In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), Dengzhou was renamed Deng County; in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), it was directly under the Henan Provincial Government; on November 17, 1988, with the approval of the State Council, Deng County was abolished and Dengzhou City (County) was established. level), is still managed by Nanyang City; in 2004, the Henan Provincial People's Government approved Dengzhou City to enjoy all the economic and social management authority of provincial municipalities and be a separate economic city; in 2011, Dengzhou City was designated as a separate economic city by the Henan Provincial People's Government One of the ten counties and cities directly under the jurisdiction of the province in Henan Province. The main attractions in Dengzhou City include Huazhou Academy, Fusheng Temple Pagoda, Jitan Shaanxi Guild Hall, etc. Huazhou Academy is located on Renmin East Road, Dengzhou City, Henan Province. It was built during the Qingli Period of the Song Dynasty and covers an area of ​​211 acres. Huazhou Academy faces south. The five courtyards and four courtyards on the central axis are the main part of the academy. They are composed of the lecture hall, Chunfeng Hall, library and other buildings. The famous story "Yueyang Tower" was born here. Huazhou Academy is famous for its hundreds of flowers. It is named after the continent. The Qing Dynasty buildings such as Chunfeng Hall, Wanjuan Pavilion, Fan Wenzhenggong Temple and Jingfan Pavilion are well preserved. During the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan knew Dengzhou for three years. During this period, he wrote a large number of poems. According to incomplete statistics, there are 86 poems (pieces) in existence. These poems and essays have become precious historical materials for studying Fan Zhongyan's knowledge of Deng. Among them, the most commendable is "Yueyang Tower" which he wrote at the request of his friend Teng Zijing. Teng Zijing, named Zongliang, was from Luoyang. He and Fan Zhongyan passed the Jinshi examination in the same year, and they shared the same goals throughout their lives. When Fan Zhongyan was supervising the Xixi salt warehouse in Taizhou, Teng Zijing was in charge of Taizhou. He actively supported Fan Zhongyan in building the sea-defending weir project. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Teng Zijing and Fan Zhongyan were officials in the same dynasty. Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the school manager of the secret pavilion, and Teng Zijing was appointed as the chief minister of the palace. They jointly advised Empress Dowager Liu to return power to Song Renzong. In the first year of Jingyou (1034), Fan Zhongyan was demoted from the capital for the second time because he opposed Emperor Renzong from deposing the queen without reason. Teng Zijing, who was Dr. Taichang at the time, wrote a letter to express his dissatisfaction with Fan Zhongyan, and was later allowed to serve as the county magistrate for many years. Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the envoy to appease and recruit the Northwest Huanqing Road and knew Qingzhou. Teng Zijing was also appointed as the magistrate of Jingzhou, Gansu Province. He cooperated closely with Fan Zhongyan in the war against Xixia and became a life-and-death comrade. Fan Zhongyan admired Teng Zijing's courage and talent very much, so when he was transferred from Qingzhou, he recommended Teng Zijing to the court to replace him in Qingzhou. In March of the third year of Qingli (1043), Fan Zhongyan went to Beijing to serve as deputy envoy to the privy council, and in April he was appointed as counselor of political affairs. He presided over the new policy of Qingli, which violated the vested interests of senior officials. In September, conservatives attacked Fan Zhongyan's good friend Teng Zijing, impeaching him for embezzling military expenditures. Fan Zhongyan wrote three times to defend Teng Zijing, and Teng Zijing was spared from prison. He was first demoted to the post of Tianzhang Pavilion, the governor of Guozhou (now Lingbao City, Henan), and then the governor of Yuezhou. Teng Zijing, like Fan Zhongyan, is also a person who cares about the country and the people, regardless of gains and losses. Within a year of taking office, he managed Yuezhou to achieve political success and harmonious people, and all kinds of wastes were prospered. When he saw the Yueyang Tower in dilapidated state, he was deeply moved, so he raised funds and rebuilt the Yueyang Tower in a few months. The newly built Yueyang Tower was very spectacular, and Teng Zijing wanted to write a "note" to describe it. He thought of his friend Fan Zhongyan of the same year, so he wrote a letter on June 15, the fifth year of Qingli, asking Fan Zhongyan to write a note. Teng Zongliang sent a special envoy to Fan Zhongyan, who was working in Pizhou in the northwest, together with "Yu Fan Jinglue Qiu Ji Shu" and "Dongting Autumn Evening Pictures". Because conditions and opportunities were not yet mature, Fan Zhongyan was unable to write the diary he had high hopes for in Pizhou. After Fan Zhongyan came to Dengzhou, he worked diligently on civil affairs, political affairs and litigation. Within a few months, Dengzhou presented a scene of peace and prosperity. I also reunited with my family and had a great time. In this environment and state of mind, when reviewing his life, Fan Zhongyan thought of Teng Zijing's request for memories again. When I read Zijing's letter again, my heart was surging and my thoughts were abounding. So, after 15 months of full contemplation and repeated consideration, on September 15, the sixth year of Qingli, in the Chunfeng Hall of Huazhou Academy, I spread my paper and pen, expressed my feelings freely and vividly, and composed the eternal famous "Yueyang Tower" in one go. There are not many cities named after their surnames. For example, Zhengzhou, Chenzhou, Liuzhou, Dengzhou, Linzhou, etc. are of great commemorative significance. Most of them are cities whose surnames were left for the country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If a country is not great, it will be prosperous if we work together. As Zuo Zongtang said: "Knowing people wisely and being loyal to the country, I feel ashamed to be inferior to Yuan Fu; working together is like gold, attacking mistakes like stones, and we will live up to our expectations throughout our lives." People in Dengzhou are contented and happy beyond words. One person, one culture, one country and one city, this is Dengzhou.
