"Jellyfish Palace Autumn Song" in Qing poems

Regarding the origin of the construction of the Jellyfish Palace, the most well-known story of Zhangjiakou people is: Yongfeng Fort is under the West Lying Cloud Mountain, there is a clear spring in the past, which does not dry up all year round. After entering the Qing Dynasty, with the prosperity of Zhangku's trade road, the fur merchants in Zhangjiakou took the spring water to process and tann the fur, so that the leather board was soft and the hair color was shiny, and the sale was profitable. Because of this, Shancheng has gradually developed into the largest fur distribution center in China, known as the "leather capital". Blessed by the spring water, in the forty-seventh year of Qianlong (1782), the upper and lower forts were covered by the line, and they discussed to raise funds together, build the jellyfish palace, and set up the abbot, which was called a grand event. There is an inscription engraved in the 49th year of Qianlong (1784), and the record is very detailed:

That is, it is like going up and down the castle, and the weight depends on it. The skin of the lamb is moistened with a clear spring. Although it is not if the spring eliminates the disease, it smells the dynasty of the Li family, and the body is clean, which is in line with the song of the waves. I have been bathing in the pool, and I have been looking up to the grace for a long time, but I have no reason to stretch myself. Since the forty-seventh year of Qianlong, the jellyfish palace was built in the north of Benquan, and the abbot was re-established. Nai raised much, so he was raised. Upper and lower fort leather line, all those who are well-trained in the pool to wash the skin, each measure their own public capital, a total of more than 90 taels of silver, in order to be the temple incense capital, by extending the meaning of the year of operation. Yunyun. ”

With water springs and temples as the center, after more than 200 years of operation and management, today's jellyfish palace is surrounded by elm and willow, pine and cypress, like a fairyland in the world, natural "oxygen bar". After reading the poems of the Qing people, I learned that more than 100 years ago, the Jellyfish Temple of Yongfeng Fort was also a place for banquets and a place for Chongyang High Meeting. It is especially best in autumn with mountain views, as evidenced by a banquet.

Before speaking, I would like to introduce the protagonist of this banquet: Pu 颋 ( tǐng), a Qing dynasty clan, the character Zhonglu, and Aixinjue Luo. From the first month of the 31st year of Guangxu (1905) to September of the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), he was appointed as the commander of Chahar. Fu Mao, the word Jiezhu, was promoted by the Zhangjiakou Army Academy at that time. It is said that in the late autumn of this year, close to Chongyang, it is the fiftieth birthday of this Fu Mao Tiao, and Pu Ying led everyone to borrow the jellyfish palace to set up a banquet for his birthday. First of all, Pu Ying has a song "Longquan Autumn Song":

Plugging the west wind and August cool, Yongfeng Gao will be close to Chongyang.

The songbirds in the forest spread the fairy music, and the spring under the eaves was divided into longevity.

The walls are full of wonderful sentences, and the peaks and mountains surround Guo Jing's new makeup.

The most amorous is the border city willow, and the green shadow is vaguely yellow.

Fu Mao also relied on rhyme and poetry, and there was "He Pu Zhonglu Dutong Longquan Autumn Poetry with Original Rhyme":

The west wind is steep and the weather is cool, and the ancient temple cups and plates talk about the sunset.

Yuan Rong on the seat prefers guests, and respects the former wanderer.

Who will take the lead in the world chess game, and the old side mountain will have a different makeup.

The willows next to the lone pine road in the Lingji are green and yellow when the frost falls.

Chahar Dutong poems, to rare, this poem to describe the autumn scenery around the Yongfeng Fort Jellyfish Temple, clear time is in the end of the eighth month of the lunar calendar and the beginning of September, near the day of the Double Yang Festival. Birds chirping in the forest, springs in the mountains, and outside the government office, there is a gorgeous and sunny autumn scenery. The guests are full of lyrical brilliance, and the inscriptions are all over the wall, which is a great pleasure for the officials!Looking at the willow trees inside and outside Wucheng, they are still full of green, and they are slightly yellow.

From Fu Mao and the sentence in the poem, "Yuan Rong prefers guests, and respects the former wanderer, we can know that it was Dutong who took the lead in organizing this banquet and reciting poems to celebrate his birthday. Fumao's identity and status can be imagined, but unfortunately his life is not detailed. At the same time, Yongfengbao Jellyfish Temple is indeed a scenic spot in the territory, and it is also a place for officials and people to gather for autumn high meetings and banquets, as evidenced by this group of poems.

Regarding this banquet, as well as the transcription and circulation of the poems inscribed on the temple wall, we also have to thank another envoy: Yanqing. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), Yanqing, a scholar of Hanlin, was ordered to send an envoy to the Khalkha Mongolian Chechen Khan. Along the way, he wrote poems to record what he saw and heard, and later compiled it as "Poems of the Chechen Khan". In mid to late March of the same year, through Zhangjiakou out of the upper dam, in mid-May, when returning to live in Zhangjiakou for two days, on May 16, you will visit the jellyfish palace. It shows that at that time, the beautiful scenery of the Jellyfish Palace was still flourishing, so that the passing envoys squeezed out time to enjoy it. At this time, a few years ago, the temple wall inscription poems of Du Tong and others are still intact, this Hanlin bachelor read it, and the skill is itchy for a while, but it is a rhyme, so there is a poem "Swimming Jellyfish Temple with Wall Poetry".

The spring water is warm and cool, and the ancient temple is facing the sun.

It is advisable to clean the pen when returning from thousands of miles, and several people gather for this banquet.

The wild goose is cultivated, and the crown is made up of the dragon mother.

It should be rain for the common people, and I would like to recommend Danhuang.

Reading the three poems carefully, the rhyme is strictly limited to the four characters of "yang", "zhen", "makeup" and "yellow", which is the "step rhyme" in the poem and (hè). Under the poem of Yanqing, he added a small note and said: "There are many poems on the wall, which seem to be the one who travels in the autumn here." "Those who reclaim land in mountain villages are all guests. "The temple worships the jellyfish, that is, the dragon mother, and the two walls are painted with the palace makeup to the sky. "There is a four-character plaque hanging outside the hall, 'Lin Yu Cangsheng'. When compiling his own collection of poems, as the reason for the poems, Yanqing also included the inscriptions of Pu Ying and Fu Mao, so that today we can realistically imagine the elegant scene of this jellyfish palace banquet. At the same time, a few small notes also left a few clues to examine the history of Jellyfish Palace and the surrounding Yongfeng Fort.

Feast and gather, climb high to enjoy the autumn, chant poems on the wall, celebrate birthdays, think about a hundred years ago, what a fascinating scene!Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the changes of the world, the poetry wall in the temple and the cultural relics at that time have now disappeared. After reading the poems and books, covering the volume silently, I thought: if the old things are still there, accompanied by the stories of the time, they have been preserved to this day, which should be nothing less than a humanistic scene in the Jellyfish Palace Forest Park.
