1in the spring of 994, peach blossoms in Longquanyi, Chengdu, were in full bloom. I rode my bike and strolled along the path at the foot of the mountain. Pink flowers, pink mountains, pink vision, full of spring scenery, bees flying, pollen fragrance, refreshing. The air is humid and open-minded, and the mountains on the edge of the plain are particularly beautiful and the scenery is particularly charming.
At that time, there was no farmhouse music, but there was "Yu Xinle". I stopped the car, my hands were trumpet-shaped, calling to the rolling mountains. The mountains respond to the same rolling sound, just like the sweet Chengdu dialect.
At that time, there were many teahouses, a bamboo lounge chair, a cup of green tea, a dragon gate array or a laser video feature film on the streets of Chengdu, which made this afternoon full of interest. The trees on the roadside are mottled, and tea drinkers sometimes simply move their chairs outside the door and enjoy the warm beauty brought by the sun through the cracks in the leaves. Yes, Chengdu people will enjoy life, and a leisurely lifestyle will make the city more feminine.
The streets of Chengdu, shrouded in darkness, are brightly lit. The night in the cultural capital is full of charm. The bells of Wuhou Temple are loud and distant, the night wind of Du Fu Caotang is full of poetry, the river flows under Xiling Mountain, and Kuanzhai Lane is brightly lit. Night is like coffee, and the taste is strong after a sip.
Under the dim light of night, from Luodai Ancient Town to Jiuyan Bridge Head, from Lotus Pond to Xindu New City, "Chengdu" is playing in the streets and alleys of Chengdu. More than 20 years ago, Chengdu and Xinrong City, where cash was changing with each passing day, met and merged in songs, either unrestrained or euphemistic, all of which showed their true feelings for their second hometown.
Chengdu is a land of abundance. Chengdu is the land of rice in western sichuan bazi, the land of abundance, the central city of southwest China and the political, economic and cultural center of Sichuan. Chengdu people are extremely sensitive to politics and have unique thinking. They have always been familiar with the court's policy and are satisfied with it. It's hard to subdue. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang sat in the battle, and there was a link: "If you can attack the heart, you will bring about your own destruction. Since ancient times, knowing that soldiers are not good at fighting, they do not judge the situation and combine leniency with severity. In the future, you should think hard. " During the Cultural Revolution, there was a saying about the intelligent and leisure character of Chengdu people, such as "The world is not chaotic, Shu is chaotic first, the world is ruled, and Shu is not cured". Chengdu has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and cultural celebrities such as Dayu, Li Bing, Luo, Zhuge Liang, Wu Zetian, Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi and Yang Shen all gathered in Chengdu. They are all important towns of China's poetry. The article is unique and the writing is brilliant. Literary masters are as bright as stars. The elites from all walks of life who came to Sichuan University at all times and all over the world feel extremely lucky to set foot on this long-awaited land. In this land, there are respected heavyweight poets such as Liushahe, Mufu and Ouyang He Jiang in modern times, and more are ordinary grassroots poets and colorful sisters like stars. In the era of educated youth, I was lucky enough to become attached to Xiaoxiao, an educated youth who was assigned to Yingjing by his girlfriend in Chengdu. Instead, she became a literary friend, and she took me to Chengdu during the holiday. She said that only when Chengdu arrives at the Caotang can it taste the elegance of this famous cultural city. So the thatched cottage is the first place where I set foot in mourning for the literati. As soon as I got there, I saw the magnificent Du Fu, a statue with a long beard and an artist's demeanor. When I arrive in Chengdu, I want to chat with him, just like the streets and restaurants in Chengdu. At that time, no one dared to play mahjong, but there were many poems about tea. Even if you are an impatient person, or even a person who lacks clothes and food, when you see these laid-back people, you will lower your head and think, why should I be so anxious? Chengdu is not an impatient city, but it is famous for its elegance and leisure. On that night in Chengdu, I chatted with her and Chengdu educated youth literature friends about a pair of embroidered shoes, the second handshake, the song of Nanjing educated youth, breaking the hope of life, and so on. The conversation is shallow, not too deep, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. That's it. Get rid of those affectations and talk over tea. Leaning back in a chair lazily, you can laugh like a flower or pale like a chrysanthemum today. There is no fixed way, just be casual, don't try to figure out the root cause, and plan the bottom. Listen, maybe you can. If you don't listen, look and think, you can turn off the whole world. Of course, people talk about poetry and prose the most. I found that we are the people with the most true temperament and have our own aesthetic standards and artistic standards. We all agree that some famous poets' poems are not poems, but rubbish made in impetuous times, which are clumsy works of literary and art circles touting each other and will be abandoned by history sooner or later. But they still insist that this generation can't understand it, and they should pass it on to future generations for future generations to study it carefully. I am even more dismissive of some self-righteous gangsters who spend money on prizes. When Tan Xing was in his prime, Luo Jia, a beautiful Chengdu poet, looked pure and beautiful, elegant and generous. At the age of 24, she threatened to "get rid of the three beautiful poets who drank in Chengdu, and she drank wine with her poems". The more you talk, the more speculative you are. There are too many things in common that ignite us, and too many beautiful things lead us. I have to admire that her poems are poems, not hyped by friends circle and media as Li Boqing said.
Recently, a new book, The Original Chengdu, was published. Chang Yao, Zhou Tao, Ma Xinchao and Gao Kai, poets who have succeeded in regional writing, have all become iconic figures of local culture, so I guess their ambition to create this collection of poems is not small. After returning to Shanxi, they can be native Shanxi people. Why can't they write an authentic Shanxi, so that readers all over the country and even the world know about Shanxi, its numerous natural landscapes and Shanxi culture? But as a native of Chengdu, I did it, just as Tolstoy's works became a mirror of Russia, and Mr. Jia's < < Shaanxi Opera > > built a monument for my hometown. The book Dead Water by Jie Li, a famous Sichuan writer, has made many cultural people at home and abroad know and love Chengdu. Let us respect and admire.
In Chengdu's poems, you read and come here to enjoy your trip to Chengdu. To tell the truth, you need to walk quietly and appreciate it slowly, not like those who are looking for it. They just accompanied the higher-level officials to visit. Today, our literary friends invited us, which was more rewarding than the tour guide. I know more than just traveling with leaders, so that we can truly appreciate the character, emotion and spirit of Chengdu people. KaRen Yang, a famous poet, commented on this collection of poems: "He is very realistic, but every sentence seems to be empty. He is writing a novel, but he thinks it is true. " However, Chengdu in his works is real, but it is not filmed like a TV documentary, but infused with Chengdu's history, culture and personality, with feelings, thoughts and realm. From national and world affairs to private neighborhood songs. Chengdu he wrote is also a humanistic Chengdu. He painted the scenery of Chengdu, showed the people of Chengdu, and blended ancient and modern elements. There is a food culture in Sichuan called Tianfu Eating Canon. This is a classic monologue/from rural to urban, from one era to another/neither fat nor thin, always showing a special charm in the rendering of various condiments. The taste of "neither fat nor thin" is consistent with the carefree mental state of Chengdu people. If you think that Chengdu people are old-fashioned, it is too one-sided, that is, Sichuan-style pork, a traditional dish, keeps pace with the times: "It never hides its light when interacting with various seasonal vegetables." Of course, it is to write the character and spirit of Chengdu people through diet. Even the way Chengdu people eat has the flavor of Sichuan Opera. There are several combinations of singing, helping, playing and hot pot: "This used to be a boat song on the Sichuan River, and the horn/sinister waterway boiled into a chorus/full of emotion, which began to become famous all over the world." If you don't read his poems, I'm afraid you'll never know the historical origin and misery of hot pot. The less the soup is cooked, the fresh elements/all float in the noisy noise/only the bottom of the brass pot/the historical details are preserved. There are many ways to find roots, but few from diet. Only Chengdu people can write it naturally.
To write about a city, we should not only write about tall buildings, but also write about roads and bridges. If "City" is a book that won't get tired of reading for a long time, then "Road to Chengdu" is a classic prose. Such as Rongcheng Road, it can be said that this is all the roads in Chengdu, and it is a road that breaks through the regional significance, and the poet has endowed it with brand-new and rich ideological connotation. "When many fields are put on the road/some exciting, radical, fashionable and antique terms/become roads, outsiders are familiar/locals are unfamiliar". The rapid development of the city will inevitably lead to the ridge becoming a road, and high-rise buildings will replace the pastoral scenery. There is a strong nostalgia here. "Those ridges, those hillsides, those river ditches/those city walls, and when I was a child, I herded cattle, ran wild and hid from cats, courted girls, played truant, and so on. , memory/became a road. " When people reach the age of 60, they will be nostalgic. Inevitably, memory becomes a road. "I have seen many times in childhood alleys/talked about those brothers who died young/and more often bowed to each other and called each other avenues." This is the most vicissitudes and affectionate poem it has ever written. Those brothers who died young make people feel sorry and feel the vagaries of life. The two arms of "Mutual Avenue" bumped into each other, and after reading his book, they were full of tears. Such as Hongxing Road, Dongli Road and Shamao Street. After reading it, you can appreciate the temptation of this poetic Chengdu that you can't stop and don't want to leave!
Furong is the city flower of Chengdu, and most people over 50 in Chengdu can sing the Sichuan opera "Lotus Fairy". Comrade Xiaoping came out to preside over the work and directed the revival of Sichuan Opera in Chengdu. Modern Sichuan Opera and poems about hibiscus flowers include hibiscus flowers in Chengdu, hibiscus or love, hibiscus and love, autumn wind, hibiscus, Chengdu and ode to hibiscus, which shows the poet's preference for hibiscus flowers. Poets write about hibiscus, just like writing about Chengdu's diet and the inner spirit of Chengdu people. In "Lotus in Chengdu", I wrote: "This season, the lotus in Chengdu is in full bloom/after a few drops of autumn rain/I can't see the almost artificial beauty of roses/every flower is slowly/gracefully unveiled." In "Lotus, or Love", I wrote: "After the autumn wind shines high/I won't open my heart until I die. In "When Ginkgo biloba leaves are flying again", I wrote: "There are not many leaves that can land cleanly/can also reflect the personality and feelings of Chengdu people. So Chengdu is Chengdu.
If you write about Chengdu, you can't write the soul of Chengdu without writing about Caotang. Caotang is a sacred place that poets yearn for. Therefore, Peng Zhiqiang, a famous writer in Chengdu, remembered his feelings for Du Fu, retraced Du Fu's footsteps from birth to death at his own expense, and wrote 998 1 a new poem with a coherent charm, just like watching a long scroll of broken calligraphy, almost every poem can find Du Fu's brand. Through Du Fu's life and death, love and hate, laughter and crying. He became the first person to systematically study Du Fu in China, which shocked the literary world. In the past, there were not many people reading poems in Caotang Temple, and Du Fu in the textbook was next to the grand Caotang Temple. They talk about Du Fu lightly, just like talking about neighbors or friends. This is the Chengdu of culture. Since the birth of Autumn Wind and Breaking the Waves, Du Fu fever at home and abroad has kept a constant stream of Chinese and foreign tourists coming to Chengdu, once again enhancing the popularity and reputation of Chengdu, a famous cultural city. Some laid-back 80-year-olds are also scrambling to buy Autumn Wind and Waves. From white-haired old people to primary school students, they all love to read books repeatedly. This is probably the character of Chengdu people. They are passionate for a while and silent for a while. No matter how important people are, no matter how big things are, they can remain calm and comfortable. Just like Tao Yuanming's calm mentality of "seeing Nanshan leisurely": "Under the pine and cypress, there are all kinds of wonders", now they are too pale to look at history with a peaceful attitude.
But in the form of poetry, it shows us a Chengdu full of infinite charm and cultural accumulation, from which we can also realize the heartfelt love of the poets of "Original Chengdu" and "Autumn Wind Break" for Chengdu, a native of Shanghai. Arouse China people's cultural confidence. Chengdu, like other cities in China, is marching towards a modern metropolis with unswerving steps in the tide of reform and opening up. I'm afraid it's hard to find Chengdu in my past memory. Now this is the historical value of the book "Autumn Wind and Waves" and "Former Chengdu".
