This businessman named Pu Zaiting is an industrialist in Xuanwei, which belongs to Qujing City, Yunnan Province. He is the father of Deng Xiaoping's wife Zhuo Lin. The food he brought was canned ham. In the next century, Xuanwei ham became famous all over the country, making a small county in southwest China famous all over the world.
Since then, Xuanwei Ham, as a fragrant business card, has opened a door in Qujing, China.
0 1, "lucky" city
Xuanwei ham is a delicious food that Qujing people talk about, but for local people, Xuanwei is not the only toad in the cave. According to legend, the anti-Jin army in the Northern Song Dynasty invented the method of curing ham in order to bring fresh pork from hometown to the front for consumption. Perhaps from that time on, the mark of ham was engraved in the blood of Qujing people.
People love to eat ham, which is available on the table all year round. Ordinary people often do the same. Wash and trim a stout pig hind leg, marinate it repeatedly with salt, and hang it high to dry. When it comes to taking off, cleaning, steaming and clearing soup, the color of ham will not be lost, but the taste will become more and more rich. The sweet taste is unique to the red land.
Every morning, Qujing people know that the bait has come out when they see the misty fog in the street shops. This kind of food made of shredded and steamed bait is Qujing people's favorite breakfast. Pour special soy sauce and meat sauce, sprinkle a pinch of sauerkraut, sprinkle a spoonful of Chili oil, sesame seeds, leeks and garlic paste, and match a bowl of bone soup sprinkled with chopped green onion. This is the taste that every Qujing person misses most after leaving home, surpassing crossing the bridge rice noodles.
There are dozens of wild mushrooms in the mountains in summer, which is also a good taste that Qujing people must eat several times in summer. However, unlike foreigners who use a plate of precious mushrooms to assist a dish, Qujing people's tables can be filled with many different mushrooms. Chicken termites in fresh sweet soup, Dictyophora dictyophora cooked in a steam pot with chicken, dry ash fried with shredded green peppers, and soft and mellow boletus all have their own tastes and unforgettable wonderful feelings.
Not to mention Zhanyi spicy chicken, leek, Fuyuan pickled cabbage, Sejong dictyophora and ant Zhuzi ... Qujing has a lot of delicious food, probably because people here love life very much. If you don't worry about not eating well, you worry about eating too much and not knowing which to eat. This is probably the trouble that people in this small town are willing to immerse themselves in.
Fortunately, it means livable in Yunnan dialect. Qujing people live and eat contentedly in such a good place.
02. The source of the Pearl River
Qujing people love this idle day, not because they don't make progress, but because they don't want to show their abilities; Qujing people don't want to show you the way because their roots are mountains and rivers; The city has been polished by thousands of years of wind and frost, which makes people covet this thick and casual beauty.
Qujing is the second largest city in Yunnan, located in the middle of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. This is a strange name to outsiders, bearing many hidden attributes that make people want to sigh "so that's it."
The source of the Pearl River is located in Maxiong Mountain, which belongs to Wumeng Mountain System. As a watershed between the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, it separates Niulan River, a tributary of the Jinsha River, from Nanpanjiang River and Beipanjiang River, tributaries of the Xijiang River, and is known as "three rivers are a drop of water, and one vein is separated by two plates".
Qujing has become the first city at the source of the Pearl River because of its geographical location. It stands at the source of the Pearl River and is the most beautiful and prosperous scenery in South China.
Qujing City borders Guizhou and Guangxi in the east and Kunming in the southwest, and governs Qilin District, Zhanyi District, Malong District, luliang county, shizong county, Luoping County, Fuyuan County, Huize County and Xuanwei City. Well-known Xuanwei ham and Luoping rape blossoms, as well as Lvliang colored sarin, Fuyuan Coal Mine, Huize Guild Hall and Cao Shan, are all treasures of Qujing.
03. Lock the key in Yungui
Qujing, the key of Yunnan and Guizhou, guards the east gate of Yunnan.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was merged into a road from Sichuan to mountainous South Asia. Silk and lacquerware from Bashu crossed Gaoligong Mountain with the cavalry and exchanged goods with Indian businessmen. With the wind blowing in the Indian Ocean, gems, shells and religions in South Asia were also brought back on horseback. The path where Qujing was located became the most important channel for China to contact with the outside world at that time.
Nearly 200 years later, in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian discovered a strange thing in the Western Regions. "When I lived in summer, I saw Shubu and Zen bamboo sticks, asked where they came from, and said that the southeast (now India) was poisoned." A western country isolated from the Central Plains actually has Sichuan products? Seeing the huge benefits, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to turn this folk commercial road into an imperial territory, so this southwest avenue entered the emperor's field of vision from now on.
Looking back more than a hundred years from the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Qin Shihuang's management of the southwest when he was repairing Wuchi Road had already prepared for the emergence of Qujing at this time. In the second year of Yuanfeng (BC 109), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Bashu soldiers to invade Yunnan, and the king of Yunnan was afraid of the influence of the great empire, so he had to set up a county in the territory, with Zhongwei County in Qujing today.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han turned his attention to the south of China. Zhuge Liang conquered Meng Huo, the general of Dongyi here. The original Yizhou County was renamed Jianning County, and the county was governed by wei county. After that, in just 20 or 30 years, Wei County always won seven counties in Nanzhong and became the political, military, economic and cultural center of Nanzhong. During the period of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, wei county was the capital of Yunnan and the first administrative region directly under the Central Dynasty.
Since then, wei county has opened its prosperity and witnessed the game between the central and local forces for hundreds of years.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, cuan clan, the most popular surname in southern China, was based in Wei County and ruled the southwest corner. Cuan clan, with the titles of secretariat, satrap and viceroy, took advantage of the weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty to establish his own political power here. It has been more than 400 years since the beautiful days of "opening the door to save time and closing the door".
This situation was not broken until the reign of Tang Tianbao. After Nanzhao was destroyed, Wei County witnessed the rapid change of political power in several places more than 100 years later. This treasure land beyond the reach of the Central Plains Dynasty has changed hands several times. In the second year of Tianfu (A.D. 937), Duan Siping joined hands with 37 departments to pacify the chaos and put it into the new Dali Kingdom.
Dali survived for more than 300 years and was destroyed by Kublai Khan. After the implementation of the provincial system in the Yuan Dynasty, Qujing ended the history of constant struggle between dynasties and local governments. Since then, it has been steadily and steadily, and it has come to this day in the arms of a unified empire.
04. Go to the south alone.
Qujing today has lost sight of those turbulent and glorious times. But after thousands of years' distance, Qujing people have not forgotten those histories, and a glimpse in the passage of time has become a cultural symbol here. ?
Zhuge Liang's strategy of "going to Zhu Rong in the west, supporting Yi Yue in the south, resisting Cao Wei in the north to seek the Central Plains" made Nan Zhong in the southwest meet Nanjun Ma, and that passage in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms became a wall sculpture here in Qujing. The bustling crowd passed by here, and this scene of overlapping time and space can not help but make people sigh slightly.
Cuan clan Group, which ruled South China for 500 years, is no longer remembered by Qujing people as a former ruler. That period of history left two authentic works, which are indispensable treasures in the history of calligraphy in China.
A monument carved in 405 AD, the full name of which is "the tombstone of Xian Fujun, the magistrate of Jianning, Wei Zhen in the Jin Dynasty", was the tombstone of Xian Baozi, the magistrate of Jianning at that time. It records the life of this local leader who is "weak in crown and called benevolent". 19 years old took office as the magistrate, just 23 years.
The uniqueness of this stone tablet lies in the ingenious style of carving Gu Zhuo, and it is known as "the treasure of South Monument, the first of its kind". Although the inscription time is only a few decades away from Wang Xizhi, it has solidified time between mountains and rivers. Kang Youwei said that his calligraphy form is "between Li and Kai, showing the origin of variant characters", which is a wonderful work in the history of calligraphy.
Later, the Dragon Monument was also a treasure left by cuan clan. The 900-word inscription engraved the history of the cuan clan family, and the elegant demeanor of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Yunnan quietly flowed in the strokes.
Qujing, after a round of competition between local culture and Central Plains culture, condensed all the clouds at the tip of the needle into its unique temperament. It is vicissitudes without aging, heavy without depression, and it is like that book, full of clever and clever true temperament.
This city living in the south has experienced many ups and downs. Thousands of years of wind and frost make it vicissitudes and make it gentle. It knows that time is the most turbulent and invisible torrent. Now it is just a gentle and elegant town, surrounded by mountains and stories, listening to the sound of time flowing.
