The historical origin of Yuli

Since ancient times, people in Beichuan have regarded Shi Niu as a holy place. In the Han Dynasty, Shi Niu was under the jurisdiction of the Qiang people, and Fiona Fang was regarded as a holy land because Fiona Fang was afraid to live and graze for hundreds of miles. Criminals sneak into this place, and the court is not allowed to chase them. He was pardoned three years later. Before the Tang Dynasty, there was a temple at the foot of the mountain. On June 6th every year, on Dayu's birthday, people gather in front of the Yu Temple to hold sacrificial activities. Although it has been damaged by military disasters many times, it has become an important duty of local officials to maintain or rebuild temples, and the activities of offering sacrifices to them have never stopped. 1935, the temple in front of the mountain was burned down, and the temple sacrifice was moved to the temple in the mouth of Yuxue ditch.

Legend has it that when Dayu was controlling water, he got the guidance of the gods in his dream, and then carved a stone in Zhurongfeng (also known as Zhurongfeng) in Hengshan Mountain, Hunan Province, giving Yu the way to control water. After the success of water control, Yu hid the book in its original place and covered the hole with huge stones (that is, "in the collection hole"). In order to carve the matter of water control on the stone tablet and stand on Goulou Peak, it is called "Monument", also known as "Yu Monument" and "Dayu Gongde Monument". During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Zong, a native of Yuquan, Chengdu, was stationed in Shiquan, when he met the Qiang people in Beichuan (Bai Caofan) who revolted against the imperial court and wanted to repair the jade palace, so as to realize the method of "turning jade into virtue". "Sichuan Tongzhi" contains "Tadpole characters on the tablet are extended from Hengshan Mountain" and "This is written by Dayu, and the characters are strange and ancient".

Interpreted as:

Emperor Cheng said, "Advisory Wing" assisted Qingzhou, climbed the gate of birds and animals to participate in the torrent, while Farming Sher Nine Brigade forgot to stay at home and stayed at Yuelu to listen to the camp, but it was in vain to make peace. Hua Yuetai Hengzong was unwilling to do anything, tired and depressed, and moved to the south to blaspheme, develop clothes and prepare food for all countries.

There is a postscript at the lower left of the inscription, indicating the source:

"Zhou Junzong, Yuquan, Chengdu, kept Shiquan and passed Zhongyang Academy. He said: Wang Yu Temple is going to be built, and the wish of carving stone tablets has not been realized. Give it to Hengshan's collection. □ Shiquan Mountain is the source of jade. Today is a temple for it, and it can be said that it is interested in the past. Yesterday, Yu Shizhen's brigade was thirty years old. Zhou Jun's original intention was not to change Xiu De's face, but to look good in the temple! Because of the spirit of Shi Niu, I think it is different! However, the trace of Yu is still not obvious. Nowadays, the jade tablet has been won, and the ancient Chinese calligraphy tadpole is in sight. If you write a book, you will show your heart. God is changing, so he can't hide. For thousands of years, the seekers have disappeared and mourned every time; Zhou Jun got it once, so he carved it to strengthen the spirit of the stone. Isn't it Zishan's adventure! To Jia Zhoujun's ambition, I explained his writing in the past and wrote this book, thinking that the world is full of clouds. "

There is also an inscription: "The first inscription of Emperor Gengshen of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty was written by Gao Jiandun, a former official scholar and secretary of literary selection. Zhao Chenxun, a thousand families in Lizhou, Shiquan City, was inspected for stone carving.

1935, the red army carved two lines of slogans on the tablet, and then the Sichuan army sent people to shovel them off, resulting in most of the inscriptions being damaged. Now there are only 25 words, sporadic explanations and postscript (the remnant tablet is now hidden in Dayu Memorial Hall). Today, according to the original rubbings, a "swastika" stands in front of Wang Yu Temple at the mouth of Fish Cave.

The square of "Shen Yu's Hometown" crosses the bridge from Yuli (the former county town) to the south, and walks about 300 meters along Beimao Highway to Qushan, which is the square of "Shen Yu's Hometown" restored and rebuilt by the county people's government 19 1. This workshop was originally built by Jiang in Shiquan County in the thirty-third year of Qing Qianlong (1768). It is a wooden structure building, which stands in a deep pit at the foot of Shi Niu Mountain (about 1000 meters from the reconstruction site to Qushan Mountain). There are "Shen Yu's hometown" inscribed by Jiang and couplets: "The village saints are full of emperors, and historical sites are often new in history. Zi Zhiping produces stones like blood and purple, so it is a big ancient book. " The original workshop was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.

On the cliffs of Ganquan and Niu Shan across the river, the word "Ganquan" is engraved on the cliff in regular script. There is a spring pool next to it, with clear water, warm in winter and cool in summer, and continuous seasons. According to legend, the female Di () dived into the spring water at the foot of the mountain at dusk, and the moon in the water was as thin as a chicken egg. She couldn't put it down, swallowed it unconsciously, and got pregnant. In April, she gave birth to Yu Xia. According to legend, the county name of Shiquan County is named after the "stone" in Shi Niu and the "spring" in Ganquan.

The oath water column is located on the bank of the 45-step river in the west of the county seat. The stone pillar is one foot high and five feet in circumference. I am afraid that the water will rush to the county to stop it. (Qingganlong Edition "Shiquan County Records") is engraved with the word 12, which is an insect seal. The Song Dynasty's "Spring Flower Pavilion Post" is interpreted as "sending Nie Zixing to Ji Qichun to be frugal", and its meaning is hard to understand. It is said that Dayu issued a wanted order when he was in charge of water control. There are no stone pillars left today.

Wang Chong is in the east of today's Yuli County. The mountain peaks soar into the sky. According to legend, Chongbo (Yu Fumo) went out to control water all the year round and never came back. The virgin misses him. He often climbs the mountain to see the fish coming back. At that time, there were lush trees on the top of the mountain, blocking the view. The virgin sighed, "if only there were no such a big tree!" " As soon as the voice fell, a strong wind suddenly blew over the tall trees in front of the mountain, and only shrubs and flowers grew in front of the mountain. So "Wang Zhongshan".

Yuxuegou is located 10 km north of Yuli. There is Qingsigou in Xuefu, which is a canyon several kilometers long. The cliffs in the ditch are towering and the peaks are sandwiched, forming two mysterious color screens. On the top of the tree, there are several branches, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the silver waterfall is flying and the smoke is lingering; Gully creek strikes rhyme, blood and stone flow; Bamboo and wood forests on both sides of the strait are interwoven with Gu Teng. A school of rich primitive natural scenery. Because of the "Yudian" stone carving, it is called "Yudian Groove".

It is said that Yuxuegou is the birthplace of Dayu. Yang Xiong's Biography of the King of Shu is contained in Niu, the place name Jingerping. Xi 'erping is located at the foot of the fifth peak of Jiulong Mountain. Its land is "slightly flat and wide, and there are traces on the stone, which looks like people sitting and lying down. According to legend, it is the remains of the Virgin Mary "(Sichuan Tongzhi). Along the stream of Xi 'erping, there is a huge stone that looks like a basin. Its "water color is golden red, and the four seasons remain unchanged. Legend has it that the mother bathed her children after her birthday (Beichuan County Records of the Republic of China), hence the name. In the stream below the children's pool, "there are many white stones that are soaked in blood and can't be scraped off." According to legend, Yu Sheng has the daughter of the Xin family, and the stone is covered with blood stains "(new version of the Golden Calendar).

Wang Yu Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Yu Temple was built at the foot of Shi Niu Shan. After many repairs and reconstructions, Wang Yu Temple was built at the mouth of Fish Cave in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. Ten years of Daoguang Qing Dynasty (1832), Zhao Linde in Shiquan County was rebuilt. 1935 after the burning of the mountain temple, the folk activities of offering sacrifices to Yu were concentrated in the temple in Mizoguchi. The enthusiasm of folk sacrifice to Dayu is growing, and the Yu Palace built on the left bank of Mishigou in Qushan County has begun to take shape and is full of incense. Wang Yu Temple was also built on the site of the East Moon Palace, opposite the Yuli Township Government, on the left side of Shi Niu.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yu Temple or Wang Yu Palace has been built successively in Xianba, Piankou, Qushan, Chenjiaba and Tongkou towns, serving as places for local local governors and folk sacrifices to Dayu.

199 1 year, the first Dayu memorial hall in China was built in Zhicheng (now Yuli), Beichuan County, where Dayu was born.
