There is an article called Sima Temple. What is this?

When it comes to Hancheng, you will naturally think of Sima Qian. Land is said by people, and I have long admired Hancheng because of my reverence for Sima Qian. It feels like a really good place, with high terrain, wide walls and beautiful countryside. When I was young, I visited once in a hurry, perhaps because I was naive. I am only impressed by some high and low buildings. After reading Sima Qian's book, I didn't find a clear feeling from the memory of that trip. Revisiting is not all about rediscovery, sometimes it's just starting from scratch.

South of Hancheng is a basin different from the surrounding mountains, with trees and fertile land. Suspected to be a fairyland in Jiangnan. Water conservancy flows into the Yellow River from here, which is so good for the geomantic omen of Sichuan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who became attached to Sima Qian, did not want to die. Those alchemist bureaucrats liked it, but they dug up Ganoderma lucidum in this area. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved medicine, but he didn't live to this day. This changed the name of the river originally called Taoqu Water to Branch Water. After crossing the small stone bridge, the wooden archway, stepping into the gate of the ancestral tomb and stepping on the ancient road of Sima, we began to climb in hope.

The ancient road at the foot is paved with wide and thick stone strips, rough and hard, and it is still as strong as ever after thousands of years. The ancient road, also known as the Han Post Road, was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. After Han, Zhao and Wei split up, they dug the traffic artery on this cliff. In the battle of Chu and Han, Han Xin transported troops here; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offered sacrifices to Hou Di and went back and forth to this palace. At the end of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Shimin entered Chang 'an through this; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng crossed Longmen here and took Yanjing; Zhu De crossed the Yellow River here to fight the Japanese invaders. This ancient road paved with huge stones is immortal because it is not easy to change. This is another historical record written on a stone. Before and after Taishi Gong, the historical dramas of Jingoma Iron, which evolved here, were all seen in the eyes of tangible and intangible Shi Sheng.

There is a blasphemy river monument on the south side, which was moved into the temple in recent years. It means that in a certain year of the Song Dynasty, the water of the Yellow River became clear three times, "a hundred miles long, a day long." Huang Heqing, a saint, is undoubtedly an auspicious sign. As soon as the emperor was happy, he allocated funds to build temples and monuments. It may be a historical fact that the Yellow River changed from turbid to clear. Today, the Yellow River is still yellow, and Huang Heqing has become the dream of modern people. Interestingly, the signs of natural changes are often unreliable. The tablet reads 15 years after the Yellow River was clear, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and the emperor and his son became the prisoners of the Yellow River nomads.

"The mountain rises to the top" is a famous sentence in the Book of Songs, which is embedded in the archway above the head, just in line with the mood of worshippers. At this time, your steps have entered Shinto, and you can reach the top of the temple by climbing ninety-nine steps. This steep ridge was built by later generations, with 99-grade masonry, which was taken from the explanation in the Book of Changes. Nine poles, ninety-nine supreme. The ancestral temple of the emperor is called Nine Halls, but the Taishiling, which is not high in rank, has ninety-nine Shinto levels. One of the meanings is that the temple builders despise imperial power. More significantly, Sima Qian experienced many twists and turns before reaching the peak of Shi Sheng. He "takes heaven and earth as the quantity, regardless of small shame", and illuminates future generations with "the historian sings a swan song, leaving Sao without rhyme"

"Move Longmen, cultivate rivers, mountains and the sun". Although the Sima family has been an official for generations, Taishi has made the official position humble, and it is not enough to serve Lu. If you want to support your family, you must rely on agriculture and animal husbandry in your hometown. Sima Qian's youth life, working and studying, should be idyllic. /kloc-entered Chang 'an at the age of 0/9, and traveled to Jianghuai Valley, Central Plains and Shandong at the age of 20-23 to prepare for his father Sima Tan's writing a general history of China. Soon after, he became an official and became the emperor's bodyguard and retinue many times. At the age of 35, he was a corps commander. As the emperor's special envoy, he traveled to Bashu to appease the southwest. After bidding farewell to his father, he sacrificed Mount Tai with the emperor and went to Puyang to fight floods. The 38-year-old stepfather is Taishiling, who is in charge of ephemeris, manages the Royal Atlas, formulates the taichu calendar Law, and often accompanies the emperor on business trips. It was not until he was 43 years old that he began to "forget the knowledge of the guests, forget the things at home, think hard day and night, and do his job wholeheartedly" and wrote Taishi Gongshu.

At this point, Sima Qian can assist his court history well, regardless of current state affairs, and finish his book for life. Perhaps it is because of the old saying "happiness can't escape, nor can misfortune", and his bad luck is also an opportunity for him to achieve greatness. This year, Su Wu was detained when he went to Xiongnu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent his troops to make a crusade. Li Ling is a general, so please "be a team". After Li Ling was defeated and captured, Liang Wudi was naturally angry. In order to please Liang Wudi, ministers did not dare to investigate Li Guangli's dereliction of duty, so they put all the blame on Li Ling. When Sima Qian responded to the call of Emperor Wu, he did not echo it, but said a few words of truth and truth. He said that the main responsibility for the defeat lies in the commander-in-chief Li Guangli, and Li Ling has the wind of Li Guang and is the general of the father of flying. Although he was captured, he would definitely find a way to repay the Han Dynasty. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that he dared to sue Li Guangli, the prince's maternal uncle, and that he had been jealous of the mistakes of Jingdi and the emperor in Taishi Gongshu, he flew into a rage and sent him to prison for libel. Li Ling was forced to surrender after the genocide, and Sima Qian was aggravated with the crime of "false accusation" and sentenced to death. Free from death, one is to pay 500 thousand, and the other is to go to jail. Poor Sima Qian has no money to atone. In order to realize his dream of writing a general history of China, he had to bring disgrace to oneself and give up his position as a male reproductive organ. He surpassed the material and spiritual situation of ordinary people, "not empty beauty, not hiding evil", "poor thinking changes, naturally poor, can become a family statement from ancient times to the present", he wrote a history book on the earth. He was tortured at 48 and died at 56. In the end, I still complained about going to prison to die.

Legend has it that Sima Qian's wife Liu Qianniang and her children transported Taishigong's bones back to their hometown and buried them on this high mountain. There is a saying that parents with physical problems can't get the world without any harm. Sima Qian was imprisoned and humiliated his ancestors, so he could not bury his ancestors. Whose sorrow is this? I prefer to think that Zhenjiashan and other mountains near the river are short in the sky. It is the best rest place in Shi Sheng. Emperors of all dynasties regarded him as a judge, but few feudal literati dared to admire him. The expansion and maintenance of ancestral graves are mostly completed by local county officials and people.

Climb the mountain gate and climb to the highest temple. The terrain is open. There are many inscriptions in the temple. The wonderful thing is the dream monument. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, Chu Suiliang dreamed that a woman named Sui Qingyu in Tongzhou claimed to be Sima Qian's concubine and died of grief after being removed. Chu Suiliang wrote this epitaph. Whether it is a record or an illusion, there is no consistent statement. The clay sculpture of Sima Qian, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, is not a castrated statue without a "woman", but a line drawing of Taishigong in the prime of life in the rural areas of Zhichuan. According to legend, the portrait was painted by Madame Sima, and the clay sculpture looks a little north, so two good friends, Su Wu and Li Ling, are missing! Behind the bedroom is Sima Qian's round brick tomb, which is a Mongolian gossip tomb built for Yuan Shizu's command. It is "understanding the virtue of the gods and the love of all things" and must belong to great wisdom and wisdom. The top of the tomb is divided into five fingers, which is called entering the court. It looks like trembling five fingers, pointing proudly at the sky.

This is a matter of heaven! I hear Shi Sheng singing. This song goes through ancient and modern times, promotes the good and abandons the evil, and dances with the river. There is an eagle flying in the sky. It says circular tombs, square temples, straight archways and mountain gates, and then curved ancient stone slopes and bridge roads. This is actually a huge question mark on the earth.
