brief introduction

Shouqiu is located in the east of Jiuxian village, 4 kilometers east of Qufu City. According to ancient records, it is the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor. Emperor Zhenzong of the Song dynasty built a jingling palace in Shouqiu to offer sacrifices and respected the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor. There were 1320 jingling palaces with jade statues of emperors, which were worshipped in the temple. The ritual system was the highest at that time. Unfortunately, the temple was destroyed in the late Yuan Dynasty. Now it is a park. The stone tablet in the park is the largest stone tablet in China. Now the garden covers an area of 37 mu, with double steles and a pool. It is not true that the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu. The originator of this view is Kong Anguo. As a native of Qufu, he forged this theory. Later, influenced by this, huangfumi also echoed this view in Emperor Century. But this view has been denied by scholars of past dynasties and today. In modern Chinese historiography circles, Kong Anguo's falsification was proved by a mountain of hard evidence. Shouqiu theory is a pseudo theory. Later, jingling palace built by song Zhenzong was also identified as a pseudo site.

The reason why Shouqiu's theory doesn't hold water

1. In the ancient books of the Warring States period and pre Qin period before Qin Shihuang's "burning books and burying scholars", such as Guoyu, Zuozhuan, Zhushu chronicle, Huangdi jiandayi and so on, "Huangdi" has never had any contact with Qufu! Moreover, these books all point out without exception that "the Yellow Emperor has a bear family", "the Yellow Emperor lives in a bear" and the activities of the Yellow Emperor near the Bear Kingdom. 2. The first person who put forward that "the Yellow Emperor was from Qufu of Shandong" was the Han Dynasty in Shandong Qufu Anguo. Since the Tang Dynasty, people have mixed jinwenshangshu and guwenshangshu together. Later, after the textual research and analysis of some scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is confirmed that the 25 pieces of guwenshangshu handed down by Kong Anguo in the Han Dynasty and the shangshuzhuan written by Kong Anguo are forged, Therefore, it is called "pseudo ancient book of history" and "pseudo Confucian biography of history". This problem has become a final conclusion in the academic circle. Before that, all official histories pointed out without exception that the Yellow Emperor had the Xiong family and lived in Xinzheng, Henan Province. 3. Another supporter of "Shouqiu theory" is Huang Fumi, a scholar of the Western Jin Dynasty, but his views are self contradictory; moreover, more than 500 years ago, the history books have clearly recorded where the Yellow Emperor came from. If we look at huangfumi's notes about the Yellow Emperor in historical records, we will find that huangfumi's notes about the Yellow Emperor are contradictory, and many places can't justify himself. For example, he admits that the Yellow Emperor has a bear family and lives in a bear family, but he calls the Yellow Emperor "born in Shouqiu" without any basis. Historical documents show that more than 500 years ago, the history books clearly recorded where the Yellow Emperor came from. The Bamboo Annals of the Warring States period says that the Yellow Emperor "lived in a bear", and Shiben of the Warring States period, Shiji of the five emperors and dadailiji of the Han Dynasty all say that the Yellow Emperor "lived in the Xuanyuan mound". The location of "Youxiong" and "Xuanyuan mound" has been identified by historians of all dynasties as Xinzheng County, Henan Province In fact, after huangfumi put forward the theory of Shouqiu in Shandong Province, Wang Jia, a historian at that time, said tit for tat in shiyiji: "the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan came from the land of bears". Chen fengheng's Bamboo Annals collection in Qing Dynasty quoted Zheng Huan, the Taichang Shaoqing of Ming Dynasty, as saying: "the son of Shaodian of Yellow Emperor was born in xuanyuanqiu of Xinzheng, not Shouqiu of Yanzhou." Guo Yuanheng also said in the imperial capital of all dynasties: "the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu (Xinzheng, Kaifeng prefecture). 4. Confucius, the ancestor of kong'an, has never been mentioned in the biographies of Confucius left by modern people that Confucius worshiped the Yellow Emperor in his hometown (and in the same county). Moreover, Confucius never mentioned that "the Yellow Emperor is in Qufu". However, Confucius, who strongly advocated "following the ancient sage king", ignored his hometown as the ancestor of humanity It's not reasonable, but it's a big problem in the world. 5. The historical materials of Huangdi recorded in ancient books are not matched with the geographical environment near Qufu. Qufu is an unnamed mountain, and the specific addresses of "Chuci mountain" and "fenghouling" recorded in a large number of historical materials of the Yellow Emperor have been confirmed by textual research. "The Yellow Emperor will see the mountain of Dazi, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the emperor of Chang, the horse in front of Zhang Ruo, the horse in front of Zhang Peng, the horse in the back of Kun, and the funny car in the back. As for Xiangcheng's wilderness (Huang Di Jiang Jian Da Yi by Zhuangzhou in Warring States period) (the Historical Atlas of China Edited by Mr. Tan Qiyi indicates on the map of Xia and Shang dynasties that there are two major geomorphic features in Xiong's area: Yingshui in the South and Da Yi mountain in the north. (according to the records of geography in Hanshu, there is Da Yi mountain in Henan County, which covers Yu, MI and Xin counties. " In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan, a great geographer, made an on-the-spot survey. In his annotation to the water classic, he said exactly: "Da Yi is a mountain with CI mountain." 6. Before the Western Han Dynasty, Qufu had no legend or relics of the Yellow Emperor. There were dozens of relics of the Yellow Emperor in the surrounding counties and cities of Xinzheng, covering Xinzheng, Xinmi, Xiangcheng, Yuxian and other counties and cities. They were systematic and complete, and could correspond to the ancient books of the pre Qin Dynasty one by one. This was just the scope of Xiong's activities.
