The atmosphere in the house is abnormal, the outside of the house is unbearably hot, in front of the house and behind the house, the frogs are constantly sounding, and the autumn girl on the tree is also singing, it doesn't know how many people in the world are happy and how many people are looking, but if it can fly down and go to the window to see the sadness of the young man in the house, it will be clear.

Jin Yuan is sad, Jin Yuan has no way to live, Zhang Quanyou will find a way, Ji Tiangang finished speaking, Zhao Youfan continued to speak, by the way, continue to talk, attract his attention, let him change his mind a little bit, Zhao Youfan continued, continued; Repeating the preface, in September of the following year, Xiang Yu raised troops against Qin on the spot. The soldiers he raised were all collected by his guests and disciples in Wucheng and from nearby counties, that is, the so-called 8,000 "Jiangdong disciples". The troop number is "Wucheng Bing", and Wucheng is Huzhou. After raising the army, the city was built in the north of Xiahu City, this is Xiangwang City, and the soldiers are stationed in Benshan, Huzhou. ”

When Zhao Youfan talked about this, he deliberately asked Jin Yuandao; "Brother Jin Yuan, you just mentioned that your family used to live on the edge of the Overlord Well, do you know, that well is a sacred well dug by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and the water in that well is cold and sweet, not to mention, just say that no matter how much rain it rains, the water in the well will not rise, no matter how dry it is, the water in that well will not drop at all, from this point of view, I said that it is a divine well, but is it right?"

Zhao Youfan deliberately asked a rhetorical question at the end of the sentence, the purpose was to let Jin Yuan continue to talk to them, and sure enough, hearing Zhao Youfan's question, Jin Yuan seemed to have forgotten his worries and troubles, and immediately replied; "As Mr. said, our people in Huzhou City are still willing to drink the well water in Xiangwangjing, take my family as an example, although we moved out of Xiangwangjing, but we still insist on going to which well to drink water."

When Jin Yuan said this, he seemed to be very interested in the topic of his hometown, and he continued to ask Ji Tian; "It seems that sir, you are well-versed in the past and the present, and you dare to ask Mr. your surname."

Before Ji Tian answered, Zhang Quanyou was busy introducing; "This gentleman is a well-known doctor in this county, his surname is Ji, a single name is a heavenly character, he was originally invited by the county magistrate to teach in the county, and now Ding Wei is at home to keep filial piety, today for your business, I specially invited this gentleman to talk to you, and this Mr. Zhao, who is also a learned person in the county, is here for you!"

After listening to Zhang Quanyou's words, Jin Yuan was deeply moved, he hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands into fists, bowed to Ji Tian and Zhao Youfan, and said; "Under the stupidity, disturbed the three, it really shouldn't be, it really shouldn't, I think I also went to Huzhou for a few years to study, I don't dare to say that I am a well-educated person, but I also know that I learned that Shu Dali, just today's things, put on the younger generation, it is really unbearable, I am also helpless, I thought of becoming a monk, to die to thank my relatives."

Ji Tian heard Jin Yuan say what was in his heart, he felt that the time had come, and immediately interjected and asked him; "Look at you, a later life, have read books, and are smart and clever, willing to endure hardships, and want to get rich in business, this is a good thing, although there are setbacks at the moment, but have you thought of the meaning of the phrase "more frustration and braver"?"

After listening to Ji Tian's question, Jin Yuan returned to reality, he sighed and said; "If you think about it carefully, I also understand some big truths, but once you put it on yourself, it will make people breathless."

At this time, Zhang Quanyou lost no time in interjecting a sentence; "With all of us here, you can get by in the big ravine, and if you can't breathe, we will help you take this breath."

Ji Tian saw that Zhang Quanyou had made it clear that he wanted to help Jin Yuan, and felt that he still had to continue to enlighten him so that he could accept help happily, so Ji Tian took advantage of Jin Yuan's pondering the meaning of Zhang Quanyou's words, and asked a question unhurriedly, and saw him look at Jin Yuan's face and said; "Since you are a scholar, then I will boldly ask you a question, may I ask you, what was the name of your Huzhou City in the past?"

Faced with Ji Tian's question, Jin Yuan was stunned at first, and after a while, he replied; "I read the book that Huzhou has a long history, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chu Chun Shenjun Huang Xiexi sealed here, built a city here, named 'Hucheng.' ”

Ji Tian then asked; "Why is it called Hucheng?"

"This!" Jin Yuan couldn't answer for a while, Ji Tian said; "Come to think of it, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty used the power of the whole country to dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and this Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the east and west Tiaoxi from the foothills of Tianmu Mountain in your Huzhou territory run through the entire territory of Huzhou. Tiaoxi flows into the Huangpu River in the east through the page pond, and flows into the vast Taihu Lake through 56 Ligang in the north, and the water system in the territory is as dense as a spider web, intertwined together, forming a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, can it be like this! ”

Faced with Ji Tian's inducement, Jin Yuan nodded yes.

Ji Tian is erudite and knowledgeable, and when he talks about the mountains and rivers of Huzhou, he is also gushing, maybe it is to arouse Jin Yuan's thoughts about his hometown, or because he wants to ignite Jin Yuan's feelings for his hometown father, he said so much in one breath, and still did not mean to stop, so he listened to him and then deliberately said to Jin Yuan; "If you want to say that you Huzhou, that is the land of fish and rice, the originator of silkworm raising, according to legend, the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor Yuan Concubine still learned the method of raising silkworms from you, and promoted it to the whole world, therefore, Huzhou's silk armor world, the future child, you are not proud of being born in Huzhou, why should you be pessimistic and misanthropic?"

After listening to Ji Tian's praise of Huzhou, Jin Yuan was excited for a while, and he grabbed Ji Tian's words and called him first; "Teacher Ji!"

Wait until the day counts; "Please."

Ji Tian immediately spoke; "All of you here, if you want to say that the mountains and rivers of our Huzhou, in addition to Tianmu Mountain and Longwang Mountain, there is Tiaoxi, which is also known as Yuyan Creek, which is an important tributary of the Taihu Lake Basin, composed of two Tiaoxi Creeks in the east and west, because the size of these two streams is imitating, our locals call them Sister Creeks;

Dongtiaoxi, the locals also call her Longxi, Qiuxi, Yubuxi, the upper source is composed of three tributaries in the south, middle and north, and Nantiaoxi is the positive source. The source is the southern foot of Pingdingshan in the north of East Tianmu Mountain, the south flows to the east, and after meeting with the middle and north Tiaoxi, it flows to the bottle cellar called Dongtiaoxi.

Xitiaoxi, from the bottle cellar below to the whole village, there is Anxi on the left, to Deqing County, there are Xiangxi and Yuyingxi on the right to flow into Deqing to Huzhou, and there is Daixi in the middle, our hometown is really densely covered with water network, silkworm trees are all over the place, every busy time, every family reels silk, every household weaves silk, presumably at this time, my grandma must be weaving silk. ”

Jin Yuan said such a long paragraph, and then let out a long breath, Ji Tian and Zhang Quanyou, Zhao Youfan secretly observed, and found that Jin Yuan seemed to spit out the Yu Lei in his chest, Ji Tian in order to strike while the iron was hot, and then said; "Your Huzhou is still the origin of the lake pen. We've heard for a long time that 'Hu Ying's skills are the best in the world.' ’”

Speaking of this, Ji Tian stopped talking, but looked at Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan was hearing Xing's head, he asked unconsciously; "Teacher Ji, what is Ying?"

Ji Tian explained; "Ying, refers to the tip of the tip of the pen a piece of Qi and transparent Fengying, the pen maker called the sunspot, think that year, the Qin Dynasty famous general Meng Tian came to Huzhou Shanlian, made a major reform of the brush, 'Ying in the tube', the pen hair into the bamboo tube, to improve the brush with the pillar method, this invention was completed in Huzhou, therefore, Meng Tian was respected as the ancestor of the pen industry by the Huzhou pen makers, you Huzhou where the author, every family worships Meng Tian, four o'clock on the incense tribute, never cut off the incense."

Ji Tian's research aroused Zhao Youfan's interest in speaking, and he took it impatiently and said; "Huzhou's tea culture not only spread throughout the eighty-eight counties of Kyushu, but also across the sea, eastward to Fuso, the first to bring Chinese Tiantai mountain tea seeds to Japan, sown in the foothills of Kyoto Hiei Mountain is Japan's most Cheng monk, the next year, only one year apart, Japan's Kukai monk brought back tea seeds from Huzhou, dedicated to Emperor Saga. Under the initiative of the emperor, the Huzhou cake and tea brewing method was carried forward during the Honghito period of Japan, forming the 'Hongren tea style'.

Then, it spread to the west to the Persian countries, from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period, Huzhou tea has become a tribute tea, so far you still have a tea tribute house in Huzhou, every year by the local officials to select the good rain tea to the imperial court, this is the folk widely spread Tugong,

In Huzhou, there is also a kind of tribute roasting, which is the high-quality tea planted and roasted in Huzhou by the imperial court, I remember that Zhang Wengui once wrote the poem "Huzhou Tribute Roasted New Tea": "Feng Yuan is looking for spring and half drunk, and Xian'e enters the water and the curtain opens." The peony flower smiled and moved, and the purple bamboo shoots from Huzhou were played. The 'Huzhou purple bamboo shoots' in the poem refers to the purple bamboo shoots tribute tea of Huzhou Changxing Gu Zhu Mountain. ”

Some rhetoric, it shows Zhao Youfan's erudition and wide memory, there are students like this, how can the teacher be willing to bow down, Zhao Youfan's argument has just been finished, Ji Tian said; According to rumors, in the area of Tianmu Mountain in Huzhou, in the mountain stream where no one is, there is a strange tea called cactus tea, the famous poet monk, tea monk Jiaoran once mentioned this tea in his tea poems, but unfortunately, I don't have time to go to Tianmu Mountain in person, otherwise, it will be a very interesting story. ”

As soon as Ji Tian's words fell, Jin Yuan asked with interest; "Teacher Ji, you haven't told me yet, why did our Huzhou be called Hucheng in the past?"

When Ji Tian heard the news and knew that Jin Yuan had changed his mind, he replied; "Where do you have rivers and lakes, on the edge of rivers, lakes and harbors, and in the wetlands, there are many wild grasses, it is because you have a lot of wild grasses, so Chu Shenjun named this city Hucheng after building the city, and changed the Hucheng to Wucheng in the Qin Dynasty. When he arrived in Eastern Wu, he changed Wucheng to Wuxing County, until the previous dynasty, he was placed in the state, and because this place was close to Taihu Lake and was named Huzhou, that is to say, the name of Huzhou was not called for a long time. ”

Ji Tian and Zhao Youfan were wordy, and they talked for a long time, all in order to divert Jin Yuan's thoughts, this kung fu, seeing that Jin Yuan was almost like ordinary people, Zhang Quanyou felt that the time was almost up, so he coughed and said slowly; "Since the two well-educated people have said Huzhou so well, I wonder if they have ever been to Huzhou?"

After listening to Zhang Quanyou's question, Ji Tian understood in his heart that Zhang Quanyou wanted to send Jin Yuan home, so he said truthfully; "Don't look at me for a long time, it seems that I am very familiar with it, in fact, I have never been to Huzhou, to be honest, even if I am very familiar with Huzhou, but! I, a person of filial piety, have not left the cemetery until the three-year period has expired. ”
