Anecdotes of characters

About 40 years

In the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, about 200 years ago, Liang Zhangju, a man from Fuzhou who became a feudal official, and Liang Zhangju, who had been a good scholar for three years, suddenly went back to his hometown on leave for 10 years. During this period, he went to Pucheng, a remote county in Western Fujian Province to preside over the lecture of Nanpu Academy. Once, he visited Wuyi nearby. After returning to Pucheng, he visited his teacher, Mr. zufangzhai Shangshu. It happened that Mr. zufangzhai had just visited Wuyi. In the chat, Mr. Zu said that when he was in Wuyi Mountain, he spent the night at Tianyou temple. He once dreamed that he was flying from Tianyou peak to Yandang, "the dream is very strange.". Mr. Zu asked Liang Zhangju, "can you discipline it for me?" What Mr. Zu means is that he has never been to Yandang. He hopes his students can describe the real scene of Yandang and confirm his dream. At that time, Liang Zhangju never swam in Yandang, but he promised to go there. It happened that Mr. Zu had two Yandang Mountain records on his desk, so he borrowed them to read them. He was very happy when he read them.

At that time, Liang Zhangju was only in his early 30s. However, when he really came to practice Yandang's appointment, it was the 28th year of Daoguang (1848). In a flash of more than 40 years, he had become an old man and retired for a long time. In the 27th year of Daoguang's reign, Liang Gongchen, his third son, who served as a magistrate in Wenzhou, welcomed him to Wenzhou and built a drama hall for him following the story of Zhao Qing's father and son in Song Dynasty. During his stay in Wenzhou, Liang Zhangju wrote a lot of works, among which there are many records about Wenzhou in Langji congtan, xutan and Santan.

In Wenzhou, Yandang is not far away.

In the spring of the 28th year of Daoguang, Cai Qi, a native of Anqing, the county magistrate of Yueqing, wrote a letter to invite Liang Zhangju, a respected man and his own teacher, to visit Yandang. Liang Zhangju was the master of CAI Weixin, the governor of Liuzhou, Cai Qi's father. Cai Qi served Liang as a late student. This apprentice sun knows how to be filial to his teacher. Zeng Yi wrote two poems about the dried fragrant fish produced in Shimen pond of Yandang Mountain. With Cai Qi as host and tour guide, Liang Zhangju is happy to visit Yandang in March of the lunar calendar. Accompanied by his two sons, Feng Mao, the painter in the screen, and Liao Shoupeng, the Wei Shou mansion in Wenzhou. A group of people along the Oujiang River downstream to Guantou, and then sit Jianyu to Yueqing county to meet Cai Qi. On the 24th, the county was stagnated due to rain. On the morning of the 25th, I left for lunch in Hongqiao, passed yaoaoling, and stayed in Furong Village in the evening. On the morning of the 26th, you will cross danfangling to the West Inner Valley, you will visit Nengren temple and dalongqiu, and in the afternoon, you will cross MaAnLing to the East Inner Valley, you will visit Lingyan and Jingming. When they had dinner in Jingming temple, they discussed about the inscription of Leshi. On the 27th, you will visit Lingfeng, xiegongling, Shiliang cave in the East. At noon, you will arrive at Dajing and live in the garrison. On the 28th, I got up in the morning, followed Baixi, Qingjiang and Hongqiao, and returned to Yueqing County in the evening. 29 along the original road back to Wenzhou.

Liang Zhangju's trip to the wild goose took 7 days. It was only 2 days in the mountains. From the West Valley to the East Valley, the essence of the Yandang Mountain was swallowed by two spirits and one dragon. The 74 year old man was rarely in high spirits. In his diary on the 26th, he wrote about the scene of climbing the dragon's nose Cave: "all my friends ascended from the moss and talc, Jia Yong. I also helped him to pick his clothes, and forced him to follow. I was really exhausted and couldn't help it. More than ten years later, it began to reach its broadness.... " The image of the old man struggling to climb the mountain is very vivid.

Maybe the scenery of Yandang Mountain is too eye-catching. Mr. Liang was greedy of the scenery all the way and forgot to write poems. When he got home, his daughter and daughter-in-law asked him for poetry, but he didn't answer. It turns out that Liang's family was elegant, and her eldest daughter Liang LAN Province in Wenzhou and her third daughter-in-law Wan Hui could all write poems. Conscious of shame, Liang Zhangju wrote in his diary: "looking back on the famous mountains in his life, there are many poems about them. Only when Yandang doesn't leave a word, the mountain spirit laughs at my aging. It's a song of growing up. It's not about the scenery, but about the events. The speaker says, "the rest of the poems are about mountain tours." The old man felt that if he didn't write a poem for Yandang, he would not be able to account to his family, and he was even more sorry for Yandang Mountain, for fear that the mountain god would scoff at his aging. So he wrote a seven character poem. The so-called "forbidden style" is not to do according to the routine (mountain poetry rather than scenery). In Poetry
