Historical evolution

During the war of the song and Yuan Dynasties, most of Zongze's descendants fled to other places, and no one worshiped Zongze's tombs and ancestral temples in Zhenjiang. After more than one hundred years of ups and downs, in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral temples collapsed, the hall of enjoyment was abandoned, the tombs were deserted, and the sacrificial property was occupied by the monks. In the 35th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (the third year of Jianwen, 1401 AD), Liu Chen took the post of prefect of Zhenjiang as the censor. At the beginning of his departure, he led his staff, called his father and elders, bowed to the tomb of Zongze, swept the jiandien, saw the desolation of the tomb and ancestral temple, and took it as his duty to recover the relics. At the same time, the ancestral hall of Zongzhong Jian was set up in Puzhao temple, so that the Chengzai nunnery of Longhua temple could guard it.

In 1635, Li Changke and Zhang Gongliang visited Zongze's tomb and ancestral temple in Jingxian mountain and Shouqiu mountain. When they saw the decaying walls of Zongzhong Jian's ancestral temple, they consulted with Dantu County Magistrate Zhang Wenguang and decided to rebuild the new ancestral temple. In the following year, after Zunjing Pavilion of Yixue, five couplets were built in the east of Dacheng hall, and a grand "Zongzhong Jian ancestral hall" was quickly completed. Li Changke wrote the stele of rebuilding the ancestral hall of Zhongjian, and Zheng Yiyue, later the magistrate of Dantu County, wrote the stele of rebuilding the ancestral hall of Zhongjian. They are all carved with stones and stand in the ancestral hall. This shows that the Ming Dynasty from the imperial court to Zhenjiang officials and people have a high degree of respect for Zongze.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and the Jin people in the Song Dynasty both belonged to Nuzhen. However, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, proceeding from the overall situation and without national prejudice, opposed Zongze, a famous general of the Jin Dynasty. They not only did not discriminate against him, but also praised his loyalty to the monarch. In 1705, Emperor Kangxi paid a visit to Jinshan and wrote the four words "Zhongfu Yongzhao" in praise of Zongze. After the descendants of Zongze saluted the plaque of "Zhongfu Yongzhao", they hung it in the ancestral hall of "Zongzhong Jian"

”At the entrance of the tomb Road, a new stone archway with the inscription of "Yu Ci Zhong Lu Yong Zhao" was built.

At the same time, in view of the fact that the hall built in the tomb road in the Jiading period of Song Dynasty had been abandoned and the place was narrow, Zong Fang and Zong Ying, descendants of Zongze, actively donated money to purchase the houses of Chen Dao and others in Chenjiawan in the 14th year of Kangxi, and rebuilt the "Zongzhong Jiangong hall". The newly-built hall is composed of three couplets for the main temple, three for the bedroom and three for the gate hall, two for the zhaisuo and two for the kitchen. The main temple is still written with the word "Zhongwu" inscribed by Yu lie, which is known as "Zhongwu hall". At that time, the paintings of Zhongjian cemetery, Zhongjian cemetery and Zhongjian Gongxiang hall have become the reliable basis for the restoration of Zongze temple, tomb and Xiangtang. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong granted the plaque of "Danchen guanri" and sent ministers to Zhenjiang three times to offer sacrifices or send plaque. Under the promotion of emperor Kang and Emperor Qian's plaques successively, the upsurge of commemorating Zongze in the early Qing Dynasty lasted for a long time.

At the beginning of 1937, Japanese invaders occupied Northeast China. Zhenjiang was the capital of Jiangsu Province at that time, and also faced the threat of Japanese invaders. Under the influence of people's Anti Japanese passion, especially the proposal of cultural circles, the Provincial Department of education was forced by public opinion, and the then Jiangsu literature and Art Association came forward to raise funds to repair Zongze's tomb. After design, planning and construction by craftsmen, a stone archway was erected in front of the tomb, and four characters of "national light" were engraved on the horizontal plaque. On both sides of the stone pillars, the couplet "the Song Dynasty is in danger of supporting a pillar, and heroes are dying for three times" is engraved face to face. On the back, "the meritorious deeds of 800 years ago will always shine on the sun and the moon, and after thousands of years of sagging, Zhuji will shine on heaven and earth" (couplet is Yi Jun's left Title Book). Zongze's grave bag and passage were also repaired. Before the Qingming Festival in 1937, the repair of Zongze's tomb was completed. However, during the cultural revolution, Zongze's tomb and its steles were all destroyed, and the cemetery was beyond recognition. In March 1984, the tomb of Zongze was renovated with funds from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of culture and the provincial cultural relics administration committee. After repair, Zongze tomb is what we see today.

In the first half of 2013, Zongze tomb was renovated again. It is very beautiful and has become a good place for citizens to cultivate themselves.
