The Gate of Hell is a topic that has troubled the academic community for many years in the history of Lingnan literature,It involves Guangdong、Guangxi、Three provinces and regions of Hainan。Where is the Gate of Hell?Why is“Born to Hell&bet365 games;’s statement?These questions,Historical documents cannot be completely deciphered,The only way is to combine the literature description with “Born to Hell&bet365 games;Combination of historical scenes。
Looking for the Gate of bet365 games
After Tang Dynasty,Every remote and dangerous place in China,People all call it “Gate of Hell&bet365 games;'s place name。About“Gate of Hell&bet365 games;appeared in "Fourteen Prefectures and Counties· in Du You's "Tongdian" in the Tang Dynasty;Ancient South Vietnam":
Rongzhou,Today’s Beiliu County……More than thirty miles south of the state,There are two stones facing each other,Like a closed door,Thirty paces wide,Common name“Gate of Hell&bet365 games;。General Ma Yuan of Han Fubo attacked Lin Yiman,Route here,Erect a monument,The stone turtle is still there。Going to Jiaozhi in the past,It’s all about this。The south is especially plagued by miasma,Those who die rarely survive,Proverb: “‘Gate of Hell’,Ten people go,Nine Not Return。&bet365 games;
Late March 2013,The author came to Beiliu County to look for the Gate of bet365 games。I heard that the Gate of bet365 games is at the junction of Beiliu City and Yulin City,The author arrived at the Tianmen Temple in Guimen Kuemun Village under the guidance of local people。
The ancient small temple is located in the embrace of the mountains,The surrounding trees are green。Next to the slope door entering the temple,Stands a piece about 80 cm high、About 60 cm wide、10 cm thick stone tablet,A powerful &ldquo appears on the front of the monument.;Guimingguan&bet365 games;Three big characters,The small characters on the left and right sides have been blurred,Only recognize the top “黄明&bet365 games;Two words,Indicates that it is an inscription left over from the Ming Dynasty。According to historical records,After Song Dynasty,The name of Guimen Pass has been changed in many ways,As it was called in the Yuan Dynasty, ";Kuixingguan&bet365 games;,In the Ming Dynasty, there was ";Tianmen Pass&bet365 games;、“Guimingguan&bet365 games;、“hangingmenguan&bet365 games;etc.。Then,Is this the gate of hell in history?
Go further up,I saw the horizontal plaque on the temple saying Yubei Tianmen Temple。While the author was observing the ancient temple,An old man in his 70s next to him said: “This is a temple,Not the gate of hell,The gate of hell is closed on the opposite side of the mountain。&bet365 games;So,The author happily followed the old man down the mountain,The path passing between two mountains,After another difficult climb,Finally climbed halfway up the mountain on the opposite side,The group was already out of breath,Sweating profusely。The author asked: What is the name of this mountain?The old man answered: In Mandarin, it is called Guigua Mountain。In Nanning“Vernacular&bet365 games;中,“melon&bet365 games;ie“Home&bet365 games;,Guigua Mountain is Guijia Mountain,Enter“Gate of Hell&bet365 games;I’m about to enter the ghost’s house。The author’s speculation was approved by the old guide。
Come to the scene
There is a cement monument as tall as a person erected on the hillside,Divided into two parts,Written in marble。Slightly carved&ldquo on the upper half of the front;Tianmen Pass&bet365 games;Three big characters,There are two lines of small characters on the side,The upline is“Beiliu County Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit&bet365 games;,Downlink is“Beiliu County People’s Government announced on October 18, 1975&bet365 games;、“Beiliu County Cultural Relics Management Office&bet365 games;。The old guide told the author,The&ldquo seen in front of Tianmen Temple;Guimingguan&bet365 games;The monument was originally erected here,It was only moved to the front of the small temple in the 1960s and 1970s。
There is a description engraved on the front bet365 games lower half bet365 games cement monument,The "Tianmen Pass Protection Regulations" is engraved on the back。The caption on the front reads:
Tianmen Pass was formerly known as Guimen Pass,Since Tang and Song Dynasties,This is from Central Plains to Qin、Lian、雷、An important passage between Qiong and Jiaozhi,It is a very famous place。When many famous figures were demoted to Hainan Island,Everyone passes here,And wrote poems handed down from generation to generation。Tang Dynasty poet Shen Quanqi、Prime Minister Li Deyu,Song Dynasty writer Su Dongpo and others wrote ";Gate of Hell&bet365 games;Poetry。On the stone wall“Tianmen Pass&bet365 games;The three characters were engraved in the third year of Xuande (1428) in the Ming Dynasty,It’s been 559 years now。
Led by the old man,The author climbed up again along the rugged mountain road,About one or two hundred meters later,There is a big cave。There is a stone wall as high as a person outside the cave,There are three big characters on it: Tianmen Pass。I learned about it online before“Tianmen Historic Sites&bet365 games;,Introduction“Tianmen Pass&bet365 games;There is a small poem next to the three big characters,“Traveling thousands of miles to travel through the sky,Looking at the sea and mountains from the end of the world。Cut thorns and climb cliffs to find old carvings,Still planning to return to Beiliu&bet365 games;,And said“The little poem has been written all over the place,Unrecognizable&bet365 games;。The author repeatedly observed at the scene,“Tianmen Pass&bet365 games;Besides the three big characters, there is no trace of a small poem engraved on the stone wall。I’m afraid this rumor is far-fetched。
Standing with the Ancients“Born to Hell&bet365 games;’s historical scene,Many historical details can be reviewed here。It is said,The gate of hell is closed because of “There are two stones facing each other,Like a closed door&bet365 games;so named,So what is the current situation of the two stones?The old man pointed to the top of the mountain opposite and said: “Look,The stone on the left looks like a stone dog!&bet365 games;The right side was originally a pheasant,It is rumored that the head is raised high,The tail is raised too high,A thunderstorm,Head of the chukar、The tail was blown off。The author savors it carefully,The left side really looks like a fat dog,There is only one stone left on the right。
Is it really so scary to go through hell??Why“Ten people go,Nine Not Returns&bet365 games;?Du You said“Nanyou is full of miasma&bet365 games;,That is, the gate of hell is scary not because of the dangerous terrain but because of the disease。The old man also said it,Malaria was endemic here in the past,He had it as a child,But it can be cured by boiling water with a local leaf。
Standing at the historical scene,Looking back at the literature records,It is clear that the gate of bet365 games is closed。
