Perhaps because the "Three Hundred New Notes on Tang Poems" is my "enlightenment" reading material, and because I have the preference of reading all kinds of literary and historical essays as an adult, I have been hesitant to collect mr. Jin Zhiyao's various anthologies. Many years ago, the "Douban" on Chengfu Road, witnessed by Xu Guangyan's classmates, also entered a complete set of "New Notes" that was missing. A few years ago, on a World Book Day, a four-volume edition of the "Compilation of Collected Writings" was included on the town store shelf of Xincheng Book City. I thought my journey of collecting gold was coming to an end. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I came to the bookstore on the island adjacent to Mr. Dinghai's former residence of Mr. Sex Yao, but found a two-volume "Supplement to the Collection of Foreign Texts" on the shelf. Weighing it again and again, it is still in the bag - next to Mr. Sex Yao's former residence, the income of such a set of books is still slightly "ancient"!
The reason why it is said that "weighing repeatedly", in fact, Gein loves to visit bookstores himself has long been accustomed to buying books online, and nowadays all kinds of promotional operations, buying books with a 50% discount has almost become the norm, not to mention that for the new books that are now colorful, the interest is not easy to mention. In this case, there is no "temptation" of discounting, and buying books in physical bookstores can really become a "feat" of "strong men not doing it".
The attraction of the "Supplement to The Collected Foreign Languages" in front of me is not only the mentality of "seeking perfection", but also in the casual reading of some of the texts that recall the old city of Dinghai. It is said that although I have collected a lot of gold, I actually don't read much. So I'm not quite sure if Mr. Yao has any or how many of these words there are elsewhere.
A cursory glance through the thick two-volume Supplement to the Collection of Foreign Languages, there are about seven or eight texts about the hometown of Dinghai. For example, the first article of the next volume of the first volume, "Huaixiang Talk", and the "Zhao Shuo and Dinghai" written two days before the publication of this article. In the previous article, Mr. Sex Yao recalled that before the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he and his friends went to Live in Dinghai, but because of the outbreak of the War of Resistance, he had to rush back to Shanghai, and since then he has violated his hometown for more than ten years. In the latter article, it is mentioned that Dinghai has been a resting place for exile regimes several times in history, the earliest being in November of the third year of Jianyan by Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, facing the Jin soldiers who came to kill them, first fled to Mingzhou (present-day Ningbo), and then "decided to sail to avoid soldiers" and fled to the isolated island of Dinghai.
Indeed, Dinghai seems to have a lot of historical sites about Zhao Zhao. It is said that it is now possible to overlook the Cen Harbor of the Cross-Sea Bridge and the Waihuifeng Temple at the western end of Zhoushan Mountain, which Zhao Zhuo once stationed. At that time, when I saw the relevant statements, I was still a bit skeptical, and now it seems that they are all based on history. So I remembered that academician Wang Fansen came to Dinghai that year, and according to Mr. Wu Yingjun, who accompanied him, academician Fan Sen also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Liuheng Island to investigate the historical relics of the Southern Song Dynasty, but because of the hasty trip, he failed.
Mr. Sex Yao also wrote an article titled "Dinghai and the Wokou", which talked about the serious harassment of the Wokou on the southeast coast of China in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, involving their collusion with Chinese pirates. The article interprets this period of history from the perspective of "the third of the ten, from the perspective of the seventh of the ten", although the language is ridiculous, it is not without the expression of Mr. Yao's consistent humanitarian and cosmopolitan feelings.
Mr. Sex Yao is a "city" person in Dinghai, and there is an article in the "Supplement to the Collection of Foreign Languages" entitled "The Same Return Domain of Dinghai", which contrasts the remnants of the former liberation bandits on the banks of the Tonggui Domain with a great tragic drama in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, mentioning that Qiao Jun, a staff member in the city, could not bear to expose his bones, but cremated it in the wilderness of the northern suburbs, with the inscription "Tonggui Dayu", "Before and after the restoration of a Chengren Ancestral Hall, and during the Republic of China, a new shrine was built at the foot of Zhen'ao Mountain", and the latter sentence aroused my interest. I wonder if I might go to Zhen'ao Mountain, which I usually pass by, one day to look for the ruins of the "New Ancestral Hall".
From this point of view, Mr. Sex Yao's words about Dinghai are mostly related to "internal worries and external troubles", but After all, Dinghai is the place where he grew up when he was young, and the wind and things are still faint, and at least two texts in the "Supplement to The Collection of Foreign Languages" convey Mr. Sex Yao's youthful feelings. One is "Remembering the Hometown's "Singing News"", the article starts from Lu Fangweng's "Small Boat Swim Near the Village" sentence of "Negative Drum Blind Man is Making a Scene", recalling a popular rap form called "Singing News" in his hometown of Dinghai in his hometown when he was young, "Most of the blind men who sing this kind of news come from the countryside to the city." At dusk every summer, everyone is densely packed on a chair to cool off in the street, wormwood smokes around the mosquitoes, the breeze brings the light cold of the night, and the citizens are oppressed by the heat when they work during the day, and then they get a loose pleasure." Nevertheless, the tone of Mr. Sex Yao's text is still somber, because he often hears from "singing the news" "the exclamation of fate" and "the wrath of those who struggle on the line of life".
The rest of his life is also late, crossing the sea to Dinghai later, naturally did not hear the "singing news", but in the Shenjiamen night stalls have seen "selling singing", but after all, into the new era, has long lost the kind of poignancy of Mr. Sex Yao's pen; in the atmosphere of the whole people's music, sometimes "buy singing" people will also join the ranks of "selling singers" and get up together. I remember that last year or the year before, Yu Hang Hangong's Chinese Philosophy Conference was held in Donggang, and one night after the meeting, the delegates "bought and sang" at their own expense in the night stall, Professor H and Professor Y from the Beijing Division sang a high song, which attracted a round of applause, and finally Professor B of Shuangdan also went up to present a song "Do You Still Love Me Tomorrow", and when the song started, it made people suddenly have the feeling of flashing back to the eighties.
In Mr. Sex Yao's homesick text, the most "pure" is a small article entitled "Snow Talk", which records a snow scene encountered in the winter vacation of his hometown of Dinghai one year, "The wind has not converged on its giant wings all day long, and the rain and frost have taken turns to lead the scenery of the water town, only the snow is late, and people are looking forward to her track day and night." Finally, in the great Chinese New Year's Eve of the solar calendar, this small island was sealed into a white fluttering upper and lower color." The article recalls the situation when Tshin Yen Dan and his three or two friends went to the hill north of the city to enjoy the snow, "The mountain is not high, but there is a small river in the foothills, and the top of the mountain can overlook the sea, while the two paths of the mountain are deep and crowded pine forests, the blue sky is upright and two compartments, the wind is trembling at the beginning, and the pine needles are like glass with ice, and the slightest shake makes a dripping sound." The originally dark mountain scenery was reflected by this large patch of musu. It just seems to be idyllic, and there are some small pieces of music from the pine trees that are playing alongside."
The ancients hated begonias for being fragranceless, and I hated the sea for having no snow. In my limited island career, I have hardly encountered snow, let alone heavy snowfall. I only remember one year, in fact, after I moved to Zhoushan to live, there was heavy snow in Hangzhou, and it was said that Zhoushan also snowed. But by the time I returned to the island after enjoying the snow on LaoHe Mountain, the snow had already melted. Probably the year before, Zhoushan was really snowing, but because of the warm atmosphere of the island, there was no snow on the ground, coincidentally, that day I also rushed to the north of Dinghai City to "enjoy the snow", but unfortunately I was only in the old campus of Zhejiang Hai university to look at it, only to see the sparse and thin white on the mountain, but it was snow, it was undoubted. At that time, I had not yet read Mr. Sex Yao's "Snow Talk", otherwise I really should have climbed up the hill to enjoy the snow, although because the buildings in Dinghai City covered my eyes, Mr. Sex Yao had overlooked the sea in the north hill of the city after the snow, and it was estimated that I had no chance to look at it there.
Returning to the book buying book mentioned at the beginning, after almost deciding to collect these two volumes of "Supplements to The Collected Foreign Texts" in the bookstore not far from Mr. Shengyao's former residence on Dinghai Renmin North Road, I went to the second floor of the bookstore and turned over a kind of Liu Tieleng's "Hundred Laws of Composing Poetry" from several shelves of Guoxue chicken soup, which is a kind of "Series of Poetic Treatises of the Republic of China" led by Mr. Ye Jiaying. So I immediately decided to take the book, as if it were "compensation" for the "feat" I had just done.
On the second day of the heavy snow, he was in the Dinghai Huimin Bridge Apartment
