summary

Hanyao is located outside xiuren village, Hejin City. This hole is located in an earthen kiln with a length, width and height of less than 3 meters from east to west. It is said that it was the place where Xue Rengui and Liu Yinghuan lived. The earthen Kang and stove traces in the kiln were rebuilt in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. A "white robe cave" is built on the south side dozens of steps away from the kiln, in which there are two sitting statues of Xue Rengui and his wife and a white horse. The east wall of the cave is embedded with a tablet from the sixth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty,

It was written that "there is a benevolent kiln at the head of hugang, which is called hugang. It's made in heaven and earth. When you climb on the mountain, you can see that the Fenshui River is like a rainbow, and the Fengshan mountain is in the East. " It is also called "the kiln is the place where the couple of the king of Ping Liao lived in poverty". The king of pingliao is the title of Xue Rengui. We can roughly understand the condition of Xue Rengui's cold kiln from the inscriptions.

Geese shooting tower

Located on a small dirt road in the south of Xiucun village, Hejin City, Shanxi Province, is the geese shooting tower, where Xue Rengui and Liu Yinghuan met. The pagoda is eight section high and made of brick. The top of the pagoda is a crystal glass gourd. At the north foot of the pagoda is the ancient official driveway (iron footed car). The official road leads to Longmen in the west to Xi'an City, and to Houma City in the East. The wind chime on the pagoda is gentle, and the Millennium sound is still audible today. This bell reminds people never to forget that this is a treasure land of geomantic omen. There is another legend about the tower built in the Tang Dynasty: when the Fenhe River was flooded, a cart of big wood was salvaged in the flood. The iron footed cart had been silted in the mud pit and could not move forward. Fortunately, Xue Rengui took the initiative to solve the problem, so he drove the car out of the mud pit to solve the problem. Liu Yinghuan, the daughter of Liu Yuanwai, saw the scene in the high embroidery building of her home, but what she saw was not Xue Rengui, but a big white tiger pulling the trapped car forward. Liu Yinghuan's love for Xue Rengui began to germinate and developed into a partner. Later generations built this tower in memory of this allusion, so it is called white tiger tower. There was a memorial tablet under the tower, but it was stolen later.

Tomb of the king of the Liao Dynasty

There is a small mound under baihugang in the northwest of hanyao, with its back against baihugang and its south facing Fenhe River. The geomantic omen is excellent. Here is Xue Rengui's graveyard, implying that the Xue family will always be protected and prosperous. Xue Rengui was once named the king of pingliao, so it is also called the tomb of the king of pingliao. The grand Tomb of the king of pingliao shows the great achievements of Xue Rengui's life. From hanyao to here, we feel Xue Rengui's extraordinary life from poverty to glory. Jiangjun Road, 150 meters long and 5 meters wide in front of the tombstone is Jiangjun road. On both sides of the road are arranged stone figures and Stone Beasts facing the cemetery. The stone figures closest to the king's tomb are the images of the eight chief soldiers led by Xue Rengui.

Memorial square

With an area of about 2000 square meters, the square is magnificent and dazzling.

Stage: facing to the south, facing the Royal ancestral temple, it covers an area of about 8-6 square meters, with a base height of about 2 meters. It is a brick and stone structure, with a height of 6 meters. It is a wooden structure building with a veranda roof. The main function of the stage is to offer sacrifices to Xue Rengui and other large-scale activities.

Bell and Drum Tower: it covers an area of about 6.5-5.5m2 and is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is the drum tower and the lower floor is the bell tower. The bell and Drum Tower is a brick and wood structure with a height of 8m.

Baipao cave

Inside the hall, there is a sitting statue of a general in white robe. On both sides are the standing portraits of the Eight Generals under his command. The murals show Xue Rengui's March routes to the East and West. From the battle map, we can see that the Tang army was very powerful at that time, and Xue Rengui made great contributions to the country.

kilns

This is the place where Xue Rengui and Liu Yinghuan lived together at that time. Inside the kiln are a discarded spinning wheel and Xu Wei's dilapidated daily necessities, such as pots and pans. On the wall is a picture of a bow and arrow used by Xue Dingshan, the son of Xue Rengui, to shoot geese when he was young. The house on the left side of the cold kiln is designed as a storage room.

Come to the courtyard here, wooden fence, pomegranate trees, stone white, just like a small courtyard. When we come here, we seem to go back to the time when women were pounding rice and men were hunting.

Kuixing Building

In ancient Chinese mythology, Kuixing was regarded as the God of the rise and fall of articles. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kuixing was molded as the God of Chinese style (examination). The height of Kuixing tower was 8 meters, the base was 0.75 meters, and the length and width of the base were 6 meters. On the first floor of Kuixing building, there is a statue of Kuixing with a right hand held high and a pen of number one scholar in hand. On the four walls, there are plaques written by celebrities such as "good luck", "smooth progress", "Wen Guang shedou". On the stone inlaid steles, there are names of Jinshi, number one scholar and cultural celebrities in the village for commendation and commemoration. 2、 The third floor is basically closed.

Brief introduction of Xue Rengui's life

Xue Rengui (614-683 A.D.) was named Li and Rengui. When he was young, he lost his father, and his family was poor. He worked in farming. He had excellent strength and was good at riding and shooting. Taizong of Tang Dynasty was very powerful and wanted to recruit troops from Liaodong. Xue Rengui obeyed his wife Liu's advice and went to join the army with general Zhang Shigui. During the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, he personally attacked Korea and andicheng. In the battle, Xue Rengui was strong and valiant. Dressed in white, he marked himself with a halberd in both hands and a bow in his waist. He rushed to the enemy with a cry, and the enemy was defeated. As a result, Xue Rengui was promoted to the right leader Zhonglang general, and he made many remarkable achievements in the subsequent war. Finally, he went to the left Xiaowei general, the governor of Youzhou, and became the Duke of Pingyang County. As the saying goes, "the general comes out of the tiger", Xue Rengui's descendants also have many good officials. His eldest son, Xue Na, was a good soldier and an important general in the period of Wu Zetian. His sun Xue Song, a literary talent and military strategist, once participated in the pacification of the rebellion in Anlu mountain. He served as the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and the official of the censor. He was granted the title of Gaoping County King and renamed Pingyang County King. He was a famous hero in history. The descendants of Xue Rengui, as well as Xue Ping and Xue Cong, were important officials of the Tang Dynasty. Throughout Xue's genealogy, most of them lived as officials and were loyal to the Tang Dynasty. As a result, there are many novels, storytelling and classical operas of the Xue family in history, such as "Jiu Zong Ju Shi", "Xue Gang's anti Dynasty" and so on. The story of the Xue family reflects people's reverence for the loyalty of the Xue family to the country and the adherence to justice, and expresses people's love for the general of the Xue family. Historical evaluation:

Li Shimin: "my old generals are not as old as I am. I can't bear to be sent by others. If I want to promote Xiaoxiong, I'm not like Qing. I don't like Liaodong, but I like Qing.

Li Zhi: "Qing took the lead, regardless of his life, left to right, and all the troops, Jia Yong, to skrjet." "When you come to the Jiucheng palace, you are already a fish. Qing also attacked the nine surnames in the north, Korea in the East, and the northern Han Dynasty and the eastern Liao Dynasty were obedient to Sheng Jiao. Although you have, how can you forget each other? It is said that some people in Wuhai City, Yunqing, have failed to attack the thieves, which is the only thing I hate. "

Jia Yanzhong: "Xue Rengui is a brave leader of the three armies, and his reputation can inspire the enemy. "

Li Longji: "it's rare for Qing Fu to be brave. It's not in ancient times." (to Xue Rengui's son)

Zhao Kuangyin: "fierce one."

"The old book of the Tang Dynasty:" benevolence, valiant and brave, for a time of outstanding, to the loyalty of the general, upright. Eh, if you don't agree with me, I will defeat you. Confucius said, "it can be established with power, but not with power." Those who have done meritorious deeds and know their officials
