(A) Handan toddler
This story tells that in the Warring States Period, a young man from Shouling, Yan State went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State. When he saw the beautiful walking posture of Handan people, he started to learn. As a result, he not only failed to learn well, but even forgot his original walking method, so he had to crawl back to his hometown. Later, this story evolved into an idiom-learning to walk in Handan, which means imitating others and not coming home, but losing their original skills.
This is a widely circulated story. For a while, I often went to Handan. When my colleagues saw me, they joked, Look, you can't walk again. Did you go to Handan again? It seems that this is already a well-known story for women and children. It is a good thing to spread widely, but more importantly, we can't ignore the enlightenment of this story today. Nowadays, whether it is economic development or people's life, there is a serious tendency to copy the west, ignoring its own characteristics, and the result is neither fish nor fowl.
There is a toddler bridge in the center of Handan city. It is said that Yan teenagers learn to walk in Handan here. The existing stone bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it is no longer open to traffic. Around the stone bridge, a citizen's leisure and entertainment square has been built, and the story of toddlers has been carved into sculptures to educate future generations. Many inscriptions have been carved in the square, telling the history of Handan, and there is an irregular sculpture engraved with idioms related to Handan, which is entertaining and interesting.
(2) offer a humble apology
In the street not far from the railway station in the old city of Handan, there is a very short alley-Return Lane, which is the narrow lane where Lin Xiangru avoids Lian Po. Nowadays, many antique buildings have been newly built here, and the alley is in name only, and the antique style has been completely lost, but a stone tablet has been set up in the alley to tell the story of offering a humble apology.
This is a story that was once selected as a middle school textbook. During the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, a civil servant of the State of Zhao, made a plan to defend the enemy of the State of Qin, so that the priceless jade of He returned to Zhao intact, and went to Mianchi to argue with the king of Qin to safeguard the dignity of the country, and was named Shangqing, above the general Lian Po. Lian Po, a veteran who has repeatedly made meritorious military service, refused to accept it and threatened to humiliate Lin Xiangru if he saw him. When two people met in a carriage and in a narrow lane, Lin Xiangru took the tail from wagging the dog and let his carriage leave the narrow lane to avoid Lian Po. Lian Po was deeply moved, so Lian Po went to Lin Xiangru's house to confess his sins with Vitex negundo on his back. From then on, the two became friends of life and death, and the state of Zhao was in harmony and the country was greatly boosted. This story also quickly evolved into an idiom, saying that you have the courage to admit your mistakes and accept the punishment of the other party sincerely. To err is human. If you have the courage to admit your mistakes and accept punishment, you can get forgiveness and respect from others. Now, this is a very widely used idiom.
The area around Huichexiang is the old city of Handan, where there are many old houses and several deep houses, which were the courtyards of Handan municipal government agencies during the Republic of China. Today, ordinary people live there. Although the house is old, the folk customs are still chivalrous. On that day, I was wandering around the old street with my camera on my back. A middle-aged worker volunteered to lead me around. Under his guidance, I saw the remains of the ancient city wall of Handan, the compound of the tax bureau and machinery bureau of Handan government in the Republic of China, and a simple land temple. The people in the old street are at ease, the students after school are laughing and playing, there are no roaring cars, and occasionally there is a peddler's cry, which seems like a lifetime ago. However, the roar of the demolished bulldozers has been vaguely heard, and I don't know how long this tranquility can be guarded.
(3) The dream of an absurd person
This story has nothing to do with the Warring States, but it happened in Handan. It is said that in ancient times, a scholar named Lu went to Beijing to catch the exam, and passed by the store in Handan. He was down and out, frustrated and lamented alone. He happened to meet Lv Dongbin passing by here, and when he saw this situation, he planned to enlighten him, so he gave him a porcelain pillow. After sleeping with the pillow, Lu Sheng began to dream that he had married a beautiful woman who was born in a rich family, and he was admitted to Beijing as a scholar. Then he made contributions everywhere and became a prime minister. Dream of death, Lu Sheng woke up with a start, a look at the owner's yellow rice is not cooked yet.
This story originated from Shen Jiji's legendary novel A Story in the Pillow in the Tang Dynasty. Later, both Tang Xianzu and Pu Songling interpreted this story, in which Lu Xian was later interpreted as Lv Dongbin. Now people use this idiom to describe an unrealistic dream that cannot be realized. But in my opinion, the author's original intention is to describe the splendor and ups and downs that people may experience in their lives through a dream, and to express the negative and world-weary view that life is like a dream. At the end of the story, it is said that after Lu Sheng woke up from his dream, he fully understood life and went to preach with Lv Dongbin.
Later generations built the Lv Xian Temple in Lu Sheng's dream shop. The earliest surviving relic is the stone carving of the Ming Dynasty on the wall in front of the door. It is said that the four characters of the stone carving "Penglai Wonderland" are written by Lv Dongbin in calligraphy, which is vigorous and free-spirited, with an air of sage like type. Other halls, such as Zhongli Hall, Lvzu Hall and Lusheng Hall, have been rebuilt recently.
In the East Campus of Lv Xian Temple, there is a museum with dreams as its theme. Ancient books and legendary "dreams", such as Zhuangzi's Dream Butterfly, Dream of Red Mansions and Nanke's Dream, are displayed in the form of paintings and explanations, which are vivid and interesting, as if they have entered the dream world, especially the paintings drawn by Chinese painting techniques are of high standard. If a comic book is published with the contents on display, it will be popular.
(4) Hufu riding and shooting
I don't think the story of "Hu fu riding and shooting" is an idiom, but at best it can only be an allusion. This allusion warns people not to rest on their laurels, but to learn from the strengths of others and be brave in reform. For us in the midst of social change, it still has a more important warning role.
King Wuling of Zhao is an energetic monarch of Zhao. During the military friction with the surrounding Hu people, he found that Hu people's short clothes and trousers were very flexible in riding, so he advocated wearing Hu people's clothes and learning Hu people's fighting methods of riding and archery. To this end, he pushed through the crowd, took the lead in wearing Hu clothes, learning to ride horses, practicing archery, and personally training soldiers, which made Zhao's military strength stronger and stronger, repelled the Hu people, wiped out Zhongshan, and became one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States".
Legend has it that Chajianling in the west of Handan City is the place where King Wuling of Zhao practiced "riding and shooting in hufu" and trained his foot soldiers, and the cong tai in Congtai Park in downtown Handan was used by King Wuling of Zhao to inspect the army. Nowadays, Congtai has become a landmark building in Handan City. Many commodities are named after Congtai, and the locals even gave me a bottle of Congtai wine.
In addition to reviewing and training, the cluster platform of "Flowing eastward and purple gas coming from the west" is also a place for princes to rest and entertain. It is quite famous and has been built and abandoned repeatedly in history. The main building now is left over from the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Many great writers in history, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Guo Moruo, etc., and emperors such as Qianlong, have all admired the stage, which is a cultural relic. Now, Congtai Park has been built here, which has become a place for ordinary people to rest and entertain.
Handan's history and culture
Handan is a "national historical and cultural city". As early as 8,000 years ago, the ancestors of Cishan in the early Neolithic period multiplied and recuperated here. In the process of Handan's long history, it has nurtured and accumulated profound historical culture, which is a precious spiritual wealth left by our ancestors to our descendants. The history of more than 8,000 years has been cast into the top ten cultural veins of Handan. Zhao culture, represented by Hu Fu riding and shooting, has its basic connotation of openness, enterprising and tolerance, which shows the spirit of reform and innovation that Zhao showed when competing for the Central Plains. She is one of the sources of the ancient Chinese culture, the crystallization of the intersection, fusion and sublimation of Chinese culture and northern grassland nomadic culture, and has the duality of Chinese culture in the Central Plains and northern grassland culture, which reflects the process of ethnic conflict and integration in the northern region. She is rich and profound, charming and radiant, and is a representative of Handan regional culture. Zhao culture originated in the autumn, flourished in the Warring States and continued to the Han Dynasty. It has been flowing in the long river of history and has formed its own unique charm. Developed handicrafts such as iron smelting, copper making and pottery making have emerged here, which has formed a prosperous urban commercial trade, nurtured a generation of academic masters such as Xunzi, Gongsun Long and Shen Dao, and emerged a number of heroic figures such as King Wuling of Zhao, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru and Zhao She. It and Yan culture * * * isomorphic form the general situation of ancient northern culture in China. The mainstream connotation of Zhao culture is "pioneering and enterprising, competitive, eclectic, reform and innovation", and the thoughts running through it, such as people-oriented, recruiting talents, uniting and being brave in serving the country, are still of great practical significance to our emancipation of the mind and reform and opening up today. Magnetic mountain culture, magnetic mountain culture is the archaeological culture of the Neolithic Age in China, and it is a typical representative of the primitive farming culture characterized by millet farming and settlement life in China. It shows the struggle spirit of human beings to use and integrate with nature, and is named after the Cishan site that first appeared in Wu 'an. Through scientific determination, it has a history of more than 8000 years. 1976, archaeological excavations began. More than 5,000 pieces of pottery, stones, bones and mussels were unearthed, as well as a large number of animal and plant specimens such as poultry, livestock and walnuts. More than 10,000 kilograms of carbonized millet was also found. Cishan was confirmed as the earliest birthplace of grain crops-millet in the world, and it was also the earliest discovery place of China chickens and Central Plains walnuts. The three discoveries of crops "millet" (millet), domestic chicken and walnut (walnut) not only reflect the great contributions made by the ancestors of Cishan to human survival and development in the process of understanding, utilizing and transforming nature, but also rewrite the history of millet farming, domestic chicken domestication and walnut producing areas in China and even the world. Living utensils characterized by ceramic flat-bottomed pots and bird's-head-shaped legs, farming and threshing tools characterized by stone axes, shovels, millstones and grinding rods, grain pits characterized by rectangular pits, and sacrificial relics characterized by pottery and stone tools, etc., constitute the unique and rich connotation of magnetic mountain culture. Magnetic mountain culture, known as the "treasure of China", is a major breakthrough in China's Neolithic archaeology. The Nuwa Palace, where Nuwa culture is located on the ancient Huangshan Mountain in Shexian County, is said to be the place where Nuwa, the ancestor of China, "tempered the stone to make up for it, and made people out of the earth". The Wa Palace was named after it. Because Nu Wa made man out of earth and was the creator of human beings, it was honored as "Huaxia Ancestral Temple" by the world. The Wa Palace is built on a cliff, with its attic hanging high and ingenious structure. It is known as one of the top ten wonders of ancient buildings in Hebei. According to the study of the grottoes and cliff carvings excavated by the Wa Palace, it was built in the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, with a history of more than 1450 years. Later, it was expanded and repaired one after another, gradually forming today's scale. According to legend, the 15th day of March in the lunar calendar is the birth day of Nu Wa. Whenever the Temple Fair of Emperor Wa is held at this time, tourists from several neighboring provinces gather here to worship Nu Wa. For thousands of years, folk customs, folk beliefs and myths and legends spread here have formed a rich mysterious culture, which is well-known in the Central Plains. The culture of Nuwa, represented by the Wa Palace, shows the unyielding spirit of the female snail to fight against nature, transform nature and benefit the people in the wild world, and shows the national spirit of the Chinese nation to constantly strive for self-improvement. Shexian was named "the hometown of Nuwa culture in China" by China Folk Artists Association. Cao Wei Jian 'an Culture, located in the southwest of Linzhang County, is the center of political, economic and military culture in northern China from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the reunification of Sui Dynasty in 400 years, it was a famous ancient capital in the north, where Cao Wei, Hou Zhao, Ran Wei, Qian Yan, Dong Wei and Northern Qi successively established their capitals. During the Warring States Period, Ximen Bao was famous for his reign, and the splendid "Jian 'an Literature" was born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao, a famous politician, strategist and poet, gathered in Yecheng a "group of people under Ye" with Cao Shi, his son and the seven sons of Jian 'an as the main body. His poems and essays were generous, and he created a vigorous and emotional style, leaving a large number of literary works on Ci and Fu, which occupied an extremely important position in China's cultural treasure house. Located in Yecheng, north of the Yellow River, there are more than 100 tombs of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties and numerous temple sites scattered on the bank of Zhanghe River, which describe its past glory. The architectural pattern of Tongque Santai and Yecheng has had a great influence on the capital buildings of Chang 'an Capital, Yuandadu (Beijing City), Nara City of Japan and even later generations. The Jian 'an culture, based on Yecheng, is the cradle of Jian 'an literature, the crystallization of national integration, and the wonder of China's cultural history. Beiqi Grottoes Culture, represented by Xiangtangshan Grottoes and Wa Palace Grottoes, is the treasure of Buddhist sculpture art in China, where there is the world's largest group of cliff-carved scriptures, representing the highest achievement of Buddhist development in the Northern Dynasties. Xiangtangshan Grottoes is the largest Buddhist grotto temple in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the fifth largest grotto group in China after the four famous grottoes in China, namely Yungang, Longmen, Dunhuang and Maijishan. It is also a treasure of Buddhist sculpture art in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was excavated in the Sui, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties. There are 16 large and small caves and more than 4,300 statues. On the one hand, it is the historical embodiment of the process of mutual integration of Chinese and Western cultures, on the other hand, it is the historical witness of the mutual infiltration of North and South cultures, and it is an important link in the process of sinicization of Buddhist sculpture art in China. There are six Buddhist scriptures in the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Wa Palace Grottoes, with a total of about 130,000 words. It is the largest and most complete preserved text in the Cliff Inscriptions in China. It is an important material for studying the Buddhist history of China and collating the Buddhist historical records of China, and it is also a masterpiece of calligraphy art in the Northern Dynasty. Dream culture, represented by the famous dream of "One Pillow of Huangliang" and the ancient building complex of Huangliang Dream Lvxian Temple, contains profound China's philosophical thoughts and shows the Chinese nation's yearning and persistent pursuit of beautiful things.
