Where is Mo Chounv from?

Mo Chounv, there are three theories circulating in the world today.

One is Mochou Lake in Shicheng, Yunzhou. Yunzhou, now Zhongxiang, Hubei, and Shicheng still have a Mochou village. Zhongxiang has Mochou Lake Scenic Area, Mochou Avenue and Mochou Lake Hotel. The Tang book "Le Zhi" says: "Mochow musicians play in Shicheng, and there is a daughter in Shicheng named Mochow who can sing and dance well." This "Shicheng Mochow" seems to be a beautiful woman who can sing and dance in the Tang Dynasty. There is an old saying praising her: "Where is Mochow? Mochow is in the west of Shicheng, so the boat paddles twice and rushes to Mochow. " "Rong Zhai Essay" said: "Mochow is from Shicheng, Yunzhou. Now there are painters telling stories about looks in Mochou Village and sending them to four places. " Mo Chounv, found in official history, originated from ancient Yuefu, Shicheng music and Mochow music. The book of the Tang Dynasty: Shicheng was written by Zang Zhi in the Song Dynasty. "Shicheng is in Jingling County and tastes like Jingling County. Looking out from the city, I saw a group of young people singing smoothly and made this song. " Mochow Music is from Shicheng Music. There is a woman named Mochow in Quartz Clock City who is good at folk songs. Music and Shicheng harmony have the sound of' Mochow', so the song says: Where is Mochow? Mochow rowed two oars to urge Mochow to come to the west of the stone city. In the winter of the 11th year of Tian Jian (5 12), Liang Wudi changed "traditional opera" to Mo Chounv in Shicheng, also known as Manle, sixteen old dancers and eight beams. Many legends and stories of Mo Chounv also spread from the Western Chu to the Eastern Wu. In Zhongxiang, Mochou Village, Mochou Lake and Mochou Ferry were left behind. Wang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in Ji Sheng in the Ground: "In Mochou Village, west of the Han River, peach blossoms are in full bloom, flowers fall in late spring, and flowing water is fragrant. Zhongxiang county recorded in the article. Monuments "contains:" Mochou Village is located in Haner Lane. The ancient Han River runs through the city, and to the west is Mochow's village. There is a lake in the north, adjacent to the village, called Mochou Lake. "

The other is Mo Chounv. Li Shangyin, a famous poet, once wrote a poem for her: "Overseas people are famous for their nine continents, and they are uncertain about this life ... How can they be emperors in the four seasons? It is worse than the sadness of Lu Jia." The poet's "Mochow" is really a "flower of interpretation". Liang Wudi also wrote a poem about her, which is more specific. The poem is called "Song in the River": "The water of Hedong flows eastward, and the female name of Luoyang is Mochow. Mochow could weave beautiful flowers at the age of thirteen and pick mulberry heads at the age of fourteen. 15 Marry a Lu Jiafu ... Twelve lines of gold hairpin on his head, five articles in the first step. Coral glows when hung in the mirror, and flat-headed slaves carry shoes. Life is precious. What can you expect? I hate not to marry my master. " Mo Chounv's native place, life experience and family background are introduced here.

Mo Chounv in Nanking was not recorded in writing until the Song Dynasty. Earlier, Zhou Meicheng's Yuefu Xihe River. Hong Mai questioned this matter in Rong Zhai's Essays. It seems that Zhou Meicheng confused "Stone Town" with "Stone Town".

For many years, people outside these three places have known that there are Mochow in Nanjing, but they don't know that the other two Mochow are closely related to the development of Nanjing and the enjoyment of many universities and intellectual resources.
