Beitaishang site

Beitaishang site

Beitaishang site, unearthed in Yangzhuang Town, Tengzhou City, is a large-scale tomb integrating the tombs of Yin, Western Zhou and Han Dynasties.

The site is about one li long, close to the area of Datai in the west of beitaishang village, Yangzhuang Town, Tengzhou City. The specimens collected at the site include cone-shaped, ghost face shaped tripod, fragments of brown pottery, edge of jar mouth, mouth of pig, etc. Most of them are brown pottery with sand, and some are decorated with rope patterns. One antler was found with obvious traces of use. This site is rich in connotation, including Longshan, Yin, Western Zhou and Han Dynasties. In 1980, it was announced as a municipal key cultural relics protection unit.

In the west of the village is a piece of earthen platform, which is called "Taishang" in Huang's poem. It is called "Zhangge laowanglin platform" locally. There is a protection monument of "beitaishang site" on it. It is a municipal cultural relic protection unit. Now it has become a vegetable garden. On the west side of the platform is the Xuehe river. After years of scouring, the platform on both sides of the river has formed a vertical section more than 10 meters high. The soil layer in the section is mixed with the northern Xin culture 7000 years ago, the Longshan culture 4000 years ago, the Yueshi culture 3000 years ago, and the relics of human life from Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties to the present. It is like a thick stratigraphic history book, one layer of soil in a dynasty, one layer after another Overlapping, a "page" is a thousand years

Wanglintai, also known as "Ge Lao Tai", was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty by GE Lao Zhang Xiaochun. According to legend, Zhang Ge built his own mausoleum in the forest land of Zhangjia, which is a river away from the village. For fear of being seized by others, he built a pin shaped earthen platform with a height of more than six Zhang, and went on the platform to watch the guards every day. Although after hundreds of years of wind and rain, wanglintai is no longer the same as it used to be, it still leaves the present beitaishang site, which seems to tell the story of that year.

The local term "Zhang Ge Lao" should be "Zhang Xiaochun, the Prime Minister of the puppet Qi Dynasty". It's not easy to have a "prime minister" here. How can he still be called a "fake"? It is found that Zhang Xiaochun was recorded in Wanli edition of Teng county annals, Volume 8, waizhuan: "Teng people, who were officials in the early Song Dynasty, were the magistrate of Taiyuan In the first year of Jingkang, he died and was trapped in Taiyuan by drinking soldiers. In Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu was appointed as emperor, Dongping as Tokyo, Xiaochun and Zheng Yinian as prime ministers, and Xiaochun served as puppet Qi. " No wonder Wang Yuanbin, the chief writer of Teng county annals in Ming Dynasty, who always held the concept of "orthodoxy", wrote when introducing the monument of "Tomb of prime minister Zhang", that "in Shanyu society in the east of the city, the prime minister's name is Yongxi, and Zhang Xiaochun's name is Yongxi? However, Liu Yu is not enough to survive! "

It is also mentioned in "waizhuan" that Zhang Xiaochun's "returning to his hometown to serve as an official is a tribute to the temple's renovation". Therefore, the predecessor of "Jieyi Temple" may be the temple built by Zhang Xiaochun However, in the era of Huang lailin in the Qing Dynasty a hundred years ago, when the poet came here for a field visit, he already doubted whether there was a hall. It can be seen that the former residence of "prime minister Zhang" had disappeared at that time The site of "former residence" is a good place for people to live in. Huang Shi describes that "ten thousand schools of springs make a mirror, four mountains are covered with mist and Qi". Standing on the high platform, looking around, the scenery is really good: four green mountains, one water flows southward, looking up at the white clouds and listening to the rivers, Xue river forms a "small Three Gorges" landscape here, and then to the north is the Huishui Bay and Shanting snow The Lingzhi temple and the Xiaoying noble cemetery in Dongjiang village are protected by the ancient temples of our country. The green water and green mountains are adjacent to each other. It is a school of beautiful scenery

Zhang Xiaochun? Yongxi, a native of tengyang (now Beitai village, Yangzhuang Town, Tengzhou City, Shandong Province). At the end of Xuanhe period in the Northern Song Dynasty, He Dong Xuanfu envoys also knew Taiyuan Prefecture. In the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125), the Jin army defeated the alliance and went south, besieging Taiyuan with heavy troops. Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Chi, the vice governor of the capital, led the army and the people to stick to it for more than years and refused to surrender. In the first year of Jingkang (1126, the fourth year of jintianhui), the city of Taiyuan was destroyed, and Wang Chen died in the war. He was captured and refused to surrender. He returned to Yunzhong and had to surrender. In 1130, the Jin Dynasty established Liu Yu as the emperor of Qi and established the puppet Qi regime. Zhang Xiaochun was appointed prime minister. In the 15th year of Tianhui, he tasted the fake books, plotted ten events in the Song Dynasty, and made a secret report in the Song Dynasty. After the abolition of the puppet Qi regime, he became the Prime Minister of Bianjing Xingtai. After a year, please go home. He died in the fourth year of Huangtong (1144) and was posthumously named Anjian. There are several poems left.

There is also an interesting phenomenon here: to build a "Jieyi Temple" in front of the families of officials who had "surrendered and defected" to praise the spirit of "loyalty, filial piety and righteousness" of Liu, Guan and Zhang. If it is unintentional, it is OK. If it is intentional, it is thought-provoking. What is the deep meaning: is it a shame? Is it a warning? Irony? Or as a "negative textbook"? Chinese feudal officials and scholar bureaucrats have always paid attention to "integrity", paid attention to "loyal officials do not serve as two masters", and highly praised Guan Yu's loyalty and righteousness spirit of "being in caoying and heart in Han Dynasty", and officials who had betrayed behavior have been listed in the "biography of two ministers" in the official history. However, in China's thousands of years of fast changing history, is there any objective and fair standard or yardstick for the so-called "integrity" and "loyalty"? In the thousands of years of the cycle of several decades of dynasty replacement, after you sing, I come to the stage, the city changes, the banner of the king, and the "celebrity" is so clear? Is "loyalty" so clear? History is always written by the winner, and it has always been the "jungle rule" and the "taboo" logic of choice

——In this way, history is sometimes a "little girl to be dressed up"

The beitaishang site is about to be submerged by the newly built Zhuangli reservoir. In order to ensure the smooth progress of cultural relics protection of Zhuangli reservoir project, the archaeological exploration and excavation of Zhuangli reservoir project was officially launched in July 2016. Zhuangli reservoir project involves cultural relics protection units such as Beitai site (zhangxiaochun wanglintai) and foreground tombs. The archaeological excavation work was jointly carried out by Shandong Institute of cultural relics and archaeology, Shandong University, Zhengzhou University, Tengzhou Museum and other units. During the work, the archaeologists strictly followed the requirements of the "work plan for the protection of cultural relics of Zhuangli reservoir project in Shandong Province" approved by the State Administration of cultural relics and the working rules of field archaeology. At present, the overall archaeological exploration and excavation work is progressing steadily and smoothly.
