The Imperial Grand View Five Rites Monument in Song Dynasty is the monument of He Jintao, the Chinese envoy to Weber in Tang Dynasty. He Jintao is a native of Lingwu (now northeast of Qingtongxia City, Ningxia). Tang Wenzong Daiwa three years (AD 829), as China's ambassador to Weber, guarding Weizhou (now ten miles northeast of daming county). "Living in Wei for more than ten years, the people live in peace" (2), and was awarded the proofreading task of Si Tuleideng and Tong Zhongshu. In the fifth year (AD 840), He Jintao died in Weizhou. Wenzong felt that he had led Weber town for many years and sent a posthumous gift to Taifu. In the same year, a monument of virtue and politics was built in Weizhou. The inscription was written by Liu Gongquan, a bachelor of Hanlin and assistant minister of the Book Industry Department, and was printed by Shu Dan (3), Hanlin Daizhao and Liang Wang (4) Sima Tang Yuan. Liu Gongquan was a world-famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang's seal script was also quite famous at that time. Therefore, scholars of past dynasties loved me and my family, and attached great importance to He Jintao's monument of virtue and government. Whenever they see the name, they will stop to look. Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once called this monument "an outstanding stone carving".
In the second year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 108), Song Huizong took Ji Li, Li Bin, Li Jia, military ceremony and fierce ceremony as a system of one generation, revised it into "Five Rites and New Instruments", which was circulated to local officials, carved stones and erected monuments, and was awarded to the world for implementation. In Daming Mansion, Beijing, the imperial court Zuo Cheng Liang Zimei listened to Yin Jian's advice, and removed the inscription on the front of He Jintao's Dezheng Monument in Tang Dynasty and changed it to "Five Rites and New Instruments" (⑥), which was called the Five Rites Monument. The monument is made of bluestone, from bottom to top, and consists of four parts: cornerstone, tortoise shell, monument body and tablet forehead. The head of the monument is the round head of the eight dragons playing with beads, and the front of the monument is carved with a dragon, with the bibcock on both sides facing down and the dragon mouth longer. The image is vivid and vivid, quite in the style of Tang Dynasty. The inscription "Five Rites of the Grand View of the Emperor" is well preserved. I don't know if it was the intention or negligence of the Song people. The original list of Liu Gongquan's books still remains on the side engraved with the Five Rites Monument, especially the words "the first month of five years", which are still clearly distinguishable and become conclusive evidence of the Tang Monument. According to the "History of the Old Five Dynasties", during the Five Dynasties Liang Dynasty, Yang, the envoy, brought huge stones from Liyang and carved achievements in Weizhou. No sooner had the tablet arrived in Weizhou than Yang suddenly fell ill and died. After Yang's death, there was a war in Weizhou, and people didn't have time to erect a monument for him with this huge stone. Since then, this stone has been idle for a long time and has never been used again. As a result, many ancient people and people who like calligraphy in history are puzzled by the fact that Liang didn't use ready-made stones to grind it off: did Liang know nothing about it, or did he want to make it convenient for a while? In fact, it took 268 years from Yang picking up the boulder to Liang carving the Tang monument. During this period, Daming often suffered from floods, and the boulder that Yang picked up was very likely to be swallowed up by floods and buried deep underground. Of course, it is impossible for Liang to know about this monument.
In April of the third year of Wenjian in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 140 1 year), the Yellow River burst and flooded into Zhanghe River and Weiwei River, causing floods in Daming area. The rolling river engulfed Daming Fucheng overnight, and the Five Rites Monument fell and was buried underground. In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing (A.D. 1548), Gu Yuzhu, a well-known magistrate, discovered the whereabouts of this monument and excavated it, so that this ancient monument buried underground 147 spring and autumn was rediscovered. However, the monument has been broken into nine pieces and the glans of the monument has disappeared.
More than 400 years have passed.
After the founding of New China, the Party and the government entrusted the local people to properly preserve this broken Millennium monument.
1956165438+10,1966 in April, Premier Li Xiannian and Premier Zhou Enlai visited this monument successively. After two generations of emperors' construction, the ancient tablet preserved the original works of two generations of famous craftsmen. It is an important material for studying the history, politics and calligraphy art of Tang and Song Dynasties.
1982, the Hebei provincial government officially listed this monument as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei province.
During the period of 1986, Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau sent experts and scholars to Daming for field investigation, and decided to move the Wuli Monument to a new site, rubbing, bonding and repairing it, and then set it up for tourists to watch.
1989 In May, daming county cooperated with the provincial cultural relics department to complete the relocation, bonding and erection of this monument, and the re-chiseled glans was bonded to the base. Today, this ancient monument that has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes stands in the Daming Palace Stone Carving Museum. Facing the tourists, it seems to show the eternal past of Daming, which was the civilization and glory of the capital in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It is also like looking forward to the future of Daming, expecting celebrities to take more solid steps in the process of developing and building a central city at the junction of the three provinces, so that ancient names can bloom in the new era.
On May 25th, 2006, it was announced by the State Council as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
