-thoughts on reading Mr. Yang Qing's "Yi Ya Ren in the Millennium Southwest"

Luo zhenfei

If Yang Qing is called Mr., he will definitely scold me, because he always regards me as a brother.

But in terms of knowledge and self-cultivation, he can indeed be called Mr. This "Mr." is not the kind of person who sings a few smug lines at everyone, or is so sour that he loses his teeth. What he said was well-founded and he did it politely. I think he is one of the elegant people with real talent, practical learning and modesty in this small county.

Yang Qing and I are almost seventeen. In 2004, I was as thin as the Monkey King's cousin and still taught in the countryside, but I was obsessed with literature. I brought my most satisfactory prose poems to town and typed them into standardized printouts. I rode my motorcycle straight to the county seat and walked into the office of the County Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the courtyard of Xingren County Committee to vote for Xingren Wenyuan. That day, I met Yang Qing for the first time. He is wearing a crimson suit and a blue tie, sitting in the office of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, full of energy, serious and copying calligraphy posts. When he saw that I was coming, he talked to me from time to time, and he also took a look at the post and wrote a line. When I was in normal school, my brush regular script (Liu Ti) was the first in my class, and I won the first place in the grade in the chalk word competition. I think that calligraphy is too eye-catching. After reading his post, I suddenly looked like a melon seedling in the big sun. I thought to myself, this is a person who has a university question, because I really have never seen anyone paste calligraphy posts so proudly. Later, I contacted him several times and felt that he was really good at talking. Now the ancient legend gives you confidence. Anecdotes tell you as if you had seen them with your own eyes. When can I reach this height? After seeing Yang Qing, I couldn't sleep, and even had an impulse to ask the teacher for tea. Once again, when I contributed to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, I finally got up the courage to tell him that I wanted to learn calligraphy. He didn't ask me why I wanted to learn calligraphy, but he threw me an antique Preface to Lanting Collection and told me to copy it word for word. I really followed his instructions. In the shabby building where I taught, I frantically searched all the newspapers in the school and painted for a long time. During that time, I felt that I had been possessed by Wang Xizhi's soul. Later, I was embarrassed to say that fortunately, I didn't invite Yang to tea, and Wang Xizhi was not interested in joining me. For various reasons, I am embarrassed to touch the posts on the bookshelf now, and even forget the decent ones.

Later, my dream came true. I wanted to be a reporter. Although the possibility of meeting Mr. Yang Qing has increased, the communication between hearts is less than a few percent. Yang Qing is still the Yang Qing who won't give up his calligraphy and hands. And I am no longer the one who can't bear to sleep until dawn. I want to study the camera for a living and write a press release different from literary works. Occasionally we meet in the street, and the two of us will occasionally sneak into the teahouse to talk about the recent situation. In fact, like me, he was bound by life for so long that he disappeared in the literary world for a long time after knowing each other for more than ten years. There are even rumors in the literary world of Xingren that Yang Qing was "abolished" and one was "abolished" by anyone, because these two guys couldn't come up with anything new. Every time I hear this rumor, my heart aches. Yes, how can a person who is so crazy about literature say that he wants to abolish it? Of course, more often, I can't escape the secular spirit and get confused. What is tofu? In this era of free breathing, how many lines can words reach? Or, when your article is valuable, it will be old forever, right?

It's not that I'm prepared to give up the vast sea of literature. I really didn't expect that Yang Qing and I were bound together again by the road of literature and art. 2065438+At the beginning of 2006, the office of Federation of Literary and Art Circles moved to the top floor of our unit. Boy, this brother really rode on my head. Sometimes you can't avoid meeting him frequently, but I have to say, it's nice to meet him. Soon after the office of Federation of Literary and Art Circles moved in, the Yang Qing I saw was full of vitality. Instead of telling me about calligraphy and literature, she told me about the history of the Yi people in Xingren. I said, what? Xingren Yi people still have history? He said yes, there are not only Yi people in Xingren, but also history. I said that Xingren is only a hundred years old, where there is history. He patiently said that in this way, a high-standard seminar on the cultural industry corridor of the Putuzhuye Yi people can be held this year. Come with me if you are interested and have time, and you will find something new.

During that time, I was tired of stereotyped news writing and couldn't find a place to vent. Anyway, I have plenty of free time, so I can't steal from him. At least answer my historical curiosity. As everyone knows, this brother really didn't fool me. When he and I walked into the Long Tusi Manor in Luchuying, into the Yi village in Dayechang and into the high-standard seminar on the cultural industry corridor of the Yi people in Putu, Zhuyeqing, I was really obsessed with the history and culture lost in this land for many years. At this time, the appearance of another person pushed me to the "abyss" of history and culture.

One day, Tang, the editor-in-chief of the unit, gave me a shake on QQ, and then sent me an article on "Benevolence in a Prosperous Age", which made me feel refreshed for a while and opened it for a closer look. Amazingly, another brother, Yang Wenbo, who also disappeared from my sight for a long time and retired from the leadership position of the county audit bureau due to illness, actually wrote "Xing Ren in the Millennium" in more than 10000 words, giving you a clear idea of how to build a county from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to Xing Ren, using chronology methods and searchable books. This is the history of Xingren, which I have never seen before. After reading this article word for word, I pondered for a long time. Our history is so long. We are called wild land, which can be as thick as the Central Plains. I almost climbed to the top of the only circular building in Xingren and shouted out the pride of Xingren people. Editor-in-chief Tang forwarded the article to me and asked me to push it on the official WeChat account of the county news center that I was responsible for maintaining. There is no doubt that such a good article is a rare masterpiece of writing Xing Ren for so many years. I got carried away with excitement. I immediately took the liberty to write a short comment and a reading guide with my knowledge and level, divided into seven issues, and pushed Yang Wenbo's weeping "Millennium Xing Ren" to the mobile phones of more than 10,000 fans intact. At that time, it coincided with the international mountain tourism development conference, and Xingren Fangmaping series of activities were under way. The popularization of "Millennium Xing Ren" has set off a historical and cultural upsurge in Xing Ren. For a time, the Millennium Xingren was highly respected and aroused people's doubts.

Yang Qing couldn't sit still because of Brother Wenbo's Millennium Xing Ren, and I couldn't sit still, so we invited the pioneers of Xing Ren's history and culture. The three of us chatted happily, talking about history, tourism and the future of Xingren, which coincided with each other. We all agree that the revival of benevolence in the Millennium is not groundless, nor is it fabricated out of nothing by Mr. Wenbo. It's an ironclad fact that people are rejuvenated for thousands of years, but few people know the truth, let alone care. In recent years, the economic and social development of Xingren County ranks second in Southwest Guizhou, but the development of cultural tourism is weak. When it comes to history and culture, it is always locked in the narrowness and extremes of a century, and even ignored like smelly shit. History and culture are closely related to tourism. In this regard, we have suffered great losses. We can't keep up with the comparison between Xingyi Wan Fenglin and Maling River, we can't imitate the twenty turns of Qinglong, we can't move Zhenfeng Shuangfeng, and we can't afford to plant Anlong Shili Lotus Pond. When the whole province is holding the banner of tourism, Xingren is caught in the middle of southwest Guizhou, showing the embarrassment of capitalization. Apart from Long Zhao Ji and Long Jizhuo's anti-Qing activities provoked by Wu Sangui, Fangmaping, which is in a superior position, is still a vacant lawn. Where is the way out for Xingren cultural tourism? And a timely rain, "Millennium Xing Ren", revealed too much information. If we dig deep around it, it is simply a rich cultural mine!

We vowed to reverse Gankun and make history and culture of Xingren clean!

Yang Qing, Yang Wenbo and I, the three buddies, are fascinated by this culture that has been sleeping for thousands of years and are completely crazy.

For a long time, the three of us carried out crazy "brainwashing" when arresting people. This fragile "MLM" team, like salt water soaked in soup, makes boring people happy and exudes a strong cultural atmosphere.

At the moment when there was no chance of "brainwashing", the three of us split up and made strategic attacks to get familiar with the history and culture of Xingren in the region. Yang Qing continued to study the history and culture of the Yi people, invited Professor Ayi Zhu Ni from guizhou minzu university and his team, and from the perspective of the history and culture of the Yi people, found the context of an important party and state in southwest Guizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, all the way back to Yelang, and won the support of provincial Yelang historical and cultural experts; Brother Wenbo continued his in-depth study of the Millennium rejuvenation of benevolence and made great achievements in the textual research of county names. I followed the map, extracted the "Leaking River" fragment from Wenbo's Millennium, frantically searched all kinds of local chronicles on the Internet, spent tens of thousands of RMB on books to catch up with history, and wrote "Leaking River" seriously and rigorously. The Leaking River Examination has been strongly supported by the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee and the County Federation of Literary and Art Circles. With the cooperation of enthusiastic people in the county's literary and art circles and township leaders, we consciously completed the task of excavating history and culture and successfully completed the inspection of river leakage. Masha River, a river that has been sleeping for thousands of years, has since gained a resounding name-Leaking River. Because of the leakage of the river, our "fudge" team has gradually grown. Mr. Xiong, a cultural veteran and author of Zhang Huiti's novel Long Teng Pan Jiang, Ding Dalin, chairman of the Writers Association, Qiu Chengfu, director, Xiao Qiyou, a cultural person and executive vice president of the Party School of the county party committee, writers Peng Yu, Hu, Zeng and Xu Shuqiong who are active in the literary world, and supporters with heavy official duties and leading positions.

We are not alone. When we walk side by side in the mountains and rivers of Xingren, following the footsteps of our ancestors, we really have mixed feelings and emotions.

After the above gossip, let's go back to my theme. Two days ago, Mr. Yang Qing sent me a 12,000-word essay "A Thousand-year-old Gentle Man in Southwest China", which is a rare masterpiece after "A Thousand-year-old Man". He said, brother, I haven't written such a long text for many years, and I can't write it without serious study and precipitation. I said half-jokingly that this was the first inspiration and I "planned" it for a long time!

The text of "A Thousand Years Southwest is as Easy as Yaxing Man" has a clear context and a distinct point of view, which can well understand the collision between Xingren's history and culture and the author Yang Qing's mind. At last year's international mountain tourism development conference, Yang Qing led and participated in the research and development of the Yi cultural industry corridor in Putu Zhu Ye, tested the water in Louhe River, founded and declared "the hometown of beef powder in China" in Xingren, and "China highland barley banquet" with great beauty and Guizhou cuisine. That is to say, he carefully looked at the history and culture of Xingren before presenting us with this excellent work. The word "Southwest Yi" first appeared in Historical Records. Sima Qian labeled the southwest as backward and difficult to teach with the article "Southwest Yi Zhuan". Is that so? Yang Qing moved out of the ruins of Jiaole Han Tomb and Tonggu Mountain, and counted bronze chariots and horses, father figurines, couplet lanterns, kitchen figurines, rap figurines, paddy field models, pottery cows, pottery chickens and other rare cultural relics in the south. And stated that our ancestors once lived a high-quality lifestyle in this land, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and sorted out the ancient Xingren people according to Sima Qian's record of "Yelang stealing peach sauce from the city"

According to historical records, when northerners eat "millet" (millet) that is difficult to swallow, we have already eaten delicious rice; When northerners simply and rudely bury pots for cooking, we simmer with a stove; When northerners were eating sunflower wild vegetables, our chefs in the Han Dynasty were cooking stewed chicken with relish. "Yi" is an ideographic character, and one person and one bow means "Yi". In other words, our ancestors walked into the mountains with bows on their backs and never starved to death. They always bring you endless delicious food. "Yi" people learned to keep in captivity, raise them after eating them, and finally cook them slowly. The barrier between the Yangtze River and the mountains stopped the soldiers in the north, which enabled the southwest region to develop itself. Even if Zhuang Ti cut Yelang, Qin Xiu Wu Chi Road and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Tang Meng to run it, they loved this land and hated it. This is beyond their power, and this land is still elegant. As for Wen Tao's military strategy, our ancestors are often unknown because they are non-mainstream and self-reliant. But it is worth mentioning that the transformation of Chinese characters in China from Wei Ti to regular script is really due to our ancestors. In Lvliang, Yunnan, an inscription pressed out by later generations with tofu led to a history of writing evolution. The author of Guibaozi is the ancestor of Yi nationality, Donggui Wuman. In the process of accepting China culture, he inadvertently wrote Wei Ti into another style, so that Yan Zhenqing, Ou Yangxun and others rewritten a more elegant regular script under this influence. Today's Xingren belongs to Dong Gui.

Let's talk about life customs. "Southwest Yi" is a nation that pays attention to hygiene. Fan Chengda, a civil servant stationed in Guangxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, recorded for us the "strange customs" in their eyes, saying that when the barbarians of Qi went to Hengshan (now Tiandong County) in Guangxi to sell horses, they saw that their behavior was very strange. How strange is it? First of all, the hairstyle is "vertebral bun", and the hair changes above the forehead to form a vertebral shape, which is completely different from the well-dressed people in China. In fact, this dress is simple and practical, avoiding the hair fluttering neatly; Followed by "good nature", when people eat more meals and eat the same food, there is a knife and a bowl of water in front of everyone. After the knife is inserted into the food entrance, it must be cleaned with water before use, otherwise it will pollute others, which is equivalent to today's public chopsticks; Third, people in this place take salt with them wherever they go. Besides cooking, they also use it to gargle and brush their teeth. Are you very particular about personal hygiene? Fourth, barbarians are most afraid of being dirty. When they see dirty things on the road, they must cover them with dirt or avoid them. It is very funny that when people who master this law have conflicts with barbarians, they throw dirty water at them. When barbarians see dirt, they will jump away. Like cleanliness, our ancestors took a big step in civilization.

Mr. Yang Qing elaborated these civilizations and graces in his article, and I believe readers will have different views.

The Millennium Southwest is a good article to inspire our cultural self-confidence, just like today's network or real life. Speaking of Guizhou, there are always people who say that you are poor and backward, with a contemptuous tone and expression. In the past, we lived a leisurely life, so that people called us "arrogant", we didn't argue, we were "at the end of our wit", we were dissolute, we were barren, and even associated us with bandits with absurdity. We didn't argue because of gentleness and elegance, so we suffered a big loss. Today, we are encouraged by national unity and cultural prosperity. We learn with an open mind and dare to accept the vast civilization of the motherland, so that we can also clearly realize our own shortcomings.

Only by knowing yourself can we get out of ourselves.

Thank our ancestors for their grace. Elegance is a pearl scattered on the land of Xingren. Let's connect it with reverence and decorate it in this magnificent mountain and river.
