Hearing thunder weeping tomb

Wen Lei's weeping tomb, also known as Wang Li's weeping tomb, tells the story of Wang Li's filial piety in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This is the 16th story in twenty four filial piety. Wang Li, with the name of Wei Yuan, is filial to his parents. The mother lives in the sun, and the nature fears thunder. Since he died, he was buried in the mountains and forests. Every time he encountered wind and rain and heard thunder, he ran to the tomb and said, "here, mother, don't be afraid.". He lived in seclusion as a professor and read the book of songs until he mourned for his parents. When he was born to me, he shed tears three times and the back door people abandoned the book of Polygonum. Mother afraid of hearing thunder, ice soul night platform. When Ah Xiang was shocked, he went back to the tomb.

brief introduction

Wang Li was born in Yingling (now Southeast of Changle, Shandong Province) during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He was erudite and versatile. His father, Wang Yi, was killed by Sima Zhao. He lived in seclusion to teach. He never faced the West and said he would never be a minister of Jin Dynasty. His mother was afraid of thunder when she was alive and was buried in the mountains after her death. Whenever the wind and rain weather, heard the thunder, he ran to his mother's grave, knelt down to comfort his mother, said: "son here, mother don't be afraid." When he was teaching, whenever he read the chapter of Polygonum Curcuma, he often cried and missed his parents. Later generations have a poem: mother afraid of hearing thunder, ice soul night platform. When Ah Xiang was shocked, he went back to the tomb.

comment

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wang Li was born in Yangying, Jincheng (now Yangjun in Changle County, Shandong Province). He is eight feet and four inches long. His appearance is unique. He is erudite and versatile. His moral character is noble. His words and deeds must abide by the etiquette and law. He serves his relatives with filial piety.

When his mother was alive, she was extremely timid and afraid of thunder. After his mother died, he was buried in the mountains and forests. Every time he encountered wind and rain and heard thunder, Wang Li immediately ran to his mother's cemetery, knelt down and cried, and told him: my Wang Li is here, mother, don't be afraid! His poem is very vivid: mother afraid of hearing thunder, ice soul night platform. When Ah Xiang was shocked, he went back to the tomb. Ice soul describes the pure quality of plum blossom and lotus. There is another meaning here. It refers to the cold of invading bones because of sleeping in the tomb at night. Night platform, refers to the tomb, tomb. A Xiang is the goddess of pushing thunder cart in mythology and legend. There is also the saying of a Xiang cart, which refers to the car of Thunder God, or the sound of thunder. It can be seen in the fifth volume of SouShen Houji by Tao Qian of Jin Dynasty. However, when we read this, we will immediately remember that there is also a record in the biography of CAI shunzhuan in the book of the later Han Dynasty: my mother was afraid of thunder all her life. Since her death, every time there was a thunder shock, she would cry around the grave, saying: Shun here. It can also be seen that the ancients had the same pattern in expressing filial piety.

Wang Xiu, Wang Li's grandfather, was a famous scholar in the state of Wei. His father was Wang Yi, who was Sima Zhao's Sima. He was killed because he had offended Sima Zhao. Wang Li took his mother and brought his father's coffin back to his hometown of Changle, where he lived in seclusion, farming and eating for himself, and living as a professor.

He did not face the West all his life and said that he would never be a minister of Jin Dynasty. "Book of songs · Xiaoya · Polygonum zedoary" says: Polygonum zedoary, bandit e Yi Hao. I'm sorry for my parents. That is to say, the long and big zedoary is not zedoary but Artemisia; sad, sad, my parents, it's really hard to raise me. Polygonum in the text means long and big. Zedoary, American food. Wormwood, grass. Zedoary wormwood, also known as Luohao, baoniang wormwood. The meaning of the poem is very metaphorical, e wormwood often grow with its old roots, just like a son depending on his mother. When he grows up, his parents give birth to me. However, Artemisia can't be eaten, which is more regretful than Yuzi's inability to raise his parents. It is said that every time Wang Li read here, he often shed tears. Later, his disciples even avoided the chapter of Liao E and did not read it.

After the establishment of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan knew Wang Li was virtuous and talented. He not only pacified his father Wang Yi, but also invited Wang Li to be an official for many times, but Wang Li refused. It is said that he built a house on the side of his father's tomb, knelt down in front of the Tomb every day and night, and climbed up the mournful bark of the cypress, tears splashed on the branches. As time goes on, the trees wither. Wang Li was moved by his filial piety and was once regarded as filial and honest. In 311, Emperor Huaidi of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Yao of the Han Dynasty captured Luoyang, burned, killed and plundered it. There were bandits all over the Qi area, and a large number of relatives and friends moved to the south. However, Wang Li loved his ancestors and refused to leave, so he was killed by the bandits.

According to relevant materials, Wang Li, a filial son, was an example of Confucianism and official education of the past dynasties to educate the people and students and advocate filial piety culture. In 1466 A.D., the second year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty, Fan Wei, the magistrate of Changle County, advocated Confucianism. He built an additional Tomb of Wang Li in his hometown and engraved a memorial to the tomb of Wang Li, the filial son of Wei, to show his virtue. Since then, filial piety has been advocated in the countryside, and there have been many repairs and steles in the past dynasties.

In the 51st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Xu Renyuan, who was in charge of Changle County, wrote a poem in his tomb of Wang Li, which said: the supreme nature is solitary, and the heaven is peerless. All my life, I'm ashamed to sit in the west, and I'll never forget the north corner of Changlu. The tombs were built to protect the people, and the towns were built to protect the officials. Liu Jun's hand planted trees and cypresses, don't send mourning soul to shed tears.

Today's relevant written materials are also worth quoting and recommending. I see that there are many introduction materials on the Internet.

According to the historical records of Changle County, the tomb of Wei Xiaozi Wang Li is located 55 Li southeast of the county, eight Li East of masongji, which is now wangliyuan village, Yingqiu Town, Changle County. The village, formerly known as Taohua village, is close to Wang Li's tomb. Wang Li's tomb has two incense parties on March 3 and September 17 of the lunar calendar every year. It is spectacular and famous for its vigorous incense. After a long time, the name of Taohua village gradually faded, and the name of wangjuyuan became more and more obvious, so it was renamed wangjuyuan. Wangliyuan village is located 30 kilometers southeast of Changle County, north of Jiaowang Road, 5 kilometers west of Masong town. Wang Li's tomb stands majestically in the west of the village. In front of the tomb stands the tombstone of Wang Li, Wei Xiaozi in the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, which is 2.2 meters high and 1.1 meters wide. There are six inscriptions on both sides of the tomb courtyard, surrounded by cypress, Sophora japonica, poplar, etc. the courtyard is simple, broad, peaceful and solemn, which makes people awe.

According to the old people in the village, Wang Li's tomb has the aura of immortal and living people. When someone is seriously ill, he goes to pray for worship, and often gives God medicine, which is very effective. It is said that Wang Li's filial piety moved the Jade Emperor and gave him a license to avoid hail. Therefore, hail disasters rarely occurred near Wang Li's courtyard.

According to legend, Wang Li's tomb originally had a large courtyard, surrounded by brick walls, which was nearly 100 meters from north to South and 60 meters from east to west, covering an area of nearly 10 mu. In front of the tomb, there are three pavilions, eight octagonal stone pillars, carved beams, painted buildings and flying eaves. At that time, the tomb was more than 20 meters high, and there were more than 60 big pine trees in the courtyard. In 1947, on the eve of the liberation of Wei County, the pine trees in the cemetery were all cut down by the Kuomintang Chen Jincheng's troops to build the blockhouse. During the cultural revolution in the 1960s, the courtyard walls and steles were basically destroyed. Today's situation of Wang Li's tomb is that after the reform and opening up, the villagers donated money to rebuild it, collected some ancient steles, re engraved many inscriptions, and planted some trees around it.

Wang Li's tomb was destroyed several times in modern times, but the current situation is not the same as before. The state and scale of Wang Li's tomb are very different from its original appearance. Although the town government and the surrounding villagers have successively invested more than 200000 yuan, collected some ancient steles, re engraved many inscriptions, published relevant books, and have been listed in the key cultural relics protection units at the county level. But this is far from enough. In order to restore the original scale and shape, we need to pay more attention and increase investment, so as to truly protect and inherit this precious intangible cultural heritage.
