What is the couplet in Huangyao Ancient Town?

Appreciation of Couplets in Huangyao Ancient Town, Guangxi

After traveling from Guilin to Yangshuo, I went straight to Huangyao Ancient Town, a world-famous dream home. She is an ancient cultural town with a history of thousands of years, located in the lower reaches of Lijiang River, 200 kilometers away from Guilin. The ancient town of Fiona Fang is 3.6 square kilometers, with towering peaks, towering old trees, deep caves, surrounded by Qingxi and simple scenery, which is a typical karst landform. Known as many mountains and rivers and caves; There are many pavilions and attics; There are many temples; There are many ancestral halls; There are many ancient trees; There are many plaques on couplets. There are 186 poems praising Huang Yao, 197 couplets, and more than 50 plaques, among which the imperial edict plaques in Manchu and Chinese were given by Emperor Guangxu himself, and the famous "Seven Chas in Zuo Qi" plaque was included in the book "Famous Monuments in China". There are more than 20 temples and 65,438 pavilions in the ancient town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are ink marks left by Han Yu and Liu Zongbiao in the town, among which the pavilion-style ancient stage is the best preserved and largest stage in the Ming Dynasty in Guangxi. Bridges and flowing water, poetry couplets and calligraphy and painting plaques are full of literary atmosphere, which also reflects the good fashion of Huang Yao people advocating poetry, calligraphy, ceremony and music from generation to generation.

Huang Yao people advocate the legacy of "everything is inferior, only reading is high". According to historical records, during the period from Kangxi to Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Yao gave a total of 1 1 juren. The whole ancient town is a complete cultural history of residents in eastern Guangxi. Houses are mostly two-story brick structures. Although it is not as magnificent as a big family in the city, it is beautifully built, and brick carving, stone carving and wood carving all have a high level of craftsmanship. The beams and columns, arches, rafters, walls and ceilings of ancient buildings have been carved and painted in various ways, which are lifelike. The paving technology of Shiban Street is exquisite, straight and flat, seamless, the street space scale is pleasant, and different buildings can advance and retreat freely. Walking slowly on the smooth and shiny bluestone street, walking in and out of the ancient courtyards, looking at the mottled walls, stroking the stone mortar worn by the wind and rain, imagining the prosperity here in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, making people feel the long history and profound cultural accumulation. The overall style of the ancient town is rich and colorful, harmonious and unified, giving people a sense of beauty. There is the best preserved, most beautiful and largest Ming Dynasty ancient stage in Guangxi. The old streets are inlaid with black slates, and the town is surrounded by a bay, a unique stone arch bridge and a stone pier bridge. The grotesque ancient banyan trees can be seen everywhere. The old houses that make people feel more natural in the town are all ordinary, and there is no disharmony between the old and the new. Even the apartments of He Xiangning, Gao Shiqi, Ou Yangyuqian, Qian Jiaju and other cultural celebrities who lived in Huangyao during the Anti-Japanese War are still occupied by ordinary people. Known as: the perfect combination of man and nature.

The East Gate Building in the ancient town is one of the most magnificent buildings, and the couplet style on the railing is even more magnificent. Outreach is: "Sichuan Sanjiang directly bypasses Zhuhai Yao Haixiong and Yanzi Xicheng; Lou Chengwu Feng Te lifted the key to Luofeng Xiawen East Gate. " This couplet depicts the geographical advantages of Huangyao ancient town and the majestic momentum of the gatehouse. Inline is: "the bright moon moves mountains, and the shadow pedestrians shine on the moon in the mountains;" The breeze floats among the clouds, and the wind sends the clouds back and forth. "The ancient town described by this association is beautiful and picturesque, just like a fairyland on earth. The ancient stage quietly guards the gate of the ancient town. It was last renovated in the Qing Dynasty. The plaque on the stage is very interesting-"Kexing". It is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, local residents prepared to raise funds to rebuild the ancient stage, and consulted Zuoji Lin, the most famous juren in Huangyao ancient town. He casually said that he could "revive" After the construction of the ancient stage was completed, the people in the town asked him to write a plaque, and he casually wrote down the word "Can Xing". The word "NengXing" comes from Confucius' The Analects of Confucius: "Poetry can prosper, view, group and complain." Zuoji Lin's pen suggests that the ancient stage can be built and Huang Yao is thriving. The couplets on both sides are also amazing: "The gongs and drums are loud and the orchestral music is sweet * * * to celebrate peace and happiness; Dress dance and feather song can be sung together. " The joint article is sincere and affectionate.

The ancient town built in Lingnan in Ming and Qing Dynasties is a unique couplet culture with natural simplicity and unique local characteristics and styles. "Don't have a hole to hide the world; There is no resort "Saixian Mountain". This picture of Xingning Temple is an incisive description of the height of Huangyao ancient town by a Qing Dynasty juren. In fact, where there are mountains, there must be water, where there is water, there must be bridges, pavilions, pavilions and plaques, which constitute a unique landscape. Every building in the ancient town has a touching story, and every couplet plaque has a set of philosophy. Some of them show people's daily life, some reflect the historical development of Huang Yao's origin, and most of them reflect the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. There are many famous couplets in Huangyao ancient town. Word paper stoves as small as three feet square are also decorated, and some are also divided into inline, outreach and left and right couplets. Formally, the crane top is in harmony with the beam, and the length is in its place. Cut the scenery and feelings, cut the time and cut the things, and the topic is exquisite and amazing. Because there are many couplets, this article only selects some representative couplets to reward you. " Another couplet of "Donggu": "Pearl water is infinitely blue; Brother Five is green on the other side. "There is not much pen and ink, and the joint language is free and easy, entertaining and entertaining. The pavilions in the ancient town are places for teaching and educating people, and also places for people to rest. The couplets in these pavilions are leisurely and meaningful. On the first gate of the Civilization Museum, the words "Civilization First" are written in four ink characters, and the couplets on both sides are "Morality Forever; Civilization comes first. "The second mountain gate reads:" The louder the spring water enters the water; The autumn mountain is clearer, and the horizontal batch is the "glottis". This couplet describes tianmashan and Wenming Pavilion in the Spring and Autumn Period. In spring, the spring water rises, and the gentle river in the past becomes cheerful and swift, with waves and wonderful piano sounds; In autumn, the air is crisp, the sky is blue and the land is far away, the mountains are greener and the water is clearer. This is really a beautiful scenery. Its inlining is also very philosophical and profound: "Stars Ping Ye; There are many mountains like Luoyang. " This couplet was written after the Gate of Sound. After paying homage to Emperor Zhenwu and Guan, two saints with both civil and military skills, the tourists looked back at this couplet and suddenly realized. Near Anmenlian: "There are thousands of flowers on the tree; There are no ghosts in the countryside, and all people are safe. Suddenly the pavilion answered, "I am still fascinated by wind flowers; There is no rain, the light is still dripping, and the wind is chic. Samsung Loulian: "Thousands of trees in the community; A bridge across the building is only a stone's throw away, which means ancient fragrance and makes sense. There is a couplet in front of the ancient stage: "If you smell its vocal music, you will be born. If you don't take precautions, you will tire your ears; "Still have to think about it." The couplets are smooth and cheerful. The artistic conception of the couplets beside Longqiao is very beautiful: "I don't know if the sun is coming for a long time, but I am busy laughing at white clouds when I am free." Leisurely, humorous and interesting, rare.

Nowadays, it is still the habit of Huang Yao people to paste couplets in front of every household on holidays. Residents of the ancient town posted couplets reflecting the unique local cultural landscape and natural landscape to publicize the charm of the ancient town to tourists. "Family affairs, state affairs, leisure in the world; Tea, rice, tea, fine matcha and sit and eat tea. " I came to Huangyao Ancient Town, Zhaoping County, Guangxi, and was attracted by such a couplet of a family. It is not a matter of leisure, but a true portrayal of family affairs, state affairs and everything in the world. According to the data, Gu Yuquan, who is over 70 years old, once wrote such an extraordinary couplet with the characteristics of an ancient town: "The ancient town is full of weather, pavilions, temples, old shops and stone streets, and domestic tourist attractions; The old street has good scenery, beautiful mountains and rivers, curved bridges and arches, ancient trees and green bamboo forests, and a paradise. " The folk customs there are simple. Besides, "Zhouzhuang in the east, Lijiang in the west, Huangyao in the south, Pingyao in the north and Phoenix in the middle", some experts define the five ancient towns in China. Under the green trees, there are shady houses in Huangyao ancient town and the winding river of Yaojiang River, which gives you a panoramic view, and it feels like "surrounded by green hills and empty eyes". As people say, "The ancient town of Huangyao is like a thousand-year-old collection of poems, forgotten on the secluded shelves of the library. When people inadvertently walked by and opened this beautiful chapter, the simple and elegant style immediately conquered people's hearts. " The ancient town of Huangyao is like a Millennium poem hidden in the corner, waiting for a bosom friend to read it carefully. The profound artistic conception of couplets in this thousand-year-old town can only be realized by savoring it carefully; As long as you taste her attentively, you will understand her, love reading her, patronize her and like her. ...
