Zhao Village and its nephew Zhao Wuye Culture

Zhao Village is located in Xingao Township, Dai County. Its nephew is not an ordinary person, but a famous figure from the mid to late Warring States period - Zhao Wuling Wang Zhao Yong. According to the Annals of Dai Zhou · Wanli Edition, the ancient city of Dai Zhou was built by King Wuling of Zhao. Its function is to expand the territory of Zhao, open up trade barriers with ethnic minorities, and let Zhao countrymen take the "Silk Road" well. The ancient city of Daizhou built by King Wuling of Zhao has become another starting city for the Silk Road. After the famous reform of "Hu Fu Qi She" in the 19th year of King Wuling of Zhao, after several years of warfare, he submitted to many ethnic tribes and established four commanderies: Dai, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, and Yanmen. The territory of Zhao State was suddenly drawn onto the Daqing Mountain in present-day Inner Mongolia. Sitting in the capital of Zhao, Handan, one must manage the three counties of Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, and Daizhou outside Yanmen Pass, and firmly grasp the initiative of foreign trade on the Silk Road. Daizhou inside Yanmen Pass is the best base. The documentary "The Road of Jade and Stone" broadcasted by CCTV and the ancient literature "The Biography of Emperor Mu" provide another perspective on this argument.
The Road of Jade and Stone "states that jade transported from Xinjiang passes through Baotou and Hohhot in Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and enters Yanmen Pass in Shanxi, and a clear and eye-catching map of the transportation of jade and stone is displayed on the screen. Jade was transported from Yanmen Pass to Anyang, which gave rise to the exquisite jade burial objects found in the tomb of Fu Hao, the great general of the Yin and Shang dynasties. This female general, Fu Hao, has been in the army for about 3300 years. The Biography of Emperor Mu is only over 1500 words long, but it tells the story of something that happened when he traveled westward to Yanmen Pass. The destination of King Mu of Zhou's western tour was Kunlun Mountain, which later became known as the Western Regions. He led the crowd from Chang'an to Yanmen Pass, which was bitterly snowy and cold. Due to the tough conditions, one of King Mu's favorite concubines died on the way to Yanmen Pass. When King Mu of Zhou returned from Kunlun to Yanmen Pass, he looked at the cold tomb of his beloved concubine and filled it with a mournful and melancholic "Yellow Bamboo Poem". He ordered musicians to dance and sing it as a tribute. The Annals of Daizhou, Wanli Edition "records:" At the corner of the mountain, Emperor Mu arrived here and wrote the Yellow Bamboo Poem. "The Commentary on the Water Classic states:" The corner of the mountain is a mountain pass, namely Yanmen Pass. King Mu of Zhou is about 2900 years ago.
The historical conclusion that 'King Wuling of Zhao is the nephew of Zhao Village' originated from the mouths of Zhao Village and the villagers of Zhongjie 18th Street, and has become a common saying, which is not found in official historical records. The construction of the Great Wall by King Wuling of Zhao, from Zhangjiakou in the east to Jiuyuan in Baotou in the west, is recorded in official history. But whether or not the Great Wall and Yanmen Purple Pass on the mountain were repaired or not, there is no clear explanation, only a one-sided statement in the local chronicles. However, the ancient steles preserved in the Zhao Wuling Wang Temple and the temple fair in Zhao Village all agree that Zhao Wuling Wang built the Great Wall at Yanmen Pass (experts have verified that there is a Warring States Great Wall on Guanshan), built the city of Daizhou, and his camp was stationed in Zhao Village, and he was definitely Zhao Village's nephew. These ideas and viewpoints are preserved in the intangible cultural heritage in a unique form unique to the people of Zhao Village.
Zhao Wuling Wang, also known as the "Wuye" in the ideological concept of Zhao Village people, dates back more than 2400 years.
In the year 2400, the love between the grandmother, uncle, and nephew who constantly drew knives
Zhao Village, as well as the larger Zhongjie 18th Street (which is a natural village), has over 10000 acres of water land (excluding the working land), and its population and land area almost cover the entire township of Gaoxin. Why can this plot make Zhao Wuling Wang's faith religious? The "Annals of Daizhou: Group Worship" (16th year of the Wanli reign) provides a theoretical explanation that excludes the notion of "Wuling Wang Grandma Bay". The Temple of King Wuling of Zhao, also known as the Temple of Thinking Hu, is located on the top of Zijing Mountain. King Wuling of Zhao built the Great Wall to prepare for the Hu. During the Zhao Dynasty (Zhangjiakou), the Yin Mountain was passed down. Therefore, the people of the county made great contributions. But this statement is made from the perspective of the entire state of Daizhou, because with the Great Wall, the people of the state can live and work in peace, and worship for their achievements. But I can't answer. There are three Wuye temples on the land in Zhao Village. The Wuye temple fair on February 19th is the cultural origin of activities such as praying for rain to Wuye. Only the theory that 'Wu Ye is Zhao Village's nephew' can explain the deep relationship between Zhao Village people and Zhao Wuling Wang, as well as the cultural foundation of Zhao Village people deifying Wu Ye. There is a saying among the people of Daizhou: 'We cannot be as close as our uncle, nor as fragrant as pork.'. My nephew's affection is not affection. However, during the investigation and interview, the author gradually discovered that beyond the flesh and blood relationship of my uncle, there is also something that the Chinese nation pursues together, which connects ancient and modern people, namely reform, development, and the people of Zhaocun today, triggering a strong psychological resonance. Slowly savoring the "General History of China", the Chinese nation is constantly seeking national development through change. Specifically, my nephew wants to reform and strive for strength, my maternal uncle's family also wants to reform and strive for strength, King Wuling of Zhao wants to reform and strive for strength, and the people of Zhao Village also want to reform and strive for strength. Can such emotions and shared value pursuits be severed? Only by cutting off the water with a knife can the water flow more.
On February 2nd, Dong Haihai accompanied us on the inspection. Dong Haihai was in his early forties. Although he couldn't tell the name of King Wuling of Zhao, he could tell that the temple dedicated to King Wuling of Zhao was dedicated to Lord Wu of Zhao and the "Little Third Lord", and also talked about the uniqueness of Zhao Village. Its unique keywords are "nephew" and "three palaces", and there are none in the entire county or province. Executive Deputy County Mayor Zhang Yi, who was inspecting with me, promoted Zhao Wuling Wang to Haihai. He said that as a former citizen of the State of Zhao, building temples and holding temple fairs to worship a generation of famous monarchs, and to worship Zhao Wuye, who led the State of Zhao to become one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States period, is a kind of gratitude, pride, motivation, and motivation. Zhao Wuye should not be forgotten, nor should the platform or temple for spreading Wuye's achievements be abandoned. It took courage for King Wuling of Zhao to abandon his broad robe and pants and learn the advanced culture of backward nomadic tribes, and he needed to let go of his royal demeanor. "King Wuling of Zhao also became accustomed to wearing Hu clothing and practicing horseback riding and archery. He broke through the forest Hu and Lou Fan in the north, built the Great Wall, and replaced himself with the Yin Mountain at the foot of the Great Wall, and set up Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Daijun as a barrier (now a pass between Wula Mountain and Langshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia). Dong Haihai cleverly retorted to us, 'Isn't Zhao Wuye powerful?! He's a good ruler, isn't he?! But he was born to a woman from our Zhao village, and his life was given to him by the people of Zhao village! Glory also belongs to Zhao village, and Zhao village should also be written in history!' At this moment, the children we were examining came up with a classic saying, 'Zhao village is Wu Wuye's grandmother's bay!'
