Wu Xu pitied me and advised me to travel to Baiyue in Huangshan, but failed.
If you want to know gold and silver, swim from yellow to white.
I have never dreamed of Huizhou in my life.
Precautions:
1 lack: down and out, trapped and poor.
② Yellow and white: Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain in Huizhou. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, Huizhou's commerce was prosperous, and businessmen were rich in the world.
The preface of the poem explains Tang Xianzu's professional status at that time: poverty and poverty. Then why did his friends advise him to go to Huizhou when he was down and out? Then it's definitely not a leisure experience tour now. You have no stomach, don't be idle. I just hope to make a comeback in Huizhou, and this opportunity should still be pinned on Guo Xu.
In the 19th year of Wanli (159 1), Guo Xu retired to her hometown in Shexian County, Huizhou. As long as you look at the Guo Xu Octagonal Pavilion, which still stands in the ancient city of Shexian, you will know the position of Guo Xu in the imperial court. Although he retired, Guo Xu was both a teacher and an important minister of the emperor. As long as he is willing to recommend, Tang Xianzu's life will change.
Therefore, Wu Xudang, a good friend of Tang Xianzu, suggested that Tang Xianzu meet Guo Xu in Huizhou to bridge the gap and rebuild the friendship between teachers and students. As long as Guo Xu is willing to say something to the emperor, he can change his predicament. "Yellow and white" in the poem refers to Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain (Yun Qi), which is a metaphor for gold and silver, that is, the salary of officials.
No matter what caused the failure of Tang Xianzu's trip to Huangbai, Tang Xianzu's praise of Huizhou could not be inferred.
In fact, at the beginning of the poem, Huizhou is described as a place full of copper smell: if you want to get rich, you must go to Huizhou between Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain. This may really be in line with the social reality at that time, because Huizhou merchants were famous all over the world in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Huizhou was naturally regarded as a place where laymen envied gold.
But all this has nothing to do with the beauty of the scenery, and what does it have to do with the poor playwright? At that time, Tang Xianzu was suggested to go to Huizhou, either to ask for help or to ask for immortality, including Xu Guo Ye and Qiyun Mountain, and the most realistic channel was naturally to ask for help, so it had nothing to do with the scenery. Therefore, if this poem is understood as the author's praise of Huizhou scenery, it is all wet.
It should be expressed that the author is unwilling to bow his head and ask for help: it is said that wealth is in Huizhou, but unfortunately I have never thought of going to Huizhou in my life.
If you change "I've been crazy all my life" to "I've been miserable all my life", the meaning may be clearer. I haven't changed this. It can be found in the article titled "Jiang Zehan, the Master of Mathematics" on Peking University Alumni Network. Its original text is "Tang Xianzu, a great dramatist, left a poem of' A lifetime of pain, no dream of Huizhou' because he yearned for Huizhou."
This kind of "pain" seems to come from not dreaming that he is in Huizhou, but I don't know that Tang Xianzu's pain in the second half of his life comes from Huizhou. If he really wants to go to Huizhou, he should imitate the last two sentences of the folk song "Xizhou Qu" in the Southern Dynasties: "The south wind knows what I want and dreams of Xizhou." It is not that Huizhou is not beautiful, but that Mr. Xianzu was born at an untimely time.
However, it turns out that Wuyuan under Huizhou finally belongs to Mr. Tang's hometown in Jiangxi, which may be regarded as compensation for misunderstanding.
Extended data:
"Baiyue Mountain" in the poem "No Visit to Huangshan Mountain" refers to Yun Qi in Xiuning. Yun Qi, Wudang Mountain in Hubei, heming in Sichuan, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi and Huangshan Mountain are also called "Four Famous Taoist Mountains in China" and "Hundred Mountains in Huangshan". In Tang Xianzu's poems, "Huangshan Baiyue" is simply called "Huangbai". The four sentences in the whole poem are actually about "cause and effect". That is, the first two sentences write the reason, and the last two sentences write the result.
The theme of the whole poem comes first, not the last two sentences that future generations value. Judging from the poet's experience and personality, this poem is neither a praise of the "yellow and white" beauty nor an expression of the yearning to go to Huizhou, but a lifelong feeling. When the poet wrote this poem, he was down and out, and his friends invited him for advice many times, hoping that he could get a chance to develop in Huizhou, but he failed.
The "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 salaries. No matter what makes it unsuccessful, it is impossible to infer Tang Xianzu's praise of Huizhou. In fact, at the beginning of the poem, Huizhou was described as a place full of copper smell: if you want to get rich, you must go to Huizhou in the mountains of Huangshan Mountain.
This is in line with the social reality at that time. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants became famous all over the world and were as rich as an enemy. Huizhou is naturally regarded as a place that advocates money. But all this has nothing to do with the beauty of the scenery or the poor playwright. This poem expresses the poet's reluctance to bow down and ask for help: it is said that wealth is in Huizhou, but unfortunately I never thought about going to Huizhou in my life.

2. Always poetic appreciation in my heart:
The woman in the boudoir hasn't felt the spring yet.
Has stood at the end of spring.
Just because the green by the water is too easy to get old.
I didn't see Haitang dye rouge.
But I saw lush grass wandering in the sunset.
The lyre song disappeared coldly.
Stay, the wind begins in silence.
The red calyx of hibiscus does not bloom in the palm.
Xiangzi has fallen into the endless soup in the river.
Mingyue entered the account.
Autumn is cool in my heart.
The warm day in the deep wall has dispersed, only autumn is seen.
Beautiful people sit alone in silence, but they are stung by the cold.
The wax torch burned out the red Luo Yi.
I can't feel the deep leakage at night.
Elegant shadow in the small window
Vaguely like a dreamer
But can't stop the cold wind.
Single people are only beautiful and cold.
It snowed even harder last night.
The stone road is cold to the heart.

The heroine of this play, Xie Zhiqing's wife, is gentle and virtuous, tough and tolerant, soft outside and firm inside. She is a typical representative of traditional Huizhou women and an oriental woman whose traditional virtues are concentrated in her life. This drama focuses on her dramatic and emotional life as an ordinary Huizhou woman.

The son of Xie's former head grandmother is also the head of Xie's ancestral hall. Cowardly, paranoid, kind-hearted, he pursued fame all his life, but failed repeatedly. Finally, he was disheartened and compiled a genealogy behind closed doors. He spared no effort to safeguard the interests of the Xie family, but pedantry often led to more serious family struggles and external disasters.
Sogou encyclopedia-grand ancestral hall
Han Zaifen, a famous actor of Huangmei Opera, performed Huizhou Woman, which is being staged in Chang 'an Grand Theatre. The fruitless life of Huizhou women has brought tears to the audience.
However, I was lucky enough to visit Hongcun, the hometown of Huizhou women at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in this continuous autumn rain, and completed an invisible century contract with Huizhou women. Holding a pink umbrella, I stepped into this small village surrounded by mountains and rivers among the tourists scattered because of rainy days.
When my footsteps wandered along the shore of Nanhu Lake, a 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 get confused: Is it true that the residual lotus cracked by autumn rain in this clear pond, the white wall and black tiles on the other side of this pond, and the winding path of the deep courtyard hidden in it? I was either splashed with ink by painters of all ages or appeared in my dreams. In an instant, my soul seems to have crossed time and space, and 860 years of history suddenly became nothing. Born in the north, I am used to the boldness of spacious courtyards, but at this time I tremble for the graceful buildings and small bridges.
I walked as lightly as possible in this narrow winding alley paved with bluestone slabs, as if afraid of waking up the ghost who had been sleeping for a hundred years. The zigzag artificial water pool around the house is accompanied by every alley, and the gurgling sound of running water is like the tiny footsteps and intermittent sadness of Huizhou women.
The towering gables on both sides go straight into the sky, and the walls are filled with the musty smell of falling years. When you touch it, a heartbreaking coolness permeates your fingers. The lime on the wall is peeling off, like the face of a player who hasn't finished removing makeup.
The so-called "the king has a hall and the people have a hall." Sanlitang, Lexiantang, Jushantang, Xiutang, Chengzhitang, Taoyuanju ... Looking back, you can also appreciate the architectural features and Confucian culture of Huizhou merchants' mansion in southern Anhui.
In the hierarchical Ming and Qing dynasties, although businessmen had wealth, their social status was not high, which was reflected in their architecture that they did not seek grandeur but perfection. They are all high walls and thick walls, and they are all small windows and narrow doors, which are subtle and restrained.
But as soon as you enter the door, it is another landscape: carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and magnificent, extremely luxurious. During the existence of exquisite three sculptures (wood carving, stone carving and brick carving), every door, window, beam and bed were exquisite works of art.
The couplets such as "Happiness comes from hard work, and things are worth more than money", "Diligence is two proverbs, and farming is two right ways", and "Sitting still and thinking about yourself, gossiping" tell the unyielding life wisdom and philosophy of Huizhou merchants. They have won on the difficult road of doing business, but deep down, they can't get rid of the ideal of farming and studying and the loneliness as marginal people. This contradictory mentality constitutes the unique core of Huizhou merchant culture.
The light falls from the tile surface around the patio with the rain, turning into a halo, and the sound of ticking is endless, making this century-old house more and more profound. I looked up, and the attic on the second floor was the young lady's embroidery room.
In the dim light, I can't see the bottom, only in the mottled shadow, blurred into a faint breath, telling the story that happened here wholeheartedly. What kind of story is that? Perhaps a young girl, hiding behind the exquisite wooden fence upstairs, shyly looked down from the "Wang Fu Cave" specially designed by the architect, chose a satisfied husband and looked forward to the immediate happiness.
But life is always so helpless, happy days are fleeting. A handpicked husband will leave Wan Li for decades. Only the beautiful woman was left leaning against the door, expecting to come back.
Watching magpies at night is like snuff, and it is like turning moss into snow at dusk. The "beauty leaning", which frequently appears in Huizhou architecture for women to lean on the railing to take pictures, is her lonely storage place day after day; The twists and turns of clear spring water are her endless tears of homesickness.
I can't help asking, "That weak woman, how many tears can you have in your eyes?" How can you stop autumn from flowing into winter and spring from flowing into summer? " A woman who can marry a Huizhou merchant is doomed to such a fate. Although they live in a beautiful house, they can be alone; Although you enjoy all the splendor, you can't find pleasure in sex; A bright lamp shines on the wall and window, and as time goes by, the beauty will fade ... There is a local proverb: "Three and a half years in and while one man guards it", and the days of gathering less and leaving more will turn a fresh life into a cold chastity archway, still standing in the open field, and the wind and frost of any century will not blow away that weak soul.
Hongcun has two wonders: one is the unique and vivid artificial water network. The artificial water pool drawn from the clear spring in the mountain twists and turns, passing through every alley and yard; There is a South Lake in the south of the village, and there is a Moon Bay in the village, which can wash hands and water the land. It's really flowing water, households clear canals, geese dance with red palms, ducks play with clear waves; The black tile and white wall are reflected in the pond, and the smoke is floating in the air; Just like a splash-ink landscape painting, it reveals an ethereal and quiet atmosphere, which is the first in the ecological village.
Second, it is located in the mountainous area of southern Anhui in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is far away and beautiful, but it is not known to ordinary people. So for hundreds of years, without wars, the villagers have been working and studying, and they are called "people in the Peach Blossom Garden". Therefore, these ancient villages have been completely preserved to this day, and people still live in them. This is a miracle in China, which has been surging for a hundred years.
Under the repeated urging of the tour guide, I bid farewell to this beautiful village step by step and had to bid farewell to the invisible Huizhou woman. In the canteen at the entrance of the village, some tourists and villagers gathered in front of the window and watched attentively.
I also went to watch. Oh, it turns out that the TV is playing, and nine newly elected Politburo Standing Committee members are meeting with reporters. I can't help laughing. After all, it's the 2 1 century with developed information, and Hongcun is no longer a paradise of "fools regardless of Wei and Jin dynasties".
Therefore, today's Huizhou women should no longer be the dissatisfied housewife who cries at the breeze and regrets at the moon? I hope so.
5. Why is there a saying that "I was born in Huizhou and had no previous life"? For ancient people, Huizhou was a barren land.
There is a proverb in Huizhou: if you don't practice in your last life, you were born in Huizhou at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and you were rejected. It is a true portrayal. Because there are many mountains and few fields, Huizhou families can't afford to raise their children and grandchildren. Boys 13, 4 years old will go out as apprentices, and they can't go home if they don't learn. This is the origin of the famous "Huizhou merchants" in ancient times. Therefore, Mr. Hu Shizhi, a native of Huizhou, has a saying, "No town, no emblem".
Because young people leave home, Huizhou merchants value profit over parting, and they are looking for flowers outside, but they have wives at home. There is a local saying that "one wife and three wives for three and a half years", that is to say, being a wife of Huizhou people will only be together for three and a half years in a lifetime. This statement has been proved to be true after repeated textual research by good people. What about three and a half years later? Women in Zhengzhou can only live alone and dare not cross the border, because they have a heavy hat on their heads, which makes people breathless. This is the "Zhu Chengxin Confucianism" that brings Confucius' Confucianism into full play.

7. Introduction of Huizhou charm After reading a thick book "Jiangnan Water Town", I stood up and recalled Yu's wonderful pen and ink. Looking out the window, it's raining in Mao Mao.
Inevitably, a typical picture of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River emerges: misty rain covers a delicate small bridge, and water gurgles under it; There is a distant figure under the oil-paper umbrella, a row of small pits with different shades under the dripping eaves, and the air is filled with a long and quiet cultural atmosphere. My hometown is Huizhou, an ancient town at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, which is famous for Huizhou merchants.
Antique Huizhou is a world cultural heritage, with white walls and black tiles, and simple lines outline the simplicity and purity of the ancient town. Jiangnan town has its unique tranquility and serenity, which will never be found in the noise.
The footsteps of tourists always disturb it unintentionally. To appreciate and taste the real Huizhou, only when there are few tourists. Let's feel this ancient Huizhou with our ears and listen carefully.
The biggest movement, of course, is the sound of running water beating on both sides, playing a never-ending dance music. Water is the characteristic of small towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Without water, it will lose its essence.
The water network in Huizhou town is vertical and horizontal, and the water strings up the Huizhou spirit. Behind the underwater sound, you may also hear the rhythmic rustling of looms and the crackling of firewood in the yard, and the most interesting and attractive sound is the "jingle" sound of playing cotton. The cotton spinning worker skillfully added musical charm to this monotonous work.
Cotton wool is flying in the air, as if dancing with the cheerful rhythm. Let's open our eyes again and enjoy the customs of Huizhou with our favorite organs.
Walking on a path paved with bluestone less than 5 meters wide, with high lime walls on both sides, the thumping sound at the foot is constantly reflected and refracted, making people want to create music with their feet. The charm of ancient buildings is unforgettable. In the early years, Huizhou merchants invested heavily in the construction of small buildings, with rooms connected, halls opposite, carved windows and painted buildings, which made people admire the architectural model created by their ancestors.
Huizhou ancient town in the rain has a unique flavor, and the town is another poetic picture. The moisture of rain has added a little vitality to the ancient town. Raindrops fell gently on the century-old house and patted the blue tiles. After the white wall was wet by the rain, it was gray and white, and the middle transition was harmonious. Every wall seems to be a splash-ink landscape painting in a freehand brushwork style.
Rainwater flowed down the tiles and fell into the small holes already formed on the bluestone board, and the splashing water splashed everywhere. If the picture is frozen, the splashing water is like a crystal crown, crystal clear and inlaid with diamonds. The splashed water dripped on the wet slate around, splashing a smaller splash.
I like living in a small town and enjoying every minute of the old town. Ancient towns always give me a feeling that only small town residents have, quiet and remote.
