The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the golden laurel is fragrant. The second stop of the cultural tour and study tour organized by the China Mei Lanfang Culture and Art Research Association is the beautiful Xuancheng.
Xuancheng is a national historical and cultural city, a national health city, a national garden city, a national forest city, and a national civilized city. It is the city of stars in our hearts, the city of longing.
Xuancheng has a long history and a rich culture, since ancient times, it has the saying of "South Xuanbei Union", and has the reputation of the hometown of fish and rice in Jiangnan. It has a history of more than 2,000 years since the establishment of the county in the Western Han Dynasty.
Xuancheng Wuhua Tianbao. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been a large county in Jiangdong. During the Jin Yongjia period, the first cultural prosperity was opened, which lasted for six dynasties. Within the territory, there are four treasures of literature, Huizhou culture, poetry culture, folk culture, food culture, religious culture, Zong culture coexist and prosper, known as "Xuancheng since ancient poets", "Shangjiang humanistic grand xuancheng".
Xuancheng people are brilliant. Since the establishment of the county in the second year of the Western Han Dynasty (109 BC), Xuancheng has been the seat of the county, prefecture, capital, and road in the past, and Fan Ye, Xie Juan, Shen Kuo, and Wen Tianxiang have successively served as the Taishou of Xuancheng. Xuancheng is the hometown of the poet Mei Yaochen, the mathematician Mei Wending, the Huangshan school meiqing, the red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan, the new cultural movement standard-bearer Hu Shi, the famous Huimo artist Hu Kaiwen, the scholar Wu Zujian, the calligrapher Wu Yuru, and the calligrapher Wu Zuoren.
Xuancheng has been a famous city in Jiangdong since ancient times, and has the reputation of "Xuancheng, the grand head of the Shangjiang humanities, the mei clan of the old clan of Xuancheng", and "the plum blossoms of Xuancheng everywhere". The thick humanistic history of Xuancheng is represented by the Mei family culture that began in the Later Tang Dynasty and went through the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which lasted for a thousand years. It is characterized by the combination of the family philosophy of poetry and book heirloom and the spirit of self-improvement and maverick plum blossoms.
The thousand-year-old Xuancheng culture shows mei's style. In the history of Xuancheng, many Mei celebrities and scientific giants have made important contributions to the development of Chinese civilization. For example, the Song Dynasty poet Mei Yaochen, known as the "founding ancestor" of Song poetry, mathematician Mei Wending, is recognized by the world as one of the three major scientific giants. The literary scholar Mei Dingzuo made significant contributions to the development of Chinese opera. Bibliophile Mei Dingzuo, Zihui compiler Mei Bingzuo, Huangshan school painter Mei Qing, Xueheng school founder Mei Guangdi and so on. They have made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese civilization in literature, opera, calligraphy and painting, or mathematics and astronomical calendars, and left a rich cultural heritage for Xuancheng.
Although the descendants of the Xuancheng Mei clan have undergone dynastic changes, as long as the incense remains, the cultural context continues to extend. Plum blossom is the family totem of the Mei surname, and is the spirit and character of the Mei surname. "Han mo wind fragrance, generation has talents". In this way, a unique cultural phenomenon of "Xuancheng plum blossoms blooming everywhere" in history has been formed.
With a thousand years of family history, Xuancheng Mei's culture, which integrates literature, science and technology, and art, is the banner of Xuancheng's excellent traditional culture and the spiritual highland of The national Mei's culture. With the strong support of xuancheng city party committee and municipal government, excavating and sorting out the remains of Mei's culture, publishing Mei's cultural works, and building a cultural theme park on the site of Mei's former residence to display and publicize Mei's culture is not only a major measure for Xuancheng City Party Committee and Municipal Government to revitalize the city and strengthen the city, but also an affirmation and respect for the mei family culture. I am extremely proud to be a member of the Mei family.
Culture is the blood of the nation and the spiritual homeland of the people. Throughout the history of the development of human society, culture is not only manifested in the guiding role of social development, but also in the normative and regulatory role of society, and also in the cohesion and driving role of society.
Culture is the soul of the nation and the soft power of competition in today's world. Xuancheng Meishi culture is part of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. The culture of a nation is regional, national, and worldly. Revisiting the path traveled by one or more families and groups, and thinking about the times in which they live and the various accidents and inevitabilities of social development, will help enrich our spiritual space, as well as our understanding and grasp of history, as well as our respect and self-confidence in culture.
Our cultural trip was only three days in Xuancheng, especially the academic exchanges with Xuancheng cultural scholars, which were very fruitful. We understand and learn the essence of Xuancheng Mei's culture, increase cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, enhance the sense of responsibility of the times for carrying forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and realizing the revitalization of Chinese national culture.
