Wang Dingjun | Guanshan is difficult to cross, my hometown is unforgettable, Lanling Xunzi

Wang Dingjun: Guanshan is difficult to cross, and my hometown is unforgettable

Wang Dingjun, a native of Lanling, Shandong Province, was born in 1925 to a traditional farming family; he taught in the United States from 1979 to the United States before settling in New York.

"Today's cloud copied yesterday's cloud", the famous sentence of the poet's heel string. White cloud dogs, fickle and constant, otherwise how can you get the word "dog"?

Human affairs are ever-changing, now is not the past, careful observation and experience, the change is mostly a costume prop set, such as the yuanbao to change the check, the sword for the gun, the way to resist the sword to resist the bullet of course, but why and what kind of people and other things in what situation to bleed desperately, but it is the same in ancient and modern times.

A memoir is a cloud of yesterday, and the reappearance of the cloud is the love of this book.

This article is excerpted from Wang Dingjun's memoir "Yesterday's Clouds"

01

Hometown Lanling

In 1943, in the sixth year of the War of Resistance Against Japan, I attended the Middle School in Exile, thousands of miles away from home. One day, Mr. Yao Shujiang, who teaches his own geography, finished his last lesson, closed the book, and asked a question that everyone did not expect:

"You have finished reading the geography of your country, and you have a clear understanding of the whole of China. Which mountain and river do you like the most? Which province and county do you like the most? After the victory of the War of Resistance, where do you want to live? ”

At that time, I raised my hand to speak, and I said that I would still like to live in my hometown.

Teacher Yao asked me where my hometown was, and I told him that it was in Lanling Town, Linyi County, Shandong Province.

Teacher Yao thought about it for a moment and nodded happily, "Your place is really good." ”

From the map, Shandong is like a camel coming from the far west to the far east, unloading the Taihang Mountains on its back, extending its neck, and drinking the water in the Bohai Sea. Then it stops there forever.

The camel had two black lines on its body. One line from shoulder to mouth, almost horizontal, is the Jiaoji Railway; a line from the back to the knee, over the predecessor, almost vertical, that is, the Jinpu Railway. These two railways sandwiched the three-hundred-mile mountain range, which is called the Triangle Mountain in geographical books, and the writers of the book regarded the Jinpu Road in Shandong as a "hook", the Jiaoji Road as a "strand", and the coastline under the jaw of a camel as a "string".

The Triangle Mountain is divided into several mountainous areas, and its southwest corner is called Yimeng Mountain. The Yi River originates from this and flows to the southern plain, until the mountain is exhausted, and the first city where the mountain springs reflect the water is Linyi.

Wang Dingjun | Guanshan is difficult to cross, my hometown is unforgettable, Lanling Xunzi

Lanling is a large town on the southwestern border of Linyi. Looking north of Lanling, the main peaks with an altitude of more than a thousand meters have sunk below the horizon, and the secondary peaks on the periphery are only a thin and transparent touch on the horizon. Lanling is flanked on all sides by a fertile plain, east to the sea, west to Henan, and south to the Huai River. Visiting relatives on a day of agricultural leisure, or visiting relatives on a leisurely day, and looking at such a good soil along the way is a great enjoyment. Especially in the late spring and early summer wheat season, the wilderness radiates a magical light, and those who bathe in that light think that they have seen the strange flowers and flowers of the world. Alas, there must be crops in the fields, there must be mature crops, and the earth is the splendid earth.

The only mountain near Lanling is called Hengshan. When I was in elementary school, the whole school went on a group hike, and the destination was Hengshan. The eleven- or twelve-year-old conquered the mountain, and you can imagine how small and exquisite the mountain was. In my dream, there was no mountain there, and in the beginning, the peaks converged towards the triangular mountainous area, passing through the eastern suburbs of Lanling, leaving a bonsai in mutual crowding.

Lanling has produced many celebrities. Check the special book that records the chronology of ancient Chinese celebrities, and find three people in the Han Dynasty, one person in the Jin Dynasty, twenty-eight people in the first five generations, and thirteen people in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Thirty-nine of them were surnamed Xiao, accounting for 87 percent.

There is also a Nanlan Tomb in history. Nanlanling was placed near Wujin, Jiangsu after the Jin Dynasty's southern crossing, and was called "Overseas Chinese". The Eastern Jin Dynasty overseas Chinese placed Southern Xuzhou, Southern Lanling, and Southern Qiao, and took the northern place names to the south to use, indicating that they did not forget their homeland. The Southern Song Dynasty also had "overseas Chinese", and European immigrants to the Americas also had "overseas chinese", with roughly the same intention. Nanlanling produced eighteen celebrities, all surnamed Xiao, including Xiao Daocheng, the founding emperor of Southern Qi, and Xiao Yan, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty.

Chang Xian, by the Xiao family, reminds people of the role of the background of the mendi, and the clans refer to each other, "Xiangyang flowers and trees are easy to meet spring". However, after the Tang Dynasty, neither the Southern Lanling Noring nor the Northern Lanling were associated with the names of celebrities.

According to the example created by Ma Qian of the Taishi company, Chinese history is based on celebrity biographies as keels. In the format of the biography, the first sentence is the name of the master, and the second sentence is his place of origin, for example, "Xiao Wangzhi, a native of Lanling, East China Sea." "Shuguang, East China Sea Lanling people." Because the word "Lanling people" appears many times in the history books, so that at that time, such a common sentence as "I am a Lanling person" was given a special meaning by others. Mr. Wang Siyan, the Guangxu Wushu Jinshi of the ancestral lanling, also carved a large seal, which was used in the zhongtang or the large works of the Yang Lian, and the text was called "Wang Siyan Donghai Lanlingren" to express his self-expectations.

Now, Lanling people have a big unexpected gain, that is, the author of "Golden Bottle Plum" "Lanling Laughing and Laughing". Originally regarded as a "vulgar" "obscene book", "Jin Ping Mei" has been booming for several years, and some people say that it is the earliest and largest naturalistic novel in China, which is remarkable; others say that its wonderful essence is outside the text, and the Zen realm is profound. A novel can withstand critics from delving into and discussing it from two different angles of realism and symbolism, of course, it is not a mortal product, and in the ancestral halls of the Lanling people, only its author is empty.

Counting the generations of sages, the broadening has had the greatest impact on me.

Mr. Shu lao was a han dynasty official. His nephew Shufu was also an official in the dynasty, at least Fu. Taifu is one of the three dukes, and Shaofu is one of the three orphans, both of which are very high titles.

Shuguang met the good emperor, and the eunuch's journey went smoothly. But Mr. Shu said to his nephew, "Contentment is not humiliating, shame is not lost", let's retire early.

The uncle and nephew returned from illness, and the emperor gave them a lot of gold. Ershu returned to his hometown and distributed the gold to his relatives and old guests. Some people asked them why they did not leave it to their descendants, and Shu Guang said that the descendants "are wise and rich, and they will lose their will; if they are foolish and rich, they will benefit their faults." It was a famous saying.

Lanling once had a wide jurisdiction in history, with the era of Lanling County and the era of Lanling County, which can be called the Great Lanling. In modern times, Lanling is a township that originally belonged to Linyi, and later established Cangshan County, which was assigned to Cangshan, which is Xiaolanling.

Ershu's former residence is in the west of Lanling Town, about twenty miles from the town. Xiao Wang's tomb is in the north of Lanling Town, and the townspeople falsely call it the tomb of King Xiao. They were obviously all Da LanLing people.

In the era of Xiaolanling, the former residence of Ershu was in the territory of Yixian County, which can also be said to be a native of Yixian County. At present, the abandoned county of Yixian County is a city, which belongs to Zaozhuang City, and Ershu can be said to be Zaozhuang people.

The origin of the author of "Jin Ping Mei" may also be like this?

When I was a child, I visited ershu's former residence.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Lanling was occupied by the Japanese army, and my family moved to the countryside to live, and there is a way that "big chaos lives in the countryside, and small chaos lives in the city."

For a time he lived in the west of Lanling. One day in a certain month, my father took me back to Lanling, and his old man specially went around a bend to pass by the side of Ershu's former residence.

Ershu is a Han Dynasty, and his former residence has not been rebuilt several times in later generations, but now he only sees the empty land surrounded by high walls, built walls with soil, and reconciled with the countryside in the landscape, but it does not lose the intention of Ershu Dun to be close to neighborliness.

The townspeople called this place Ershu City, and used "city" to show respect for the sages. He also built a platform in the place where the gold was scattered in that year to commemorate the righteous deeds of Ershu.

I didn't seem to see the high platform, and the walls of the Ershu City were broken. Looking inside the wall from the outside of the wall, I saw only a ginkgo tree with towering leaves, testifying to the ancients in the remnants of the west wind.

My father told the story of the second resignation of the official Sanjin, and I was greatly moved. When I got home, I searched the "Biography of Famous People in Chinese Dynasties" that I had obtained from the Shanghai Jingwei Bookstore by mail, and found the combined biography of Ershu. This hardcover tome is just a rearrangement of the biographies in the main history one by one, without paragraphs, without punctuation, exactly the same as the line-bound book, perhaps a few more typos than the line-bound book.

At that time, I did not seek much understanding of the texts, but fortunately, Ershu's biography was not ancient and short. I wrote in letters with a brush, copied down the biography of Ershu, and pasted it on the right side of the seat, fantasizing about the sounds and smiles of the ancients and the way they were in and out. Years later, I imitated their light wealth and righteousness outside, and I also wrote their deeds into radio scripts.

Lanling wine tulips

During the Warring States period, Lanling belonged to the Chu State, and Chun Shenjun was in power, appointing Xun Qing of Zhao as the Lanling Order. After the death of Chun Shenjun, Xun Qing resigned from his official position, settled down in Lanling, and devoted himself to writing in his later years, which was compiled into the book "Xunzi" by later generations.

"Xunzi" is an important classic. Lanling provided the environment for Xun Qing in his later years to write, and was the town's greatest contribution to Chinese culture. Lan Ling also dipped in the light of this great Confucian, and in the world of the Warring States, it was glorious in the annals of history and became famous throughout the ages.

People who study Xunzi say that the Lanling people love Xunqing very much and like to use "Qing" as their name. There should be no problem for the Lanling people to love Xun Qing, otherwise Xun Qing would not have given his writings to Lan Ling.) As for the Lanling people's name as Qing, there seems to be no trace of it.

After Xun Qing's death, he was buried in Lanling, about three miles outside the east gate of Lanling Town, there was the tomb of Xun Zi, and the townspeople falsely called Shun Ziqing.

The tomb is a cube, flat roof, serene and modest shape, but the size is very large, I climbed up when I was a child and turned over the heel. Later, according to the data, the ancient tomb is thirty meters long, twenty meters wide, and six meters high, equivalent to a house.

Xun Qing's official position is only Lan LingLing, Xiao Wangzhi is Taifu, but Xiao Tomb is not as famous as Xun Tomb, and it is not as "good-looking" as Xun Tomb.

Wang Dingjun | Guanshan is difficult to cross, my hometown is unforgettable, Lanling Xunzi

When I was a child, I also passed by the tomb of Xiao Wangzhi, and I was under the impression that the shape was a traditional earth bun style, but it was unusually tall and looked like a cone. There are more than one tomb, arranged in a glyph shape, and I thought that when the tomb was built, there was a suspicious tomb, which was set up for tomb robbers, so that they did not know where to start. Later, when I looked at the information, I learned that "Yu is the burial place of the sons". Xiao Wangzhi committed suicide by losing a political struggle, but his tomb still has a wealth and pride.

Lan Ling did not seem to have produced any Xunxue experts, and his eyes were full of followers of Kong Meng. When I was studying at the family school, I asked for a glimpse of Xunzi, and the teacher said, "He is not a saint!" ”

Later, I was still affected by Xunzi, which was after I was in my forties.

What the Lanling people appreciate and relish is the wine they brew. They said that Lanling was the place where Du Kang made wine.

At that time, Li Taibai "went all over the princes and arrived at the Qing Dynasty", traveled through Shandong, drank the fine wine produced by Lanling, and composed a seven-word poem. Poetry Cloud:

Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls filled with amber light.

But so that the master can get drunk, do not know where is the other country.

In Li Bai's works, this is a very common seven-piece song, but Li Bai is not an ordinary person. As soon as this poem came out, Chinese literature immediately added several allusions: Lanling wine, Lanling drunk, Lanling Tujin, Lanling amber. Lanling also gave rise to an industry: winemaking. Li Taibai said a word, and the Lanling people became rich.

It is said that Lanling fine wine has several characteristics.

First, it is said that the wine is afraid of crossing the river, and the bottle of wine that was originally full was transported from the north bank to the south bank, which was naturally reduced by one-third. Lanling wine does not have this kind of loss.

Second, it is said that the aroma of Lanling wine is particularly rich. In China, "wine is the length of a hundred medicines", there is always a medicinal smell in the wine, and Lanling wine is a rare exception. Drinking ordinary shochu, mellow and delicious in the mouth, but the aftertaste spoils the sense of smell, only Lanling fine wine, "even the wine burp is not difficult to smell."

Third, alcoholism is enough to cause illness, but Lanling's father believes that it is safer to drink the fine wine they brew. Wang Ying of the Ming Dynasty said in the "Food Materia Medica", "Lanling wine is fragrant and far away, drinking until it is drunk, no headache, no dry mouth, no diarrhea." Its water is weighed more than other waters, and its neighbors are not. ”

For wine, lanling people have his subjective beliefs. Entering Lanling and not liking the shochu brewed by Lanling is tacitly acceptable; entering Lanling and praising and degrading Lanling's fine wine is beyond the limits of tolerance and is regarded as great malice.

I think that the people of each region will find a few things in the local area to pin their collective self-esteem on, and based on the principle of harmlessness, you had better accept their standard of value.

Wang Dingjun | Guanshan is difficult to cross, my hometown is unforgettable, Lanling Xunzi

A long time ago, in Lanling, I should have learned this.

As you can imagine, there are many wineries and hotels in Lanling. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, in the heyday of Lanling brewing industry, eighteen brands were thriving, and branches were everywhere inside and outside the hundred miles.

Winemaking is an industry with certain rules and procedures. However, the same master and the same ingredients may not be able to make the same wine every time. Just like Wang Xizhi wrote the Orchid Pavilion collection, he wrote it several times, only the first time he wrote it out the best. So, winemaking is art again.

Sometimes, under the guidance of the master wine master, all the workers do what they should do, but in the end there is no trickle, or the smell of bad water is pungent. The situation was terrible, with the shopkeeper losing his capital and the wine chef losing his reputation. Since the results of the best efforts cannot be guaranteed, then the begging for destiny is added. Therefore, winemaking is also a religion.

Fine wine has its own unique recipe, the main ingredient is millet. The wine should be buried in the ground for a year, and when the thunder is heard, the cellar will be opened and taken out.

In fact, when I was a child, "ancient concocted" wine was difficult to buy in a hotel, and frankly, I had never seen it.

Governor Fan County

Generally speaking, the luck of the Lanling people is good.

The terrain of Lanling Town is a square high platform, which is very suitable for building houses and building cities. I borrowed this image in Broken Glass. Thinking that when the Han people roamed the lower reaches of the Yellow River to find land to survive, the ancestors suddenly discovered the homeland created by heaven and earth, and they must have been ecstatic.

Due to the high terrain, rheumatism and scabies are rare diseases, and the burial of the deceased is rarely found in the coffin in water afterwards. Bandits are coming, the townspeople are condescending, and the defense is dominant.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancestors established a small "country" here. It is said that because the water quality of Lanling is good, it can make good wine. Later, experts told them that if the wine is good, the soil must be good, and good crops will grow. Later, experts said that to produce good wine, there must be good air. Lanling people look at Lanling, the more they look at the benefits.

Before and after the Northern Expedition, bandits used the Yimeng Mountains as a base and robbed the townships of Lunan, and Lanling was no exception. However, the bandits who came to Lanling did not kill people, did not rape women, but only had property. This band of bandits has their own philosophy, they believe that being a bandit is equivalent to doing business, seeking profit from the original, and the "principal" is their own life. Why bleed? Blood can't be used as money! rape? Why bother, tomorrow on the first shot!

Of course, Lanling also had landlords, and there were large landlords, liquidated, and bowed down one by one to confess their sins. However, the "model" landlord, the landlord like in "The White-Haired Girl", is not yet available.

In modern times, Lanling is very closed and conservative. But with their feet down, their braids cut, and their vernacular writings, Lanling has masters who create a culture in a timely manner. Going south to Huangpu to resist Japan, going north to the Yan'an Revolution, and studying Capital behind closed doors, all have prophetic foresight.

Wang Dingjun | Guanshan is difficult to cross, my hometown is unforgettable, Lanling Xunzi

The city wall of Lanling is three miles from east to west, five miles from north to south, and it is wide and can be galloped, which is where I walked when I was a child. There are famous inscriptions on all four sides of the city gate, the east gate is "Donghai Jingqing", the north gate is "Wenfeng Yingxiu", the south gate is "Qutong Huaixu", and the west gate is "Kuida Zoulu". Although it is a small town, it is not small.

Fan Zhuxian served as the county magistrate of Linyi County and was the parent official of the Lanling people. To be able to serve the people under the governance of such a good official is also a feng shui spirit, and three lives are fortunate.

The first advantage of Governor Fan is that he does not want money. For those who are the chief executives, greed is the source of all evil, and honesty is the medium of all good.

His second virtue is that he is not afraid of death, "the benevolent will have courage."

At that time, there were many bandits in Linyi, and the discipline of the army was not good, and people at that time called it "soldier harm" and "bandit plague". People who have always been county magistrates turned a blind eye and did not dare to be serious, lest the soldiers and bandits retaliate violently.

Governor Fan was not afraid. At that time, the people were allowed to have guns in self-defense, and large families even maintained a small militia for many years. The governor of Fan County organized these township heroes, conducted military training, and connected the armed forces of various villages to establish a command system; there were police officers in one village, and each village came to the rescue, and at the same time, backed by regular troops, the bandits did not dare to act rashly.

Military harm is more difficult to eliminate. Fortunately, at that time, the Nationalist government also knew that the military damage was serious, and had to stop the boiling, and ordered that all county chiefs should concurrently serve as military judges, and in some cases, military judges had the right to impose the death penalty. The governor of Fan County picked up this Shang fang sword and brandished it, effectively deterring the soldiers.

In the garrison in Linyi City, officers often warned the soldiers: "I can spare you, but I am afraid that Fan Daya will not be able to spare you." "The front teeth of The governor of Fan County are extraordinarily large and have such a nickname.

Fan's term of office in Linyi was from 1933 to 1936. Later, he was transferred to Liaocheng to be promoted to administrative inspector. Soon, the War of Resistance against Japan broke out, and the Japanese army attacked Liaocheng. Commissioner Fan had served as a brigade commander in the Beiyang Army and was originally a tiger general. He did not go to defend the territory, and was killed in the fierce battle, and Mr. Wang Yancheng, the honorable commander of our hometown, participated in this battle in blood, and the breakthrough was spared.

Yue Fei once stressed that "civilian officials do not love money, and military attaches are not afraid of death." Mr. Fan Zhuxian had both conditions, exceeding yue Wumu's hanging standards. Expected to become a ren day, Jingzhong Yue Fei greeted his soul at the gate of heaven.

Another characteristic of Fan Zhuxian's administration is "diligence." He is said to have worked all day and had almost no private life.

Several major policies he was ordered to carry out, such as land surveying, such as strictly prohibiting opium, such as the use of soldiers in agriculture, were very easy to abuse their power for personal gain, because of the ugly accumulation, but the governor of Fan County carried out it without harsh interference.

In the summer of 1935, when the Yellow River broke through and the floods in Shandong were severe, a large number of refugees poured in, and the governor of Fan County smoothly and smoothly handled the disaster relief.

In the local administration of that year, some people called it "gentry politics", and the gentry from all over the country acted as the government's agent, and those who were officials were completely successful as long as they got the cooperation of the gentry.

The interests of the gentry and the general agronomy, industry and commerce could not be completely aligned, so some good laws and good intentions were not spared from the gentry's blockade. This shortcoming could not be remedied by the system at that time, and only by relying on the "virtuous ministers" to get out of the bureaucratic system of hierarchical responsibility for layers of temperance, to break through the Great Wall of gentry structure with personal charm and personal will, and to enter and exit the world of "the sky is clear and the wilderness is vast". In this way, the "virtuous" must be diligent and hardworking.

Mr. Fan Zhuxian did that kind of person and that kind of thing in that era and that environment.

There are two things that I have left an indelible impression on Fan.

I only had two chances to see him. The first time, he inspected Lanling and stopped by to see the primary school where we were studying. We suspended classes, cleaned up, were ordered to wear clean clothes, wash our faces to our necks, and cut our nails short. On the same day, the queue was lined up on the playground inside the school gate, and the team was temporarily specially organized to put the white, fat and pleasing children in the forefront.

The county magistrate appeared, and everyone clapped their hands in unison to follow the rehearsal in advance. I thought he was going to lecture, but he didn't, but just walked past us, from the beginning of the line to the end of the line, and looked at us carefully. He was tall, thin-faced, with sharp eyes, particularly long front teeth, and fingers like he had practiced eagle claw skills. Yet he was not terrible. Every few steps he took, he reached out and touched the top of a child's head, and everyone wanted to be chosen by him.

He didn't touch me. His hand used to reach over me and reach over my shoulder. His target was in the rear of my left. Heaven and earth conscience, that classmate's appearance is not as decent as mine. Maybe it's because he's darker than me, haggard than me. Most of the people he caressed were not full and delicate Chinese dolls, in other words, most of them were in the back row, and at the end of the row.

Wang Dingjun | Guanshan is difficult to cross, my hometown is unforgettable, Lanling Xunzi

The second time I was able to see him was because he was leaving Linyi, and before going to Liaocheng to take up his post, he went to every district in Linyi County to bid farewell. Lanling is the eighth district.

In the farewell scene, we primary school students are an indispensable embellishment. The main body is two long columns on both sides of the street with endless incense cases, and behind the incense cases stand local gentry and grass-roots officials. On the wall behind these figures hung large slogans made of red cloth strips, thanking the government and congratulating them on their new positions. The slogan is connected, and the gray Lanling seems to have makeup and a radiant glow. In that year, the slogan was written with a brush and a brush, and Lanling had several writers, and this time they all mobilized to play, which was nothing more than a large-scale calligraphy exhibition.

The incense case does not burn incense, but a bowl of water, a mirror side, a piece of tofu, and a few green onions, which are used to symbolize the "clear like water, bright like mirror" and "clear and white" of Fan County. There are also two glasses of sake and a business card of the owner, indicating farewell. I saw the county magistrate walking all the way surrounded by many people,—— district chief, town mayor, police chief, primary school principal, and there were also retinues of guards,—— firecrackers shook the sky, and the smoke filled the ground. This time he didn't look at us much and went all the way to the incense case.

There are two glasses of wine on the incense case. Fan Shi stood at the table, holding up a cup of ,—— on the right was a guest,—— spilling wine on the ground. That's it, table after table. Lanling was already full of wine in the street, and this day was even more intoxicating. The attaché took out one of Fan's business cards and placed them on the table, took back the business card that the owner had placed on the table, and put it into the worship box in his hand. In this way, in the sound of firecrackers, Fan's table after table was saluted, and he was meticulous and meticulous.

Fan's route is to enter the North Gate and exit the West Gate. Inside and outside the West Gate, the number of incense cases is still increasing. Farmers from the four townships, smelling the wind, brought fresh fruits and vegetables they had just picked. When I came to Lanling, I found that I needed a table and a wine glass, so I borrowed it from the residents on the street. My family lent two square tables and six wine glasses. Some people who come from afar to help the elderly and children come to visit.

It is said that according to tradition, outgoing officials must leave amid the sound of firecrackers, and the cold is the most taboo. The so-called farewell is usually a ceremony in front of the dozen or twenty tables, and from then on, the following is exempt from the cliché, so as not to delay the time for too long. Governor Fan broke with the convention that day, and even those tables that were added temporarily, those that did not lay tablecloths and did not have business cards, he treated them equally. On that day, although Lanling Town prepared a lot of firecrackers, it was still not enough. This long list of hundred whips, which were procured by the county town, could not be replenished temporarily. Governor Fan did not care, and his sincerity did not diminish in the slightest.

Fan Shi went out and never accepted hospitality, this time after lunch to leave before dinner. By the time he got into the car, it was already sunset. He hadn't had dinner yet, and neither had I, and our party had only disbanded at this time, and all the incense cases had begun to be removed at this time. At that time, I felt so hungry! I think he must be hungry too.

There is no doubt that this person has also given me a great influence.
