Confucius and the song stage

Sage food

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Confucius came to the state of Chen three times to give lectures. The last time was in 489 BC. King Zhao of Chu sent for Confucius to give lectures. However, the main principle of Confucius was how to let the ruler govern the country and how to let the ruler manage the people. The people of the state of Chen were unwilling. Before Confucius came to the state of Chu to see King Zhao, the people besieged Confucius and his disciples in a corner of Nantan lake Confucius and his disciples were dizzy with hunger when they were not given food or drink on a small island. Confucius and his disciples went to the lake to find food. Fish can't be caught. When Confucius saw a plant called Pu growing in the lake, he pulled it out. The green stem on the top couldn't be eaten, while the Pu root on the bottom was delicate, white, tender, crisp and delicious. Confucius and his disciples ate Pu root. For seven days, Confucius and his disciples lived on Pu root. This kind of Pugen is called "sage dish". It tastes delicious in cold sauce and braised in soy sauce. It has become a special dish in the major restaurants in Chenzhou City. When guests come from afar, this dish is indispensable. Seeing that Confucius had never starved to death for seven days, the people of the state of Chen also recited history lectures to his disciples all day long, so they respected Confucius as a true "Saint". Later, Chen people built a temple of sages on the besieged island of Confucius. The name of the temple is "Song string platform". On the stone pillars on both sides of the main hall of the song string platform, a couplet is engraved, which means "the song string in the hall can't hold the road for seven days, and the beans in front of the court still look up to the mountains for thousands of years", in memory of the three times that the old man came to Chen to give lectures.

Crossbow platform

Xiangetai, also known as ertai and jueliang temple, is located in Nantan Lake in the southwest corner of the county. There are two existing buildings on the platform and seven main halls. The main hall is the main building, with cornices and brackets, covered with green glazed tiles. There are 24 square pillars in Zhou Dynasty. The couplet engraved on the stone pillars of the main gate is "the hall can't hold the road for seven days; the court's zudou still looks up to the mountain for thousands of years." On the front door is a stone plaque erected in the 50th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1711 A.D.), which is written with three characters of "string singing platform". Xiangetai, formerly known as "Luotai", is named after yuanhezhi, which says that "King Chen of the later Han Dynasty was fond of shooting and tasted the crossbow.". During the reign of emperor Hanling, the Yellow turban uprising broke out. The revolutionary army was mighty and invincible, and the guards of counties fled. Only Liu Chong, the king of Chen, occupied the city surrounded by water. There were suspension bridges on all sides and thousands of strong crossbowmen with him. After a long time of attack, the rebel army finally seized the yellow scarf army, so it was also called "strangling platform". During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Confucius Temple moved here. In the sixth year of the reign of emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhizhou Ni Gao rebuilt the Confucius Temple and made statues of Confucius and ten sages. In the seventh year of Jiajing reign of emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty (1528 AD), there were seven main halls and two gates, named "jueliang Temple". In 1542 ad, Zhao Jiben, the censor, changed his name to "string song stage". In the 29th year of Wanli reign of emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty (1601 AD), the emperor Daoxu of Sui and Chen dynasties built an additional gate, which was called the gate of beauty and wealth. In 1628, Xiao Guobi rebuilt the statue in the hall. In 1713, duyushikui rebuilt the seven pillars of the hall, which were replaced with square stone pillars and covered with green glazed tiles. The statues of Confucius and ten sages were rebuilt. During the reign of Qianlong, Jiaqing and Xianfeng, it was repaired many times. The existing building was rebuilt in the 48th year of Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. Due to many historical reasons, this string singing platform, which is called one of the "eight sceneries" in Chenzhou by historical scholars, has lost its former glory and looks dilapidated. At the end of 1955, with the attention of the county Party committee and the government, the string singing platform was renovated. The wall and the main gate of the courtyard were repaired, and the statue of Confucius was rebuilt. The main gate of the string singing platform was majestic. In the hall, a three meter high statue of Confucius with a kind face and elegant clothes sits on the base of a one meter and five meter high stone statue. There are records of Confucius in Chen jueliang in Shiji · Confucius family, Han shiwaizhuan, Confucius family language, Confucius annotations, Soushenji and other books. In the third year of Chen Dynasty, Confucius was an official of the state of Chen.

Stele of ertai

Confucius, a generation of Confucianists and educationists, whose outstanding thoughts were concentrated in these works, had a great influence not only on China, but also on the world. The scholars of history all admire him very much. Even Confucius lobbied Chen Cai, and the less glorious history of jueliang in Chen CAI was praised as Confucius' great achievement by Confucians. Wang Yu, a generation of litterateur, in the stele of ertai in Chenzhou, compared Confucius' misfortune to Chen CAI with "heaven and earth misfortune to the dark moon, sun and moon misfortune to the thin eclipse, Emperor Shun misfortune to Lishan, Dayu misfortune to flood, Chengtang misfortune to xiatai, Wenwang misfortune to Li" put on a par with. Zeng Gong, one of the eight great masters of the Tang Dynasty, also boasted that Confucius Chen Cai jueliang was a sage who could not disobey the way of the sun and the moon. Huaiyang is the place where Confucius can teach. Among his 72 proud disciples, four are from Huaiyang. In addition, Confucius has been known to the world for thousands of years. Therefore, Chen people built ancestral temples to commemorate the hardships and hardships of Confucian ancestors. On May 1, 1996, Hong Kong entrepreneur Tang Enjia, President of the Hong Kong Institute of Confucius, consecutively donated a three meter bronze statue of Confucius to the only Confucius Temple in Henan Province, which was completed and unveiled in Chenzhou. The main building in the platform, Dacheng hall, has been renovated. The National Tourism Administration has listed this scenic spot as a must see spot on the national tourism special line of "Confucius travels around the world". The string singing platform, a historical scenic spot, will soon become one of the places for people to explore the ancient world.
