Shanxi celebrities

The long and glorious history and beautiful and rich mountains and rivers have created many outstanding talents for Shanxi, special talents in Shanxi's special geographical environment, and at the same time influenced the fate of Shanxi and even the whole country. In the history of China civilization, all kinds of outstanding figures have emerged on the land of Shanxi, if the stars are bright.

Legendary people or gods often listen to people's wonderful stories about The goddess patching the sky, Dayu's flood control, Jingwei's reclamation, Yugong Yishan, Shennong Yandi, Xuanyuan Huangdi, Fuxi, descendants, Lei Zu, known as the "silkworm ancestor", Lv Dongbin, Zhang Guolao, one of the Eight Immortals, all happened in Shanxi.

Among them, Nu Wa's refining stones and mending the sky took place on the Fushan Mountain in shuidong village, Zhongcun Township, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. People regarded Nu Wa as the great mother of the Chinese nation and Fuxi as the first ancestor of the Chinese nation. There are "Shennongling" and "Baigushan" at the junction of two counties in Gaoping and Changzhi, Shanxi Province, and the Taihang Mountain in Yugong Yishan is located in Shanxi. Speaking of Lv Dongbin, the first thing that comes to your mind is "Gou Kun Lv Dongbin doesn't know how to be good at people's hearts". This stems from an interesting story. In Lv Dongbin, there was a fellow friend whose surname was Gou Ming Kun. Her parents died, and Lv Dongbin's family was very good. So they called him to his home and asked him to concentrate on his studies, so that he could get an official position in the future. A guest learned about Gou Kun's family background and saw that he was elegant and well-spoken And Gou Gao has long admired this girl's Face, so he let Lv Dongbin as a matchmaker. When Lv Dongbin told Gou Gao about this matter, he was very happy. This is a condition that Lv Dongbin put forward for Gou Gao. "My good brother will marry and I will live with the bride for three days first." If I don't promise, I will be afraid of not marrying a beautiful wife. So that I can scold myself for incompetence and resent Lv Dongbin for being wicked.

On the wedding day, Lv Dongbin arranged everything well and went into the bridal chamber in a big way. If he could only hide in the side and sigh, the bride sat on the bed with red sand on her head. The first class heard nothing, the second class didn't make any noise, and the third class room was the same as no one. When the bride lifted the sand several times and peeped, all she saw was the groom sitting with his back to read. For three nights in a row, I don't know why. It's better to leave me early! " After listening to it, it suddenly dawned on me that Lv Dongbin was so diligent, and I was wrong about my brother. At that time, I told the bride the cause and effect of the incident. The two of them thanked Lv Dongbin for trying to study hard and make progress. Later, I worked hard to study. After a few years, I finally made a success and went to a foreign country to become an official.

A few years have passed, and natural and man-made disasters have made Lv Dongbin, who has always been rich, hard up. He said to his wife, "I'm looking for Gou Kun, and I'll be back in a few days. Gou Kun will never be ungrateful."

When Lv Dongbin found Gou Kun, Gou Kun was very surprised. Seeing Lv Dongbin's thin and poor appearance, he almost dared not recognize him. Gou Kun entertained Lv Dongbin every day. After a month passed, he didn't mention helping. Lv Dongbin saw that he was an ungrateful villain, so he left without saying goodbye and went home by himself.

When Lv Dongbin returned home, he didn't see the house. He asked people about it. Others avoided him just like seeing a ghost, which puzzled his second monk. When he found out that his family had built a new house, he entered the house, only to find that his wife was crying with a coffin. Lu called for his wife, who was in a daze for a long time before saying, "It's really you, it scared me to death." It turned out that the coffin was carried the day before. Someone said that Lv Dongbin died of illness in Gou Gou, and said that when he was seriously ill, he couldn't come back there for a while. It was Lu who asked them to build a new house. After listening to this, Dong Bin fell into the fog of Wuli even more. When he opened the coffin, he saw the dazzling gold and silver jewelry. There was a note on it saying, "Give me silver and build a house. If you are seriously ill, you can't come back. You call me." After reading it, Lu smiled bitterly and hit this "Lv Dongbin, it doesn't make people happy." It got around.

among the emperors in China, there are countless emperors in Shanxi, such as: Tang Shuyu was from Taiyuan, Shanxi; Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, was from Quwo, Shanxi; Liu Yuan in the Han Dynasty was from Xinzhou; Shile in the later Zhao Dynasty was from Yushe; Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wen Chengdi, Gao Huan in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Shi Jingtang in the later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan in the later Han Dynasty, Liu Chong in the later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxu in the later Tang Dynasty, and a generation of queens. Today's Wenshui South Xu Cun entered the palace at the age of 14, far away from her mother, and came to a strange world without any strength to rely on. After entering the palace, she became a talented person and was given the title "Mei Niang". Once, Emperor Taizong asked: "There is a fierce horse, who can tame it?" Wu Zetian came out and said seriously, "Just give me three things. If the whip doesn't work, hammer it, and if the hammer doesn't work, give me a knife." These words came from Wu Zetian's mouth at an early age. hit the floor, who was a talented person of Taizong for 11 years, was not promoted. Before his death, Emperor Taizong arranged for her to be a nun in Ganye Temple. As early as being a harem of Taizong, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi secretly interacted. She had already entrusted herself to the prince who was four years younger than herself. On the second anniversary of Taizong's death, Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to make pilgrimages and met his missing Mei Niang in the meditation room. The Emperor advised her to wait patiently and arrange for her to re-enter the palace. For Wu Zetian, this opportunity is very important, because with the talent life in 2111, she failed to succeed in 2113, and she had to change her situation.

Wu Zetian entered the palace for the second time, which won the favor of Emperor Gaozong. She gave birth to a prince and a princess for Emperor Gaozong. In addition, she was good at winning people's hearts and her status was constantly improving. However, Wu Zetian's goal was to be the queen's throne. Wu Zetian's second child was a daughter, which was very likable. The queen couldn't help but go and have a look. After knowing that the emperor was coming, Wu Zetian took advantage of the opportunity to strangle her own daughter. After a while, the emperor came, and Wu Zetian was still laughing, but when she opened it, the child was dead. She couldn't help crying. The emperor asked about the situation and left and right maids to say, "Huang was the queen of China just now". Emperor Gaozong asserted without thinking that "the queen killed my daughter", so she abolished the queen and made Wu Zetian the queen.

Wu Zetian ascended the throne of the queen in this way, which seems cruel, but for the sudden change of court life, it was either fish or invasion in the storm of political struggle. It happened that the Emperor was in poor health and often suffered from dizziness and headache, so Wu Zetian was allowed to sit in the curtain and give advice to the Emperor at any time. Wu Zetian's power was equal to that of the Emperor, and he was called the "second saint" at that time. Later, Gao always felt that the emperor had no taste, and then he simply refused to go to court under the pretext of having a headache. She handed over all the political affairs to Wu Zetian. She accepted Tang Gaozong's entrustment and formulated a strategy to pacify the frontier, and the imperial army SHEN WOO was powerful.

For China's feudal culture, women are just the ornament and foil of male society, and women's politics is even more difficult for traditional culture. It is in this cultural background that Wu Zetian achieved the breakthrough of "Empress of China".

Two months after Tang Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian sent someone to kill Prince Li Xian, abolish Zhongzong, and made his fourth son Li Dan emperor, but he lived in a different hall and was not allowed to participate in political affairs, and put down the Yangzhou rebellion. Wu Zetian is, after all, a mature politician. On the Double Ninth Festival in 691 AD, the 67-year-old Virgin Jade Emperor Wu Zetian; Officially ascended the throne, and established the Zhou Dynasty. She reached the peak of power from the talented woman of Mei Niang, Empress Zhao Yi, Queen Mother Jade Emperor, to the emperor.

following the cycle of China's history, how many emperors stepped on the land of Shanxi and ascended the throne of Xi' an, Luoyang and Beijing? Shanxi, the world's "No.1 military place", became the competition field for the rise and fall of imperial dynasties. With the periodic regime change in China, the northern nomads went south, while Shanxi was at the border between the ancient Central Plains country and the northern nomads, with frequent wars and continuous fires. It is also doomed that Shanxi military commanders are brave, famous soldiers come forth in large numbers, influenced by the loess culture, tempered by the northern wind of Shuobei, and influenced by martial folk customs, which have created Shanxi military commanders' loyalty, righteousness and wisdom, such as Yu Rang, one of the eleven assassins, Lian Po, the general of Zhao State, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in Han Dynasty, Wang Jian, Huo Guang, Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms Period, and Ye Lvguang and Xin Jiang of Weichi Gong State of Jin in Li Mu, Zhang Liao, Sui and Tang Dynasties. At the same time, prime ministers Di Renjie, Lin Xiangru, Tang Peidu Xu Jishe, Chen Tingjing, Jiezitui and Yu Chenglong Yang Shenxiu also appeared.

Wei Qing, the first general in the Han Dynasty, was born in Pingyang, Hedong. When she was a teenager, she used to shepherd sheep. When she grew up, she became a slave of Princess Pingyang, the eldest sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Someone told him that he had a good fortune and that he would be blessed in the future. Later, he was crowned Hou because of Wei Qing's brilliant record. However, it is better to say that Wei Qing dared to fight hard. She fought in Xiongnu seven times in her life, and Wei Qing's real name was Zheng, so she followed. Wei Zifu soon entered the palace, was deeply loved by the emperor, and was later named queen.

Because Wei Zifu was a queen, Wei Qing entered the palace and became an assistant. Originally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just wanted to please a queen, but unexpectedly, he recruited a general with indomitable spirit for the Han Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was implementing its great strategy of fighting back against the Huns. The appearance of Wei Qing accelerated the implementation of this great strategy. Wei Qing was successively ordered to go to war and won a great victory. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, he has never been so proud. Wei Qing returned to the DPRK in triumph, and all the officials and officials went to the horse to meet him. In recognition of Wei Qing's contribution, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sealed his five sons, but politely decline said, "Palace is the work of soldiers and should be sealed."

Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers. In 123 BC, Huo Qubing, who was only 18 years old, went to Xiongnu with her uncle Wei Qing. Huo Qubing was full of blood. Just turning 21, she led 11,111 cavalry out of Longxi, entered Alakazam for five years, and crossed the Yan Mountain and went straight under Qilian Mountain. Later, Wei Qing became the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the servant of the master became the husband of the master. Since the Han Dynasty in Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, he no longer had to be forced to send his own flesh and blood to the desert to please the Huns. Today, whenever we are very proud to talk about the Han nationality, have you ever thought that our pride began in Huo Qubing, Wei Qing?

Guan Yu, the first general in the ages, was "resting his head in Luoyang, lying in Dangyang, Hubei Province, and his soul returned to Shanxi," an eternal star in Hedong, who was eager for public interests and devoted himself to justice when he was young. As a result, "Taoyuan Sanjieyi" worked with Liu Bei and Zhang Feijie. Guan Yu was only named as the pavilion of Hanshou before his death, and was only given a township-level treatment, but after his death. The official worships him. As long as Guan Gong nods, your official career will be prosperous and successful, and the immortal will grow bigger and bigger. Merchants will worship him, and Guan Gong will not take ill-gotten gains, and he will be extremely powerful. Not only can he cut off the unjust, but he will ensure peace and wealth, and the samurai will worship him, because Guan Gong is "the first brave man in China" and "the world with great prestige", which is not only a model for military personnel, but also enables you. Moreover, he is generous and kind, and he is worthy of burying a genius, so as to ensure that you can get official wealth. The farmer worships him, because Guan Gong is a god and a dragon in the sky, and he can spread clouds and rain, and he has human experience, knows everything about the farmer, understands the farmer's sufferings, and is spiritual when he asks. Nowadays, interpersonal relationships are becoming more and more complicated, and unpredictable factors are increasing. Modern people are deeply afraid and anxious about this, and they urgently need to find a stable force to comfort their unstable state of mind. Guan Yu is a comprehensive symbol of current folk beliefs, which can meet the needs of modern society. Before the court session in Thailand, all the staff should stand up and swear to Guan Yu to show their loyalty, and then the relevant procedures can be started. According to the American news media, Nancy Reagan campaigned for her husband and made a special trip to San Francisco to beg for the spirit of Guan Gong, asking his divine power to bless her husband's success in the election. In Taiwan Province, which has a population of 21.4 million, there are 8 million Guan Gong followers and more than 3,111 Guan Di temples, and the real Guan Di Temple is the largest Guan Di temple in Xiezhou, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, which is known as the crown of Wu temples.

how does Weichi Gong, the patron saint of China people, become a door god? According to legend, because Li Shimin killed many people in the process of competing for Jiangshan, after he became emperor, he often saw evil spirits fighting in his dreams, and he often cried out in shock, so he was very afraid of it. On one occasion, he told the ministers about it. Weichi Gong and Qin Qiong guarded the palace gate at night in a ring suit. Oddly enough, since they also guarded the palace gate, Emperor Taizong really stopped having nightmares, but who can guarantee that they won't have nightmares in the future? Emperor Taizong ordered painters to draw portraits of the two men and hang them on both sides of the palace gate. The portraits were glaring and imposing, and since then, evil worship has disappeared. Emperor Taizong slept peacefully every night, and the two men have since become door gods.

In fact, among the thousands of military commanders produced in China in the past two thousand years, the reason why the people regard them as their patrons is their own interests. The so-called door gods are mainly responsible for exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, ensuring the safety of the whole gate, and they have high demands on him. They should not only have the merits of being a door, but also be frank, upright and loyal. Not fascinated by wealth and color, beyond the reach of general military commanders, so they deserve it.

The generals have always been loyal, brave, firm, fierce, and both. As for a strange son, Xue Rengui, a famous Tang Dynasty soldier, was the first, and Xue Rengui led an army to Yunzhou, and reported his name to the enemy. The enemy warship immediately dismounted Xue Rengui to worship, and then ordered the withdrawal, which actually scared off 211,111 Turkic troops. If it was not truthfully recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, people would still think that.

When it comes to Yang Jiajiang, people first mention Yang Ye. When the enemy soldiers saw the "Yang" banner, they were frightened and often retired without fighting. At that time, even the three-year-old urchin in the village of Shanye was familiar with Yang Ye's fighting deeds, and the Qidan army never dared to invade during the eight years of defending Yanmenguan. Today, on the Drum Tower in Daixian County, there is a huge plaque with the title "Three passes of sublime earthquake" on the front and "Four famous stories" on the back, which is a precious relic handed down to this day to commemorate Yang Ye's meritorious service.

Di Renjie, a minister of the Tang Dynasty, was a small official when he was young, and later he was promoted to the highest judge of the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty. He was an official, and bravely saved more than 2,111 people who were going to be executed when he was making a secretariat in Runan, Henan Province. These people were later exiled to the border areas. Di Renjie made a secretariat in Ningzhou, and was acclaimed by people, and he was given a "monument of virtue and politics". When those exiles passed by Ningzhou, the people of Ningzhou came out to express their condolences and took them to the monument of Dezheng for three days. They didn't know each other, but they were linked by Di Renjie's good governance. In the second year of Empress Wu Zetian's reign, Di Renjie was appointed as the prime minister. In 698, when the Turks invaded this central Hebei province, Wu Zetian immediately sent 451,111 troops, ordered the prince to hang the title of Marshal, and Di Renjie was the deputy commander. The invading army, who was actually responsible, heard that an army was dispatched. With Di Renjie as the commander in chief, he fled north without confrontation. In his later years, Wu Zetian trusted Di Renjie the most. At the palace banquet, Wu Zetian personally raised a glass to Ren Jie. When he met in the main hall, Wu Zetian always told Ren Jie not to bow down. He was old and ill, and he returned home many times without approval in 711 AD.
