Xiangtan, a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Hunan Province, is also known as "Lotus City" and "Tancheng City" because it is rich in Xianglian. It has jurisdiction over five counties (cities) including Xiangtan County, Shaoshan City, Xiangxiang City, yuhu district and Yuetang District. Xiangtan was founded in the Southern Dynasties with a history of 1500 years. It is the important birthplace of Huxiang culture and the cradle of China red culture, and has the reputation of "Little Nanjing" and "Golden Xiangtan". "There are many heroes in one county in the world and beautiful scenery in central Hunan." Xiangtan, a great man and master, has been honored as an excellent tourist city in China, a national garden city and a national civilized city. How can a place like this not produce great men and masters?
On labor day, Xiangtan is sunny and sunny. At 8: 30 in the morning, I went to the former residence of Baishi alone, but my friend didn't go with me because of other business.
The former residence of Qi Baishi is about 3 hours away from the hotel next to the Qi Baishi Memorial Hall in yuhu district where I live. Although taking a taxi can be faster, it is less fun to travel, so I choose to go by bus.
All the way to inquire about the route of the former residence, both junior high school students and the elderly have pointed out how to get there, and the words revealed the familiarity and respect of the old man Bai Shi! After three hours of bumps, I finally got off at the huge sign pointing to Qi Baishi's former residence on 107 National Road.
Just entering the entrance of Xinghua Village, a boulder with a length of more than 20 meters and a height of about 3 meters came into view, with the words "Qi Baishi Cultural Tourism Zone" written on it, and the head of the old man of Baishi's silver beard engraved on it. The holy place in my heart has arrived.
A new asphalt road with a width of 5 meters leads to the destination. You don't need to call anyone in. There is a sign on the government sign of Baishi Town, Xiangtan County. From time to time, words and pictures about the old man Baishi will appear on the walls or signs along the way. Yang Meiyuan, Tianfei Palace, Ginkgo Garden, Baishi Family Farmhouse, etc. All the way through the customs, and finally arrived at the Xingdou Hall where the former residence was located.
From 20 14, 10 and 1, the ticket for Qi Baishi's former residence was changed from 5 yuan to 15 yuan, which was mainly used for the maintenance of the former residence. I took a video while sightseeing, quietly savoring and thinking carefully.
The former residence was built in the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, also known as Qijia's former residence, Xingtang's former residence and Xingdou Bailou. The former residence faces east in the west, backed by Bauhinia Peak, with the Star Pond on the right and rice fields on the left. There is a fragrant lotus pond in front.
The former residence of Baishi looks like a very ordinary and typical peasant adobe hut with east-west direction, civil structure and thatched roof. It is a typical rural building of Hunan civilians in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, covering an area of about 200 square meters and a total area of about 2,000 square meters.
1993 was listed as a cultural protection unit in Hunan province, and was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council in May 2006. There are three main rooms, two miscellaneous rooms, and a room in the middle of the main room. Above the gate hangs a plaque with gold on a black background: the former residence of Qi Baishi. There is a wing on each side. But it is surrounded by tall and lush trees. In front of it is a square farmland with willows planted around the ridge. Qi Baishi, a world cultural celebrity and a master of modern Chinese painting in China, was born in the south main room of this cottage in June +08641October +654381October, and has lived for 36 years.
The furnishings of the former residence restored the bedroom, parents' bedroom, woodshed and dining room of Qi Baishi and his original wife Chen Chunjun. Let people feel Qi Baishi's early life and daily life. In addition, there are carpenter's tools, carved objects, paintings (replicas) and colorful text and pictures.
Qi Baishi's achievements and position in modern painting circles in China are well known: he is an outstanding painter, calligrapher and seal engraver in the history of modern art and culture in China. 1953 was awarded the title of "People's Artist" by the Ministry of Culture, 1955 won the International Peace Prize, and 1963 was listed as a world cultural celebrity. On the one hand, soil and water cultivate a person, on the other hand, feng shui cultivates a generation of talents. I believe that the emergence of outstanding people has a lot to do with their own efforts, as well as local customs and scenery. Some netizens said in a poem: "There are three rooms in the iron fence, and the pen is as busy as a farm tool. Yantian cattle don't rest, and they fall into the east room of Rizhao. " It is a true portrayal of his hard struggle, and the good feng shui in Qi Baishi's former residence surrounded by dragon trees has also nurtured his spirit.
Qi Baishi was born in a poor peasant family. When he was young, he only studied in a private school for half a year, and then dropped out of school, chopped wood, herded cattle, farmed land and did everything. /kloc-learned carpentry at the age of 0/2, and/kloc-learned sculpture at the age of 0/5. At the age of 20, he became an expert in sculpture. His career as a carpenter had an important influence on his unique Chinese painting art in his later period. His achievements show that he is a model of self-taught, which is worth all of us to learn and emulate, learn and learn from.
Outside the former residence, the introduction board of Qi Baishi's grandfather's tomb reads: "Qi Baishi's grandfather Qi Wanbing, ranked tenth, is called the Top Ten Masters of Qi. Grandfather used furnace tongs to draw words on ash or fingers, and taught young Qi Baishi to learn. Qi Baishi never forgets anything. It can be seen that Qi Baishi's success is not only hard work, but also due to Superman's memory.
Qi Baishi has a deep affection for his former residence and a deep attachment to this fertile land that raised him as an adult. He once left such a poem: "A mountain of fragrant taro is cool in autumn, which is a storehouse for the poor." I don't feel bland when I am old, but it smells sweet from the cow dung stove. "
What you see and people you think of can't help feeling something. The success of Qi Baishi, a master, has something to do with his poor background and simple inner world. Now we are rich in materials, have a good life and developed information, but there is no master, which deserves our reflection.
