1. Poems praising Huizhou in Hui rhyme
"Visiting Huangshan Baiyue to No Fruit" is a poem written by Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty.
Preface: Wu Xu took pity on him and persuaded him to visit Huangshan and Baiyue, but to no avail.
If you want to know the gold and silver qi, you usually travel from yellow and white.
I have never dreamed of going to Huizhou.
Notes:
①Weijue: down and out, poor.
②Huangbai: Huangshan and Baiyue Mountains in Huizhou. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, Huizhou's business flourished and its merchants were the richest in the world.
The preface to the poem explains Tang Xianzu's career status at that time: those who are inexhaustible are down and out and poor. So why did his friends suggest him to go to Huizhou when he was in poverty. That is definitely not the current leisure experience tour. If your stomach is not full, there is no need to take a break. He just hopes to go to Huizhou to seek a comeback opportunity, and this opportunity should still be pinned on Xu Guo.
In the 19th year of Wanli (1591), Xu Guo retired to his hometown in She County, Huizhou. Just look at the eight-legged archway of Xu State that still stands in the ancient city of Shexian County, and you will know the status of Xu State in the imperial court. Although retired, Xu Guo was both the emperor's teacher and an important minister. As long as he was willing to recommend him, Tang Xianzu's life would change.
Therefore, Tang Xianzu’s friend Wu Xu should have advised Tang Xianzu to go to Huizhou to meet Xu Guo in order to eliminate the gap and rebuild the relationship between teachers and students. As long as Xu Guo was willing to say a word to the emperor, his predicament could be changed. . The poem "Huangbai" clearly refers to Huangshan and Baiyue (Qiyun Mountain), and it is a metaphor for gold and silver, that is, official salary.
No matter what the reason was for the failure of the Huangbai Tour, it cannot be inferred that Tang Xianzu meant praise for Huizhou.
In fact, at the beginning of the poem, Huizhou is described as a place full of the smell of copper: if you want to get rich, you will probably go to Huizhou among the white mountains of Huangshan Mountain. This may be in line with the social reality at that time, because during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants were famous all over the world and were as wealthy as the country. Naturally, Huizhou was regarded as a land of gold that the common people envied.
But this has nothing to do with the beauty of the scenery, and what does it have to do with the down-and-out playwright? At that time, Tang Xianzu was advised to go to Huizhou, either to seek help from others, or to seek immortality and Taoism. The person was Xu Guo, and the immortal Taoist was Qiyun Mountain. The most practical way was to seek help from others, so it had nothing to do with the scenery. Therefore, if this poem is understood as the author's praise of Huizhou's scenery, it would be completely wrong.
It should express the author's mentality of not bowing his head to ask for help: It is said that wealth lies in Huizhou, but unfortunately I have never thought of going to Huizhou in my life.
If "the most infatuated place in life" is changed to "the most painful place in life", the meaning may be clearer. This is not something I changed. It can be seen in the signed article "Jiang Zehan, the Master of Mathematics" on the Peking University Alumni Network. The original text is "The great dramatist Tang Xianzu left a poem "The most painful place in my life, I never dreamed of going to Huizhou" because of his longing for Huizhou." < /p>
This "pain" seems to come from having never dreamed of Huizhou. Little did he know that Tang Xianzu's pain for the rest of his life came from Huizhou. If he really wanted to go to Huizhou, he would probably imitate the last two sentences of the Southern Dynasties folk song "Xizhou Song": "The south wind knows my wishes and blows my dreams to Xizhou." It's not that Huizhou is not beautiful, but that his ancestors were born at the wrong time.
However, it turns out that Wuyuan under Huizhou rule was finally placed under the name of Mr. Tang’s hometown of Jiangxi, which may be regarded as compensation for the misunderstanding.
Extended information:
"A Visit to the White Mountains of Huangshan Mountain Has No Results", the "White Mountains" in the title of the poem refers to Qiyun Mountain in Xiuning. Qiyun Mountain, together with Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Heming Mountain in Sichuan, and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, is also known as one of the "Four Famous Mountains for Religion in China", and together with Huangshan Mountain, it is also known as "Huangshan Baiyue". In Tang Xianzu's poems, "Huangshan Baiyue" was shortened to "Huangbai". The four sentences in the whole poem actually write "cause and effect". That is, the first two sentences write the reason, and the last two sentences write the result.
The main theme of the whole poem is the front, not the last two sentences that will be valued by later generations. From the perspective of the poet's experience and character, this poem neither praises the beauty of the "yellow and white" scenery, nor expresses his yearning to go to Huizhou, but expresses a lifetime of emotion. When the poet wrote this poem, he was in poverty. His friends invited and advised him many times, hoping that he would go to Huizhou to seek opportunities for prosperity, but they never happened.
The word "yellow and white" in the poem clearly refers to Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain, which is a metaphor for gold and silver, that is, official salary. Regardless of the reason for its failure, it cannot be inferred that Tang Xianzu meant praise to Huizhou. In fact, at the beginning of the poem, Huizhou is described as a place full of copper odor: if you want to get rich, you will probably go to Huizhou between Huangshan and Baiyue Mountains.
This is in line with the social reality at that time. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants were famous all over the world and were as rich as the country. Naturally, Huizhou was envied by everyone as a place where money flowed. But all this has nothing to do with the beauty of the scenery, nor does it have anything to do with the down-and-out playwright. This poem expresses the poet's unwillingness to bow his head and beg for help: It is said that wealth lies in Huizhou, but it is a pity that I have never thought of going to Huizhou in my life.
< /p>
Already standing at the end of spring
Just because the greenery on the water side is too easy to grow old
There are no begonias stained with rouge
But I saw the luxuriant grass lingering in the setting sun
The lyre song faded away in the cold
Only the gentle wind was left in the silence
The red calyx of the hibiscus did not bloom in the palm of my hand.
The fragrant figure has fallen into the endless water of the river
The bright moon has walked into the tent
The coolness of autumn has grown in my heart
Deep in the wall, the warm sun has faded and only the autumn mood is visible
The beautiful woman sits alone in silence but hears the cold stings
The wax torch has finished burning the red Luo Yi
Unconsciously The leak is deep at night
The graceful shadow in front of the small window
Vaguely like a person in a dream
But it cannot stop the cold wind
Alone and alone, the beauty is cold
Last night it snowed more deeply
The cold stone path made my heart ache 3. Who was Xie Fuxun in the late Ming Dynasty

Sogou Encyclopedia - Ancestral Hall 4. Essay about the mood of an ancient Chinese village
A trip to Hongcun in the rain, "Huizhou Women" performed by the famous Huangmei Opera actress Han Zaifen is in full swing at the Chang'an Grand Theater As the Huizhou woman's fruitless life unfolds, the audience's eyes are filled with tears.
As for me, I was lucky enough to visit the hometown of Huizhou women in the continuous autumn rain - Hongcun at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, and completed a mysterious appointment with the Huizhou women. Holding a pink umbrella, I walked into this small village surrounded by mountains and rivers among the tourists who were sparse due to the rain.
When I wandered on the shore of Nanhu Lake, the pond in front of the village, my heart was suddenly hit by the scenery in front of me, and my eyes couldn't help but become misty: This clear pond was covered with water. Are the remnant lotuses crackling in the autumn rain, the rows of white walls and black tiles on the other side of the pond, and the deep courtyards and winding alleys hidden within them real? Either it was splashed with ink or painted by the painting masters of the past dynasties, or it appeared in my dreams. In an instant, my soul seemed to travel through time and space, and 860 years of history suddenly became nothing. Having been born in the north since I was a child, I am used to seeing the splendor of large houses and large courtyards, but now I am trembling with the gracefulness of the stacked courtyards, small bridges and flowing water in front of me.
I walked as lightly as possible in the narrow and winding alleys paved with bluestones, as if I was afraid of waking up a ghost that had been sleeping for centuries. Artificial water barriers winding through halls and houses, with nine twists and turns, accompany every alley. The sound of gurgling water is like the delicate footsteps of Huizhou women and the intermittent lamentations of sorrow.
The towering gables on both sides reach straight into the sky. The walls are already smelling of mold and decay from the passing years. When you touch them, a refreshing coolness soaks into your fingers. The plaster on the wall is peeling off, like the face of an actor who has not finished taking off his makeup.
As the saying goes, “The king has a palace, and the people have a hall.
"Sanli Hall, Lexian Hall, Jushan Hall, Jingxiu Hall, Chengzhi Hall, Taoyuanju... Looking at the houses one by one, you can also appreciate the architectural features of the mansions of Huizhou merchants in southern Anhui and the cultural heritage of both Confucianism and business.
In the hierarchical Ming and Qing Dynasties, although merchants had wealth, their social status was not high. This was reflected in their buildings, which did not seek to be grand, but strived for excellence and high walls. The small windows and narrow doors reveal subtlety and restraint.
But once you enter, you will see a different scene: carved beams, magnificent and extremely luxurious sculptures (wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings). ) As long as art exists, every door, every window, every beam, and every bed is a beautiful work of art.
"Happiness comes from hard work and comes cheaply." Couplets such as "Suffering losses will come", "The two-character motto is to be diligent but frugal, the two right paths are plowing and reading", "Sit quietly and think about your own mistakes, and don't talk about others' faults in small talk", etc., which express the Huizhou merchants' unyielding wisdom and wisdom in life. They have achieved victory in the difficult road of business, but deep down in their hearts, they can never get rid of the ideal of farming and studying and the loneliness of being marginalized. This contradictory mentality constitutes the culture of Huizhou merchants. A unique core.
The light poured down from the tiles around the patio, turning into a halo, and the sound of ticking was heard, making this century-old house even more profound. Look, the attic on the second floor was the lady's embroidery room back then.
I couldn't see the inside of it in the dim light. I could only blur into a looming atmosphere in the mottled shadows, telling my heart full of thoughts. A story that once happened here. What kind of story was it? Maybe it was a young girl hiding behind the fine wooden fence upstairs, looking down shyly from the "watching hole" specially designed by the architect. Looking at it, choosing the perfect husband, longing for the happiness that is so close at hand.
But life is always so helpless, the days of fun are fleeting, and the carefully selected husband is far away. Traveling thousands of miles away, leaving only the beautiful woman leaning against the door and looking far away, looking forward to returning.
Watching the magpies in the morning and the lanterns in the night, the blue silk in the morning and the snow in the evening. The "Beauty Lean" that frequently appears in Huizhou architecture for women to lean on the railings and gaze at the waves is a place where her loneliness is stored day after day; the clear spring water with nine twists and turns is where she can't flow.
I can’t help but ask: “That weak woman, how many tears can you have in your eyes, how can you prevent them from flowing from autumn to winter, and from spring to summer? "But the women who married Huizhou merchants were doomed to such a fate. Although they lived in luxurious houses, they were alone; although they enjoyed all the splendor, they could hardly find pleasures in fish and water; the clear lamp shone on the wall and the cold rain knocked on the window, As time goes by, beauty gradually fades... There is a local proverb: "It takes three and a half years for a couple to live together." The days of little gathering and frequent separation have turned each living life into a series of cold chastity arches, which still stand in the open space today. In the fields, even a hundred years of wind and frost can't blow away the ghostly spirit.
Hongcun has two unique features: first, the unique and lively artificial water system network is drawn from the mountains. Artificial water fountains with clear springs twist and turn through every alley and every courtyard; there is Nanhu Lake in the south of the village, and there is a moon marsh in the village, which can be used for washing and watering the fields; the water is really gurgling, the clear canals go around the houses, and the geese dance red The ducks are playing in the clear waves; the black tiles and white walls are reflected in the pond, and the smoke from cooking is floating in the air; it is like a splash-ink landscape painting, giving off an ethereal atmosphere of tranquility, tranquility and leisure, which is the first of its kind in an ecological village.
Secondly, this place is located in the Wannan Mountains on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is located in a remote area. Although it has beautiful mountains and clear waters, it is unknown to ordinary people. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the villagers have continued to make a living by woodworking, farming and reading. As "people's homes in the Peach Blossom Spring", these ancient villages have been completely preserved to this day, and people still live in them. This is really a miracle in China, which has been at war for hundreds of years.
The tour guide repeatedly pointed out. Under the urging, I turned back one step and said goodbye to this beautiful village, and had to say goodbye to the mysterious Huizhou woman. At the canteen at the entrance of the village, some tourists and villagers gathered in front of the window, looking inwardly at something.
I also stepped forward to watch. Oh, it turned out that the nine newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 16th National Congress were meeting with reporters. I couldn't help but smile. After all, we are well-informed. In the 21st century, Hongcun is no longer the paradise that "I don't know about the Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties"
Then, today's Huizhou women should no longer shed tears in the wind and look at the moon. A sad and resentful woman? I hope so. 5. Why is there a saying that "I was born in Huizhou if I didn't cultivate in my previous life"?
To the ancients, Huizhou was a poor place.
< p> There is a proverb in Huizhou: If you were born in Huizhou without cultivation, you will be thrown away when you are thirteen or fourteen years old. This is a true portrayal of the fact that there are many mountains and few fields, so Huizhou people cannot support their children and grandchildren. , he would go out as an apprentice at the age of 4, and he would not be able to return home if he failed to learn. This is the origin of the famous "Hui merchants" in ancient times. Therefore, Mr. Hu Shizhi, a Huizhou native, said, "There is no town without Huizhou."Because they left home at a young age, Huizhou merchants valued profits over separation. They were looking for flowers while they were away from home, but they had a wife at home who was struggling.
There is a local saying that "a husband and wife last three and a half years", which means that a Huizhou wife will only be together for three and a half years in total. This saying has been verified many times by good people, and it has been proven to be true. What about three and a half years away? Women in Zhengzhou can only stay alone in their empty houses and dare not step out of the way, because they have a heavy hat on their heads that makes them breathless. This is the "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" that takes Confucius' Confucianism to its extreme. 6. Who was Xie Fuxun in the late Ming Dynasty?

Baidu Encyclopedia-Grand Ancestral Hall. 7. An essay introducing the charming Huizhou
After reading a thick book "Jiangnan Town", I stood up and recalled Yu Qiuyu's wonderful pen and ink while looking out the window, where it was drizzling.
Pictures of typical Jiangnan towns can’t help but appear in front of you: mist and rain shroud the delicate small bridge, and the water flows under the bridge; the distant figure under the oil-paper umbrella, and the rows of different shades of trees under the dripping eaves. Xiaokeng, the air is filled with a distant and peaceful cultural atmosphere. My hometown is Huizhou, an ancient town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, famous for its Huizhou merchants.
Antique Huizhou is already a world cultural heritage. Its white walls, black tiles, bluestone slabs, and simple lines outline the simplicity and purity of the ancient town. The small town in Jiangnan has its own unique peace and tranquility, which cannot be found in the hustle and bustle.
The footsteps of tourists always disrupt it unintentionally. To appreciate and taste the real Huizhou, you can only appreciate it when there are few tourists. Let us first feel this ancient Huizhou with our ears and listen carefully.
The biggest noise is of course the sound of running water hitting both sides of the bank, making a never-ending dance music. Water is the characteristic of Jiangnan small towns. Without water, it loses its essence.
There are water networks in Huizhou towns, and the water connects the spirit of Huizhou. Behind the sound of water, you may also hear the rhythmic rustling of looms and the crackling of firewood in the courtyard. The most interesting and attractive sound is the "dang-dang" sound of cotton being played. The craftsman expertly adds musical charm to this monotonous task.
The cotton wool is flying in the air, as if dancing to the bright rhythm. Let us open our eyes again and use our most appreciative organ to appreciate the customs of Huizhou.
Walking on a path less than 5 meters wide paved with bluestone slabs, with high lime walls on both sides, the thumping sound under your feet is constantly being reflected and refracted, making people want to use both hands. Feet make music. The charm of ancient buildings is unforgettable. The small building built by Huizhou merchants who spent huge sums of money in the early years has interconnected rooms, facing halls, carved windows and painted buildings. People can't help but admire the architectural model created by our ancestors.
The ancient town of Huizhou in the rain has a unique flavor. The town is another poetic scene. The moisture of the rain adds a bit of vitality to the ancient town. The raindrops fell gently on the century-old house, gently beating the green tiles. After the white walls were wetted by the rain, one part was gray and the other was white, with a harmonious transition in between. Each wall seemed to have become a freehand painting. style splash-ink landscape painting.
The rainwater flows downwards along the tiles and falls into the small holes that have been formed on the bluestone slab. The water splashes splash in all directions. If you freeze the picture, the splashes will look like a hat. Crystal clear, crystal crown studded with diamonds. The splashing water droplets fell on the surrounding soaked stone slabs, causing smaller splashes.
I like living in a small town and enjoying every minute of the ancient town. The ancient town always gives me a feeling that only small town residents can have, quiet and remote.
