It is said that during the Qing Daoguang period, there was a daughter of a large family in Pailou Village named Yuanzhen, who was born beautiful, talented, smart and beautiful, and at the same time learned the female red needlework, read and practiced calligraphy. She has been very close to her cousin Qingmao in the neighboring village Sansheng Long since she was a child. gradually grew up, and the feelings deepened. In the year of the year, it is up to the parents of both parties to make decisions and make a marriage contract for them.
What Yuanzhen never expected was that her parents later repented of their marriage, which made her cousin's parents very angry, cut off relations with her family, and moved the family to Wudandong Garden.
The change in the marriage made the young Yuanzhen sad and desolate, and her soul was tormented. Sometimes, she still hopes to reunite with her cousin Qingmao and talk about the front edge again, but the difficulties and obstacles of reality can only make her suppress her feelings.
After her cousin Qingmao's family moved away, she frowned and sighed silently alone, and secretly made an unswerving love vow with the strength of gold and stone, the cleanliness of ice and snow, and Qingmao would not marry in this life.
said that this Qingmao, after experiencing this change, he was already introverted and became more and more depressed, and he never forgot his cousin Yuanzhen, and he also found someone to send a letter to Yuanzhen and secretly communicate the news. Qingmao's health has not been very good since he was a child, and two years after moving to Dongyuanzi with his parents, he became ill because of too much longing, and contracted a cold, and died of cure.
Yuanzhen got bad news, her heart was broken, the sudden change in love, and the death of her sweetheart happened to the young Yuanzhen one after another, how did she bear it. Her feelings for Qingmao have been deeply rooted in her heart since she was a child, and the interference of her parents cannot change her, nor can the barrier of life and death change her. With sorrow and hatred, longing for life and death, I am willing to turn my heart into an endless love and lovesickness that cannot be obtained in this life, and I can only miss my departed lover forever.
Yuanzhen regards herself as a widow, and remembers her love with Qingmao with the true feelings of Bingqing Yujie and the will of Jin Shizhijian.
Yuanzhen originally had no intention of cherishing the world, thinking that her parents were in the hall, she couldn't be martyred, and she was determined to keep the festival and refused to get married. However, when her parents saw that she was getting older year by year, they forced her to marry and forced her to be promised to a family.
The villagers lamented the story of Yuanzhen, so they jointly reported to the official office, requesting that Yuanzhen be given a memorial arch for chastity and show Yuanzhen's deeds.
For the women who abide by chastity to set up a chastity arch is also one of the local political achievements, it will play the imperial court again, and allocate funds for Yuan Zhen to set up a chastity arch at the entrance of the village.
It is said that this is the memorial arch of chastity erected by Yuan Zhen is built of pure bluestone, three doors and four pillars, five foreheads and six arches, the pattern of the third floor at the top, some say that the forehead is engraved with the four words of "virgin bereavement" given by Daoguang Emperor, and some say that the title is "women's road dry city", the back is also engraved with the inscription of the square table, and there is also a couplet engraved on the two large pillars.
Nowadays, the archway has long been gone, leaving only a village name called "archway".
Thinking about the ancient arch of chastity, each archway is the history of women's blood and tears, each archway is a monument to a woman, each archway has its own bleak and euphemistic and tortuous story, which makes people sigh.
