-accidentally recorded during the trip.
The bus went to Changsha, and Dean Shuicheng Tu of the Provincial Public Security College met me at the station. We are fellow villagers, classmates, colleagues and old friends, and the kindness is touching. As soon as we met, he asked me what my plans were. I never even thought about it. I replied, "I want to see Yueyang Tower."
Then, I went to Zhangjiajie. Walking in the beautiful waters of Tian Zi, Jin Bianxi and Huanglong Cave, Yueyang Tower is still in my mind. Since reading Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower", how many times have I outlined the victory of Baling in my imagination. That expectation has been in my heart for forty years.
Changsha is more than 240 miles away from Yueyang, and it's already past eleven in the morning.
Yueyang Tower stands on the riverside wall, with cornices and arches, resplendent and magnificent. It's like a Kunpeng flying in the air. Yueyang Tower was built in the fourth year of Tang Kaiyuan, and its predecessor was the military parade platform of Lu Su, commander-in-chief of Wu State. Since then, Yueyang Tower has been built and destroyed for more than 1000 years. The existing Yueyang Tower was built in the sixth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1867), and was overhauled in 1984, basically maintaining the style of the Song Dynasty. The building has three floors and three eaves, and is made of pure wood structure. The carved window on the first floor is a wall, surrounded by arc railings on the second floor, with panoramic views of lakes and mountains, water and sky, magnificent and refreshing.
Stepping into the lobby on the second floor, the floor is covered with mahogany and the high windows are spacious. The front wall is inlaid with a rosewood wood carving screen, which is more than ten feet wide and nine feet high. The style of the book is unique, the brushwork is vigorous and the words are exquisite. The headmaster told me: this is the original work written by Zhang Zhao, the minister of punishments in Qianlong period. The most unique thing is that the book has three changes: the beginning, the middle line and the end of the text. The whole article has a natural charm and is a precious cultural relic of national treasure, the treasure of Yueyang Tower.
Speaking of the birth of Yueyang Tower, it is really a story in the literary world.
In the spring of A.D. 1044, Teng was appointed as the magistrate of Baling, and raised funds to rebuild Yueyang Tower the following year. Considering that "the view of the building will not last long, unless there are words saying that journalists can't write it, and words can't be written unless they are talented and powerful", he thought of his good friend Fan Zhongyan. In June, he wrote a letter to commemorate, and attached a picture of Dongting in late autumn, and asked Fan Zhongyan to write it down.
Fan Zhongyan (AD 989- 1052)
, a politician, strategist and writer in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty. Wen Xi was born in Wuxian (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). In the eighth year (A.D. 10 15), Zhenzong Dazhong was a scholar, and the official was involved in political affairs (deputy prime minister). Fan Zhongyan set an ambition of "not benefiting the people and not being a lifelong husband" from an early age. The epitaph written by Ouyang Xiu also said: "The public is less important, the rich and the poor ruin their names, have fun, and are indifferent to their hearts, but are interested in the world. I often say to myself,' a scholar should worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world' "
. When he was demoted to Dengzhou (now Nanyang, Henan Province) and fell into the lowest valley of his life, he received Teng's "Gaozhuangji".
This day is 1046 September 14. After dinner, Fan Zhongyan hung the "Dongting Late Autumn Map" high. He wants to read carefully and conceive this article. Autumn wind blows gently, and the moonlight is like water. He was absorbed in this magnificent picture, as if wandering outside things, crossing the Yangtze River, entering the Dongting, boarding the drawing board and seeing his eyes, mind and scenery.
What is he thinking besides wandering around?
Maybe it's the hard work of dividing a bowl of rice porridge into four pieces and two meals when I was a child. Maybe as long as a five-year school? Or is it a humiliating situation of bumpy career and falling again?
I don't think so, because it doesn't conform to his personality, and there is evidence in the book: "don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself", which is his lifelong ethics.
What did he see when he boarded the plane to see him off?
Is it the busyness of the pre-Qin philosophers to save the world and the people by car or donkey? Or is Qu Yuan tragic, singing with the staff and throwing himself into the river? Or was Du Fu's call for the hut to be broken by the autumn wind?
It's possible. Because meeting Siqi is his code of conduct. What I said in my book "I tried to seek the hearts of the ancients" is proof.
Heart and Jing Hui, what could he have heard?
Is it Confucius' consistent belief that "a gentleman cares about Tao but not poverty"? Or Mencius' unswerving thought of "born in sorrow and died in happiness"? Or is it Qu Yuan's pursuit of "mourning the sufferings of people's livelihood" and never giving up until death? Or did Du Fu swear that he was "worried about Li Yuan in poor years" but begged for "a vast building", "making every effort to protect the poor people in the world" and "freezing to death is enough"?
It must be like this. Because the "benevolent" feeling of helping the world has always been his ideal in life. Isn't it clear in the book that he is trying to pursue the noble behavior of "being different from the two"?
However, it is more likely that he may have seen nothing, thought nothing and heard nothing. At the moment, in his mind, there are only two words: sadness and joy. The belief in blood has been buried for a long time, and the mind is deepening day by day. But as soon as he saw him, he leaned slightly, flicked his pen and wrote a book at his desk. Colorful chapters flowed at the end of his pen and jumped onto the paper.
Staring at the carved screen with the focus on colored plastic gold, I seem to hear my own heartbeat, a kind of respect and a kind of passion beating in my chest.
Yueyang Tower has only 368 words. Firstly, it introduces the background and grand occasion of rebuilding Yueyang Tower, and explains the reasons for making Yueyang Tower. Then, from the grand view of Yueyang Tower to the feeling of seeing things, I painted different scenery of Dongting Lake with strong colors, and wrote different feelings of sadness and joy respectively. Finally, through the comparison with the "benevolent heart of the ancients", we express the mind of "not being happy with things, not being sad for ourselves" and express the political ambition of "worrying about the world first, and being happy after the world". For thousands of years, the story of Yueyang Tower has been told through the ages for its lofty conception, magnificent scenery and true lyricism. The humanistic ideal it expounded almost sublimated into a universal moral norm and became an inexhaustible source of spiritual strength to inspire people with lofty ideals in past dynasties.
It's really different to see Huazhang in a scenic spot. While I was meditating, I suddenly heard a sigh next to me: "Reading Yueyang Tower, everyone is arguing about optimism and worry. In my opinion,' don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself' is more worth discussing. "
This made me bang: "Who is this? Say me! " Looking up, it was the headmaster. I saw his eyes narrowed with laughter and looked at me meaningfully, clearly conveying a question mark.
Yes, "don't rejoice in things, don't grieve for yourself", and the heart belongs only to the whole world. This is the realm of no self, and it is also the premise of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". I suddenly realized:
-"don't be happy with things, don't be sad for yourself": this is a kind of mind that ignores personal success or failure, takes the world as its own responsibility, takes pleasure in helping others and stabilizes society;
-"If you live in a temple, you will worry about your people; Far away in the rivers and lakes, I will worry about my husband ":this is a patriotic feeling, a feeling of saving the world;
-"Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later": This is a sense of urgency that is prepared for danger in times of peace and enjoys it.
Affectionate China literati, for thousands of years, have infiltrated into your marrow the sense of hardship and the feelings of saving the world, which is a clean stream flowing through time and space, while Feng Ling is a wonderful flower that never fades, injecting infinite vitality into the reproduction of the Chinese nation and attaching magnificent life. Originated in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it developed in Tang and Song Dynasties, inspiring generations of people with lofty ideals, striving for the land for heaven, pleading for the people, connecting the past with the future, and creating peace for the world, and writing a long historical scroll that shines in the world's national forest.
Walking out of Yueyang Tower and strolling on cobblestone paths, there is a sense of satisfaction of being baptized. The headmaster on the side was silent and had a strange expression. I also saw some clues, and after repeated questioning, he revealed a detail that I didn't notice.
In the lobby on the first floor of Yueyang Tower, there is also a carved screen of "The Story of Yueyang Tower", which is from the Daoguang period, but it is a fake. It is said that there was a magistrate in Baling, who deliberately instructed his confidant to copy Zhang Zhao's calligraphy for a long time in order to keep the original Zhang Zhao for himself, which actually reached a vivid and confusing level. Then he carefully copied a set of fakes, replaced the real ones, and wanted to ship them overnight and smuggle them back to his hometown. Who knows that heaven has eyes, when the boat reached the antlers, suddenly the storm overturned the boat. The carved screen sank to the bottom of the lake and was discovered by fishermen. The salvaged water was used as a springboard. Wu Min, a famous man, bought it heavily after he found it. Because the words "Song" and "Mutual" on the screen were damaged, he described them carefully and re-carved them before they could be passed on. These two traces can still be distinguished today, which has become a method of distinguishing fakes.
This is really disappointing. I was angry, but the headmaster was calm. When asked in time, he smiled faintly: "Don't you just leave this mirror to look at the faces of some contemporary people?"
That's right. In today's flashy and materialistic corner, some shameless ugly people have done or are doing whatever it takes to harm the public, enrich the private, turn the public into private, and stage a series of ugly dramas that embezzle public and private property. Shameless people like baling county magistrate are far from extinct in this world.
My heart suddenly became heavy, stopped and looked at the world in front of me again. This look does reveal some new problems:
-the scenery in front of us is still vast, but the water surface has been greatly reduced, without the mighty momentum of the year; The water is turbid, and the lingering charm of still shadows and clear skies is completely absent.
-Yueyang Tower is under construction everywhere. There is no doubt that people want to beautify their lives with hard work, but a construction site makes the surroundings fall apart, just like the scar on the scorpion's head, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
I can't help but think of many problems that have been tossed for countless times: bureaucracy, corruption, moral alienation, events of vulnerable groups, and even imbalance in proportion, ecological imbalance, air pollution and environmental degradation. ...
Our country still has a long way to go.
The whistle came from the lake. Looking up, the ferry to Junshan Island set sail. The boat drifted away and the rope remained on the shore. The whistle stopped long ago, but the sound echoed in the sky for a long time. This scene suddenly reminds me that in the new historical period, we are faced with the arduous task of implementing Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious society, and our feelings of saving the world and our sense of hardship are still valuable legacies that must be inherited and carried forward in the future. The battle is still not over, and the spirit of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" will never be out of date in the dictionary of * * * producers.
When I bid farewell to Yueyang Tower, the headmaster gave me a folding fan, yellow silk and Mo Bao's, antique and fondle admiringly. This fan was written by Zhang Zhao. Take it away, take away a feeling, an education, leave a concern and a blessing-
Yueyang Tower, together with the snail-like Junshan and the vast Dongting Lake, your tomorrow will be better.
