Chonglige

Chonglige

Chonglige, commonly known as Wangjiang tower, is located in Wangjiang Park in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and is a famous scenic spot in Chengdu.

Construction history

Chongli pavilion was built in 1889, when Liu Bingzhang, governor of Sichuan, gathered the gentry in Sichuan to raise funds to build it on the site of Huilan pagoda. It is named after Zuo Si's Shudu Fu, which means "both beautiful and respected, and actually named Chengdu". Because the body of the building is located by the Jinjiang River, it is also known as "Wangjiang building". It has become a symbol of Chengdu.

Loft overview

Chonglige, the most magnificent building in Wangjianglou Park, is 39 meters high with four eaves. There are two floors of cornices below and two floors of octagons on the top. The ridges and bird terraces of each floor are decorated with exquisite clay sculptures of animals and birds, carved figures, red pillars and green tiles. There is a spiral ladder to the top of the pavilion. The top of the pavilion is a gilded top, shining in the beautiful sun.

There is Wenqu star worshipped upstairs. When you climb the Wangjiang tower, you can see the winding Jinjiang River.

The four story Chongli pavilion has a very beautiful and spectacular appearance. It stands on the edge of the river and looks at the magnificent scenery of the snow mountains in Northwest China. Chonglige, built on the edge of Jinjiang River, is an integral part of the river. The whole picture combines hardness and softness, and combines vigor and spirituality, forming a beautiful picture.

Loft long couplet

Chonglige has two couplets, which are famous all over the country and can be regarded as the best of couplets. One of the couplets is 212 words long. It expresses feelings through scenery. It talks about the past and discusses the present. The couplets are completed at one go, engulfing the mountains and rivers. This couplet was written by Zhong Yunfang, a strange hero of the Qing Dynasty. He once wrote a 1612 word couplet in Linjiang building in Jiangjin, and it is also the first one in China. It is said that at that time, Zhong Yunfang was sent to prison for denouncing corrupt officials. He wrote this couplet to express his injustice.

First couplet:

Several floors, supporting the East Peak alone, unifying the water and remote mountain, for Zhang painting, gathering Congling snow, scattering Baihe smoke, baking danjingxia, dyeing Qingyi fog. Sometimes poets hang on to the past, and sometimes brave men raise the border. Only pitiful pistil floating, early buried boudoir mirror, loquat lonely, empty stay green Villa fragrant grave. I have mixed feelings about this. Smiling butterfly always indulges in dreamland. Try to shout from the top: ask, who is this half of the moon?

Second couplet:

For thousands of years, he has repeatedly changed the Xichuan Bureau, made great achievements, pretended to be a hero, leaped to the hillock and ascended the dragon, perished the Phoenix in front of the slope, crouched down the tiger, and chirped the frog at the bottom of the well. All of a sudden, it is not like a long song and a short Fu, but rather like a long song and a short poem, which is full of sorrow and sorrow. Ho Yu Cu Cu, no return to the world. If you jump to death, you will fall into the trap of heaven and earth. And to head Fu: look, which cloud is my heaven?

Shanglian means to climb the high Wangjiang tower and view the rivers and mountains far and near. There are so many beautiful rivers and mountains. Li Deyu in the Tang Dynasty and Fan Chengda in the Song dynasty built the Chibian building in Maozhou, which can make the poets and poets hang on to this building. Xue Tao's spring boudoir is short, and Yuan Zhen, who is so ungrateful, only leaves a deep loquat lane, which makes it difficult to be lonely. Now there is an empty incense grave. Today, those who are looking for flowers and asking about butterflies are so greedy that they can't help but raise their arms and ask who owns this half moon?

The second couplet means that for thousands of years, the situation in Sichuan has changed, and the tragedies and comedies in the world have been performed, calling out heroes. Zhuge Liang in WoLonggang, Pang Shiyuan in luofengpo, Li Xiong, a hero of Di nationality, and Gongsun Shu, a frog in the well, all seem to have passed away. It's better to write a long song and a short Fu to relieve sorrow and hatred and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I can't imagine that I'm not talented enough. The world is so big that I have no place to live. Even though the monkey king has great ability, he can't escape from the hands of the Tathagata Buddha. And look down to the tall building, which cloud belongs to my sky?

Later, this couplet was known by Cen Chunxuan, governor of Sichuan Province. He was deeply impressed by his talent and rescued from prison. After Zhong Yunfang got out of prison, he waved a book to carve wood, and hung the couplet on Chongli Pavilion, so it was passed on for a while, and it is still elegant today.

Chonglige also has a pair of strange couplets. It is said that he was a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty. One day, when he went up to Wangjiang tower, he saw the beautiful scenery along the river. On the spur of the moment, he wrote down the first couplet, which was immediately said to be unique. So he was intoxicated with the meaning of the first couplet, but the second couplet was not satisfactory. He had to regret that he wrote the first couplet on Wangjiang tower. Over the past 100 years, it has attracted thousands of scholars to deal with it, but it is not satisfactory.

The first couplet is: "Wangjianglou, wangjiangliu, Wangjianglou, wangjiangliu, Jianglou, Jiangliu."

When can there be absoluteness in this enchanting second couplet?

Yinyuejing, yinyueying, yinyuejing, yinyueying, yuejing, yuejing.

It is said that in the 1930s, Li Jiyu, a famous scholar in Shifang, traveled alone on January night, strolling by the well of Yinyue. At this time, the vast moon was in the sky, and the ancient well of Yinyue was sparkling. The scenery before him made him write like a spring, Inadvertently, I think of chonglige, Wangjiang tower in Chengdu, which no one has ever been interested in. The first couplet is "Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang River, Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang River, Jianglou River forever", so I blurt out: "yinyuejing, yinyueying, yinyuejing yinyueying, yuejing Wannian, yuejing Wannian", which is very stable and appropriate in content and form. It is really an article It's made by nature. I got it by chance, and it's a good story. In the 1950s, when I was studying in Shifang middle school, I often invited two or three students to play there in my spare time, playing by the cold Yinyue well. It's really unforgettable, and I don't want to go back Every year, monks and Taoists often offer sacrifices in Qingshui. At that time, the residents of Heba street and xiaohuayuan street have been drinking the water from Yinyue well for generations. I remember that there were stilts, tea shops, restaurants, cigarette stands and Sichuan Opera halls along the Bank of Heba street at that time, extending into the city along the winding qingshihe street. Here, there is an endless stream of tea tasters and opera spectators, and there are endless Hawking and shouting along the street. It's really lively. Now, all this has nothing to do with the grand scene of fangjiang Yinyue Chongli Pavilion, Wangjiang tower, Chengdu, is still here today.

In the late 1950s, when former president Liu Shaoqi came to Chengdu, he witnessed this famous ancient couplet. When he learned that the next couplet was "yinyuejing, yinyueying..." When he asked the staff where yinyuejing was, he replied: North of Shifang, 70 kilometers away from Chengdu As time goes by, when Wangjiang tower is still a beautiful scenery, Yinyue well has disappeared and become a dusty historical memory.
