After the hit "Mufu Fengyun", everyone got to know Mu Zeng, the toast of Mufu in Lijiang, Yunnan, during the Ming Dynasty, and was also touched by his love with Aleqiu. There is also a supporting role in it, that is, Xu Xiake, in the TV series, Xu Xiake saved Mu Zeng's life. However, this is a TV series, but Mu Zeng did know Xu Xiake in history, and it was Mu Zeng who sent someone to carry Xu Xiake back to his hometown four thousand kilometers away when Xu Xiake was seriously ill. There are also many interesting stories between them, which have produced extraordinary friendships.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Xu Xiake, who was already an uncle and a senior donkey friend, set off from Jiangyin, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, and began a three-year trip. After all kinds of difficulties, he arrived in Lijiang, but not yet in Mufu. He went to the Chicken Foot Temple and stopped. Mu Zeng knew that he was coming, but he did not come to see him for a long time, and he was very anxious, so he sent someone to the Jizu Temple to personally pick up Xu Xiake. Mu Zeng invited Xu Xiake to live in the Liberation Forest of Zhishan Mountain in Lijiang, which is Mu Zeng's villa and family temple.
Xu Xiake recorded Mu Zeng's hospitality to him: "On the first day of the first month of February, Mu Gong ordered a large number of things to be given to him with a collection of black incense and white gallium (twelve). In the afternoon, a banquet was set up to liberate Lin Dongtang, and the song hair was used to accompany the feast with those with the surname of Xu of Chuxiong. Still with cups, satin (two silver cups, one green crepe), and eighty large dishes, they are listed far away, and it is impossible to distinguish which is the odor. Twilight is scattered. ”
Mu Zeng's hospitality to him can be described as a small feast on three days, a big feast on five days, and later many gold and silver gifts. It can be seen that Mu Zeng and Xu Xiake have formed a deep friendship, and it can also be seen that the local tycoon expresses his feelings so simple and rude. Mu Zeng is not an ordinary local tycoon, Xu Xiake is not so vulgar, Xu Xiake is certainly not because Mu Zeng is generous with him and befriends him. Besides, the two are not of the same ethnic group, nor are they in the same region, so how did they become good friends?

Although Mu Zeng is a Naxi, he is an admirer of Han culture. Mu Zengzi Changqing, a character born white, the number Huayue, if you only look at his name, you will think that he is a Han, and is a Han with a fairy wind Dao bone. In fact, he is a thorough Naxi, but a Naxi who loves Han culture and has a Fairy Wind Dao bone.

In addition to being a toast accident, he was also an outstanding writer, bibliophile, poet, essayist, and calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty. He is the author of 7 poetry collections, including "Yunwei Collection", "Xiaoyue Letter", "Mountain Yiji", "Zhishan Collection", "Empty Cuiju Record", "Guangbilou Anthology", "Yunxue Light Ink" and so on. More than 1,000 poems were collected in the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book of the Zibu Miscellaneous Family". These poems were not ghostwritten by him, they were indeed written by him. Surprised or not? This is why among the Han people at that time, there were few such talents.
History of The Ming Dynasty. Tusi Biography Yun: "Yunnan Zhutu officials know the history books, good manners and righteousness, headed by the Lijiang Mu clan." It can be seen that at that time, the Mu clan toast of the Naxi tribe in Lijiang was second to none in learning and accepting Han culture.
Some netizens want to ask, the toast master is so busy, do you have time to write poetry? This is a good question, of course, the average toast master is not available, but Mu Zeng is different. First, his personal hobby, he would take time to write when he was a toastmaster, and more importantly, from the age of thirty-five, he went to the mountains to live in seclusion and devote himself to literature and art. His position as toast was given to his son Mu Yi, and in the TV series "Mu Fu Fengyun", after the death of his beloved wife Aleqiu, he went to the mountains to live in seclusion. There are similar plots in reality, which are not invented by the director.

What did Xu Xiake do for Mu Zeng Toast during his stay in Lijiang? He sorted out and edited the manuscript of "Yun Wei Dan Mo" written by Mu Zeng, and also instructed Mu Zeng's son Mu Su to write, recording in detail the customs and customs of Lijiang, introducing the living conditions, ethnic relations, etiquette and customs, climate and products of the Naxi settlement, leaving valuable written materials for future generations to study.
When Xu Xiake was in Yunnan, he also completed the writing of "Lijiang Jiluo" and "Jizu Mountain Chronicle", and wrote important works such as "Tracing the Origin of the River", "Records of Flowers and Trees in Central Yunnan", and "The Origin of the King". Among them, the Jinsha River was first proposed as the upper source of the Yangtze River in the "Tracing the Origin of the River", correcting the misunderstanding of the predecessors that the Min River is the source of the Yangtze River.
Former residence of Xu Xiake
Xu Xiake was very talented, but his immortal qi was not as heavy as Mu Zeng's, and his main contribution was to geography. The most well-known book is "Xu Xia's Travels". The collision of these two people has sparked a cross-border spark. Mu Zeng was not a pure literary youth, he was also a leader of the Naxi tribe, he was a toastmaster. He needed a knowledgeable, knowledgeable man to talk to him and tell him about the customs and customs of the place. Such two people can be said to need each other in souls, and they are very reciprocal.

Their days together in Lijiang must have been very pleasant, I don't know if Mu Zeng's wife Aleqiu will be jealous? But the happy days always come to an end, and Xu Xiake is old when she arrives in Lijiang, Yunnan. Later, Xu Xiake fell ill on Jizu Mountain and could not walk. Without Mu Zeng, he might have died. Mu Zeng heard that he was seriously ill, so he sent eight Naxi men to carry him to his hometown in Jiangyin with a sliding pole, a distance of four thousand kilometers, and several people carried him for five months. Such a great grace, in the last rest of Xu Xiake's life, must have often burst into tears when he thought of it. On the verge of death, Xu Xiake, deeply impressed by Mu Zeng's great virtue, instructed his son to face his grave to the southwest to look at his close friend in the southwest, the Mu Zeng Toast of the Naxi tribe. The two of them crossed the region and crossed the friendship of the peoples, and with this tomb, there was a permanent testimony.
More than three hundred years have passed since then, Mu Zeng Toast still has a lofty position in the hearts of the people of Lijiang, Yunnan, Xu Xiake is also immortal because of one of his "Xu Xiake Travels", and the friendship between the two of them has also crossed time and space, passed down to this day, and continues in people's word of mouth. Now, Jiangyin City and Lijiang City have concluded a friendship city, and they will continue their friendship and live happily in the big family of the Chinese nation. #纳西 #
