The Origin of Kannonji Town
At the junction of Mianchi and Shan County in western Henan, there is a village called Kannonji. There is a beautiful legend about the origin of this village name!
It is said that a long time ago, a scholar went to Beijing to catch the exam. He took buddhist nun as soon as possible, sat in a carriage, passed a small village in Kenling, and saw a middle-aged village woman, pulling a boy of six or seven years old and beating him angrily. The child struggled to cry. The scholar couldn't bear to watch it, so he told the charioteer to stop. He got out of the carriage and saluted. "Why do you dare to ask eldest sister-in-law angry, playing children? He is too young to forgive even if he is wrong! " The village woman said, "I teach him to read poetry and prose carefully every day, but he doesn't know how to match an ordinary poem I wrote." If he doesn't strictly observe discipline, he won't study hard. "When the scholar heard this, he was very surprised. It is really commendable that the villagers and women in this mountain can teach their children to read poetry! Then he bowed and asked, "I don't know where the eldest sister-in-law came from." Please say it for the students to see. Seeing his fine features and elegant manners, the village women said, "My first couplet is' indigo fragrance'". The scholar thought that a peasant woman in a mountain village could make a profound couplet, but after listening to it, he struggled for a long time and couldn't answer it. At this moment, buddhist nun stood by and saw his master embarrassed. Hurriedly stepped forward to clear the way: "son, it is very important that we hurry now." Come back and answer! Hearing this, the scholar took the opportunity to turn the rudder and said, "That quip sung by my sister-in-law has been cold for ten years, and it is still difficult to answer at the moment, let alone a child. "Just forgive him once!" The village woman was angry when she saw her son pleading.
The scholar usually thinks that talented people are well educated, but he was stumped by a peasant woman in a mountain village. He was very unhappy and left by bus.
He stayed overnight and arrived in Beijing. There are still a few days before the exam. He found a quiet inn in a remote alley and studied poetry every day, but when the day came, he had already prepared for the exam.
It is said that today's emperor has a princess who is in her prime. He wants to choose a man with both ability and political integrity through this opening ceremony, find the East Bed, and is determined to interview in person.
As soon as the examination period arrived, the candidates gathered in front of the temple in panic, waiting for the emperor to come to the imperial examination. Who knows that the emperor has a new favorite princess, and they are inseparable, drinking and having fun together all day, and they forget about it. It was not until the supervisor came to rush him that he suddenly remembered.
On this day, the east wind blows gently, and the drizzle floats obliquely. The emperor came out of the harem and thought while walking under the imperial umbrella. Suddenly, he saw the rain wet the dragon robe, touching the scene, so he sang: "The rain wet the yellow robe and made the dragon drunk." He thought, take this sentence as the first couplet, let the teachers deal with it, and we can also see how talented and knowledgeable they are.
As soon as the trials came out, the emperor sat on the dragon court and looked down at the court. All he saw was a room full of children, scratching their heads, impatient, but unable to answer. The scholar also frowned at the beginning and pursued him; Later, I suddenly remembered what happened when I passed by Fuling Mountain Village, and suddenly realized: Isn't the poem couplet written by the village woman opposite? So I was overjoyed, my pen disappeared, and I wrote it immediately and submitted it. When the emperor saw it, Long Yan was overjoyed. Then he looked at the scholar, who was handsome and ambitious. He was the same age as the princess, and immediately named him the top scholar and recruited him as the attached horse.
The scholar was appointed by the emperor, which made him very happy. He was ordered to praise the officials in Beijing for three days, and then he married the princess. Just after the honeymoon, I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. He thought that this time, thanks to the beautiful sentences of the women in the village, the ceremony should be the first to come to thank humbly. Unexpectedly, I went to the ridge and looked everywhere, but I couldn't find the small village anymore. At this time, the new champion suddenly thought that when he was a child, he and his grandmother went to Kannonji to burn incense and sacrifice. The Guanyin statue in the temple is very similar to the appearance of the village women. Could it be that Guanyin Bodhisattva came to enlighten herself? So people built a guanyin temple in Fuling and sent people to burn incense every year. After that, a village was gradually formed here, named "Kannonji", which has been used for thousands of years. Later, the Longhai Railway set up a station here and a large coal mine was built, so "Kannonji" became famous in western Henan.
History of Kannonji Town
At the beginning of last century, Longhai Railway only reached Kannonji Town westward and became the terminal. Therefore, a large number of materials shipped to the west are transported here by train, or loaded on ships via the Yellow River, or transported westward via the Song-Han Ancient Road by carriage, or transported northward to Shanxi via the Yellow River Huixing Ferry (Maojindu). At the same time, materials from the western and northern regions were loaded by ships and pulled to Kannonji to wait for the train to be transported to the east, thus forming an economic center here, and the degree of excitement can be imagined.
Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing 1900, Cixi and Guangxu fled to xi 'an for refuge, and returned to Beijing to stay in Kannonji. It is said that the palace built for her at that time caused Empress Dowager Cixi's displeasure because it faced south. After reading it, she felt unlucky and couldn't help spending the night in the mansion of a local tyrant, Mr. Zhou Waijia. 19 14 In the spring, General Feng Yuxiang was ordered to fight bandits in western Henan and led his troops to Kannonji by three trains for the first time. Seven years later, he led the Western Expedition. Because there was no train to the west of Kannonji, he had to stop in Kannonji again. During this period, a mountain was blown up by explosives, and the trenches were temporarily stored here and guarded. 1July, 924, Mr. Lu Xun went to Xi 'an to give a lecture. I set out for Kannonji by train on July 7th, and then took the Yellow River waterway by boat. 14 arrived in Xi 'an in July and walked for seven days. It is said that he walked on the Yellow River waterway 90 kilometers from Kannonji to Tongguan for 4 days, which was difficult and costly. However, this 90-kilometer waterway inspired him to write. He wrote two famous essays, one is Looking in the Mirror, and the other is Talking about Beards.
The formation of an economic center because of a "dead end" is only one aspect of Kannonji. On the other hand, there are abundant underground coal resources in Kannonji, which were mined more than 300 years ago. By the 1920s, a large-scale coal market had been formed here. The raw coal mined by miners was transported to the southeast by train, so businessmen or coal dealers from all over the world set up "offices" in Kannonji to buy the raw coal produced at the first time. Because of the active economy, some businessmen in Shaanxi Province also valued this land and came here to do business, which made Kannonji more lively than Shaanxi Province at that time.
Under the conditions at that time, Kannonji became an important town in the west, which also left the seeds of revolution. 192 1 year1kloc-0/month, the Longhai Railway went on strike, and thousands of road workers lived in sheds on both sides of the railway near Kannonji, which is a relatively large and concentrated area among railway workers. Li Dazhao immediately sent Luo here to mobilize workers, guide and organize the strike movement, and won.
After the founding of New China, with the gradual improvement of national conditions and the opening of the railway west of Kannonji, the east-west logistics was smooth and the logistics bottleneck in Kannonji disappeared. In the past, the lively and active market atmosphere gradually returned to calm. Moreover, the coal resources here have gradually dried up after hundreds of years of exploitation, and Kannonji Town has lost its scenery and returned to its own agricultural township team.
From the mature market of coal industry in the middle of19th century to the opening of the west extension line of Longhai Railway in the middle of 20th century, Kannonji Town experienced a prosperous period of 100 years, from which many stories were deduced and left in various records or memories of generations.
