- "The tone of this article is generous and tragic, with endless meaning and soul-stirring feeling. It not only has a sense of indifference and tranquility, but also reflects the lofty artistic conception and profound philosophy of life."
"In just a few strokes, we reveal the rapid flow of history and the eternal value embedded in it. We find the profound philosophy of life between success and failure, the sense of the rise and fall of history, and the ups and downs of life."
"The noble sentiments and broad-minded mind have the feeling of Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, who said, "The boundless falling trees are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in." It also has the artistic conception of Su Shi in the Song Dynasty, "The great river goes eastward, and the waves are gone, and the romantic figures of the ages are gone."
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wang Shouren carefully recalled the words Liu Yuan read out. After recalling them, he couldn't help but praise them greatly, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Jin with admiration again.
Although I have always admired Liu Jin, Liu Jin's ability in governing the country is obvious to all. At the same time, Liu Jin's noble sentiments in vigorously developing education also made Wang Shouren admire him very much.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect Liu Jin to be able to write such soul-stirring poems, which is really admirable.
¡°Cough cough, cough cough~¡±
"Excellent award, outstanding award!"
Liu Jin¡¯s old face turned red. He hoped that Yang Shen would not ask for copyright fees from him in the future.
Soon, "Linjiang Immortal" written by Liu Jin spread rapidly. In this place south of the Yangtze River, there are many scholars who like to play poems, songs and the like since ancient times.
????????? Talented scholars are also highly sought after.
Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming and other Wuzhong talents have always been sought after because of their talents, even though they failed repeatedly in the examinations. Their calligraphy and paintings were very valuable even in this period.
Liu Jin¡¯s Ming Dynasty has long been spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and he has many auras such as the number one scholar, cabinet ministers, and disciples of high-ranking officials.
"As soon as this poem came out, it immediately amazed all the scholars in Jiangnan. Many talented people who were depressed felt the same way, and they immediately felt as if they had met a close friend.
Suddenly, a large number of talented people rushed to Jinling all night long, hoping to compete with Liu Jin's style.
It¡¯s just that Liu Jin is a busy man and has no time to pay attention to them.
A few days later, on the bank of the Yangtze River, accompanied by the roar of gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers, thousands of people gathered on the riverside. At the same time, a sacrificial platform was built on the riverside to worship the Dragon King and the River God in the Yangtze River.
People in this period were still very superstitious about this, and there would often be celebrations and sacrificial activities when important projects were started.
Of course, this tradition has actually continued to later generations. Those who worked on projects in later generations know that when building bridges, digging tunnels, etc., they often kill pigs and sheep to sacrifice and pray for everything to go well.
During the Ming Dynasty, everyone took this more seriously, and there were many taboo things.
The dates for the start of construction are carefully selected, and the hours are extremely strict. Even the tributes offered to the Dragon King and the River God are very particular.
There are three cows, six pigs, nine sheep, and even more chickens, ducks, fish, wine, etc. It always has the same meaning, to express enough respect for the Dragon King and the River God.
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
"Please give a memorial service to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All officials of all sizes on the Nanjing side were present. When we looked over, there was a sea of ??red. There were six departments on the Nanjing side, and they were all very high-level.
Zhu Houzhao was wearing a prince's uniform, a bright yellow python robe, and a gold silk crown. He looked extremely serious at this moment. He stepped onto the altar step by step with a sacrificial inscription in his hand, and then began to recite loudly.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Houzhao, reported to Heaven that today we, the Ming Dynasty, will open a precedent for the exchanges between the north and south of the Yangtze River and build a foundation for eternity I would like to ask God to bless everything smoothly, and ask the gods of the rivers to facilitate it "
The content is very simple. It is to tell God that in order to facilitate transportation between the north and south of the Yangtze River, the Ming Dynasty is going to build a bridge on the Yangtze River. I hope God can have everything go well. At the same time, I beg the Dragon King and River God in the Yangtze River to provide convenience. , don¡¯t blame or anything like that.
In fact, the ancients believed in this thing. The emperor is a minister in front of God. He must be respectful and reverent. If he does anything important, he must report it to God first and pray for permission and blessing.
This time z.com Zhang Si. We also respect the gods in the Yangtze River and ask them to use the convenience door. Don't blame or make trouble. Let the bridge be built smoothly. There will be sacrifices and offerings every year.
强牺 pddxsw.com 读牺。 "Hmm~"
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally comes to report to heaven and ask the river gods for convenience, this bridge will definitely be completed smoothly."
"Yes, yes~ His Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor. He is the one who protects and shepherds the people of the world on behalf of heaven. He is the son of God."
"If he comes to offer sacrifices, everything will go smoothly."
"Of course, even if you are the Dragon King and the River God in the river, you must be obedient."
As Zhu Houzhao read out the memorial text, and then solemnly threw the memorial text into the cauldron and burned it, Liu Jin could also hear the people around him nodding.
In ancient times, we believed in this too much.
Let alone building a bridge over the Yangtze River, even if you are building a building in the Beijing-Tianjin area, you must choose an auspicious day and time to start the construction. Before starting the construction, you must also kill pigs and sheep for sacrifice.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. This is the first time in history to build a bridge over the Yangtze River, and it is very normal and necessary to hold such a grand sacrifice and groundbreaking ceremony.
Even now that the prince personally came to report to heaven and borrow convenience from the gods in the Yangtze River, everyone became more confident and felt that the bridge would be built smoothly.
What kind of sacrifice is more useful than the prince¡¯s sacrifice?
If an ordinary person were to offer sacrifices and preside over the opening ceremony, everyone might not feel at ease yet. If they feel that the weight is not enough, the Dragon King and the River God may not give you face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading, there will be more exciting things to come!
"If the prince hadn't come, Liu Jin would have to go up.
Liu Jin is the number one scholar and a literary star in the sky. If he comes, it will work.
But the prince¡¯s arrival is naturally the best, and everyone¡¯s confidence has increased a lot.
"Sacrifice!"
Soon, the sacrificial inscriptions were burned, and an order was given.
Three cows, six pigs, nine sheep and a large number of sacrifices and tributes were also thrown into the river one after another.
Looking at this scene, Liu Jin was speechless and couldn't say anything. This is tradition. Although it is a bit superstitious, you still have to respect it. Moreover, performing sacrifices can make people feel more at ease, which is also a very cost-effective thing.
The investment in the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is really too big, 40 million taels of silver, which is a huge investment. If it can be completed smoothly, it will naturally be a story for the ages. If there are any questions, the matter will be big.
After the sacrifice was completed, the official construction began.
强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺。 I saw a large number of machinery driven by steam engines starting It started to rotate, accompanied by bursts of whistles, billowing smoke rising into the sky, and the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge officially started!
This time z. co m Zhang Si. "This is the first of its kind in history. We built a bridge across the Yangtze River. From then on, the natural chasm became a thoroughfare, making it much more convenient to travel from north to south."
??Looking at the construction site for sale in front of us, and then at the broad river surface with vast mist, we finally understand why we need to offer sacrifices.
The ancients had great respect for heaven and earth. Even if they were emperors, they would still call themselves ministers and have great respect.
This is mainly because I feel the vastness of the world and the insignificance of myself, so I slowly formed this kind of reverence. The Yangtze River in front of me, the largest river in the Ming Dynasty, is long, wide, and mighty.
Building a bridge over such a large river is indeed an eternal feat.
"Let's go, let's go to Suzhou and Yangzhou to inspect the disaster situation, and then go to Songhu. I heard that all the flower boats in Jinling have gone to Songhu."
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to be too interested. He was quite busy these days. He was busy going to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to worship Ming Taizu. For this reason, he had to abstain from sex for a few days, because this way he could be more pious.
There is no way, he has to sacrifice his ancestors, the rules are like this, even if he is the prince, he still has to do it according to the rules, he has been holding it back these past few days.
Now that he has presided over the opening ceremony of the Yangtze River Bridge, he can't wait to fly to Songhu immediately to see what this Jiangnan flower boat looks like.
"Your Highness, it's better not to go to a place with fireworks like that. It's too dirty and there will be various infectious diseases."
When Liu Jin heard this, he was immediately speechless. It¡¯s better not to go to the land of fireworks. In later generations, there was an emperor who got sick from visiting a brothel and died young. Don¡¯t mess around, otherwise how can you explain to Emperor Hongzhi?
