In the circle of friends, I saw a small video of vibrato: a couple played three different instruments comfortably in the green mountains and green waters, the wife played the accordion, the fingering was skillful, the husband played the guitar, the mouth also played the harmonica, the husband sang with the woman, the foam of each other, the ease of playing, with tacit understanding, natural and smooth, vertical and horizontal, the leisure and comfort of life, in this kind of heart-to-heart resonance of the same frequency, it has become sound and color, tasteful, "This song should only be in the sky, the world can get a few times to smell", such a good song, Its name is "Chengdu".
That pure melody seems to be spotless and innate, but the joy of life is stubbornly carved in the bones, the city is looking, the mountains are tender, the joy is endless, the spirit is constant, such a situation also tells us that walking on the three hundred and sixty-five mile road, do not have to be so hurried, nor do you have to be so radiant, learn to accept the innocence and simplicity of life, do not live up to your own encounter or hear, because you hear, so you think, unconsciously, there are many pictures of Chengdu in front of you, full of your own yin thoughts.
That year, the sky was very blue, the wind was very light, the sun was very warm, we had the opportunity to wander in the streets and alleys of Chengdu, Wuhou Ancestral Hall, Xue Taojing, Baihuatan, Qingyang Palace, Wenshu Monastery, Zhaojue Temple, Wangjiang Tower, Wang Jian Tomb, Du Fu Caotang, etc., such as on the mountain vagina, overwhelmed, because of the time relationship, we can only endure the pain of love, in the choice to make a choice.
The first stop of the dominant punch card is definitely Du Fu Caotang. Not only because Du Fu is an immortal traffic master, but more importantly, it is inseparable from our lives, and the previous admiration for him only came from the words and lines of the poems, the so-called "a hundred smells are better than a sight", to be able to go to the field to see his food, clothing, housing and travel, and perhaps to feel the clarity of the purity and greatness. In December 759, Du Fu's family, who had been in turmoil during the Anshi Rebellion, finally arrived in Chengdu after all kinds of hardships. He began to live in the temple, and in the spring of the following year, with the help of relatives and friends, a hut was built on the banks of Huanhua Creek in the western suburbs. Having a place to live and live is equivalent to ending a wandering and uncertain life. The poet couldn't help but be overjoyed by this, smiling and smiling, words for the heart, poetry for the heartbeat, "Tang Cheng" waved, can be described as a wonderful pen and flowers: "Back Guo Tang into shades of white grass, Yuanjiang Road is familiar with the suburbs." Alder forest hinders the sun with wind leaves, caged bamboo and smoke droplets. For the time being, Fei Wu will count the number of children, and frequently yan Ding new nest. Others mistakenly compare Yang Xiongzhai, lazy and unintentional to make "Unto mockery"." It seems that the poet mainly writes from the environment, in fact, the hype of Yan Wei's green circle, the focus is precisely to highlight the difference of the caotang, although it cannot be compared with Yang Xiong's house, but it is almost the same in the poet's mind. Originally, the boat of life has reached the level of still water, do you know that the world is unpredictable, "the wind and rain come suddenly". In August 761, a sudden storm destroyed the weak huts. "The Song of the Hut Broken by the Autumn Wind": "In August, the autumn wind is angry, and the triple grass on my house is rolled." Mao Fei crosses the river and sprinkles the outskirts of the river, the high one hangs on the long forest tops, and the lower one floats to the sinking pond pass. The Nancun group of children deceived me old and weak, and could bear to face the thieves, and openly hugged Mao into the bamboo. His lips were dry and he returned to his staff and sighed. The Russian wind is fixed in the clouds and inky colors, and the desert turns to darkness in autumn. The cloth has been cold as iron for many years, and the delicate child is lying down and cracking. The bedside house leaks out of nowhere, and the rain feet are like numbness. Since the mourning chaos and less sleep, why is the long night wet?" Du Fu wrote this in great detail and concreteness, and such a tragic situation was not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster, an external unbearable, but also an internal sadness, and the ordinary days that had been painstakingly built up were destroyed in this way. Today's Du Fu Caotang was later rebuilt, it still looks relatively simple, compared with that year should be a lot better, the scene of that year is not known how many times to be simple, but no matter what, this is after all their own home! Suddenly hit hard by this, the mood is inevitably depressed, but at the same time that he encountered such an unbearable situation, he also worried about those who were even more unbearable than himself, perhaps he could understand the misfortune by experiencing misfortune, and he could better understand the pain after experiencing the pain, Du Fu did not sink into misfortune and pain, but crossed the misfortune and pain, worried about his family and country, loved Li Min, sacrificed himself and forgot himself, wanted to help the people, continued to light the lamp of hope, and shouted loudly with deep feelings: "Ande Guangsha is thousands of rooms, sheltering the world from the cold and happy"!
We circled around the grass hall a few times, but we had a special love for the Huanhua Creek next to us. A small stream meanders, meanders, flows quietly, sparkling, and the water is as green as a flawless emerald, smooth and smooth, gentle and feminine. In spring, the flowers here are full of flowers on both sides of the river, and the fragrance overflows all over the field... For Du Fu, who is in a difficult and difficult life, these should be important moments in the quiet of life, and it is also a place where he can steal a piece of tranquility and poetry. As long as you can find the remaining dreams through the fatigue of life, you can turn many momentary bursts of inspiration into good poems that have been recited for thousands of years: "A grass hall in the west of the Wanli Bridge, a hundred flowers and ponds are vicissitudes" ("Crazy Husband"), "Two yellow orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the blue sky" ("Absolute Sentence Three"), "Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently" ("Spring Night Happy Rain") and so on. If you translate these verses into modern lyrics, they are "The tears that have never flowed with the river, thank you for the love you gave me, I will not forget in this life and this life, thank you for the tenderness you gave me, and accompany me through that era." There is no doubt that these represent a series of warm moments in the string of lonely memories, the hard life and the solemn mood are slightly released in the sound of the strings. We look up and down, left and right, forward and back, is to hope to climb along this stream to climb Du Fu's inner mountain and river, as a kind of soul mate who embraces each other with deep affection, life is like a stream, the world is gentle, mellow as wine, and the aftertaste is endless.
After leaving Du Fu Caotang, we went directly to wuhou temple, which was also our choice. Because I have particularly liked the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" since I was a child, the person I admire the most is Zhuge Liang, "appointed to the defeated army, ordered to be in danger", grass boats borrow arrows, cleverly borrow the East Wind, divine opportunity, through the heavens and latitudes, almost omnipotent, omnipotent, as if fixing the needle of the sea god, nothing can escape the palm of his hand, in the words of Mr. Lu Xun, "Zhuge Liang is wise and close to the demon". He said in the "Table of Renunciation", "The subject is clothed and cultivates in Nanyang", which is the place where he "lived his whole life in a chaotic world, and did not seek to reach the princes", and it was also the place where "the former emperor did not treat his subjects as despicable, obscene and self-deprecating, and the three subjects in the grass". At that time, he had the opportunity to go to Xiangyang and made a special visit to Longzhong, which was the boundary line and watershed before and after he came out of the mountain. Zhuge Liang bowed down all his life, died and then made immortal merits for the foundation of the Shu kingdom, and after his death, he was posthumously honored by the later lord Liu Chan as the Marquis of Zhongwu, so he had the honorific title of Marquis of Wu or Marquis of Zhuge Wu. So when we understand his starting point, and then look back at his foothold, it is not only a reverence for his wisdom superman, but also a tribute to his personality. After arriving at the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, it was very interesting that I accidentally discovered the origin of "Yi" in my name. Zhuge Liang mentioned in the "Table of Teachers" that "Shi Zhong, Shi Lang Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc." Characters, my "Yi" is from "Fei Yi", he should be the first user to name this word, but also because of his name, many people have the opportunity to contact or recognize this word. Zhuge Liang spoke highly of these generals, and from the bottom of his heart, he recommended to the Lord: "These are all good and honest, and they are loyal and pure, and they are based on the former emperor Jian pulling up to leave His Majesty." Foolishly believing that the things in the palace are no big or small, and that they are consulted and then carried out, they will be able to fill in the gaps and benefit them."
Such a collective evaluation can be described as supreme, but I am not satisfied with it, and I hope to know more about the life trajectory of Fei Yi's character. So I found the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and turned it over, and found that Fei Yizi Wenwei was indeed a famous minister of shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, and when it was just shipped out of the Shu kingdom, the configuration was not low, and Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Dong Yun were called the four phases of Shu Han. Because he was humble and sincere, astute, and deeply respected by Zhuge Liang, he repeatedly sent envoys to Eastern Wu, and in the face of difficulties in the face of resignation, he always became a bamboo in his chest, and his tongue fought with Confucianism, "one person's debate is heavier than the treasure of the Nine Dings, and the tongue of three inches is stronger than that of a million male soldiers"; later, Wei Yan and Yang Yi were at odds with the two generals, the arrows were on the string, the swords were drawn, and Fei Yi painstakingly advised, and the two sides protected each other, mediated harmony, and made every use of them. In the late Shu dynasty, the first as a rear military division, then as a Shang Shu Ling, an official to a general, Jiang Wei was still determined to continue the Northern Expedition, Fei Yi ruled within the territory of no one, the country was not real, resolutely advocated the policy of rest and recuperation, and devoted himself to the development of Shu Han. Such a high-profile life experience, but also diligent and thrifty, honest and self-disciplined, it should be said that there is a reputation! I don't know why my parents chose this "word" to name it, maybe they learned something from watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". I think they may not have considered a lot at that time, let alone have no sense of copyright, take it and use it, use it again. This time, since I had the opportunity to come to the Wuhou Ancestral Temple, I should go to the statue of the people to worship. After finding the place, I also made a special pose, specifically pointing at him, that means that I dared to borrow a word from your old man's home, used it for free for decades, and will continue to use it in the future, and I would like to express my sincere respect and heartfelt thanks!
Chengdu people drink idle, drink tea, they love to drink tea is famous. There is an old saying: "There are many yamen in Beijing, many shops in Shanghai, many shops in Guangzhou, and many tea houses in Chengdu." "Some people even liken the whole of Chengdu to a teahouse. The tea house is indeed a scenery of the city, and it is also the most comfortable happy time for Chengdu people. Chengdu originally belonged to the ancient Liang Prefecture, the Qin Dynasty has become a metropolis of the country, the Eastern Han Dynasty merged into Yunnan-based Yizhou, where the environment is superior, the climate is suitable, beautiful and rich, the style is unique, known as "the country of Tianfu", "Shuzhong Jiangnan", "Shuzhong Suzhou and Hangzhou". Song Hongmai said in the "Essays of Rong Zhai": "The proverb is called Yang YiYi Two, which is the prosperity of the world, and Yang is one and Shu is second." It seems that the life here has been rich since ancient times, especially the flower tea that spreads over the mountains, and it directly exercises the tea drinking habits of Chengdu people, which has been continued from ancient times to the present.
Flower tea is infiltrated with spring and autumn, and drinking tea becomes the color of their time and traces of life. Love is boundless, but life is very measured. One is to have leisure. We see that the tea house is often full, most of them are elderly, they take the tea drinking matter very seriously, and do not hesitate to take a lot of time to squander here, fragrant and strong Chengdu flower tea, flushed seven or eight times the water is no harm, half a day can be passed. On holidays, it is even more crowded, not only many elderly people continue to soak in the museum, but also many young people join in, as if they have become a huge force. The second is leisure. In the fast-paced society, with the accelerated operation of the flow of people, logistics, and information flow, many people in a hurry have been born, And Chengdu people are also wrapped up in it without exception, they will certainly not be willing to live behind people, but unlike people, in the tense work, they will frequently launch countless leisure cells, acting arbitrarily in their own bodies, so even if the work is busy, they will find time to soak the museum. The third is idle talk. Since you just like to drink tea, isn't it the same at home? Of course, they also drink at home, the family sits around, the lights are amiable, the tea is boiled slowly, the time is leisurely, and they are not happy, but after the family goes to work, many elderly people highlight the thinness, even loneliness, drink a cup of tea, recall a period of time, can only talk with the past, it must be very monotonous, it is also more boring, and even compete with themselves, but once they arrive at the tea house, the situation is completely different, and the atmosphere is different. Throat licking bowl tea steep rise specification, tea set must be a tea bowl, tea cover, tea boat three heads, indispensable, complement each other, by constantly adding tea and water, all kinds of fancy, a variety of gimmicks, a steady stream, endless, so in the eyes of Chengdu people, only in love with the tea house, can be regarded as the true sense of love tea. It should be said that I like to drink tea and chat in the tea house, and I am recognized as a pie that goes deep into the bone marrow of Chengdu people. "A bowl of clear tea with sunshine, two or three gossip about the old time", if it is an old tea friend together, it is "tea" every confidant thousand cups less, if it is a plain life, you can also meet friends with tea, emotional seconds rise, as if old friends reunite. I like to appreciate this kind of tea drinking scene, but I am more concerned about the attitude of enjoying life and the comfortable mentality behind this, yesterday is like this, today is like this, tomorrow may still be like this, as if every inch of the soul of Chengdu people is full of leisurely, picturesque, in full swing. Life should not have waited for others to arrange, the days are their own, should be their own masters, but Chengdu people know how to live, good at life, enjoy life, even if they encounter unpleasant days, they will try their best to search for all the remaining tenderness, still will soak life fragrant!
Every city has its own old street, Chengdu is no exception, wide and narrow alleys are the true portrayal of old Chengdu, began to turn hutongs into alleys, and later turned alleys into streets. There was originally no difference between the two alleys, but because of the urban survey in the Republic of China period, the slightly wider alleys were marked as "wide alleys", and the narrower alleys became "narrow alleys". The width may not be how wide, but the width can be wide, wide sitting, and wide heart, and the narrowness may not be how narrow, but after the narrowness, there are narrow roads to meet the brave to win, and there are narrow alleys to meet the lovers. It can be said that between the wide and wide, the narrow and the wide, the narrow and the wide, the wide and the narrow, the narrow and the wide, everywhere is full of philosophical speculation and the aesthetics of life. Wide and narrow alley is the habitat of the soul, but also the shelter of emotion, "thirsty, tired, come to the wide narrow alley to rest their feet", the focus of coming here is to shield all unhappiness, but also to adjust the happy volume to the maximum, deafening!
The wide alley is full of four-way food, as soon as you walk in, you obviously feel that people come and go, dazzling, as if the days of the well were cut by a knife, stalls, corners and corners, what you hear is noisy, what you see is colorful, the two sides are full of all kinds of snacks, fireworks are very strong, very concentrated, very authentic, very peaceful, chengdu life in history is like this, many times that have long been forgotten, here has been very kindly salvaged, but also can be icing on the cake, In turn, it can be interpreted more vividly. Seeing many foods we have can not be named, only through the billboard, we know that there are oil tea, twist flowers, skimmers, cold powder, fat intestines, wake up bad, dan dan noodles, copper pot noodles, shiyou noodles, egg baked cakes, steamed cakes, pea cakes, three cannons, leaf rice dumplings, flower cakes, pearl balls, small steamed buns, sugar oil fruits and so on. Here seems to be a place of chicken feathers but into the wood three points, everywhere there is a taste but swinging intestines, eat a bowl of human fireworks, drink a few cups of life ups and downs, the years are quiet, live up to the Fanghua, Chengdu people can find their own feelings here, outsiders can also find the feeling of Chengdu people here, here every day that has not danced, it means a failure to live up to life.
Although we have already eaten dinner, but we still salivate after seeing more, if we come, we will taste it, and we will not eat it at all, how can we stand up to such a variety of delicacies? Finding such a justified reason also allows you to feast on your mouth and become at ease. However, considering the limited bearing, it can only be carefully selected and tasted a little. After eating, I can feel the local flavor. Suddenly seeing the Mountain Bookstore, it turned out that from material to spiritual is also a step away, almost a realistic version of Maslow's progressive hierarchy of needs. See the mountain bookstore name is very large, the façade is very small, the door is very high, the house is very bright, illuminating every difficult corner, all kinds of books piled up, follow the good temptation, from shallow to deep, neatly arranged, orderly. We wandered back and forth inside a few times, found a few books we wanted, paid for them, and took them, and then walked out of the bookstore satisfied. Just at this time, I was captured by a colleague, he said that only in this state, the shooting will be natural, but after opening the photo album, it is not without regret that the plastic bag in my hand is obstructive, so I put down the plastic bag, after repeated aiming, and carefully re-photographed. In fact, I think the first one is good, and it is also very real! Wouldn't it be more logical to buy books and have a bag in your hand? But considering the conscientious and responsible spirit of my colleagues, I still obeyed his request, but still asked him to pass the first photo to me, which has not been deleted and is still in the mobile phone.
In the narrow alleys, green tiles, willow moss, courtyards, high gate buildings, low walls, flower wall skirts, stone slab roads, past and present, history and fashion, the sense of heavenly spirit, the lower dipping air, crisscrossing in a variety of forms of courtyard culture, the memory of the years, so it becomes vivid. It is said that in the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1718 AD), the Qing government sent troops to quell the Dzungar Rebellion, and built the city on the basis of the lesser city in Chengdu that year, that is, a full city for the Eight Banner Soldiers and their families. With the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, mancheng is no longer a forbidden area, many foreign merchants took the opportunity to open pawn shops, a large number of qi family property, after the Xinhai Revolution, some high-ranking officials and nobles also flocked to this place to set up camp, many unique courtyards are mostly concentrated in narrow alleys.
There is a garden in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, a tree in the yard, a sky on the tree, a moon in the sky, and a person under the moon. In this poetic place, the most important thing that should happen is the story of love. "Hold up the umbrella to pick up the falling flowers, watch the west wind ride a thin horse, who can see through the flowing xia for me, is the prince you?" Reading such a sentence, you will suddenly enter the courtyard of the narrow alley. Talented and beautiful people are still like this, and handsome men and beautiful women are even more so! I once saw a business war film called "Intimate Enemy", which included a lot of Chengdu and narrow alleys. Xu Jinglei plays a girl in Chengdu, Huang Lixing is a boy who pursues Chengdu girls, they have changed from lovers holding hands in the love field to face-to-face opponents in the workplace, tit-for-tat, intriguing, no matter who the deer dies, it will eventually lose both, but in their hearts they carefully collect the memories of old Chengdu: Huang Lixing carries Xu Jinglei on his back in the narrow alley, they qingqing me and me in the antique courtyard, such a touch of red in the years, dotted the spring and autumn of the old street, did not expect, The moment when love is about to be extinguished, they shatter their once beautiful fanghua, fortunately, they still remember the time of their love, or recognize each other from their souls, meet each other and smile and hate, from the "enemy" of confrontation to the "partner" of cooperation. The good relationship between love and being loved in a narrow alley was still exchanged for a happy ending with a good full moon.
But what is expressed in the song "Chengdu" is not a happy ending, but a kind of lost parting. Because of a person, so fall in love with a city, because I fall in love with a city, so I fall in love with a song, "The difference is always in September, the memory is the sorrow of missing", "Chengdu, only you can't take away", although I have only been to Chengdu twice, the time is relatively short, but it has been unforgettable, precipitating memories. Suddenly heard the couple's affectionate performance, touching the situation, affectionate, inexplicable sentimentality, distant thoughts, and struck the heart, "thoughts are a very mysterious thing, like shadows", sneaking into the night with the wind, the spring wind blows and grows again...
