The charm of Huizhou is unforgettable.

Last night, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, I watched a large-scale multimedia modern song and dance "Hui Yun" reflecting Huizhou history.

Huiyun is a symbolic performance in Huangshan City. A new Huangshan Mountain she showed has been displayed in front of people and has become a new "business card" representing Anhui.

The whole performance was grand and accomplished in one go. The appearance of various high-tech products on the stage endows this stage play with fantastic charm, which is memorable.

I have seen many introductions about Hui Yun on the Internet. It is said that this drama is divided into five acts, namely, Huangshan Mountain in Four Seasons, Heaven and Earth, Dreaming of Huizhou, Hui Ban going to Beijing and Hui Feng Hui Yun. In fact, in my opinion, she should have an opening statement.

The preface begins with a poem by Tang Xianzu, a playwright and poet in the middle and late Ming Dynasty: "If you want to know gold and silver, you must swim yellow and white. I have never dreamed of Huizhou in my life. " On the stage, Tang Xianzu holds the emblem pen, dips in the emblem ink, writes down the poem, and cursive script appears on the screen.

If the audience didn't know that Tang Xianzu was from Huizhou and that he had written this poem, they wouldn't appreciate the theme of Hui Yun: reflecting the history of Huizhou in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The history of Huizhou, whether it is prosperity or decline, is the imprint of Huizhou in the history of China, and it is also an unavoidable historical symbol in the history of China in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The understanding of Tang Xianzu's poem "You can't visit Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain" is like a thousand people to a thousand Hamlets. Some people think it is the ancient people's yearning for Huangshan Mountain, some people think it is a compliment to the scenery in southern Anhui, and some even say it is a mentality that the author who was neither successful nor poor at that time refused to bow his head and ask for help: it is said that wealth is in Huizhou, but unfortunately I never thought about going to Huizhou all my life!

No matter what the artistic conception of that poem is, what the author wanted to express at that time, after all, it was hundreds of years ago, so we don't need to delve into it. However, the charming scenery and folk customs of ancient Huizhou and southern Anhui today are indeed the holy places that people are eager to visit now. Even I, a layman, have come for the third time. I'm obsessed with it!

There is a sentence in the script that "Huizhou merchants" once dominated the business circles in China for nearly 400 years. So when did these 400 years begin?

I checked the history of Huizhou merchants. In fact, Huizhou merchants were born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, grew up in the Tang and Song Dynasties, flourished in the Ming Dynasty and declined in the Qing Dynasty.

Huizhou, formerly known as Huangshan City, Jixi County, Anhui Province and Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province.

Huizhou merchants refer to Huizhou merchants, businessmen from the old Huizhou government or merchant groups, not all Huizhou merchants. Huizhou merchants are also called "Xin 'an merchants", commonly known as "Hui Gang", just as Shanxi merchants were once called "Jingang".

Huizhou merchants mainly engaged in salt, rice, silk, tea, paper, ink, wood, pawn and so on. At that time, our Shanxi merchants were mainly engaged in salt industry and banks, especially banks.

Accordingly, the 400 years that Huizhou merchants ruled China's business circles in the emblem rhyme should refer to 319 years in the Ming Dynasty and 95 years in the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, in my opinion, what I admire most in the Ming Dynasty is not Huizhou's business ethics, but her culture. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were 22 top scholars in Huizhou, and there were 22 Jinshi 1 136. This figure is provided by the theater, and the credibility should be five stars. Under the influence of fellow countryman Zhu's thought, Huizhou people should take the road of imperial examination in order to serve the country with fame.

Zhu, a native of Wuyuan, belonged to Huizhou Prefecture in ancient times. Zhu's Neo-Confucianism influenced China's ideological system. Wang Yangming, a student of Zhu, has influenced China for hundreds of years.

Some people say that although Wang Yangming's students are classified, the "Lindong Party" composed of students who graduated from Lindong College played an important role in the late Ming Dynasty, saving the Ming Dynasty and making it linger for decades.

The most prosperous imperial examination system in Ming Dynasty was always criticized by Chinese people, especially the hypocritical so-called "saints". But I personally think that the imperial examination system has changed the history of poor children and the fate of ordinary children, making them the center of state power, which not only promoted the development of China's history, but also promoted the progress of Confucianism.

Only after reading Hui Yun did I know that China's Peking Opera evolved from Hui Opera. In fact, this is understandable, because it is normal for me, a person who doesn't like watching Peking Opera, not to know the development history of Peking Opera. But after watching this drama, I have accumulated a common sense of history, that is, to know the origin of Beijing opera.

1959, during the second exhibition of Huizhou Opera, Anqing performed Huangmei Opera "Female Ma Xu" on behalf of Anhui Huangmei Opera, which was very successful at that time. In last night's "Huiyun" performance, there was a special part to perform.

On the whole, Huiyun's performance is quite successful, and I like it very much. I have a better understanding of Huizhou's history. I'm glad you came.
