During the summer vacation, Mi and I, as well as Dadi’s family, decided to visit the beautiful Yunnan.
Going to Zhongxiang was an accident. The son of Dadi's classmate won the gold medal. Dadi wanted to go to his classmate's house to congratulate him, so he decided to drive to Zhongxiang and then take a flight to Wuhan. As soon as we arrived at Zhongxiang, he took us directly to the visitor center of Mingming Mausoleum, dropped us off, and bought us tickets. To be honest, I am very unfamiliar with Zhong Xiang. I only knew that my eldest brother had a classmate who was Zhong Xiang about thirty years ago. The four of us walked into the scenic spot under the scorching sun, and walked into Mochou Village in a daze. There is no doubt that for the first time in a place so close to home, I discovered places like Fenghuang Ancient Town and Wuzhen. Everywhere The houses are all unique, and based on these characteristics, there are different merchants running different businesses everywhere. This small village has everything you need, including hot pot from Chongqing, steamed noodles from Shaanxi...all kinds of food and drink. This kind of place can actually meet the needs of the four of us at the same time. We fell in love with Mochou Village almost at first sight.
While walking, classmate Mi suddenly pointed to a house and said: Yu Xiuhua Studio! Looking up, really, on the lintel, "Yu Xiuhua Studio" is not conspicuous, but it is really there. There was no one in sight, and there was a very beautiful curtain hanging on the door. It had a blue-green background and a highly designed pattern. In short, I fell in love with it at first sight. The only window was also covered by a propaganda poster. Compared with other places, this house looks particularly deserted, with almost no one paying attention to the tourists coming and going.
I suddenly remembered that Yu Xiuhua, the Hubei poetess known as China’s Emily Dickinson, was none other than Zhong Xiang. It turns out that she is very close to me. Yu Xiuhua suffered from cerebral palsy due to convulsion and hypoxia when she was born, resulting in difficulty in moving. He is a farmer, has cerebral palsy, and is poor, but he is related to poetry and has become famous because of poetry. In this shaky world, a shaky woman!
After taking a few photos here, I continued walking forward. Classmate Mi reminded me, why don’t we go in and have a look? So, I returned, walked to the door of the studio, and gently pushed the curtain. Only then did I realize that it was not a light curtain. The door curtain was quite thick and I couldn't push it away. The blue-green thing I saw was not made of fabric, but a painting. It was completely unclear what was inside, but some sounds could still be heard vaguely, as if they were being renovated. What medicine is she selling in her gourd? What are you going to do here? I don't know.
The famous Yu Xiuhua is a controversial figure. Regarding Yu Xiuhua, many people in our Songzi Humanities and Writers Association groups discussed her not long ago. Regarding her poetry, everyone has their own opinions. I don’t know much about poetry, so I dare not make any unreasonable opinions. I know very little about Yu Xiuhua herself, and I don’t agree with some of everyone’s opinions. "Yu Xiuhua lives in her own world, which has nothing to do with circumstances or identity. She is such a pure poet." The themes of Yu Xiuhua's poems are mostly about love, family affection, life perceptions, as well as her disability and the closed village she cannot escape from. Baidu said: The pain and incompleteness of life have become the spiritual source of her creation. A woman, a woman from the countryside, a woman with cerebral palsy, humble but not despicable, able to persist in her dreams, able to persist in writing in difficulties, and set off quite a storm in the poetry world and even society. Her life struck me more than her poetry.
Looking forward to the formal operation of her studio, there is Yu Xiuhua’s studio in Zhongxiang Mochou Village.
Mochou Village is not an ancient village. Although Mochou Village is full of antique buildings and the village is not big, this small village is close to the mountains and water, with green tiles and white walls. The top is antique and full of charm. Mochou Village was originally the hometown of Mochou Nu, a song and dance artist from Chu State who has been passed down through the ages. For thousands of years, Mochou Lake and Mochou Village have been admired and visited by literati of all ages.
After leaving Mochou Village and continuing a short distance, you will reach Mingming Tomb. It turns out that Zhongxiang is endowed with unique cultural tourism resources and holds two world-class business cards: "Hometown of Longevity in the World" and "Mingmingling World Cultural Heritage".
The Mingming Mausoleum took 47 years to be built. It is the joint tomb of Emperor Jiajing’s father, Emperor Gongruixian, Zhu Youqi, and his mother, Empress Cixiaoxian.
Jiajing's father was not an emperor, but was honored as emperor by his son after his death. Therefore, the Ming Ming Mausoleum was transformed from a royal tomb. It is the only Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum in the six provinces of central and southern China. It covers an area of ??183.13 hectares and is It is the largest imperial mausoleum among the Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleums; its planning layout and architectural techniques are unique, and it plays a connecting role in the Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum regulations. In particular, the mausoleum structure of "one mausoleum and two tombs" is unique among the imperial mausoleums of the past dynasties.
Twenty-one years ago I visited the Ming Tombs in Beijing. Now I have no deep impression. I only know that the Ming Tombs are the real imperial tombs. Thirteen of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty are buried there, and the tomb of Emperor Jiajing is one of them. The mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing. Unfortunately, I only visited the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum when I was in Nanjing and didn’t know much about the Xiaoling Mausoleum. The Yongling Tomb of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty used exquisite materials and grand regulations. The construction of Yongling cost a lot of money from the treasury. For this reason, Sejong had no choice but to adopt the opinions of his ministers and use the method of collecting large amounts of money to support the mausoleum workers.
Standing at the Mingming Mausoleum at this moment, looking at its majestic momentum, knowing that its construction took a long time, it must have consumed a lot of financial and material resources! Jiajing's filial piety was so touching that the obvious mausoleum is now presented to us. But at that time, it was still Lao Baixing who suffered.
I forgot what the Ming Tombs looked like. I feel that the Ming Tombs are obviously larger than the Ming Tombs. The cultural relics inside are now better protected! As the only imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in central and southern my country, the mausoleum is obviously like a dragon vein winding up and down on the Jianghan Plain. Such a Feng Shui pattern is amazing! Entering from Waimingtang, there are various strange beasts and civil servants and generals on both sides of the Shinto. It is said that Mingming Mausoleum was burned by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, and was destroyed by Japanese invaders during the Anti-Japanese War. The buildings on the ground were severely damaged, and the stone road in the middle was full of pits and unevenness, filled with the vicissitudes of history. The Xianling Mausoleum presented in front of me is real. It has not been overly repaired. The ruins are desolate and still have the glory and wealth of the past. The two connected tombs are lush and covered with century-old trees. There are not many tourists in Xianling Mausoleum, it is very quiet! People surnamed Zhu can visit for free with their ID cards, haha. Away from the hustle and bustle, Xianling Mausoleum is particularly quiet, and history and culture are contained in it. I immediately sent a WeChat message and recommended that my husband take the time to visit Xianming Mausoleum one day and touch history up close.
On the highway from Zhongxiang to Wuhan, my eldest brother told us that a dozen children from a small Zhongxiang were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the college entrance examination this year! The child of Dadi's classmate scored 658 points in the college entrance examination this year. Parents and children are obviously not satisfied because the child is the seed player for Qingbei. Why are there so many children who are good at reading in a small county-level city? Why do famous poets appear in the poetry world? I think it may be inseparable from the rich cultural heritage of this place. Just like in Gong'an County, which is adjacent to Songzi, children are also proud of their studies and have achieved some impressive results in the college entrance examination in the past few years. The firefly in the bag reflects the snow, and the three elements of the public security system are exactly the foundation of the public security system.
On the way back from Yunnan, by chance, we stayed in Qianjiang for a few hours, and we were sent to the Cao Yu Memorial Hall by my brother. I visited the memorial hall alone, getting to know and looking up to Mr. Cao Yu. , my heart is full of admiration for Mr. My husband’s ancestral home is Qianjiang, but he has never been to Qianjiang. He was just buried in Qianjiang after his death. It can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to his roots! My husband once wrote this when he was ill: For many years, I felt like a person without a hometown. I have traveled to many places, but there is no place where I feel that this is my hometown, the country of my parents. I am like a bird flying from south to north, surrounded by mountains and rivers, high mountains and plains... People ask me: "Where do you live?" I answer: "Qianjiang". The people of Qianjiang welcomed Mr. Cao Yu's return to his hometown with the highest standards of etiquette. A park in Qianjiang was named after Mr. Cao Yu, and a memorial hall was specially built for free for people to visit.
The people of Qianjiang are impressive in their ambition and open-mindedness. The cultural heritage should be the business card of a city and the pride of a city. We are also a county-level city, and several neighbors have set an example for us.
In ancient and beautiful Lijiang, the former residence of Fang Guoyu, a cultural celebrity of the Naxi ethnic group, is well-preserved and is free for people to visit. The second floor of the former residence is actually a cave full of desks, where many children are practicing calligraphy. The tourists coming and going did not affect them at all. They were very focused, serious, and had profound calligraphy skills. Compared with my students who practice calligraphy every day, they are obviously not on the same level.
The edification and inheritance of culture, active request and passive acceptance should be the most fundamental reasons.
When visiting the Mufu of the Naxi Prince, tourists will find that the Wanjuan Tower is the most special. The Wanjuan Tower is taller than other buildings. On the couplet of Wanjuan Tower are the words "The sky rains and the fragrance flows", and these words are also written on an archway next to Mufu in Lijiang. Many people understand these words separately, but no one understands them together. It turns out that "the sky is raining and the fragrance is flowing" is the homophonic pronunciation of "Go and study" in the Naxi language. These four words exactly reflect the spiritual wisdom of the Naxi nation that values ??knowledge. King Naxi also advocated reading and hoped that his descendants would first become readers.
I really hope that my hometown, Songzi, can dig more and accumulate more, so that the cultural heritage of this city will be richer and the city will have more cultural heritage. I really hope that the children in Songzi, like the children in neighboring counties and Lijiang, advocate reading and respect culture, and "the rain in the sky will bring fragrance". This is our hope.
