Urgent! ! ! Meng Haoran's former residence photo! ! ! !
In my opinion, in order to find clues, two conditions must be met: one is to find reliable physical data, and the other is to study the changing track of historical geography and strive to restore the actual geography and landforms of that year. With these two conditions, combined with the description of Meng Shi's poems, the three can learn from each other and solve them better. Recently, the author carried out work from these three aspects, conducted textual research, and basically determined the specific location of Meng's hometown.
First, the identification of Meng descendants in Duan's epitaph
In the absence of ruins, it is a path to find descendants and then infer Meng Haoran's hometown according to his place of residence. Among them, Duan's epitaph is worth studying, which has not been collated. This inscription was unearthed in Hougang Village, Guyuangang, on the left (east) bank of Nanhanshui, Xiangyang 1958. When leveling the land, it was excavated from the Ming tomb of Mengjiazu. Due to serious damage, some characters are illegible. The inscription reads as follows:
□ Written by Di Chengzhilang, official of Beijing Household Department, Ke, a county citizen, Dr. Shi Zhengyi, assistant minister of Beijing Dali Temple, Zheng Jizhi, a county citizen, and Jia Siming, a citizen of Yanzhou County, Shandong Province.
There are aspirations in the tomb to show that you will never forget. Only those who live forever will be rewarded with stones, so that there can be a test. As the saying goes, people who have the virtue of motherhood and womanhood can also enlighten and set an example. Can you remember without ambition? Xiang county in the east of Jiangnan is a descendant of Haoran sages. The game industry lasted for dozens of generations, and Zeng, who spread to it, married Duan, a Confucian, and gave birth to Bo Zi Ying Yuanhe Qi. Boyi married Liu and gave birth to five grandchildren: (The following 300 words describe the kindness of Duan's upbringing, omitted) Seventy years old, with seven grandchildren. The speaker said: the benevolent lives long, the sage prospers, and the county people are also quick. Ruzi was born in Xinmao, Jiajing on February 17th, and died in Ding Wei on August 17th, Wanli. So on February 24th, 2008/KLOC-0, they were buried together on the right side of Chu Shi's tomb. Bo Zi should be Yuan □□□□□□□□□□□□□, who was at that time. Taste Mu Haoran's public interest, and be determined to □□□□ but not to □□□ Yue Ming (the following inscription is four sentences and sixteen words, omitted) 03.
The first point that the inscription can explain is that the Meng surname of Hougang Village in Guyuan is the descendant of Meng Haoran. This can be affirmed from three aspects. One is that the compilation time of local chronicles is not far from the Tang Dynasty, and the theories of Ke and Zheng Jizhi are highly credible. Meng Haoran died in 740 AD. This epitaph was written in 1607 AD, only 800 years away from the Tang Dynasty, only separated by the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Second, the author of the epitaph has a prominent position and a high level of preservation of literature and history, which should be justified. Among them, Zheng Jizhi was a scholar in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, and served as a deputy envoy, servant, monk of Dali Temple and official minister in Sichuan. It is particularly noteworthy that he prefaced Xiangyang County Records, which was written in the forty years of Wanli. Cultural people like this generally respect history and speak according to facts. There seems to be no sufficient reason for the inscription on Zhiren's tomb, because the owner of the tomb is a civilian and his son Meng Yingyuan is also from Chu Shi. According to the epitaph, he is a "Confucian scholar who is well-informed at present". He may belong to a rural intellectual, and his position is not enough for Zheng Jizhi to write an inscription for the tomb. Thirdly, grave robbery is usually only manifested in virtue, performance and so on. As for clan origin, especially things related to historical celebrities, the ancients did not dare to take it lightly. To sum up, it is basically certain that Yuangang Meng is a descendant of Meng Haoran. The word "Shi" in Guyuan Montessori means handed down from generation to generation, indicating that the Montessori family in this area has lived here since ancient times. Therefore, it is not presumptuous to infer that this place is the former residence of Meng Haoran.
Second, the original geographical features and the changes of past dynasties covered Meng Haoran's hometown.
According to Wang Wei's "Crying Meng Haoran", "An old friend disappears, and the Hanshui River flows eastward. It is known that Meng Haoran's former residence is very close to Cai Zhou. It is very helpful to find out Cai Zhou's past and present position.
Check the water classics: "(Mianshui) is injected from the southwest of Dongqu (Xiangyang) County, and the water is injected from the north. Mianshui has Zhou Yuliang. Mianshui also goes to Taolin Tingdong. Mianshui is in the southeast to Cai Zhou. " Bet on "Taolin Pavilion" and say, "It's also going to Xi 'an and Shandong. ○5"
According to Jing Zhou Tu Jing, "Cai Zhou and Cai Mao, a captain of Han Changshui, live in the middle of the river, ten miles south of Shandong. 6 "Fairy Mountain is an unmoved coordinate, and Shili in the southeast is now a village called Dawangzhou on the east bank of Hanshui River. Three miles east of this village is Hougang Village of Guyuangang. Is Dawangzhou ancient Cai Zhou? If the answer is yes, then according to records, ancient Cai Zhou is in the middle of the river, and today's Dawangzhou is on the east coast. What's going on here?
It turned out that Gu Caizhou moved his position and climbed ashore from the "river".
"Shuijing Note" said: "There is a swirling lake in the mainland (Cai), which has cut off dozens of acres. Long mileage and wide steps. ..... opposite Cai Zhou, Shannan Square Lane, Xi 'an. ○7 "According to the Water Classic Note quoted above, Mianshui started in Xianshan and turned to the southeast. After Cai Zhou, it will continue to flow to the southeast, instead of flowing vertically south from Xianshan and Fenglin Mountain and along the western hills as it is today. At that time, there was a vast angular belt between Shan Zhi South and Cai Zhou, and Hu Hui was on it. That is to say, when Cai Zhou existed, its north and east were the main rivers, and its west was the tributary. There is a large area of land on the bank of the tributary, and there are rotating lakes on the land. However, in 30 years in Hedong and 40 years in Hexi, changes have taken place. Later, the main river and its tributaries were transposed, and the western end of Cai Zhou was washed away by the river. The West Bank also collapsed and expanded westward, and the land on it shrank, and Huhui Lake also collapsed in the river (which is why Hu Hui disappeared). However, the river to the east of Cai Zhou gradually silted up and raised, forming a new east coast. In fact, the east coast extends westward for three miles, and villages such as Dawangzhou and Laoyingpan gradually appear on the shore. So Cai Zhou disappeared by the river. This is the general situation of the evolution of Hanshui, that is, Mianshui, for more than 1000 years.
Through the above combing, we know that Cai Zhou is far from the west coast of Xianshan Mountain and Fenglin Mountain, but close to the present east coast, that is, Dawangzhou area. Hougang Village in Guyuangang is thirty miles away from here, so this poem by Wang Wei has this lament.
I visited Zhou Laohan, who died at the foot of Lumen Mountain and beside the Han River. He is 79 years old. He told me about the floods in Dawangzhou in the past, and learned two things: First, the old man listened to the legend of the older generation. The Han River originally flowed through Dawangzhou Village from north to east, joined with Hechun River, and then turned south to the foot of Lumen Mountain and flowed into Yicheng County. Up to now, there are still deep grooves in the rocks at the foot of the mountain. Later, the Hanshui River diverted to the southwest Guanyin Pavilion. This statement is completely consistent with the word "southeast" in Water Mirror Notes (Hanshui River going southeast to Cai Zhou). Secondly, Zhou Laohan said that the flood dike was not built in the 1950s, and it entered the river near Dawangzhou Village when the water rose, so it could sail. In twenty-four years of the Republic of China, the Hanshui River flooded, and the flood once again went from north to south in Dawangzhou Village, leaving several sandbags in the east of the village. The old man in Hougang Village of Guyuangang also said the same thing and quoted empirical evidence. First, until the 1970s, there were still a large area of beaches and sandbags in the west of Hougang Village, Guyuangang, which were the remnants of the river. Secondly, according to the word of mouth of the elderly in Hougang Village, Guyuangang, the river passed through the west of Hougang Village in Guyuangang that year. As physical evidence, the stone archway on the Gaofu side in the west of the village left a ditch mark left by pulling the fiber that year. In 1950s, Danjiang Reservoir was not built in the upper reaches of Hanshui River. In the autumn flood season, the flood rushed to the river bank and reached Hougang Village, Guyuangang.
According to the records of Mianshui Map of Xiangyang County in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, Dawangzhou was also marked in the middle of the river, which coincided with the old man's statement and the water mirror.
Through the topographic survey of Hougang village in Guyuangang, we can still clearly identify the general situation on both sides of the ancient river. In the north of the village, there is a row of high mounds, which can be more than ten meters high. It bypasses the west of the village and extends southward to the vicinity of Lumen Mountain. The west and north of Gaofu are low flat sand areas. Under Gaofu, there is a Xi Gu local named Beigou, which goes along Gaofu until it reaches the foot of Lumen Mountain, joins Hechun River and then enters Hanshui River.
Mr. Pan Xinzao added another note to this section of water, saying: "(Mianshui) goes to the east of Xianshan, then turns south, then turns east, and the east will meet with He Chunhe, reach Lumen Mountain, and turn southwest to Yicheng boundary." ○8 "("He "is a mistake in the word" Zhi ". )
The north branch of the village, that is, the "Beixi" repeatedly described in Meng's poems, and now the "Beigou" is its relic. Meng Haoran's home and hometown are in Jiannan, so it is called "Jiannan Garden".
"Everything sends a letter to Hubei": "Those who give and forget the machine are in Hanyin. Because you went to your hometown, you sent it away. " "Homesick Rain in Qin Dynasty will be presented to Prime Minister Yuan and Assistant Minister He": "Study hard for 30 years and close the door to Jianghan Yin." They all call Hanyin their home. According to the above, Guyuangang Hougang Village was located on the east bank of Mianshui during the Han and Tang Dynasties, very close to Cai Zhou in the river, and its north was a tributary or circulation of Mianshui, which was very wide; According to the traditional saying that Shannan water is Yang and Shannan water is Yang, the village is located in "Hanyin". Accordingly, it can be said that the South Garden of Meng's hometown is located in Hougang, Yuangang Village.
Thirdly, the understanding of the description of geographical features in Meng's poems.
However, Mr. Chen Yiyun thinks that "Jiannan Garden is close to Xianshan Mountain" and "Nanyuan is outside the South China", which is not in line with the reality of geography and geomorphology. Xian Mountain is 70 miles south of the city, on the west bank of Hanshui River. According to Shuijing and its annotations, as well as other documents, there is no such water system on the west bank of Nanhan River in Xiangyang, especially near Xianshan Mountain. Although there is a Hu Hui Lake in Shan Zhinan, it is not a stream, and Hu Hui Lake already has a name, so Montessori will not invent new words. Between the north of Xi 'an and Xiangyang City, there is a flat land. Except for a canal (water), there is no water system and no "north flow". Since there is no Beixi in the west bank, Meng's hometown can't be here; Jiangdong has such a water system or landform, which is consistent with the description in Meng's poems. Based on the poems or keywords of Meng Shi mentioned by Mr. Chen Yiyun, combined with the topography of Hougang Village in Jiangdong, this paper tries to prove that Hougang Village is the South Garden of Meng Jian.
First of all, talk about "North Sword". In Meng's poem "Jiannan is a thing and fascinating", it is written that "the fishing rod hangs down the north sword, and firewood sings into Nanxuan". "Boating in the North Stream" wrote that "the North Stream is always full and stands upright. It's fun to be by the river, so why be in the five lakes? "The second poem describes the poet's daily life at home. According to the poem, Meng's hometown not only has Beixi, but also has a large area and a large flow. You can row boats and swim on it at will. This has also been confirmed by Mr. Chen. As mentioned earlier, such an open water surface is impossible in the north and south of Xianshan on the west bank. From the last two poems, Mr. Chen infers that the "sword" in the poem "Meeting Mr. Wang Jiong of Baiyun" means "northern sword", and Mr. Baiyun's visit is on the way. I think it makes sense, but it is debatable. The problem is still built in the north. I think it is more reasonable to put Beijian in Hougang Village. This village is located between Lumen Mountain and Xiangyang City, near Yu Liang Ferry, the east bank of Nandutou. When Wang Jiong went to town, he naturally crossed the river. According to Mr. Chen's opinion, because the west bank of the ferry is a few miles north of Xianshan Mountain, it is not on the way.
The second time, "Nandutou" and Zhou Yuliang. "Send Zhang Xiangzhi's Tomb" has "My family is in Nandutou, and I am used to taking a savage boat. Find out the sentence of shallow and turbulent forest upstream. Xiangyang Mianshui Ancient Ferry has Jin Dong in the east and Nandutou in the south. Nandutou is the place where "Yu Liang Ferry competes for crossing", which is on the Nanjiang River in the east of the city and close to Zhou Yuliang. Every ferry has two banks, and the east bank is slightly north of Hougang Village in Guyuangang, so Meng Shi called it "My South Crossing". Because it is close to Nandutou, "Song of Returning to Deer Gate at Night" says, "Crossing the fish beam is noisy ... I also go to Deer Gate by boat"; Because Hougang Village is close to Lumeng Mountain, it can "unconsciously come to an ancient seclusion" in a short time. The west bank of the ferry is a few miles north of Mount Xi 'an (this is inferred from the position of Zhou Yuliang). If, according to Mr. Chen, Jiannanyuan is near Xianshan, there is no need to go further north and reach the ferry to reach Lumen Mountain. Secondly, the journey from here to Lumen Mountain is farther than that from Jiangdong, so it is impossible to "suddenly" visit Pang Gong's seclusion.
Mr. Chen thinks that Nanshan in the poem "Planting Melons in Old Nursery Period under Nanshan Mountain" refers not to Lumen Mountain, but to Xianshan. This is just the opposite. He believes that Lumen Mountain and Xiangyang are three miles apart. "If you refer to Lumeng Mountain, you should not take Guo as the center in distance. Because it is close to Guo, there is a sentence of' Lin Lu Bei Guo credits'. Teacher Chen clearly understood "Northland" as the northland of Xiangyang City, that is, the north gate. The problem lies in the misunderstanding of the poet's point of view. I think the "south" and "north" here should be based on Jiannan Garden, that is, the poet stands in Hougang Village on the east coast and looks south. The "Southern Mountain" is Lumeng Mountain; Because it is only a few miles away, it is also "near". Looking north, "Guo in the North" is Xiangyang City; Credit is far away; Because Xiangyang City is about fifteen Li away from here, compared with Liumen Mountain, it is also called "credit". If Nanshan refers to the fairy mountain, and Northland refers to the country north of the city (north gate), "Nanyuan is outside the Southland ○ 13", how can the poet "Southland" be "Northland"? The reason is unreasonable, "South" and "North" cannot be opposed (the mountain of "South" can only correspond to the city of "North", but not to the north of the city). In addition, if Jiannan Garden is located on the west bank of Hanshui River, it is located in the eastern foothills of the south of the city. To describe a mountain peak, a poet can only call it "Xishan", not "Nanshan". Teacher Chen is not familiar with local geography, so it is far-fetched to analyze this poem.
A textual research on Bai Juyi s Traveling with Meng Haoran in Xiangyang;
Chushan Biyan, Hanshui Biyang Decoction. Exquisite image formation, Montessori's article.
Today, I satirize the heritage and think of people's nostalgia for their hometown. There is no succession in the breeze, and the sunset is empty in Xiangyang.
Looking south at Lumen Mountain, the fragrance is overflowing. I don't know where the old hiding place is, the clouds are deep and the trees are gray.
It is clearly stated in the poem that the author went to Meng's hometown ("to his hometown") and Lumen Mountain was in the south ("looking south at Lumen Mountain"). According to the last four sentences, standing in Meng's hometown, you can clearly see the trees on Lumen Mountain, but you can see white clouds around the forest. Which means this place is not far from Mount Lumeng. If it is in the fairy mountain mentioned by Chen, because the distance is at least 20 miles, and Lumen Mountain is only 350 meters above sea level, you can only see a low mountain shadow. Where can I see trees? And you can't see the Lumen Mountain in the north of Xianshan from the azimuth. If you look at the Lumen Mountain at the southern foot of Xianshan Mountain, you can only call it "looking east". No matter from a distance or from a wait-and-see direction, in fact, Guyuangang Hougang Village is in its place.
Let's start with "The Sound of Water". "There is a bosom on the early cold river (homesickness on the river)": "The wild goose falls into the water, and the water is cold with the north wind. I remember my home; However, the bend of the Xiangjiang River is surrounded by clouds in the south of the Yangtze River. " The ringing water here refers to Mianshui, that is, Hanshui. As mentioned earlier, Hougang Village of Guyuangang is located in a winding place of Mianshui, which is a typical "winding place of xiangshui". Jiangyou is far from Hanshui, and there is no such landform. (Some people think that "Xiangshuiqu" refers to the Xiangshui that branches from Duck Lake to the southeast in the south of Xiangyang. This is not right. Because this water is too small, its fame and momentum are not big enough to enter Mengshi; And there are no waters like Beijian and East Lake. There is a photo of Nanqu in Meng Haoran Memorial Hall of Lumen Mountain, which is marked as the former site of Jiannan Garden, which is very inappropriate. )
Let's talk about "Yecheng". Wang Shiyuan's Preface to Meng Haoran's Collection says that "eating fresh and moving quickly will eventually lead to the south garden". Mr. Chen thinks this smelting city should be near Guo and Xianshan in Xiangyang. Due to its long history, this ancient small place name is no longer circulating. It is also speculated that "governing the city" was changed to smelting the city because of the taboo of "Li Zhi", namely Xiangyang City. 14. The latter obviously won't work. Jiannanyuan is far from Xiangyang City, so they can't be in the same place. Historical information about Yecheng is really scarce, but according to the author's field investigation in recent years, it is known that Hougang Village has preserved a complete set of place names since ancient times. The middle of the village is called Duchayuan (the word "courtyard post" means "Fu Gang where Duchayuan is located"), there are place names "East Drum Tower" and "West Drum Tower" in the west of the village, and the fields in the east of the village are called "Ma Dao". The old man said that this village used to be a city. Although there is no other evidence to prove that it is a smelting city, it can be concluded that it is an ancient city. Combined with Meng's poem "Lan Ruo, the Zen Master of Xishan", it shows that Yecheng and Nanyuan are the same place. Then, combined with the above-mentioned historical and geographical investigation, it is not unreasonable to temporarily understand it as Yecheng in Meng's poems.
Finally, talk about "Cave Lake". The word "cave lake" appeared twice in Meng's poems. Back to Wuchang: "Home Cave on the Lake". Searching for Five Nights Garden: "As soon as I heard about it, Pang Gongyin moved to a cave lake." Some people think that "cave lake" is a mistake of "circling the lake", but I think "cave lake" is real, not a mistake. Reason 1: A clerical error cannot appear twice in a row. Meng's poem clearly says "Cave Lake". Is there any reason to insist that it is wrong? Reason 2: If Hu Hui is mentioned in Shui Jing Zhu and Donghu is not mentioned, then Donghu does not exist, and this inference is not strict. In fact, many place names in Meng's poems have not been written into geographical and historical works such as Notes on Water Mirrors (such as Nanjian and Beijian), so their existence cannot be doubted. Reason 3: On the contrary, I think East Lake is a lake near Hougang Village. Water Mirror records: "Mianshui is in the southeast, just north of the city. Mianshui is in the east, close the hole. ○ 15 "Yicheng is a fief of the Eastern Han Dynasty, several miles south of Linfen Mountain on the west bank of Hanshui River, and the other side is the area south of Guyuangang Village. Mr. Pan Xinzao, the "hole" in this passage, added: Cave water is white water that originated in Zaoyang, that is, rolling river water. In ancient times, it entered Mian from the south of Jin Dong Bay, then turned to the north and entered Mangshui (Tangbaihe River), and entered Mian from Longkou in the northeast of Fancheng (ancient Mianzi country, now near zhang wan). "Once upon a time ○ 16" During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the terrain was low and the water network was vertical and horizontal, so it was entirely possible to form a lake at the entrance of the cave water. If this is true, then this lake is named after water, and this lake should be a cave lake. Later, when the water was diverted from the cave to the north, the lake gradually silted up, and later generations could not know it, so it was assumed that it was a mistake to return to the lake.
The sentence "I heard that Pang Gong lived in seclusion for a long time, so I moved to Donghu" in Searching for Five Nights Garden also tells us that Donghu is not a mistake of returning to the lake. The meaning of these two poems is that I heard that Zhang Wu recently went to Lumen Mountain, where Pang Gong lived in seclusion, to be a hermit, and his family moved there, which is close to Cave Lake. Together, these two poems are: Pang Gongyin and Near the Cave Lake. As mentioned earlier, Lumen Mountain is close to Cave Water or Cave Lake. Mr. Chen said in his notes: "According to the Records of the Qing Dynasty, there are many lakes in the southwest suburb of Xiangyang, such as Tanxi Lake and Wuhu. There was a cave lake at that time, but its name has not been passed down today, and it is unknown. " Mr. Chen only knows that there are lakes in Jiangxi, but he doesn't know that there are caves in Jiangdong. But his attitude is honest and respectable. Back to the front, let's talk about whether the "sword" in the poem "Meeting Mr. Wang Jiong of Baiyun" is a northern stream. I think this is very clear, that is, it is probably some large and small lakes and streams near the cave lake, because the word "Jian Shui Ze" has a rich meaning, which is not only a form of stagnant water, but also a form of running water, meaning to stop water. Cave Lake is near Lumen, so Wang Jiong can "swim often".
Mr. Chen emphatically analyzed two poems, Nostalgia at Menshan and Song of the Road at Night, to support the view that Jiannan Garden is located in a riverside village near Xianshan in the south of Xiangyang. Mr. Chen divided the waterway from Jiannan Garden to Lumen into three sections, of which the first section, the first section, said, "Jiannan Garden is in the north of Xianshan Mountain, and the northern sword flows downstream from west to east." It shows that Jiannan Garden is located in the northwest of Xianshan, otherwise, how could it "flow downstream from west to east" to "the land where Xianshan Beixi enters Han"? However, as mentioned in the first paragraph of this section, there is no similar water system between Ye Ping in the north and King Chu in the northwest of Xianshan. Teacher Chen's analysis is obviously caused by imagination. However, after analysis, Mr. Chen thinks that "the sailing time from Jiannan Garden to Lumen Mountain is not long" and quotes poems such as "The Song of Lumen at Night" as evidence, which is extremely correct. As mentioned earlier, Yuangang Village is only a few miles away from the west foot of Lumen. And go by boat, without detours, you can go directly south to the west peak of Lumen Mountain, and then climb east to the bottom of the main peak. But I think the trip to Lumen Mountain written in Looking Back on the Past did not start from Jiannan Garden, but started from Zhou Yuliang or Xiangyang City with my friends, so "crossing the river with the water" means passing through Xianshan. If you start from Jiannan Garden, you don't need to go through Xianshan. As evidence, the word "Wei Hui" in the poem is worth noting, which is the abbreviation of Pei Wei. For Pei Wei, as Qian Daxin said, "the captain of the ship is Pei Wei". For such a big boat, the Meng family can't afford it, and they don't have to buy it; Secondly, the size of the ship is the size of the ship, indicating that there are many people traveling together and it is necessary to build a big ship. The song "Night at Deer Gate" was not written by Friends, so it is not called "taking a boat" to say "taking a boat". There is no evidence or clue in the poem that the poet must have started from Jiannan Garden. In fact, the poet has a wide range of friends and few days to stay at home. It should be reasonable to travel with lumens after the banquet in Xiangyang city. In short, historical geography is clearly there, and it is a hard bone. Anyone who meets it has to correct his speculation.
The exact location of the south garden of Meng Haoran's former residence has been controversial, and it is impossible to implement ○18; The reason lies in the ignorance of the historical geography of Mianshui in ancient Xiangyang, the lack of research on its changes, and the wrong placement of Jiannan Garden in the west bank, which violates the historical truth. Therefore, no matter how to explain it, there are always flaws and it is difficult to explain it. If we go back to its original historical position now, we will know everything. Of course, there are still many unsolved mysteries that are difficult to explain at the moment, so this clumsy article is written for Fang Jia.
