Chapter 851
《"Shui Jing Zhu" is the first comprehensive and systematic comprehensive geographical work in Chinese history.
It has important reference value for studying ancient history and geography.
《"Shui Jing Zhu" has a total of forty volumes and more than 300,000 words. It was an unprecedented geography masterpiece at that time.
It is nominally an annotation of the"Shui Jing", but is actually a re-creation based on the"Shui Jing".
This book not only created the history of ancient"realistic geography", but also occupied an important position in the history of the development of world geography."Shui Jing Zhu" gradually formed a discipline in the continuous research of later generations of scholars - Li study.
Before the Qin Dynasty, there were many geography books, but at that time the country was not unified, the productivity level was underdeveloped, and people's concept of geography was still relatively vague. A common problem in these works was fiction, such as"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and"The Biography of Emperor Mu".""Yu Gong" and so on.
Li Daoyuan firmly opposed"fictional geography". He put forward his own research and working methods in the preface of"Shui Jing Zhu", which was to attach importance to field investigation.
Therefore, the book"Shui Jing Zhu" records a large number of achievements made by Li Daoyuan during field investigations. In order to obtain real geographical information, he visited many places for inspections, and traveled all over the Central Plains south of the Great Wall and east of the Qinling Mountains. , accumulated a large amount of practical experience and geographical information.
When compiling"Shui Jing Zhu", Li Daoyuan cited as many as 480 historical documents and materials, including 109 geographical ones, as well as materials obtained by Li Daoyuan's personal inspections, and many from the Han and Wei dynasties. inscription materials.
This is extremely valuable information for studying the history of civilization development.
It uses watercourses as the outline, describes the geographical overview of various places in detail, and creates a new form of ancient comprehensive geographical works.
《"Shui Jing Zhu" covers a very wide range. Geographically speaking, although Li Daoyuan lived during the period of confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he did not limit his vision to the corner ruled by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Instead, he grasped the natural phenomenon of rivers and waterways and made detailed records of the geographical conditions of the country.
Not only that, the book also talks about some foreign rivers, which shows that the author also pays attention to foreign geography.
In terms of content, the book not only details the hydrological conditions of each river, but also describes other natural phenomena in each river basin such as geology, landforms, soil, climate, products and folk customs, the rise and fall of cities, historical monuments, and myths. Legends, etc. are combined into a comprehensive description.

Bai Qi did not hand over the body of King Li to Li Daoyuan.
Because they had already buried the king of Li State.
After all, the king of Li State was also a king of his generation. Although he died, they did not insult him.
Instead, he chose a place to rest in peace.
And a stone monument was erected.
It can be regarded as giving dignity to the king of Li State.
If Li Daoyuan really wanted the body of King Li, they could satisfy it, but they would need to dig out his body.
Then there will be a grand burial.
It doesn't matter to them, as long as Li Daoyuan agrees.
After Li Daoyuan heard about it, he fell silent immediately, then asked for the address, then turned and left.
Li Daoyuan traveled through mountains and rivers and came to the burial place of the king of Li State.
The king of Li State died at the foot of Mount Li, so he was buried near Mount Li.
There is a person with great supernatural powers on Lishan Mountain - Old Mother Lishan.
But he rarely goes down the mountain.
Moreover, without his permission, others cannot find his place.
Li Daoyuan looked at the tombstone in front of him. Although it was not of imperial standard, it could be seen that the soldiers of the Yun Kingdom had worked hard and specially repaired it.
There aren't any weeds around.
In other places, many grave mounds were raised, and some wordless tablets were erected in front of them.
The general-level characters are better, and they have names.
For others, it is difficult to know their names.
Li Daoyuan didn't even want to clean up the weeds.
The inscription is engraved with the name of the king of Li State, the tomb of Zhou Wen, the king of Li State.
Founded in the fifth year of Yuanping.
The year name adopted is exactly that of Yun State.
Li Daoyuan knelt in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times.
"Your Majesty, I have come to see you. Thank you for your support." Li Daoyuan sat on the ground, as if chatting with him about home affairs.
"Your Majesty, please wait for a moment, Wei Chen, I will go to the market to buy some wine and meat, so that Wei Chen can give you a ride." Li Daoyuan seemed to have thought of something and stood up from the ground.
Then, Li Daoyuan went to the market.
Not long after, Li Daoyuan came slowly from the foot of the mountain with a food box in one hand and a bottle of good wine in the other. The food box was filled with local delicacies from Lishan.
There were drunken shrimps and meat dumplings. Steamed buns, beggar's chicken made by players, etc.
Li Daoyuan placed these foods in front of the tombstone as if they were tributes. He also lit a stick of incense.
Then, he poured two bowls of wine and poured one bowl on the ground. , drink a bowl by yourself
"Your Majesty, don’t blame Wei Chen. Wei Chen plans to join the Yun Kingdom and fulfill Wei Chen’s dream. King Yun is a tolerant king. Wei Chen also wants to use the power of the Yun Kingdom to travel across the great rivers and mountains of the Yanhuang Continent and complete the dream."Shui Jing Zhu", I also hope that the king's spirit in heaven can protect the ministers."
Li Daoyuan said a lot.
He seemed to be pouring out all his thoughts.
