The original resort competes for importance." There are many debates about the location of Xinghua Village in Du Mu's poem "Qingming", especially in Guichi, Anhui and Fenyang, Shanxi. At present, many scholars agree that Du Mu's " The Xinghua Village mentioned in the poem "Qingming" is in Guichi, or Du Mu wrote the poem "Qingming" in Guichi, and the village is named after the poem. The main arguments are:
1. There are documentary records and historical sites to support it. "Chizhou Prefecture Chronicles", "Guichi County Chronicles", "Xinghua Village Chronicles" since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the provincial local chronicles "Jiangnan General Chronicles" compiled by the Qing Dynasty all have positive descriptions of these ancient local chronicles. , can "make up for the gaps in history and refer to the deficiencies in history". "Chizhou Prefecture Chronicle" in the 20th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1545): "Xinghua Village is in the west of the city (note: refers to Chizhou City). Du Mu's poem "May I ask where the restaurant is." Yes, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance. There used to be Huanggong Liquor Co., but it was later abandoned. The remaining well was enclosed in the people's field, with the words "Huanggong Guangrunquan" engraved on it. The Qing edition of "Xinghua Village Chronicles" also said: "Wuchi Xinghua Village , since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he is a wise governor, loves to travel, and is good at singing songs. What I see in the rain is recorded, and there are pedestrians taking the road, pointing to the village in the distance, asking for help on the hanging curtain...". The "Guichi County Chronicle" in the ninth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty also included a poem by Cao Tianyou of the Song Dynasty on his visit to Guichi Xinghua Village. The poem goes: "I've been seeing the spring date for a long time, and I just left Guo today. Apricot blossoms are flying in the rain, and the sound of pipes can be heard in the distance. Where can I find the old traces? The east wind blows warmly. "You can still get drunk at the wine bar and wait for the bright moonlight". In the Song Dynasty, Guichi Xinghua Village still had the grand scene of "apricot flowers flying in the rain", which shows that this village has a long history of development. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, from the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, various dynasties left There are more ruins in Xinghua Village. State (county) and county officials successively built pavilions and squares here. The more famous ones are "Xinghua Village Square", "Shepherd Boy's Pointing Place", "Xinghua Pavilion" and "Huanggong Jiulong". " etc., the ancient well in Xinghua Village still exists.
2. Consistent with Du Mu's chronology, in the six years from the second year of Huichang (842) to the first year of Dazhong in the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu successively visited Huangzhou (Macheng, Hubei) ), Chizhou (Guichi, Anhui), and Muzhou (Jiande, Zhejiang). He served in Chizhou for the longest time, from the fourth year (844) to the sixth year (846) of Huichang. Two springs of three years. Therefore, local chronicles during the Ming and Qing dynasties have many records of Du Mu's activities in Chizhou, and the collection of his poems and essays on his travels, farewells, meetings with friends, and handling of government affairs in Chizhou far exceeds that of other places. < /p>
3. It is consistent with the climate and scenery of the southeast. Guichi is close to the south bank of the Yangtze River. The climate is warm, humid and rainy. Before and after the Qingming Festival, there are drizzles, which is exactly the scene described in the first line of the poem "Qingming". Although there are occasional "spring rains" and "wild smoke" as Liu and Wen said, because it is an inland climate, "Qingming and Changming" and "Grain Rain" often occur every year. It is not common to see the scene of "no rain" and "rain in succession". Another poem by Du Mu, "Jiangnan Spring Quatrains", includes: "Thousands of miles of orioles are singing, the green is reflected in red, and the wind of wine flags in water villages, mountains and mountains", the poem "Qingming" Compared with his poem in terms of artistic conception and style, it is almost of the same origin, and it is all about the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
As for the dispute between Fenyang and Guichi Xinghua Village, the new version of "Cihai" is available for researchers. Let's go and analyze. The full text of "Xinghua Village" in the 1979 edition of "Cihai": Xinghua Village, (1) is located in the west of Guichi County, Anhui Province and is famous for its wine production. "Jiangnan Tongzhi" records: Tang poet Du Mu served as the governor of Chizhou. There is a poem: "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and people on the road are dying; I asked where the restaurant is, and the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village." This refers to Duhu Lake, Southeast Lake and other scenic spots nearby. (2) In Fen, Shanxi. According to legend, the eastern part of Yang County has been famous for the production of Fenjiu since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and enjoys the reputation of "sweet spring wine".
