The first entry into the courtyard: the fluttering shirt and the everlasting sword

On the afternoon of June 5, the reporter took a car to the former residence of Xin Qiji - Sifengzha Village, Yaoqiang Town, Licheng District. In 1140 AD (the tenth year of Shaoxing reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty), Xin Qiji was born here. In the southeast of Sifengzha Village, there is a spectacular and towering complex of imitation Song Dynasty buildings, which is particularly conspicuous in the surrounding large wheat fields. Looking from a distance from the road at the head of the village, it really feels like a large mansion in the Song Dynasty. This building complex is the newly built former residence of Xin Qiji. Under the leadership of Zhang Zhaojin, the director of Yaoqiang Town Cultural Station, the reporter walked along the east road of the village and arrived at the building complex facing north and south in 5 minutes.

Zhang Zhaojin told reporters that Xin Qiji’s former residence covers an area of ??29.3 acres and has a construction area of ??more than 4,000 square meters. The entire building adopts the architectural style of the Song Dynasty, which is simple and dignified. The building layout is three courtyards, each with an exhibition hall and pavilions. It is well-proportioned and harmonious with the landscape inside the courtyard.

The reporter saw that the gate of this group of buildings imitating the Song Dynasty is a majestic stone square with four pillars and three gates. The banner on the main gate has the five characters "Former Residence of Xin Qiji" inscribed by the famous Chinese calligrapher Wu Zhongqi. The whole archway is grand and spectacular. Passing through the stone square, there is a hexagonal stele pavilion. The front of the stele is engraved with the portrait of Duke Jiaxuan. The inscription below is "Xin Gong Jiaxuan, whose name is Qiji and whose courtesy name is You'an. He was born in Jinan on May 11th, the tenth year of Shaoxing, Song Dynasty. Sifengzha Village, Licheng County." Engraved on the back is "The whole story of Jiaxuan's official career with a purple gold fish bag given by the Minister of War in the Song Dynasty." By reciting the inscription silently, the tragic journey of the poet's life can be clearly seen.

Behind the stele pavilion is the center of the first courtyard, where stands the majestic statue of Xin Qiji, 2.8 meters high, made of "Xiuchuan Green" granite, a specialty of Licheng, Xin Qiji's hometown. Surrounded by green trees and flowers, Xin Qiji in the statue is wearing a Confucian scarf and a war robe, with a sword across his waist, his head raised and staring into the distance. The patriotic feelings of a generation of poets who serve the country with devotion are ready to be expressed.

The second entrance to the courtyard: the righteous, brave and loyal poet of the generation

When entering the second entrance to the courtyard, the first thing you see is the Jiaxuan hometown stele. The stele is about 3 meters high and has an inscription on it. There are four gold-plated characters "Jiaxuan Hometown" written by the famous calligrapher Ouyang Zhongshi. The base of the stele is a high platform, and the platform is surrounded by finely carved stone railings.

Bypassing the Jiaxuan hometown monument, the majestic main exhibition hall comes into view. The main exhibition hall consists of three exhibition rooms in the middle, east and west. They are all wooden structures with carved beams and painted buildings, and are antique. The plaque "Xin Qiji Memorial Temple" is hung on the central exhibition room, and the couplets are hung on the pillars: "The iron plate pipa follows the east slope and sings loudly as the river goes eastward. The beautiful celery mourns the millet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Do not follow the wild geese flying south." The plaque and couplets are both inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo Written in 1959. Entering the exhibition room, the bust of Xin Qiji at the entrance is awe-inspiring. Calligraphy, painting, photography, woodcut, sculpture and other artistic techniques are concentrated around the exhibition room, forming a 62-meter-long exhibition belt, which vividly displays Xin Qiji's heroic and tragic life. Reporters and other tourists stopped to watch, feeling admiration.

"Xin Qiji is our fellow Jinan man!" Zhang Zhaojin told reporters. Xin Qiji's courtesy name was You'an and his alias was Jiaxuan. He was a native of Licheng, Jinan. He was born in the area occupied by the Jin people. In the 31st year of Shaoxing (1161), he participated in the uprising army led by Geng Jing and served as secretary-general. The following year, he was ordered by Geng Jing to go to Jiankang to contact the Southern Song Dynasty regime. On the way back to the north, he heard that the traitor Zhang Anguo had killed Geng Jing and paid gold, so he led fifty cavalry into the Jin camp, captured Zhang Anguo alive, and led his troops back to the Song Dynasty. After crossing to the south, he successively served as the general judge of Jiankang Prefecture, the prisoner of Jiangxi Province, the deputy transit envoy of Hubei, and the pacification envoy of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian. He went to court many times to elaborate on the plan for the Northern Expedition. He was dismissed from his post twice due to disagreements with the Zhuhe faction and lived idlely in Shangrao and Qianshan for nearly 20 years. In the fourth year of Jiatai of Ningzong (1204), Han Youzhou was preparing for the Northern Expedition. He was once appointed as the prefect of Zhenjiang, but was dismissed soon after. He became ill with sorrow and anger and died of illness in 1207.

The east-west exhibition rooms are composed of statues and murals according to the traditional orientation of "Wendong Wuxi". Among them, the west exhibition room is dedicated to "righteousness, courage and loyalty". In the center of the room is a group of statues of Xin Qiji wearing a war robe and inspecting the enemy's situation. The image depicts Xin Qiji's style as a Confucian general who marched on horseback, fought against the Jin soldiers, and was a suave and heroic Confucian general. It reproduces the poet's "drunk night watching the sword and dreaming of blowing the trumpet". Company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings are heard outside the Great Wall." The life in the military camp. The mural "From the Teachings of the Doctors" to "Capturing the Rebels Alive" depicts the various scenes of Xin Qi galloping across the river, breaking into the military camp, and capturing the traitors alive. Each scene is breathtaking in both form and spirit.

The east exhibition room is dedicated to the "Poetry Master of a Generation". In the center of the exhibition room is a statue of Xin Qiji, with a proud and frowning brow, which reproduces the depression and melancholy of the anti-golden hero who had no way to serve the country and was unable to fulfill his ambition. . The murals range from "Ten Essays on Meiqin" to "No Way to Serve the Country", showing the patriotic poet's pure heart to serve the country.

The third entry into the courtyard: rare achievements in moral conduct

"Xin Qiji is not only a national hero, but also a literary giant of a generation!" Zhang Zhaojin pointed to the mural and introduced the theme of his poems It is extensive and rich in content, with patriotic words and pastoral words being the most prominent. Most of his patriotic poems express his ambition to serve the country, expose the shameful behavior of the capitulationists, and express his grief and indignation that his ambition cannot be fulfilled. They have profound artistic conception, magnificent momentum, and bold and tragic style.

His poems describing the pastoral scenery, praising the rivers and mountains of his motherland, and also using the proud landscapes and lingering poems and wine to relieve his mental anguish. The scenes are picturesque, the writing style is light and agile, and the style is elegant and indifferent.

On the east side of the east exhibition room, under the cover of a bamboo forest, a wooden door is gently opened to the backyard - the third courtyard. The backyard is a courtyard imitating a Song Dynasty folk residence, which reproduces the Ci The atmosphere of the era in which people live, antique buildings such as pools, libraries, and conference halls slowly come into view. The reporter seems to have traveled through a time tunnel and wandered in the era 800 years ago. The reporter noticed that each courtyard is surrounded by gardens, which are quiet and elegant with scattered flowers and trees.

Shandong University professor Liu Naichang believes that Xin Qiji is a hero with both literary and military skills. It is not comprehensive enough to treat him only as an outstanding patriotic poet. He is famous in the world of poetry and has had a great influence. He has more than 600 extant poems, including many famous ones, such as "Niannujiao" and "Shuilongyin" written by "Dengjian Kang Shangxin Pavilion", "Bodhisattva Man" written by "Jiangxi Zaokoubi", etc. , are all works when he held military and political positions.

Today, there are only more than 120 poems in the edited edition, which is far from the complete collection. Jiaxuan's creations are most accomplished with his Ci. There are 4 volumes of "Jiaxuan Ci" in the Song Dynasty edition by Ji Gugeying, and 12 volumes of "Jiaxuan Long and Short Sentences" in the Yuan edition. The "Chronological Notes on Jiaxuan Ci" compiled by Deng Guangming, a contemporary poet, contains more than 620 poems, which is the most complete.

As the leader and banner of the patriotic poetry school in the Southern Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji inherited Su Shi’s bold style of poetry and the tradition of patriotic poets in the early Southern Song Dynasty, expanded the scope of expression of poetry, had a broader realm, and had more diverse techniques. , which integrates poetry, prose, poetry, and idioms from hundreds of classics and history.
