However, few people know that this magical land is connected with two ancient Shanghainese. two
Shanghainese are Shen Lu, a great writer of the Ming Dynasty, and his wife Shi Mei.
According to Shanghai local chronicles, the long-standing Huangpu River turns here.
A 90-degree bend left a prominent alluvial beach. Looking from the west of Pujiang to the other side, this beach
The earth is like a huge Jinjiao beast, sticking out its head and opening its mouth to drink water. On this beach, due to Shen Lu's
Lu's former residence and ancestors were built here, so it is called Lujiazui.
Shen Lu Ziyuan, whose ancestral home is in the capital of song dynasty, moved to Pudong with the song dynasty. He was born in Ming Chenghua 13 (AD 1 year).
In 477), Hongzhi 18 (1505) was admitted to imperial academy, ranking eighth in the second grade. He is knowledgeable, but he has a good temper.
Stubborn. Liu Jin, the great eunuch, was dismissed from office and did not return to imperial academy until Liu Jin was brought to justice.
He once worked in the history of Sichuan Province, and Jia Jing 16 (1537) served as Tai Changqing with a bachelor's degree. After retiring and returning to his hometown, he lived in Pudong.
After the paradise, a hill was built with earth, named Yanshan, so it was named Yanshan. Jiajing died in the twenty-third year, that is, 1544, enjoying
68 years old.
Shen Lu wrote a lot. He is the author of Yanshan Collection, Yanshan Waiji, Wei Feng's Diary, and Shudu Miscellaneous Copy.
His books, such as Gucci Musical Instruments, have the charm of Ming sketches and are highly praised by future generations. His calligraphy skills are deep and floating.
Yi Junxiu has always been appreciated by collectors, and his works are still in Shanghai Museum. Although Shen Lu's former home and paradise
However, it has long since disappeared, but the names of Lujia Village and Lujiazui remain forever.
Mei, his wife, is also a memorable Shanghainese.
In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the biggest disaster in Shanghai was the Japanese pirates. Shanghai was once an undefended city for hundreds of years.
The city wall has never been repaired before, and even the county government has been repaired very simply. During the Jiajing period, the Japanese pirates were unable to attack repeatedly, burning, killing and looting.
Don't do this. In all kinds of helplessness, the people of Shanghai decided to build a city to defend against the Japanese army. In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, Shanghai gentry went to court.
Beg to build a city wall. The court replied: it is ok to build a city, but there is no money. Shanghainese decided to go out, pay and contribute themselves.
Build a wall. The first participant in the discussion, Gu, donated 4,000 meters of stones, and the donations flew in like snowflakes. Among them, Shen Lu's husband donated the most.
Mei's. At this time, Shen Lu had died, and Lujiazui, Pudong, where she lived, was not a place invaded by the Japanese. However, Mei's knowledge is profound.
Righteousness, donated 500 mu of land to build the city, and also donated 2000 taels of silver. When building the gatehouse, there was not enough building materials, so Mei took the initiative to bear it.
Xiaodongmen, one of the six city gates in Shanghai, all the building materials were demolished for this purpose. precisely because
A Shanghainese like Mei, who has a deep understanding of righteousness, started construction in June+10 in 5438 and completed it in February +2 in 65438. Since then, the enemy swoops down, only
I can look at this city and sigh.
People have complained that Shanghai is a city without historical accumulation, saying that Shanghai lacks great sculptures. It can't compare with the calendar.
Beijing and Xi 'an, which have a long history, can't compare with Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, or even Hangzhou, which has broken bridges and dreams.
In fact, according to research, Shanghai has a history of 6000 years. The context of history depends on generations of Shanghainese.
Hereditary. However, in this long history, people will only think of Huang Daopo and Guangxu when they mention ancient Shanghai celebrities.
The rotation of the engine ... Who knows the celebrity and his wife May? From this, I think of Lujiazui on the banks of Pujiang.
How about building a Shanghai historical celebrity corridor on Binjiang Avenue? Who gave Shanghai the name "Shen"
Huang Xie, Soong Ching Ling, the "Mother of the Nation" who speaks pure Shanghainese, Huang Daopo and Xu Guangqi are all listed in this long corridor.
Naturally, there should be a statue with his wife Mei.
