Help me introduce Suizhou

Geography

Suizhou is located in the northern part of Hubei Province, straddling latitudes 31 degrees 19 minutes to 32 degrees 26 minutes north and longitudes 112 degrees 43 minutes to 113 degrees 46 minutes east. The city is about 130 kilometers long from north to south and 105 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total of 9,636 square kilometers and a population of 2.58 million. Among them, 4,285 square kilometers of mountains, 2,094 square kilometers of hills, 530 square kilometers of Pingfan, and 80 square kilometers of riverbanks, accounting for 61.3%, 30%, 7.6%, and 1.1% of the total area, respectively. Suizhou is adjacent to Nanyang and Xinyang in Henan Province in the north, and connected with Jingshan County and Zhongxiang City in the Jianghan Plain of Hubei Province in the south, which is exactly in the intersection of the Yellow River Basin in the north and the Yangtze River Basin in the south, which can be said to be connected with Wanyan and Luoyang in the west, and reaching Wuyue in the south, and the place is a stronghold of Jing and Yu, and a chokehold of Xianghan and Han. Gu Zuyu "read history FangYiJiYao" had Suizhou's geographic situation was depicted as: "with the north of Strider Er, east of shielding the Han Shin, between Xiang, Ying, Shen, between the An, is really important; Yi Yang Nanyang of the lock and key, with the Division; its mountains and streams around, passes beside the list, a few of the bird paths goat's intestine of the risk of the Xun martial arts must be funded also."

Before the middle of ancient times, the Suizhou area was covered by the primitive sea. In the subsequent Lvliang tectonic movement (about 1.7 billion years ago), because the earth's tectonic movement intensified, magma continues to burst, the earth's crust has occurred a strong fold and uplift, local seawater retreated, so that Hubei within the Exi and Dabie mountainous area for the first time to become a land, but Suizhou area is still sleeping in the sea. Early Cambrian (around 600 million years ago), including Suizhou, the area around the Dahongshan Mountain only became an ancient sea island. In the late Cambrian period (around 500 million years ago), large-scale volcanic eruptions occurred in the Suinan Basin. At the end of the Silurian (around 400 million years ago), Suizhou and even most of Hubei became land as the Wudang Mountains in northwestern Suizhou grew up to become land. In the Permian (more than 200 million years ago), the earth's crust once again rise and fall frequently, the Hubei region and there are two large sea into the sea recession, Suizhou area is also in the hidden changes. Until the end of the Triassic period (about 200 million - 190 million years ago), the crust rose again, Suizhou finally said goodbye to the sea along with the entire Hubei region.

The earth's tectonics created Suizhou's peculiar terrain and complex topography, forming a good terrain characteristics and complex geomorphology: mountains and rivers intertwined, valleys and slopes, hills and flatland echo, "thousands of mountains, thousands of springs and hundreds of holes". To the north of Suizhou is Tongbai Mountain, which belongs to the western part of Huaiyang Mountain Range, and its main peak is Taibai Peak with an altitude of 1,140 meters, and to the southwest is Dahong Mountain, which belongs to the folded and fractured mountain range, and its main peak is Baozhu Peak with an altitude of 1,055 meters. Between them are hills and slopes, the center is a northwest ---- southeast oriented narrow plain, called with jujube corridor, which is an important channel for ancient and modern north-south interaction. On top of the plain, there? The water flows through it. Water is the largest tributary of the Han River east, it originated in the northern foot of the Dahong Mountain, flowing through Suizhou, Anlu, Yunmeng, to the junction of Yingcheng and Yunmeng Shrimp Tsui diversion, the western branch of the northern Hanchuan to the new ditch injected into the Han River, the eastern branch of Yunmeng into the filial piety to Wuhan Chenjiakiri injected into the Yangtze River. On the ? both sides of the water, love a hundred tributaries were distributed in the form of leafy veins, in which the flow of the larger jerky water, drifting water, poor water, even water, etc., to form a relatively independent water system, which can be called clroger water basin. It can be said that the rivers are long and the land is fertile. Similarly, the tectonic action of the earth has left Suizhou with rich mineral resources such as marble, copper, gold, iron, sulfur and oil.

Ecological environment

Suizhou is in the middle of the mid-latitude monsoon circulation area, belonging to the northern subtropical monsoon climate. Influenced by the seasonal changes of solar radiation and monsoon circulation, Suizhou has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons, abundant light, abundant rainfall, a long frost-free period, and a short period of severe cold and heat. According to statistics, the average annual precipitation in most areas in 865-1070 millimeters, the total number of hours of light in 2009.6-2059.7 hours, the average annual temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius, frost-free period of 220-240 days. Warm climate conditions, good geomorphological features, creating a superior ecological environment, especially along the Dahong Mountain, retaining a lot of valuable plant species, including mainly in the subtropical broad-leaved evergreen forests and the northern subtropical ever-deciduous mixed forests. The luxuriant plants and sufficient fruit roots make Suizhou's animal resources correspondingly rich, ranging from coelenterates, insects, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds to mammals, all of which are available, and some precious species such as giant salamanders and goldfishes have been preserved so far. It can be said that since ancient times, the land of Suizhou has been an ideal site for plants and animals to live and reproduce.

The natural environment and biological resources are the material basis for human survival, especially in the ancient times of mankind, a good natural environment and biological resources are the necessary conditions for the survival and development of primitive human beings and social progress. Because Suizhou area is in the friction generation since the climate climate is suitable, abundant rainfall, dense forests, green grass, fruit roots rich, many animals, coupled with the Dahongshan limestone along the distribution of extensive, the development of caves, therefore, Suizhou land has become an important area of the Stone Age of mankind, but also one of the important source of China's prehistoric civilization.

Chimes and Suizhou

Chimes and Suizhou

In the spring of 1978, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, broke a news that stirred up the whole country and even the world: two kilometers to the west of the city in a place called "Drumming Dun," a large wooden-coffin tomb of the early Warring States period was excavated. --Zeng Houyi Tomb, the tomb unearthed a large number of exquisite cultural relics, many of which have a peculiar shape, exquisite artifacts are never before seen treasures.

At that time, due to the "Cultural Revolution" has just ended soon, the army is still involved in some of the work of the local, and my unit is the only division in Suizhou, so in the local invitation, our troops involved in the excavation and protection of the tomb, and at that time, I have just been transferred to the division's political department news officer, I had the opportunity to get close to the work, and I had the opportunity to get in touch with the work of the ancient tomb. At that time, I had just been transferred to the political department of the division as a public information officer, and had the opportunity to have close contact with this work, so for part of the work of excavating the ancient tombs, I personally experienced it, and I still remember some of the scenes at that time. "Drum pier" before the excavation is just an ordinary hillock, looking north of Tongbai, south of the Eddy Mountain (Dahong Mountain), mountains stretching, the ancient mound Sen Sen. According to legend, in 605 B.C. (Chu Zhuang Wang nine years), Yin (equivalent to prime minister) Du Yue Pepper started a rebellion to run with, Chu Zhuang Wang led his troops to chase, personally beat the drums to supervise the battle, and finally wiped out the rebels, thus giving this place its name. Two thousand years later, one day, with the People's Liberation Army strategic construction of a gunshot, so that the silence of many years of the place once again famous - an unprecedented archaeological discovery in front of the world.

Tomb of Zeng Houyi was built on the slope of red sandstone, chiseled stone for the cave, the owner of the tomb is the early Warring States State Zeng State (in the Spring and Autumn period for the territory of Suizhou) a king named B. The tomb is located in the south of the city, and the entrance is 21 meters from north to south. The mouth of the tomb is 21 meters long east to west, 16.5 meters wide north to south, 11 meters deep, the tomb Xieng Khouang area of about 220 square meters, the shape of which is very much like our today's three-room apartment, divided into east, middle, west, north four rooms, are with giant high-quality catalpa wood partitioned into a small room, with a total of 380 cubic meters of timber. Among them, the largest room, north-south length of 9.75 meters, east-west width of 4.75 meters, mainly placed in the chimes and other bronze ritual objects, the remaining three rooms to place the coffin and other burial goods. The main coffin is divided into inner and outer two layers, the outer coffin is 3.5 meters high, inside and outside of the coffin are painted; Martyrs coffin 21, more colorful, the martyrs are mostly 13-25 years old young women. From the bones of sharp instruments or struggle situation analysis, these martyrs may be buried or killed into the coffin, see the martyrdom system implemented by the slave society is extremely cruel.

The ancient emperors in order to prevent their tombs and their burial goods were destroyed and stolen, often at the expense of human and material resources, the tomb is very strong, the protection measures are also quite tight. This is also the case with the Zenghouyi Tomb. From the entire structure of the tomb, the upper part of the coffin room and the surrounding area was filled with thick charcoal, weighing about 60,000 kilograms in total, which was used to prevent moisture. Charcoal covered with a layer of half a meter thick catalpa wood square, catalpa wood filled with more than 10 meters thick green paste mud yellow brown soil, this soil has a very strong sealing effect. Above the brown earth are densely arranged stone bars weighing several tons, called the top stone. Only further up is a thick layer of mounded earth.

However, even such tight precautions failed to deter grave robbers. Excavation process, in the tomb above the western end of the discovery of a by the overgrown surface straight into the chamber of the depth of more than ten meters of the hole, the bottom of the hole in the chamber of the silt, found a skeleton and a few pieces of ancient grave robbers with tools. According to the analysis of archaeological experts, tomb raiding took place in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when wars broke out frequently, people do not have enough to live, a few grave robbers riding the darkness of the moon and the wind, late at night, to come to the tomb raiding, after a few nights, after exhausting the efforts of the nine oxen and two tigers, and finally the hole through. However, I do not know is the deep chamber of the lack of oxygen, or the tomb of what hidden weapons, a grave robber waist tie rope, just entered the chamber will be dead, the upper side of the people see this scene, are fleeing every day. Fortunately, the tomb artifacts were not lost.

I don't know is due to thousands of years of natural seepage, or that piracy to the hole, the tomb opened, found that it is full of stagnant water, the water was black-brown, as the coal kiln out of the general, all the cultural relics are immersed in the water, none of them are immune. But it is puzzling, in the sewage in the annihilation of more than two thousand years of various cultural relics have not been damaged, unearthed a little bit after finishing, will be as bright as the beginning of the first time, brilliant, the style is still.

Excavation of the ancient tomb of the project is huge, green paste mud, heavy stone bars, square catalpa wood, black charcoal, weighing thousands of tons of mulch, and a piece of precious artifacts, all need to be transported from the ground up to the ground, for this reason, our troops specifically sent a company to cooperate with the archaeological team, spade digging pick-axe planing, day and night, but also specially deployed a crane (crane driver Comrade Ma Shuxiang, is now transferred to work in Xushui County Public Security Bureau) specifically responsible for the Public Security Bureau) is specifically responsible for the heavier cultural relics lifting, to ensure that the excavation work went smoothly. With the tomb water was drained, a large number of artifacts inside the tomb was revealed. By the archaeological work command and the army chief consultation, all the unearthed cultural relics are transported to the army barracks with military vehicles, placed in our division auditorium wide stage, one by one for inventory, wipe, organize and test.

After a preliminary cleanup, Zeng Hou Yi Tomb **** unearthed a variety of bronze ceremonial objects, musical instruments, weapons, gold, jade, horse and carriage, lacquer and wood and bamboo slips and other cultural relics more than 15,000 pieces, large and small, forests, placed in the auditorium, just like a medium-sized museum. The artifacts unearthed in the tomb can be said to be exquisite, each one is amazing. I remember, there is a two-foot-long gold springs, is less than a millimeter in diameter of the gold wire twisted and become, hold in the hand, full of elasticity, glittering, so that it is difficult to imagine, in the conditions at that time, the craftsmen are how to forge the molding; in the many cultural relics, there are dozens of wooden lacquer is also very eye-catching, lacquer bowls, bowl, box, etc., coated with a code of the inside of a brick-red, painted on the outside of a black-and-red Lacquer painting, the performance of the theme is generally swimming fish, mandarin ducks, etc., colorful, vivid patterns, these lacquer ware after a long period of soaking in mud and water buried, not only did not change shape, corrosion, even a little faded off the lacquer place are not, it is unbelievable.

There is a later by the experts named "deer crane" bronze, is so far, at home and abroad in the unearthed artifacts are unique, modeling is very chic: a long slender crane head but with two antlers, singing, spreading their wings want to fly. Looking at this extraordinary temperament, lifelike "deer crane", so that people can not help but admire the rich imagination and creativity of the ancestors. Later, the "deer crane" was also Suizhou City as their own city logo, from Wuhan along the 316 National Highway by car to Suizhou, a into the city, will be far to see that the proud "deer crane" stands in the street flower beds, seems to show people the ancient Suizhou's splendid civilization! (The mascot of the Eighth China Arts Festival in 2007, Chu Chu, was based on the deer and crane.

However, in the Zenghouyi Tomb unearthed cultural relics, the most striking or that 124 pieces of ancient musical instruments, which is a huge scale, the best preserved percussion instrument - the most spectacular bell. This set of bells *** 65 pieces, weighing more than 2,500 kilograms, less than a bucket as big as the big ones are five or six hundred kilograms, well-designed, magnificent, unearthed in three layers hanging in the copper casting of the bells on the frame, as long as the strike engraved in the bells below the position of the marking tone, you can send out or mellow or crisp sound, a wide range of tones, beautiful timbre. Tested by Hubei Province experts with precision instruments, its accurate pronunciation with modern standard musical instruments is not the slightest difference! I remember, at that time, after the test, the experts present were shocked half speech, how they can not understand, 2500 years ago, mankind, very simple smelting conditions, but how to cast such a beautiful musical instruments? This set of chimes unearthed shocked China, shocked the world, the world's attention, known as "the world's wonders in the unique treasure", "the ancient world's eighth wonder".

In the process of cultural relics cleanup, Hubei Documentary Film Studio film crew came in a hurry, in a comprehensive reflection of the excavation work at the same time, focusing on filming the chimes playing. So, in our troops auditorium, under the guidance of experts, by our division propaganda team of several female soldiers as musicians, a unique chimes concert opened: the East is red, the sun rises, China out of a Mao Zedong ...... bells sound beautiful and majestic, shocking. Later, it is played by the chimes of this "Red East" music is also in China launched on artificial Earth satellites repeatedly played, the ancient rhyme and new sound, spread around the world, spread to space. Some time ago, I had the honor to set foot on the land of Suizhou again. At the foot of the Eddy Mountain, the water river, now the "drum pier" has been set up as an excursion scenic spot, picturesque, tourists weaving.

Two, Yandi Shennong and Suizhou Lishan

Since Shennong and Yandi have different times early and late, so it is appropriate to separate the two in the discussion of their birthplace. As for the birthplace of Yandi Shennong after his unification, it is a different matter.

(I) Shennong's birthplace

According to a large number of documents, Shennong was born in Lieshan. According to the "Guoyu" (The Language of the Kingdom), "Shennong was born in Lieshan. Lu language" said: "the former Lie Shan's have the world also, its son said column, can reproduce hundreds of grains and vegetables." Zuozhuan? Zhaogong twenty-nine years" also said: "There are Lie Shan's son said column for Jigen, since the summer above the sacrifice." The Book of Rites? Sacrifice Law" is basically the same: "Li Shan's world also, his son said Nong, can reproduce hundreds of grains; Xia's decline also, Zhou abandoned following the, so the sacrifice as Jik." The previous section has been fully demonstrated that Lie Shan Shi, Lie Shan Shi, Li Shan Shi is actually a person, its son column or agriculture that is Shen Nong. Lie Shan, it is likely that Shen Nong's predecessors can also be said to be the first generation of Shen Nong set fire to the land, or people to the name of the mountain, or the mountain to the name of the person, in short, Shen Nong from the Lie Shan has been unquestionably.

Tang Dynasty, Xiao Deyin edited "Bracket" records: "Lishan in Suizhou Suizhou County, north of 100 miles, east of the mountain has a stone cave. In the past, Shennong was born in Lixiang, the so-called Lieshan's also, in the Spring and Autumn period for the state of Li." ? Li Jifu in the late Tang Dynasty compiled the "Yuanhe County Records" recorded: "Suizhou County, the old county of Han Dynasty, belongs to Nanyang County. The city of Suiguo is also known as Suiguo City, which has remained unchanged through the ages. ...... Lishan, also known as Lie Mountain, one hundred miles north of the county. "Rites of Passage" said: Li Shan's, Yandi also; starting in the Li Shan, so said Li Shan's."

The Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Cun and other editors of the "Yuanfeng nine domains of the Zhi" recorded: "Suizhou: Shennong Temple, in the Li countryside."

Southern Song Dynasty Luo U "road history" records: "Shennong well in Lai Mountain (that is, Knight Mountain), the old saying that draw a well, then eight wells are moving, people do not dare to touch. Today, only a cave, large trees next to the shade, that is, where to set up the community."

Chang Xuecheng in the Qing Dynasty presided over the compilation of "Hubei Tongzhi? Public Opinion and Land Records" records: "Lai Township, in the state north, now known as Lai Mountain store. ...... also cloud lai township, the former lai country also. There is Shennong She."

The above records invariably show that Shennong was born in Lishan, Lishan is located in the north of present-day Suizhou. Shennong was born in Suizhou, Li Shan, said that the generations of the same cause, the word, enough to prove that it is not false.

(2) Yandi Shennong's unity after the birthplace

While the historical facts of Yandi Shennong's unity was formed in ancient times, but the concept of unity was only formed in the Qin and Han dynasties.

The earliest scholar to point out the birthplace of Yandi Shennong was Zheng Xuan, a famous scribe of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zheng Xuan based his theory on the "Guoyu? The first scholar to point out the birthplace of Shennong was Zheng Xuan, a famous scribe of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhaogong twenty-ninth year" in the Cai Mo about the Lieshan clan and its son of the pillar of the remarks, with reference to the Qin and Han dynasty Yandi and Shennong unity of the definitive statement, in the "Rituals" for the similar record? In his commentary to a similar account in the Rituals and Sacrifices, the Li Shan or Lieshan Clan was regarded as one person with Yandi: "The Li Shan Clan is also Yandi. The Li Shan Clan, also known as the Yan Emperor, started from the Li Mountain, or the Ye Lie Shan Clan". Since Zheng Xuan thought that the Lishan clan (Shennong clan) and Emperor Yan as a person, its birthplace is naturally in a place. Not long after, the Three Kingdoms Wu Wei Zhao was the first to respond to Zheng said. He wrote a commentary on the words of Zhanqian (展禽) in the Guoyu (国语). Lu language", Zhan avian words, said: "Lieshan clan, Yan Di's name is also. The name of the Yandi clan also originated from Lieshan. The Rites (Records)? Sacrifice Law" to Lieshan for Lishan also." Due to the pre-Qin canon only Shennong's (Lieshan's) birthplace records, did not see the birthplace of Emperor Yan's records, so Zheng Xuan, Wei Zhao will be the birthplace of Emperor Shennong after the unity of Lieshan.

So, Yandi Shennong's birthplace after the unity is "Lie Shan" or "Huayang"? In our opinion, Shennong's and Yandi's in the pre-Qin canon is the successive emergence of the two tribes and their chiefs of the title, so it is not possible to the same place of birth. The reason why Yandi Shennong's unity after the birthplace will appear "Lie Shan" and "Huayang" two say, the former may be due to Shennong's birthplace and stained Yandi, the latter is likely to be due to Yandi's birthplace and stained Shennong, due to the doctrine of the five elements of the Yandi faction in the south, which makes the "Huayang said". The "Huayang said" to take away the paycheck, and make the "Lie Shan said" to add flowers. After combining the two into one, Huayang is related to Shennong by Yandi, and Lie Shan is related to Yandi by Shennong. However, Yandi is located in the south has been finalized, so "Lie Shan said" than "Huayang said" more justified. Moreover, the ancient state of Zeng, the capital of which was laid in Lishan (Lieshan) of Suizhou, and whose male family was surnamed Jiang, were undoubtedly the authentic descendants of Yandi. Therefore, if we must find out the birthplace of Yandi Shennong's unity, the "Lishan theory" is the most justified. Moreover, the relics of Yandi Shennong are most common in the middle reaches of the Han River, which is a tributary of the Yangtze River, and are most concentrated in the Lishan Mountain in Suizhou. Gucheng County is said to have been named after Emperor Shennong's tasting of grains there, and Shennongjia is said to have been named after Emperor Shennong's tasting of herbs there. As for the Li Mountain in Suizhou, there are Shennong Cave, Shennong Residence, Shennong Well, Shennong Society and other relics Hubei Suizhou City Local Records Compilation Committee: Suizhou Zhi? Sheng Sheng", China City Economic and Social Press, 1988 edition. From this, said Lishan is Yandi Shennong hometown is to hold the reason and the words of reason.

Suizhou Tourism
