Chapter 209: Empress E and Nuying

After resting in Putuo Mountain for one night, Tian Chuan and Xiaohui took a boat to the nearest Ningbo the next day, and then transferred from Ningbo to Yueyang, Hunan. Yueyang is at the junction of the Yangtze River at Dongting Lake, and the famous Yueyang Tower is here. However, this Yueyang Tower is no longer the same building that Fan Zhongyan wrote when he wrote "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

Yueyang Tower was built in the Three Kingdoms period, it is said that it was built by Lu Su, a famous minister of Wu State at that time, and has a history of nearly 1800 years. Yueyang Tower has been destroyed many times by fire, lightning strikes or wars, and then rebuilt. The last time Yueyang Tower was destroyed was in 1922, when the Hunan army entered Yueyang, and the current Yueyang Tower was rebuilt in 1924 by the then Hunan Provincial Government, which is less than a hundred years old.

On the Yueyang Tower, Tian Chuan and Xiaohui tried to appreciate the sense of historical vicissitudes contained in it, but they gained little. Tagawa had been here once in his previous life, but fortunately, it has not been overexploited now, and everything can still reflect its antique appearance more realistically.

On the Yueyang Tower, Tian Chuan and Xiao Hui overlooked Dongting Lake, Tian Chuan recited a part of the "Yueyang Tower" for Xiao Hui, when he heard the words and sentences of "Connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, Hao Hao soup soup, and boundless", Xiao Hui couldn't help but sigh greatly: "Fan Zhongyan is worthy of the reputation of a generation of Wenzong, although his reputation as a writer is not like Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Wang Anshi is as brilliant as he is, and he is not as loud as a politician, but just from these few sentences, you can appreciate his broad-mindedness, and only people with lofty ambitions and the world in their hearts can write such magnificent words. Moreover, he was in the midst of being degraded at that time. Thinking of the end of his 'worries and worries of the world first, and the worries of the world after the world', you can know that this is by no means a casual thing to hear, but his true thoughts. ”

Hearing Xiaohui praise Fan Zhongyan so much, Tian Chuan said: "To a large extent, Fan Zhongyan's brilliance was overshadowed by his contemporaries Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and others, but his status in the literary and political circles at that time was far more than that. His reforms were stifled shortly after they began, and then there was the light of Wang Anshi's reforms, which was his sorrow. In addition, as a writer, he has the talent to inspire words and pass them on for generations; as a patriot, he has the courage to spare his life for the country and the people; and as a reformer, he has the courage to forge ahead and never turn back. However, as a politician, he lacks a clear understanding of the economic and political environment, lacks the desire and interest to control everything, and lacks the vision and mind to recognize and use people, and his failure is inevitable. ”

Xiao Hui also said: "If Fan Zhongyan's military reform can be successful, the national strength and military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty will be raised to a higher level, and when facing the iron cavalry of Western Xia and Khitan, and even when facing the Jin soldiers in the future, there may be a power to occupy it, and perhaps the shame of Jingkang will not happen." ”

Tagawa said, "It's just a matter of taking things for granted. His reforms, as well as Wang Anshi's reforms later, had to move the cake on the plates of those with vested interests at that time, and it was inevitable that they would be counterattacked. These vested interests were the big landlord class at that time, the so-called scholar class. The political form of the Song Dynasty was that the emperor and the scholars ruled the world together, and these scholars had unparalleled power, and they had to compete with these scholars for interests, and it was no wonder that they did not fail. ”

Xiaohui has recently become obsessed with Song Ci, not only reading books such as "The Ten Famous Words of the Song Dynasty" and "All Song Ci", but also reading a large number of notes of famous Song Ci and the history books of the Northern Song Dynasty, etc., and has a rich understanding of the problems of this era, so when it comes to Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others, she gushes endlessly.

Hearing the discussion between Tagawa and Xiaohui, many tourists showed a look of surprise. Tian Chuan is only about twenty years old, still quite young, and Xiaohui is just a little Lori who has not yet grown, obviously still a middle school student, but these two people come here to see the building on a day that is not a holiday, and it is not a weekend, and they can still make more in-depth discussions, which makes people can't help but be surprised.

The two noticed the gazes of the people around them, realized that they were talking a little too excited, looked at each other and smiled, and went downstairs hand in hand.

After the two left, everyone talked about it, and the pair of young men and women just now brought a lot of shock to everyone. At this time, a person suddenly said: "I just heard that little girl call that boy 'Brother Tagawa', is this the Tagawa who broke the record in long-distance running and shot put?"

Immediately, someone said, "Yes, it should be him." No wonder I kept looking at him all the time. ”

"That's it, no wonder he's wearing sunglasses. But listening to him, he has a lot of knowledge of history and literature, and how can people like them who practice sports have time to learn these things?"

"I saw his message on the Internet, it seems that he is a student at Agricultural University, and his academic performance is quite good. In addition, it is said that he is a master of Tai Chi and is very capable of fighting. Someone next to him added.

Everyone talked about it for a while, and finally came to a unified conclusion, this should be that Tian Chuan. is not only a sports star, but also a master and promoter of tai chi, a college student, excellent academic performance, and has created several enterprises of his own, with total assets estimated at hundreds of millions of yuan, as if he is still a calligrapher and painter, which is a little interesting, a very unusual person.

Everyone chased downstairs to further confirm Tian Chuan's identity and take a group photo, but Tian Chuan and Xiao Hui had already left Yueyang Tower and looked for a boat to swim in Dongting Lake.

Dongting Lake is located between Hunan and Hubei, which is also the origin of the names of these two provinces. In fact, it is basically in Hunan, and the main body is a curved waterway, which is composed of multiple lakes strung together.

The two were ready to take a boat to cruise the lake, so they came to the cruise ship pier, and just as the cruise ship was about to leave, they took a boat to Junshan first.

Junshan is a small island in the Dongting Lake near Yueyang, the area is very small, less than one square kilometer, but the island is full of vegetation, many scenic spots, and the scenery is very beautiful.

On the Yueyang Tower, they have seen the Junshan Mountain in the lake from a distance, the distance is a little far, looking at the small, the island is green, which makes people yearn for it. Now on the cruise, I see Junshan Island getting closer and closer, the color of the grass and trees on the island is becoming more and more verdant, and the buildings are gradually showing their outlines.

Xiao Hui whispered: "Emperor Xiaoxiang is not far away, and there is no room for the autumn grass cave. Sweep the Ming Lake to open the jade mirror, and Danqing painted Junshan. ”

Tian Chuan said next to him: "Yes, the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake is really refreshing. Li Bai's poem not only depicts the otherworldly beauty of Junshan, but also leaves a huge space for people's imagination. The sentence 'Danqing painted is Junshan' brings people infinite reverie. ”

Xiaohui said: "It is also a poem describing Dongting Lake and Junshan, Liu Yuxi's "Looking at Dongting" is far behind, the scenery is too realistic, although the metaphor is novel, but it lacks the space for imagination, and Li Bai's poem is not the same. ”

Tian Chuan carefully recalled Liu Yuxi's "Looking at the Dongting" and read out the poem: "The lake and autumn moon are in harmony, and the surface of the lake has no wind mirrors and has not been polished." Looking at the landscape of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail on the silver plate. The poems are grand and magnificent, but they lack the aura in Li Bai's poems, and there are really a lot of differences. Do you think that a snail on a silver plate can attract people to see it?"

When Xiao Hui heard Tian Chuan's statement, she was amused and laughed: "Hey, it seems to be the truth." So the contrast is obvious. You look at Li Bai's statement, a simple sentence 'Danqing painted is Jun Mountain', such a beautiful scenery can only be seen from the painting, but the actual how it is not said, it is reminiscent, and the sense of unfinished is on the paper, when will I be able to write such a sentence. ”

"Your writing talent is excellent, as long as you stick to your travelogue writing style, there will always be refreshing works coming out, maybe a few years, maybe ten years, your name may spread all over the country, everyone knows. ”

"I don't dare to think that far, so let's go to the island and experience what it feels like for the man to swim in the painting. ”

The two went out to travel this time, Xiaohui insisted on writing his own travelogue, and Tagawa also continued the habit of writing travelogues in Europe last time. Every night, when the two arrived at the hotel, they each turned on their computers and crackled their keyboards.

Xiaohui's travelogue style is fresh, with different lengths, sometimes writing 10,000 or 20,000 words a day, and sometimes only 1,000 words. And Tian Chuan exerts his thick and simple style, and will type seven or eight thousand words every day. After writing, when the two exchanged views on each other's articles, Tagawa was often shocked by Megumi's unique perspective and light brushstrokes. Xiaohui often laughed at Brother Tagawa, saying that he did not write a travelogue, but a work report. Tagawa couldn't do anything about it, and he had developed such a style of writing in Kumon for decades before and after, and it was almost impossible to write that kind of prose that exuded aura.

Tian Chuan also used himself as a negative teaching material to warn Xiaohui: "You look at my articles, they have been given a type by work, and it is almost impossible to write something that is a little literary and artistic." Since you like to write, you must maintain your own style and never be worn out by the world, otherwise your literary achievements will not be able to progress. ”

After arriving on the island, the feeling of verdant and dripping shock is not as strong as when you look at it from the boat, and there are more cultural landscapes everywhere. Liu Yijing, the Book Pavilion, the Wine Fragrance Pavilion, the Jiaotai and other landscapes are not enough to arouse their interest. Only the tomb of Emperor Shun's two concubines brought a greater shock to the two. After Xiao Hui saw the tomb of the second concubine, she looked at Tian Chuan a little stupidly and asked, "Brother Tian Chuan, Empress E and Nuying sisters serve Emperor Shun together, and they are intimate. Will Sister Jingyi and I be like them in the future?" This was the first time that Xiaohui said this directly, but Tian Chuan didn't give the following answer for a long time. For Xiaohui and Xu Jingyi, he always had an emotion of living up to the beauty, and he didn't know what would happen in the future, and he didn't dare to answer the two.
