Kuishan pagoda

Kuishan pagoda is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xuzhou. Kuishan is located in the southeast of the ancient city of Xuzhou. The famous scenic spot is Kuishan pagoda, one of the ancient "eight scenes of Xuzhou", which is called "Kuishan pagoda shadow".

Kuishan tower is located on the main peak of Kuishan in the southeast of ancient Xuzhou City. In 1606, it was built by Wan Chongde, a native of Xuzhou. The tower has seven floors and is about 60 meters high. The top tree is a wheel type tower brake. The plan of the building is octagonal. The tower is of brick structure, and the internal stairs and floors are of wood structure. The Kuishan pagoda is majestic and exquisite in architecture. Tasha was destroyed by lightning in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. In 1950's and 1960's, the tower was basically in good condition, but the brick foundation collapsed. There were many cracks around the tower, and the tower was upright without inclination. Kuishan pagoda was demolished under the pretext of "four old" during the "Cultural Revolution".

jukui college

Jukui academy is one of the 36 scenic spots in Hubu mountain. "Kuiyu" refers to Kuiyu, one of the twenty-eight in the sky, the first of the seven white tigers in the West. Kuiyu contains sixteen stars, which are similar to words. The ancients believed that kuisu was in charge of articles, literary affairs and literary movement. It also refers to the emperor's handwriting as Kui painting and Kui Zhang, and the Secretary Supervisor (the official in charge of the emperor's Books) as Kui Fu.

The ancients also thought that the two hundred and eighty-six places and the nine states were corresponding to each other, and Xuzhou belonged to the three places of kuilou stomach. Therefore, there have been Kuishan, Kuihe and kuilou in Xuzhou since ancient times. The South Gate of the old city is called kuiguangmen, which is why. Jukui, the name of the Academy, means that Wenxing meets and Wenyun is prosperous.

Xuzhou is indeed a large number of ancient writers: Huai Nan Zi (also known as Huai Nan Honglie) by Liu An of Han Dynasty. Liu Xiang, a Sinologist and bibliographer, wrote Gu Liang Zhuan and lie Nu Zhuan. Liu Xin, the founder of ancient Chinese classics, was awarded the title of "National Teacher" and wrote "seven strategies". In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling (the word Fu Han) promoted Taoism in Sichuan. Liu Yiqing of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote a new account of the world. Liu xiaochuo of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty wrote a preface to the collection of Prince Zhaoming. Tan Sitong proved that he was the founder of Chinese couplets. The couplet said, "close the door and celebrate. Lie high and thank Gongqing." Liu Zhiji's Shi Tong in Tang Dynasty is the first monograph on historiography in China. Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, said, "how much sorrow can you have?" to rank as a masterpiece throughout the ages. Chen Shidao, a poet of Song Dynasty, is one of the Six Gentlemen of Su Shi's family. He is a famous poet of Jiangxi poetry school and is famous for his painstaking recitation. Chen duo's Sanqu in Ming Dynasty was called "king of music". Li pan, the number one scholar of the Qing Dynasty, was named Xianli. Zhang Zhupo's comments on "Jin Ping Mei" are called "the first wonderful book". Li Lan, a deaf Taoist, is known as "the first person in Jiangbei". Zhang Boying founded Pengcheng calligraphy school and became one of the four great calligraphers in China during the period of the Republic of China. Wang Ziyun's sculpture is rare in China and has cultivated such a master figure as Liu Kaiqu. Xiao Yishan (named Guisen) wrote the general history of the Qing Dynasty with more than 4 million words by himself. He was the first person to manage the history of the Qing Dynasty. Li Dazhao and Liang Qichao wrote the preface and presented the book to Xuzhou library, his hometown. Li Keran's traditional Chinese painting and Marco music are even more excellent. Wu Heng named the asteroid. Yan Shouping is known as the "master of Jinghu", which is rarely seen in China. These talents are first-class in China. Isn't this the result of Kuixing division?

There is also an interesting phenomenon. It seems that no political scientist or historian has ever studied whether it is accidental or inevitable that the emperors of Xuzhou have been superposed since ancient times. However, Su Dongpo paid attention to this problem more than 900 years ago. In the book of the last emperor of Xuzhou, he said: "Pei people of Han Gaozu, Suqian people of Xiang Yu, Pengcheng people of Liu Yu, Dangshan people of Zhu Quanzhong are all hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou today Ear. " As a matter of fact, the Taishou did not say all about it. Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei, Emperor zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, were all descendants of Liu Bang and should be Pei people. Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, was born in Pei state (now Bo County, Anhui Province). Xiao Daocheng, the High Emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and Xiao Yan, the Liang emperor of the Southern Dynasty, were the descendants of Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the early Han Dynasty. Li Min, the ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was born in Xuzhou, his grandson Li Yu, a famous poet, and the author of "when is the spring flower and Autumn Moon" is the later master.

After Dongpo, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, said in the history of the Ming Dynasty that he came to Pei to seek his roots and ask his ancestors. Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was born in Huaxian County, Guangdong Province, according to historical records. However, according to the genealogy of Hong family, which was returned to China in 1980 by Professor Jinzhi Kojima of Japan, Hong's ancestral home is xiapi, Pengcheng. It turns out that this heavenly king is still a native of Suining.

Besides Xiang Yu, all of them were founding emperors, including 11 people. Is this astonishing fact also the result of Kui Su division?

It should be noted that Dangshan was changed to Xuzhou in Ming Dynasty, and Suqian was subordinate to Pizhou in Huai'an Prefecture for a long time in history. In recent years, Suqian became a provincial city in Jin Dynasty.

Jukui Academy was built in the late Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, located in the west side of Xi Ma Tai. It has trained a large number of talents for Xuzhou.
