Photographers shooting ancient pagodas talk about copywriting.

I sent it to my beloved wife, thinking of sadness, while I was suffering alone, often haunted by dreams and unforgettable. I was so proud that I forgot my thoughts for a while and got rid of Wushan Feiyun.

I believe friends who have seen the harem know that this poem was written by Yong Zhengdi when his father Zhen Yuandao in Zhen Xuan was exiled to Ningguta. Of course, we are not here to talk about this poem today, nor about Yongzheng and Zhen Xuan, but about what is often mentioned in the dramas of the Qing Dynasty? Exile Ningguta? ! What is this Gu Ning Baota? Why does the emperor always like to send people to Gu Ning Baota!

First of all, I want to tell you, the so-called? Ningguta? Not a tower, although I always thought it was a tower. Ningguta is actually a place name and a region. Its location is the land of Longxing in Qing Dynasty!

1; Where the hell is Ningguta? How far is it?

Why are the prisoners in the story frightened when they hear that they have been exiled to Ningguta? This has to start from the environment at that time. Let's not talk about what Ningguta really has, and why it makes prisoners feel horrible. Let's talk about the location of Ningguta first!

Ningguta is actually divided into new and old cities. The old city is on the left bank of Songhua River, today's Old Town Village, Changting Town, hailin city, Heilongjiang Province; The new city is today's Ning 'an, Heilongjiang! The new old city is not far, only 25 kilometers, but it is far from Beijing!

How far is it from Beijing? According to today's distance and traffic, it's actually not bad. According to the map, if the whole city is elevated, the shortest distance is 1430.8 km, and the driving time is 16 hours and 23 minutes.

I tried to choose the way of walking again, but the navigation ignored me at all, and the result was that I couldn't calculate the distance. I checked the information on the internet again. Some say it's more than 3,000 Li, while others say it's more than 4,000 Li. Let's say three or four thousand miles.

The ministers of the Qing emperor went out in a sedan chair and a carriage. People with better conditions can ride horses, and ordinary people can only measure the earth with their legs. So think about it, it takes 30 kilometers a day from Beijing to Ningguta, and it takes more than 100 days to get to Ningguta. Coupled with the stormy weather on the road, it will take several days, so it is estimated to take half a year.

Maybe spring started, but it didn't come until autumn. Besides, these roads are not all official roads, but also some country roads and Shan Ye's rugged journey in the forest. It's okay if you can walk to Ningguta alive without illness or disaster. In fact, many people simply do not complete the journey, and often leave soon, and life is on the road.

2. How to survive in Ningguta?

Some friends may ask, what are these prisoners doing after being exiled to Ningguta?

Because Ningguta is a remote and backward place, there are many places waiting for reclamation and development. So many people are assigned to farm, burn charcoal, enclosure and so on. Actually, this is not bad. The worst thing is that many people go to be slaves to the real people!

What's to say here? Armor man? ? Armored man is the enemy who fought against the Qing Dynasty. Later, when he was captured, he had to go into battle and kill the enemy for the Qing Dynasty. What's it called? Armor man? . Their status is very low, even lower than the soldiers at the bottom of the Qing army. Even the pawns who cook and raise horses in the Qing army can be uncles in front of armored people. Who let them be prisoners?

When more prisoners are exiled to Ningguta, someone will hand them over to the armored people as slaves. Boy, being a slave to a man of status, this is the court's attention to the real people. Obviously not, but simply let the people who make mistakes live a life that is worse than death. Slaves are actually no different from cattle, sheep and horses, even worse than livestock. In the icy northeast, livestock can be kept in sheds, grazing and taking a nap. Slaves are dying. They have to work. The real people have no extra food to support idle people, so many slaves are tortured to death.

3. Is there no way to live in Ningguta?

Having said that, everyone should know something about Gu Ning Baota, so some friends may ask again. Is there only a dead end when we get to Gu Ning Baota, and there is no other way out?

Not all of them, of course. Some people have a good life after arriving at Ningguta. As mentioned above, Ningguta is located in a wild place, isolated from the outside world, so the locals will still give preferential treatment to those with culture and technology. Especially exiled literati.

Among the exiled literati, there are many celebrities. For example, the famous poet Wu Zhaoqian. Wu Zhaoqian is from Songling Town, Wujiang City. Today's Wujiang District of Suzhou City is very famous as a teenager!

Shunzhi 14 was implicated in the fraud case in the examination hall and exiled to Ningguta for 23 years. What can such a gentle scholar do when he goes to Ningguta? You can't talk about it behind your back. So when I first arrived at Ningguta, Wu Zhaoqian was also confused. The thought that he might be here in his life made him extremely depressed and depressed.

However, the local people respect him very much. It seems that our Chinese nation has always attached great importance to scholars. Local government officials are also more polite to Wu Zhaoqian. They didn't give him any punishment, but let him move freely. Later, Wu Zhaoqian developed his specialty and taught others to read. He was also employed as a tutor by General Ningguta to teach his two children.

In addition to Wu Zhaoqian, there are literati Zhang Jian, Buddhist Han Ke and others. After that, these exiled literati often got together to write poems. Facing the beautiful scenery beyond the Great Wall, Wu Zhaoqian later wrote poems "Kandelia Collection" and "Going Home". It can be said that it is quite good!

The above is the literati, and the following is the craftsman. When YueYang, a native of Shaoxing, first arrived at Ningguta, he only had a few clothes and a few silver dollars. Even eating is a problem, but YueYang is a very clever man, so he and his wife got raw materials and made a cake in his hometown Shaoxing and sold it. There is nothing delicious in this border area, so the cakes made by YueYang are very popular, and there are many people in front of the door every day. He used the money he earned to buy food and later became quite rich.

4. Qing Di's mind!

The land area of the Qing Dynasty was larger than it is now, and the population was smaller than it is now. Why did Shunzhi exile the prisoner to Ningguta? In fact, these are all carefully designed by emperors.

Because Ningguta is the hometown of Manchu, the place where Manchu became rich. Although it entered the Central Plains, the Manchu government never gave up their hometown. With more and more people coming to Ningguta, some of the original systems were slowly changed, and slaves and coolies were slowly abolished. More people participated in the local economic construction, and Ningguta became prosperous. Some local specialties, such as ginseng, mink and velvet antler, have also begun to trade in the market.

Therefore, the later Guning Pagoda is completely different from the earlier one. Exiles brought the cultural knowledge, handicrafts and farming of the Central Plains to Guning Baota, which made the originally wild and backward border land prosperous. The most direct feeling is that people's lives are better!

5: Today's Ningguta!

Nowadays, Ningguta has become a scenic spot, a place that made people tremble 300 years ago. Now it has pleasant scenery and many historical sites. Also, the arrival of a large number of tourists has promoted the local economic development!

In the long river of history, many things are only fleeting. Just like Chen Jiayou, who was first exiled to Ningguta in those years, who still remembers him now. Ningguta is not what it used to be.
