Since the Ming Dynasty, when the inscribed "King Yu Stele" was discovered in Yuelu Mountain, the reputation of the "King Yu Stele" has spread throughout the world.
However, it needs to be explained that no one can prove whether this inscribed "King Yu Monument" really comes from the long-destroyed mother stone of the "King Yu Monument" on the Chongqing Peak of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue.
After all, the original handwriting on the mother stone of Mount Hengshan, Guangfeng Peak, has long since disappeared, and it belongs to the category of "Death without Corroboration".
Regardless of whether it is true or false, the "Monument of King Yu" engraved by He Zhi on Yuelu Mountain still has extremely high historical value.
After all, it can be determined from the two vaguely discernible ancient carvings on the right side of the "Yuwang Monument" rock.
This engraving is indeed from the Jiading period of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It has been around eight or nine hundred years and is indeed a precious historic site.
In addition, many celebrities and literati in the Ming Dynasty highly praised the "Yuwang Monument" by writing poems, commenting on it, or interpreting it.
Therefore, generally speaking, the "Monument of King Yu" on Yuelu Mountain is still famous in China since its discovery in the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, Yang Shen, a scholar from the Ming Dynasty, worked hard to interpret and read the inscriptions.
"Emperor Cheng said: "I will assist Zuo Qing with my wings, and I will guide all the continents and climb to the gate of birds and beasts. Participate in the torrent, and you will be prosperous."
"After traveling for a long time and forgetting about home, I stayed at the foothills of Yue. My wisdom was broken, my heart wasted, and I went to seek peace. I was in Taiheng and Huayue. I was busy with my family and affairs. I was tired of my work. I was depressed and fainted. I moved to Nandu and prospered. Clothing system
Food preparation will bring peace to all nations. Dance and run forever!"
During the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Yang Shen, there were also Shen Yi, Yang Shiqiao, Lang Ying, etc. who also annotated or interpreted the "Stele of King Yu".
However, he is not as famous as Yang Shen.
Yang Shen's interpretation, translated into vernacular, is: "The edict of Emperor Shun of Yushun is carried by heaven: 'Yu, you are my assistant and good minister, like my wings. The task of controlling the world's floods is entrusted to you, no matter how high the mountain is or how far the road is.
The water is deep, fight the flood wholeheartedly, and set off early tomorrow to embark on a new journey.
After running around for many years, I forgot my own home and camped in Guangting at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. I used my wisdom to analyze the shape of mountains and rivers, plan water control patrols, and haggard body to control floods. My heart is always sincerely serving
People rushed to calm the water and soil, traveling all over Huayue, Taishan and Nanheng, and dredging and converging rivers one after another;
The hard work was guided by the gods, and moved to other places in the smog. The rivers in the south were flowing smoothly, and people had enough food and self-woven clothes. Tens of thousands of ethnic tribes were in peace from now on; that harming people
The ferocious beast, the dragon, fled far away.'"
In addition, Ming Chongzhen Jinshi, Hengzhou Magistrate Shi Gongyin, etc. also imitated the ancients and wrote poems for the "Monument of King Yu".
However, since the Ming Dynasty, many literati and poets have commented on the "Monument of King Yu" on Yuelu Mountain.
However, because everyone believed that the "Monument of King Yu" was a heavenly book, the annotations and interpretations of these people were considered to be mostly attachments and were not regarded as truly deciphering the "Stele of King Yu".
However, Yang Shen's interpretation of the "Monument of King Yu" has been recognized by many people. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as indispensable.
Of course, many people believe that Yang Shen's interpretation is not accurate and even made many common sense errors.
In short, Yang Shen’s interpretation is still quite controversial. Some people praise it, while others criticize it!
In the Qing Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty, Du Yi and others also interpreted the "King Yu Monument" on Yuelu Mountain, but they were basically not recognized by the academic circles at that time.
It is said that in modern times, Mr. Guo, a famous archaeologist and oracle bone inscription expert, studied the rubbings of the "Monument of King Yu" for three years and could only recognize three characters.
Think about it, Mr. Guo is an expert in oracle bone inscriptions and only knows 3 characters in it.
After repeated visits, many people became more convinced that the words on the "Monument of King Yu" must be ancient words before the oracle bone inscriptions.
As a result, everyone increasingly believed that the "Monument of King Yu" was an absolutely authentic book from heaven.
In contemporary times, Liu Zhiyi and others also interpreted the "Monument of King Yu".
But just like in ancient times, the content of these interpretations has not been recognized by the academic community.
Therefore, no matter how many versions of the "Yuwang Stele" there are in the past dynasties, they cannot be considered as truly deciphering the "Yuwang Stele".
Therefore, it can be said with great certainty that the content of the inscription on the "Monument of King Yu" is still a mystery!
In other words, the search for the mother stone of the "King Yu Monument" in Hengshan-Gongji Peak in the past dynasties has also gone through twists and turns!
In history, most of the people who claimed to have seen the mother stone of the "King Yu Monument" were just rumors without any real evidence.
However, in modern times, it is believed that people finally discovered the mother stone of the "Monument of King Yu" on the peak of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue.
And it is said that experts basically agree that this is a stone from more than 4,000 years ago.
However, it is a pity that because it is so old and half of it was damaged when a farmer built a house, it was built into the wall.
Therefore, the legendary inscriptions on the mother stone of the "King Yu Monument" praising Yu the Great's merits in controlling floods have long since disappeared.
In the end, on this damaged mother stone, we could only see a row of words such as "Kangxi Wuxu Year" and some artificial chiseling marks.
This is the mother stone of the "King Yu Monument". Because the current appearance cannot be seen, no one is sure what it is exactly.
But no matter how you look at it, it cannot be what Chen Wenzhe is seeing now.
Obviously, the "Monument of King Yu", which is like a heavenly book, has attracted the attention of countless celebrities, literati and scholars from all dynasties because of its beautiful and bizarre legend.
As everyone painstakingly interpreted it, the "Monument of King Yu" became more and more famous, until it became world-famous.
In the end, between the legend and the carving, the authenticity and the mystery of King Yu's stele gradually turned into a cultural mystery that arouses endless reverie.
And in the end, the "Monument of King Yu" became one of the three treasures of the Chinese nation!
Obviously, the mother stone of the "King Yu Monument" on the Guangjie Peak of Hengshan Mountain, which has been praised by ancient and modern times, and the widely watched "King Yu Monument" carved on Husha Yuelu Mountain have attracted countless famous writers and philologists throughout the ages.
.
Eventually, with the efforts of researchers from past dynasties, studying the "Monument of King Yu" became a cultural phenomenon.
Of course, behind this phenomenon, the "Monument of King Yu" has become one of the most confusing treasures in the history of Chinese civilization!
Obviously, the annotations made by countless literati and poets on the "Monument of King Yu" in history can only be regarded as interpretations or interpretations that have not been approved by the public.
In other words, scholars of all dynasties have not really deciphered and deciphered the "Monument of King Yu".
Therefore, the true content of the "King Yu Monument" in the "Book of Heaven" and this cultural mystery still depend on archaeological experts and others for further excavation and interpretation.
Finally, it needs special emphasis that the inscriptions on the "King Yu Stele" in the Hengshan Mountains of Nanyue, Yuzhou, Chang'an Forest of Steles, Yuling, Yellow Crane Tower, etc. are all based on the name of Husha Yuelu Mountain.
The inscription on the "Monument of King Yu" was used as a model and was obtained by carving it.
