Suzhou 丨Zhangjiagang 丨 Phoenix Town: Tianzhuang Old Street
Su Crazy Association: Fan Hongjie, Yu Zhenhong
Fenghuang Town, named after Phoenix Mountain, belongs to Changshu County, Suzhou Province. The first Yuanyuan land instrument (Tang Dynasty) in the history of Suzhou is because of this, the Yuan Dynasty poet Chen Xuan once had a poem "Traveling to Phoenix Mountain to Find the Tang Dynasty Yuanlu Ware Reading Table", I don't know if he found it?
From the beginning of the land, the Zhuangyuan gradually became a specialty of Suzhou, and there were only one hundred and twelve Zhuangyuan in the Qing Dynasty alone, while there were twenty-four in Suzhou, and twenty-four in a province in Zhejiang.
Among them, among the twenty-four Qing Dynasty titles in Suzhou Province, Fenghuang Town accounted for three, one was Sun Cheng'en, the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, one was the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi, and the other was The fifty-seventh year of Kangxi.
Coupled with the land ware of the Tang Dynasty, one town and four yuan, probably unique, right?
There is also a famous story about Sun Cheng'en. According to Yuan Ming's "Suiyuan Poetry", Sun Cheng'en was more than forty years old when he was in his middle age, with a numb face, an obese figure, and a standard middle-aged greasy man. There was a little sister surnamed Lu, the appearance of the party, saw more drama, thought that the champions were young handsome men, so they entrusted the relationship to marry Sun Cheng'en as a concubine, and when she saw the yuan, she was disappointed, and as a result, she hanged herself, and at that time people wrote poems: The national color is too delicate to be a son-in-law, and although the title is good, it is not lang. It can be seen that fans are not good at doing it casually, and it will be dangerous to their lives if they are not good.
Phoenix Town 丨 Tianzhuang: North Street
Fenghuang Town's Tianzhuang Old Street, in the east of the mountain, a few miles of road, the market along Xi Putang, all the way to go, a few shops selling oven cakes, the aroma is full of aroma, the business is very good. Unfortunately, the stomach is not contentious, and I do not feel hungry at all, otherwise I should queue up to buy a few to eat.
National cultural protection unit: Yang Sisun Former Residence
Did not go a few roads, you can see the eye of the house, the national cultural security, but unfortunately closed the door, look at the introduction, there should be a big name hall inside.
This list eye, called Yang Sixun (1823-1889), the character Zhong Lu, Xianfeng second year jinshi first place. The phoenix has four yuan, the list is not unusual, but it is not easy to leave the house, it is not easy, it can be seen that it is very important to have a good house. We all live in the residential building now, if we become famous in the future, what will we do if we call the posterity, the whole building cannot be moved?
Fan Hongjie said: You think too much.

Although Yang Sisun won the list, he was not as famous as his brother Yang Yisun (1812-1884). Yang Yisun only lifted people, but the brush characters were well written, especially the one-handed seal characters, which were very prominent in the late Qing Dynasty, and were on a par with Deng Shiru, so Zeng Pu's "Evil Sea Flower" said:
Although Shanghai is a prosperous world, in the end, there are five miscellaneous places, and the people who live in it are nothing more than the famous people of the rivers and lakes, that is, such as Mo Youzhi who writes, and Tang Shubo who paints, who always feels that he has the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, compared to the calligraphy of Yao Fengsheng in our Su Province, the seal characters of Yang Wing Chun (Yi Sun), and the paintings of Ren Fuchang, there are elegant and vulgar points.
In addition to Yang Yisun's seal book, Fenghuang Town also produced a school of flower and bird painting, which was named "Jiang Pai" because of the name of Jiang Tingxi and Jiang Pu's father and son.
Jiang Tingxi was a Kangxi Jinshi and a scholar of the WenhuaDian University of the Yongzheng Dynasty. His son Jiang Pu (蒋溥), a scholar of yongzheng in the eighth year, was an official of the Qianlong Dynasty and a scholar of Dongge University. Father and son, there were only nine households in the entire Qing Dynasty, and one county in Changshu took up two places, one was Jiang Tingxi, Jiang Pu's father and son, and the later Weng Xincun and Weng Tonggong father and son.
Fan Hongjie said: One town, four champions, two cabinet elders, the first time to see, if the dead can also be introduced talent, we cannabis town must find a way to introduce a champion, anyway, they are more.
Although Jiang's father and son are officials and elders, they are both artists, and their poems are well done and their paintings are also well drawn, so Zheng Fangkun said: Since the ancient poetry world and the painting garden are good at it, and Mr. (Jiang Tingxi) is both beautiful and beautiful.
As for Jiang Tingxi's paintings, I don't understand them, and I don't dare to comment on them, but Zhang Geng of the Qing Dynasty understands, and he commented in the "Records of Paintings of the National Dynasty": Sketching with Yi pen, or odd or positive, or rate or fair, natural harmony, and vivid wind gods.
In fact, there are many rare places in this family, such as Jiang Tingxi's brother Jiang Chenxi, the official to the viceroy of Yungui, so it is called "father and son brother uncle and nephew Yipin". In addition, starting from Jiang Tingxi's grandfather, all the way to his grandson, five generations of direct generations have been continuously admitted to the jinshi, and four generations have entered Hanlin, and the lowest one has also become a waiter, so in the official field of the Qing Dynasty, the Changshu Jiang family is called "the fifth seven jinshi", "the fourth Hanlin", and "the fifth gongqing".
Fan Hongjie said: There is no way to explain, only to say that phoenix feng shui is good. With the same feeling, I think this explanation is very rigorous and scientific
From the North of Bangyan Province, a few tens of meters, there is another national cultural security, Yang Xiaozi Ancestral Hall, Yang Xiaozi is called Yang Dai, and Yang Sisun's grandfather. Unfortunately, the door is also closed, but just looking at the façade, you can already feel the rich atmosphere.

Pass by the Yang Xiaozi Ancestral Hall, find a lane, go west, follow the ruins of the Yuandaoyuan, the foundation is intact, you can imagine the scale of that year.
An old house, Fan Hongjie saw it from afar, and said: Look, the blessing characters on the wall, the brick carvings, the old, the old bottom of the people in the end are exquisite, unlike us, every New Year's Festival sticks a piece of things.
The shadows of the trees on the old wall, the wind god is vivid, and I can't help but think of the paintings of Jiang Tingxi and Jiang Pu.
A New Year, a rare good weather, we looked at the scenery hundreds of miles away, without the slightest sense of foreign land.
When a tree of plums comes out of the wall, you can smell the aroma from a distance, and if you add another red apricot, it may look better. Recently, I have been swimming in the waves, seeing the people of southern Jiangsu, a variety of plums, it is really elegant, I go back, but also to plant a plant, the wind is elegant is the need for vassals.
Just entered the South Street, and it is a national cultural security.
Fan Hongjie said: Tianzhuang Old Street, three national cultural protection, the distance is up to three hundred meters, such a density, at the township level, it is estimated that it is one of the best in the country.
Two cabinet elders, four champions, one list eye, three national cultural security, thirty-six jinshi, Fan Hongjie broke his finger and talked about "talent introduction".
As the sun sets, I come out of Tianzhuang and go to Wuxi City, I believe that tonight's moon color must be very beautiful.
