Second, Zi Ang's body.
Chen Ziang Reading Desk Chen Ziang Reading Desk is located in Jinhua Mountain, 23 kilometers north of Shehong County. It was the place where Chen Ziang, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, studied in his youth. It was formerly called Reading Hall, or Chen Gongxue.
Development history: ① The former site is behind the ancient scenery of Jin Huashan, and now it is around the ancestral temple. In the Tang Dynasty, our envoy in Dongchuan, Xian Shuming, erected a monument to Chen Ziang's merits in front of the library.
(2) After the middle Tang Dynasty, political chaos and frequent wars led to the decline of the school.
(3) When Song Jiayu was in office, Pang ordered the library pavilion to be built at the original site.
(4) In the early Ming Dynasty, the pavilion was destroyed, and Lian Chengwu made a statue in the old infrastructure building, with a Ming Garden Pavilion on its side. When Chenghua came, the county magistrate Guo was stuffy in the pavilion.
⑤ In the early Qing Dynasty, all the above buildings collapsed.
⑥ In the fifty-first year of Kangxi, Tang Linxiang, a magistrate of a county, built a square auditorium on the old site of the school and set up a plaque as an ancient reading desk.
All landowners Daoguang eight to eleven years, the city ordered Qian Bingde and Wang Shu to move the reading desk to Wugang Mountain behind the roof.
⑧ In the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), the study room of the magistrate of a county donated money to persuade people to raise money, demolished the short wall, removed the fine awn, and built three new halls in front of the pavilion, with cloisters on both wings and a portal pavilion outside; There are three fine houses on the right of the pavilion, and three halls will be built behind the pavilion. It is planned to build Yunshan Pavilion, surrounded by verandahs and dazzling walls. Finally, a large building, Ye He Pavilion, was erected, including three boathouses and a small pavilion, which has begun to take shape. Since then, it has remained basically unchanged, with a slight increase.
Destroyed in the Cultural Revolution.
On May 25th, 2006, Chen Ziang Reading Desk, as an ancient building in Qing Dynasty, was approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
Chen Ziang's Tomb Chen Ziang's Tomb is located at the east foot of Longbaoshan, Longbao Township, Shehong County, Sichuan Province. Longbaoshan was named Longshan in the Tang Dynasty. Chen Ziang's tomb faces Zishui, next to Fujiang River, surrounded by green hills, mountains and rivers, and flowing water on the ground. Xian Shuming, our envoy in Dongchuan in the Tang Dynasty, once set up a monument to respect morality in front of the tomb. Later, due to the indelible handwriting, Guo Yan said that she would rebuild this monument during the Song Kaibao period. During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, Tang Guo and Yang Cheng successively wrote poems in front of the tomb. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, there was a shrine beside the tomb. In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Li Ruijian, a magistrate of a county, was surrounded by fifty-eight ancient cypresses, which were still green. During the Cultural Revolution, the ancient tomb was destroyed, and 1999 restored the cemetery. The present site was later restored to its original appearance through masonry works.
Third, related events
( 1)
Chen Ziang's poems are magnificent, profound and vigorous, and Chen Boyu's poems have been handed down from generation to generation. When Chen Ziang was a teenager, his family was rich and generous to Ren Xia. As an adult, I began to study hard, read widely and be good at writing. At the same time, he cares about state affairs and demands political achievements. 24 years old, a scholar, promoted to the right, dare to speak. When Wu Zetian was in power, she was clean and cruel, killing innocent people. He is not afraid of persecution and has written many times to advise him. Wu Zetian plans to dig Shu Mountain and attack Qiang people through Yazhou Road. He also wrote against it and advocated sharing interest with the people. His remarks are relatively straightforward, often not adopted, and he was once jailed because of the involvement of "anti-Party" in framing Wu Zetian. In 686, he went to Juyanhai and Zhangye River in the northwest with the army of Zuobuqiao Zhi Zhi. Long live the first year (696), Li, a Khitan loyal to Sun Wanrong, defected and went to Jian 'an with the army. Joining the army twice made him have a deeper understanding of the frontier situation and the lives of local people. In the first year of the solar calendar (698), my father died shortly after being dismissed. During the mourning period, Wu Sansi, the powerful minister, ordered a public prosecution against Duan Jian in Shehong County. Wrongful death in prison (Shen Yazhi's Book of Zheng Shizhen in Jiujiang). Today, the ancient city wall in Shehong County is called "Zi 'ang City" and the street is named "Apollo Road" to commemorate Chen Ziang. Chen Ziang's poetry creation has made great achievements in the reform of Tang poetry. Lu Zang often said that he "controlled waves. "The world suddenly changed" (preface to Chen Boyu's Collected Works). Liu song kezhuang's "Hou Cun Shi Hua" said: "In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang, Yang, Shen and Song were good at names, but they did not get rid of the wind of Qi Liang, only picked up the wind and advocated elegance and lightness. Sweeping the exquisiteness of six generations, it tends to Huang Chu and Jian' an. " Jin Yuanhao asked, "On Poetry" also said: "Shen Song traversed the field of calligraphy, and Qi and Liang Dynasties did not waste their first romance. On merits and demerits, if you are on an equal footing with Wu Ping, you will jointly cast gold castings. Everyone praised him as a pioneer in the innovation of Tang poetry. However, some of his poems still have some shortcomings, such as boring language and lifeless images.

The death of his father is a great blow to Chen Ziang, however, a bigger blow is yet to come. Duan Jian, the county magistrate of Shehong County, Chen Ziang's hometown, is an insatiable villain. When he heard that the Chen family was rich, he had a bad intention and wanted to extort money. Chen Ziang's family sent 200,000 yuan to the county magistrate, but they still couldn't satisfy Duan Jian's appetite. Duan Jian was not satisfied. Willy-nilly, he sent Chen Ziang to the South Yard.
It is said that Chen Ziang once divined for himself in prison, and divination was very intense. Chen Ziang was surprised and said, "If fate doesn't help me, I will almost die!" Soon, he died in prison at the age of 42.
This is recorded in the Book of the Tang Dynasty, but it is puzzling. Because before his death, Chen Ziang was a court censor who had not been relieved of his post. I don't know where this local official's "courage" came from. He dared to blackmail "national staff", so that Chen Ziang was unjustly killed in prison. This has always been a mystery. Later, some people said that it was because Chen Ziang offended Wu Sansi when he was an official in North Korea that Wu Sansi instructed the local county magistrate to torture Chen Ziang so much. It doesn't seem easy to understand, because if Wu Sansi wants to clean up Chen Ziang, it doesn't need to be so complicated.
In any case, Chen Ziang ended his life in this way.
This determines that the unanimous evaluation of him in the new and old Tang books is "arrogance and no dignity", and the so-called "narrowness" means narrowness and narrowness; The so-called "impatience" means impatience. "Fanaticism" may be more suitable for Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang's life is actually a manic life, from self-hype to flattering Wu Zetian, which is actually a manifestation of Chen Ziang's arrogance. However, there is one thing that Chen Ziang is very proud of, which is contained in the Book of the Tang Dynasty.
One day, a sensational murder happened under the rule of Wu Zetian. The victim is an ancient historian Zhao Shiyuan. He was killed in the post office on a business trip. The murderer was Xu (now Weinan, Shaanxi). At that time, Xu was a service worker at the station. It is obvious that the killing of senior officials by unruly people is explosive, and the attention of the whole empire has been attracted.
Why did this little waiter kill a court official? The standard answer is to avenge my father. It turns out that Zhao Shizhen is a county commandant. As we know, county commandant was an official of county magistrate in ancient times, specializing in local public security work. Xu's father was punished by Zhao Shizhen for committing a crime. Soon, Zhao Shizhen was promoted to an official in Beijing. In order to avenge his father, Xu went to a post office and became a waiter. Because he knows that this is the only way he can get close to Zhao Shizhen. Finally, one day, Zhao Shiyuan came to Xu's post office on business, and Xu seized the opportunity to kill Zhao Shiyuan cleanly and avenged his father's death.
Whether Xu was a dutiful son or a murderer caused a heated debate at that time. At that time, the popular view was that Xu should be commended, or at least acquitted, because Xu embarked on the road of killing to avenge his father. Therefore, although Xu killed someone, his motive was noble and his starting point was good. Under the background of emphasizing the rule of virtue, the court should pardon Xu's crimes.
Just as it was about to end with such a result, Chen Ziang pushed his way through the crowd and wrote an article about revenge. He said in the article: "Today's Righteousness Festival, Yuan will abolish the national punishment, which is a political difficulty; Then Yuan Qing's sin cannot be abolished. who is it? Every man must have a son, and every son must have a relative. Who can save the chaos? Therefore, when a saint leaves, he must find out the ending, which is not a one-off event, so it is all politics. Therefore, it is said that' if you believe in the righteousness of others, your own politics will not work'. The husband harms public law with private justice, and the benevolent does not; There is no way to be selfish with public law. Yuan Qing was kind and noble because he was just at that time, because he could forget himself and repay kindness with kindness. If we release Yuan Qing's crimes today to benefit his life, we will lose his virtue and justice. It's not so-called death, it's a festival of all death and no life. As I have seen, it is said that it is appropriate to be the law of the country, punish it, and then welcome its tomb and respect its emblem, and the world can be straight. " Obviously, Xu's murder case has come to the bottom. According to the Tang law, there is no doubt that death penalty should be imposed. Only death penalty can reflect the seriousness of the law. However, from another perspective, Xu did this to avenge his father. It was filial piety to his father that led him to commit crimes. He hid the revenge of killing his father in his heart and vowed not to be an enemy. His filial piety is earth-shattering, enough to change the color of the sun and the moon. Therefore, it is suggested that a grand commendation meeting be held for Xu after he is executed to show filial piety. Chen Ziang's proposal skillfully solved the conflict between "ceremony" and "law" and was unanimously recognized by everyone. Finally, the Xu Yuan celebration case was settled according to Chen Ziang's suggestion.
Chen Ziang is bound to be happy that things have been settled so satisfactorily. He naturally demanded that it was necessary to make My Revenge a law and make it a permanent national code. Chen Ziang's demands were finally met. However, decades later, Chen Ziang's revenge was caught by Liu Zongyuan. Liu Zongyuan thinks that Chen Ziang's logic is chaotic and his mind is unclear. Liu Zongyuan said at the beginning: There is no doubt that Chen Ziang's suggestion is completely wrong. So, why? Liu Zongyuan said in detail that the key to Xu's case lies in whether Xu's father is really guilty. If Xu's father is guilty, then being punished by the county commandant is culpable of punishment, but Xu insists on revenge for his father. Murder of court officials is a heinous crime, and killing him is the proper meaning in the title; On the other hand, if Xu's father died innocently, Zhao Shiyuan was suspected of ignoring human life. It is not surprising that such a bad official was killed by Xu. Xu's behavior is objectively killing himself. Xu will not only be killed, but also be commended; Xu is either guilty or not guilty, which can only be one of them. A person can never be as guilty and innocent as Chen Ziang analyzed. Liu Zongyuan concluded that Chen Ziang's analysis seems watertight, but in fact it is schizophrenia, and its essence is the diversification of core values. Chen Ziang's suggestion can only disturb people's minds and make people feel at a loss. In this way, Chen Ziang's only brilliant record was deconstructed by Liu Zongyuan, who specially wrote an article refuting revenge and included it as a conclusion in the Tang law documents.
Four. Anecdotal anecdote: Apollo destroyed the piano.
One year, Chen Ziang left his hometown and came to Chang 'an, the capital of China. Despite his brilliant mind and talent, no one appreciates him. On this day, Chen Ziang was wandering in the street when he suddenly saw an old man shouting in the street, "Good bronze harp, come and buy it from your bosom friend!" Chen Ziang went over and found that the piano was really good. He said to the old man, "Old man, I want to buy this piano. Why not make an offer? " The old man looked at Chen Ziang and said, "Do you really want to buy this piano? I think Mr. Wang's behavior is good and he must be an extraordinary person. To tell you the truth, others can't buy anything below 3000 yuan. If Mr. Wang buys it, it will cost 2000 yuan. As long as this piano finds a true confidant and can make the best use of it, will the old man feel at ease? " In fact, 2000 yuan for a piano was sky-high at that time, but Chen Ziang bought it without hesitation. The onlookers saw that the scholar spent so much money on the piano, and they all thought that this "piano" and this "person" were extraordinary! Chen Ziang looked at the crowd and said, "I know a little about Chen Ziang's piano. I will play for you in my apartment tomorrow. Please come? "
The story spread quickly, and many people came to listen to the piano the next morning, including many literati and celebrities from all walks of life.
Chen Ziang came out holding the piano and waved to the audience. "Thank you for your support, but my playing the piano in Chen Ziang is fake, and piano wrestling is real!" "The words sound just fell and Chen Ziang held the piano high in public, fell to the ground with a bang, and suddenly the strings broke, making everyone stunned! Chen Ziang's clear voice said with a smile: "I, Chen Ziang, studied hard since I was a child, and I am familiar with classics and history. I have done my best in poetry, lyrics and short sentences, but I have been given a cold shoulder everywhere. Today I let you read my poem on the grounds that I broke the piano. Is this my real purpose? " Chen Ziang said, "Take out a big stack of poems from the box and distribute them to all the people present. After reading Chen Ziang's poems, some celebrities present were filled with emotion. This poem and article are really exquisite!
As a result, Chen Ziang's name and his brilliant poems spread all over Beijing! Since then, an endless stream of tourists have come to Chen Ziang's residence every day. Later, the title of Chen Ziang's poems spread to the imperial court, and finally the talented poet was reused.
