My Bocheng, my hometown prose

I was born in Bocheng and have lived in my hometown for 15 years. This is my hometown.

Later, I went to school, lived and worked in the county for 35 years, and got a comfortable job and a spacious yard in the city. But I always feel that Sibo is not integrated into the circle of people in the city, or even into the suburbs. I am a countryman through and through, and my home is in Bocheng. I'm afraid that the three-eye earthen kiln in the old courtyard will collapse, without a ridge or a row of crops. When I returned to the village, many rural children didn't.

Someone asked me whether Bo was Shang Bo or Xia Bo, and my answer was right or wrong. Don't say I passed out early in the morning. Actually, I'm not dizzy. Bocheng is mine, I am Bocheng, and I am closest to Bocheng, because my earth hole is under the wall of Chengnan City, my residential group is in the middle of the ancient city, the land under my feet is the castle of the past, and the xigou where I am located is the trench of the moat.

Xigou residents' group is away from Xia Bo1000m, Shang Bo1000m and Boqinghe1000m. It can't go up, it can't go down, it's in the middle of things. Dongji trunk line runs through the village, with flat terrain and endless layers.

Before liberation, Xigou was under the jurisdiction of Lu, and the party organization was a branch with the same party. My family name is Shi, and we are kindred. My grandfather and great-grandfather successively served as the Party branch secretary of Xia Bo Village, the famous Yang Taiyue. Even the stone tablet laid in the first year of Xihe was originally in Tangwangping of Xigou team. Later, our Xigou residents' group was placed under the jurisdiction of Shang Bo Village, so you were right to say that we were in Shang Bo and Xia Bo. But when it comes to Du and Bocheng, where are they? It's wrong to go to Bo, and it's wrong to go to Bo. The real Du Bo or Bocheng is in our Xigou. Both should be based on Du Bo and Bocheng. Above Bocheng, it is called Shang Bo, and below Bocheng, it is called Xia Bo.

When I was a child, I lived in spacious vilen. For us, Bo has no secrets and privacy. Who lives in that cave, who is who, who is whose in-laws, who is whose brother-in-law, brother-in-law, nephew, just like our seven aunts and eight aunts, from the village head to the end of the village, there is no one left.

At that time, people were bold and didn't know what culture was, what background was and what imperial city was. They only know that the land under our feet is full of waste bricks and rubble, and there are pieces of pots and pans everywhere. Occasionally, an ancient tomb was dug up on that land, so they went to see this spectacle in droves. Most of our cities are Han tombs. Around 2000, the construction of immigrant villages was once completed. In the past, people were not interested in these blue bricks. People with glances moved a few times first, and then they didn't dare to build a courtyard wall when they went home. They can only build a toilet and a pigsty. Up to now, you can pick some Han bricks more than two feet long at will next to the abandoned pigsty. Write with this Chinese brick inkstone, and the ink between the lines is fragrant.

In the 1970s, he called on Hirata to prepare soil and learn from Dazhai. Our team also organized labor in Shijialing field east of Tangwangping ancient monument.

Leveling the slope near the city wall, I found that there were many bronze arrows on the slope, but none of them were preserved because of serious corrosion. In Guluanping, our team also organized a deep ploughing. The slot was more than two feet thick, and a lot of bricks and rubble were picked up, as well as complete small objects for us to throw away. At that time, there was always a pile of rubble on the lawn, and all the rubbish picked up on the ground was piled on it. As time goes on, there are more and more thorns and hemp chips.

Later, when I grew up, I learned about the ruins of Bocheng, which is said to be the capital of Tang Cheng, especially the stone tablets as material evidence. That stone tablet is in Tangwangping, about 500 meters northwest of our Xigou residents' group. It is the legendary place where Tang Liezu led the people to take the oath. Below the gully weir in the north is Tangwanggou, and above the gully weir is the rammed soil layer of the north wall. Fuzzy and dense, rammed soil layer is thick and thin. It is about 600 meters long from north to south and about 300 meters long from east to west. It crosses the road, and there is a city in the east, reaching the ground.

Looking closely at the source of Bo, it was first seen in the Taiping Universe in the Northern Song Dynasty, which recorded the article "Yuan County" in Bajiangzhou, Hedong Road:

Bo Gu is 0/5 miles northwest of the county. "Shang Shu Tang Patent" "Wang Shu, as for Bo, inform all parties of his birthday", that is.

"Ming Yi Tongzhi" Volume 20 Pingyang House [Monument] "Bo City" from it, saying:

It is fifteen miles northwest of Yuanqu County. According to legend, this soup comes from the summer and reaches Bo, namely.

In other words, the land under my feet is Bo City. There is no doubt about it. As for whether Shang Tang and Bo belong to it, I'm not sure. I just write that it's the legendary Bo.

Qianlong's General Annals of the Unified Qing Dynasty (volume 1 18) Jiangzhou [Historic Site] Bohe quoted the words in Cosmic Tale:

Bo Gu is 0/5 mile northwest of Yuanqu/kloc.

And quote "County Records":

Ring the city 140 step, which is called one mile below. This is not where Don lives. Tang lives in Guide Building, Henan Province.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Baishui County was built near Bocheng. In the first year of Wu Cheng in Zhou Ming, Baishui was changed to Bocheng County. In the third year of Sui Daye, Bocheng County was changed to Yuanyuan County, and Song County was changed to Yuanqu. Until now.

No matter Baishui in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Bocheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty or Yuanyuan County in the Han Dynasty, when it comes to landscape, it is mostly between the upper and lower Bocheng, that is, Xigou, especially the site of the Warring States and Qin and Han Dynasties, which was discovered not earlier than Shang Tang, and there is still a long way to go to verify it. However, the excavation of the sites of the Qin and Han Dynasties in the Warring States period, combined with literature records, was in Wang Yuan in the Warring States period at that time.

In this way, although I was born in the countryside, I am still a person on the edge of the city wall. Although the soup is unreliable, it is at least the ancient county town of 1000 years ago. Although I have never enjoyed the happiness of being born in the county, those bricks and rubble have left an indelible mark on my memory, because the blood of Boqinghe runs through my veins.

Bocheng will always be my home. I will always belong to Bocheng.
