Lonely Mountain
Why is it called Lonely Mountain? It is a lonely mountain. On the north bank of the Yangtze River and the Central Jiangsu Plain, it is the only mountain. For 2.5 million years, it has been changing, from a reef in the sea to an isolated island in the Yangtze River, and finally to the land of the Jingjiang River.
There is a historical story about Jingjiang called "Horse Riding Sand", and it is said that this is a vast ocean, and the soil here is driven by the white horse of Jiangxin little by little. Although Ma Dasha is a legend, Jingjiang is indeed related to horses. In the past, Jingjiang was still a small island in the heart of the river, where The Eastern Wu Emperor Sun Quan herded military horses.
The big river goes east, the waves and sand are exhausted, and the lonely mountain has witnessed the transformation of the Jingjiang River from scratch, from small to large, and naturally has become a sacred mountain in the minds of the Jingjiang people. Teacher Qi Zhi said that when he was a child, the thing he was most looking forward to was to go up the lonely mountain and visit the temple fair with his friends on March three.
Following Teacher Qi Zhi to the foot of the mountain, many stalls are placed with a unique clay sculpture: mud dogs, that is, puppies made of mud, can blow out sounds.
"We don't just buy the shape of the dog, we buy its sound. This soil is the soil peculiar to the Lonely Mountain, and it is mixed with water, mixed with fire, and mixed with imagination, and then blown up, and our childhood is bright. Teacher Qi Zhi tried it, and the whistle was loud.
In the dexterous hands of Master Qian, a provincial non-hereditary heir, he pinched out the authentic mud dog of Jingjiang.
A crisp whistle made Teacher Qi Zhi return to his childhood, and it was as if he heard the sound of the lonely mountain.
Crab yellow soup buns
Next, the most authentic Jingjiang delicacy to be tasted is: crab yellow soup buns.
Speaking of soup buns, the famous Master Tao Jinliang must come forward. Open the window first, then drink the soup, and then a little ginger to dispel the cold, and dip a little vinegar to make it more delicious.
For the people of Jingjiang, eating soup buns is not only to taste its deliciousness, but also to eat a sense of ceremony. For the soup bag master, any leak of soup is a failure. But how does the soup of the soup buns come in?
Xilai Town
After feasting, he followed Teacher Qi Zhi all the way to the east to his birthplace, Xilai Town. Why is it called Xilai, because the land of Jingjiang is slowly coming from the west to the east, that is, the mouth of the Yangtze River is slowly moving to the east, so it is called Xilai.
"Our hometown has changed a lot, I come back often, and every time I see a difference, it's really turned upside down from the scene when I was a child." Like how our past lives manifest themselves in the new era, everywhere is looking for ways to do this article. Xilai Town made an agricultural museum in this place. ”
"At that time, when I was building this garden, I was thinking about what words to use on the lintel. Later, when I was asked, I said, don't think about it, the old ancestors have thought about it for us, and the above is 'Return to the Garden and Rural Residence'. The lintel when going out is called "no slack in time." Time is not slack, from "Chinese" - when there is no slack, the time does not come again. Heaven does not take what is given, but instead it becomes a disaster. The ancestors were an agrarian society, and work and life were done according to the seasons. ”
Return to the garden and live in the field, and there is no slack in time. The eight characters not only contain the elegance of the ancients, but also reflect the diligence of the ancestors, which can be said to be the best footnote of farming culture. Walking into the farming hall, a series of strange agricultural tools are very strange to me as a post-90s generation, but in the eyes of Qi Zhi, a post-60s teacher, these rusty tools carry his childhood memories.
In Xilai, ancient agricultural tools have long been replaced by modern machinery and gradually withdrawn from people's lives. But Teacher Qi Zhi told me that there is an equally ancient folk art in his hometown, which is still spread among the people, and it is a national intangible cultural heritage project - the Jingjiang Sermon.
The quaint singing voice is integrated with laughter and anger, and the classic story is full of human sorrow and joy, which is the precious legacy left to us by the ancient Jingjiang River. What are the stories of the Jingjiang Treasure Scroll? Watch tonight's "Travel Around Jiangsu" and listen to what Teacher Liu said
Garden
Leaving Xilai Town, we went to a recently created garden, LiYuan. Walking into here, the landscape is beautiful, the trees are reflected in each other, as if you are in a paradise.
Liyuan is dense and dense, and the three factions are one, which is the essence of the Hui school, the Su school, and the Yang school. The garden covers an area of more than 600 acres, this area is called Yunshui Mazhou, Mazhou is the name of the ancient Jingjiang.
In Liyuan, you can not only appreciate the atmosphere of Huipai architecture, but also appreciate the exquisite scenery of Yangpai, and also feel the elegance of Supai garden. Pavilions and water pavilions, easy to move, every grass and tree reflects the elegance of the Jingjiang people.
"Nostalgia, it is real, it is both an emotion, it is also a kind of seeing things and thinking about people, or seeing people thinking about things. People and things further blend together and approach, which in turn further generates nostalgia for our past lives. But we miss the past life, or to face the future, in the past life we walked a circle, more appreciate the difficulty of our ancestors to create a better life. Also aware of their responsibilities. ”
I believe that you can also feel the pure heart of Teacher Qi Zhi for his hometown, and at the same time, you can also feel the charm of Jingjiang culture. If you want to have the same experience as us, you may wish to come to Jingjiang for a good time.
