Idioms and allusions

Wei Chan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "the orchard at the foot of Helan Mountain has become famous in the north and the south of the Yangtze River." The earliest person who put forward Lingzhou as "the northern and southern regions of the Great Wall" was Lang Mao of Sui Dynasty. The earliest book that recorded the origin of "the northern and southern regions of the Great Wall" should be sui Lang Mao's book Sui Zhou Jun Tu Jing at the beginning of the seventh century. However, Tu Jing has been lost. This part of the content can be seen in the book Taiping Yu Lan compiled by Li Fang of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the records in the volume 164 of Taiping Yulan, "Lingzhou (now the ancient city of Wuzhong City in Ningxia), (SUI langmao)" tujing "says: in the second year of xuanzheng of Zhou Dynasty (should be the first year of xuanzheng of Zhou Dynasty, 578), Wu Mingche, the general of Chen Dynasty, was defeated and moved to Lingzhou." (the ancient Lingzhou city was set up in 191 four years ago by Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty. It is located in the ancient city of Wuzhong, Ningxia. Today's Lingwu City is a "new city" of Lingzhou built in 1428 after the three migrations of Lingzhou in Ming Dynasty. Wu Zhong and Lingwu both belong to the same ancient Lingzhou. Lang Mao's book "tujing" further points out that "the people on the left side of the Yangtze River worship etiquette and are eager to learn, and their customs are integrated, so they are called" the north and the south of the Yangtze River ". This is more than 1400 years ago in 578 ad, Lingzhou has been known as the "northern Jiangnan" the earliest origin. How many people moved to Lingzhou? There is no record in the book of pictures, but it is recorded in history that in the Later Zhou Dynasty, the great general Wang Ji broke through Chen general Wu Mingche and so on, "captured and chopped more than 30000 people." Lang Mao is a famous historian of Sui Dynasty. He is an official of "Shangshu zuocheng". He has written 100 volumes of Zhoujun tujing, in which Lingzhou is introduced as "the north of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River". Therefore, it was Lang Mao of Sui Dynasty who first proposed Lingzhou as "the north and south of the Great Wall". Wei Chan was the first poet to praise Lingzhou as "the north and south of the Great Wall". In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all aspects of Hedong area of the Yellow River in Ningxia were further developed. Lingzhou became the military, political, economic and cultural center in the north of Ningxia, and became the headquarters of Shuofang Festival envoy. Therefore, in the late ninth century, Wei Chan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, first proposed Lingzhou (the former site is in the ancient city of Wuzhong City in Ningxia) as an ancient poem of "the north and the south of the Great Wall": Lu pan came to Lingzhou in the 10th year of Xiantong (869) to serve as Lingwu envoy. Therefore, Wei Chan's farewell poem should also be written in the 10th year of Xiantong (869). Wei Chan of the Tang Dynasty, who was sent to the Minister of Lu pan, became an orchard at the foot of Helan Mountain, which was famous in the north and south of the Yangtze River. the water and wood of all families are dark, and the bows and swords of thousands of teams sing in iron. he has a low heart and can be a general. He has the courage to join forces. But Ma Qian did not believe that he was a scholar. from the title of the poem, it is a farewell poem. The friend that poet Wei Chan wants to see off is lupin. Lu pan was once a member of the etiquette Department of the school inspector, so Wei Chan called him Lu pan Shang Shu. Lingwu refers to Lingwu County, namely Lingzhou. Lingzhou was once called Lingwu County in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is called Lingwu for short. Therefore, Lingzhou in the poem is not the same as Lingwu County in the north of the Yellow River, nor does it refer to today's Lingwu. Today's Lingwu is Lingzhou after the three migrations of the Ming Dynasty. It was only in 1913 that Lingzhou was changed to Lingwu county. "Zhi" means to go to Lingwu. It means to go to Lingwu and Lingzhou. What are you doing in Lingzhou? As Lingwu Jiedushi, is Shuofang Jiedushi. At the beginning of the poem: "orchards at the foot of Helan Mountain have become famous in the north and the south of the Yangtze River." Lingwu is Lingzhou. What is it? This is a city of orchards at the foot of Helan Mountain. The city is famous in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Because, as early as the summer Helian vigorous period, Lingzhou area is Helian vigorous orchard city. As early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was recorded by Lang Mao in Sui Dynasty more than 1400 years ago, Lingzhou already had the reputation of "the north and the south of the Yangtze River". The sentence of "water, wood, family and Zhu family are dark" further explains why Lingzhou is an orchard city. "Bows and swords, a thousand teams, iron clothes sing." Lingzhou is described as an important military town in northern part of the Great Wall. Next, the poem praises Lu Panshi, an outstanding militarist and cultural relic General of Lingzhou. Lu pan once served as the governor of the town of Yilang, Jiannan, Xichuan, the Minister of inspection, the Minister of rites, wailang, and also served as the censor, Shangzhu state, and granted Feiyu bag. Xiantong ten years (869) as Lingwu Festival envoy. "Li Shu Zhen" and "Hong Yu Ling Wu". after Sui and Tang Dynasties, the north and south of the Yellow River were further expanded. Yinchuan and Shizuishan districts in the north of Lingzhou (today's Wuzhong City) and Zhongwei districts in the south of Lingzhou (today's Wuzhong City) further built channels to develop irrigation from the Yellow River. The whole irrigation area of the Yellow River in the Yellow River Plain in the north of Ningxia has become "the north and south of the Yellow River". Nowadays, people used to call the irrigation area of the Yellow River in the north of Ningxia as "the north of the Yellow River" "Jiangnan". Researcher Wu Zhongli, a famous local chronicle expert in Ningxia, a librarian of Ningxia literature and history, and former vice president of Ningxia Academy of Social Sciences, put forward: "when did the concept of" Saibei Jiangnan "in historical books change to" saishangjiangnan " He pointed out: "look up all the historical books and poems after the northern and Southern Dynasties." for example, "Lingzhou" in the tujing of langmao of Sui Dynasty It's called "the northern part of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River" and "the orchard at the foot of Helan Mountain has become famous in the northern part of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River" in Tang Wei Chan's poem "sending the book to Lupan" We can also cite the poem "Ningxia" written by Meng Kui of Hedong road in Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty: "on the first day when the sages and sages were in harmony, the culture and education in the north and the south of the Yangtze River were well connected." In the early Qing Dynasty, Liu Fangyou, a local official of Ningxia, wrote the poem Shuofang: "the name of the northern part of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River is old." The poem "Lotus Lake Fishing Song" written by Wang Sanjie, a local scholar in Ningxia in the Qing Dynasty: "that knows that in the north and south of the Yangtze River, there is always a bright moon with reed flowers. "It's all" north and South ". Wu Zhongli pointed out: "even to the records of shuofangdao in the period of the Republic of China, there was no trace of" the great wall goes up to the south of the Yangtze River. " That is to say, from the southern and Northern Dynasties to the Republic of China history books and poetry, can not find "saishangjiangnan", only "saibeijiangnan". So when did "south of the Yangtze River on the Great Wall" appear? The conclusion of Mr. Wu Zhongli's research is: "it seems that the difference between" Saibei "and" Saishang "is only the work of contemporary people." "Maybe 'Saishang' is more suitable for covering the whole Ningxia plain than 'Saibei', or 'Saishang' is more popular and colloquial than 'Saibei', and there is no special difference in the rest." In other words, the ancients called it "the north of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River", but today it is called "the north of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River". (BSL 2015.3.8.) "saishangjiangnan" refers to the Yellow River Diversion Irrigation Area in northern Ningxia, not Ningxia saishangjiangnan, that is, saibeijiangnan. The most basic condition is that because of the irrigation of the Yellow River, the north of the Great Wall is the same as the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, it is said that the Yellow River irrigation area in the Yellow River Plain of Ningxia today is "the north of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River" or "the north of the great wall and the south of the Yangtze River". On the Internet, some people say that Ningxia is "the south of the Great Wall". For example, "Qianlong net" says: "in the east of the northwest, there is a magical hot land, known as" the south of the Yangtze River on the Great Wall. "This is Ningxia." Such a statement should not be very accurate. Because today's Ningxia, including today's northern Ningxia, also including the counties and cities in the central and southern mountainous areas of Ningxia, there are still many poor areas with drought and water shortage in the mountainous areas of Ningxia. At present, under the leadership and support of the central government, the local people's government is investing a lot of money to solve the living and living problems of farmers in mountainous areas. For example, in the southern mountainous areas, the poverty alleviation irrigation project of diverting water from the Yellow River to the mountains, including Hongsibao irrigation area and Guhai irrigation area, or the migration of farmers from poor areas in southern mountainous areas to Sichuan area, is implemented to improve the quality of agriculture in Southern Ningxia Gratifying achievements have been made in the living and living conditions of the people. At present, the first phase of Ningxia poverty alleviation irrigation project has completed the development of irrigation area of 500000 mu, and the immigrants have completed the transformation from subsistence to prosperity. In Hongsibu Development Zone, the largest immigrant Development Zone in Ningxia, the per capita net income of immigrants in 2007 was 2290 yuan, which was 4.5 times that of 10 years ago. The first phase project of aiding the poor and pumping the Yellow River irrigation has brought obvious economic and social benefits. However, arid mountainous areas are arid mountainous areas, and dry and water deficient mountainous areas are not "south of the Great Wall". Therefore, it is not appropriate to say that "south of the Great Wall" is Ningxia. （BSL2015.3.10.）
