Taining people call it "Nan 'an Gong". County annals record that Nan 'an's public name is from the rock, and the law number is fixed. He is from Nan 'an. Han De (963-968) went to Taining in the Song Dynasty and lived in Baoan Temple in the west of Taining. Legend has it that Nan 'an Gong is very powerful. One day, he saw a child drinking a muddy stream by the stream. He pointed to the ground, and the ground immediately sank into a square pit, and a clear spring emerged from the bottom of the pit. Later, later generations built a well by the pit and named it "Gong Shengjing". Later, Taining people dug wells to commemorate Nan 'an Catholics and prevent the spread of the epidemic. Therefore, a statue was built in Dongmen Shengmiao Lane for generations.

Hearn sinking

Hearn was a juren in the Yuan Dynasty, and the father of He Daomin, the deputy envoy of Huguang patrol, was a man who valued virtue and wealth and was willing to do good. His son, He Daomin, is also the Jie Jun of Taining after top scholars Ye Zuqia and Zou Yinglong. Although he has been an official for forty years and occupies a high position, he is honest and clean. At present, there are still "big head wells" and "pai Lou Xia wells". As the saying goes, "people don't forget to dig wells." To commemorate Hearn, the big head well circle is engraved with the eight characters of "Chongren Sanjing, Houen Gong", which are still clearly visible today. His righteous act will be like the sweet well water in the well, which will always moisten the hearts of future generations.

There is also a legend about Hearn's open caisson. It is said that Hearn has been married for many years and has no children. There are three kinds of unfilial. Hearn was very anxious about it. One night, he had a fairy dream and told him that he had to give Wandan grain to get a son. Hearn woke up very anxious. Hearn remained uncorrupted, not to mention Wan Dan, and Bai Dan could not give food. His wife saw him frowning all day and asked him what was wrong. Hearn told this dream to his wife, who gave Hearn an idea. At that time, all the people in Taining lived by drinking river water. It is rainy in spring and autumn, and the river is very muddy. Why not dig three wells in the city and use water instead of food, so that it is not just white food, but all kinds of food, so Hearn dug three wells in the city with the help of relatives and friends. The following year, my son was born and named He Daomin.

Ling Xiong built a city.

After the establishment of Taining County, the city was not built for a long time, and only a pass was set up in the southeast of the county, which opened and closed in the morning and evening, which was the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty. The peasants in Shaxian county revolted and marched into Taining, and the people were miserable. Thus, in the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, in the year of 1460, the county magistrate Xiong E led the public to build the city. Each Li Jia took 5 years and 7 months to complete, with a total length of 2,363 meters and a wall as high as 3 meters.

Nanshi Fengyun

Here willows lead horses, and beautiful women cross the bridge with umbrellas. A seemingly romantic scene, in fact, the most tragic and tragic period of history in Taining was staged here. In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army captured Beijing and the world changed dynasties.

Three Friends in Winter ―― Pine Trees

After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, a group of intellectuals in Taining refused to accept foreign rule, which was attributed to Shan Ye. They didn't enter villages and cities and didn't work for the new dynasty. Among them, the most famous are: patriotic juror Qiu lives in seclusion in Jinhu Xiaoyan; Li Xiangkui, a juren, lives in seclusion in Lianyan; The zodiac Jinshi lived in the mountains, but the three of them refused to change to work in the Ming Dynasty, and their footprints did not enter the city.

Zhuzhou Ma Yue

Taining has a glorious history of revolutionary struggle. In the second "anti-encirclement and suppression" struggle, the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants opened Taining as one of the 2 1 counties in the Central Soviet Area. From 193 1 to 1933, the Red Army went in and out of Taining, where Zhu De, Peng, Nie and Yang were all in command.
