The fixed calendar, the fixed rhythm, has always been the most important national event in the continent for thousands of years.
In the past, the mainland was mainly based on farming, and the impact of seasonal changes on life in a year became the core factor, and it became necessary to arrange life and labor according to the changes of seasons. The ancients formulated the calendar by observing the changes of the sun, moon and stars, of which the most important object of observation was the moon, so the lunar calendar, also known as the lunar calendar, was based on the lack of the moon.
There is a saying in the Analects of Tabor: "Zi Yue: Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, and become happy." It fully shows that in history, music is the most important personal quality. In the "Zhou Li", music also occupies half of the sky. It can be seen that in ancient China, music occupied a very important position both for individual nobles and the imperial court. In ancient times, the mainland judged the standards for judging the level of musical tones, and divided the sound into six laws (yang law) and six products (yin law). Collectively known as the "Twelve Laws". Some researchers have pointed out that the meaning of "law" has the characteristics of cosmic rules, and is related to the formulation of weights and measures and the determination of climatic seasons.
Therefore, we can clearly understand that in the process of the development of the years, the formation, development and accumulation of culture are the core and theme of history.
The fifteenth day of the first month is the lunar calendar, "the first month" is the first month of the lunar calendar, the fifteenth day, is the first full moon night of the year, naturally very important, and because the ancients called "night" as "supper", so the fifteenth day of the first month is called "Lantern Festival". On this day, there are a series of traditional folk activities throughout the mainland, such as viewing flower lanterns, eating lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, setting off fireworks and so on. It can be said that the Lantern Festival is the most lively day during the Spring Festival, which is connected with the Spring Festival, the day is the city, the bustle is extraordinary, and the lights are lit at night, which is spectacular.
Yuan Haoqing once wrote a poem "Kyoto New Year's Eve": "Dressed in costumes and makeup, the lights on the sixth street make children." The long shirt is also what I am, and I am also in the laughter of tourists. ”
The customs and forms of human life are innumerable, but once combined with culture and valued, they may become "history" and influence future generations.
In fact, "Yaji" has little to do with ordinary people, but because it is ultimately a kind of "life" and is recorded, it has become a component of "history". "Or ten days a day", "or one month to find an alliance".
Ancient Chinese literati and scholars often gathered together to communicate with each other through art forms such as burning incense, hanging paintings, bottle offerings, chanting poems, fuqin, and tea ceremonial tea, singing together, cultivating sentiments, and forming a special gathering over time, which is called "Yaji". However, the founders of "Yaji" would not have thought that such a form would one day become "history". The "Jinguyuan Yaji" of the Western Jin Dynasty, the "Lanting Yaji" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the "Tengwang GeYaji" of the Tang Dynasty are all based on creative poetry. The "Lanting Collection" on the third day of March in the ninth year of Yonghe not only has 37 poems, but also achieves Wang Xizhi's famous "Lanting Collection Sequence". It can be said that "Yaji" is a unique landscape in the history of traditional Chinese culture and art.
In 2017, the Xinzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government launched the Xinzhou Ancient City Revitalization Project. After the revitalization and opening of the Xinzhou ancient city quickly attracted the attention of the Chinese people, in the "first batch of national tourism and leisure blocks list" released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, a total of 55 blocks in the country were listed, and the ancient city of Xinfu District, Xinzhou City, cultural tourism and leisure life blocks were listed. As Guo Bensheng, deputy secretary of the Xinzhou Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, wrote in an article, "Xinzhou is a place with word of mouth, stories, feelings, and dreams, exuding magical charm." ”
Founded in the 40th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Xiurong Academy is a provincial key cultural relics protection unit, an important microcosm of the development and change of ancient colleges on the mainland, and a valuable cultural and educational wealth inherited from its predecessors in Xinfu District. In the revitalization project of Xinzhou Ancient City, Xiurong Academy is one of the important revitalization projects. On January 19, 2022, created by Ning Zhigang, vice president of the Party School of Xinzhou Municipal Party Committee, Xinzhou Laobaiyao Culture Co., Ltd. as the main body of investment and operation, with the joint efforts of people of insight in Xinzhou, the "Xiurong Academy Museum" was created and opened. It aims to comprehensively display the history and culture of Xiurong Ancient City and Xiurong Academy and the development process of modern education in Xinzhou, show the remarkable transformation process and gratifying new appearance of Xinzhou Ancient City, embody the great practice of today, that is, the cultural vision of the precious history of the future, and strive to build a first-class public welfare historical and cultural theme museum in the province, and create a landmark cultural highland of Xinzhou Ancient City and Xiurong Academy.
How can this original intention be realized and have a lasting impact? Also proposed by Mr. Ning Zhigang, Xiurong Academy Museum plans to plan and launch a thematic cultural collection on the Yuan Festival every year, making it a cultural business card of the museum.
Different from the past "Yaji", the place where the "Yaji" is held now, the participants, the form of the Yaji, etc. will be greatly changed. How to handle the "Art Collection" of Xiurong Academy Museum and how to form a cultural brand is a consideration in itself.
Mr. Ning Zhigang put forward the basic principles of "Yaji", one is to have traditional cultural connotations, the second is to be related to the local culture of Xinzhou, and the third is to be related to Xiurong College. Based on this, "Yunji Qingshan Reading Mountain House Nongyin Shangyuan Yaji" has become a consensus.
After the establishment of Xiurong Academy, there were "Reading Mountain Houses" and "Qixiu Book Clubs", and "Reading Mountain Houses" completed the engraving and printing of Mr. YuanYishan's "Complete Works of Mr. Yuanyishan" and "Qingzhou Collection" in the seventh year of Guangxu, which opened the precedent of Xinzhou's native compilation and printing of the works of Wen zongyuan of the Xiangxian generation, and the Tibetan editions of these two sets of works still exist in the North City Gate Tower. It didn't seem like a big deal now, but at the time, it couldn't be ignored.
Yuan Haowen, who has "Northern Wenxiong" and "Generation Wenzong", is an outstanding cultural celebrity in the history of Xinzhou, and the "ask what is the world's love" written when he was 16 years old can be said to be a question of the world. He once wrote in "Reading The Mountain and the Moon": "The layers of cliffs are ancient trees, and the thin roads are deep with berry moss." The chai gate opens at dawn, and the clouds and green mountains come. There is real interest in the quiet, and the lone reward is He Youya. "While singing about the beauty of my hometown, I also exude more love for my hometown."
"Green mountains in the clouds", full of pride in the rambling, refracting ideals in loneliness.
Therefore, taking "Yunji Qingshan" as the theme of the first cultural collection of Xiurong Academy Museum can be said to be extremely relevant, extremely consistent, and extremely valuable, which not only expresses the lofty meaning of inheriting traditional culture, but also reflects the purpose of Xiurong Academy Museum in building a cultural highland in Xinzhou.

On February 15th, the Lantern Festival of Nongyin, Xiurong Academy Museum "Yunji Qingshan - Reading Mountain House Shangyuan Ya Collection" was held as scheduled. Jiang Xinwen, chairman of the Shanxi Chinese Culture Promotion Association, Zhang Huaiwen, former mayor of xinzhou municipal people's government and former executive vice chairman of shanxi chinese culture promotion association, Han Heping, executive vice chairman of Shanxi Chinese culture promotion association, Zhou Rubi, former member of the standing committee of the Xinzhou Municipal Party Committee and director of the Propaganda Department, Ning Zhigang, vice president of the party school of xinzhou municipal party committee, and Gao Jianyu, general manager of Xinzhou Old White Liquor Industry, delivered speeches and speeches from different angles. The city's cultural circles and iconic cultural figures from Xinzhou gathered together to participate in the collection activities, everyone chanted poems, recited classics, splashed ink, wrote YuanYishan poems, painted Yuanyishan poetry intentions, nearly thirty provincial and municipal cultural circles representatives from the provincial city famous singers Liu Wentao, Zhang Hongli, Wu Wei and so on made wonderful singing. Mr. Ning Zhigang said in introducing the original intention of holding this collection activity that since the unveiling of the plaque on November 28, 2021, under the great attention of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the strong support of the Xinfu District Committee and District Government, and the joint efforts of comrades, with unique cultural creativity and the volume and taste of the collection, the Xiurong Academy Museum has quickly become the iconic cultural highland of Xinzhou Ancient City and Xiurong Academy. During the Spring Festival, the staff of the museum gave up their rest time and opened to the public welfare all day long, which was highly praised by the general public and formed a very wide-ranging news effect, and the reports on the Xiurong Academy Museum nearly 100 times won the headlines of today, the People's Daily, Shanxi and Xinzhou media. It can be said that the Xiurong College Museum has made a good start and achieved phased results. However, there is still a long way to go, how to make the Xiurong Academy Museum go one step further, truly build itself into a first-class public welfare cultural institution in the province, and undertake the glorious mission of inheriting the history and culture of Xinzhou, which has become a topic that the Xiurong Academy Museum will inevitably face and need to solve in the future. It is in this context that we organized today's elegant collection and asked the famous calligrapher Mr. Chen Jusuo to write "Cloudy Qingshan", with the aim of making the Xiurong Academy Museum change from a simple static display and presentation to an all-round diversified cultural participation of elites from all walks of life.
Mr. Ning Zhigang pointed out that the naming of the Yuan Ya Collection on the Reading Mountain House is mainly to reflect the original intention of the Xiurong Academy Museum to carry the history of Xinzhou and continue the original text of jiuwen.

From a general point of view, "Cloudy Green Mountains - Reading Mountain House Show Rong Ya Collection" is a particularly meaningful and connotative activity held by a group of people with special cultural feelings at a particularly traditional time and in a particularly historical place.
Liang Shengzhi, director of the Xiurong College Museum, said in the host event that history needs to be created, and it needs to be inherited and developed. Everyone lives in history, but not everyone can create "history" and become "history", and it is only possible to become "history" if they participate in a certain node of history and make some contribution worth leaving for this node. Xiurong College has experienced history, but the history of Xiurong College needs to be inherited, more people need to participate in it, contribute to this, and also gain strength from it, the creation and development of Xiurong College Museum is based on this, and it is to undertake such a heavy responsibility. "Yunji Qingshan - Reading Mountain House On the Yuan ya collection" is just the beginning, and it is the starting point of a series of cultural achievements and cultural creations in the Xiurong Academy Museum. "Cloudy Green Mountain - Reading Mountain House Shangyuan Yaji" is just a cultural symbol passed down from generation to generation in the long river of Xinzhou history and culture.
Jiang Xinwen, chairman of the Shanxi Chinese Culture Promotion Association, after listening to the original intention of holding the "Yunji Qingshan - Reading Mountain House Shangyuan Ya Collection", clearly stated that he hoped to incorporate the cultural activities and cultural construction of the Xiurong Academy Museum into the work of the Shanxi Chinese Culture Promotion Association.

The content is "thin bamboo vine hanging obliquely, and the flowers and grass are scattered." Lin Gao is windy, and the moss water is silent. "Shi Runyun moved first, and the bridge was gradually crossed." The wild yin adds late weight, and the mountain is more autumnal. "The trees are full of autumn sounds, and the village is desolate and idle." The rainbow harvest is still white rain, and the clouds are moving suddenly green mountains." "The rivers and maple forests are scattered, and the mountains are deep and the bamboo harbor is quiet." Smoke sinks the birds, and the sunset returns to the cattle.

Mr. Yin Weiling's inscription is the fifth of the "Miscellaneous Poems of Mountain Residence": "The sand marks rise and fall, and the embankment destroys the shore mouth." The broken bridge is piled with foam, and the tall tree pavilion is floating. At the end of the long scroll, Mr. Song Wenming wrote one of Yuan Haoqing's "Reading Mountains and Moons": "Layer rocks are ancient trees, and thin roads are deep berry moss." The chai gate opens at dawn, and the clouds and green mountains come. There is real interest in the quiet, and the lone reward is He Youya. ”
Mr. Zhou Rubi also improvised a poem: "A thousand doors are colorful and bright, and the clouds and mu spring stream embrace the ancient city." Wen Mao Zhoushan is not old, and today will be a group of heroes. ”
In the ninth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353 AD), that is, more than 1,600 years ago, Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Sun Qi, and others "repaired Zen" in Lanting (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang), in fact, they went to the wild river to play, and at the same time prayed for the removal of ominousness, wrote a preface to the poems created by some people participating in this event, that is, the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", which Wang Xizhi's "Preface" recounted the beauty of the landscape around the Lanting pavilion and the joy of the gathering, expressing the author's feelings about the impermanence of life and death. Wang Xizhi's handwritten "Orchid Pavilion Collection" also has the reputation of "the first line of books in the world", and at the same time, it has also become a permanent art treasure.
The successful holding of "Yunjian Qingshan - Reading Mountain House Nongyin Shangyuan Ya Collection" is not only the inheritance of history, but also the next historical initiative.
As a theme museum carrying a high cultural responsibility for the construction of the ancient city of Xinzhou, the debut of the Xiurong Academy Museum that has just started has allowed visitors who have entered the museum to appreciate the temperature and power of culture, and may its future be expected and inherited for a long time.
