Lu Qun: a treasure hunter in Gu Jing, Xiangxi.

Lu Qun is one of the respected scholars in western Hunan.

Lu Qun and Zhai Fei's words brought me into Xiangxi.

Zhai Fei's "Scenery of Xiangxi" is a mysterious land "landscape portrait, geographical annotation, cultural map, folk dictionary and collection of past events".

Lu Qun's witchcraft in Xiangxi, falling into caves in Xiangxi and driving corpses in Xiangxi have given me a profound understanding of the so-called "three evils in Xiangxi", which is both perceptual and scientific.

Zoya is another Hunan woman whom I respect. Her expression of Xiangxi is photography, and Shen Congwen's Xiangxi world is a work of art in which words and pictures blend and complement each other.

On a weekend in October this year, I visited Lu Qun in Jishou University. It's a pity that the Institute of Philosophy was locked up, and the harvest was that I saw a brief introduction about her on the introduction column of experts and scholars in the Institute.

In fact, at this time, she is already in another school. Changsha University of Science and Technology announced on the Internet in February, 2065438+2009 that "upon my application, I decided to transfer Lu Qun from Jishou University to the Marxist College of our school." Prior to this, the university formerly known as Changsha Jiaotong University published Lu Qun's personal information online in June 65438+1October 65438+June this year.

Lu Qun and Song Zu Ying's hometown-Guzhang County, Xiangxi, are both Tujia people, and Song Zu Ying is three years older than her.

Lu Qun graduated from the History Department of Huazhong Normal University in the early 1990s and returned to Xiangxi for religious culture. This turning point stems from her special liking for Shen Congwen. For more than 20 years, she "almost visited many Miao villages and Tujia villages mentioned in Shen Congwen's book." Do fieldwork on Hunan land and collect lost folk customs and mysterious legends. "Reading her book is like wading through mountains and rivers in Xiangxi and having a heart-to-heart talk with the villagers. She paid a huge price for this selfless investment-once she took her students to do field work and broke her waist, which became a grade 9 disability. After lying in bed for three months, I went to the "ancient well with inexhaustible academic research" for treasure hunting (Lu Qunyu).

"For more than ten years, Lu Qun has tirelessly conducted field investigations among the people in western Hunan. In the Miao area of La 'ershan, she met hundreds of "Badai" (wizards), collected a large number of folk oral materials, tens of thousands of photos and hundreds of hours of documentary video materials, and made biographies for dozens of them. "

In addition to rich academic achievements, officially, her "Research on Management Innovation of Folk Belief Organizations in Ethnic Areas-Taking Southwest Ethnic Areas as an Example" won the second prize of theoretical research of the Central United Front Work Department; In the folk, someone asked her for "poison".

Reading Lu Qun's books has a poetic style. It turns out that she likes poetry and has published three books of poetry, including February Flower Tune.

Lu Qun once told reporters: My life benefits from the nutrition and nourishment given to me by Xiangxi. In Xiangxi, I found a suitable expression and lifestyle, that is, looking for words in the fields. I like striding in the fields of the village. I like to indulge in the sunshine in the mountains of western Hunan, warm, clear and yellow. I like the flowers in Shan Ye, the fresh air in the countryside and sincere friends. There are sacred folk ceremonies again and again. In the face of them, I always have an unspeakable feeling, a self-evident confusion. All this makes me feel "sacred" and "sacred". Xiangxi is the inexhaustible source of poetry in my heart and the "ancient well" of my inexhaustible academic research.
