Appreciation of Mr. Yan's ancestral temple

Liu Yazi, a modern poet in Yan Ziling, is a famous historical figure. There is a poem "Feeling for Chairman Mao", which contains the sentence "Andrew's South Expedition is a good news, and the lake is Zi Ling Beach". Zi Ling Beach tells the story of Yan Ziling, an aristocratic scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who lived in seclusion in Shan Ye and fished by Fuchun River. Yan Ziling's hometown is Yuyao, Ningbo, Zhejiang. Yan Ziling (37-43 BC) was born in Yuyao at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. When I was a teenager, I went to study abroad. I am diligent, knowledgeable and versatile, and my character is honest and frank. At school, Liu Xiu, a native of Nanyang, is a classmate. They discussed Austria's mission during the day and slept at night, forming a deep friendship. At that time, due to the corruption of the imperial court, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and the red eyebrows and green forests rebelled one after another. Seeing the chaos in the world, Yan Ziling returned to Yuyao and could not live in seclusion. Later, Liu Xiu unified the world and became an emperor, that is, Guangwudi, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Knowing Yan Ziling's talent, Emperor Guangwu sent someone to look for him. He was seen fishing in the Zehe River in a fur coat. Emperor Guangwu hurriedly sent messengers, prepared splendid chariots and horses, and invited him to be an official in the DPRK, but he was rejected three times in succession. Guangwudi had no choice but to invite him to his residence in person. Unexpectedly, he couldn't get up in bed. Guangwudi came to him, caressed his stomach and said, "You freak, won't you help me govern the world?" He sat up and replied, "In the past, Emperor Yao was so talented, and hermits like Chao Fu didn't want to go out to be an official. Scholars have their own interests. Why do you have to force me to enter the official career? " Emperor Guangwu shook his head and said, "Zi Ling, can't I convince you after all?" However, Emperor Guangwu did not give up and still invited him to Luoyang. Although he was placed in a magnificent compound and a deep house, he refused to associate with court dignitaries. Guangwudi went to visit him, but he couldn't do the ceremony of monarch and minister. Emperor Guangwu could do nothing about him, saying that he was a "crazy slave". One day, Emperor Guangwu invited him to the palace, had a heart-to-heart talk and asked him how to govern the country. Yan Ziling is eloquent. Guangwudi was very happy to hear his theory about ancient and modern times and his reasoning was incisive. The two talked until late at night, and Emperor Guangwu left him to sleep in the same bed. Yan Ziling didn't refuse, lying on the bed, crossing his legs and falling asleep. Sleeping until midnight, he put one leg on the emperor. Guangwudi didn't sleep well all night in order not to disturb him. The next morning, when Yan Ziling was still sleeping, Emperor Guangwu got up. See Qin Tian eunuch panic, rushed into the palace gate, said: "last night, I looked up at the sky, found a guest star attacking the throne. I'm afraid it's not good for long live the grandfather, so I came to the palace to report. " Emperor Guangwu pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "What's the guest star? I sleep in the same bed with my friend Zi Ling, and his legs are on me. " From then on, Yan Ziling, a guest star, became famous all over the world. Chen Shan, the mountain in his hometown is called "Kexing Mountain" and the bridge is called "Kexing Bridge". Today, the inscription of Yan Ziling in Yuyao Sibeiting still contains the sentence "The guest star on the city wall is still high". Emperor Guangwu appreciated Yan Ziling's character and talent and asked him to be a consultant. This is a very high position, but he still refuses to accept it. Later, I simply left without saying goodbye and went back to my hometown Yuyao to live in seclusion. In the 17th year of Jianwu (AD 48), Emperor Guangwu sent messengers to Yuyao and invited Yan Ziling to be an official in Beijing. When he heard the news, he quickly hid and the messenger had to return. In order to avoid any trouble in the imperial court, he simply took his family and moved to the Fuchun River in Tonglu to farm and fish. The place where he fished was later called Zi Ling Beach. "Yan Ziling Diaoyutai" has been preserved to this day. Yan Ziling returned to Yuyao until he died at the age of eighty and was buried in Chen Shan, Yuyao. Shi Hao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Mr. Yan's Tomb": "The jade box comes to the grass, and the horse is proud to plow. If Yuntai is also famous, who knows that there is a fishing platform throughout the ages? " Chen Shi's poem "Yan Tomb" also wrote: "The mountains are high and the stones are strange and cold, and the three-foot lonely tomb is a guest star. I think of the pine color of the mausoleum in the distance, and who is green in the misty rain." Yan Ziling's honesty, regarding wealth as floating clouds, has been respected by people for thousands of years. Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, admired Gao Jie of Yan Ziling, built a ancestral temple for him, and inscribed the immortal Yan Ancestral Hall, praising him for "the clouds are grey, the rivers and seas are boundless, and the mountains are high." Xu Wei, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Mr. Yan Temple": "How deep the clear water is, the high traces can be found. I don't know that the son of heaven is expensive, but I know my heart. Mountain fog dispels Chun Xue, and river wind dispels dusk forest. If you smell running water, who will listen to the piano? "

Fuchun Mountain in Diaoyutai, Yan Ziling, also known as Yanling Mountain, has a pair of rocks at the foot of the mountain, commonly known as Dongtai and Xitai. Dongtai is the Diaoyutai in Yan Ziling. Yan Ziling Mingguang was born in Yuyao in the early years of Eastern Han Dynasty. When he was a child, he was a classmate of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu. After Liu Xiu won the world, he was invited to be an official. Yan Guang refused again and again, so he retired to Fuchun Mountain to fish and farm and spend the rest of his life. The practice of not serving the powerful is well known throughout the ages. Yanling Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it was even upgraded, and it was honored as the ancestral hall of Mr. Yan. Fan Zhongyan, a writer, wrote "Mr. Yan's Ancestral Temple" and said: "Yunshan is grey, the rivers and seas are vast, the gentleman's wind is long, and the mountains are high." Xitai is temporarily called "Xiegongtai". It is much less famous, but it has its own moving story. Xie Aozi Gao Yu, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, fought against Yuan from Wen Tianxiang. After Wen Bing was defeated and martyred, Xie was heartbroken and came to this stage to offer sacrifices to heaven. It is said that he was holding bamboo in his hand and knocking on stones to make music, and the music was broken. There is a pavilion on the stage, and there is a link on the pavilion: "Born as a refugee in Xinling, died as a lonely soul in Yanling." There is a stone tablet in front of the pavilion, engraved with Xie Ao's essay "Mourning at Dengxi Station" written with his life. Between the east and the west, there is a Shuangqing Pavilion, and the couplet on the pavilion column is "Go upstairs to worship Yanzi, respect the noble spirit today: sacrifice the river to thank the public, and be loyal to the soul of the sun and the moon." 》"

Shifang and Yanshi Ancestral Hall Hu Huirui Shifang and Yanshi Ancestral Hall are located in Tanhushan North, Shan Zhinan, Tingshan Left, Baishan Right and Sanliwei on the south side of National Highway 329. Descendants of Yan Ziling once lived here, formerly known as "Kexingli" and now known as "Qinyan Village". Entering the village from the north, I saw a small bridge across the river from north to south, with the words "Yandi Ancient Bridge" and "Mr. Zi Ling, a scholar of Han Dynasty". On the back, the words "Liu Jie Square in Qing Dynasty" and "Yan Ziling Memorial Square" are engraved, and there are words such as "An imperial envoy mentioned the military affairs of Zhejiang and other places, and Yin Yingyuan, the right suggestion of Douchayuan, gave it to Hanyang, and learned that Huangyan in Yuyao Jinjiang was built by Mr. Zi Ling, a Chinese Confucian". According to legend, the eight characters of "Wind Endless" and "Immortality" were written by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, and the stone workshop was built in the thirty-second year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty (1604). In order to rebuild Yan Ziling's tomb, the stone workshop has a typical Ming Dynasty artistic style and stone carving architectural art, with a solid foundation, hollowed-out embossed lion rolling hydrangea, birds and animals and other patterns, which are exquisite, lifelike and magnificent. It embodies the superb stone carving skills of Ming craftsmen and has high artistic value. During the ten-year turmoil, the stone workshop was sheltered by the people who rebuilt the house as a rest pavilion, so it was able to escape the disaster and preserve this precious stone carving. It is a cultural relic protection unit in Yuyao City. There is a square in the west of the square, and there are three "Gao Feng pavilions" in the west, and there is an exhibition room in the pavilion. There is a bust of Mr Yan Ziling and his life story for tourists to visit. The memorial archway is surrounded by Yan's descendants, which is the origin of scholars' surnames in Han Dynasty. Occasionally, there is Yanshi Ancestral Hall in the southeast of the village, facing south and entering three places. The distance is empty and huge. Surrounded by walls, the building is exquisite, the carving is meticulous, and the characters are vivid, which has high architectural artistic value. Only the south wall, the gate was destroyed, several rooms in the first three entrances collapsed, the beams were lying on the ground, the surrounding walls were incomplete, and the rest were still there. Not far from the south of the village, you can see green mountains and trees, and the weather is extraordinary. Yue: "Gong Yanshan", commonly known as "Nanmian Mountain", was built here by the grandson of Mr. Tang Jiangzhou of the 21st century. On the top of Baiyun Peak, there is a flat stone engraved with the three characters "Gong Yanshan". The post-factor mausoleum is in Kexing Mountain. The temple moved to Kexing Mountain, leaving only ruins. According to the records in Xiahe Yanshi Genealogy and Biography of Yan Ziling, Jin Taikang was promoted to Antaishou in 283, and was founded in "Guest Star" with Mr. as his ancestor. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Yan changed her surname to Zhuang in order to avoid the abuse of Qin. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Gong Yan's father, Shi Yong, had been guarding Huiji's home, and this situation had spread to the funeral period (6- 1 BC), avoiding the taboo of Ming Di and Liu Zhuang (58), and Zhuang Yi was in strict control. According to the cloud in A Brief Introduction to Tombstones in Zi Ling, Gong was born in Yong Guang in the fifth year (39 BC). The two discussed knowledge during the day and slept at night, forming a deep friendship. Due to Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne (AD 9), Chimei Greenwood rebelled one after another, and when the world was in chaos, he returned to his hometown of Yuyao Chen Shan to study in seclusion. Thirteen years later (AD 23), Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, unified the world and became the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu. When Gong learned that he had become emperor, he changed his name and surname and lived in seclusion. Knowing Gong's virtue and talent makes people visit everywhere. Please come out and help him. Later, someone in Qi wrote that there was a man wearing sheepskin fishing in the lake, probably a man. Liu Xiu immediately sent messengers to prepare splendid chariots and horses to take him to the capital, and asked him to be an official in North Korea. It took three times to pick him up. And treat each other with courtesy. Arrange to stay in a guest house in Beijing. Da Situ (equivalent to the Prime Minister) and Gong are old acquaintances. He sent someone to meet him with a personal letter, and Liu Xiu personally ordered someone to drive him out of the palace. Visiting the public, sleeping in bed, ignoring. Knowing that he was asleep, Liu Xiu walked up to him, caressed his stomach and said, "You freak, I came to see you today as an old friend. Won't you help me govern the world? " The palace suddenly sat up and replied, In the past, Emperor Yao was so talented, and hermits like this refused to come out as officials. Scholars have their own interests, why do you have to force me to enter the official career? "Liu Xiu listened to keep shake head. Later, Gong was finally invited to the palace, and Gong was moved by his sincerity. They talked about the past. Go on. I asked Gong for advice on how to run the country, and he told him sincerely. He talked about late at night, and Liu Xiu stayed in his palace for the night. He didn't refuse. He and Liu Xiu sleep in the same bed. He stretched out his feet and fell asleep. Sleeping until midnight, he put one leg on Liu Xiu's stomach. In order not to disturb him, Liu Xiu didn't sleep well all night. The next day, when he got up and went to court, Qin went out to play, saying, "I looked up at the celestial phenomena last night and saw a guest star attacking the throne, which may not be good for longevity. Liu Xiu laughed after listening: "What guest star attacked the throne?" I slept with my good friend Zi Ling, and he let me go. Liu Xiu appreciated his intelligence very much and appointed him as an admonisher. He resolutely refuses to accept it, but he knows that the situation in North Korea and his own nature are unfavorable. He left a resignation letter and an apology letter to Liu Xiu, left without saying goodbye and went to the beautiful Fuchun River to live in seclusion. In the seventeenth year of Cheng Wu (AD 4 1), he was sent to Beijing again as an official. When he heard the news, he hurried back to Yuyao and hid in Yuede Temple at the foot of Chenshan Mountain. The messenger arrived at the news. It snowed heavily that day, and the snow was thick. He used his quick wits and stepped on Chen Shan. The messenger saw footprints in the snow and looked for them at the foot of the mountain. Of course, he didn't find it. Later generations have a poem saying: "It is unusual to avoid scholars and enter the secluded world, but to drag the mountain on Chenshan, the guest star shines high, the mountain is high and the water is long, and the sage is tall and long." "When the 80-year-old man died at home, Liu Xiu was very sad when he heard the news of his death. The local government paid millions of dollars to bury him in his hometown of Chen Shan. Fan Zhongyan, a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, admired his noble festival, specially built an ancestral temple for him, and wrote "Mr. Yan's Ancestral Temple", praising: "Yunshan is gray, the rivers and seas are vast, and the gentleman's style is high. "The mountain to go refers to the mountain in front of Yanshi Ancestral Hall, collectively known as Baiyun Mountain. River refers to the lake zone in front of the temple and the river flowing westward into Yaojiang River.

Sun Youshi stands in Diaoyutai, Fuchunjiang Town, Tonglu County. He is a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province and has become a famous tourist attraction. But more than 2,000 years have passed. Do you believe that Tonglu still has Yan Ziling's grandson? Recently, when Tonglu County organized township cultural departments to conduct a general survey of cultural heritage, Zhongshan Township Cultural Station collected a genealogy of Yan's family, and found that the 55th and 56th generation grandchildren of famous historical figures were in Zhubianfan Village, Zhongshan Township, Tonglu County. According to genealogical records, Yan Ziling's fifty-fifth grandsons are Yan Fengfu, 80 years old, and Yan Fengchun, 75 years old. Fifty-six grandchildren include sixty-year-old Yan and fifty-five-year-old Yan Jinhua. The genealogy reads: "The ancestors are wide, the word cloud, and the second family will take Yuyao people, who are crazy slaves in small print and rarely have high surnames. They are classmates of Emperor Guangwu, who have slept together for three years and are among the best in the class. After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he was hired as a counselor for three transgressions and five times, but Yan Ziling was indomitable. Still plowing in Fuchun Mountain. Later, people named the fishing place Diaoyutai in Yan Ziling. There are two things in Tonglu, each of which is several hundred feet high. There are Yang Qiuxuan, Kexingge and Gao Feng Hall. There are pavilions on the stage. " This family tree was rebuilt twice. 1945, at the age of six, Yan fell in love with music, and the music collection time was more than one year. Yan Jinhua, the last son of the Yan family who was just born in the circle spectrum, also made up for it, and he became the last one in the circle spectrum. This spectrum consists of six volumes and thirty-six volumes, two volumes in Zhubianfan Village, one volume in Xiatang Village and Panfan Village, one volume in Bipu Village and one volume in Shifeng Village, Luocun Village, jiande city. According to Yan's memory, during the Cultural Revolution, my uncle, who lives in Shifeng Village, jiande city, came to Zhubianfan Village, Tonglu, quietly took away a genealogy, and specially made a camphor box to prevent rot and moth. Unfortunately, another copy has been burned. After Uncle Jiande's death, Yan's son went out to work, and when his daughter got married, the genealogy was sent back to Zhubianfan Village and kept by Yan. As can be seen from the genealogy, court officials like to eat Tonglu specialties, such as dried tofu and pears, which were sent to the court as tributes in the Southern Song Dynasty. According to statistics, there are 65,438,000 descendants in Yan's genealogy, who hold different official positions in the imperial court. Their 50th grandson also received a plaque issued by his great-grandfather of Yanzhou (Jiande) government, with his seal and the words "generosity and peace". When Grandpa Fu lived in Jiande, he was very moved by his tolerance because of a dispute with others. This precious plaque was originally hung in the ancestral hall of Zhubianfan Village, and now it is collected by Yan's nephew. More interestingly, according to the genealogy of "dried bean curd is a tribute", processing of "Zhongshan dried bean curd" began seven or eight years ago, and it was really popular in the market. He entered the West Expo twice and won many awards.

"Solemn Pulse" Yan surname When it comes to Yan surname, we have to mention Zhuang surname first. Zhuang Heyan, the word solemn, means silence. Strangely, the surnames of China expressed by these two words are also closely related. Yan's surname was changed from Zhuang's surname, so people with Yan's surname and Zhuang's surname are simply family. Yan's surname comes from posthumous title Zhuang. In order to be different, our descendants took "Shi" as their surname, so they used "Zhuang" as their surname. In the Han Dynasty, the name of Emperor Han Ming was Liu Zhuang. According to the feudal emperor's system, in order to avoid the emperor's taboo, everyone surnamed Zhuang had to change his surname. Because the two words "Zhuang" and "Yan" are often used together, they both mean the same thing. Therefore, it is likely that the descendant Zhuang changed his surname to Yan when he arrived at Emperor Han Ming. Since then, a branch of Yan surname has appeared in the Zhuang family, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Yan Peiyong from Yang Qi, Fuzhou, said: "The Yan family in Yang Qi came from Gushi County, Gwangju, Henan Province during the God Blessed Period of the Tang Dynasty. So there are more than a dozen surnames in Fuzhou, all brought by Wang Shen. Yan, my ancestor, has a heart, and English is a hero's English. He came with Wang Shen. He is honest and brave. He can fight and make meritorious deeds. Later, the official worshipped the doctor. " The birthplace of Yan surname is mainly in Jiangling, Hubei and Tianshui, Gansu. Part of Yan's family has settled in Fujian since God bless in Tang Dynasty. Now there are many traces of Yan Ziling in Fuyang, Tonglu and other counties in Zhejiang. And Diaoyutai in Yan Ziling and so on. At that time, Yu Dafu traveled to Fuchun River, and there was a poem saying, "My family lives in Yanling Beach. In Qin Dynasty, there were beautiful mountains and rivers, three friends had beautiful peaches, and fishing boats traveled to and from Chunjiang." Tracing back to the source, these two surnames are descendants of Chu Zhuangwang, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. They are of the same blood, but in fact they are a family.
