Mochou Nu is famous for her songs and dances. "Rong Zhai Essays" said: "Mochou was a native of Shicheng, Yingzhou. Today, there is a painter in Mochou Village in Yingzhou who writes about her good looks and good deeds. People who write about her are often sent to far away places." The Mochou girl is seen in official history and comes from the ancient "Yuefu" and " "Stone City Music" and "Mochou Music". "Book of Tang. Yue Zhi" records: ""Stone City" was written by Zang Zhi of the Song Dynasty. Shi City was in Jingling, and Zhichang was called Jingling County. When looking from the city, he saw a group of young people singing smoothly, so he composed this song." "Mo Chou Le" comes from "Stone City Music". There is a girl named Mochou in Quartz Bell City who is good at singing ballads. The sound of "Moxi" appears again in "Shicheng Le. He", so the song goes: Where is Mochou? To the west of Mochou's stone city, the boat hit two oars to urge Mochou to come. In the winter of the eleventh year of Tianjian (512), Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty changed the "Western Music" to "Mo Chou Nu" by Shi Cheng and "Barbarian Music" by Yiyun. There were 16 old dancers and eight Liang dancers. Many legends about Mochou Nu also spread from Western Chu to Soochow. In Zhongxiang, there are places of interest such as Mochou Village, Mochou Lake, and Mochou Ferry. Wang Zhiwang of the Song Dynasty said in "Yu Di Ji Sheng": "Mochou Village is to the west of the Han River. There are many peach blossoms on the ground. The flowers fall in late spring and the flowing water is fragrant." "Zhongxiang County Chronicles. Historic Sites" contains: "Mochou Village, in the Two miles west of Han, the ancient Han River passes through the city site, and to the west is the village, where Mochou lived. There is a lake to the north of the city, adjacent to the village, called Mochou Lake. "These places of interest have been visited by literati of all ages for thousands of years." A wonderful place that poets admire and seek. The village where Mochou Girl lives was not originally called Mochou Village. Because the peach blossoms bloom every year and are as red as clouds, people habitually call it Peach Blossom Village. Mochou Lake, adjacent to Mochou Village, was called Canglang Lake in ancient history. Taohua Village faces the Snow Tower on the cliff at the west gate of Yingzhong Stone City and the Yangchuntai in the east across the river. The Canglang Three Lakes in the north of the city are adjacent to the village across the river.
Mochou Nu’s father, Lu Gong, made a living by ferrying people on the Han River, while her mother planted mulberries and peaches in the village. On a stormy day in the early years of King Xiang of Chu, Mo Chou was born in a cabin at the ferry on the bank of the river at the head of Taohua Village. When she was just born, she kept crying. Mr. Lu hugged her and coaxed her: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't be sad, don't be sad, don't worry, don't worry!" When she heard the word "Mochou", she started crying. The sound suddenly stopped. Duke Lu then named her Mochou. "The golden bird scratches its head, and is born to call Mochou." (Ming. Zhang Ning) Mochou girls are in the wind and waves, walking in the wind and waves, drinking water from the Han River, eating Taohua Village's grain, and sometimes following the sisters in the village on the blue waves I would pick water chestnuts and lotus in the rippling Canglang Lake. Sometimes I would go to the city with my parents to sell peaches. Sometimes I would row a boat in the river or in the lake. Sometimes I would practice dancing and singing at Yangchun Terrace and Baixue Tower. She has a sweet and clear voice, and she can learn all kinds of songs in Yingzhong instantly.
When she grew up to fifteen or sixteen years old, she was like a hibiscus in Canglang Lake, with a slender waist, slim legs, dimples, tasseled lips with a smile, and a fragrant face. The new petals of the lotus are white and rosy; the movement is like the wind sending colorful clouds, light and elegant; the golden voice sings the jade, and the colorful sleeves spit out the rainbow. The lotus bag breathes good air, and the river waves surge with the sound of jade. With the guidance and help of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, Mo Chou Nu reinterprets the ancient tunes and blends them with the music of Chu Ci. Following the great piano master Liu Juanzi, she completes the oligarchy classic "White Snow in Spring" The music is sung. Mochou's reputation for singing and dancing spread to the palace of the King of Chu. King Chu Xiang conscripted her into the palace as a singing and dancing girl, and banished her fiancé, brother Wang Xiang from the east, to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Yingzhong. Brother Xiang's departure is really a matter of life and death. The ancient "Mochou Le" records the sad scene of Mochou's daughter tearfully bidding farewell to Brother Wang Xiang on the Han River: "Wearing joy, we went down to Yangzhou and saw each other off at the top of Chushan Mountain. We put our arms around our waists and saw that the river was not flowing!" The snowy waves of the Han River were flowing. , Mochou's clothes can't be exhausted. She watched the boat carrying Brother Xiang go away, and with anger in the white snow tower, she rushed to the Han River!
In order to commemorate her, people renamed Taohua Village to Mochou Village and Canglang Lake to Mochou Lake. The Jitou Ferry under the Baixue Tower where she tied a boat to climb the rock was named Mochou. Cross. "There is no sorrow when we are separated, and there is no joy when we know each other anew." (Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs. Young Commander") Legend has it that Mo Chou was not dead. She was rescued by a fisherman in the Han River. They searched for Qu Yuan's traces and also searched for them. After passing Brother Wang Xiang, he went boating in the rivers and lakes without leaving a trace, and truly returned to the people.
"Mochou Music" sings: "Every house welcomes Mochou, everyone says Mochou, and the word "Mochou Song" just hits my heart!" Thousands of generations later have chanted Mochou Girl, Mochou Village, Mochou Lake, and Mochou. The poems, lyrics, songs and rhymes of Choudu, Yangchuntai and Baixuelou vividly record the deeds of Mochou Nu. For example, Li Shangyin's poem of the Tang Dynasty: "Who can find the flowers under the snow? There are ten thousand branches of plum blossoms and snow. If there is no boat in Shicheng, don't worry about your own sorrow." Zhenggu's poem of Tang Dynasty: "The stone city used to be a hometown, don't worry about your soul." The stone city is desolate, the sails are gone, the wind is coming, the flowers are blooming and the spring is sad. "The poem of Wang Wang of the Song Dynasty: "Don't be homesick at Canglang Ferry, thousands of trees are falling in the cold smoke, cherish it to make you stay as a guest, and be drunk with a bottle of desolate wine. The setting sun. Song Zhoumi's "Xinghua Tian. Fu Mo Chou": "The auspicious clouds are spreading across the forehead; the eyebrows are tender and the willows are tender, and I can't help but feel sad. Who can write the spring scenery in Yingzhong after returning to the soul?" , The setting sun is green; I want to find no trace of my singing and dancing dreams. I follow the two oars north and south, and the wind is blowing in Shicheng in the Ming Dynasty. Mochou Family. "Liu Zehong's poem of the Qing Dynasty: "On the west side of Shicheng, who knew the woman Lu? She sent her sorrow to Mochou Lake, and she sent her sorrow to Mochou." "Looking at the Peach Blossoms in Mochou Village" by Li Su of the Qing Dynasty. Poem: "The beauties of the southern country have the word Mo Chou. They have grown up in Fangzhou till now. Their souls are tempered and do not allow the spring breeze to rest. They are scattered into pieces of peach blossoms."
The poems and essays are widely praised, and both people and the land are fragrant, which is true. Like Yangchundai, Baixuelou, the elegant famous song "White Snow in Yangchun" and Song Yu, Mochou Village, Mochou Lake and Mochou Ferry, together with Mochou Nu, have been famous through the ages and become famous for generations to come. Back then, the Han River flowed close to Yingzhong Stone City; back then, Mochou Lake covered thousands of acres of blue water. With the changes of the times, the Han River moved westward five miles away from the city; Mochou Lake also underwent corresponding changes. "Tian Xia Jun Guo Li Bing Shu" records: "The old route of the Han River forced its way down the county town. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the new flood flowed along the east side of the mountain bay and was a long way from the city." "Zhongxiang County Chronicles. Fang Yu" records: " After the founding of the Xianling Mausoleum, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty was confused by the theory of Feng Shui and blocked Aokou, forcing the Han River to move southward. The Ao River entered the Han Dynasty from the straight river and no longer reached Mochou Lake. "The original Mochou Lake spanned the east and west banks of the Han River. and Mochou Village, where peach blossoms bloom, are all on the east bank of the Han River today. Today, Wenji Town, located on the west bank of the Han River, still retains the old customs of the Chu Dynasty. Not only are there peach groves along the river, but it also inherits the totem dance "Phoenix Dance" of Chu State. Mochou Lake, because of the land reclamation around the lake, has only been left with an area of ??about two square kilometers and a water storage of about 10 million cubic meters. On the reclaimed old path of the Han River, modern cotton spinning mills and waterworks were built. The girls in the factories, the new generation of Mochou girls, are vigorously contributing their youth to the construction of the motherland, showing off their vigorous and graceful grace. . Northeast of Mochouyuan is the Fifteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty in China - Mingming Tomb. The Jiuqu River and the lake are connected in the mausoleum. Every spring in March, the peach blossoms bloom more abundantly on the lakeshore; in summer and autumn, girls gather in groups to wash in the lake, sing, and pick water chestnuts and lotus flowers. There is a willow embankment on the south bank of the lake. The scenery is beautiful, and fishing in your spare time is a lot of fun. The Zhongxiang Municipal People's Government has listed the development of Mochou Lake Park as a key project in the town construction plan. In the future, Mochou Lake will surely have greener water, more colorful flowers, and more beautiful scenery, attracting tourists and guests from all over the world!
