Chapter 658

"It was not until 1959 that our Longguo rebuilt the Qingyun Palace on a large scale, opened a hot spring pool, repaired the palace, built a hotel, and opened a garden, which made the ancient Qingyun Palace rejuvenated and became a place of entertainment for the people of Longguo."

Xia Liang explained the history of Qingyun Palace to Tina while driving the car towards Qingyun Palace.

Tina was surprised to hear that Longguo was indeed one of the four ancient countries in the world. Just one palace had such a long history.

Looking at the surprised Tina, Xia Liang smiled. Longguo's cultural heritage was not bad, not to mention that it was in Qingyun City, which was rated as one of the four ancient capitals of the world together with Cairo, Athens, and Rome.

In the early 1920s, Longguo only had four ancient capitals, namely Qingyun, Jinling, Luoyang and Shangjing.

By the 1930s, it became seven ancient capitals, adding Kaifeng, Hangzhou and Anyang.

Until 2004, Zhengzhou was added, and the sequence of ancient capitals became eight ancient capitals.

But the most famous are still the four ancient capitals at the beginning, and no matter how many ancient capitals are added, Qingyun has always been at the top of the ancient capitals of Dragon Country.

In history, thirteen dynasties have built their capitals here for more than a thousand years, especially the powerful Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, which made the cultural atmosphere of Qingyun very rich.

And what is more interesting is that whenever something is built in Qingyun, something can always be dug up.

No matter what the project is, the archaeological team has been prepared before it starts.

There are two things in contemporary Qingyun, many colleges and many ancient tombs, so when the colleges and universities in Qingyun build new campuses, they are embarrassed to say that they are Qingyun schools if they don’t dig out an ancient tomb.

There is a saying circulating in the colleges and universities in Qingyun: Going to school is like going to a tomb, and everyone is a disciple of the ancient tomb school.

In various colleges and universities, from high officials to common people, ancient tombs of all dynasties have been basically dug up, and a general history of Dragon Country can be rewritten.

Xia Liang saw a news report before, saying that Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College in Yanjing had discovered nearly a hundred ancient tombs. Before he had time to be happy, he received a message from Qingyun University: That's it?

...

While chatting with Tina, the two finally arrived at the foot of Mount Li.

Although it was not the weekend today, when the two got off the car, they saw the scene of a sea of ​​people again.

"So many people?"

Tina swallowed her saliva. Although she had seen the lively scene of Dragon Country last night, she was still shocked now.

Before, he only thought that Dragon Country would be lively only at night, but he didn't expect that it would be the same during the day, even more lively than at night.

"Ms. Tina, let's go in."

Xia Liang said with a smile.

Tina nodded blankly, even forgetting to take pictures, and followed Xia Liang inside.

"Ms. Tina, Qingyun Palace is divided into the palace area, the area outside the palace and between the walls, and the area outside the walls and inside the Lishan Palace."

"The palace area is divided into the palace gate, the east area, the middle area and the west area. We are now at the palace gate."

"There are four palace gates, the Jinyang Gate in the north, the Kaiyang Gate in the east, the Zhaoyang Gate in the south, and the Wangjing Gate in the west."

"The Wangjing Gate faces Qingyun, and there are watermelon gardens, flower viewing platforms, hibiscus gardens, and pink plum altars outside the gates, all of which are royal gardens in the palace."

"..."

As the two walked inside, Xia Liang also introduced the surroundings to Tina, and Tina looked around curiously, taking pictures with her mobile phone from time to time.

While walking and stopping, the two soon came to the east area of ​​the palace, and the first thing they saw was the Pear Garden.

The Pear Garden was where Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei taught the Pear Garden disciples in Qingyun Palace.

According to the records of the Old Book of Tang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang selected 300 children of the sitting department and taught them in the Liyuan. Now, later generations call actors Liyuan disciples, and the origin is here.

In addition to the Liyuan, there is also Yaoguang Tower, which is also the north gate of Feishuang Hall, the main building in the East District. Feishuang Hall is the bedroom of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei.

It is said that the name of Feishuang Hall comes from the fact that every winter, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang brought Yang Guifei to Qingyun Pool to bathe in the hot spring. When the snow was flying all over the sky, the snowflakes were melted by the steam of the hot spring before they fell to the ground, and the snow turned into frost.

In front of Feishuang Hall, Tina took Xia Liang to take a few photos, and then walked to the south of Feishuang Hall, just in time to the Yutang Jiulong Hall.

This is also the largest bathing place in Qingyun Palace. It is said that this place was once built with white stones, as clear as jade. There are patterns of fish, dragons, flowers and birds on the stone steps. There are two white stone lotuses below. The spring comes out from the bottom and falls on the white lotus, so it is also called Lotus Soup.

This made Xia Liang feel a little emotional. These emperors in ancient times still knew how to have fun. He didn't believe that there were only Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei in such a big bathhouse. I'm afraid the scene at that time was very explosive!

But unfortunately, Jiulongtang was almost completely destroyed at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The Jiulongtang in front of him was just a beautiful artificial lake.

There were nine stone dragons lined up on the bank of the lake, and clear springs gushed out of the dragon's mouth. This was built later to match the name of Jiulongtang.

"Mr. Xia Liang, what is that in front? There are so many stone tablets."

The two walked for a while, and Tina suddenly pointed to the front and asked.

"Ms. Tina, this is the Huaqing Palace's Beihai Shulin, which is also one of the famous attractions of Huaqing Palace."

Xia Liang smiled and took the other party to the direction of the Shulin.

"Currently, there are seven historical monuments in Huaqing Palace, sixteen poetry stones, seven stone carvings, and four pairs of stone carvings."

"After that, our Dragon Kingdom published more than 69 stone steles and Jieshi stones. The more famous ones should be the "Stele of Ode to Hot Springs of the Northern Wei Dynasty" and the "Stele of Hot Spring Inscriptions."

"The "Hot Spring Inscription Stele" was written and made by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty in 647 AD. It was erected in the Yushu Pavilion on the left side of the south gate of Tangquan Palace."

"However, the original stele has disappeared. A few years ago, Huaqing Pond made a copy based on the rubbings of the original stele. It is now placed in the Yutang Site Museum over there. This stone stele can be regarded as the first of its kind to have cursive script included on the stele."

"The Stele Ode to Hot Springs in the Northern Wei Dynasty was written and written by Yuan Chang, the governor of Yongzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was known as the Glass Stele in the Tang Dynasty. The stele was headed by Li. There were 588 words on it. This was also the earliest physical material of the Huaqing Palace. In the 1980s, At that time, it was listed as a nationally banned monument by our Dragon Kingdom.

At this time, there were also many tourists in Beihai Shulin, but most of them were older.

Ordinary tourists come to Beihai Shulin to see something strange. Only some calligraphy and history lovers will stop for a long time and feel the charm between the lines on the stone monument.
