Nanchang means "prosperity in the south" and "prosperity in the south of Xinjiang". The name of Nanchang City is changed, the Han is called Yuzhang, the Tang is called Hongzhou, the Southern Song Dynasty is called Longxing, and it is named Nanchang in the Ming Dynasty, and it is used until later generations.

Nanchang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with developed water and land transportation, and the situation is dangerous. According to the "Book of Han", in 202 years ago (5 years of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty), the Marquis of Yingyin was ordered to garrison the local area, build the "Guancheng", and build the city in the following year, the circumference of the city is ten miles and eighty-four steps, called the "Guanying City", creating the history of Nanchang City.

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Nanchang's economic and strategic position became more and more prominent, and Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, promoted Hongzhou to Nanchang in the first year of Jiaotai (959), and moved the capital from Jiangning to Nanchang in 961 (the second year of Song Jianlong), called "Nandu". In 975 (the eighth year of Song Kaibao), after the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Hongzhou, and in 1020 (the fourth year of Tianxi), it belonged to Jiangnan West Road. In 1030 (the eighth year of Tiansheng), the governance office of Jiangnan West Road was set up in Hongzhou.

According to Fang Zhongyong's understanding, the development of transportation means that the city is very rich and prosperous. And does prosperity also mean that economic activities are frequent, and the citizens living in them are busy? For example, Zhang Panlong, Brother Zhang.

When I came to the Liansheng Inn where I had agreed to meet, I learned that the "flying man" brother had gone to Poyang Lake to inspect the company's business again. Fang Zhongyong didn't know how big the county lord's and relatives' business was. But since it can take the Poyang Lake waterway, it will enter the Yangtze River and then circulate throughout the country. If you just cut a few bamboos from the mountain and pick two baskets of mushrooms, there is absolutely no need to go through that effort. In ancient times, there were only a few bulk goods, such as grain, cloth, porcelain, precious wood, etc. It couldn't be easier to be a part of it, and even get rich.

With a little regret that he didn't see his friends, at the instigation of Uncle Zhong and Li San, Fang Zhongyong drank a few glasses of "fatigue relief wine" and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Fang Zhongyong was embarrassed to find that his underwear was stained with some indescribable viscous liquid. Naturally, he knew what it was, and he understood the reason for it.

He just didn't understand why the woman in the dream was always vaguely unable to see her face clearly, and the voice she made was not a "seductive soul" but a cold breath. What's even more hateful is that the woman repeatedly said, "The slave's surname is Yan, not Zheng."

According to Freud's analysis of dreams, dreams are the embodiment of people's subconscious spiritual needs that cannot be satisfied. According to the Chinese Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams, there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night. Of course, Fang Zhongyong would not think that he was thinking of Zhang Panlong's goods and started Longyang, after all, there was a very obvious reminder that "the slave family is surnamed Yan, not Zheng". But to say that Fang Zhongyong had any "thoughts of King Xiang" for Miss Yan Jia, who was not even a one-sided relationship, it was a bit arbitrary. It should just be a normal physiological phenomenon, well, it must be.

I hurriedly changed my clothes, took a shower, and then started studying, and the effect was surprisingly good, which is probably the so-called "sage time". Fang Zhongyong felt that he was a sage at this time, without any selfish thoughts, he needed to read two or three times to remember the content in the past, and he remembered it once, which can really be described as "ten lines at a glance, never forget". Could it be that those legendary powers are all "sages", or are they in the state of "sages"?

When you are tired of reading, making a pot of tea and tasting it is also quite elegant.

In the afternoon, the servants of Zeng's house came looking for him. It turned out that the Zeng brothers estimated that Fang Zhongyong had probably arrived, so they sent people to inquire every day. Seeing that Fang Zhongyong had arrived, he hurriedly went back to report the news. Not long after, the Zeng brothers came together.

As soon as they met, Zeng Ye said: "I miss you to death!" ”

Fang Zhongyong couldn't help but complain secretly, are you the reincarnation of a cross talk actor? However, I haven't seen it for more than a month, and I feel very close. Knowing your hometown in another country! Zeng Ye's humor and Zeng Gong's calmness are like a spring breeze.

Seeing that Fang Zhongyong ate "simply", Zeng Ye was very unhappy: "Why is the virtuous brother so economical, is it because he is not entangled enough?" If you are a little strained, but to put it bluntly, don't wronged yourself. Friends have the righteousness of wealth, you and I have no rebellion, and we can't let the virtuous brother suffer. ”

Fang Zhongyong looked at his pickles and rice porridge, this can be regarded as saving? I don't think there's anything, do you? immediately smiled bitterly: "Brother Shumao, where did you start with this?" Just because the weather is hot, eat something light to avoid getting angry, not because of shyness. If I really can't open the pot, I will definitely rely on your house and not leave. When the time comes, the two of them don't have to be driven away. ”

Zeng Gong said with a smile: "I don't know when Brother Fang won't be able to open the pot, I'll wait until I go home and close the door, so as not to let the evil guests enter the door." However, this inn is a place to rest, and if you rely on this store for food, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Why don't you let the guys from Linjiang Tower send some meals over every day, what does the eldest brother think? ”

Zeng Ye had nothing to say: "Anyway, it won't cost a few dollars, so let's do what Zigu said." ”

Fang Zhongyong stubbornly said: "The so-called reactive power is not punished, although it does not cost too much, how can the junior brother accept it plainly?" ”

Zeng Ye said: "I don't care if you accept it or not, the guy just delivers the meal on time." If you don't eat it, throw it away. If you eat deliciously, you can also specify some dishes for the restaurant to make. ”

Fang Zhongyong couldn't refuse, but he didn't want to eat other people's for nothing, so he proposed to invite the Zeng brothers to drink. Zeng Ye understood what Fang Zhongyong meant, so he said: "It's rare that the virtuous brother has Yaxing, so let's go to Tengwang Pavilion to visit the night market." Agreed, all the expenses are the virtuous brothers'. Can't you pay the bills? ”

Fang Zhongyong was very grateful to Zeng Ye for being old and sophisticated, but he was a little puzzled about the statement of visiting the night market. Visiting a night market? Masturbating and drinking beer? Was the economy of the Song Dynasty so developed?

In fact, Fang Zhongyong was a little lonely.

On April 13 of the third year of Qiande (965 AD), Song Taizu issued an edict to Kaifeng Mansion: "The night market in the capital to the three drums has not been banned." Since then, food night markets have not only appeared in large numbers, but also flourished. It is recorded in "Tokyo Menghualu": "The night market did not reopen until the third watch, and then reopened on the fifth watch. If you want to go to a place, you know endlessly. "Although the winter moon is windy, snowy and rainy, there is also a night market." This is a true portrayal of the night market in Tokyo at that time.

Although Hongzhou is not as prosperous as Bianliang, it is also the key place of "Guangdong and Minting, Wu Tou and Chuwei".

At this time, it was the height of summer, and the dignitaries, scribes and ladies who had received a day of sun-scorched sun, were about to take advantage of the night to come out to relax and chat. Of course, it would be nice if there were some beautiful stories to happen.

When a group of people came to the front of King Teng's Pavilion, it was a crowd of tourists, and there was an endless stream. Walking in the shining lights, listening to the rhyming and shouting of the hawkers, it really makes people feel like a dream. Maybe I'm one of the flowers, right?

A few people ate some rice cakes and barbecue meat indiscriminately, and they were already full. Taking advantage of the wine, Zeng Ye proposed to climb the Tengwang Pavilion to enjoy the twilight scenery. Zeng Gongyan said: "I'm afraid that the steward guarding the door won't allow it, right? ”

Zeng Ye smiled and said: "For my brother, I also have a reputation for showing talent, and the two of you are also scholars who went to the exam, can we still steal his things?" As long as you have some money with him, you will definitely let us in. ”

When they got downstairs, they acted according to Zeng Ye's methods, and several people ascended to King Teng's Pavilion without hindrance. To say that this Tengwang Pavilion, but it is very famous, and the Yueyang Tower of Yueyang City, Hunan, and the Yellow Crane Tower of Wuhan City, Hubei Province are called "the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River". At that time, Fan Zhongyan's famous article "The Story of Yueyang Tower" had not yet been published, and the theory of the three famous buildings was not prevalent. But according to the people of Nanchang, the other two floors are not enough to compete with the Tengwang Pavilion.

First of all, noble birth. Tengwang Pavilion was built by Li Yuanying, the son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. Because Li Yuanying was once named King Teng, it is the only existing royal building in the south of the Yangtze River with the name Tengwang Pavilion.

Secondly, the writing is brilliant. The literary style mentioned here does not only include the poetry and songs of celebrities in the past dynasties, which is not unique to King Teng's Pavilion. It is only because in the ancient customs of our country, the place where the population lives needs feng shui architecture, which is generally the highest landmark building in the local area, gathers the aura of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and is commonly known as "Wenbi Peak". Tengwang Pavilion is located on the shore of Ganshui, known as "water pen" by the ancients, there are ancients Yiyun: "Seeking wealth and longevity palace, seeking blessing Tengwang Pavilion". It can be seen that the Tengwang Pavilion occupies a sacred position in the hearts of the world.

In other words, Tengwang Pavilion has the role of Wenfeng Pagoda and Wenchang Pavilion, which are common in various places. At the same time, the Tengwang Pavilion is also a place to store scriptures and historical classics in ancient times, which is an ancient library in a sense. This is by no means comparable to a vulgar place like Yueyang Tower (the predecessor of Yueyang Tower is rumored to be Lu Su Yuejun Tower). As for the Yellow Crane Tower, it is just a hotel owned by the Xin family, which is not remarkable (according to the "Ji En Lu").

In addition, on the Chongyang Day in the second year of the Tang Dynasty (675), Wang Bo went to the grand event to make the "Autumn Denghong Mansion Tengwang Pavilion Farewell Preface" (referred to as "Tengwang Pavilion Preface"), which became a popular masterpiece through the ages. The prologue is shocking, and the preface through the ages is like the sun and the moon, illuminating the Hongdu Qili. The autumn water is long, the sunset is lonely, and the shadow of the pond is long. Xiongzhou Juncai, this is completely a period of "the name of the pavilion, the pavilion to the legend" of the historical story, Yuzhang prosperous calendar.

Subsequently, Wang Zhongshu wrote "The Legend of King Teng", Wang Xu wrote "The Pavilion of King Teng", and Han Yu wrote "The Story of King Teng's Pavilion". Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, Wen Tianxiang in the Song Dynasty; Yu Ji of the Yuan Dynasty; In the Qing Dynasty, Qian Qianyi, Chen Hongxu, Xiong Wenju and other hundreds of literati and scholars wrote poems and essays for it; Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also set up a banquet pavilion and ordered the ministers and literati to write poems and lyrics and watch the lights. Ming Tang Xianzu also staged his famous work "Peony Pavilion" in Tengwang Pavilion. The name of the text is prosperous, and it is the first of the pavilions in the sea.

Third, it is magnificent. This is actually related to being noble. Li Yuanying, the king of Nateng, was arrogant and lascivious, misbehaved, and had no political achievements at all. But he is proficient in singing and dancing, good at painting butterflies, and has a great artistic talent. He built the Tengwang Pavilion for the needs of singing and dancing. In short, a Prince Charming who is very good at enjoyment. Since it is not bad for money, the pavilion built is naturally beautiful and extravagant. - Although Fang Zhongyong really didn't think that a three- or four-story wooden building had any luxury.

According to the "Tian Lai Pavilion" old collection of the Song Dynasty court painting "Tengwang Pavilion" painted, the main pavilion of Tengwang Pavilion is a structure of three bright and seven dark, that is, from the outside it is a three-story building with a cloister, while the interior has seven floors. When the Tengwang Pavilion was rebuilt in later generations, it was based on this.
