The most famous is Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, located in Guandu, Zhushan.
Look at how the ancient pottery described Guandu Taoyuan Bar.
CCTV also broadcast it.
Jintai Yuan Zhong, (Wu Lingren takes fishing as his profession), (a trip to the far west), forgot the long journey. Suddenly met (Peach Blossom Forest), sandwiched between hundreds of steps, there were no miscellaneous trees in it, the grass was delicious, and the English was colorful, so the fishermen were very different. If you go any further, you will want to be poor. (The forest is short of water), you get a mountain with a small mouth. If there is light, leave the ship and enter through the mouth. At first, it was extremely narrow, and it took a few steps to make people enlightened. The land is flat and spacious, so is the house. Belong to (fertile field, beautiful pool, mulberry and bamboo). The traffic in the building is so busy that chickens and dogs hear each other. There were men and women dressed like strangers. The yellow hair hangs low and enjoys itself.
Seeing the fisherman, he was shocked and asked him what he had not done. Answer it. You have to go home and set up wine to kill chickens for dinner. When the village heard about this man, Xian came to inquire. Since Master Yunzu escaped from the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife to this desperate situation and did not return, so he was separated from outsiders. You ask what this world is, and I don't know if there are any Han Chinese, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties. This man speaks every word with a sigh. The rest went back to their homes, and all the food was spilled. Stop for a few days and resign.
There is a piece of writing in this story, which is not enough for outsiders. Help the road when you get off the boat, and you are determined everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou said so. The satrap sent someone to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he lost his way. Nanyang Liu Ziji, Gao Shang's also, heard about this matter and gladly planned to go, but failed. Seek the end of illness. Nobody took care of it after that.
Is the prototype of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden in Jiangnan or Jiangbei? Is it in the southeast corner or the northwest corner? More than 30 places in China called "Peach Blossom Spring" have their own words.
Last night, I watched the feature film "Seeking the Source" shot by the crew of CCTV's "Journey of Witness-Discovery" column. In Seeking the Source, experts' comments and real-life shooting are used to prove whether Wuling Gorge (Peach Blossom Garden) in guandu town, Zhushan County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province is the prototype of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden.
In the introduction of the program, Zhou Jinfang, vice president and professor of Yunyang Normal University, went to various places to check the "Peach Blossom Garden" and read the history books. It took a year to revise four drafts and finally form a conclusion. Recently, he declared to the media that Wuling Gorge in Zhushan County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province is the true prototype of the "Peach Blossom Garden". What are his reasons and grounds?
Zhou Jinfang believes that if we want to find the "Peach Blossom Garden", we must find Wu Lingren who has been to the Peach Blossom Garden. Because, 1600 years ago, Tao Yuanming clearly told the world in his article: "In the Jin, Tai and Yuan Dynasties, Wu Lingren made a living by fishing, forgot the distance of the road, and suddenly met the peach blossom forest." It can be seen that the inside story of Peach Blossom Garden is a Wu Lingren. So, where does Wu Lingren, which makes a living by fishing, come from? This has to start with the place name Wuling.
According to China Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Place Names and Geography of Hanshu, "Wuling County was occupied by Emperor Gao." Its specific year number is recorded in Zhu, that is, "the second year of Emperor Gaozu", that is, Wuling County was established in Hunan in 205 BC.
When Emperor Gaozu established Wuling County, there was another Wuling County in Hanzhong County. Where is Wuling County in Hanzhong? Zhou Jinfang looked up the Atlas of Chinese History and found that the county site of Wuling County is today's Zhushan, east longitude 1 10 degrees, north latitude 32. 15 degrees, between today's Baofeng Town of Zhushan County and xianhe town of Zhuxi County.
People can't help asking: Why do "Wuling County" and "Wuling County" coexist, not in one place?
Zhou Jinfang said that in 6 1 1 BC, Yong State was wiped out by multinational forces, but under the rule of Chu State, the people of Yong State may not be happy, but they still have to survive. What shall we do? You have to seek development elsewhere. One branch went southeast and settled in today's Hunan Province. Although they lost their home, they still miss their home. In order to remember their hometown, they named this new house with the old name, and the Chu culture moved south, which led to the relocation of place names. Hunan's Xiang (water), Zi (water), Yuan (water) and Li (water) can be found in Jingmen and Zhongxiang today. The names of Wuling County and Dayong County in Hunan Province are all traces left by Wu Lingren, Yongmin and Chu culture when they moved south.
Is Wu Lingren, who discovered the Peach Blossom Garden, from Wuling County or Wuling County? In other words, Zhushan people or Changde people? Through the analysis and inference of other events and characters in Peach Blossom Garden, Zhou Jinfang thinks that Wu Lingren is more likely to be from Zhushan. This can be seen from the following aspects.
Where does Peach Blossom Spring come from?
Where did the warm and simple "Peach Blossom Spring Man" in Peach Blossom Spring come from? They once introduced themselves: "Since Yun's ancestors avoided the chaos of Qin Dynasty and led their wives to this desperate situation, they were isolated from outsiders."
When did the "Qin Shi Luan" happen? According to Zhou Jinfang's textual research, it is inferred from the article "I wonder whether there are Han people, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties" that "Qin rebellion" refers to the war that took place when Qin Shihuang "annexed six countries". This kind of "chaos" can only happen in the places where Qin is at war with it, especially in Guansai and Yao Chong, which have land disputes with Qin. Qin and Chu have been at war for many years, and the main place of the war is the tug-of-war between Guanyangguan in Xunyang County and Guanyazi in Zhuxi County today, so there is the so-called "chop chop".
The ancestors of "people in the Peach Blossom Garden" did not dare to escape, so they quickly dragged their children and mothers and hid in the deep mountains and forests. Reasonably speaking, it is impossible to run too far, especially with family. Therefore, judging from the "Qin Rebellion", the "people in the Peach Blossom Garden" are the border people at war between Qin and Chu, or more precisely, the descendants of people living in the area of "Qin and Qin".
There is also a strong evidence, that is, the important information conveyed by the poems behind the Peach Blossom Garden. At the beginning of the poem, it says: "Winners are chaotic, while saints avoid the world. Huang Qi is good, and Iraqis die. " Huanggong Xia and Qi Liji, the "sages" who avoided chaos in the Qin Dynasty mentioned here, are two sages among the "Four Gentlemen of Virtue". The so-called "four gentlemen who are good" are the four famous people in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty. According to historical records, they hid in goodness for a long time to protest against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and avoid chaos. When he came out, he was over 80 years old and his eyebrows were white, so he was called "Shangshan Four Nobles". Liu Ying, the son of Liu Bang, took over the "Shangshan Four Houses". After Liu Ying took over, they returned to Shangshan and were buried in Shangshan, Feng Dan, Shaanxi Province, which is the bank of Danjiang today. Shangshan and Wuling Gorge are not far from Xiguan where Qin Chu is at war. From the origin of "Taohuayuan people", Wu Lingren is from Zhushan.
Where is Nanyang Liu Ziji adjacent to?
In The Peach Blossom Garden, it is said that after Wu Lingren came out of the Peach Blossom Garden, he told the satrap about it. Zhou Jinfang believes that Wu Lingren's series of behaviors are closely continuous in time, and the information revealed from them is that there is not much space distance between the location of the Taishou Fishing River and the "Peach Blossom Garden".
According to the Records of Zhushan County, the blocking of the river in Zhushan Mountain was called blocking water, Yong water and Wuling water in history, and the valley in the river is still called "Wuling Gorge". Looking up the Atlas of Chinese History, we can clearly know that Tao Yuanming lived in Shang Yong County, the county seat of today's Zhushan County, along the river that blocked the river for twenty or thirty miles.
From a spatial point of view, it is very likely that fishermen reported the discovery of "Peach Blossom Garden" to the magistrate on foot in a short time, so there was a continuous behavior of "going to the county to say this".
The satrap wanted to see the Peach Blossom Garden, but he didn't do it. The second one who didn't get what he wanted was Liu Ziji of Nanyang. This person does exist in the history books. According to the biography of the hermit, he likes mountains and rivers and doesn't practice gymnastics. In ancient times, transportation and information were inconvenient. He is a hermit because he is not an official and has no power. He heard about the Peach Blossom Garden. Judging from the analysis, this county must be close to Nanyang. At that time, the territory of Nanyang was very large, and Wudang Mountain belonged to Nanyang. The only county adjacent to Nanyang is Shang Yong.
Zhou Jinfang said that if Tao Yuanming was referring to Wuling County, he didn't need to mention Liu Ziji in Nanyang at all, and he could set up another hermit with a smaller spatial distance to testify.
In a word, judging from the relationship between fishermen and chiefs, and the temporal and spatial relationship between chiefs and Nanyang Liu Ziji, it is more likely that the Peach Blossom Garden is located in Zhushan today.
Where is the natural landscape more realistic?
Zhou Jinfang analyzed that the landscape of Taohuayuan can be divided into two parts: external landscape and internal landscape. Its external landscape has three distinct characteristics: first, the stream is long and can be used for boating; Second, the forest is full of water; Third, there are mountains, and mountains have small mouths.
Zhushan River, once called Wuling River, is an important tributary of the Han River. Not only was it feasible then, but there is still a lot of water today. Take a small wooden boat from guandu town and go upstream along Wuling River. Soon, you can see an isolated mountain protruding from the center of the river. The river flows out from the depths of the distant canyon, which is fascinating. Isn't this "forest exhaustion"? Coming out of the narrow mountain pass less than two meters wide behind the mountain, there are cliffs hundreds of meters high on both sides. Looking up, you can only see a glimmer of daylight. Isn't this "the mountain has a small mouth and seems to have light"? Isn't this the Wuling Gorge, which is "very narrow at first and only people can pass through"?
The natural landscape of Taohuayuan also has three characteristics: first, the flat land surrounded by mountains; Second, trees are lush, streams are surrounded, and flowers are blooming; Third, the house is like. From Wuling Canyon, we came to a natural village called Taohuayuan. According to the records of Zhushan place names, the name of "Taoyuan" here began in the Jin Dynasty. If you stand on the mountain and look at the bottom of the valley, it is really "suddenly enlightened, the land is flat and spacious, the house is just like it, with fertile fields, beautiful ponds and mulberry trees, and the traffic in the building is crowded with chickens and dogs ..." The natural landscape of Wuling Gorge in Zhushan is more in line with the "Peach Blossom Garden" than anywhere else.
Where is the customs near?
Zhou Jinfang thinks that Zhushan people are hospitable in treating people. When a family comes to a guest, it is everyone's guest, and every household cares. Isn't this a "salty inquiry"? Please come home if you can. Good food and good wine are all contributed to the guests. Isn't this the legacy that people in Taohuayuan "will return to China" after meeting fishermen?
From the perspective of lifestyle, Taohuayuan people meet fishermen and "set wine to kill chickens for food". Three words, six words, vividly wrote their living customs. Look at Zhushan people today. Isn't the wine culture of "every family makes wine" and "no wine, no table" still prevalent? Isn't it still popular to "kill the chicken", "guests eat the head of the chicken" and "no feast without chicken"?
Judging from the rural customs, many towns and villages in Zhushan today are simple and honest with each other. Taoyuan village and some other places still have the custom of "not closing the door at night".
Are the lifestyles and customs of many Zhushan people today an extension and continuation of the customs of Taohuayuan people?
Is there anyone willing to give up their present work and life and come to this "Peach Blossom Garden"-like place to live? The answer is unexpected and reasonable. Unexpectedly, no one wants to come here to release when life is stressful; It is reasonable that although modern people yearn for the rural life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", it is really difficult for us to give up our accustomed urban life!
