About the history of coconut carving

Tracing the history

Hainan coconut carving can be traced back to the first year of Xuanzong in the middle Tang Dynasty (847), "Guangdong Notes" records:

Hainan Coconut Sculpture

When Li Deyu was exiled to Yazhou, he sawed coconut shells into ladles, spoons, bowls and cups for eating and drinking utensils. Lu Guimeng, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem about "disinfecting a coconut cup full of wine", which shows that coconut shells have been used to disinfect and prevent miasma and have been made into daily necessities for at least 1,100 years. By the Song Dynasty, coconut bowls, cups, and coconut pots with exquisite craftsmanship had become popular at the banquets of scholar-bureaucrats.

"Zhengde Qiongtai Chronicles" records: In the fourth year of Shaosheng of the Song Dynasty (1097), Su Dongpo was exiled to Dan'er (today's Zhonghe Town, Dan County) and once took coconut shells and asked local artists to carve them into coconut hats, which is called coconut hats. "Coconut Crown" has the poem "Invite drunken guests from the drizzle, and even give the empty shell to the crown master".

3. What is the history of Hongyadong in Chongqing? Can someone tell me about it?

When it comes to Hongyadong, all mountain city residents are familiar with it. It is currently the only cultural landscape of an old mountain city in the main urban area of ??Chongqing. , its unique stilted buildings fascinate Chinese and foreign tourists. Chongqing’s business card is Millennium Hongya Cave. Hongya Cave is located next to Cangbai Road in Yuzhong District, Chongqing and has a history of more than 2,300 years.

When talking about Hongya Cave, we have to mention the history of Chongqing City Gate!

Chongqing City has a long history of besieging and building gates, which can be traced back to the Warring States Period. In 314 BC, Qin general Zhang Yi built Ba County after destroying the Ba Kingdom. The Chaotian Gate built is the most typical example. Chaotianmen is the place where officials of past dynasties received the emperor's imperial edicts. It was named because the emperor was called the Son of Heaven in ancient times.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Chongqing guard Dai Ding built Chongqing City and built seventeen gates, nine of which were open and eight were closed. Hongya Gate was closed. It is built with a tower and looks like a gate, but there is no gate. In the old days of Chongqing, there were many stilted buildings densely arranged on the mountain walls, which were prone to fires. Fire prevention has always been a priority in Chongqing. The eight closed city gates are all smaller "dry" gates farther away from the river, corresponding to fires. The nine city gates near the river correspond to "water". The water gate is open and the dry gate is closed, which means that water can defeat fire, showing the good wishes of the people of Chongqing at that time.

There used to be a small stream on Hongyadong. The stream originated from Daliangzi (now Xinhua Road) in the city, passed through Dayanggou and Huixian Bridge to Hongyadong, and fell from the cliff. Form a waterfall. "The cliffs dripping with greenery" have always been a major landscape in Chongqing. Later, when all the trees in the city were cut down and the population increased, the creek became a sewage ditch. Instead of being green, there was a sewage "waterfall" hanging on the cliff.

After liberation, the piers along the river, especially Linjiangmen and Qiansimen piers, gradually declined, and Hongyadong gradually lost its former liveliness. The stilted building experienced decades of wind and rain and became a dilapidated building.

The construction of Jialing River Binjiang Road has completely changed the appearance of both sides of the river, and the shabby houses in Hongyadong have also been demolished. Relocation began in 1995, formal construction began in 2001, and was fully completed in 2006. This has become a food and leisure street with Chongqing characteristics. The antique stilted buildings, built one after another against the mountains, have become a new attraction in Chongqing.

The "Hongyadong Folk Customs Area" project is one of the "Eight Major Popular Projects" in Chongqing in 2005, with a total area of ??46,000 square meters.

It is also the reception room of the Liberation Monument. As a rare characteristic landscape in the mountain city, Hongya Cave has become the city's most recognized city card. How to make its features more comprehensive and more beautiful has become a question for the relevant departments to consider adding another scenic water cave into one. After this study, the relevant departments decided to build a leisure waterfront platform on the Jialing River on the basis of the completion of the existing Hongyadong project, so that it can be integrated with Hongyadong to achieve the effect of connecting the mountains and rivers. It is understood that the proposed project. The total length of the overhead platform is 200.70 meters, the width is 9.00-12.00 meters, and the elevation is 181.90 meters and 182.20 meters.

Six arc-shaped viewing platforms will be built on the side of the platform facing the river. Afterwards, tourists can reach the river directly from Hongyadong, which will completely change the shoreline landscape of the Hongyadong section of the Jialing River.

Chengzi Mountain is named after the ancient city built on the mountain. Surrounding the top of the mountain are city temples built with stone, about 4.5 kilometers long. There are palace ruins in the middle, and many cultural relics of the Eastern Xia Dynasty have been unearthed. The end of Jin Dynasty was the site of Nanjing of the Eastern Xia Kingdom. The city wall is built of stone according to the mountain topography and is in an irregular oval shape, with a base width of 5 to 7 meters, a height of 1 to 3 meters, and a circumference of 44.54 meters.

The terrain in the city is open, and there is a palace site on the gentle slope in the center of the city. It is a staircase with up to 9 steps. Each step is about 10 meters wide and 17 meters long, with foundation stones arranged on it. The foundation stones are arranged in a rectangular plane and are relatively rough in processing.

It is also believed to be the Great Wall of the Jin Dynasty or the Great Wall of the Goguryeo Period. 6. History of Xianyi Pass in Longzhou

The Guanshan Ancient Road was a passage for ancient people to cross Guanshan (i.e. Longshan) and connect the Central Plains and the Western Regions. It is divided into three lines: Qinjiayuan Ancient Road, Xianyi Pass Road and Guanlong Avenue.

Among them, it goes west from Long County through Xianyi Village, splits into the ditch at the entrance of Yafu Gorge, and travels all the way through Ma'anzi, Luotuo Lane, Guimenguan to Caizi River, and then passes through Yichenggou to Changningyi. Pass by Beizhiliang all the way, exit Heigou and connect with Nanzhaipu. Xianyi Pass Road was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and is the latest among the three main roads. According to the research of Tianshui scholar Zhao Jianping, although this road is "convenient", the river valley and cross-ridge sections are very difficult and dangerous, and the road only plays a limited role in connecting the regional economy.

When the Qin people moved eastward, they passed through Guanshan and reached Guanzhong. This process happens to be the formation process of the Guanshan Ancient Road. The famous Miwei Meeting in history is one of the powerful evidences. The general route of the famous Western Tour of Qin Shihuang in history was to leave Xianyang, leave Long County, and reach today's Pingliang area in Gansu Province. This also laid the foundation for the formation of the Guanshan Ancient Road to a large extent. Moreover, this route is precisely the middle section of the Guanshan Ancient Road that was later formed.

The Han Dynasty and the subsequent Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the era when the Guanshan Ancient Road truly took shape. During this period, the Guanshan Ancient Road became one of the important components of the ancient Silk Road. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, from the time Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went hunting in the Longshan area in 609 to the collapse of Longshan's famous pass in 852, it was the most prosperous period of the Guanshan Ancient Road. The Sui and Tang dynasties were the most prosperous eras of feudal social economy in ancient China. The Qingming politics and developed economy provided strong support for the development of transportation, and the Guanshan Ancient Road became an important transportation center.

The Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties following the Sui and Tang Dynasties were a period when the Guanshan Ancient Road went from prosperity to decline. During this period, it was not only due to the relatively southward shift of the national economic center of gravity, but also to the frequent long-term wars in Guanshan, which caused damage to the ancient roads to a certain extent. 7. What is the history of the hanging coffin?

The hanging coffin is one of the burial styles of the ancient ethnic minorities in southern China.

It is a kind of cliff burial. Drill several holes in the cliff and nail wooden stakes, and place the coffin on top; or place one end of the coffin in the cliff hole and put the other end on the wooden stakes nailed on the cliff.

People can see the coffin under the cliff, hence the name. The word "hanging coffin" comes from the words of King Gu Ye (519~581) during the Liang Dynasty: "In the house of the Earth Immortal, there are thousands of hanging coffins on the half cliff" (quoted in Volume 47 of "Taiping Yulan").

In 1946, when Chinese scholars inspected the hanging coffin burials in Gong County and Xingwen, Sichuan, they first used this word as a proper name. Hanging coffin burials are found throughout Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Anhui and other provinces. They are mainly found in the Wuyishan area of ??Fujian and Gongxian, Xingwen, Junlian, Zhenxiong, etc. at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. and other counties.

Coexisting with the hanging coffin burials in Gong County are cliff paintings. County coffins found in various places have different burial objects and ages.

Many boat-shaped coffins are dug out of whole wood from the Wuyishan area of ??Fujian Province. They belong to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The funerary objects found in the hanging coffins on the white cliffs in this area include turtle-shaped wooden plates, fragments of hemp, ramie, silk and cotton textiles, and broken bamboo mats.

Most of the rectangular coffins in Gongxian and Xingwen areas of Sichuan are made of whole wood and have a herringbone sloping lid. They belong to the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The funerary objects in the hanging coffins in Luobiao, Gongxian County are mainly clothes, which are decorated with intricate decorations. The bamboo chopsticks that were buried with them were written with Chinese characters.

The hanging coffin burial project is difficult, dangerous and expensive, and it is mainly popular among the nobles.

8. The history of Huayue Xianzhang

Xianzhang Cliff is located on the east peak of Huashan Mountain and refers to the east cliff of Dongshi Peak. Natural wind and rain erosion have created a hand-shaped stone pattern on the cliff, which is tens of meters high, has five distinct fingers, and has a vivid and lifelike image; it is known as the Huayue Celestial Palm. Because of its magnificent hall, it is listed as the first of the famous "Eight Scenic Spots in Guanzhong" in Shaanxi.

The Huayue Cactus is best viewed from a distance. When you enter Tongguan and enter Shaanxi and look at the Qinling Mountains, it is the first thing you see. Every sunny morning, the palm prints stand tall and majestic like plated red gold, with a magnificent brilliance that astonishes all viewers. On the way to the mountain, you can also see cactus up close at Canglong Ridge, Wuyun Peak and other places, but the effect is not as good as seeing it from a distance.

There are many myths and legends about Huayue Cactus in the past dynasties. There are two main opinions. It is said that in ancient times, Shouyang Mountain and Huashan Mountain in the east of the Yellow River and Shanxi Province have been in continuous contact with each other for many years, and the people of Li were miserable. The giant river god felt sorry for the suffering in the world, so he pushed Huashan Mountain with his hands and stepped on Shouyang Mountain with his feet, causing the earth's axis to break, the mountain ridge to split, one mountain to move into two, and the river to rush eastward from between the two mountains. From then on, the fingerprints of the Giant Spirit God Tuishan remained at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.

The Buddhist book "Fa Yuan Zhu Lin" written by Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty contains a different theory. It is said that in ancient times, the heaven and earth were chaotic, and mountains and seas were connected. In the Taihang, Wangwu and Huashan areas, the Bailu River gathered water and caused disasters, which was called the West Sea. In order to control the flood, the giant spirit Qin Honghai held Hua Mountain with his left hand and stepped on the middle bar with his right foot, causing the mountain and sea to split and the river to flow out of the earth, thus leaving palm and footprints.

It is also said that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to Huashan Mountain, he admired the merits of the Giant Spirit God and built the Giant Spirit Cave at the foot of the Mountain. Historical records also record that in the first year of Chui Gong of the Tang Dynasty (685), the magistrate of Huayin County wanted to use the name of Muyi Palm to promote Huayin, so he proposed to change Huayin County to Xianzhang County.

The ancients had many poems and poems about cacti, all of which were filled with witty remarks. Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty's poem "Huayue" said:

I heard in the past that the universe was closed and giant spirits were born.

The right foot is used to step on the square, and the left foot is used to push it.

The sky and the earth suddenly opened up, and the great river poured into the eastern sky.

Then it became Xizhiyue, a majestic town in Qinjing.

Liu Xiang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem called "Ode to the Immortal Palm":

The eternal pavilions lean against the blue sky, and they cannot be carved or moved.

How to collect water from Tianchi and sprinkle it on the world to save drought seedlings.

It is said that Liu Xiang later became famous for this poem and was called Liu Xianzhang. Secondly, Tang Yu? "Ode to Immortal Palm" by Guan Tu and "Ode to Taihua by Giant Spirits" by Guan Tu are both soul-stirring masterpieces with one chant and three sighs. Today, there is a palm-viewing platform at the Wuyunfeng intersection in Huashan Mountain, protected by stone railings and iron cables, which provides convenience for tourists to watch the palms. Many tourists take photos here.
