Naked son's hometown love

Naked son's hometown love

Author | Zhang Keqi

Linqu is a land with special cultural heritage, with deep cultural inheritance and cultural factors. Linqu is known as the hometown of literature, the first yuan of Jiangbei in the Ming Dynasty, Ma Yuqi, was in the front, and the Feng literary family represented by Feng Weimin, the first song of the Ming Dynasty, followed in the future, and then stretched endlessly, with talents emerging, and became a grand view. Among them, a large number of Linqu cultural petites have gone out of their hometowns to work and live in a broader space, and with their special cultural endowments and hard-working disposition, they have achieved themselves and benefited the society, adding a lot of pride to Linqu.

Mr. Zhang Mingzhi is one of the leaders. My understanding of Mr. Zhang Mingzhi began with words. His biographical literature "Out of the Mountain", the long novel "Yingzi" and the long mythological novel "Seven Immortals" all made me love it, and also let me touch a rich and broad heart, and naturally respected him in my heart as a true literary predecessor. Later, I learned more about Mr. Zhang Mingzhi from Teacher Feng Enchang, and I had the expectation of getting to know Mr. Zhang and asking for advice in person. Just as the so-called mind is remembered, there will be an echo. Later, I did have the opportunity to meet with mr. Gentleman, and his elegant demeanor and good conversation made me more respectful. I have come into contact with him a lot, which not only brings a lot of inspiration to my own literary creation, but also has some influence on my behavior.

What is even more valuable is that although Zhang Mingzhi left Linqu very early to work in other places, he always had a strong affection for his homeland, and he could feel his strong heart of a child from many things. In 2014, the Propaganda Department of the Linqu County PARTY Committee wanted to edit and publish a collection of poems, "The Water and Soil of the Hometown", and invited well-known people from Linqu who are currently active on the national propaganda and cultural front to give manuscripts, including Mr. Zhang Mingzhi. After the letter of appointment was sent, Mr. Zhang Mingzhi quickly sent a long article entitled "Nostalgia for Love" to support him despite his busy affairs. At the beginning of the article, he wrote: "Everyone has a land in their hearts that they cherish - that is the homeland. Nostalgia is like a magnet, and it will be attracted all the time. In the thirty spring and autumn months since I left Linqu, despite the wind and dust, I always can't help but think of the clouds and seas of the Yi Mountains, the autumn rain in Shimen, and the winter snow in Longwan. The vast space and leisurely time will not fade the feelings of hometown. "Every word is full of deep affection for hometown, which makes people move when they read it." After the establishment of the Linqu County Writers Association in 2016, in order to provide a position for the majority of literature lovers to publish their works and communicate with each other, Linqu Literature Magazine was founded. After Mr. Zhang Mingzhi saw it, he not only immediately gave affirmation and encouragement, but also gave manuscripts to Linqu Literature many times. A small internal publication in my hometown has been able to get such care and love from a well-known gentleman, which has brought us more than just touching.

One day in the summer of this year, I had the privilege of getting Mr. Zhang Mingzhi's newly published poetry collection "Yishan Poetry Rhymes". Reading the scrolls, the 130 poems included in the book were all written about Yishan. In my heart, I felt a deep sigh: Where is this poem, it is clearly a pure heart exposed in front of me. This mountain in his hometown, in Zhang Mingzhi's heart, is not just a mountain in the simple sense, but a hometown totem in his heart. From 1961, when Zhang Mingzhi, a teenager who was only 17 years old, wrote his first poem for Yishan, to the age of ancient times and still tirelessly creating for Yishan, it spanned 56 years. 56 years of time and years are enough to make many things fade and become lighter or even forgotten, but for Zhang Mingzhi, no matter where he is, no matter how many vicissitudes he has experienced, his heart has always stood high on this Yi Mountain. As a famous journalist, poet and writer, Zhang Mingzhi has been to countless famous mountains and rivers, why does Du Du have such a special love for Yishan? There may be only one reason: this is the mountain of his hometown.

Because of the deep affection, it is poetic everywhere. The grass and trees, stone and spring of Yishan Mountain have infinite meaning in the heart of Mr. Zhang Mingzhi. "The Jade Emperor is like a light at the top, and the Lou Ancestral Hall Fuyan Xuan is slightly hidden." Listen to the birds on the cliffs, sit on the rock and look at Fuso. It was a poem he wrote at the top of Yishan Mountain; "Lying on his back, Tiangong Qiaoshi Returned to heaven." Sentient canopy spirit stone, hip hop pig essence flower mountain. "It is his brilliant pen of the Eight Precepts Stone; "The sun is permeable and the water is auspicious, and the moon lock is covered with a mysterious lotus." The sun and the moon are the same as the divine state blessing, and the mountain edge of the splendid town is explained. It is his interpretation of the Baizhangya Waterfall; "Yao Bai dust dreams are illusory, and Han Bai Chaoxia is also covered in red." Ginkgo biloba millennium dragon and phoenix edge, ancient locust three plants of celestial phenomenon gong. It was his contemplation in the Temple of Dongzhen.

I have thought more than once that for Zhang Mingzhi, because of Yishan, he is lucky, Yishan not only let him have a kind of spiritual refuge, with the display and expression of talent, but also gave him the tenacity of quality and upward strength, and achieved his literary attainment and life height; for Yishan, because of Zhang Mingzhi, it is also lucky, Zhang Mingzhi wrote so many poems for it, every word is a deep look back and sincere feelings, so that Zhong Lingyuxiu of the first town mountain can better spread the world. Mountains and people, and poetry, people and mountains, and poetry, between this, what a "love" word!

Writing here, I can't help but think of a poem by Li Bai: The birds fly high, and the lonely clouds go alone. Looking at each other is not tired, only Jingting Mountain. I think that in Mr. Zhang Mingzhi's heart, Yishan Mountain is also such a mountain.
