"Lingwu Autumn Wind".

King of Qingjing, Zhu Chang

Lingwu Mountain is in the west of Lingao Fort, every year in autumn and July and August, the sound is like the wind.

Cui Yuan used to be here, and the world has changed with time.

The autumn wind ancient road smells the drums, and the sunset is barren and the horses and camels are herded.

Far and near the army is fortified, and the vague inscription is engraved around the smoke.

The rise and fall of the ages is only like this, and there is no need to be emotional.

Modern life is basically a lot of pressure, many people fantasize that they can get rich overnight, there is endless money, such as buying lottery tickets to win the first prize in a small Boda.

Then do nothing, lie flat at home or spend the whole day hiking. I feel that I am free and free to do whatever I want, and this kind of life is the most comfortable.

Is this really the case?

Zhu Chang, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem when he was traveling"Lingwu Autumn Wind".It's all about the helplessness of such days. The life of the rich is not so easy either.

Zhu Chang, the sixteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was born in the eleventh year of Hongwu (1378 AD), and he was one year younger than his nephew Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen.

When Zhu Yuanzhang stabilized the world and established the Ming Dynasty, he envisioned it very ideally, that is, "the Son of Heaven guards the country" and "treats different surnames with the same surname".

To put it simply, it is to assign their sons to various places, one person manages a place, and is named the vassal king, and the brothers can take care of each other and help each other when there is something, so that the Ming Dynasty can be forever solid, and the surname Zhu is from generation to generation.

There are a lot of places that need to be defended, so this Zhu Chang was named King of Qing by Zhu Yuanzhang in the 24th year of Hongwu, and the initial fief was in Qingyang (now Qingyang, Gansu), and later moved to the more frontier Yinchuan (then known as Ningxia Wei) in Ningxia.

However, because Ningxia Wei was at the forefront of the war against the captives at that time, coupled with the uneven food, it was difficult to afford the huge economic expenditure of the palace, so he first lived in Weizhou City for 9 years, and was provided by the rent of Yan'an, Suide, and Ningxia nearby.

Here, the young prince spent the most chic and high-spirited period of his life.

Because he was "wise by nature, knowledgeable, and good at poetry", and managed the military affairs of Qingyang, Ningxia, Yan'an, and Suide, and was responsible for guarding the territory of Saishang.

To put it simply, he is a young, powerful, talented and wealthy prince!

If it hadn't happened that his nephew Emperor Jianwen cut the domain, his fourth brother Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was unwilling to be tied and launched the "Battle of Jingyan". In his life, he was definitely a powerful vassal king in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, after Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was afraid that his brothers in various places would learn from him and come to a "Jingnan change", so he changed his father Zhu Yuanzhang's "same surname to different surname" to "different surnames to treat the same surname". Eunuchs were sent to each vassal king's station, called Zhenshou, to monitor the vassal kings' every move.

In this way, Zhu Chang, who was far away in Ningxia, suddenly changed from a prominent Northwest vassal king with real power to a nominal "rich man".

Without a head, he had the idea of returning to Jiangnan, but he was rejected.

Fortunately, because he stood correctly in the "Battle of Jingjing" and showed "loyalty and filial piety", Ming Chengzu Zhu Di specially approved that he could go out of Ningxia Town (Yinchuan City) to Weizhou every summer to spend the summer.

In this way, as soon as he arrived in early summer every year, he set off for Weizhou, and returned to Ningxia Town (Yinchuan City) in late autumn.

The route he went and went back was a loop, one route was from Yinchuan through Huangshadu (Hengchengdu) or Rencundu, to Qingtongxia and Hongsibao to Weizhou;

The other route is from Yinchuan to Pingji Fort to Guangwuying across Qingtongxia, through Jinji Fort, Wuzhong Fort to Hongsi Fort, and then to Weizhou.

The place where the poem "Lingwu Autumn Wind" is located is in the place where the 110 National Highway is about to reach Qingtongxia (Guangwuying). It is in Helan Mountain, which is north-west of Guangwuying, and there is a "Lingwu Mountain".

The chronicle says: ".Lingwu Mountain, also known as Salomo Mountain, is now Liumu Gao (Gao) Mountain. Lin Gao Fort, in the territory of Qingtongxia City, Ningxia today

When he returned from Weizhou, it was late autumn, crossed the Qingtong Gorge, and arrivedLingao FortResting, while enjoying the late autumn scenery of Lingwu Mountain, looking at the desolate and lonely scenery, I thought of my own experience, and couldn't help but feel it.

Cui Yuan used to be here, and the world has changed with time. "I used to come here as a vassal king, but now I can only come back as a tourist, the world is unpredictable, it is really unpredictable, only melancholy and helplessness remain.

The autumn wind ancient road smells the drums, and the sunset is barren and the horses and camels are herded. "The hustle and bustle of the past has faded, and all that remains is a kind of loneliness unique to the frontier. It's about the same as my own situation.

Far and near the army is fortified, and the vague inscription is engraved around the smoke. The author laments the changes here, vast and calm.

The rise and fall of the ages is only like this, and there is no need to be emotional. "Everything is fleeting, there is no need to sigh, let's live every day!

The time when he wrote this poem was before 1428 A.D., and it was his heyday in the Spring and Autumn Period, so the strong unwillingness and helplessness revealed in the poem can be described as three points.

What about having money? What's the point of not being able to realize your ambitions and wasting your time?

Just like in life today.

In this materialistic society, people tend to see wealth as a sign of success, believing that having enough money will allow them to achieve their ambitions and live the life they want. But is that really the case? Is money really everything?

It must be admitted that money can indeed bring convenience to life to a certain extent. It can help people solve many real-world problems such as paying tuition fees, medical bills, buying a house, etc.

However, once the basic needs of life are met, more money does not seem to bring more happiness to a person. In fact, many studies have shown that the happiness that money brings is limited to some extent.

Money does not help a person achieve all his ambitions. It does not help people find the meaning of life. In the pursuit of wealth, many people tend to ignore the things that are really important in life, such as family, friendship, and love. The absence of these emotions makes their lives empty and boring.

The value of life is not in the amount of money, but in how you spend this short time. It is true that money can help achieve one's ambitions to a certain extent, but it is not a panacea.

When you have enough wealth, but you find that you can't achieve your true dreams, you will feel extremely lost.

Or to put it this way, money does not completely determine the value of a person's life. You should be clear about your goals in life and strive to pursue your dreams, rather than blindly pursuing wealth.

As Ostrovsky said, "A man's life should be spent in such a way that, when he looks back, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction." ”

Cherish every moment of your life, pursue your dreams bravely, and make life more meaningful.

Zhu Chang is the same, when he understood that the reality could not be changed, he changed from being in love with the mountains and rivers to having a direction.

He used his own expertise to write local chronicles, and he wrote "Ningxia Chronicles", which was the first local chronicle book in Ningxia, and he was good at poetry, using poetry to record the mountains and rivers of Ningxia and the customs and customs, and everyone felt the appearance of Ningxia more than 600 years ago.

It has made great contributions to the development of Ningxia's history and culture.

But he couldn't get out of his obsession.

Although he is trying to be a "rich man", he is always involved and slandered.

In Ningxia for 47 years, after Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and orthodoxy 6 dynasties, it can be said that among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he and they accounted for half of the same time and space.

Finally, in the third year of Orthodoxy (1438 AD), he became depressed and became ill.

In the second year, he was buried in Lishan Zhiyang, west of Weizhou.

This poem also witnesses his years and helpless life!
