When you arrive in Meishan City, Sichuan Province, you will arrive at su Dongpo's hometown.
There are not only three Su Ancestral Halls, but also Dongpo District, Dongpo Street, Dongpo Community, Dongpo Urban Wetland Park, Dongpo Impression Water Street, as well as Dongpo Avenue, Zizhan Avenue (Su Shi), Ziyou (Su Rui) Road, Su Xun Road, Dongpo Lake Square, etc.
Su Dongpo was a famous writer, poet, calligrapher, painter, politician, educator, traveler, gourmet, and water control celebrity in Chinese history.
When you get to Meishan, if there is no Dongpo meat and Dongpo elbow in the restaurant, you may not be able to operate normally.
Su Dongpo once visited the Yongxiu area of Jiangxi And cured the child of a local farmer. The farmer thanked him and left him to eat. During the banquet, Su Dongpo recited a poem: "Grass pearls penetrate the heart.". The farmer who was cooking in the stove listened, thinking that Su Dongpo was teaching him how to cook meat - "and grass cooked through the heart", so he quickly put the pork and the straw tied to the meat into the pot to cook, which was later called "Dongpo elbow".
In the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), four students of Sichuan University improved and popularized the "Dongpo Elbow" system.
In December 2013, Dongpo Elbow was successfully awarded the title of National Geographical Indication Protected Product and became a specialty of Meishan City, and officials in Yongxiu, Jiangxi Province, may cry and faint in the toilet.
Meishan people have brought Su Dongpo's dashing to the extreme, tea hidden Dongpo needless to say, and Buddhists' "tea, respect tea, respect fragrant tea, sit, please sit, please sit" has become a good story throughout the ages.
But the Dongpo Foot Road is a bit crossed, not to mention whether there was foot therapy in the Song Dynasty, even if there is, Su Dongpo's political time is full of opportunities, may not be busy; sometimes even mutton can't afford to eat when it is degraded, where is the leisure to go to foot therapy?
The first time I went to Meishan, I made a special trip to visit the Sansu Temple. Many Chinese literati may be asking: What kind of family, in the cultural peak era of Chinese Tang poetry and Song Ci, the Su family came out of three of the eight tang and Song dynasties?
When you are about to arrive at the Sansu Ancestral Hall, you will first see the archway of "Gu Sha Ling Xing", this street was once the place where Su Xun's wife, Su Shi, and Su Rui's mother, Mrs. Cheng, ran the silk business, and her mother was full of poetry, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, paying attention to the education of children, and also having a business mind, thus achieving the legend of "one door and three fathers and sons".
In the Sansu Ancestral Hall, there is also a scene of Madame Cheng running a yarn walk.
There are many experts and scholars at home and abroad who study Su Dongpo, but I don't know if they have all been to Meishan and have visited the Sansu Temple? The "Three Character Classic" tells "Xi Mengmu, choose the neighbor", but does not tell the story of Su Mu weaving and teaching her son.
In fact, Su Dongpo was not only relegated to Eat Lychees in Huizhou, Lingnan, because his hometown of Meishan (Meizhou) also had lychees (Danli). Otherwise, how could Su Dongpo's friend Cai Zihua plant Danli in the courtyard of his old mansion and hope that Su Dongpo would return to his hometown as soon as possible?
The Hanbai Jade Bridge in Dongpo Impression Water Street is basically named "Yanyu Bridge" and "Chunxiao Bridge" based on Su Dongpo's poems or famous sentences in articles.
When my family and I recently went to Dongpo Impression Water Street, it was on the eve of the Mid-Yuan Festival in July, and a round of bright moon on the Dongpo Courtyard of Water Street was brilliant, and many tourists naturally sang the ancient famous sentences left by Su Shi to the world: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the blue sky", "I hope that people will be long, thousands of miles together!" ”
