The origin of the name

Tonggong, the red bow and arrow, was awarded by the emperor to the meritorious princes in ancient times. The word "tonggong" first appeared in the book of songs, in which there is a poem "tonggong", which describes the grand occasion of the emperor's giving bows and banquets to the princes. The poem says: "tonggong" is hidden by words. I have a guest from the center. Once the bells and drums have been set up, we can enjoy them. It's said that it's so beautiful. I have a guest. The center is very happy. Once the bell and drum are set up, it will be on the right. He is a man of words. I have guests. The center is good. Once the bells and drums are set up, they will be rewarded in one dynasty. Coincidentally, tonggong township has a tonggong mountain village. Most of the villagers are surnamed Xu. According to the genealogy, they are descendants of King Xu Yan. It is said that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, Xu Sheng, the king of Xu state, dug out a pair of "red arrow" or "red bow" when digging the canal. People all over the world thought it was a sign of auspiciousness, so the eastern Vassal States elected Xu Sheng king of Yan. At the end of the Song Dynasty, a branch of the Xu family moved from Lingshan in Longyou County to Changshan. Its first ancestor, Xu Guozhen, took the post of deputy commander of the army. To commemorate the legendary deeds of the ancestor "tonggong", he specially built a meeting hall, named "tonggong Mountain House", from which tonggong mountain got its name.

Historical evolution

It is said that after Xu Guozhen moved to Changshan, he finally moved here after several surveys. In the Qing Dynasty, Zhan Shaozhi wrote a poem "present tonggong Xu's old house" praising: "bailing towering tianchiwu, under which there is the temple of King Yan; circuitous Gangfu, acting on its spirit, is still tonggong, lasting forever. A water jade is as urgent as a string, and the green screen is as clear as a block. Whose family is the White House in the mountain village. Poems, books, rites and music have brought Sun Mou and Kejia culture has brought ancestor Wu. It's like a half moon in the sky, with 30000 households hidden in the concave; it's like a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, with dragons and snakes on the left and tigers on the right. According to Xu's Genealogy (1838 Edition), there are 15 officials in tonggong mountain, including 51 scholars and squires. They are either officials or officials, or do good deeds, or heirs. They have their own strong points. The most famous of them are Xu Hai and Xu Jinling. Xu Hai was the first Jinshi of tonggong mountain. He was a clean and strict official. He was not afraid of the powerful. He once faced Xu Chu (the fifth grandson of Xu Da), the Duke of Wei, who was neither humble nor arrogant. He returned the occupied land to the people according to law. He was deeply loved by the people and was tired of being an official to the Chief Secretary of Sichuan Province. Xu Jinling is Xu Hai's cousin. He is meticulous in his work and has excellent ability. In his official career, he has been ordered to deal with many complicated political affairs like "hot potato". The emperor rewarded him and made him go to Huguang to participate in politics.

Stories and legends

The thick history endows tonggong mountain with many moving legends. It is said that Xu Jinling, a posterity of tonggong mountain, went to visit his family in the back garden and couldn't put down a brush of his uncle's. Later, with this pen, Xu Jinling passed the provincial examination, the general examination and the palace examination at one stroke, and won the gold medal. Some people say that this pen was originally given to Zhan's children and grandchildren by Yan Song in return for the kindness of Zhan's grand duke, and the inside of the pen contains the secret of "test questions"; others say that the pen is indeed a gift from Yan Song, but its beauty is not that it contains "test questions", but that it is originally a magic pen, so Xu Jinling's wonderful pen blooms in the examination room. This pen has left the folk saying that "the nephew is not the nephew, and" the nephew enters the top three after the uncle sends a pen. ". there is also a legend about Xu Diao in tonggong mountain. He was over 40 years old and had no children. He visited famous doctors and paid homage to the spirit temple, but his wife's stomach didn't move. In desperation, Xu Diao thought that "Shinto is hard to believe, Yin has a sign", which is tantamount to admitting one's fate and simply using money to do good deeds to accumulate Yin virtue. At that time, there was a river called Wu Ni Keng in tonggong mountain. People who waded across the river often suffered from diseases. It was very inconvenient for people to pass by. So Xu Diao invested money on his own and built a bridge on the river to benefit the people. After the completion of the bridge, Xu Diao got two sons. The local people were very surprised, so they called the bridge "Mengxiong bridge" (a sign that the ancients made a living by seeing bears in their dreams). It is said that all infertile people go to Qiaotou to worship in order to get pregnant and have children, which is quite effective. There are many legends about tonggong mountain, but no matter it is the legend of magic pen, or the legend of Mengxiong bridge, or the legend of black faced general, all of them use the past to satirize the present, implying that people yearn for success and happiness.

natural scene

Walking into tonggong mountain, the most impressive thing is the lush ancient forest. There are camphor, maple, Castanopsis sclerophylla, Toona, Sophora, pine There are dozens of species. In ancient times, it was five or six hundred years old, and it was difficult for several people to hold each other. In small size, it was as thin as a thumb, and the villagers recently planted it. This is undoubtedly due to tonggong mountain people's simple folk custom of "cherishing trees as life, protecting trees as responsibility". For them, this large area of ancient forest is not only beautiful scenery, but also geomantic omen. It is the green source of tonggongshan family's prosperity. The village's "Xu's genealogy · volume head · clan rules" specially records that trees, or shade the dragon vein, or decorate the scenery, are very important. Those who live in the mountains around the giant wood, is the ancestral book. It has been conservative for hundreds of years, and since then, no matter what the mountains are, they are not allowed to cut down and fight privately. If they violate the rules, they will be judged as defeating the clan. The clan leader will beat the drum to attack it, and cut its name from the genealogy. They will also call the officials to study the governance. The wise descendants should be cautious. according to the genealogical records, those who cut down ancient trees without permission will be punished as "the crime of defeating the clan", and the clan leader will beat the gong and drum in person and announce that they will be kicked out of the genealogical sequence; the second is to seize and send them to the government for punishment. Tonggong's Xu's genealogy was first compiled in 1532, which shows that it has been 480 years since this genealogy was implemented. It was the foresight of Xu's ancestors that made the ancient forest in tonggong mountain one of the few ancient trees in the county despite the changes of the times.
