Du Fu 杜甫 composed a poem entitled “An Official Pavilion at Xiangji Temple in Fucheng District.” Up until the Tang dynasty, Fucheng District 涪城縣 belonged to Mian Prefecture 綿州, Jiannan Circuit 劍南道, but became a part of Zi Prefecture 梓州 in 778. Qi District 郪縣, where the government of Zi Prefecture was located, is today known as Santai County 三台縣 in Sichuan四川 Province. The official pavilion referred to in the poem was located on the slope of Yunfeng Mountain 雲峰山, south-west of Fucheng dyke 涪城壩 in the Anning district 安寧區of Liuying town, Santai County. It was situated at about 31°15'35.73' N, 104°56'55.06' E, at an elevation of about 461m. Yunfeng Mountain is referred to as Xiangji Mountain in ancient documents. Historical commentaries on poetry for the most part only ponder the meaning of poems, and the famous commentators of this poem were no exception. The “Rock Inscription at the Official Pavilion” dating from the Song dynasty was discovered by the Santai County government in 1993. I went there in September 2006 to study the site, checking its location with GPS and taking pictures with a digital camera. I consulted Google Earth Pro’s satellite map database, and in combination with an examination of ancient geographical records, I asserted that it is indeed the spot that was the subject of Du Fu’s composition. I subsequently made a new interpretation of the poem, correcting the traditional commentaries based on the conditions at the site. |
