1. Liuyuan is located in Dayuwan, the south bank of Dongcheng River, No.23 Koutai Road, downtown, and it is the "Nanhao Fisherman Singing", one of the ancient "Eight Scenes of Hailing". Surrounded by willows outside the garden; Willow, bamboo forest, osmanthus forest and magnolia forest penetrate each other in the park, with a winding path, ancient charm and unique scenery. It is planned to restore the landscape of Dayuwan and build a teahouse and a memorial hall for Liujing Pavilion.
2. Outside the south gate of Taizhou, there is a little-visited garden named "Liuyuan", which was built in memory of Liu Jingting, a storyteller of Taizhou. Originally, the East and West Rivers extended southward with Chengnan Avenue between them, forming two bays, namely Dayuwan. According to legend, Dayuwan was the former residence of Liu, so Liuyuan was built on the east side of Dayuwan and the south bank of Chenghe River, with an area of about 5 mu, of which the water surface accounted for about 15 mu. After several years of operation, Liuyuan Garden has long been lush and lush, and the best thing is that the location is just right, which makes the garden arm in arm with a bend of Shui Bo, and the river outside the garden is surrounded by the garden. Common waterfowl fly and live, which is quite interesting. In addition, it is secluded and rarely traveled, and it has become a good place for occasional meditation and "solitude".
It's very meaningful to build a willow garden in memory of Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting, a storyteller from a civilian background, lived in the turmoil of dynasty changes in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and his life was legendary. Originally named Cao, he was originally from Caojiazhuang, Tangwan. When he was young, he was not bound by feudal ethics. He evaded capture and fled outside. Because he lived under a willow tree, he felt that his life was like catkins, so he changed his surname to Liu. After that, he told stories from Mohou Optics, became familiar with the life of all walks of life and local dialects and customs, and traveled around Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places all his life. Liu's storytelling skills are skillful and well documented. In Liu Jingting's Storytelling in Tao An Meng Yi written by Zhang Dai, I heard that Wu Song killed the tiger in white. "Its description and depiction were slightly unscathed ... It was like a giant bell, and it was said to the tendon, screaming and screaming, and the house collapsed. Wu Song went to the store to sell wine, and there was no one in the store. Suddenly, the empty jars in the store were all audible. " Huang Zongxi also said in Liu Jingting's Biography: "Five local accents, good local customs, learning and learning." Send another sound, make people smell it, or be like a sword and an iron horse, quietly floating in the air; Or like the wind howling and the rain crying, the birds are sad and the animals are terrible. Hate of national subjugation, the sound of sandalwood is colorless ... "And so on. Liu is not only famous for telling the title of the book, but more valuable is that he is concerned about the country and the people, and Ren Xia is brave and arrogant. As Hou Chaozong said in Peach Blossom Fan, "He is a man of noble character, free and easy-minded, and storytelling is the other skill". Therefore, although he is dressed in cloth, he has been around the sages of the Ming Dynasty for the longest time and has a long life. He once joined Zuo Liangyu, a famous anti-Qing fighter, to join the army. Because of his ugly appearance, he was called "Pockmarked Willow" in the army. "He shook his head and lost his tongue, and his humor was mixed." Sit up with a lamp every evening and talk about the legacy of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. " After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he resumed his old business and told stories in the "Changyin Pavilion" on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. He missed his old country, borrowed from the past, and felt the vicissitudes of "White-haired Turtle Year talks about Tianbao". At one time, the famous people rushed to write poems and Zhang Zhi. He made friends with the gentlemen of the "Fu She" and was also very close to celebrities such as Qian Muzhai and Wu Meicun at that time. In Qian's poem "Zuo Ningnan's Portrait Song is Written by Liu Jingting", he praised "Xi Liupockmarked in front of the account, and the storytelling in the sea was wonderful. Long-term bowing can surprise the Han ancestors and he will die when he shakes his head." Wu Meicun's "Qin Yuan Chun Gifts Liu Jingting" "Chu and Han, Chen Sui game, the tongue is ridiculous. Who is true and false, laughing at the Confucian scholars' death, finalized the Spring and Autumn Annals ". Jingting is not only a storyteller, but also a patriotic man, which has been passed down through the ages. His former residence, Dayuwan, naturally becomes a resort that Taizhou people miss him.
Dayuwan originally had two bays, the east and the west, with weeping willows and reeds, and the fishing songs answering each other, with beautiful scenery. This is the "Nanhao Fishing Singing" in the ancient "Eight Scenes of Hailing". At the beginning of the Republic of China, there was Zhang's Garden in Xidayuwan, which was built by Taizhou calligrapher Zhang Yijun in the late Qing Dynasty. After liberation, it was gradually abandoned and ruined, and the surrounding factories continued to expand, so the scenery in the past was gone. Today, only Dongdayu Bay can be found vaguely, so Liuyuan was built here. In the park, willows are prominent in greening, with pine trees, bamboo forests and Metasequoia trees as the contrast, and weeping willows are planted all over the pond along the river to form a willow dike surrounded continuously inside and outside. Every spring and summer season, willow buds spit green, and willow branches are inextricably linked, which makes people think.
Although Liuyuan is good, it is a pity that Liuyuan has only outlined an outline so far, and the prototype has taken shape, but it has not been fully built. It was originally planned to build a memorial hall for Liu Jingting, a theater and pavilions in the park, as well as a stele gallery to engrave biographies and poems written by scholars and celebrities, making it another humanistic landscape in dongcheng river Scenic Area to reproduce history, echoing the Mei History Museum not far away and the Taoyuan to be built, and completing the cultural theme of Taizhou drama "Mei" (Mei Lanfang), "Liu Jingting" and "Peach" (Kong Shangren Unfortunately, today's Liuyuan is covered with duckweeds, the water is stagnant, and the path is overgrown with weeds. Although it is full of wild interests, it is too unkempt, ridiculous and lacking in details. There are still many Suzhou granite scattered in the garden. I asked about its origin, saying that it was an old thing left in the renovation of Pozi Street. It has a history of hundreds of years. It was moved here and paved stone paths in the garden, but it is still well used, but it has not been laid one by one. It is a great blessing that Liu Jingting is a fellow countryman with us. Liu Jingting and the culture related to Liu Jingting are unique cultural resources and tourism resources of Taizhou City and Taizhou people. Undoubtedly, we should make a big fuss based on this and deliberately add more points to today's Liuyuan, highlighting the characteristics of "Liu Jingting" and "Liu", making Liuyuan worthy of the name and making it a household name.
3. The rap art circles in China all respect Liu Jingting as a master. There were no electronic communication tools in ancient times, so storytellers were public figures who spread popular culture and commented on current events. Liu Jingting is a native of Taizhou, and his hometown is Dayuwan in the south of the city. In the 198s, Hou Baolin came here to interview Liu's remains, and repeatedly said to himself, "I'm looking for a Sect."
The Dayuwan originally extended southward for several hundred meters from the East River and the West River with Chengnan Avenue sandwiched between them, forming two bays, the East Bay and the West Bay. The scenery is unique, and the "Nanhao Fisherman Singing" in the ancient "Eight Scenes of Hailing" refers to this scene. Liujing Pavilion Park is also built here. There is quite a bit of interest in winding paths and ancient charm.
Liu Jingting, whose real name is Cao, was born in Caojiazhuang, Taizhou in the 15th year of Wanli, Ming Shenzong. When he was fifteen, he broke the law, was listed as the target of arrest, and was forced to flee from home. Because he likes listening to people tell stories, he learned to tell stories to make a living. When he was about 18 years old, he wandered to the south of the Yangtze River, took Jingting Mountain as his name, and pointed to the willow tree beside the road as his surname, and began his rap career. Liu Jingting is good at talking about books such as The Romance of the Western Han Dynasty, The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, The Outlaws of the Marsh, The Legend of Yue, etc. Liu Jingting traveled all over the country all his life and was good at making friends with local cultural celebrities, so there were many poems praising Liu among the people. Kong Shangren wrote him into Peach Blossom Fan.
At present, Liuyuan is located on the south bank of Chenghe River, surrounded by weeping willows and reeds. Trees in the garden are planted in forests, weeping willows are planted all over the river, forming a willow embankment surrounded by both inside and outside. The deeper you go into the garden, the denser the shade is. When you smell birds chirping and tourists whispering, it is really a good place to relax.
