Wild Scenery —— From Yan Hui Academy to Jingu (5).

Yan Hui Academy is located in zhang wan, Jinling Town, Dawu County. Yan Hui Academy was built in Yan's old house, which was built by the 67th generation of Yan's ancestors. The architectural style of northern Hubei in the middle and late Ming Dynasty is partially preserved here. This style embodies the architectural style of "frame structure, blue brick body, adobe wall, stone gate, solid wood roof and black tile flying eaves"

When we approached the gate of the academy, we were attracted by the couplet on the gate, which read: "Don't change the simple alley, but cherish the family style and be good at art." When I entered the courtyard gate, I looked back and saw a horizontal plaque on the door, which read: "Virtue, Arts, Zhou Hou". It seems that more than two thousand years have passed, and the descendants of Yan still have not forgotten to restore the virtue of saints.

What attracts people to stop at the academy is the marble statue of Yan Hui. Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, he stood silently by the tree and looked at the busy academy with wise eyes.

There are some old houses in the academy. Earth walls, art tiles, wells, doorframes, stone gates and other relics still stand. Someone took pictures in this old-fashioned door frame, which looked funny.

I may be curious. Although Yan Hui followed Confucius among the six countries, he had never been to the south. At that time, it was a barbarian land, and the roads were dangerous, making it difficult for horses and chariots to reach. How did his descendants come from? Why did they take root here and bring Yan Zi's theory, heritage and family style here?

I wandered around the academy with questions, trying to find answers from the buildings and exhibitions here. But I don't know why. The doors of the exhibition hall here are all closed, only the doors of the bookstore and restaurant are open.

At this time, it began to rain lightly in the sky. I climbed up an old building that was only half full. Standing on the platform, I can see the whole building here. A public welfare worker standing next to me said: "This is a project of our precision poverty alleviation. The overall style of the building complex is the layout of residential buildings in northern Hubei. Someone concluded: "The ancient gatehouse in northern Hubei style has a deep winding courtyard;" "Rows of Shiva roof, head sitting behind the house. Pick the door and lift the beam farmer, and the blue bricks and adobe are homesick; The ancient well of Zaojiao is always accompanied by mountains and rivers. "

He also talked to me about the overall layout of this poverty alleviation project and told me that the Jingu Intangible Cultural Experience Zone is worth seeing. There are three areas: red culture, farming culture and folk culture. You can also watch various folk performances. ...

At this time, it was raining heavily, and my companion called out to me below. I said goodbye to this warm-hearted man. He also said: "It's raining, you can go to the book club and have tea there!" "

We left the college and walked along the greenway halfway up the mountain. On both sides of the road are the original Chinese tallow trees, and the leaves rustle. They are different from the trees growing in the park. They stood in Shan Ye, facing the wind and rain.

Because they grow in different places, some are like giants standing against the wind; Some are like graceful girls; Some are like fairies dressed beautifully; Some are more like paper-cut paintings, because the mountain wind blows off the red leaves, leaving only a few yellow leaves and bird's nest on the fork to decorate the trunk. ...

It's interesting to see the scenery in the rain. The green hills are dotted with red leaves, the green water is like a colorful pool, and the air is fresh and refreshing. On the way, I met two village girls sitting in a tea shed on the hillside and asked us from a distance, "Do you want local chicken? 24 yuan a catty, still free-range! "

The old driver said, "Not now, come back and buy it."

We walked for about 20 minutes and reached the Golden Valley. The buildings here are basically similar to those in zhang wan, belonging to the folk experience area. Maybe it's because of the rain, or maybe there are too few tourists and no folk performances. Only tofu shops and restaurants are still open.

We sat in the roadside pavilion to have a rest. I put the food I brought on the chess table. My husband sat there drinking tea, eating melon seeds and reading leisurely. The old driver rested in the pavilion, wearing clothes and snoring; On another chess table, there are several idle people like us. They play cards and watch cards, but they are quiet. I can only hear the sound of raindrops and the tinkling of streams flowing into ponds not far away. Then the stream flows through Tang Di, meanders out of the narrow estuary at the bottom of the valley along the village, and flows into Waixi of Jinling Town. Jingu's road also leads to the outside world along the direction of the stream.

At this time, a group of tourists came and listened to the accent. They are from Wuhan. Someone said, "Dude, I'll take 20 Jin of wine! This is authentic grain wine! "

Others exclaimed: "Come here! There is ground bean curd brain here, and you can eat a bowl of bean curd brain. "

Shuizhu and I sat on a bench, discussing the composition of landscape photos and taking pictures of the scenery in front of us. I photographed the couplets in the restaurant, which was very interesting. I said to Shuizhu, "Let me perform this couplet!" "

She smiled and nodded, and I cleared my throat and began to perform: a drunken man came out of the restaurant and loudly said to Dashan, "Dude, you have a bad capacity for drinking!" " You got drunk after only two drinks! If you don't drink, I will go home. "

The drunk walked on, and the pine tree blocked his way. He pushed the pine tree away and said, "Who are you?" A good dog is out of the way! "

Before I finished my performance, she smiled and said, "It seems to be this couplet!"

I don't play the game. I'll tell you the answer: "I'm drunk when I'm idle."

Looking around again, the door couplet of Tofu Square is not bad, and it can also play a one-act drama: Tofu Square!

This time, I'm going to dress up as a storyteller and say, "It's Han Tou who runs a tofu mill, which means stubborn. Oh, don't you get it? " Is a fool! He is fearless, claiming to be a subordinate of Taishan God, and he is so brave! Unfortunately, I can only follow in my father's footsteps and make a living by selling tofu. But tofu was priced as meat by him. How can we make money? "

Alas! I forgot to tell you, tofu shop door couplet is: tofu dish becomes meat price, life is better than Shi Gandang. I didn't remember until I finished writing it! Ha ha! )

There is a row of stone mills in front of the tofu house, a stream on the left and right in front of the house, and a small arch bridge by the stream. A middle-aged man sat in the cloister by the bridge, staring at his mobile phone and guarding a red sedan chair. It is estimated that the sedan chair is the guide of folk performances.

The greenway leads to the exit of the valley bottom along the stream, and there is also a roast chicken shop at the head of the village. His couplets are also fun: Liang Ji's secret chicken can sing the world white as soon as it opens its mouth, and Jinling incense is added to the bath fire. The owner and proprietress of this shop are cleaning up the leftovers and preparing to go home. When they saw me looking at their family couplet, they started talking. They come to the folk village to do business during the day and go home at night. When there are few tourists, you can close the store in advance, so you are still relatively free. They locked the shop door with cardboard boxes, and the husband and wife left the scenic spot on a tricycle.

When we walked out of the narrow valley and looked back, we found that we could not see the scenery of the valley clearly. We can only see layers of red bull fat, red maple, ginkgo and yellow autumn grass. Occasionally, the wind blows and the shadows of trees sway. Through the gap, we can see the dragon eaves of houses in the valley.

When I left zhang wan, I met a village woman who had just picked vegetables from the vegetable garden and went home. The old driver saw her chickens walking in the Woods, with long red crowns and green ears, which were different from those in the vegetable market, and asked about the price. She said sincerely, "The prices here are all the same, but I can't catch them today. If you come tomorrow morning! " "

We're really sorry. Their pheasants are so cute. I like to cook delicious food. I thought, this pheasant must be delicious.

On the way home, we have been discussing a problem. Cars and horses used to be slow and the road was long. How many places have the descendants of the Yan family traveled for generations, and finally they came here to choose a treasure trove of geomantic omen and take root?

With the family style of their ancestors, they hide in the valley of Jinling, reproduce from generation to generation, inherit the sensitive and studious style, advocate filial piety, and maintain "people are good to me and I am good" in dealing with people; People treat me badly, so do I. "Character. This may be the biggest gain we inadvertently get.

Attachment: Travel guide on the road, starting from Xiaogan, along Beijing Road, taking National Road 107, heading for Xiaochang, and heading north for Dawu County.

1. From Xiaogan to Jinling Town, take National Highway 107, then take Provincial Highway 243 to Xiaochang County, and then take Dajie, 2 hours and 53 minutes. We originally planned to go to Gu Si Town to see the red leaves, because we were stuck in Jinling Town to carry out public welfare activities here to see the red leaves, help the poor accurately and help the red tourism in the old areas. But the animal fat here is not inferior.
