The source of Xie Gongyan

Xiezhuang (421-466), with the word Xiyi, was born in Chenjun of Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty. He is a famous scholar and writer. It is said in Shi pin that his poems are "elegant in climate" and "prosperous in leisure". Love landscape, there are five sons, named "Yang, Dan, Hao, Yue, Ding", the world called Zhuang Er "fengyuejingshanshui". In 449, Emperor Wendi of the Song Dynasty came to Xiangyang with the birth of King Liu to join the army for consultation. Liu Shi is the author of Xiangyang music. Other scholars who came to Xiangyang were Shen Huaiwen and Jiang Zhiyuan. During his stay in Xiangyang, he traveled to Xianshan every spare time and wrote poems and Fu, so he left a famous place for later generations.

"Xiangyang County annals" says: "Song Xiezhuang Town Xiangyang, every leisure time to visit this rock, people then named Xiegong rock, Xiezhuang cave." "The collection of ancient and modern books" also says: "Xie Gongyan is five miles southwest of the county. Xie Xiyi used to travel here in the past." In addition, there are inscriptions, inscriptions, etc. The tablet of Xie Gongyan was written by Liu Dan, and the table of Xie Gongyan was written by Feng Ruoyu. There is a wonderful description in Feng Wenzhong: "the rock is at the foot of Xianlu. It is as if it were a Ying, a urn, a hanging, a protruding, a butting, a propping and a splitting. The extreme state of the rock is as good as it can be. It's amazing that you can't distinguish between earth and stone When you visit this rock and read this article, you will know that what you have said is true.

Cultural influence

Li Mengyang is the literary giant who left his poems here. He was the leader of "the first seven sons" in Ming Dynasty, advocating "literature must be in Qin and Han Dynasties, poetry must be in Tang Dynasty", advocating the restoration of the ancients. In 1512, he was removed from office and later left Xiangyang. In 1516, he left Xiangyang after the flood. During his four years in Xiang, he left many poems and essays. Among them, there is the poem "Deng Xie Gongyan": "the rivers and mountains of the hundred battles are here, I come to the autumn of vegetation. At the entrance of the lonely city, Xiangshui mat flows. When you go to the Kingdom, you will be able to give thanks only to the marquis. When I'm drunk, I'll remember the bamboo slips and fly to the pool. " The second couplet can be combined with the two sentences in Xie Zhuangdong written by he Zongli: "the Chu peak welcomes the households and the Han River leads the city to flow".

In 1608, Yuan Hongdao, the leader of Gong'an School, traveled through Xiangyang and wrote two poems by Xie Gongyan. Influenced by Li Zhi's thought, Gong'an School advocated "expressing one's personality independently and not sticking to one's style", which was quite influential in the literary world of the late Ming Dynasty. He traveled with Yuan Hongdao and wrote poems by Gu Langya of Wu County, Yu yezonghou of Xiangyang, and his cousin Wang Yikuang. In Yuan Hongdao's poems, "the road is lost, the clouds lead each other, and the bamboos on the cliff can help each other", "the clouds can be embellished together, and the stones are exquisitely carved. The spring falls as a window path, and the fragrance flows across the stream. All these are good sentences to describe the scenery of Xie Gongyan. Can you not be relaxed and happy when you visit this rock and recite this poem?

Xiegongyan scenic spot has been deserted and revived many times in history. According to Feng Ruoyu's Xie Gongyan table, there were several times in Ming Dynasty alone. In the third year of Jiajing (1524), Xu Gongyi, the former prefect of Haiyan, was commended. For more than 60 years, I've spent a lot of time looking at the rock. It's hidden and re written. " That's twice. The third time was in 1607, the 35th year of Wanli, when he bought it from the Marquis of yezong. The ornaments were decorated with pavilions, pavilions, hurdles and beams, and the rocks were magnificent It's 395 years ago. I don't know how many vicissitudes it has gone through? Now it's time for it to show its charm again and make contributions to the construction of a big tourism city.

Visit the famous places

"In the mountains and rivers, I come to the autumn of vegetation. At the entrance of the lonely city, Xiangshui mat flows. After going to the Kingdom, the two kings can only thank the Marquis for the title of the rock. When they are drunk, they return to the mountain to remember the bamboo slips and fly to learn the pool head. This poem is a famous poem written by Li Mengyang (a Jinshi in the sixth year of Hongzhi in 1473-1530) of the Ming Dynasty when he ascended xiegongyan, a famous scenic spot in the south of the city.

More than 1500 years ago, Xie Xiyi came here with the same mood as Li Mengyang. Seeing that the entrance of "Gucheng" (Xiangyang City) falls and Xiangshui (which originates from Liuzi mountain in the west of the city, Tanxi flows to the north and Xiangshui flows to the South) changes into a stream, it is satisfied to think of "Tiyan only Xie Hou" (meaning to name Shanyan only Xie Zhuang after his surname) although it is "Quguo (far away from his native land)" and "shuangwangcan" (saying that he left his hometown as well as Wang can). When Xie Gong was in Xiangyang, the landform was Han River, Tanxi River and Xiangshui River converged and flowed around the county city. Xiangshui river flowed along Zhenwu mountain, Yanghu mountain and the foot of the north foot of Zhengjia mountain to the East, and then went south around xianshou mountain to Guanyin Pavilion. Ships came and went into Hanjiang River. Xiangyang was probably a standard landscape city in China thousands of years ago.

Although Xie Gongyan is besieged by urban buildings, the old style still exists.
