Beijing, the city with the largest number of former residences of celebrities. Clouds in Beijing ■ The customs of Beijing in the past have been shrouded in thick clouds in the memories of today. It is no wonder that a novel written by Lin Yutang after his career in a foreign land in Beiping should be named after the cloud in Beijing. Our capital is full of nosy people. A BMW car symbolizing dignitaries once covered the streets and the sky of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, covering countless heroic achievements, literary anecdotes, affairs and even official records ... We can only use the hands of years to sort out the smoky past that happened in this magical land with the help of mourning, hold our breath and tread lightly, for fear of scaring away the paper-thin dusty dreams and footsteps. Is reality a copy of the past or is the past a projection of reality? When I suddenly look back in the maze of words, I can't help but wonder if body double, who is also the body of the ancients, is continuing their progress and loss, noise and agitation, obedience and struggle, hesitation and shouting ... for a long time. As a city, Beijing is immortal; But for the joys and sorrows, ups and downs that have been staged on this historical stage, everything is an instant, everything is a passer-by, no matter what celebrities or vigorous events. There are many former residences of celebrities in Beijing. The Palace Museum (the former residence of emperors of past dynasties) is naturally the first to bear the brunt, followed by various palaces, with an elegant degree of less than one person and more than 10,000 people. Wang Hongbin has a loyal and loyal prince mansion, Yilu has a prince mansion, and Shisha Houhai has an alcoholic prince mansion (whose West Garden was later Soong Ching Ling's former residence). The carved fence should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed it. I live in Kuanjie Banchang Hutong, and I walked past a shabby quadrangle deep in the Hutong at dusk. I found a sign made by the Cultural Relics Bureau on the gray wall with mottled moss marks on it. Take a closer look, it is actually the old residence of Prince Sengqin, and I am reading the biography of this brave and brave Mongolian prince. It's really confusing: I thought it must be crowded with guests, but now there are many cobwebs. Ask any young profiteer in the street, and he may not even know who the monk king is. This is sometimes inevitable for me: once I was invited to eat at an old restaurant called Jinyang Hotel in Hufangqiao. Thanks to the introduction of the host, I realized that this restored building is Ji Xiaolan Yuewei Caotang, where he wrote the famous Notes of Yuewei Caotang during the Qianlong period. Drink it again, and it feels like it's much mellow. The origin of this cup of wine can be traced back to the Qing dynasty, which is very cultural. There is a quaint farmhouse courtyard at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, which was discovered as the former residence of Cao Xueqin (but some red scholars objected to this textual research). I bought tickets for the tour. With a skeptical attitude, I listened to the tour guide's explanation: stone mill, jujube tree, vague handwriting on the wall and a rusty oil lamp all have their origins. But I still hope it is true in my heart: Cao Xueqin's painstaking efforts here have left a mess for China literature; And I, standing in the place where a dream of red mansions was born, have been moved by the light of the ancients. Later, when I read the Red Chamber, I always saw the broken wall, which was overgrown with weeds ... There were many places in the former residence of Mei Lanfang in Beijing. From Li Tieguai to Xie Jie (birthplace), Baishun Hutong, Whip Lane and Lucaoyuan to Wuliangdaren Hutong, Huguosi Street and Xijiu Curtain Hutong. He immigrated many times. Among them, the mansion with boundless adult hutong is the most famous, and the Swedish Crown Prince and Indian poet Tagore have all visited it. At that time, groups of foreign admirers took "visiting the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and the former residence of Mei Lanfang" as the main activity agenda and proposed it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As for the house in Lucaoyuan, the inner wall is opened and the two quadrangles are combined into one. Mei Lanfang often invites Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong to bring morning glory to this yard to recite poems and paint. There are almost too many former residences of celebrities, large and small, listed in Beijing, most of which are not specially designed for visiting, but converted into office space or civilian residence. Too many celebrities have lived in Beijing. For example, Ou Yangyuqian's former residence in Zhang Zizhong was shared by many citizens. Bicycles are parked at the door, honeycomb briquettes are pushed in the corridor, and winter Chinese cabbage is dried on the windowsill. If you don't look at the signboard of the Cultural Relics Bureau on the street wall, how can you imagine the original owner? I have a friend who lives in the former residence of Sai Jinhua in Shi Jia Hutong. When I went to be a guest, I joked with him and said, "Be careful, don't get stuck in that thick powder gas when you dream." He also said humorously, "I have lived here for several years and become more and more heroic and short-lived." Zhang Zhongxing talked about luxurious historical relics many times in Painting Dreams: "If it is limited to people and has a literary name, its former residence is only Xuannan, so dozens of places can be found, right? Famous people are more likely to cause nostalgia for the past, such as Tiecross Hutong, where there was a farm in the late Ming Dynasty. When we passed the door, we couldn't help thinking of Chen Yuanyuan. Shouldn't such ambiguity exist? This is the way of life. We are laity, and vulgarity is our duty. Not sentimental, but it can also be said that it is harmless. " Yes, when you think of Chen Yuanyuan, you will think of Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, and even the Qing soldiers who entered the customs, and think of the epigram of "rushing to the crown and being angry is a beauty". More importantly, when I think of history, I actually interpret it this way. Old traces still exist, and the past is like smoke. In this city with a history of 3,000 years, we will always touch the part washed away by years. More has dissipated in the clouds beyond paper, legend and memory. Unspeakable human emotions. From the blank to the blank, this "blank in the blank" (poet Murphy's sentence). Blank space makes us feel rich. And every tenacious ink dot and line serves as evidence of time and awakens our richer memories. Everyone's memory is a personal history; And history itself is the memory of all mankind and the sum total of collective memory. So Lin Yutang, who wrote Clouds in Beijing, wanted to say: "Paris and Beijing are recognized as the two most beautiful cities in the world. Some people think that Beijing is more beautiful than Paris. Almost everyone who has been to Beijing will gradually like it. Its irresistible charm is like a mystery that is difficult to understand and describe ... all ancient cities are the products of centuries of development and evolution. They are scarred and contain traces of historical accumulation. They are witnesses of people's dreams ... a city is by no means the creation of someone. Many generations have left a precious legacy to this city through their own lifestyles and creative achievements, and integrated their own personality into the whole city. Dynasties rise and fall, but the lives of ordinary people in Beijing remain the same ... the city has always been there, and their lives are fleeting. It can be seen that any city is greater than those who have ruled it for a period of time. " He named this passage "the spirit of old Beijing". Spirit can achieve immortality more than matter.
