According to Records of the Historian, Xie Gongchun was a famous politician, strategist and social activist at that time. He was knowledgeable, bold, knowledgeable and talented, not only with political foresight, but also with eloquence.
In Historical Records written by Sima Qian, he only said that he was from the State of Chu, but did not specify where the State of Chu was. So, where is Chun's hometown? It has become a great historical mystery.
According to "A General History of China's Surname Huang", "He Pingpu and Chaozhou Pu said that their ancestral home was Renyi Village, Huanghe Township, Jiangxia County, Wuchang, Huguang, and they were born in Silla (present-day Korea) and still lived in Jiangxia when they returned to Chu". Hunan Huang's genealogy holds that Chun still lives in Huang's hometown, and says, "He lives in Chu, and his family has never moved." Today, when the whole world is scrambling to play celebrity cards, Huangchuan, Henan Province, relies on Huangchuan as the ancestral home of the ancient Huangguo, and the King of Chu once gave Huaibei 12 County and Chun Shen Jun, so it is speculated that this place is his hometown. The giver is not the former residence. Shayang County, Hebei Province, according to the records of Jingmen Prefecture, only one place records the former residence of Chun, but there is no detailed record. It's hard to remember an ambition. Changde, Hunan, said that Huang Xie lived in central Guizhou (Changde) according to the Four Classics of Central Hunan, and it was unconvincing to choose himself as the former residence of Huang Xie. Wuxi in Chongqing once bordered Taiping County in history, and moved Wanqingchi in Wanyuan City to Hongchiba, hundreds of miles away from the original border. The Chongqing municipal government also allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to build the so-called "hometown of Shen Jun in spring". There are no official records in the above four places. Can only say that Huang Xie has been to those places and stayed. Or travel, or be an official
Where is Chun's hometown? There is no definite theory in academic circles. According to the existing historical documents, Chun's hometown should be in Dazhou, Sichuan.
First, Shi Zaichun Shen Jun's hometown is in Dazhou.
There are not many historical records about Chun's hometown, which was first found in Tu Jing: "Wanqingchi, the legacy of Chun's former residence." Later, some history books also had similar expressions. In other words, the hometown of Chun Shen Jun recorded in the official history is in Wanqingchi. As long as we can find Wanqingchi, we can determine the hometown of Spring. So, where is Wanqingchi?
In the eighth year of Song Yuanfeng, the title of "Dazhou" in the appendix of "Records of Nine Cities in Yuanfeng" said: "Wanqingchi, the picture book says: the legacy of Chun's former residence", which is the earliest record in historical classics to link Wanqingchi and Chun with Dazhou.
According to the book "Ji Sheng of Yu", which was written in the three years of Southern Song Dynasty, the article "Taiping County" was quoted as saying: "The northeast of (the county) is 80 miles, and it is the former residence of Chun. Next to it is a large flat land, where the water in neighboring cities originates. "
In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Dazhou was reduced to a big fairy, and the original counties were all provinces. The Annals of Daming, written in the fifth year of Dashun in Ming Dynasty, records that Wan Qingchi was in Daxian, and the direct description of Wan Qingchi is the same as that of the Annals of Yuan Dynasty.
The Records of Taiping County, compiled by Zhong Lian in the sixty years of Qing Qianlong, records: "Wanqingchi, 300 miles east of the county seat, is a 1,000-hectare pool, which is located in Shan Zhinan, Xiakou, near the boundary of Jiaoda County, with a deep valley (sound: Qing) and a pool of water (sound: Zhu). There are four rivers and one goes out of Beijiang County.
Lei Shu: "Late in Dazhou, it is said to be the former residence of Chun. The flat land next to it can have thousands of hectares, and there are many flowers and orchards. "
Second, Chun Shen Jun Huang Xie's hometown is in Liu Ma County, Daxian
(1) The "father of Shanghai" is actually from Dazhou.
Recently, when meeting with the reporter of Dazhou Daily, Mr. Gordon, a well-known scholar in the history of local tourism culture in our city, published his amazing conclusion after 1 1 year: "Chun Shen Jun, one of the four sons of the Warring States, known as the father of Shanghai style, is from Dazhou!" If this research is finally confirmed, then the history and culture of our city will add a brilliant stroke.
How did Chun, a famous person in the history of China, become a native of Dazhou? According to Mr. Wang, as early as 1992, he found the records of Wanqingchi, an ancient town in his hometown county, from the first draft of the newly compiled Daxian Annals. This discovery aroused Gordon's keen interest. However, due to the legend in Daxian County Annals, Gordon didn't rush to a conclusion, and then began a serious textual research process of 1 1 year. 1995, he got further proof of Chun's hometown Wanqingchi from Taiping County Annals annotated by Chen of Sichuan University. 1997, he learned from "Dachuan Regional Records: Architectural Volume" that Dazhou was once called Wanzhou because there were thousands of ponds in the territory. 1999, he found out that Chun's hometown was Wanqingchi in the "County Records of the Republic of China". In 2000, he learned from the "Shanghai Records Architecture Volume" that Shanghai was named Shencheng because it was the fief of Chun Shen Jun during the Warring States Period; In 2003, after on-the-spot investigation and extensive reading of Ci Hai, General History of China, Historical Records and Sichuan General Records, Mr. Gordon finally came to the conclusion that Wanqingchi, the hometown of Shen Jun in Spring, is indeed in Liu Ma, Daxian County.
Spring Shen Jun is from Dazhou! If Mr. Wang's conclusion is finally confirmed, it will not only solve a big unsolved mystery about where the hometown of Spring is, but also add a lot of color to the history and culture of our city.
(2) Wanqingchi, the hometown of Spring, is in the county.
Records of Daxian County, Social Customs and Folklore all recorded: "Ninety miles southeast of Daxian County, Maliuba has a pool with a circumference of several hundred feet. It looks flat and the mud is deep, so it is impossible to cultivate. Farmers use it to store water, and locals call it' mud lake'. According to legend, it is the ancient Wanqingchi, also known as Jianhu, the hometown of Chu Chun Shen Jun. "
According to Qing Qianlong's Dazhou Records, Chun's hometown is also in Dazhou. Song wrote in the preface: "Wei killed the embroidered soil of Shu, which is actually the land of the famous western Shu, with steep wind ridges and swaying baqu (sound: pre);" The pool is famous, the hometown of Shen Jun in spring, the mountain number Echeng, and the place where Wuyang Hou [Fan Kuai] fought; Jathyapple shoots Dingxi [Yuan Zhen] Pavilion, and Du Yu crows red; The spring breeze makes the sound of spring at point C, and the beautiful fish raises the blue. If a husband is comparable to a bean, he will be a great man; Quality is heavy (sound: Zhang Qiong), and it is passed down from generation to generation. " This also proves that the things recorded in Daxian Annals are not groundless.
Chen note of Sichuan University: "There are three people named Wanqingchi, one in Chengkou, one in Shitangba, Wanyuan and one in." "Taiping County Records" also said: "Guanmao Mountain, 120 miles southeast of the county, has a pool in it, which is unfathomable. Last year, the dam field was short of water, so I decided to use this water to irrigate the land. There was a loud roar in the pool, and a thunderstorm suddenly came, and the water fell and stopped flowing. At night, residents dream and talk, which makes people hide. So people built temples in the ditch, in Qian Shan and Qinglong, called Huilongguan. So far, the rain has not been dry for a long time, and there is no shortage. " The Guangxu edition of the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping County Records of the Republic of China contain: Guanmao Mountain is the main mountain of Shitangba, and there is Longtan in the mountain, which is more than ten acres in size and inexhaustible. Legend has it that it is a thousand hectares of pool. Therefore, it is not Liu Ma Pool in Daxian County.
Through comprehensive demonstration: the pure hometown is in Wanqingchi County. First, Wanqingchi in Chengkou County is located in a deep forest with high terrain, which is the source of four waters. In the Warring States period, it was still the animal world and had no fixed place, so it was not the hometown of spring. Secondly, Longtan, Guantao Mountain, Shitangba, Wanyuan City, covers an area of only 10 mu, which is far from the name of the pool (10.5 million mu), so it is not the hometown of spring. Thirdly, there is still the Mud Lake, the site of Wanqingchi in Liu Ma, which covers an area of nearly 500 mu up to now, and is close to 1 1,000 mu in front of the lake, hence the name Mud Lake Village. According to the field investigation, Guwan Qingchi takes today's Lannihu Village as the center, Yueming River as the axis, and today's Nianpan Bay, Dizang Temple, Tonggudui, Sifang Monument, Lianzhai, Dafeng Field, Tuqiao, Shuangyantang, Shahe, Shi Baozhai and Maliuchang as the lakeside, which is worthy of the name. Fourth, there are traces of dredging on the riverbank of Dafeng Arch Bridge today. According to analysis, in ancient times, there were huge stones blocking it, forming waterfalls. The inner side blocked the Mingyue River from becoming a thousand hectares pool, and the outer waterfall hung high and washed into today's wind pool. Today, the dredging work of the river below the gale has never stopped, especially after Wei, an official from Tingzi Town, garden village, went to the official department to promote the water transportation of the river during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the old story has been circulated among the people.
In the second year of Nanliang Datong (536 BC), due to the existence of Wanqingchi in China, Wanzhou was set up in Tongchuan District of Dazhou City today, with six counties in the state, which shows that Wanqingchi has far-reaching influence. According to historical research, today's Tongluo Mountain Range (Lei Yin Pu) is the natural border between ancient Chu and Pakistan. From Wanqingchi to Ying, the capital of Chu State, which is now jiangling county in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, the transportation is convenient. The main route is through Sandalwood and Kaijiang to Wushankan, Tieqiao and Linjiang in Kaixian County, and then you can take a boat along Xihe Xiaojiang to Yunyang to reach the Yangtze River smoothly.
In the Hunhu area of the ancient Wanqingchi site, there is a Tibetan temple, and there is a couplet at the main entrance: "Lin Mi Xi Jing, remembering spring; Zhong Ming Gu Ying, look at the Buddha statues hidden in the mountains here. " Baiyun Temple has a poem "Poems of Baiyun Temple" written by the poet Li Bai, who paid tribute to Shen Jun in the spring. He said: "One phoenix falls on the south cliff, and two dragons play with pearls and sand. Baiyun is born in Wan Baozhai, and the red sun shines high in Qilixia. " There is an ancient grave in Lannihu Village called Huang Xie's Tomb. In the past, people called the local people "Ren Xia is alive and Huang Xie is a legacy". Through the detailed investigation of place names in Liu Ma and Dashu areas, a large number of place names full of historical information were found, especially those with strong correlation such as "Huang Dou Township" and "Huangting Township".
(3) Daxian County Government established Chun's hometown.
1. Daxian Spring Statue settled in the Expo Park.
Recently, the county party committee and government presented a statue of spring to the Shanghai World Expo Organizing Committee.
Shanghai and Yinchun formed an indissoluble bond. In order to strengthen the economic and cultural exchanges between Shanghai and Shanghai, and build a bridge of friendly cooperation between the two places, Daxian specially invited Professor Ye Yushan, the top sculptor in China, to create a realistic bronze statue of Spring with a base of 1.2 meters high, and presented it to the Shanghai World Expo for exhibition.
2. Gao Deng of Dazhou Local Records Office told reporters that it is understood that in recent years, it has been publicized on many occasions that the local area is the hometown of Spring, and Sichuan University of Arts and Sciences has also held academic seminars for this purpose.
3. On March 16 this year, the leaders of the county party committee made it clear that they would make every effort to create a historical and cultural name card of Spring's hometown when they met with the crew of cctv-4 "Travel All over China".
At 20 o'clock on June 6th, 2065438+00, CCTV-4 broadcast the feature film "The Legend of Spring: Shen Jun's Hometown in Daxian County", which aroused many people's curiosity and concern. In 262 BC, the king of Chu agreed to change the fief to Wu, and Chun built water conservancy in the fief, developed the economy and made people's livelihood rich. He was deeply loved by the people of Wu and passed down from generation to generation. He was praised by Shanghai as "Spring, the root of Shanghai" and "Spring, the father of China". Therefore, the feature film "Legendary Spring: Shen Jun's Hometown is in Daxian County" is also a special program created for the Shanghai World Expo by the "Travel Around China" column.
4. CCTV focuses on the county's "fire dragon" and explores the legend of Spring's hometown.
Chun Shen Jun was the only non-royal member among the four gentlemen in the Warring States Period. Legend has it that Spring's hometown is in Liu Ma, Daxian, and there are many legends about Spring. Recently, four sets of CCTV's "All over China" columns went into Daxian County and filmed "Fire Dragon" and "Legend Land of Spring Shen Jun" in Shiqiao and Dongxing Township. The column group also visited the "Hometown of Spring" in Daxian County in China, Japan and other places. TV documentaries have excavated the characteristic culture and historical sites of our city and displayed the rich history and culture of Dazhou.
Internet has recognized that Chun's hometown is in Dazhou.
6. The word "Spring" in the registered trademark approved by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
7. Shen Jun's Hometown in Spring is in Dazhou, a song written by Chongqing Song and Dance Troupe.
8. The county party committee and the county government decided that the relevant departments of the county should organize and take horses as the main organizer to prepare the Planning Scheme for the Construction of Spring Hometown.
In 648 BC, the ancient kingdom of Huang was destroyed by the State of Chu, and the nobles and people surnamed Huang were exiled by the State of Chu and fled in fear, leaving their homes in the Wanqingchi area at the junction of Chu and Ba, that is, today's Heshu area. "Huang Dou" and "Huang Ting" fully reflect the yearning of the Huang people who lost their country for their hometown, deeply immersed in the dream of rejuvenating the country in their second hometown, and gave them protection and hope.
