Under the city of Jiandemei, the two waters meet
Jiande is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou, and is a small city in Jiangnan with beautiful scenery. The two sources of the Qiantang River originate from the Xin'an River in the southern Anhui Mountains and the Qujiang-Lanjiang River in southwest Zhejiang, where they converge in Jiande, initially called the Fuchun River, then pass through Tonglu and Fuyang, go straight to Hangzhou, and then call the Qiantang River to Xiaoshan. This passage is the scenery belt of Wu Jun's "Book with Zhu Yuansi" that "strange mountains and rivers are unique in the world".
There are many people who know the name of Jiande, but if we talk about Yanzhou, there are probably not many people who know today. Yanzhou was once a famous prefecture in the Song, Yuan, and Qing dynasties (the Song Dynasty named JiandeFu, which was changed to Yanzhou Prefecture during the Ming Hongwu period), with jurisdiction over the six counties of Jiande, Shouchang, Tonglu, Fenshui, Chun'an, and Sui'an, and Meicheng in Jiande was the seat of government. After the Republic of China, the county was abolished, and Yanzhou became a historical term.
When I think of Yanzhou, the first thing that comes to mind is the fuchun river, the mother river of this land, and the story of love and friendship that happened on the fuchun river. The Fuchun River and its upper reaches of the Xin'an River and Qujiang River once distributed "fishermen with nine surnames", and Chen was the head of the nine surnames. Their families are unarmed, living on boats for many years, engaged in fishing and shipping, and some women are forced by life to use mobile boats as a base to engage in pornography. This is a group of "untouchables" who are despised by people living on land, and their origins vary. Legend has it that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu reduced Chen Youyi's clan and his subordinates to water untouchables for personal grievances, and were not allowed to live ashore. It has also been suggested that the natives of Huizhou, who resisted the army led by Xu Da, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, were punished after their defeat. Liang Shaoren of the Qing Dynasty's "Essays on the Two Autumn Rains" Yun: "Jiangshan Boat Woman is known as 'Sister-in-law of the same year', and the woman is known as 'Sister of the Same Year', and xiang does not understand its meaning, and inquires about the boat people, who knows: 'All those who are engaged in this industry are Tonglu and Yanzhou people, so the name Tong Yan yue is the same year, and the word is also false. In fact, the "Nine Surname Boat Households" are a branch of the Yan people, who are China's "water gypsies" and have a wide range of activities, not only on the water surface of Zhejiang, but also on the inland rivers of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi. They are a branch of the ancient Baiyue people, whose customs of living on the water existed long before the Ming Dynasty.
Because of their long-term life on the water, the people, including the "fishermen with nine surnames", formed a unique wedding and funeral ceremony. Taking the wedding as an example, the marriage is held on the boat, the male ship is close to the woman's boat, maintaining a distance of three feet, the bride sits in the wooden basin, and the woman's boat floats to the man's boat, which is considered to be married. On the wedding ceremony, the families of both parties ask their own people to sing and fight with each other's singers.
Remnants of Jiande Fishermen's Water Wedding
Baoting, a royal disciple of the Tongzhi and Guangxu dynasties in the Qing Dynasty and a famous scholar, once took a woman with the surname of Jiu on the Fuchun River as a concubine and brought it back to the city of Beijing. I don't know if this yellow belt man has ever held this kind of ceremony on the river?
Love Shin Kyora. Bao Ting, zi Shaoxi, and Zhupo, were direct descendants of prince Zheng's faction in Heshuo. His family is one of the few poetry and book families in the yellow belt, and the father, himself, and son are all jinshi for three generations. Baoting was the first in the seventh year of Tongzhi's examination, and there were six jinshi in the second rank in the temple examination. With such a background, the official field should be very smooth. Bao Ting was an exception, he was very angry about the corruption of the Qing court at that time, often went to the qing court to direct advice, became an important member of the "Qingliu Party", and chen Baochen, Zhang Peilun, Deng Chengxiu and called the "four advices". Baoting is rich in poetic talent, is a poet in the same light age, the life is informal, and he is known as a gentleman.
In the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1873), Bao Tingdian Zhejiang Township Test, bought a boat prostitute, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, did not dare to share the boat, let the woman he bought take another boat to the north, to the Tongzhou Luhe Wharf after he went to meet him. Who knew that he had been let go of the pigeons, that the woman had run away early, and that the people had run out of money. However, this royal son seems to have an obsession with the woman surnamed JiuFuido, that is, he is not dead. In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), Baoting, who was already a rebbe attendant, was instructed to take the Fujian Township Test, and in the era when water transport was king, he would definitely take a boat to Pass through the Fuchun River and its upper Qu River. Bao Ting also bought a concubine on the side of the Qu River. This time, I learned my lesson and did not dare to let it fly alone, but went north together. When the boat arrived at Yuanpu on the Qiantang River, the magistrate was blind to the mountain, thinking that it was a swindler and a deceitful person, so he boarded the boat to check. When Bao Ting saw that he was an official of the imperial court and bought a concubine during his time as the chief examiner of the township examination, once it was passed out, how could he be accommodated in the official field? Simply confess your sins and seek forgiveness. So he wrote to the court to impeach himself. According to historical records, Baoting's "review letter" of self-impeachment to Lafayette was written like this:
"There are nine fishing boats in the Yanqiantang River, which began in the Ming Dynasty, and when they tried to return to Quzhou, they took the Jiangshan boat, and the boat people had women, and they were eighteen years old, and the slaves had five deceased brothers, all of whom had no heirs, and the slaves only had two sons, and they did not have enough to be separated, so they bought them as concubines."
In ancient times, filial piety was used to govern the country, and this reason was very bright and justified. The five brothers, only they have two sons, want to succeed the brothers as heirs, not enough points, so they buy concubines to continue the bloodline for Ai Xinjue Luoshi. Speaking of this, the attitude is so active and sincere, Lafayette is not embarrassed to punish him, after all, he is his own son. So Bautin was dismissed from his post and retired early.
Why did Bautin impeach himself? This is his cleverness, as one of the "Four Counselors", he did not know how many officials had been impeached, and he had a grudge against the Dynasty, and people could not do anything with him. Now that such a big thing has happened to himself, it is conceivable that the enemy family's fall into the well is a conceivable thing, so it is better to take the initiative to impeach himself, ask Lafayette for guilt, and block the mouths of others.
Li Ciming, a famous poisonous tongue of Shilin and a talented son of Shaoxing, certainly would not let go of such an opportunity to degrade his peers, and he wrote a poem mocking Baoting on this matter:
In the past years, Zhejiang water carried empty flowers, and saw the Min Niang on the messenger;
The Eight Banners of the Sect Room are famous for the grass, and the nine surnames of Jiangshan are beautiful and hemp.
Once because of the righteous daughter playing Wubai, he used to eat white tea in Beijing;
In order to report to the imperial court for expulsion, ShiLang is now a fisherman.décolleté.
The first sentence says that Baoting was put pigeons in Zhejiang in the classic test, and the second sentence of "Min Niang" is only for the opposite of "Zhejiang Water", referring to his concubine on the way to Fujian, not that the woman bought it in Fujian. As a royal courtier, he fell under the pomegranate skirt of a nine-surnamed shipwife. "Nine surnames in Jiangshan" does not mean that Na's concubines are from Jiangshan County, Quzhou, and the people are floating on the water and have no household registration in the local area. Because that kind of boat first appeared in Jiangshan County, it was called "Jiangshan Ship". There are two interpretations of "beauty hemp", one is that there are many beauties of the nine surnamed fishermen, and the other is that the woman has several grains of hemp on her face, which is more handsome. The above sentence of the neck link says that The Ministry of Works Shangshu He Shouci once recognized the wife of Li Chunshan as a righteous daughter, and He Fuqi as a deputy imperial envoy, and Bao Ting, together with Zhang Peilun and Huang Tifang, impeached He to go to the official. According to the "Book of Han Zhu Bo Biography", there are cypress trees in the Imperial History Platform, and thousands of crows inhabit it, so the Imperial History Terrace is called "Wutai", also known as "Baitai". The two sentences at the end can be described as a bitter ridicule. In the Qing Yongzheng Dynasty, for the untouchables such as lehu, lazy people, beggar households, servants, companions, and yanhu households, they were ordered to be expelled from the nationality, opened up to the people, incorporated into the main household, and allowed to buy property to settle down and take examinations. However, the power of habit is incomparably strong, and the influence of this imperial court edict is limited, and it has not changed the discriminatory atmosphere of the public, and most of the people still have not been able to leave the water and enter normal society. Therefore, Li Ciming said that as a disciple of the clan, Baoting led by example and became the son-in-law of a fisherman with nine surnames as a waiter.
To the daughter of the fisherman, Baoting has true love, even if he abandons the future of his career. He expressed his regret in poems many times, in the "Jiangshan Boat Song" cloud: "Originally, if the bell was like a floating cloud, it may not be a disaster for the water." "Clearly oppose the theory that red faces are evil to the water. Another of his poems mocks the matter:
Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hengwen had a wide vision, and twice brought prostitutes into Chang'an.
Wei Chen is lustful by nature, and only loves Emei and does not love officials.
