A few days ago, the old street passed through Chizhou, and in his spare time, he hurriedly toured and made the Five Laws "You Chizhou" to remember this trip:
Li Du was once a guest, where the traces of Fang remained. Poetry search for Qiupu shore, wine asked apricot blossom village. The bells around the temple are far away, and the sun and shadow of Pinghu Lake are dim. Ancient and modern are the same dream, and the lights are into the soul.
The poem, the shortest travelogue, records several famous Chizhou attractions.
The Tang Dynasty had Big Li Du and Little Li Du. The Li Du in the poem are Da Li (Li Bai) and Xiao Du (Du Mu). They all lived in Chizhou for a while and created a lot of works about Chizhou.
Chizhou, alias Guichi, Shicheng, Akiura. Chizhou is a prefecture-level city in Anhui Province, but the city size is not large. Earlier, the center of Anhui was in Anqing, because it was close to the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River flows northeast from jiujiang to Anhui, the first city is Anqing, the second city is Chizhou, then Tongling, Wuhu, Ma'anshan, nanjing.
In ancient times, the Yangtze River was an important passenger transportation artery. Therefore, Chizhou, like many ancient cities along the river, has countless literati and inkers passing by and leaving many poems.
Among them, there are Li Bai and Du Mu.
Li Bai wrote more than 40 poems in Chizhou, the most famous of which is "Seventeen Songs of Qiupu", of which the fifteenth is the most widely circulated:
The white hair is three thousand feet, and the fate seems to be long. I don't know where the autumn frost comes from in the mirror.
Li Bai was in Chizhou and only traveled to meet friends, while Du Mu, the great poet of the late Tang Dynasty, was the parent official of Chizhou. In September of the 4th year of Emperor Wuzong of Tang (844 AD), the forty-two-year-old Du Mu moved to Chizhou and served there for two full years.
Legend has it that when Du Mu was in Chizhou, he wrote the seven masterpieces of "Qingming", which caused controversy about the ownership of Xinghua Village:
During the Qingming Festival, the rain is pouring, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Asking where the restaurant was, the shepherd boy pointed to the apricot blossom village.
Regarding the ownership of Xinghua Village, there have been disputes between Fenyang and Chizhou in Shanxi. Today, there are two attractions called Apricot Blossom Village in Chizhou, not far from the famous Qiupu River.
I have little interest in Apricot Blossom Village, which is often newly created by later generations based on stories. However, the geographical location of the mountains, rivers and lakes mentioned in the works of the ancients is often not much different from today, so I must go to see the Qiupu River.
It's just that this section of the Qiupu River near Xinghua Village seems to be in the dry period, and it is not as beautiful as imagined, which is a bit disappointing.
Among the Seven Laws of Du Mu, my favorite is "Nine Days of Qi Mountain Ascension":
Jiang Han autumn shadow goose first flew, with the guest carrying the pot on the Cuiwei. It is rare for the world to smile, and the chrysanthemums must be inserted into the head. But the tincture will be rewarded for the festival, and there is no need to climb the hated sunset. This has only been the case in the past and the present, so why should Niu Shan be clothed alone?
The lush Qi Mountains are not tall and are located in the chizhou city. It is said that when Du Mu built a Cuiwei Pavilion on Mount Qi when he was in Chizhou, Yue Fei climbed Mount Qi when he was training troops in Chizhou and composed a poem "Chizhou Cuiwei Pavilion":
The year is full of dust and clothes, and the special search for fangs is green. Good mountains and good water are not enough, and the horse's hooves urge the moon to return.
Winding along the path at the foot of the mountain, the Jindizang Temple appears in the dusk of the sun, and the golden splendor of the temple is quite spectacular. There are not many tourists except for a few janitors and it is very quiet.
There is a sentence in Yue Fei's poem: Good mountains and good water are not enough. At the foot of Mount Qi, there is a Pingtian Lake, which is larger than the West Lake, where Yue Fei is said to have practiced water division. What makes me happy is that there is a shared electric car on the lake road, which saves a lot of time.
After cycling through a bamboo path, you can stroll on the net red boardwalk in the lake. On the shore of the boardwalk is a stone bridge, standing on the bridge to let the breeze blow, looking at the lake and mountains under the sunset, there is a bit of guilin landscape charm.
Chizhou is small, but has a long history. This is not only the place where Yue Fei tun soldiers, but also the place where Prince Zhaoming of Southern Liang compiled the Anthology, and Li Bai, Du Mu, Su Shi, Wang Anshi and other great poets left countless poems.
Unfortunately, the time is tight, and the old street can only be hurriedly passed by like a horse and a flower. Qi Shan did not have a chance to climb, and he rode around Pingtian Lake for less than half of it, and the sky gradually darkened. When I returned to my residence, I looked out the window and saw that there were already thousands of lights outside.
Ancient and modern are the same dream, and the lights are into the soul.
The poem is not very good, keep it as a souvenir, and revise it later.
