Parrot Island

It used to be in the river outside Wuchang, Wuhan. It is said that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Mi Heng was at the guests' meeting of Huang she, Huang Zu's eldest son, he wrote an impromptu poem named "Fu on parrot" which is "Qiang Qiang Jia Jin Yu, every sentence wants to fly". Later, Miheng was killed by Huang Zu and buried on the island. There are many famous people in the past dynasties, "the island of Tibetan boat parrots" has left a lot of poems throughout the scenery of the river. Tang Cui Hao's "Qingchuan has experienced Hanyang trees, and the parrot island is full of grass", Li Bai's "the wind is warm, the smoke is blooming, the leaves are fragrant, and the shore is full of peach blossoms". Meng Haoran's "once upon a time, I climbed up the Yellow Crane Tower, and looked at the parrot island in the river from afar" is even more popular. But the island gradually sank in the late Ming Dynasty. Yingwuzhou, a newly silted island in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), was renamed "bukezhou". It was renamed "yingwuzhou" in Jiaqing period (1796-1820), and the tomb of Miheng was rebuilt in 1900. The tomb is made of stone, square, with the title of "Tomb of Miheng, a scholar of the Han Dynasty", which is very simple and unique.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the new parrot island was connected with Hanyang.

Yingwuzhou, a newly silted island in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), was renamed "bukezhou". It was renamed "yingwuzhou" in Jiaqing period (1796-1820), and the tomb of Liheng was rebuilt in 1900. The tomb is made of stone, square, and inscribed with the title "Tomb of Han Chushi Miheng", which is very simple and unique.

In the planning of Wuhan, after the argumentation of many experts, a parrot Island Bridge will be built here to directly connect Xiongchu Avenue and parrot Avenue and become a bridge parallel to the Yangtze River Bridge. In 2009, Wuhan will complete the preliminary work of yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge. It is understood that the yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge, Wuchang connecting near nianyutao and Hanyang connecting with Maying Road, will mainly share the traffic flow of the Yangtze River Bridge.

After the completion of yingwuzhou Yangtze River Bridge, Xiongchu Avenue in Wuchang will really become the same prosperous street as Luoyu road.

Historical stories

But the spirit bird of the western regions is very natural, and the body is of the essence of gold, which is in harmony with the brilliance of fire. It is only when one is wise enough to speak that one is wise enough to know the machine. Therefore, it plays high and steep, perches deep and deep, flies without rash gathering, and flies in the forest. Cyan toe Dan mouth, purple clothes Cui Jin, caicaicailirong, bite good sound. Although they are of the same race as Yu Guang, they have different minds because of their special wisdom

This is a section of Fu on parrots written by Li Heng, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is used to describe himself. The parrot island in the Yangtze River is named after the Fu.

Li Heng (173-198) was born in the southwest of Leling, Shandong Province. He is a man of "loyalty, integrity, ambition, fear of good and hatred of evil". He is proud of his talent and often insults the powerful. First, Cao Cao called him to be a drummer and ordered him to dress as a drummer in order to humiliate him. However, he changed his clothes naked in front of Cao Cao and his guests. Later, he beat drums and scolded Cao outside the camp gate. For Cao Cao's intolerance, he sent Liu Biao away. Liu Biao was also insulted by him and was transferred to Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. He also satirized Huang Zu as "the God in the temple. Although he was sacrificed, his hatred had no effect". He was killed by Huang Zu, who was irascible. He was only 26 years old and was buried on Fangzhou in the middle of the river. In memory of this upright man, posterity called the place where he buried his bones parrot island by means of parrot Fu, and built Zhengping temple on the island for people to pay homage to. Since ancient times, many poets and poets have come to visit yingwuzhou to pay homage to your tomb, leaving behind countless poems, which have made yingwuzhou famous and your Zhengping spirit forever. Look at Shen Deqian, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, in his poem "a man who mourns you on parrot island"

Ants see Cao Gong Qi not destroyed, LAN burning jade drama sad.

Old friends are generous to push strange people, and show their talents in troubled times.

Zhou Qin why not stir the waves, the article is willing to insult haolai. Only those who pass by today and future generations will have a cup of smoke and water.

Where is the parrot Island described by Cui Hao as "luxuriant grass", that is, on the Wuchang side of the great river or on the Hanyang side, which can be said to be a public case in history. Because "the island gathers in the sand, and the sand turns to the water", parrot island has undergone several changes and has been divided into ancient and modern. Some people think that the ancient parrot island is on the side of Wuchang, and the present parrot island is on the side of Hanyang. Therefore, there is a saying of Wuchang parrot island and Hanyang parrot island. Some people think that today's parrot island is certainly in Hanyang, while the ancient parrot island is also close to the Bank of Hanyang. After comparing the two theories, we tend to the former. There are two pieces of Wang Wuchang in the collection of mei'an by Yang Ji of Ming Dynasty

Du Ruoxiang, the wind blowing from his face, is far away from the willows.

People live on the edge of parrot island. They always open the door to Hanyang.

Spring wind and rain wet the train, green water and red make-up painting is not as good as.

But she came across the river to buy Wuchang fish.

It is entitled "looking at Wuchang" and "opening the door to Hanyang". It can be seen that the poet's foothold in observing things is on parrot island. Hanyang woman, who "crossed the river to buy Wuchang fish", apparently came to the parrot island or the edge of the island. Isn't the location of parrot Island clear at a glance? There is also a saying in Huang Fu's Hou Le Tang manuscript and Guo Wu Chang: "the Yellow Crane Tower at the head of the city, the parrot island outside the city.". This handy example is enough to supplement the former.

The ancient parrot island near Wuchang was destroyed in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. In the song and Yuan Dynasties, there were sandbanks along the Hanyang River, but there was a definite name: Liu Gongzhou. Song Hanyang knew that Liu Yi had cultivated and harvested on the continent, so it was named. This island has disappeared since Jiajing of Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Baishazhou in Wuchang was destroyed by water, while Xinzhou was silted up in Hanyang. Wu, a member of the Baishazhou people, and others submitted to the officials to fight for this place, asking for the land of xinyuzhou to be cut off for them to pay taxes on Baishazhou, and named bukezhou. The people of Hanyang county took yingwuzhou as a historic site of Hanyang for a long time. Now it has been silted up, and it is near nanjimenwai, so it should not be far away from Wuchang. Therefore, the dispute was brought by the government. After three attempts by Qiu Xingshu, the magistrate of Hanyang County, Xinzhou still belonged to Hanyang, and the name of yingwuzhou was restored to preserve the historic sites. This is how parrot island in Hanyang came to be. The so-called "yingwuzhou has been a historic site of Hanyang for a long time" by the people of Hanyang county is a strong word in the dispute. The reason is based on Cui Hao's poem "Qingchuan has experienced trees in Hanyang, and the grass is luxuriant in yingwuzhou". We can never take the words of dispute as the basis that ancient yingwuzhou is also on the Bank of Hanyang.

Today, the parrot island has been gradually connected with the Hanyang river bank since the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. In old China, it was the largest bamboo and wood market in the Yangtze River Valley, and most of the residents were from Hunan Province. Today, it is not only the largest bamboo and wood transfer station on the Yangtze River, but also an emerging industrial zone and foreign trade port in Wuhan.

Related Legends

It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, the famous man Li Heng was recommended by Liu Biao to Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia. You Heng and Huang she, the son of Huang Zu, are very close. They often play together, drink and write poems.

At that time, there was an island in the middle of the Yangtze River, which was desolate, overgrown with weeds and infested with rabbits. One day, Huang she invited you to go hunting and drinking in Jiangxinzhou. The son of the governor of Jiangxia invited the guests and chose the sandbank in the middle of the Yangtze River. Many people went to the sandbank. Some of them even brought geisha and beauties with them to have a good time. On that day, a singer named Biji poured a full cup of wine stick in front of you Heng and said, "I've heard of your noble name for a long time. I just wish I didn't have the chance to see you. Today, I'm very lucky. I hope you can drink this cup and don't think I'm humble."

You Heng didn't expect to meet a confidant in the wine shop. He was very moved and drank it in one gulp.

While laughing, someone presented a red Billed Parrot with green feathers to Huang she. Huang she happily presented the parrot to you and said, "this parrot is for you, but you need to write an article about the parrot for today's banquet." Brigitte immediately rolled up her sleeves to polish. You Heng is a famous talent. He is very talented. Because he was born in troubled times, he has always been resentful. Today, when he saw the parrot, he couldn't help touching his mind. He borrowed something to express his feelings and wrote an article "parrot bin". The meaning of that Fu is to say: parrot is a divine bird, but no one knows it, only regards it as a plaything in the cage. After writing the Fu, he presented the parrot to Biji to express his sympathy for her illness. Later, Huang Zu saw this Fu on parrot. He was afraid that the success of you Heng would be bad for him, so he killed him. Huang she buried him in the middle of the river.

Wearing a heavy body of filial piety, Biji brings the parrot that you Heng gave her to the island. She cries in front of you Heng's tomb and expresses her willingness to fly with his soul. She cried enough and died in front of the tombstone. The parrot wailed all night. The next day, it was found dead in front of the grave. People in Jiangxia City raised money to build a tomb for Biji and buried the parrot on the island. From then on, people called Jiangxinzhou parrot island. Later, in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the parrot
