Until the ugly, in the middle of winter, on the banks of the Fenhe River, the blue waves are rippling. I ended the week of intense study at the Shanxi Judges Training Institute and invited several fellow travelers to Fenhe Park to look for the Wild Goose Hill that I had been thinking about for many years.
Speaking of Yanqiu, probably everyone in the Chinese literary and art circles should know it. Yuan hao asked a song "Touch the fish. "Yanqiu Words" has left a strong mark on the literary hall of aria loyal love. It can be called a song of eternity, no ancients before, no one after! It is really a snare to break the amphibious dream, and the world is obsessed with solitude! Therefore, visiting Yanqiu has become a long-cherished wish of mine for many years.
When I was young, I watched the TV series "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" adapted from Qiong Yao's novel, and in addition to chasing the drama, the theme song of plum blossom three alleys sung by Jiang Yuheng deeply touched me, making my heart fluctuate, I could not calm down for a long time, and I felt a sigh of relief for the fate of the protagonist. "Red Dust has its own infatuation, and Mo Xiao is too obsessed with it." If it weren't for the cold bones, the plum blossoms would be fragrant. Asking what the world is, only teach life and death to agree. Look at how many stories in the world, the most soul-destroying plum blossom three lanes. "This theme song, I don't know how many young boys and girls have been dumped, some people have been moved by it, and even some people have martyred for it. As everyone knows, the most emotional language in the theme song: "Ask what the world is, and only teach people to live and die." "It comes from Yuan Haoqing's "Yanqiu Words". Coincidentally, Mr. Jin Yong, who is known as one of the four masters of Chinese martial arts novels, in "Divine Eagle Heroes", tells that Guo Jing raised two eagles, one of which was injured and died in a fight, and the other did not want to live alone, fell to the ground and committed suicide. This plot design and allusion also comes from the poignant story of "Yanqiu Words". Therefore, understanding Yuan haoqing and visiting Yanqiu naturally become the pursuit of a literary lover.
We drove together and arrived at Taiyuan Fenhe Park at noon. At that time, there were fewer people and tourists exercising, sparse, and three or three. The weather is cloudy and sunny, but it does not feel cold, suitable for outdoor sports. We traveled back to our roots, wandering in the arms of the Mother River, admiring the clear water of the Fenhe River. The city's tall buildings are reflected on the slowly flowing river, giving the illusion that the buildings are also advancing; The water flows through the platform where the sediment precipitates in the middle of the river, and the sound of the water of the Fenhe River rushing out, reproducing the glory of yesterday in "People Say The Good Scenery of Shanxi". The Fenhe River is the mother river of our Shanxi, driving straight from north to south, flowing into the ancient land of Hezhou, nourishing the sons and daughters of the Three Jins, and once achieving generations of princes and generals, writing the history of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years.
We looked for geese mounds along the east bank of the Fenhe River, and on the turquoise river, a pair of egrets were playing, pecking at their bodies, shaking their wings, and from time to time they looked at each other and whispered, as if pouring out their love for each other; A young woman, gently pushing a wheelchair, caring for her kite-flying lover, walking, chatting, smiling at the same time, and jointly interpreting their love story; A group of middle-aged and elderly winter swimmers, accompanied by their families, bathed in the cold river water, did a few freestyle movements and quickly got up ashore. The entire bank of the Fenhe River presents a dynamic picture and a world of love, which contrasts sharply with the quiet distant mountains and towering high-rise buildings. At this time, the distant mountains, high-rise buildings, Fenhe River, tourists, birds, kites, under the same sky, man and nature coexist in harmony, is this not exactly a new era of yanqiu words composed by modern people?
Along the east bank of the Fenhe River, we continued to search patiently. Walk through the curved Yongdao Road, through the South Central Bridge with flying frames, step on the colorful fallen leaves, all the way forward, all the way to discover, all the way to appreciate. One companion said, "It should be almost here!" It's near here!" Each of us quickened the pace of searching, looking around, not sparing any of our goals. At this time, everyone's eyes are like eagles, precise and sharp, scanning and filtering everything around them. My mood was also extremely excited, and I seemed to be in a hurry, rushing to the front of my companions. Suddenly, a companion walked toward a nearby pine forest, shouting, "Goose Hill, found it—found it!" Then, we all ran over almost at the same time.
It turned out that on the right side of the "Fenhe Late Crossing" scenic spot, there was a small mound covered with pines and cypresses, which was not too high above the ground level, and two stones were placed, nestled tightly against each other. Facing the Fenhe River, a large piece is estimated to weigh several tons, and the upper front is engraved with two large red calligraphy characters of "Yanqiu", and the back is engraved with Yuan Haoqing "Touching Fish." Yanqiu Words", the whole text is written in cursive, the pen is steady, and the line is like flowing water; The smaller piece next to the back is inseparable and hugging each other. These two stones, obviously not the stones marked by the tomb after Yuan Haoqing buried a pair of geese, are far from being done by hand. I heard that it is a cultural attraction restored in the planning of the Fenhe River Scenic Area in Taiyuan City in recent years to increase the taste of the city. The goose hill, which has been obliterated by time, has been rebuilt as a record, and the hill has been built into a scenery. Although it is newly built, it can also think of the humor of the ancients and pin people's yearning for loyal love!
Standing next to Yanqiu, I involuntarily silently recited this poem: "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to be promised?" The sky is south and the north are double flyers, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Rejoice in fun, parting from suffering, there are even more idiot children. Junying has a word: The clouds of the thousands of miles, the twilight snow of a thousand mountains, only the shadow goes to whom? Hengfen Road, lonely drums, desolate smoke is still flat. Summoning some souls, the mountain ghosts cry out in the wind and rain. Heaven is also jealous, unbelieving, warblers swallows are yellow earth. Throughout the ages, in order to stay for the rioters, they sang and drank bitterly, and visited the Yanqiu. This poem was written by Yuan Haowen in the fifth year of Jin Zhangzong Taihe, that is, 1205, and has been circulated for 816 years. In particular, the first sentence of the opening paragraph: "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to be promised?" It is also a stroke of God, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has become a good sentence for infatuated children to pour out their heartfelt feelings. However, behind this word, there is a tragic "love" story. On the lower left side of the back of the Goose Hill Stone, the order of this poem is engraved.
When the ugly year tried to merge with the state, daofeng goose catcher Yun: "If you get a goose this day, kill it." His escapist could not go away, but threw himself to the ground and died. "To the cause of the purchase, the burial of the fenshui, the stone for the knowledge, the number of the "goose hill." Most of the companions are fu poems, and there are also "Yanqiu Words". What was done in the past has no palace business, and now it is revised.
The year B ugly was 1205, and yuan haowen was only sixteen years old. On the way to the state to take the exam, I met a goose catcher who said, "Today I caught a big goose and killed it." Another goose that had escaped from the net refused to leave, hovering in the sky and making a few mournful noises, and even crashed to the ground and died. Yuan Haoqing was very touched after hearing this, so he bought two geese from the geese catchers and buried them together on the banks of the Fenshui River, named "Yanqiu". At that time, most of the students who rushed to take the exam wrote poems for this purpose, and Yuan Haoqing had the work of "Yanqiu Words".
The geese are known as the crown of birds, also known as the "bird of loyalty", since ancient times as "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, faith" five permanent spiritual creatures, lifelong only this one companion, from one end to the end, the end of the world flying together, whether it is the death of female geese or male geese died, the remaining lone goose, to death will not find another partner, is one of the most affectionate birds in the world. As the saying goes, "The goose is lonely, the swallow is lonely." "In "The Words of the Wild Goose Hill", the geese who stay in the two places and fly in the autumn and return to the spring in autumn, in order to stay together for a lifetime, would rather be tragic and martyred, and from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people have been touched. Professor Yang Yu of Central South University in the "Hundred Pulpits" said that because the geese conform to the exchange of yin and yang, observe etiquette and observe festivals, and attach great importance to righteousness, in the eyes of the ancients, the geese are the animals that can best interpret love and loyalty, and have become an indispensable keepsake in ancient weddings.
In nature, often the emotions between animals can give human beings as the spirit of all things a shock and a huge touch of the heart! It is no wonder that the young Yuan Haoqing, because of the martyrdom of the geese, issued a question that touched human emotions. In the last few sentences of the "Words of Yanqiu": "Through the ages, in order to stay for the rioters, sing and drink bitterly, visit the Yanqiu." "It can be insightful that Yuan Haoqing not only moved his own affection, but also hoped that later generations could visit Yanqiu and let more people understand this poignant story." Didn't we have a group of four people today, just through the time tunnel of nearly a thousand years, and had a spiritual dialogue with Yuan Haoqing, "visiting the Yanqiu Place"?
What is love? This is an eternal topic for human beings, and perhaps everyone has their own answer in their hearts. It can be Yuan Hao asking in the "Words of Yanqiu", "Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death to agree?" tragic love; It can be the "Book of Poetry" in which "death and life are broad, and it is pleasing to it." Hold on to it, and grow old with it. "The two are in love with each other; It can also be Wen Tingjun's mouth, "Linglong dice An red beans, do you know it in the bone?" Unrequited love.
Returning to real life and facing the clear attitude of the ancients towards love, shouldn't we learn? Where are the "three-year pain", "five-year departure" and "seven-year itch", all of which are the troubles of modern people's sentimentality, aren't they? On the other hand, we should extend the loyal love that symbolizes men and women in "Yanqiu Words" to family affection, friendship with friends, and social friendliness, so that the truest love will converge into a warm current of love, spreading the two banks of the Fenhe River and filling the land of the Three Jins. If everyone can do this, will it be far from building a united, harmonious, civilized and friendly social family? May each of us guard our own goose mound!
May the wild goose hill always stay in my heart! (Li Yongzhi)
