Lin Yutang said, "If I mention Su Dongpo, it will always cause people to smile with affection and admiration in China, and perhaps this sentence can best summarize everything about Su Dongpo." In Xuzhou, if su shi of the Northern Song Dynasty is mentioned, "Su Xuzhou", it will also cause the admiration and smile of the people of Xuzhou.
The title of "Su Xuzhou" comes from the Song Dynasty Qin Guan's "BeiZi Zhan": "I do not want to be a marquis of ten thousand households, but I wish to know Su Xuzhou." "Su Shi lived in more than thirty states in his lifetime, but he was happy and free, could eat and play, could read and write poetry, and was a super donkey friend, player, foodie, and also a popular Internet celebrity uncle." In 1077, Su Shi was transferred from Mizhou in Shandong to Zhizhou in Xuzhou, and during the two years in Xuzhou, he resisted floods, dug coal, caught iron, built weapons, persuaded farmers to sang, and repaired water conservancy, leaving behind more than 300 poems depicting the landscape and personnel of Xuzhou.
On the central axis of Xuzhou, the Yellow Tower at the north end, the Hubu Mountain at the middle end, and the Yunlong Mountain at the south end all have Su Shi's shoes and Meiwen. Taking advantage of the light wind and clouds and pleasant autumn colors, along the central axis from north to south, follow the "Su Xuzhou" to visit Xuzhou, not only fast.
Yellow House event, quick Xuzhou
Located in the northernmost part of the central axis of Xuzhou, Huanglou Park is an oasis in the downtown business district of the old city, the main building of the Yellow Tower and Zhenhe Tieniu, the Five Provinces Tongqu Arch adjacent to the standing, constitutes the Yellow River South Road, Qingyun Bridge East of the cultural landscape, is an important attraction of Xuzhou Sushi culture, but also like to explore the ancient tourists punch card.
"Swinging Qinghepu, The Yellow House I Opened" is from Su Shi's poem "Send Zheng Hu Cao", which counts the victories of the mountains and rivers of Xuzhou and the ancient and modern Haojie, and also writes the original intention of building the Yellow Tower.
In the tenth year of Xining (1077), Su Shi was transferred from Mizhou (Zhucheng, Shandong) to Zhizhou, Xuzhou. Soon after arriving, the Yellow River broke through the city, and Su Shi patrolled day and night, leading the civilian army to block the water. After the water receded, in order to avoid xuzhou from being damaged by water again, Su Shisong asked the imperial court to allocate funds to build embankments and banks in Xuzhou and build the Yellow Tower. According to the "Xuzhou Range Rover" record, the Yellow Tower was originally built on the East Gate City Wall, rebuilt many times in the Qing Dynasty, and was in danger until the early liberation period, and in 1988, the Xuzhou Municipal Government rebuilt the Yellow Tower on the current site.
"The name of this building 'Yellow House' has the meaning of 'soil is better than water'." Li Shiming, a researcher at the Sushi Cultural Research Association, explained, "Yellow represents soil, with Tuke water, which is a unique custom of Xuzhou people on the bank of the Yellow River, and 'Huanglou Town Water' comes from here." ”
There is a folk saying that the Yellow House was built by Su Shi after demolishing the Xiangyu Chu Palace, which is quite suspected of destroying the monuments. Is this the truth? A passage in the Annals of Su Shi may be explained: "The government has abolished the affairs of the hall, and it is said that the xiang book did it, not also." The evil of its obscenity is not real, destroyed, and its material is taken from above the east gate of the Yellow House. The east gate of Xuzhou is a flood control point, and the city gate and the yellow tower must be repaired, but the people are poor and poor, so Su Shi had to demolish the "abandoned hall". The "waste hall" was only a legend in the Chu Palace at that time, and the name "waste" hall showed that it had been destroyed for a long time, so there was the matter of demolishing the hall and repairing the building.
In order to celebrate the completion of the Yellow Tower, Su Shi invited celebrities and former friends to paint poems and paintings in the Yellow House during the Chongyang Festival in the first year of YuanFeng (1078). The Yellow House party attracted Wang Gong, Yan Fu, Dao Qian and other literary celebrities. Su Shi composed "Nine Days of Yellow Lou Zuo", Su Rui and Qin Guan also wrote "Huang Lou Fu" although they were not in Xuzhou, and Chen Shidao wrote "Huang Lou Ming". The Yellow House gathering can be called a literary event in the history of Xuzhou, and the Yellow House has become a scenic spot for literati and inkers to visit Xuzhou because of the name of Su Shi.
In Xuzhou, su shi is also famous for the kuaizai pavilion in the east corner of the city. Su Shi once admired the scenery in the pavilion and wrote "Quickly Zha This Wind Endowment", "The Joy of the Sages, The Pleasure of the Fast Zha This Wind", and the name of the Pavilion of Quick Zha was derived from this.
"Kuaizai" contains Su Shi's frank feelings for the world and a happy attitude towards life. In 2021, "Kuaiza Xuzhou" will become Xuzhou's new urban cultural tourism brand, interpreting the connotation of the city's promotion language of "tasting the two Han cultures, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and rivers; visiting happy Xuzhou and enjoying a comfortable life".
"Xuzhou is a glorious historical and cultural city, and Su Shi has provided positive and healthy cultural resources for the current society in Xuzhou." In June this year, the 24th China Su Shi Academic Symposium was held in Xuzhou, and Zhou Yukai, professor at Sichuan University and president of the China Su Shi Research Society, praised Xuzhou's Su Shi culture.
Su Shi was 40 years old when he joined Xuzhou, and he was in the best years of his life. He was loved by the people for his livelihood and water conservancy in Xuzhou, and scholars called his two years in Xuzhou the "Yellow Tower Period".
The Slovaks are gone, and the spirit lives on. The Yellow House, one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Xuzhou, is currently upgrading its internal exhibition behind closed doors, and will welcome a batch of "Su Fans" who have come to visit in a more perfect way.
Ancient Opera Horse Terrace, Shintobe Mountain
In the middle of the central axis of Xuzhou, south of the Huilongwo block, and north of Yunlong Mountain, there is a hill hidden in the surrounding high-rise buildings, which was once the water sheltered highland in the south of Xuzhou City - Nanshan. After Nanshan, due to the office of the Ming Dynasty Household Division, it had a new name for Hubu Mountain.
The circus stage is located on the south mountain. In 206 BC, after Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he established himself as the overlord of Western Chu and set the capital at Pengcheng. According to the local chronicle "Examination of Ancient Monuments", the circus stage is in the south of the city, and Xiang Yu is a stage because of the mountain to watch the circus horses, so there is a circus stage.
"For a long time, the circus platform was just one above the South Mountain, but because the western Chu overlord was too famous, it added a golden aura to the stage." Zhu Haoxi, a scholar of literature and history in Xuzhou, introduced, "As the reputation of the opera horse stage becomes louder and louder, the call for Nanshan becomes weaker and weaker, and over time, the world only knows that there is a circus stage, but does not know what Nanshan is." In this way, the circumference subtly replaced Nanshan and became an eternal place name. ”
The circus stage is close to the city and can be climbed, which is an ideal place for people to ascend. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished everywhere, temples arose, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Liu Yu sat in Xuzhou during the Northern Expedition and built the Taitou Temple on the east side of the Ximatai. Taitou Temple was once one of the eight ancient temples in Pengcheng, Liu Yu feasted on the hippod, and the famous poets Xie Lingyun, Xie Zhan and others improvised poetry, which has also become a good story of history.
Ancient literati liked to party and feast, travel famous mountains and rivers, and write poetry, and the literary and artistic scholar Su Shi was no exception. Su Shi was in Xuzhou for two years, and came to the circus stage five times, or as a tour guide, or sang and sang with the literati Yashi poetry. Tan Dunrong, a cultural expert of Xuzhou Su Shi, studied that there were 10 trees planted by Su Shi in the opera stage, and the time of planting trees was in the second year of Yuanfeng, who was about to leave Xuzhou.
In this year, Su Shi invited his friend Song Xiyuan, who was passing through Xuzhou to visit him, to the circumference stage to plant trees to tell friendship and write the poem "Planting Pine Delai Characters". The first four couplets of the poem describe the easy to plant elms and the difficulty of planting pines, and praise the spirit of cangsong cuibai 'air pressure thousand acres of locusts', and the middle six Su Shi hopes that the trees planted can become the material of Chitose in the opera stage. With the passage of time, the trees planted by Su Shi disappeared into the wind and dust along with the destruction of Taitou Temple, but Su Shi's love for ecological greening still lingered in time and space with his poetry.
Historically, Xuzhou was an important transportation hub and trade distribution center, and the old South Gate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including the area from the South Gate to Hubu Mountain, was one of the commercial and trade zones in Xuzhou, with characteristic commercial streets and high houses.
The most obvious symbol of a perfect urban environment is that it has a continuous context environment that allows people to feel the changes in history and the changes in life scenes. The old streets and ancient houses in the Hubu Mountain area were initially protected in the 1980s, and as a pristine historical and cultural block, it became an important admission ticket for Xuzhou to be selected as a national historical and cultural city in 1986.
In xuzhou's "14th Five-Year Plan" cultural tourism development plan, Hubu Mountain and Huilongwo are packaged together, through node upgrading, through traffic, creating a slow tour system and other projects, so that tourists can experience the charm of the city in Xuzhou that blends ancient and modern.
Under the stage of the ancient opera horse, in the old neighborhood, the Hubu Mountain of the "ancient and prosperous Xuzhou City that never sleeps" is new every day.
Yunlong Mountain, dialogue with Su Gong
Following the footsteps of Su Xuzhou from north to south, through the Hubu Mountain Pedestrian Street, past the Xuzhou Museum, you will come to the Yunlong Mountain of yunlong lake tourist scenic spot at the 5a level at the southern end of xuzhou's central axis.
"The mountains are not high, but the immortals are named; the water is not deep, and the dragons are spirits." Yunlong Mountain is not high, but because of Su Dongpo's poetry, it shines; Yunlong Lake is not deep, but because of Su Dongpo's footprints, it shines. Zhou Shujuan, vice chairman of the Xuzhou Writers Association, sighed, "Su Dongpo walked all over the landscapes and rivers of Xuzhou, giving Xuzhou landscapes and spirits, and Xuzhou landscapes also returned his happiness and pride." ”
Qingshan does not change the millennium painting, green water flows forever poetry. There are many monuments in Xuzhou Yunlong Mountain, most of which are related to Su Shi's poetry.
There is Huangmaogang on the western slope of Yunlong Mountain, from Huangmaogang along the hillside to the south, not far away is the former site of Yunlong Academy, and there is a natural boulder under the cliff on the east side of the courtyard, which is the famous dongpo stone bed. On the west side of the cliff there is a seated statue of Dongpo, Su Gong holds a magic pen, and the tip of the pen seems to have just written his spontaneous masterpiece: "Walking up to Huangmaogang in a drunken way, full of rocks like flocks of sheep." Gang tou drunkenly fell into the stone bed, looking up at the white clouds. The song fell into the valley and the autumn wind was long, and passers-by looked up to the southeast, clapping their hands and laughing to make the king crazy. ”
"At the turn of spring and summer, the grass and trees are in the sky; the snow and moon in autumn and winter are a thousand miles; between the wind and rain, the pitch is ever-changing." Su Shi's "Record of the Crane Pavilion" integrates the beauty of Xuzhou into the four seasons, Yunlong Mountain is famous for its "Crane Pavilion", the literati of the past generations have found this mountain, the inscription is left in ink, and the scenic spots on the Yunlong Mountain built around the inscription of Su Shi's poems are more than ten places.
"Try on spring clothes under the Yunlong Mountain, and send Luo Hui before putting the crane pavilion." Thirty miles of apricot blossoms, the groom jun went to Ma Rufei. "In the apricot blossom village on the western slope of Yunlong Mountain, in the early spring and March of each year, the apricot blossoms bloom and stretch for more than ten miles. During Su Shi's tenure, he led his poet friends to watch the apricot blossoms many times and sing poems. On the slopes of today's Ten Mile Apricot Blossom Mountain, in recent years, Liu Beiquan, Bei you Dongtian, Jizi Hanging Sword Terrace, etc., have been added to jointly depict the beautiful picture of Xinghua Village.
Su Shi's life has been turbulent, but he has always smiled at life, and the interesting soul of one in ten thousand miles has made him gain countless fans in ancient and modern times. "I don't want to be a thousand households, but I want to know Su Xuzhou." Crossing the Sugong Bridge, climbing Sugong Island, singing the crane pavilion of Yunlong Mountain, drunkenly lying on the stone bed of the eastern slope, tourists come here, all of them can make a thousand-year dialogue with Su Gong. Guan Renfu, a research expert on Su Shi and a professor at China University of Mining and Technology, said.
Yunlong landscape, Su Gong's shoes everywhere. In order to improve the cultural connotation of the city, Yunlong Lake Tourist Scenic Spot grasps the main line of Su Shi's history and culture, plays the "Su Shi card", sings "Dongpo Opera", and does "Song Article". Today, Xuzhou has more than 50 scenic spots related to the history and culture of Su Shi, making Xuzhou the largest tourist and cultural city with the most scenic spots and the largest area in the country.
In the process of building and restoring the ecological environment of Yunlong Lake Scenic Area in recent years, Xuzhou has invested more than 20 billion yuan to implement the projects of "Showing Mountain Dew", "Returning Fishing to Lake" and "Demolishing Illegal Construction green". Guo Feng, deputy director of the Quanshan District Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism, introduced that these measures have greatly improved the cultural value and environmental quality of scenic spots, and play an important role in changing Xuzhou's investment and living environment, developing Xuzhou's regional economy, and consolidating Xuzhou's status as a regional commercial and tourism center city.
You Yunlong Landscape, dialogue with Su Gong, special teacher Xu Xinmin, who is committed to the study of Su Shimin's original thought, although he is 88 years old, he still works tirelessly and speaks for the Su Shi culture and landscape of Xuzhou: "Thousands of miles have the opportunity to meet, and the fate is Su Dongpo. ”
