This temple was originally built by the ghosts to welcome the treasure collectors. At the end of his term of office, he will be greeted by the bodhisattva of Duobao Temple. ”
Tang Xianzu, as a famous opera composer in ancient China, enjoys a high reputation in the international drama world, and his "Peony Pavilion" and even the "Four Dreams of Linchuan" are well known to women and children in China, and also have a high reputation abroad. At the same time, Tang Xianzu also has his unique life experience, he and the famous British dramatist Shakespeare was born and died at about the same time, so many international comparative literature scholars have compared it with Shakespeare.
Tang Xianzu once lived in Macao, according to research, "Peony Pavilion" should be created in Macao; in addition, Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion" was adapted into the "Youth Version of "Peony Pavilion" by The Taiwanese writer Bai Xianyong in the United States" and has been staged at home and abroad, and has become a classic of traditional Chinese cultural inheritance and innovation.
All of the above makes Tang Xianzu and his theatrical culture a rich cultural treasure, and for Xu Wen, the hometown of Tang Xianzu, it is also a treasure trove of cultural industry resources that can be vigorously protected and developed, revitalized and utilized.
Xu Dishan's literary and artistic creations
In addition to his famous essay "Falling Peanuts", Xu Dishan (1894-1941) also left behind the outline of grammar and grammar (1921), Indian Literature (1930), The Cause of the Madhyamaka and Yoga School before Chenna (1931), Dazhi Collection: Historical Materials of Sino-British Negotiations Before the Opium War (1931), History of Taoism (1934), Exploration of the History of land leased between Hong Kong and Kowloon (1940), and A Study of the Superstitions of Fuji. (1941), Xu Dishan Language Treatise (1941), Guozhi and Guoxue (1946) and many other academic works. He taught in Rangoon, Burma from 1913 to 1915, and then his father, Xu Nanying (1855-1917), who was the zhi county of Xuwen County in the late Qing Dynasty, died and was buried in Nanyang, in addition to visiting his father's grave in Sumatra and taking photos at present, Xu Dishan also went to India to study Indian folk literature, Indian philosophy, Indian religion and Sanskrit.
Xu Dishan's father, Xu Nanying, originally lived in Tainan, Taiwan, and was admitted to the Qing Court in 1890, and in 1902 he was appointed as the zhi county of Xuwen County, and led the rebel army to resist when the Japanese army invaded Taiwan in 1895. Xu Nanying can write poetry, be good at calligraphy and painting, have strict self-discipline in moral articles, and teach his children by example. In his later years in Fujian, Xu Nanying often participated in the Taiwan poetry bell activities held by Lin Erjia, the owner of Xiamen Shuzhuang Garden, together with Shi Shijie, Wang Chunyuan, Shen Xiaoying, and others, and although there is no first-hand information about Xu Dishan's participation in the activities of the Shuzhuang Yin Society with his father, it is also reasonable that Wang Chunyuan often took his son Wang Shoutian to participate in the shuzhuang yin society activities and left poetry as evidence; Xu Dishan once served as a teacher and manager of the Fujian Provincial Second Normal School in Zhangzhou, and the school was organized by Lin Erjia and the chairman was Lin Erjia, which can be used as evidence that Xu Dishan and Lin Erjia, the owner of Shuzhuang, also have close contact. Xu Nanying is located in the land of Fujian and Taiwan where the winds of Song Ming Lixue and Qianjia Tongguang are strong, and the style of poetry and governance is naturally deeply affected by the environment, and his ability to examine the source of the mirror is also valued by the people of the times, which is also an important reason why he was hired by the rich Indonesian businessman Zhang Yaoxuan to write his family biography in Medan in his later years.
Xu Dishan was taught in the court since childhood, and at the same time was deeply influenced by the style of Mintai's bowl chanting poems, his Song Xue Kung Fu was naturally infected by its influence and gradually cultivated, and his simple learning skills were born from himself, and his later collection and sorting of cultural relics, the study of Chinese costumes, and the combing and sorting of Chinese Taoist history also showed his ability to study and cite evidence. All this chinese learning skills are also closely related to the influence of Xu Dishan's family learning since childhood, as well as the traditional college education received in Guisheng Academy, which was founded by Tang Xianzu in Xuwen County and repaired by Xu Nanying when he was in Zhi County, and was the president of himself.
The traces of Xu Nanying and Xu Dishan's father and son in Xuwen County can still be captured from the place names and ancient houses of Xuwen County, according to Xu Dishan's "Biography of Mr. Voyeur", the "examination tent" of "Shuqian Street" was Xu Nanying's office at that time, and the Three Officials Ancestral Hall was the study of Xu Dishan's brothers. Tang Xianzu, Xu Nanying, and Xu Dishan all spent a harmonious and comfortable peninsula coastal life with Xu Wen, who was "simple and simple in folk customs and social stability" (Xu Nan English) and Xu Wen, who was "simple and lovely, and did not like to provoke wrong" (Tang Xianzu). This kind of simple folk style and character directly affected Xu Dishan's academic character. Xu Dishan prefers to study the simple study of fine examination and anthropology based on fieldwork, and this kind of learning makes Xu Dishan pay attention to the folk, and Xu Dishan itself has the preference and habit of collecting folk literature, and the natural and harmonious combination of this hobby and the path of governance makes the study of Chinese and foreign folk culture become the academic interest of Xu Dishan and form a unique style of governance.
Readers who love Xu Dishan's literary works such as "Falling Peanuts", "Spring Peach", and "Spider with Webs" can see from xu Dishan's political thought and attitude towards life that he has a great influence on his literary creation. After "Falling Peanuts" was compiled into the middle school Language textbook, the impact on students was not only the influence of language and literature, but also the influence of thought and attitude towards life. In fact, Xu Dishan's attitude towards the world and his attitude towards life also had a very important impact on his style of governance. A scholar's character and attitude towards life have a shaping function that cannot be ignored in the cultivation of his academic style. Xu Dishan usually has a childlike innocent personality, and even Yu Dafu once recalled that Xu Dishan often suddenly got up and went to the courtyard to "throw leather balls and kick shuttlecocks" with young children when he was talking with friends. This also shows why Xu Dishan has a wide range of interests, is frank and straightforward, thinks of doing it, and spares no effort in doing everything he wants.
