Some of the impressions of Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo are due to watching a TV series of "Tianyi Water" before. It is about Fan Chin and his descendants, who have suffered and suffered a lot! After thirteen generations of relay from generation to generation, it has left a library for future generations, leaving a valuable cultural wealth, which is admirable and has also given birth to a yearning for visiting this place.
Walking into Tianyi Pavilion, there is no hustle and bustle of tourists, nor the shouting and selling of small traders and vendors. The courtyard is quaint and quiet, surrounded by greenery, and the winding paths covered with mossy leaves seem to emit a faint fragrance of books.
The library building, facing north and south, is a two-storey wooden structure building. The upper floor is a large room, and the downstairs is separated by six rooms, which is said to take the meaning of "heavenly life water" and "60% of the earth" in the I Ching.
There is open space around the library building, and a pool is built in front of the door, called "Tianyi Pool". There are several rockeries piled around the edge of the pool, known as "nine lions and one elephant". One of them, like a woman, with one hand on her cheek, looked at the pavilion and told a tragic past: "During the Jiaqing period, Qian Xiuyun, a Miss Qianjin who was born into a famous family and loved poetry books, married the Fan family because she admired the books in Tianyi Pavilion. I wanted to use this marriage to climb the Tianyi Pavilion to read books, but the Fan family rules were very strict: women were not allowed to enter. She could only wander and stare downstairs, never entered the library, and finally ended up depressed. At the time of his death, he only prayed that his husband could bury him in the three-foot yellow soil on the side of the cabinet, and wished to accompany the library for a long time, but he had a long-cherished wish before he died. "A girl wants to use marriage to deal with her own cultural desires, wants to read more books, although she has not been able to do so, but the spirit of women, but in moving future generations, touching future generations to respect women, when I visited one after another blooming chrysanthemums placed in front of the grave, I was very moved."
Generation after generation, Tianyi Pavilion can be said to have survived the ordeal of dynastic change, survived in the wind and rain, is the bomb of the Japanese invading army, did not make Tianyi Pavilion yield, in the face of disaster, Tianyi Pavilion like a century old man who has seen the world, full of philosophical eyes on posterity, whether surnamed Fan or not surnamed Fan, watching them hold up their noble heads, because they understand that the importance of books, without books, history loses the rope that runs through the front and back, so it is with the greatest sincerity, love and effort, A large number of precious books have been preserved, so that the pulse of Chinese culture is always strong and powerful!
When I left the Heavenly Pavilion, I looked back at the bronze statue of Fan Qin again, and I could clearly see a divine light on his body.
When I left the Tianyi Pavilion, I smelled the fragrance of brassica again, as if I heard the echo of history, and the reason why the spark of Chinese culture is endless is inseparable from these obscure Fan Qin, who are so eager and protective of their own culture.
Tianyi Pavilion, infiltrated with the culture of poetry and book heirloom, makes me awe-
