The shepherd boy points out where Xinghua Village is?

Xinghua Village refers to the village deep in the apricot blossoms, located outside Xiushan Gate, Guichi District, Chizhou, Anhui Province.

This sentence comes from "Qingming" written by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty: "May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance." It means asking the local people where to buy wine to relieve their sorrow. The shepherd boy smiled and pointed to Xinghua Mountain Village in the distance.

The word "shepherd boy" in "The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance" is not only the subject of this sentence, but also a supplementary explanation of the object of the previous sentence. The shepherd boy responded with actions instead of words. Pedestrians looked in the direction of his finger and saw a wine margarine (the symbol of an ancient hotel) faintly exposed on the top of a tree with red apricots in full bloom.

Due to the widespread circulation of this poem, the three words "Xinghua Village" became the nickname of the restaurant in later generations.

The story of Du Mu and Xinghua Village in Chizhou.

It is said that Chizhou is an ancient city with a long history. Chizhou was established in the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (621). In the first year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty (742), the state was changed into a county. The original place of Chizhou was called Qiupu County. In the first year of Tang Yongtai (765), Chizhou was reestablished.

In September of the fourth year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty (844 AD), Du Mu moved from Huangzhou to Chizhou to serve as governor. This year he was 42 years old. He left office in the fourth to sixth year of Huichang (846 AD) and did some things. It was a good thing that he ordered people to build the "Cuiwei Pavilion" beside Jiuding Cave and the "Nongshui Pavilion" outside Tongyuan Gate in the south of the city. ?He also built a time clock and hung it on the tower in the south of the city for residents inside and outside the city to watch the time. Du Mu also left some legends and poems in the pool.

In the fourth to sixth year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty (844-846), the famous poet Du Mu served as the governor of Chizhou. He took the official prostitute Cheng Qiuhong to Chunxinghua Village, drank Huang Gong wine, and flourished in poetry. He wrote the eternal quatrain "Qingming". As soon as a poem was published, literati and scholars from all over the ages came here one after another to enjoy the flowers in the spring, go up to the building to drink, and sang to each other. They left more than a thousand splendid poems, and Xinghua Village and Huanggong Wine became famous far and wide.
