Lingbi is located in the northeast of Anhui, adjacent to my hometown Suining, Jiangsu. For thousands of years before the founding of the Republic of China, it was one of the eight counties in Xuzhou. 1. Therefore, at the age when I was just able to see the world, it was deeply imprinted in my mind. But it was after I was transferred to Suzhou to work in 1969 that I really became interested in Lingbi. At that time, Suzhou was not a city, but was called the Su County Commissioner Administrative Office. Lingbi was one of the seven counties under the supervision of the administrative office. It was so close that it was easily accessible, so people often went there, and people returned to their hometowns when they went there. Friendly and warm.

Place names have long become a culture in China with a long history. However, when you pay a little attention to this culture, even if you only have a brief taste, you will find that most of the place names are derived from the geography of mountains and rivers, purely from the geography of mountains and rivers. Thanks to the humanists. Among them, the Lingbi is the most charming. It is graceful and elegant, showing its preciousness, and contains mystery and weight.

Ling? Witch, God, soul, good, good. "Chu Ci, Nine Songs, Donghuang Taiyi" says: "The soul is lying in bed, the clothes are beautiful, and the hall is full of beauty." ? (Witch); and there is a sentence in "Chu Ci, Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang": "The spirit comes like clouds." ?The talented Cao Zhi lamented in his immortal famous poem "Ode to the Goddess of Luo": ?Then Luo's inspiration was lost, and he was just leaning and wandering. ? (God); out of admiration for the tomb owner, Wen Tingyun, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, cried in "Passing Chen Lin's Tomb": "The poet has a spirit and should know me. I have no owner before I pity you!" ? (soul); The Book of Songs "The Fang Zhong of the Wind" praises the good rain that knows the season as "Ling Yu Piao Ling" (good); the "Zheng Xuan Annotation" often quoted by scholars only uses three characters as "Ling" The word "?" has another meaning: "Spirit, good".

Bi, a beautiful jade with a hole in the middle, is a national treasure. It is not only a symbol of a country, but also the dignity and soul of a country. It is also a symbol of royal power. Bian He, fearless of life and death, presented three treasures and jade, and carved the jade as the heirloom treasure. Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao with the jade intact because of his great wisdom and courage. All have become stories that have been passed down through the ages. In order to compete for a jade, there were some conspiracy, some overt and covert attacks, and even wars, which resulted in the death of countless soldiers. In the long history from slave society to the demise of feudal society, there were many bloody storms. Anyone with beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament is often called "Bi Ren". Although people rarely use this kind of praise nowadays, it is recorded in history books. For example, "Wei Jie's Biography" describes this handsome man who was born in a family of officials, both civilized and military, and good in appearance: Wei Jie was riding in an Aries chariot in the city. ?It really shocked the capital and made men and women jealous. Lingbi? Let Lingbi shine forever and make Lingbi people proud and glorious. Lingbi has both Bianhe and Tuohe rivers in its territory, so why does its county name have nothing to do with mountains and rivers? If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that Lingbi County was founded during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Emperor Huizong was not only a master of calligraphy, proficient in music, but also well-educated. When he named the new county, the first thing he thought of was not geography. Landscapes, but the treasures buried in this land? Rocks, strange stones and marbles, as well as scenes of dramas, dramas, tragedies and comedies that have been staged here that shocked the past and the present.

I really want to thank Emperor Huizong for bestowing this fertile and fertile land with the county name as beautiful as jade, which attracted many literati and scholars to come here to see its beauty and explore its mysteries.
