Hejiang Pavilion

Hejiang Pavilion, built 1200 years ago, is located at the intersection of Fuhe River and Nanhe River in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

The base of Hejiang Pavilion is several feet high, and 10 Pavilion columns support the connected double Pavilion, which is ingenious and meaningful. You can see the scenery of the two rivers.

Hejiang pavilion was first built by Wei Gao, the governor of Western Sichuan during the period of Zhenyuan in Tang Dynasty. It was rebuilt in Northern Song Dynasty and reached its peak. It became a lively place for officials and people to have banquets and play in the market. Hejiang bridge was also the main port for people to go out of Sichuan. There was a Jinguan post in Ming Dynasty and a new ship tax office in Qing Dynasty.

Development history

Tang dynasty

In the Tang Dynasty, Hejiang pavilion was a bustling ferry terminal, where countless boats were moored, sailing into the Yangtze River at any time, and then down to the east Wu. In the Hejiang Pavilion, how pleasant and romantic it was for the literati to look at the white sails in the river under the pavilion, enjoy tea, recite poems or say goodbye to friends!

When Du Fu, a great poet of Tang Dynasty, lived in Chengdu in his later years, he once wrote in a poem: the window contains the snow of the west ridge, and the door holds the boat of Wu Wanli in the East. As we all know, Du Fu lived in a thatched cottage in Chengdu. What kind of scenery did he see at that time? According to Wu Chuanlu written by Fan Chengda, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Wanli Bridge was to the east of the thatched cottage at that time, and the Hejiang pavilion was to the east of the bridge. Fu River forms two rivers in the urban area and joins Hejiangting. There is a tributary in Huanhua Park, but you can't see the river in the thatched cottage, and you can't see the boat in the house. In addition, the word "Bo" indicates that the boat stops here, and there is no Wharf around Huanhua. Therefore, it can be inferred that Du Fu's poem was written in Hejiangting. The thatched cottage is close to the water. Of course, you can see the berthed ships. From the west window of Caotang, you can also see the Xiling (Minshan, commonly known as snow mountain).

In the first year of Yuanguan (785) of Tang Dynasty, Wei Gao, who was then the governor of Xichuan, dug Jieyu River in Chengdu, which flows from west to East. This water has brought great convenience to urban transportation, drinking water for citizens, industrial and agricultural water. The fine sand in the water can be used for Jieyu, which also promotes the development of jade industry in Chengdu. In the same year that Wei Gao dug jieyuxi, he built Hejiang Pavilion at the intersection of Pi River (now Fu River) and Liu River (now Nan River).

Hejiang Pavilion in Tang Dynasty did not stand alone at the confluence of the two rivers. It, together with zhangyilou and sanhualou, formed a gorgeous landscape from west to East. Zhang Yi tower was built in the late Warring States period after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Shu. It is said that it was built by Zhang Yi. Sanhua tower was built in the early Sui Dynasty. Both buildings are among the four famous buildings in ancient Chengdu. Unfortunately, they were destroyed in the war in the late Southern Song Dynasty. Like Hejiang Pavilion, they were excellent places for Chengdu citizens to play in Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is a prosperous period in Chinese history. Chengdu, as a metropolis in Southwest China, is naturally singing and dancing. People's lives are relatively rich, so the demand for "leisure" is also very strong. Obviously, a small Hejiang Pavilion can not satisfy everyone. So Wei Gao built a new Fanghua building next to Hejiang Pavilion, and planted many beautiful flowers and plants around the building, the most of which was plum blossom. Later, he built some lofts and pavilions around the pavilions, which became the final pattern of Hejiang Pavilion in Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was called Hejiang garden, which became the "resort of a county". Citizens began to visit here. Hejiang garden became the earliest "municipal public garden" in Chengdu history.

In the late Tang Dynasty, after gaopian changed the waterway and formed the pattern of two rivers embracing the city in Chengdu, the Hejiang Pavilion at the intersection of the two rivers became the preferred place for nobles, officials and scholars to feast and recite poems. Hejiang Pavilion became the main place of communication and entertainment for people at that time. Whether it was for literati to recite poems and Fu, welcome and send, entertain guests and friends, or ordinary people to take their families to the edge of the city for outing, flower appreciation, entertainment and rest, it almost all took place here.

Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty

During the Five Dynasties, Hejiang Pavilion became a special place for the royal family, and the "Municipal Park" was gradually far away from the people, and the ordinary people could no longer touch it. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the whole country was in frequent wars, and the state affairs declined. Those nobles were no longer in the mood to have fun, and Hejiang pavilion was abandoned.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, LV Dafang, the magistrate of Chengdu, was very sorry to see that the house of Hejiang Pavilion collapsed and the Liang family was incomplete, so he ordered people to repair it as a place for official administration of ships for banquets and entertainment. The disappeared plum blossoms also began to fragrance here again, and Hejiang pavilion was revived briefly. Although Hejiang Pavilion no longer has the glory of Tang Dynasty, it is also the first choice for Chengdu people.

Every winter, when the plum blossom is in bud, the officials will observe the plum blossom in Hejiang garden at any time, and report it to the government once the plum blossom is five points, which is the most suitable time to watch. The government would invite scholars to the plum blossom party. And the ordinary people are also happy to tell each other, together to enjoy the fun. Lu you once wrote: when he went to the west of Majin City, he was drunk as mud for plum blossom. Twenty miles of incense, Qingyang palace to Huanhua river. According to the research, the Meilin in Chengdu was not only found in the section from Qingyang palace to Huanhua River, but also extended from Huanhua River to Hejiangting.

In his poem from Hejiang pavilion to Zhaoyuan, Lu you wrote that there is no way for him to serve the country and his ambition is hard to pay

The government is plum blossom, recalling two capitals, and Begonia is full of Jinguan city.

Crow hide high, willow shade at the beginning of dense, horse Wade Qingjiang not born.

The wind sweeps the spring clothes and makes them cold, while the wine flows and the jade cheeks are covered. Old age

Wandering for a long time, the sound of corner painting at the head of the building with broken intestines.

Besides, Fan Cheng, Lu You's good friend and boss, has written many poems to describe the beautiful scenery around Hejiang Pavilion

"The green field and the plain forest, the clear water, are very similar to the south of the Yangtze River. On top of the pavilion is the Fanghua building. There are many plum trees planted in front and behind This is the place to enjoy the plum blossoms. The management inspection is next to the pavilion. Every flower blooms and three minutes later, the inspection department will make an application. The swallow will open in a day or two, and the supervisor will make an appointment. Since then, all the Shu people who came to Wu have boarded the boat. "

When he left Chengdu, his friends saw him off from Hejiang Pavilion, and even sent him all the way to Hejiang. Fan Chengda has a poem: "send me to Hejiang Pavilion. Don't let me go to Hejiang county."

Yuan dynasty

However, the Hejiang Pavilion did not prosper for long in the Southern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chengdu was in ruins under the iron feet of the Mongolian army, and the Hejiang Pavilion, like Zhang yilou and Sanhua Lou, was destroyed in the flames of war. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Hejiang pavilion with wild grass has been gradually forgotten by people. Only a small space is left at the intersection of the two rivers, and the rest has been occupied by private houses. The abandonment of Hejiang pavilion has lasted for more than 700 years.

modern

In 1989, the people's Government of Chengdu rebuilt Hejiang Pavilion. On the top of the double Pavilion, there are octagonal columns and glazed eaves. Beside it is an antique style porch and Tingtao boat. Inside it is a record of Hejiang Pavilion written by Zhao Yunyu, a modern calligrapher. The parapets around hold Hejiang Pavilion and Tingtao boat tightly in their arms. The scenery connected with Hejiang Pavilion is no longer Zhangyi building and Sanhua building, but Riverside Park and Wangjiang building. However, as in the Tang and Song Dynasties, Hejiang Pavilion is still an open municipal park for citizens.
