There is a sidewalk next to the Xiqiao site, and it is a certain auto repair car that you walk into. Everywhere is a mess, like a shanty town. Lu Li led the way and took ten or twenty steps. There is an iron gate hanging in front of him, and next to it stands a plaque inscribed by Mr. Feng Huangtai, on which is written Mr. Feng's telephone number. Lu Li directly knocked at the door, the gentleman asked who it was, and then opened the door.
Mr. Wang pointed to the cement pile on the platform and said that it used to be an abandoned lime kiln and there was a farmhouse. Overlooking the Xihe River, he and his friends often come to have tea, also called "kiln". Everyone feels a little inappropriate. He was invited by his master to write Phoenix Terrace, but he didn't expect to use this place himself more than ten years later. Later, the farmhouse stopped opening and became an auto repair shop. This platform is an idle debris dump. The year before last, Mr. Wang revisited his old place. It's a pity to see it. He rented it from the garage for 2000 yuan to temporarily build a painting and calligraphy exhibition hall and meditation room. Every morning, a person reads, writes, writes, meditates and is alone here; In the afternoon, my friend came here to sing, and he played the erhu accompaniment, which was very enjoyable.
"Phoenix Tower" is the tallest building around. The guardrail made of refractory bricks makes the platform look like a beacon tower. Standing on the railing, you can get a panoramic view of the Xihe River. After the west bridge was demolished, it looked a bit empty at first glance. The newly-built temporary bridge, like a long transverse wave, connects the city and the countryside. Mr. Wang said that standing here every day, you can see how the West Bridge has undergone great changes step by step.
My husband and I talked about my hometown. I was a little surprised when Mr. Wang mentioned this, because my hometown is there, and we also mentioned some people we knew together. But Mr. Wang said that there is a hometown garden for no reason. It turned out that he was not born in Dongshanping, but escaped from difficulties there and left at the age of two. Mr. Wang mentioned the tortuous past, which reminded me of the sentence "ill-fated"
What Mr. Wang talked about most was his two years working in Yunnan, where many legendary stories happened. The Song of Youth written and published by him is actually a personal memoir of Yunnan. In my conversation with him, he kept inserting the past of Yunnan. I asked my husband why he wanted to learn the Book of Changes. He flashed back to Yunnan:
1990 One morning, Mr. Wang went to the Siming Building in Baiheshan to study. Seeing how noisy people were, he changed the viewing pavilion and came to burn incense and paper again. He couldn't study any more, so he simply went to Chengdu to visit his friends. When I arrived in Chengdu, my friend was not there. Twenty years ago, he bought a temporary ticket to visit his in-laws in Yunnan. When I arrived in Yunnan, I went to the temple to make incense and draw lots. My mother told me about asking him for a visa at 1984, and she also wrote it down in her notebook. Find out the book and open it. Mr. Wang is stunned. "The guests are traveling from west to north, and they are busy with their own affairs. He will welcome guests at home in the afternoon. " The date of his arrival coincides with the date of signing. On that day, a force pushed him from Qionglai to Yunnan, and he seemed to have reached the mysterious door. After returning to Qionglai, he immediately bought several books on Yi Studies for research. He said that every time he stood on the Phoenix Platform, he could feel his connection with nature.
In this exchange, I was surprised to learn that the first private middle school in Qionglai was originally run by Mr. Wang, which made me respect. When he recalled the founding history, it was like telling other people's stories. That was in 1992. He had just come out of the valve factory that day and was lying in bed doing nothing. Suddenly he saw the news of the central meeting on TV, saying that private schools were encouraged. He immediately jumped out of bed and ran to the office of the director of education, saying that there are 7,000 junior high school graduates in Qionglai every year, and at least 2,000 or 3,000 students cannot enter school. He wants to run a private high school and realize their dream of middle school. The director of education didn't see the news, so he called the deputy magistrate in charge and said it was true. The next day, the newspaper news came out, impressively writing to encourage social forces to run schools. Since then, Mr. Wang has embarked on the road of running a school, looking for venues, funds, teachers and students. With the strong support of the two leaders, Hongde Middle School, the first private high school in Qionglai, opened in the autumn of 1993. Even today, it is still difficult, let alone at the beginning of the reform.
Mr. Wang is good at telling stories, with a little magic color. He said that in the site selection of Hongde Middle School, a Shuang Yanzi hovered overhead in an abandoned factory building. He asked the workers to nail a board for the swallow on the eaves. Before he left, the swallow built a half nest on the board. This miracle has something to do with his last position. Regrettably, more than two years later, the investor transferred the school in order to pay off the debts. As a founder, he had to leave school. This reminds him of the story of King Liang Huiwen, who once saw swallows nesting in the main hall, and soon there was a palace coup.
There is a simple desk on the simple podium, covered with the preface to Lanting Collection that Mr. Wang just copied. Mr. Wang believes that Wang Xizhi, the saint of calligraphy, is orthodox in calligraphy and only keeps company with Wang Xizhi all his life. He took out seventeen sticks and mentioned an amazing discovery. There are actually three posts related to Qionglai!
"Last summer, I gave Joan a bamboo stick, and I gave it all. There are many people who respect the elderly in this scholar, that is, distribution and satisfaction. " Before, some people found that "Qiongzhu Zhangtie" was a surprise, but now there are two posts that are shocking. He opened seventeen posts and interpreted them one by one. Yan Junping's post: "Do Yan Junping, Sima Xiangru and Yangzi Cloud all have posts?" "Salt Well Post": "Are there any salt wells or fire wells? What is the first step? In order to be widely circulated, it is shown. "
For me, this is a major discovery. There are many people studying Wang Xizhi's running script in Qionglai. Why haven't they heard of these three books and posts related to Qionglai? I suggest that Mr. Wang take "Wang Xizhi and" as a clue to sort out this discovery. Teacher Wang is busy scrutinizing the new work Qionglai Fu, and I wonder if he has time to sort out the story behind Qiongzhou Three Posts.
After I left, I couldn't help Baidu posting seventeen posts. The following should be redundant:
Although Wang Xizhi's prose is called "seventeen essays", it is actually 29 letters, of which more than 20 are addressed to Zhou Fu. Who is Zhou Fu? He used to be the secretariat of Yizhou and had a deep relationship with Wang Langya. His military and political career is related to Wang and closely related to Wang Xizhi. Zhou Fu spent 30 years in Shu, and in the 26 years of separation from Wang Xizhi, he relied entirely on correspondence. A large number of letters in Seventeen Posts were written by Zhou Fu when he was the secretariat of Yizhou. It can be inferred from the content that Zhou Fu had fully recommended the scenery of Sichuan to Wang Xizhi, which aroused Wang Xizhi's curiosity. He kept asking for details in his letter. We also get important evidence of Qionglai's profound history from here.
