We left the hotel and walked along the street to Danghe Bridge. A river and clear water reflect the Qionglou on both sides of the strait, and the sky is full of clouds and clouds. Against the clear evening and autumn, it is like a gorgeous oil painting. My friend was attracted by this charming scenery and couldn't help reciting Li Bai's poem: "The river is picturesque, and the mountains look at the clear sky at night." After listening to it, I changed my chant a little: "In the picturesque ancient city, autumn nights are more charming." My friend said that the change was good, just in line with the current situation. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of Danghe River, we crossed Danghe Bridge and headed for the south building of the bridge.
Not far from the west bank of Danghe River, I pointed to a building and said that this is the location of the "Zhang Zhifu" of the "Beifu Bing Zhang" family. Friends are shocked! "Is this' Zhang Zhimo Pool'?" I said, "Yes!" My friend looked at these buildings for a long time and said with emotion, "The famous' Zhangzhimochi' used to be here, and today it has finally set foot on a treasure!" My friend felt very sorry for "Mo Chi" lying downstairs. He insisted on asking why, so I told him the story of "Zhang Chi".
According to the Dunhuang suicide note "Tujing of Shazhou Dudufu", Zhang Zhi's Mo Chi is located one mile northeast of the county seat (now the site of Dunhuang ancient city). After the field investigation by Li Zhengyu and other Dunhuang experts, it coincides with the historical records. This is the community site of Dunhuang ancient city now. Local residents all say that this is the former site of "Zhangzhimochi", and tell a personal experience: in the early 1990s, when a building was built here to clean up the foundation, an excavator dug up a pool of black mud, revealing a faint ink fragrance. Some people think that this is "Zhangzhi Mochi", so it is suggested to suspend the construction and ask the cultural relics unit to confirm it. Later, due to many factors, high-rise buildings rose from the ground, and "Zhangzhimochi" was pressed downstairs. "What a pity! What a pity! " After listening to my story, my friend showed remorse. He asked me again, "Can you tear down the building and let Mo Chi rebuild the sky?" I said, "Many experts and local cultural figures have this idea, but it is not an easy task. With the settlement of Dunhuang ICIF, I think there is still hope. " The friend nodded with satisfaction: "I hope so, I hope so!" " "
We walked around the building several times. Friends walk slowly and watch carefully. I think his eyes have been staring at the downstairs and the ground, as if observing and looking for hidden "treasures", so pious and devoted. Seeing this scene, I was deeply moved. A foreign calligrapher, who came to Dunhuang all the way, prefers to visit "Zhang Zhimo Pool", which is more affectionate than our locals. This is not only an admiration for Mo Chi, but also a respect for culture, which makes people feel heartfelt admiration!
My friend lingered in front of the "Zhangmozhichi" building, and his expression was so solemn and serious. Leaving "Zhangzhimo Pool", we came to the ruins of Dunhuang ancient city. Facing the yellow piers and broken city walls, we can't help flying to Wan Li and thinking about the Millennium. At that time, this was Dahan County. She witnessed the rise and fall of the Silk Road and explained its historical glory. Dunhuang, as the Silk Road "the metropolis where Huarong Road meets Chengdu", is also a place of cultural prosperity. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhi, a teenager, moved from Guazhou to Dunhuang with his father, studied in Linchi, the hometown of "Beifu Bingzhang" in the northeast of the ancient city, and became a famous generation of grass saints in the country. Mo Chi's eulogy in "Dunhuang Suicide Letter" once described: "In the past, Zhang Zhi was the best expert in seal script. The sage of grass is immortal and famous for a while. Brush the bird, grind the ink and dye the fish. I want to be by the pool, and I want to talk about poetry. " At this time, my friend also remembered this poem. He said cheerfully that this poem vividly recorded the past of Zhang Zhi and Mo Chi, which is really rare. Today, I visited the "Zhangzhimochi" and the ancient city of Dunhuang, which further stimulated my yearning and emotion for Dunhuang. Because there is a story of China's book circle in Mo Chi, a family of "Beifu Bing Zhang" under the Dunhuang ancient city. Fortunately, Suo Jing, Zhang Zhi's nephew, created the ancient city of Moxiang, which made Dunhuang win the reputation of "Hometown of Supporting Suo", which is not only the pride of Dunhuang, but also the glory of China! My friend's words touched me deeply, but I just nodded again and again, and I didn't know what to say at the moment. A friend said that China has Lanting in the south and Mo Chi in the north. The same context and the same ink fragrance are far away and close at hand. Zhang Zhi is the giant arm of China's book circle, with far-reaching influence. Even Wang Xizhi, a book saint in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, admired him for three points, and our younger generation was even more impressed. This time I set foot on the treasure land of "Zhangchi" and gave me a long wish! Looking at his happy face, I was really happy and sorry!
The sun sets and the lights are brightly lit. We bid farewell to the ancient city of Dunhuang and the "Zhangzhimo Pool" in the sunset, and came to the lively Dunhuang night market. We found a quiet teahouse under the the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon sculpture fountain, ordered apricot skin water, roast mutton and minced meat noodles, and chatted while tasting. Our topic is naturally inseparable from "Zhang Chi" and Dunhuang calligraphy. A friend said that just now, on both sides of the gate of the New World Commercial Building, I saw a couplet written by Dunhuang calligrapher Qi: "The vicissitudes of the sandbar are icing on the cake, and the pipa bounces back to keep pace with the times and expand the sky." I feel very good. Dunhuang is a famous historical and cultural city along the Silk Road. We should build cultural Dunhuang, artistic Dunhuang and calligraphy Dunhuang with the help of the east wind of the Belt and Road. It is necessary to restore "Zhang Mo Zhi Chi" and give Dunhuang calligraphy pilgrims a place of spiritual comfort. For example, Shaoxing, Zhejiang is the birthplace of Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, and now it is not only a holy place for China calligraphers to worship, but also a scenic spot for tourism culture. Dunhuang has such a well-known brand as "Zhang Mo Zhi Chi", which cannot be submerged underground for a long time. It should be the phoenix nirvana, shining brilliantly. My friend's words are like a fire, which makes me feel warm and burning.
I am very happy to tell my friends that on the third day of March this year, on the anniversary of the preface to the Lanting Pavilion, our Dunhuang Federation of Literary and Art Circles organized writers' associations and calligraphers' associations to hold the first "Dunhuang Poetry Society and Calligraphy Pen Club" in Yueyaquan Town at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, which spread the Millennium context and continued the poetic style, and achieved ideal results. Starting from next year, it will become a cultural festival, held every year, and strive to become a national brand. My friend raised the apricot skin water cup and said with emotion, "Great, come on! Let's drink to the success of the Dunhuang Poetry Festival on March 3, and the better it is! " I also told my friend our initial idea, to restore the "Zhang Zhimo Pool", to establish the "Zhisuo Memorial Hall" and to build a famous calligraphy city in Dunhuang. My friend feels very good and encourages him to stick to it step by step, step by step, and achieve it year by year. He believes that more and more people will get good grades. At the moment, I feel that the promotion of Dunhuang culture is related to you, me and him, and there is a kind of * * * and power secretly breeding in my heart. ...
A friend said, "All cursive scripts in the world come from Dunhuang, which is the glory of Dunhuang." He encouraged Dunhuang to base itself on its own advantages, launch the brands of "Zhangchi" and "Hometown of Cao Sheng", and form a sense of great Dunhuang cultural circle. Zhang Zhi was born in Guazhou, Linchi in Shazhou, and became famous in Dunhuang. Guazhou in Han Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang County. Guazhou gave him the body and Dunhuang gave him the soul. If he had no brain, there would be no generation of grass saints. Therefore, Zhang Zhi's hometown simply said that Guazhou was a bit biased, and it should be "Dunhuang Guazhou". For example, although Yulin Grottoes, the sister grottoes of Mogao Grottoes, are located in Guazhou, they belong to the category of "Dunhuang Grottoes" and belong to Dunhuang art series. Another example is Tie Wang Man Jinxi, who was born in Yumen and became famous in Daqing. Yumen and Daqing are his hometown. Any place where a person lives and has influence on himself can be his hometown. The plot of such a home is not limited by region. Just as Su Shi's officialdom is ups and downs, erratic and unpredictable. He once said, "My hometown is where I live." . A word from a friend, like a wisp of breeze in Xu Lai, is very inspiring and stirring.
Dunhuang, as the gene bank of China's calligraphy, is not only to restore Zhangchi, but more importantly, to inherit the legacy and let the "hometown of supporting the rope" be succeeded by others. Holding the "pilgrimage to Dunhuang" national calligraphy exhibition in Dunhuang is a good start. We need to borrow a boat to go out to sea, raise our sails and show off our glory again. My friend's heartfelt words from Dunhuang made my heart surge with emotion. ...
The night is deep, the autumn moon is bright, and the breeze is cool. The night market is still brightly lit and lively. I have an appointment with my friend to meet the Dunhuang Poetry Society on March 3rd next year! When I left, my friend gave me Mo Bao, who had already prepared "The cursive script in the world comes out of Dunhuang", and I also gave me a collection of poems "It rains in China".
When I got home, I was very excited and not sleepy at all. I read Sun's score, his collection, his Dunhuang calligraphy, Zhang Zhi and Dunhuang. And Zhang Zhi, as a teacher who let Wang Xizhi give three points, is even more admirable and exciting!
That night, I had a wonderful dream: the Dangshui was reflected in the pool of Zhangzhimo, and tourists came in an endless stream, which became an attractive scenery in Dunhuang. ...
