Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"Teacher Jiang Ning, Baidi is ahead."

There are three embankments in West Lake.

One is Su Causeway, the other is Bai Causeway, and the third is Yanggong Causeway.

"The Bai Causeway starts from the Broken Bridge in the east and goes to the west via Jindai Bridge, about 2 miles long. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Baisha Causeway and Sha Causeway, and later in the Song and Ming Dynasties, it was also called Gushan Road and Shijin Pond."

Facing Baidi.

Qin Yue, director of the West Lake Management Committee, acted as a tour guide and introduced Jiang Ning.

"This is the broken bridge."

Step on the broken bridge.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but think of the story of Xu Xian and White Snake.

but.

I won’t talk about these two people for now.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ning said, "Mr. Qin, why is this Baidi called Baidi?"

"Well...there are some flaws in the historical records. It is said that before the Tang Dynasty, people saw that Baidi was always surrounded by smoke, so they called it Baidi."

Seeing Jiang Ning's smiling expression, Qin Yue asked, "I wonder if Teacher Jiang Ning has done any research on Bai Ti."

"I can't talk about research. I just read some folk rumors."

Jiang Ning said while walking on the Baidi with everyone.

The scenery of Baidi is also beautiful. Although it is hot in summer, a cool breeze blows by at this moment, which makes everyone feel extremely comfortable.

"It is said that Baidi was called Baishadi before the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Bai Juyi, who served as the governor of Hangzhou at that time. At that time, the West Lake was also blocked because there was no one to manage it. Later, Bai Juyi sent people The silt in the West Lake was cleaned up and the Baisha Embankment was strengthened. In order to commemorate Bai Juyi, people in later generations called the Baisha Embankment the White Embankment."

"Is this Xiangshan layman Bai Letian?"

Qin Yue still has a certain understanding of history.

Speaking of Bai Juyi, he immediately said Bai Juyi's name and nickname.

"Yes."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Bai Juyi is naturally very famous.

Even though the world has not left many of his poems, Bai Juyi still served as a relatively large official in the Tang Dynasty.

If you have done some research on the history of the Tang Dynasty, you will naturally know that there is a historical figure like Bai Juyi.

"It seems that Bai Juyi did govern Hangzhou."

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Yue also said: "However, Teacher Jiang Ning, I don't know much about Bai Juyi. Can you continue to explain?"

"of course can."

Jiang Ning nodded, and then said: "When Bai Juyi was the governor of Hangzhou, he saw that six ancient wells in Hangzhou were in disrepair for a long time, so he took charge of dredging the six wells to solve the drinking water problem of Hangzhou people. He also saw that the West Lake was silted up and the farmland was drought, so he built embankments to store lake water. , to facilitate irrigation and alleviate the damage caused by drought, and wrote "Qiantang Lake Stone Records", which engraved the policies, methods and precautions for lake water management and placed them on the lakeside for future generations to know. It also played a role in the subsequent lake water management in Hangzhou. Have a great impact.

Before leaving office, Bai Juyi left an official salary in the state treasury as a fund to facilitate the official turnover of officials who later governed Hangzhou, and then made up the original amount afterwards.This fund was in operation until the Huang Chao Rebellion. When Huang Chao arrived in Hangzhou, many documents were burned and lost, and the fund disappeared. "

"Of course, Bai Juyi not only managed the West Lake for officials, he was also a well-known poet. He once wrote a poem for Bai Di."

talking.

Jiang Ning then read this poem: "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake".

[North of Gushan Temple and west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low.

A few early warblers compete for the warmth of the tree, and the new bird pecks the spring mud.

Squandering flowers gradually become attractive, so Asakusa can have no horseshoes.

My favorite part of the lake is the east side of the lake, where the green poplar trees shade the white sand embankment. 】

Qiantang Lake is the West Lake.

This poem also describes the scenery of Baidi in West Lake.

It's extremely amazing.

Even if this poem was written more than 1000 years ago.

But the content described in this poem seems to reflect reality.

as now.

[North of Gushan Temple and west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low. 】

Baidi is on Gushan Road.

On the Baidi embankment, there is Jia Gong Pavilion in front.

The water of West Lake has always been flush with the shore, and pedestrians can often touch the water with their hands.

And precisely like this, from a distance, the lake seems to be in a straight line with the white clouds in the distance, seemingly indistinguishable from each other.

[A few early orioles are vying for warmth in the trees, while the new swallows are pecking at the spring mud. 】

This scene cannot be seen for the time being.

Because the season is wrong now.

But for Qin Yue and others, they are too familiar with West Lake.

they know.

If it comes in spring, there are countless early warblers and swallows on the Baidi.

They pecked at the soil or picked up grass and trees to make their own nests.

[The wild flowers gradually become more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horseshoes. 】

More than 1000 years have passed.

Everyone’s way of traveling has already changed.

at that time.

When you parade around the West Lake, you may be riding a horse.

but now.

You may be driving a car or riding a shared bicycle.

But no matter how the way of travel changes.

There are always countless flowers and weeds on the edge of the West Lake.

Many of us can't even name these flowers and weeds.

but.

But he accompanied us all the way and made the West Lake so beautiful.

[My favorite lake is the east side of the lake, where the green poplar trees shade the white sand embankment. 】

This last sentence sums it up.

The most beautiful part of West Lake is the White Sand Embankment.

But that’s a summary.

But if you look at the rows of willows on the Baidi now, they seem to be no different from those thousands of years ago.

"My favorite part of the lake is the east side of the lake, the white sand embankment in the shade of green poplars...it's so well written."

"From now on, Bai Causeway and Sudi Causeway can be said to be one lake with two walls."

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang Ning, for sharing such a classic poem with us."

Qin Yue and the staff accompanying Jiang Ning were extremely excited.

At the same time, they also admired Jiang Ning.

This is not.

Jiang Ning had just arrived at West Lake and shared two classic poems.

Just like the night before, I went to the West Lake.

Another example is the current spring trip to Qiantang Lake.

Especially the song "Spring Tour to Qiantang Lake" is simply tailor-made for Baidi.

“It seems that it won’t be long before Baidi will become a must-visit place for all tourists.”

"That's necessary. I'm going to punch in a card now."

"Hahaha, I'll hit one too."

Although many staff members are not familiar with West Lake, they are no longer familiar with it.

but.

After the song "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake", they discovered that Baidi today was much more beautiful than usual.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, would you like to tell us more about Bai Juyi?"

At this time.

Someone in the crowd was extremely interested in Bai Juyi and asked excitedly.

"Xiao Liu, I ask you to read more history. If you want to know more about Bai Juyi, go read the history books yourself."

Qin Yue glared at Xiao Liu beside him.

Xiao Liu was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Director, there is no history book where Teacher Jiang Ning can explain it in such detail."

This statement has been recognized by everyone.

Just like what Jiang Ning said about Su Shi before.

Naturally, Su Shi is also included in the history books.

But a pity.

Su Shi recorded in history books was a young and frivolous person who did not know how to adapt and had no emotional intelligence.

But after actually listening to what Jiang Ning said about Su Shi.

They just found out.

Su Shi turned out to be such a great writer.

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Ning also smiled and said: "If you are interested in Bai Yiju, I will talk about it later. However, Bai Juyi is from the Tang Dynasty. When we talk about the Tang Dynasty in the future, I will tell you about Bai Juyi again. By the way, I can tell you about Bai Juyi. Let me give you a preview. This Bai Juyi was the immortal poet at that time."

"Poetry Fairy."

When such a title came out, everyone took a breath of cold air.Although many poets were born in the Tang Dynasty.

but.

No one has ever dared to call him a title like Shixian.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, ahead are Jingci Temple, Lingyin Temple, and Leifeng Pagoda. However, it's a bit late today. Let's come back tomorrow."

West Lake is not an attraction.

Because West Lake is really too big.

At the same time, there have been a series of other cultural attractions near West Lake for thousands of years.

For example, if you take the ten scenic spots of West Lake alone, they are just one scenic spot.

In addition, next to the West Lake, there are also the well-known Jingci Temple, Lingyin Temple, Shengyin Temple, and Baixi Temple.

These are the four ancient temples in West Lake.

In addition, there are a series of celebrity cemeteries here.

It can be said.

Just walk a few hundred meters and you will find a cultural landscape in West Lake.

This is one of the reasons why West Lake is so popular.

at this time.

Starting from Su Causeway, we went all the way to Bai Causeway, and now we came to the south of West Lake, near Jingci Temple.

Everyone is also a little tired.

Jiang Ning nodded, but said: "Since we have come to Jingci Temple, let me share one last poem with everyone."

at this time.

Some tourists nearby noticed Jiang Ning, but they gathered around him one after another.

"Look, Teacher Jiang Ning."

"Who is Teacher Jiang Ning?"

"I don't even know this. He is a big anchor."

"What's so interesting about big anchors? I'm not interested in Internet celebrities."

"Brother, you have to look at what kind of Internet celebrity he is. To call Teacher Jiang Ning an Internet celebrity is to humiliate him. He is not an Internet celebrity, he is a well-known scholar and a great historical figure. Not long ago, people talked about Su Shi. But it caused a sensation across the country.”

"Oh, the one about Su Dongpo, the one who made Huangzhou and Chibi fight."

"So."

"Great, let's take a walk and have a look."

If it is some other Internet celebrities.

A group of tourists may not be particularly interested.

But if it's Jiang Ning, that's an exception.

speak up.

The recent fire in West Lake has a lot to do with Jiangning.

"I won't talk about Jingci Temple. Director Qin and you should have done more research than me. Today, the poem I share with you is called "Walking off to Lin Zifang at Dawn from Jingci Temple". It is a representative work of the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli.

"Yang Wanli was born in Jishui, Jiangxi. He was a Jinshi at the age of 29. He successively served as Imperial College Supervisor, Zhangzhou Magistrate, Libu Yuanwailang, Secretary Supervisor, etc. Politically, Yang Wanli advocated resistance to the Jin Dynasty. He opposed bending the knee to negotiate for peace. In many of the emperor's "letters" ", "Ce", and "Zha Zi", he repeatedly denounced the country's ills and tried to avoid the mistake of surrender. His patriotism was beyond words. Facing the situation of the Central Plains being lost and only half of the country remaining, he warned the court to always be prepared for the enemy. Plan for enemies, defend against them and win.

At the same time, he also valued and sympathized with the people, believing that the imperial court should tie the fate of the country to the people, and criticized officials who would only squeeze the people's bones and suck their marrow, arousing people's hatred, anger and resistance.Therefore, he reminded Guangzong to "save money, reduce taxes, and win the hearts of the people. If the people are rich, the country will be peaceful."Yang Wanli was an upright man with a strong personality. Xiaozong criticized him for being "straight but not disciplined", while Guangzong said that he "also had a temperament". "

Yang Wanli is also known as the four great poets of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

"It's just a pity that although Yang Wanli was patriotic and concerned about the people, due to the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yang Wanli's personality, many of his policies were not taken seriously by the court."

Jiang Ning briefly introduced Yang Wanli to everyone.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ningcai shared this song "Send off to Lin Zifang at dawn from Jingci Temple" with everyone.

[After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons.

The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red. 】

It was June, summer.

It complements the West Lake in June in the poem.

Next to Jingci Temple, there are many lotus leaves.

of course.

Lotus leaves can be found in many places in West Lake.

He does look okay, but he's not that amazing either.

Because he is too ordinary.

but.

Here in Yang Wanli, it's different.

It was afternoon.

The afterglow of the sunset shines on the lotus leaves, giving it a magnificent feeling.

That's why the lotus leaves that reach the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers that reflect the sun are uniquely red.

of course.

Jiang Ning did not explain, let alone translate.

In fact, most of Yang Wanli's poems are relatively simple and easy to understand.

Especially this one.

Even without Jiang Ning's explanation, everyone can understand what this poem means.

Not only know.

And if you just follow Jiang Ning and read it, you will be instantly intoxicated.

as now.

They had always seen ordinary lotus leaves before.

But now.

When I recite this song "Walking off to Lin Zifang from Jingci Temple at dawn", the feeling is completely different.

of course.

In fact, this poem is not entirely about scenery.

This poem, as you can tell from the title, is a farewell poem.

Who is bidding farewell to?

The gift was from Lin Zifang.

Who is Lin Zifang?

Lin Zifang is Yang Wanli's subordinate and good friend.

Yang Wanli admired Lin Zifang very much.

So I wrote this poem when I was saying goodbye.

But it seems that this poem is a description of scenery.

But this poem is actually an instruction to Lin Zifang when describing the scene.

For example, the last sentence.

The lotus leaves are infinite, and the lotus flowers are different.

This seems to describe the scene, but it uses the scene to describe things.

The word "Jie Tian" in the lotus leaf of "Jie Tian" means that you have reached the imperial court and have the opportunity to meet the saint, and you will have the opportunity to show your ambition.

and so.

When you know this, you will know.

This poem is actually Yang Wanli admonishing Lin Zifang.

The current imperial court is extremely complicated. When you have the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit, you must seize the opportunity.

because.

Once you leave the court, your strategies cannot be seen by the emperor.

Just like a lotus leaf, when you can no longer be illuminated by the sun, then no matter how talented you are, it will be of no use.

but.

Sometimes even without introducing other meanings in the poem.

You just think of this poem as a landscape poem, but that's fine.

after all.

This poem about the West Lake, even if it only describes the scene, few poems can surpass it.

even.

His popularity can be compared with Su Shi's desire to compare West Lake to Xizi.

"What a beautiful lotus. The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are exceptionally red."

"What I like more is the West Lake in June."

"Yes, the West Lake in June is completely different from the West Lake at other times. It is also a scenery that cannot be experienced in other seasons."

"The poetry is beautiful and the scenery is even more beautiful."

"I feel that the number of tourists in West Lake will exceed 60 tomorrow."

Can not help but say.

A group of tourists took out their mobile phones one after another and checked in next to the lotus leaves beside Jingci Temple.

of course.

While they were checking in, they also wrote "Sent Off to Lin Zifang at Dawn from Jingci Temple" that Jiang Ning shared with them. (End of chapter)
