Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know, you are misleading me

Eight ancient sceneries in front of the camp

During the ancient economic prosperity period of Hakka Gannan, it was known as " It is said that "it is in front of the third camp of Ermenling on the Tangjiang River". "Tou Tangjiang" refers to Tangjiang Town, which, besides Ganzhou City, has the most trade exchanges with neighboring countries and the deepest connection with the Meiguan Ancient Road. Its northern end connects Suichuan, Nankang, Longmu, Hengshi, Mashuang, The ancient post road all the way from Shibatang connects Hunan Guidong, Shangyou Wuzhifeng, Yingqian, Dongshan, and Nankang Longhua to the west. If you go to Long and Ganzhou, you can also go south by water to Sanjiang (or dry road), Rongjiang, Pushi, Qinglong, Nan'an, and go up Meiguan to the south of Guangdong. There are hundreds of villages and towns within a hundred miles, with hundreds of thousands of homes and merchants coming and going, which naturally establishes Tangjiang Town's prominent position as the first important commercial town. "Yingqian" ranks third in commercial status. It not only has the geographical advantage of being crisscrossed by waterways and land and extending in all directions, but also has its historical reasons - Yingqian Town has been a tourist attraction since the time of Lu Guangchou, the Jiedushi envoy of Qianzhou in the late Tang Dynasty. It is an important military area. During Wang Yangming's period, military camps and Caijia City were built here, hence the term "camp front".

The ancient name of Yingqian is Yingxi. After Lu Guangchou's troops stationed troops and cultivated fields here at the end of the Tang Dynasty, merchants began to interact with each other, and economic and trade began. As time went by, stretches of stalls were formed in front of the barracks. From then on, this "stall area" bordered by Xiangchu in the west, Suichuan in the north, Tangjiang River in the south, and connected by boat to Ninghang became a place for soldiers and civilians to go to the market. The "Yingqian Market" in front of the barracks has since then Got its name. In 1957, Doushui Lake was formed, flooding part of the ancient ruins, and then extended to the south end of the ruins, forming a new "Yingqian ruins" at the location of today's market town. This preserved part of Yingqian Ruins is called "Yingqian Yingqian" by Yingqian people, which means the Yingqian Ruins before today's Yingqian Town. This ancient street with a strong Hakka charm is similar to the arcades along Yangming Road in Ganzhou. It shows an obvious southern Cantonese architectural style, with black tiles and gray bricks, wooden doors and wooden windows, stilted buildings facing the street, and workshops, residences or backyards inside the shops. , the deep courtyard exudes the deep Hakka style. According to historical records, Yingqian Market flourished in the Ming Dynasty, prospered in the Qing Dynasty, and declined in the middle of the Republic of China. On the second, fifth and eighth market days, more than 30,000 people visit the market on these market days. The bustling scene is amazing. Even if you don’t shop, you will be fascinated by the scene. It is said that at that time, there were Wanshou Palace, gambling dens, opium dens, taverns, teahouses, hotels, brothels (bed and board shops), banks, docks, inns, gold and silver processing shops, salt shops, pawn shops, There are coffin shops, dyehouses, photo studios, Nanzao shops, earthen paper shops, firecracker shops, tofu shops and other shops in rows and rows, but on market days, Yingqian Street is crowded with people, shouting and noisy. The commotion lasted for a long time after noon, reflecting the profound commercial culture in front of the camp, and it has also become a museum in today's traditional Hakka market town in southern Jiangxi.

In fact, the most touching thing is not only the business prosperity in front of the camp, but the "eight sceneries" culture in front of the camp that every young and old can talk about. Since Su Dongpo and Yang Xiao originally lived in Shangyou, recited poems about the "Eight Scenes" of Shilou and created the "Eight Scenes Culture", Shangyou pursued elegance and became the county with the most extensive and profound influence of the Eight Scenes Culture in southern Jiangxi. Almost every A literate person can recite a few lines of Eight Scenery Poems. Undoubtedly, the Eight Scenic Spots culture has been developed and inherited to its greatest extent in Shangyou, and the Eight Scenic Spots in Yingqian are the best representatives. There are three or four versions of the Eight Scenic Spots in Yingqian that were formed at the same time as the Eight Scenic Spots of the Qing Dynasty in Ganzhou. The more commonly accepted ones are: the ancient pine trees in Xianyan Rock, the sound of wonderful bells, the sound of piano under the pagoda, the beauty of books on peaks, the appearance of chess in the mountains, the scenery of city towers and mountains, the floating tide at night, and the singing of banana trees at night.

Xianyan ancient pine. It is said that 8 kilometers away from Shijie Road from the ancient ruins to Guidong, there is a fairy cave with an ancient pine on the cave. This ancient east-west road is the link between the economy and culture of Gan and Chu. In the past, people walked on the stone street. After passing the magical stone statue of "Stone Man Emerging from Shixi River", they could look at the vigorous ancient pines standing on the immortal rock from a distance. This road was actually accompanied by the scenery. .

Today, the stone street is disabled, the stone figures have disappeared, and the ancient pines have died. Only the eternal fairy rocks still guard this ancient road.

Wonderful bells. Miaole Temple, built in the Ming Dynasty, is located on the bank of Yunshui River about 1 km east of the market. There is a long bridge on the side that leads to Jiaoli Chongyi. It was flooded in 1957. There was a famous couplet in Miao Le Temple: "Where does the beauty come from? Silent, colorless and sightless; where is the joy? There are bells, drums and articles." It not only cleverly embeds the name "Miao Le" in it, but also easily The tunnel reveals the quiet holy place of the ancient temple and the feelings of the eminent monks. It is said that the couplet was written by Master Yuanming (also known as Monk Gouzi), a former Gongsheng student of the Qing Dynasty and the then vice president of the Jiangxi Buddhist Association. Miaole Temple is directly opposite Wenfeng Pagoda across the river, and it forms a triangle with Juling to the south. Back then, every time the Sanskrit tone of the big bell of Miaole Temple sounded, its beautiful mysterious sound could reach dozens of miles away.

The fishermen sing in the banana ridge. It immediately reminds people of the ancient artistic conception of "fishing boats singing late". Sure enough, under the Wenfeng Pagoda located downstream of Miaole Temple is the most wonderful place where the Yunshui River meanders. It is like looking at the "Chutan Dawn Mirror" from the Bajing Terrace in Ganzhou. The river here is wide and clear, and there are fishing fires at night. The waves are shining, the fishermen in the boat sing fairy songs, and lightly cast their fishing nets, and a picture of the leisurely and comfortable life of the fishermen is vividly presented. Even today, this scene still exists. It can be seen that this poetic artistic conception derived from nature and life cannot be eliminated casually.

The sound of the piano under the tower. Data records that in the fourth year of Tianbao, Houlong Wenguang came to the camp. After admiring the mountains and waters here, he lamented that Dongfang Wenfeng was low and hidden, and advocated the two surnames Chen and Cai to raise funds to build a pagoda on the top of Dongshan 2.5 kilometers to the east to promote prosperity. Literary spirit. After the pagoda was built, the villagers felt the guidance of Duke Huai Long, so they called the pagoda Longgong Pagoda and Wenfeng Pagoda. Longgong Pagoda is 25 meters high and has seven floors. There are 100 stone brick steps running up the wall, with three caves on each floor. From the pagoda, you can have a panoramic view of the nine-curved landscape in front of the camp. "Looking down at the condensed clouds and water with fluttering jade ribbons, playing the piano and drums or competing with the roar of the clouds and water," there is a beautiful saying that "the pagoda is noisy with the music of the piano and the water." . After the Wenfeng Pagoda was completed, the people in front of the camp began to flourish. The most famous one is that in the 24th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Qian of the Cai family of the Imperial Academy came out.

Shu Feng Yuxiu. Shufeng is the highest peak in front of the camp. It is located 4-5 kilometers away from Laoxu. The mountain is majestic, towering and beautiful, and the hills are clustered together, making it shaped like a pen stand. In the late Tang Dynasty, Lu Guangchou, the governor of Qianzhou, once built "Taifu Academy" on the mountain. A few years ago, the old site of the "Zi Paper Tower" was left, and the villagers still respect it. They will worship it every solar term. Every time the geography teacher does his homework, he will use the calligraphy peak to set the direction, in an attempt to absorb some of the spirit of the calligraphy peak. There are several families living on the mountain. In one of the pools, there are huge bricks sunk into the water. There are giant maples and red leaves fluttering nearby. The former site of the academy is hidden deep among the tall grass.

The chess piece appears on the mountain, this is a scene full of mythical consciousness. Juling is 857 meters high and is located 10 kilometers southeast of Laoxu. It is the boundary barrier between Chong (Jieba) and You (Yingqian) counties. The foothills of Juling are as flat as a qin platform, like a grassland. There is a large flat stone with crisscross ribs on the stone, which looks like a chessboard. According to legend, two gods played chess here, so it was called Qiling. Later, it was later called Juling. There is a poem that praises: "The mountains are covered with green smoke, and the majestic sword is entangled with momentum. I heard that the Yi people are returning, and they are suspected to be the first immortal of Penglai." There are traces of battlefields on the mountain, and people in front of the camp often contacted He Asi, a rebel of the Qing Dynasty. Up, He had activities in Chongyi. Throughout Shangyou territory, there were "Yang Fairy helped He A to raise his troops", "Swords to test the edge", "Bamboo knots to hide soldiers", "Stone drums and stone gongs to help" and "Lion Elephant Mountain came out". The legend of "Emperor".

The towers and mountains are beautiful. It refers to the south gate of Caijia City in front of the camp. Observing the colors of the mountains and water in front of the camp under the moonlight in the morning, dusk and night shows different scenes. Naturally, you can watch the sunrise in the morning and watch the smoke from the cooking pots, watch the sunset and the geese falling in the evening, and watch the moonlight melting into the osmanthus at night. The scenes at different times are different and beautiful. The mountains such as Shufeng and Juling will appear colorful in the three time and spaces. of magnificence. The south gate of Caijiacheng is right in front of the gate of today's Yingqian Middle School. There is a Confucian Temple left in the Qing Dynasty inside Yingqian Middle School, which was also the defense line of the Red Army's West Route Army Training Team during the Soviet area (a large number of Red Army slogans still exist). Today, Caijia City has long been destroyed, and the south gate has become a common place. Only by reverie can the scenery of "city towers and mountains" be restored.

The moon is floating on the tide night.

Floating tides are a wonder. Shangwan Village, 0.5 kilometers south of Laoxu, faces the Yunshui River. In ancient times, there was a giant banyan tree with well-developed roots. One of its branches extended to the other side of the river. Pedestrians used its roots as a bridge to travel. When the water rises, it floats, and it can always carry pedestrians across it. Therefore, this place was called "Floating Bridge", and later it was later called "Floating Tide". The bridge of floating roots facilitated pedestrians, but blocked the row of boats. The angry boatman first cut it in the middle. Soon the tree roots grew again, so the boatman chopped both ends of the bridge, finally breaking the bridge of floating roots. The tree became an ordinary banyan tree. More than 20 meters across the pontoon bridge, there is a small well one meter wide and eighty centimeters deep. It is extremely clear and the moon can be seen melting in it all year round. Legend has it that once, a general passed by the well and was surprised to find that there was actually melted moon in it. Three moons appeared, which was so magical that all the officers and soldiers admired it. From then on, this scenery was called "Floating Bridge Night Moon".

If the "Eight Scenes" in front of the camp, which still have ancient customs, embody a kind of prosperity and culture, then the "Nine Lions Worshiping Elephants" in front of the camp (ancient meaning means high school officials) The large-scale lantern dance conveys a strong Hakka style. This kind of light dance is not only majestic, but also has profound meaning. The entire lantern consists of a dragon, nine lions, an elephant and a unicorn, plus a number of lanterns, gongs, drums and colorful pavilions. The dragons are mostly divided into nine to eleven sections, and the longest section is ninety-nine. The number of performers can reach up to ten thousand people. The band is composed of folk wind instruments and percussion instruments, with powerful, warm and melodious tunes. The Hakka people and customs in front of the camp, the Hakka cultural heritage in front of the camp, and the ancient Central Plains civilization preserved by the Hakkas are second to none in southern Jiangxi. Therefore, the "Nine Lions Worshiping Elephants" large-scale lantern dance, which symbolizes the renewal of everything, the joy of Kyushu, and the celebration of peace, stirs up a strong Hakka style with a powerful force and intoxicates countless Hakka descendants.
