【Editor's Note】

During the Spring Festival, tens of thousands of fresh special Spring Festivals decorate the streets and alleys of Huizhou, city houses and farmhouses, creating a festive and warm festive atmosphere.

"Xiangling Feiyun chased a good dream Goose City Li Rizhao Initial Heart" "East Coast Strange Soldier Xing Guangdong Sea West Lake Happy Rain Run Urban and Rural Area"... These words and phrases full of huizhou regional cultural characteristics are the epitome of Huizhou's promotion of Yuelian culture for many years.

As a national historical and cultural city, profound humanistic history and beautiful natural scenery have endowed Huizhou with a rich and unique cultural heritage, and Yanglian is one of the blooming artistic flowers. At present, Huizhou makes full use of the rich cultural resources of The Union of The Union of Culture, strives to create a national and provincial "City of the Culture of the Union", gives play to the role of the Union of The Union, and serves the urban development of Huizhou.

Yang Lian, also known as couplet, is a unique and traditional literary art of the Chinese nation. With its neat, exquisite writing and the characteristics of the law of peace and servant, it is separated from the ancient chinese and poetic categories, and is different from other literary and artistic categories such as biaowen and poetry.

Huizhou Yuelian culture has a long history, and the earliest Can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, flourishing in the Ming Dynasty, flourishing in the Qing Dynasty, and is still popular today. Huizhou Yuelian is rich in content, wide variety and widely distributed, and the "Huizhou Yuelian Collection" alone selects the outstanding Yuelian created by the late Huizhou people and the 780 excellent Yanglian created by the late foreigners about Huizhou. Among them, a large number of famous associates emerged, such as Yi Bingshou, Song Xiang, Liang Dingfen, Jiang Fengchen, Deng Chengxiu and so on.

I. Huizhou Yanglian of the Song Dynasty has great characteristics of landscape and humanities

It originated from the Zhou Dynasty Peach Charm (peach wood planks hanging on both sides of the gate). "Spring League, i.e. Peach Fu Also". The Huainanzi, the Book of Etiquette of the Later Han Dynasty, and the Records of the Yanjing Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty have aspirations. Until the Song Dynasty, Yang Lian was still called "Peach Fu". Wang Anshi's "Yuan Day" poem has the sentence "Thousands of doors and thousands of households always exchange new peaches for old charms".

Due to the common use of paper in the Song Dynasty, peach wood boards were gradually replaced by paper writing. People use it to depict the background of the times and express good wishes. Every Spring Festival, whether in urban or rural areas, every household should select a pair of big red Spring Leagues and paste them on the door, resign the old and welcome the new, so as to increase the festive atmosphere of the festival. It began to flourish in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty entered its heyday.

The emergence and development of Huizhou Yanglian generally follows the above basic law. The earliest Yanglian appeared in the Song Dynasty, which is very characteristic of local landscape and humanities. According to Fang Zhi and the Ancient Poetry Collection, there are five pairs:

"Radius rain after fragrant rice ripening Fenghu Wave warm crucian carp fat" is recorded from Su Dongpo's "Tuberose Hall Su Ti". The "radius" in the union refers to the "radius returning to the tree" inscribed by the Northern Song Dynasty Huizhou Taishou Chen Wei after he built the West Lake( Huiyang Ancient Eight Views) (now the Eight Views of the West Lake).

"Ten Miles of Fenghu Lake, surrounded by adjacent halls; Dongxi Qianqing and Si Innocent Zhai were completed", which left the right inscription for the three dynasties of the Southern Song Dynasty in the "Dongpo Ancestral Hall" of The White Crane Peak in Shuidong, Huizhou.

"The lake sends bells back to the crocodile sea, the stream sails through the Dragon Gate", inscribed for the Southern Song Dynasty official Liao Deming (present-day Nanping, Fujian) in the Chaoxi Ancient Temple in Maju Town, Longmen (present-day Huizhou County).

"Heaven unknown Smoke Hidden Ancient Temple Haizhong Early Sun Shooting Tower" "Ancient Wood Yin Zhongzang Cave House Out of the Tower Deep in the Clouds" are all written by Liu Yuanchong, Zhizhou Zhizhou of the Southern Song Dynasty, and are inscribed in the Luofu Mountain Chaoyuandong Nanlou Temple.

The Yuan Dynasty was the Huizhou Fangzhi Dynasty period, and only one pair of lian remained, and the connection gave people a sense of "if it was intermittent". The joint is "Xiyi Joy Ceremony Three minutes and six centimeters Receiver greedy for money and no acceptance of qi; thin table thin table Two bowls and three tables Come greedy cup not to come thin but not thin", for the late Yuan Dynasty Huizhou A thorn history and prodigy Wang Zhike co-written, in the MingZhong Xiangshan County lord Bo Wang Fengqi xiu "Shuibei Wang Clan Genealogy". At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhike went to Jiangxi to inspect the history of the Dao.

The creation of the Ming and Qing dynasties is rich in themes and exquisite in art

After the trough of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Huizhou Yanglian was like "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way, and suddenly encounter the peach blossom source". According to the collection of "Huizhou Yanglian Collection", there are 23 pairs of Huizhou Yanglian in the Ming Dynasty. Because of the age, omissions are inevitable.

In the Ming Dynasty, Huizhou Yanglian involved themes, including scenery, pavilions, ancestral temples, and expanded to government offices, residences, villages, stone carvings, wedding celebrations, and narratives. Most of the authors were celebrities from Huizhou and the dynasty, such as Han Riyi (a native of Boluo County, Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty), Yao Guanmin (a native of Fujian Fuqing, deputy envoy of Ming Guangdong), Wang Shouchong (a native of Guishan, Shaowu Taishou of Fujian), Peng Liangchen (a native of Hengyang, Hunan, ling of Guishan County), Zhang Xuan (a native of Boluo, the prefect of Pingyue), Chen Lianfang (a native of Changle, Fujian, a secretary of the Taichang Temple in Nanjing), Tang Yaozuo (a native of Dongguan County), and a golden jian (a member of the New Society, a member of the Huguang Government).

The reason why the Huizhou Yanglian flourished in the Ming Dynasty was due to the love and advocacy of zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and the internal root was the thick accumulation of local humanistic history in Huizhou. After entering the Ming Dynasty, huizhou literati emerged with talents, and a group representing the highest level of Huizhou literati in the Ming Dynasty emerged - "Mr. Hushang Five" (Ye Calyx, Ye Chunhe, Ye Mengxiong, Li Xueyi, Yang Qiyuan), morality, writings, and xunye fame in The Sea.

The Qing Dynasty vigorously advocated and admired Han culture, and The creation of Yang Lian reached a golden age. The same is true of Huizhou Yanglian, and Huizhou Prefecture and various counties have taken advantage of this east wind to push the creation of regional Yuelian to a higher level.

According to the incomplete statistics of the "Huizhou Yanglian Collection", there were more than 310 Huizhou Yanglian in the Qing Dynasty, accounting for 40% of the total number of the collection. The ideological and artistic nature of the Association has been greatly improved, and the content and forms have been more extensively diversified, such as the "Landscape Alliance," the "Festive Alliance," the "Temple And View Alliance," the "Residence Union," the "Commercial Alliance," the "Education Alliance," the "Bang Lian," and the "ZhiQu Lian," which have spread throughout the towns and villages, and a large number of associates have emerged, such as Yi Bingshou, Wu Qian, Song Xiang, Liang Dingfen, Jiang Fengchen, deng Chengxiu, and so on.

The classic Yang Lian of the Qing Dynasty is very exquisite from both the ideological connotation and the artistic point of view. For example, the West Lake Hengcha Xiaoyin Lian "Vertical Eye Changtang Hanging Strange Stone Fast Heart Radius Lax Cheng Bay" (Qingye Weiyang, Guishanren, Southern Ming Zhongshushe people, into the Qing hermitage). Radius guiqiao, for the Northern Song Dynasty Hui Taishou Chen Wei title Huiyang ancient eight scenery, Ye Lian titled the wonder of the ancient scenery, but also metaphorically its non-Qing court mentality, "strange stones, fast heart" is enough to Ming Zhi.

West Lake Lonely Mountain Liuru Ting Ji Su Dongpo Concubine Dynasty Yunlian: "When coming from the South China Sea, tong shangjianglou looked back at the remnants of the clouds and the shu road; after going from the eastern slope, left the incense tomb alone, sad and cold moon illuminated the Su Causeway" (Qing Zou Dai Yao, a native of Pennsylvania, Guangxi, Guangxu eleven years of people). Zou Lian praised Su Dongpo's concubine Wang Chaoyun for not demeaning Huizhou because of Dongpo, and followed him to death for thousands of miles, and his character was noble, which also showed that the Lian people deeply regretted and admired his misfortune.

3. In the early twentieth century, the gift of the union was tragic

From the republic of China to the early days of the founding of New China, there were more than 210 works of Huizhou Yanglian, accounting for 27% of the total number of the collection of "Huizhou Yulian Collection" (not counted in the Anon Dynasty and anononym), and the content and form roughly inherited the Qing Dynasty. Because it is in a period of great change, there are many gifts and unions, and the biggest feature is that it is full of tragic and fierce feelings. Kang Youwei, Sun Yat-sen, Song Qingling, Li Jishen, He Xiangning, Chen Yi, Ye Jianying, Ye Ting and others have all written for Huizhou or Huizhou celebrities.

Kang Youwei titled YuanmiaoGuanlian

The landscape has a spirit and a surprise to know oneself

The end of the temperament can forget the words

Sun Yat-sen presented Deng Yandalian

Develop the spirit of euthanasia

Remove the root of greed

Song Qingling pulled Deng yan Da Lian

Yue does not die E does not die Jiankang tragic death Spirit does not die

The promenadeno survived, the declaration survived, and the grandeur endured.

Throughout the history of the development of Huizhou's Yuelian culture, the history of urban and rural areas in various counties and districts is rich, but because it has not been included in the collection, it is scattered in the historical years. In recent years, the culture of The League has received more and more attention, and many dusty ancient Links have reappeared. In 2016, Huizhou mobilized cultural figures from all walks of life to collect 780 pairs of various types of Yanglian that were circulated among the people and compiled them into the "Huizhou Yanglian Collection", which attracted widespread attention from the society. In addition, the Huizhou Poetry Association also cooperates with the county and district poetry associations to compile book collections, such as "Huicheng Fengyun", "Huiyang Poetry", "Boluo Fengyun", "Songxi Poetry", "Longmen Couplet", "Zhongkai Fengyun", "Daya Bay Fengyun", etc., constantly based on the local area, opening up a new path of exploration.

Recording family "codes" reflect blood and kinship

Every Spring Festival, most households in the old town of Huizhou retain the custom of sticking the yanglian at the gate, and a pair of festive Spring Festivals also brings a strong New Year's flavor. "All the links are family passwords", people familiar with this tradition, as long as they look at the couplet, they can even know the ancestral origin of this family.

At No. 25, Northwest Gate Avenue of the bridge, a pair of red lanterns hangs on the entrance of the Miao House, the former site of the "Zhongying Garrison Camp", and a pair of couplets pasted on both sides of the gate of "Chunnong Beikuo Pai Yan Dongyang". "This couplet has not changed for more than 300 years," according to Miao Lijie, a descendant of the Miao family, whose ancestors were ordered to come from Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, to Huizhou to perform their duties in Shubian, and their descendants settled in Beimen Street. This pair of links is the Miao family's traceability and attachment to the homeland and roots, and it is also the confirmation of the Miao ancestors' practice of the spirit of loyalty to the country. Similarly, in the iron furnace lake qiu house on the east side of the bridge, you can see a couplet posted with a pair of "Iron Lake Spring Full Bohai Sea Source", according to reports, Bohai sea is the place where Qiu's county looks, and now lives in Huizhou Iron Furnace Lake, which is also the root cause for future generations not to forget themselves.

In addition to the retrospective commemoration of the homeland, many Yanglian also express the origin of the history of ancient architecture, or pinned on the sincere teaching of future generations, which is rich in content and profound in meaning. For example, the Weimen Association of Moyuan Village in Hengli Town: "Mo is famous in the township of Han Mo sheng xiang dip Emperor De; garden can be a paradise The countryside has great divine grace." This is an embedded name, and the first words of the upper and lower couplets are combined to form the word "Ink Garden".

Scattered in various places, a large number of ancestral halls almost all have links that illustrate the origins and traditions of the clan, mainly showing the glory of the family, family rules and family training, reflecting the strong blood and family affection and strong family history, and becoming an important cultural resource. For example, the Huang Clan Ancestral Hall Gate Link in Qiaoxi Street: "The achievement of Xunliang's first family heirloom filial piety is unparalleled" and so on.

Strive to create a national and provincial "City of Yuelian Culture"

Huizhou Yanglian art has a far-reaching influence, a long history and rich resources. How to fully excavate, sort out and make good use of the cultural resources of Yanglian to serve the development of modern society? In this regard, the reporter interviewed Luo Shengquan, vice president of the Guangdong Provincial Poetry Association and president of the Huizhou Poetry Association.

Yangcheng Evening News: In your opinion, what is the significance of The Culture of Yanglian to Huizhou? Why promote the popularization of Yanglian culture?

Luo Shengquan: People often say, "Where there is a well, there is a yanglian", it can be said that the yanglian is the most widely disseminated and widely used literary style, with a wide mass base, the Spring Festival, the festival, the wedding and birthday celebrations have become a part of the lives of the people.

On the other hand, the yanglian is short and exquisite, and it is the most condensed history. For example, "Lingdongxiong County, Lianghua Old State" clearly tells the eminent status and thick history of Huizhou in only eight words; "Humanistic Ancient Zoulu Landscape And Water Small Pengying" expounds huizhou's humanistic convergence and beautiful mountains and rivers. Two pairs of short couplets are enough to become Huizhou's geographical indications and cultural business cards. Promoting and popularizing the culture of Yanglian is conducive to publicizing Huizhou's humanistic history, customs and customs, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.

Through the engraving of inscriptions in scenic spots, ancestral halls and temples, etc., the Yanglian also expresses the value orientation in solid characters and passes them on from generation to generation. For example, the phrase "Lanting Sun Warm Lipu Chunnong" in the Ancestral Hall of wang clan in Shuibei Village is full of poetry, praising the supreme glory of the ancestors and the beautiful spring colors of the place of residence. Carrying forward and popularizing the culture of The League of Arts is conducive to inheriting and carrying forward traditional culture and enhancing people's national self-confidence and centripetal force.

After years of continuous promotion of The Culture of The Union, the creative team of Huizhou Union covers the old, middle and young, from the post-00s to the 90-year-old. Slowly, the post-00s generation has gradually become the backbone, and the older generation is also constantly learning, such as the 86-year-old Li Lingen learning to use mobile phones to create and promote the culture of Yanglian. During the Winter Olympics, he had new works almost every day, which were discussed on the WeChat group.

Yangcheng Evening News: Huizhou Lianchuang is rich, but there are also many on the verge of being lost, have you collected the information of The Union through other channels?

Luo Shengquan: It is scattered in ancestral halls and temples, gate tower stone walls, and thousands of households. With the development of the times, a large number of good associations have not been collected into books, which has brought challenges to the collection and collation work. We carry out record collation by consulting literature, conducting field visits, and communicating with literary and historical experts. For example, the "Huizhou West Lake Yanglian Collection" recorded more than 200 ancient links and visited 179 West Lake scenic spots, many of which were recorded for the first time. For example, the Yuanmiao Ancient Temple's "Huifu Sanqingjing Fenghu Zhongmiao Gate" (anonymity); the ancient building Yongfu Temple has disappeared into the long river of history, and through excavating the literature and historical materials, we have sorted out three pairs of yanglians, such as "Talking and Laughing out of red dust" (Qing Song Xiang). Huizhou is a rich cultural mine, rich in resources, and a vast sea of literature, we are just digging into the surface or a corner. For example, Luofu Mountain has at least a thousand pairs of ancestral trees hidden deeply, scattered in a large number of folk houses, ancestral halls and temples, which need to be excavated and sorted out.

Of course, we not only collect a few lines of the yang lian, but also record and sort out the author's life, the background of the times, the appreciation and comments, and the on-site photography and retention, etc. We have done a lot of basic collection and collation work, which is a huge project. We are considering the preservation of these cultural and historical materials through electronic digitization and the establishment of electronic databases, which requires the attention and support of relevant government departments to jointly make long-term plans for the protection of this intangible cultural heritage.

Yangcheng Evening News: The Society has been committed to promoting the culture of Yanglian for many years, and the results are obvious. In your opinion, what else does Huizhou need to strengthen in the work of creating a national and provincial "City of Yuelian Culture"?

Luo Shengquan: Creation is also productivity. At present, we have done a lot of preparatory work in the collection of poems and yanglian, which has been highly affirmed by relevant organizations such as the Guangdong Provincial Yuelian Society and the China Yuelian Society, and is working hard to promote the creation of a national and provincial "Yuelian Cultural City". It is believed that taking creation as the starting point, based on creation, and with the help of joint education and exchanges, it can drive the development and innovation of Huizhou Yuelian culture, enrich the cultural value of the city, and build up the popularity of the city, which is conducive to the vigorous development of Huizhou's cultural tourism industry, thus driving the development of economy and society and achieving a double harvest of culture and economy.

At present, the cultural heritage of Huizhou Yuelian and the ability to create and innovate have basically met the conditions for declaration, and it is hoped that the relevant government departments can lead the creation work and give certain financial support.

Successive generations of lianjia Yong west lake

As a shining cultural business card in Huizhou, West Lake has attracted the endless chants of successive generations of lianjia, depicting or pinning on the Jialian of West Lake. Huizhou literary and historical scholar Wu Shiduan's book "Huizhou West Lake Art and Literature Series" includes a "Long Talk on Huizhou West Lake Yang Lian", which details the classic Yang Lian of The West Lake and its surroundings.

Wu Shiduan wrote that in the West Lake of Huizhou, many temples and pavilions, pavilions, courtyards, and courtyards, generations of rioters and inkers, left a lot of Yang Lian. Due to the beauty of the natural landscape, the mountains and rivers are clear and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Therefore, many of these links are called superior and good, which is quite comparable.

Wu Shiduan started with Yang Lian in Fenghu Academy. At the gate of the college, there is a stone carving of Song Xiang, and the joint language is:

Humanistic Ancient Zoulu

The landscape is small and fluffy

This joint work is stable and heavy, the handwriting is beautiful, the book was written in the sixth year of Qing Jiaqing (1801 AD), the West Lake has been repeatedly robbed, and this joint is the only remaining fruit, which has become the aura of Lu Dian.

Secondly, in the lobby and on the upper floor of Chengguan, there were two long couplets that were also written and written by Song Xiangshi, because they were woodcuts, which had long been lost, and "now there is no instrument to survive". Among them, the lobby of the United Cloud:

Ten thousand Guangsha shelter new ask Xiu Cai old house deep lights He is a few days old and too guarded

Thousands of Tourists of Ping Lake looked at the after-the-sun sentiments and thoughts some people revived gu xunzhou

Shanglian is a passionate celebration of the restoration and expansion of Fenghu Academy. "Ten Thousand Guangsha" was the ambition of the great poet Du Fu to praise "Xiantaishou". The lower link is to hope that later generations can inherit the rope, revitalize culture, and cultivate talents. This was clearly written at the beginning of the completion of the college's re-cultivation, and it was extremely sincere for the training of all students and the expectations of those who came. The author's ambition can also be reflected in it.

In addition to Fenghu Academy, Wu Shiduan also listed the Yaolian in the scenic areas such as Chaoyun Tomb, Diancuizhou, and Red Cotton Water Pavilion, including Yi Bingshou, Liang Dingfen, Lin Shaolong, Chen Wei, Zhang Youren, Jiang Fengchen and a large number of officials, eunuchs, celebrities, and literati.

Wu Shiduan believes that Yanglian has a broad and deep social foundation, and this artistic asana is popular with people. We should recognize and master the wonderful use of the cultural landscape and the natural landscape to complement each other, so that the Yanglian can serve the development of tourism.

The culture of Yanglian is continuing to be passed on. In 2021, the Huizhou Poetry Association collected the original scenic spot of the ancient Yang Lian and on the basis of hanging the Yang Lian, extensively collected the new Creation Yang Lian, and finally selected more than 5,000 paintings and compiled them into the "Huizhou West Lake Yang Lian Collection", which attracted attention.
