Chapter 319 Baling
Speaking of Baling, I believe many people are not very familiar with it.
But when it comes to Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower, many people will probably be energetic.
But it's not a positive one, but a gritting spirit.
After all, the "Yueyang Tower" by Dongting Lake in junior high school has made people feel like they are dying of death, and I wish I could drag the author Fan Zhongyan out to whip the corpse.
Speaking of which, the reality of Baling County is not just a small matter in the game, but a central city that has been standing in the first year of Taikang in Emperor Wu of Jin (281 AD), and the capital of Baling County is located!
However, during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the counties and counties were simplified, Baling County was abolished, and it was built into Bazhou. However, in the 11th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (591 AD), Bazhou was changed to Yuezhou, and Baling was renamed Yueyang.
Perhaps because it was not the traditional historical world, in the third year of Zhenguan (629 AD), Baling County was established again, with Baling County as the county seat.
Just as Yangzhou is the capital of Guangling County, Baling County is also an extremely important city in the Tang Empire.
Although Yangzhou is not as prosperous as it is close to Bashu, it is one of the main trade routes for merchants to enter Shu or Nanzhao and other countries. Therefore, the business is also prosperous, with a lot of people and a large population.
Therefore, Baling County should actually be called Baling City. It is just because of hundreds of years of habit that the two names of Baling County and Baling City coexist.
In addition, because the head of the Beggars' Gang Junshan is located around Dongting Lake, and Baling County is the largest city around Dongting Lake, it has attracted many people from the Jianghu who are very respectful to the Beggars' Gang to visit.
Of course, because of the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake, many literati and poets have attracted to leave behind magic treasures.
Wait, Mobao?
Looking at the Yueyang Tower in the distance, Li Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Should he be the copycat again and maintain his "talented" character?
It happened that Liu Qifei had been hoping that he would write another poem before he left, and that Yueyang Tower wrote a poem to satisfy the girl's wish.
But, should we copy Fan Zhongyan’s “Yueyang Tower Notes” or Li Bai’s “Climbing Yueyang Tower with Xia Shi Er”?
One of these two articles is a prose about Yueyang Tower and the other is a poem about Yueyang Tower. Both are popular and famous works that have been passed down through the ages, and they have not yet been born, so it is really difficult to choose.
Fan Zhongyan needs no more. Although some contents of people from the Northern Song Dynasty were not suitable for appearing during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, they mainly intercepted and described the scenery of Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake. Although they were not as profound as the original version, they were definitely a masterpiece that descriptively describes the scenery.
As for the poem "Climbing Yueyang Tower with the Twelve Xia", in history, it was written in the autumn of the second year of Qianyuan (759 AD) of Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty. Li Bai was pardoned and climbed Yueyang Tower when he visited Dongting in the south of Jiangxia.
And now it is the end of 745, and there are still 14 years left before 759 years. It can be said that as soon as it is written, the author of this poem will change from the future Li Bai to the current Li Changyuan.
Alas, it's such a happy worry.
.........
"Qiao Yun, when you arrive in Baling, you are the host, you have to arrange us."
Walking on the wide streets of Baling County, Li Changyuan couldn't help but say jokingly to Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun gave him a charming roll of his eyes and said angrily: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you make your arrangements clearly."
Forehead....
Li Changyuan suddenly twitched slightly.
Influenced by the Internet surfing in previous lives, this "arrangement is clear" is not a good thing.
But forget it, Qiao Yun definitely doesn't know the meaning of this. It's just an unintentional move, so there is no need to exaggerate it.
Still pressing down the uncontrollable thoughts in his heart, Li Changyuan spoke again:
"First, please use the energy of the Beggars' Sect to find the Keren girl. We have to meet her to see how her investigation is going. Of course, before the news comes back, I'm waiting, so why not take us around Baling County? I'm quite interested in Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake."
"Yueyang Tower? What is that?" Qiao Yun looked at him with a confused look on his face.
As a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, why didn't she know that there is Yueyang Tower in Baling?
Not only her, but even Gao Jiangting and Gu Zhilan were confused.
Because they have never heard of the building called Yueyang Tower in Baling.
Logically speaking, it is worthy of being so popular with Li Changyuan, so why have they never heard of it?
For a moment they all doubted their lives.
Seeing the three girls confused, Li Changyuan was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted.
He forgot that the name "Yueyang Tower" was only available after Li Bai wrote the poem "Climbing Yueyang Tower with Twelve Xia" and that Baling was renamed Yueyang City at that time, so the name "Yueyang Tower" began to be passed down for thousands of years.
Now, Yueyang Tower is not called Yueyang Tower.
Thinking of this, although Li Changyuan had a warm smile on his face, he said in his heart: It’s okay, as long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassing one is someone else.
However, I still have to find a way to explain the past.
With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Li Changyuan quickly got an idea:
"Yueyang Tower is the "June Tower" of the Eastern Wu general Lu Su during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is also the "Baling City Tower" during the Western Jin Dynasty and Southern and Northern Dynasties. Wasn't Baling renamed "Yueyang" in the 11th year of Kaihuang in the previous dynasty? I think the name "Yueyang Tower" is more artistic and simpler than "Baling City Tower", so that's why it is called it."
"It turned out to be the 'Baling Tower'."
When all the girls suddenly realized that Li Changyuan could make such a self-justified explanation.
Wouldn't it be better if you had said it was the 'Baling Tower'?
We have heard of this name.
Moreover, according to rumors, after climbing the Baling Tower, you can indeed see the vast and boundless scene of the 800-mile Dongting, and it has a unique flavor.
Qiao Yun threw a charming look at Li Changyuan and smiled and said, "Since you care so much about Baling City Tower, no, Yueyang Tower, then I have to take you to Yueyang Tower to see whatever I say today."
Gu Zhilan also echoed: "Brother Changyuan, you must remember to leave a masterpiece by then. If you like Yueyang Tower so much, if you don't leave anything, I'm sorry for your title of "No. 1 Talent in the World".
"What is the 'No. 1 talented man in the world'? Who has gained fame? It's both ugly and easy to offend people." Li Changyuan couldn't help but complain.
"If you don't say it far away, Ye Ying, the owner of Zangjian Villa, has extremely high literary attainments, but he is just a low-key person."
"My Tang Empire is vast and has a large population. Even if it is a person in the martial arts world, there will inevitably be people with outstanding literary talent. I can't afford to be the name of "the number one talent in the martial arts world."
"Hehehe, this is from Yinyuanhui. We don't know who called this for the first time, so you accept your fate."
As he said that, Gu Zhilan did not forget to wink at Li Changyuan playfully.
"It's Yinyuanhui again, this is to praise me. I'll teach them a lesson sooner or later."
Li Changyuan said helplessly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the Beggars' Sect in the city to ask about Keren's movements, and then go to Yueyang Tower to take a look."
