"There is a spring breeze on the apricot branches, and Shili Smoke Village is all red." In the warm March, the apricot blossom village is full of spring flowers, and the blossoming apricot blossoms are like the smile of nature, which brightens the whole circle of friends.

singing folk songs in Xinghua village

Xinghua village, which was pointed out by a shepherd boy thousands of years ago, has now become a cultural tourist attraction. The years have changed, and the ancient village has changed a lot. Fortunately, the Records of Xinghua Village compiled by Yi people during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty has been preserved, so that we can travel through time and relive the scene of that year according to the words.

Records of Xinghua Village

Xinghua Village is located outside Xiushan Gate, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, with the city near Ququ and the mountain near the river. During the reign of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, Du Muxing, a secretariat, was caught in the rain in spring, and wrote the poem Qingming, which has been passed down through the ages and is well-known to all women and children: it rains in the Qingming period, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. It expresses the poet's feelings of wandering in the spring outing in the rain and thinking about drinking to eliminate his worries with popular and natural language and beautiful and implicit artistic conception. Poetry is passed down from village to village, and poetry is also passed down from village to village, making Xinghua Village famous and lasting forever. The beautiful scenery of the village makes people forget to return. According to legend, "There are more than 1, apricot flowers in the heyday, even ten miles in the village, which dazzles the audience and wins the scenery sincerely." Celebrities and poets of all ages competed to visit the secluded places and win, and even the woodcutter sang and sang.

Lang Sui is like

In the 13th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Lang Sui (1654-1739), a 2-year-old native of Xinghua Village, compiled twelve volumes of Records of Xinghua Village after eleven years of hard work, and in the Qianlong period, as the only village record in China, he earned the General Catalogue of the Imperial Collection of Siku Books. Lang Sui, as an outstanding writer of local chronicles, recorded in detail the history, scenic spots, establishment, historical sites, figures, poems and other aspects of Xinghua Village, and also described in detail the twelve scenic spots of Xinghua Village: Pingtian Chunzhang, Baipu Hefeng, Xixiang Yanyu, Tea Field Mailang, Santai Sunset, Living in Yun Song Moon, Huanggong Jiugeng, Tiefo Zen Forest, Zhaoming Academy, etc.

Xinghua Village is known as "the first poetry village in the world", and the poems of scholars from all over the world are like a spring. According to the Records of Xinghua Village, the poem Qingming comes out, and scholars of all ages come in droves, tracking the footsteps of the poet Du Mu, singing about the scenery and personnel of Xinghua Village, and writing nearly a thousand poems, lyrics and poems, accounting for two-thirds of the book's weight. The forms of poetry are divided into seven-character quatrains, five-character quatrains, five-character ancient poems, seven-character ancient poems, five-rhythm, seven-rhythm, five-character arrangement, etc., which fully embodies the cultural characteristics of Chizhou's "land of poets for thousands of years", and people who come here are almost all over the country.

"I haven't seen the spring appointment for a long time, but I'm out of Guo Hang today. Apricot flowers fly for rain, and smoke flutes are heard far away. Where the old traces are found, the east wind is warm and sudden. The wine cellar is still drunk, leaning on the moon. " Cao Tian You, a native of Guichi in Yuan Dynasty, wrote this poem about the prosperity of Xinghua Village at that time. "When the festival was neutralized, Li Dongfeng Yan Kirara. It' s good to do the best in the hills and spring trees, and it' s late and refreshing. " This poem by Dai Yi, a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty, describes the interest of searching for ancient scenery in Xinghua Village during the Zhonghe Festival.

"Wind and frost come to the ancient road, which belongs to Ma Xinghua Village. May I ask the shepherd boy, can the restaurant still exist?" This is a poem written by Yang Hongqi, a native of Puzhou, Shanxi Province in the Qing Dynasty. From this poem, we can see that in the early winter, the poet came from afar. Although the flowers on the branches of apricot trees have faded, he still wants to dismount and ask the shepherd boy if there is a restaurant in the village. Xinghua village is so implicated in the poet's heart; "A thousand-year-old poet, there is no flower in this village. Maolin is still in the hotel, and the grass is from Chai Men. " Jiangxi Buyi Yang Sen's poem summarizes the characteristics of Chizhou-a poet's land for thousands of years, and also describes the depression of Xinghua Village in the Qing Dynasty ... In the fourth year of the Republic of China, Hu Zizheng, a famous scholar in Guichi, compiled and published three volumes of Continued Records of Xinghua Village, which is an addendum to Lang Sui's Records of Xinghua Village, and included a large number of poems singing about Xinghua Village and some prose works about Xinghua Village.

The Continued Records of Xinghua Village

The Records of Xinghua Village not only records many poems, but also has the beauty of pavilions and temples, the traces of restaurants, villas and poets, as well as fine wine: "The red trees in front of you leave the words of warblers, and the fragrance outside the curtain falls on the mud." On that day, Fan Chuan pointed to the place, and people were drunk every year. "

Huanggong Guangrun Yuquan

Xinghua Village produces fine wine because an ancient well-Xiangquan Well, also known as Huanggong Guangrun Yuquan, is located in the scenic spot of Huanggong Liquor Store today. According to legend, spring fragrance is like wine, which is inexhaustible. Next to it is the inscription "Du Ci Shi Xing Chun Chu" by Yin Li Qiyang of Ming Dynasty.

On the west side of Xiangquan Well, the Baiyang River comes from the south, flows from the bridge to the north, and reaches the great river directly ... "Xiangquan Well is spreading the message of Huang Zu, but I love the temple and miss Du Gong". Now Xiangquan Well is still there, but the poet Du Mu can only be remembered from a distance.

qiupu river

overlooking Xinghua village, it is lush, with Duwu in the north of the village, the beach is shaded by green trees, and fishing boats occasionally pass through the qiupu river. Qiupu River, which originated in shitai county, is the mother river of Chizhou people, with a total length of 18 kilometers and flows through Xinghua Village for 16 kilometers. Poet Li Bai lived in Qiupu, leaving seventeen songs of Qiupu, so Qiupu River is also known as "the river with poems". "Qiupu looks like autumn, and this meaning is forever. The lake is clear in autumn and the four mountains are secluded. " Lang Sui's poems sum up the quietness of the ancient Xinghua Village along the Qiupu River.

Baipu Hefeng

Entering the village along the north entrance of Xinghua Village, the "Baipu Hefeng" archway comes into view. Baipu Hefeng is the second of the twelve scenic spots in Xinghua Village, and the inscription on the archway is a collection of calligraphy by Tang Bohu, a great painter of the Ming Dynasty. His calligraphy is fantastic and handsome, free and easy, which conforms to the immediate scenery.

Baipu Wharf

Baipu, that is, Baipuwei, the name of the lake in front of the village, was originally built along the bank of Pingtian Lake. Lotus is planted in the water, and reeds are planted all over the ridge. Every summer, lotus flowers send incense; In autumn, the patches of reeds on the bank of the bank are weak and fluttering with the wind. As the saying goes, "the autumn wind suddenly turns white and the reeds on the bank are scattered."

the autumn wind suddenly rises, and the head of the stream is white

It goes west along the road, which is a beautiful rural scenery and endless Tang style tea rhyme. The tea village in Tang Dynasty is surrounded by mountains and lakes. There are several thatched sheds, tea kiosks and earthen houses. Tea artists are performing the Tang Dynasty tea ceremony for tourists. Tea ferry, a leaf of old boat, a quaint courtyard next to the ferry, inscribed with "tea Buddha blindly" The way of tea follows nature, the method of Buddhism follows fate, and the tea Buddha blindly follows nature, which not only refers to the blending and development of food culture and religious culture, but also embodies the thought of "pulling out the ignorant weeds and looking forward to the mysterious wind of Buddha".

Tang Tea Village

There is a Wenxuan Building on the left side of the courtyard. Wenxuan Building, also known as Wenxuan Pavilion, was originally behind Wenxiao Temple. Wenxiao Temple is located in the west of Chizhou, so the local people also call it the West Temple. It was originally the palace and sleeping hall of Prince Xiao Tong of Liang Zhaoming. As the years passed, the wind invaded and the rain eroded. According to the catalogue of Guancun Records, in ancient times, behind Wenxiao Temple, there were green hills, towering ancient trees, bamboo trees, Lin Jing birds, travelers and monks, during which they enjoyed recreation. Unfortunately, they have all fallen. The reconstruction of Wenxuan Building in Xinghua Village is to re-mark a symbol and rewrite a memory. The main building of Wenxuan is the place where Wenxuan is stored. Today, Wenxuan Building is decorated with a statue of Prince, but Wenxuan is not seen. "Qiu Pu Lou Guo Wenxuan Lou, along with Liang Shengji in Chizhou. Looking closely at everything is empty, it is not as good as leaving the surname ",which is the best interpretation of the text to carry the Tao.

Wenxuan Building

Shili Bridge and Xixiang Bridge in the village span Xinghua Creek. There are many waterwheels in the creek that have no practical function, but they are a sight in the village. When they turn, they creak, as if telling an ancient story that once happened in the village, among which the story of peeping into the garden makes people think.

A bird's eye view of Xinghua Village

A glimpse of the Garden, a descendant of Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar in Han Dynasty, was founded by Dong Mo, a scholar in Zhangzhou in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. Hanshu records that Dong Zhongshu was absorbed in his studies when he was young, and he didn't have time to enjoy the scenery in the garden for three years. Dong Mo, on the other hand, "is effective, saying,' I peep with my own eyes and learn from my ancestors' ignorance." "Dong Moxiao imitates his ancestors' devotion and studies hard, but he doesn't forget to enjoy the scenery outside the window. Not only to "peek at the Garden", but also to build this garden, and also invited Huizhou Lv Xieya to write an article "Peeping at the Garden on the Lake and Mountain", saying that he was here "looking up at the mountains, looking down at the lake, listening to bamboo trees and marbles ... singing high and reading deeply, learning to scream", "exploring the secluded by faith, looking far at the eyes ... and taking all the things with a clear taste" It is a model of learning and life.

Overlooking Zhuohu Caotang

"Zhuohu Caotang" was originally Dong Zixiu's study, so it was named because of the sentence "Looking up at the mountain and overlooking the lake" in Peeping into the Garden, and facing Xixiang Lake. Zhuohu Caotang, with Tang architectural style, is now an exhibition hall for the folk customs, history and culture of Xinghua Village, which mainly displays the folk culture of Xinghua Village and historical classics related to Xinghua Village. Here, you can not only enjoy the precious cultural relics collection of Xinghua Village, but also exchange tea and splash ink. In the exhibition area of historical classics, the most precious is the "Selected Works" published by You Mao in Guichi in the eighth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty.

You Mao's Postscript of Zhaoming Selected Works in Chiyang County

Prince Xiao Tong of Zhaoming has a close relationship with Guichi, which is the prince's fief, and the name "Guichi" was given by Xiao Tong. After the Tang Dynasty, the literati became officials in the imperial examination, and the Selected Works was a required subject. There was a folk proverb that "The Selected Works was bad, but only a scholar was half". Appreciating these precious collections, we can not only appreciate the ancient historical accumulation, rich cultural heritage and unique village customs, but also marvel at the rich historical and cultural roots of Xinghua Village.

interior of Mu Zhi building

Tang poetry has been handed down for thousands of years, and Xing Village is famous all over the world! In order to commemorate Du Mu, the people of Xinghua Village built the "Mu Zhi Building" in the village, and its name was derived from "Du Mu, the word Mu Zhi, the number of Fan Chuan lay man". It mainly shows Du Mu's origins, poems and essays with Chizhou and Xinghua Village. In the building, the bronze statue of Du Mu frowned and looked up with his head held high. The figures who were worried about the country and the people and depressed were vivid and vivid. The background of the statue is an enlarged copy of Du Mu's only original calligraphy, Zhang Haohao's Poem Volume, which is vigorous and powerful, and because it is a poem draft, it is even more unpretentious. The endless stream of tourists here has become an important scenic spot in Xinghua Village.

Huanyuan

There are two gardens in the village: Huanyuan and Qiyuan.

Huan Garden was the residence of Lang Wenshao, a doctor appointed by the Song Dynasty, who lived in seclusion in Xinghua Village when he entered the Yuan Dynasty. Lang gradually became a noble family in Xinghua Village. Later, Lang built several houses on the abandoned Huanyuan site to inherit the past. In this ancient house, Lang worked for eleven years to compile the Records of Xinghua Village. Lang Sui's father, Lang Biguang, built the "Huanpu Hall" here, and since then, he has been a scholar, and there are 12 kinds of books written by Huanpu Hall, which have been handed down from generation to generation. He has a great influence on Lang Sui's compilation of records.

Bird's-eye view of the rest garden

The rest garden was originally called the rest garden, and the Records of Xinghua Village contained "the reading office of Chen Yiyun, a former township leader". "Half village and half Guo Jing Lu, after the rain, the new sunny meaning is comfortable. The smoke is light and the trees are bright, and the garden vegetables grow slowly. " Nowadays, the Xiyuan Garden is no longer full of gardens and vegetables, but it is a good place for tourists to have tea and rest ...

Cool Scenery

The Records of Xinghua Village records that there were many historical sites in the village in those days, but only a few remain: Xiangquanjing, Cool Scenery, Jieer Spring, Duzhufang towering in front of the original filial piety temple, stone sister-in-law, etc. These remains show people the Xinghua Village in those days. Xinghua Village is spread because of Lang Sui's Records of Xinghua Village. The years have changed and the vicissitudes have changed greatly. Chizhou people should always remember this "old man in Xinghua Village".

Tangcha village is near the mountain and the lake

It is near dusk. Smoke billows from the kitchen in Xinghua Village, and fishing fires are lit by the Qiupu River. Year after year, time carves the village, and the life of the ancients is gone, but the misty rain, lush vegetation, fragrant apricot flowers and warm willow wind remain.

Cherry Blossom Garden

Green water flows around the village, full of flowers, and you can still feel the fragrance of poetry when you walk on the flagstone road with the fragrance of flowers. The mellow fragrance of wine stretches for a long time. On the bank of Qiupu River, where poetry is flowing, "the first poetry village in the world" has passed through thousands of years.
