Teacher Shi Zhendian once recorded in "The Charm in the Palace": When the wheat is about to mature in early summer, overlooking the growth and color of wheat in Gongping, you will find that the wheat is different in depth, clear in yellow and green, and criss-crossed. Like urban planning, the building structure is complex and large-scale, and the magnificent scene of Wu Zetian's Summer Palace can be expected.
Last autumn, my children and I went to Gongping to visit the ruins of the Summer Palace of Wu Zetian. In the bleak autumn wind, 100 mu of newly sown wheat fields are endless, and indigo bricks can be seen everywhere in the fields. It's a pity that I didn't see the palace map drawn by the hundred acres of wheat fields recorded in the history books.
In early summer, I took a break from my busy schedule for a long time, and then I visited the ruins of the Summer Palace of Wu Zetian.
Gukaixin Road on the west side of Xigong Qianxiang Middle School along the street is now a cement road. I walked along the slope for about two miles, admiring the trees on the roadside and listening to the crisp birds singing. After ten minutes, I came to a place that was suddenly enlightened. The breeze blows on your face, and the wheat fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of acacia flowers, which only makes you refreshed and the fatigue of climbing all the way suddenly disappears.
Green waves are rolling in the wheat field, flowers are in full bloom, bees are flying and butterflies are flying. It's so lively. The branches of wheat are fat and strong, and the green ears are held high, neatly arranged and magnificent. Occasionally, a few birds chirp on the wheat tip, and my ears whisper in the wheat field. I quietly appreciate the ups and downs of green wheat waves, and pay attention to whether the rows of wheat waves are really as magical as those recorded in the book, and whether I can see the outline of the palace with yellow, green, high and low. ...
I really saw it! The wheat field in front of us is really different in color and height from the surrounding wheat. The wheat over there seems a little taller and greener, while the wheat near my sight is swaying in the wind and looks a little thin. The small wheat field beside me is like a square, enclosing ten or twenty rows of green wheat, vaguely showing the appearance of a palace.
Is it because of the terrain? Look at the land under your feet, Ma Pingchuan; Is it because wheat will be sown sooner or later? There was a soaking rain in late autumn last year. After the weather clears up, the villagers are worried that it will rain again. In about three days, 100 mu of wheat fields were all sown. That's what caused the artificial boundary? Then why do wheat cubes with different heights appear in the same wheat field, with large and small areas but orderly arrangement?
The line of sight is farther, and the same is true over there. The wheat fields are strewn at random, forming a regular shape. The breeze blew, but I couldn't see clearly, like who knocked down the dominoes formed by green wheat, rearranged them neatly, and soon knocked them down and lifted them up again, only feeling dazzled and confused.
Walking on the dirt road in the middle of the wheat field, you can see the broken bricks and tiles scattered in the wild violet flowers everywhere. Here is a thick blue brick with a corner missing, and there are blue brick fragments. In fact, a layer of brick fragments has accumulated among the weeds.
Teacher Shi Zhendian wrote in the book "The Legend of Xiangping Mountain": "After Wu Zetian gained the status of queen, Chang 'an (Jin 'an) was the capital and Luoyang was the eastern capital, so she often traveled between the two capitals, and the front of the palace was the only place to pass. In order to facilitate the tour, she set up a palace on the north hill of Zhujiayuan (now in front of the palace), named Lanchang Palace, and later called Sakamoto Palace. There is a spiritual palace in Caiyuan Township in the west and a lotus palace in Yiyang County in the east, echoing each other from afar. "
A thousand years ago, a generation of queens set out from Luan's Chang 'an, meandered eastward along the ancient road of Song Xin to Luoyang, stayed in the Summer Palace in front of the palace, and drove to Ma Si, singing melodiously. The grand occasion is beyond description.
Dream back to the Tang Dynasty, I am a brick in the ruins of Wu Zetian's Summer Palace, standing in a magnificent palace with thousands of bricks in Qian Qian. When crossing the tunnel with a history of thousands of years, the song and dance in the prosperous Tang Dynasty turned into swords and shadows, and the palace was deserted. I finally turned into a piece of brick and tile, and the wheat fields next to me were harvested one after another. I'm a watchman who hasn't changed his mind.
Every year when the wheat is about to mature, we restore the glory of the past, as if history was yesterday.
Continue along the dirt road in the middle of the wheat field to the north and walk to the hillside overlooking the wheat field. Historical records show that this place is the Long Live Mountain. Looking at the whole wheat field and exploring the ruins of Wu Zetian's Summer Palace, the wheat field in front of us is undulating and criss-crossing, and the outline of the natural palace looms.
The cool breeze blows across the face, shakes the wheat field, takes it through the forest, whizzes away, and another breeze blows from the bottom of my heart. Behind me is Xiangping Mountain, in front of me is Nantang Mountain in Chaoyang, Jiu Feng, with beautiful hills in the east and magnificent Yanling Pass in the west. The palace is located in a place with a wide view, surrounded by lush trees, acacia flowers and sycamore flowers in full bloom, and the climate is pleasant. It's really a good place to spend the summer.
"This palace is named after the Summer Palace of Wu Zetian ... not the Summer Palace, but the Summer Palace!" The predecessors in the palace added the word "summer vacation" before Wu Zetian entered the palace, repeatedly emphasizing that summer is cool. When I visited today, the breeze brushed my face. Although it is early summer, I still feel a little cold.
"The following year1October 24th, 165438, Emperor Gaozong visited Lanchang Palace, and Wu Zetian arrived on 25th, so they only stayed here for one day. When passing through Shanzhou, Wu Zetian made great contributions to poetry and wrote a poem "You Jiu Long Tan" as a souvenir:
Mountain butterflies travel to the jade girl, Jianhu to Feng Qiong.
The top of the rock is like a phoenix, while Tan Xin is like a dragon.
Bamboo leaves float in wine, hibiscus is written in cups.
Therefore, only when the wind is loose can we enjoy the mountain.
The wind is blowing and there is silence. Historical changes have left their mark. It is said that there is a village in the east of Gongqian 5, with a pond of more than 50 acres. The water in the pond is clear and green, the fish are shallow, the willows by the pool are shaded, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Wu Zetian often unloaded flowers and jewels from the palace for dressing and washing, hence the name flower unloading pool. Wu Zetian often showed his military strength with a large group of guards, and often trained in Donghe in front of the palace, hence the name playground ditch.
In the west of the palace, there are the ancient Leishan and Wangjiangtai ruins of Wu Zetian, and in the jujube garden in the northwest of the palace, there is a teaching place for Wu Zetian's guards to practice their horses. In the white mud kiln in the backyard of Gongqian Tobacco Station, the villagers used to dig a wall of powder, without dropping powder or touching clothes. It is said that Wu Zetian's compact is scattered here, mixed with soil.
The roar of the machine "chug, da da" interrupted my thoughts. It turns out that on the hillside below the ruins of the palace, the project is under construction and the excavator is busy ... The huge wind blades on Xiangping Mountain are spinning rapidly, continuously delivering electricity to thousands of households. Along the cement road down the mountain, new varieties of walnuts are full of fruits. At the foot of the mountain, the sound of reading came from the red teaching building. Not far away, the poverty alleviation new village is full of vitality.
It took only about ten minutes to return from the ruins of Wu Zetian's Summer Palace, as if it had gone through a thousand years.
