brief introduction

Qujiang Liuyin

In the forest of Steles in Xi'an, there is a piece of stele carved in 1680 (the 19th year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty). The poem depicts one of the eight sceneries of Chang'an at that time

It's very beautiful.

Qujiang is located in the southern suburb of Xi'an City, adjacent to the Dayan Pagoda in the north, about 5 kilometers away from the city. It is a magnificent and beautiful open garden in Han and Tang Dynasties. On both sides of the Qujiang lake, there are cloud terrace pavilions, palaces and pavilions, which make Qujiang's various flowers and plants compete with the natural scenery in the four seasons. On the basis of natural beauty, it adds a bit of humanistic beauty. "The weather is new on March 3. There are many beautiful people at the water side of Chang'an." Every spring and autumn equinox and important festivals, the city's royal nobles, dignitaries and dignitaries will bring their families here to enjoy, bottles and bottles of wine, Sheng song and painting boats, feast on Qujiang water. The beautiful environment and rich humanistic atmosphere also attracted a large number of literati to write poems and paint.

In the south of Chang'an City in Tang Dynasty, there are many places of interest with "Qu", which means "corner" in ancient Chinese. "Corner" from "Fu", that is, earth mountain, landscape curved corner. Wei, Du two Qu more noble villas, Tang luantai Shi Lang Wei Anshi villa back garden is located here. Du Qu lived in Shaoling, ten li east of Weiqu, where Du Fu, the poet saint, once lived. His name "Shaoling Yelao" came from.

In the imperial examination of selecting officials by Tang government, the Jinshi examination was the most difficult one. In addition to passing the national written examination held by the Ministry of rites every spring, we have to go through several tests before embarking on the official career. It is the so-called "thirty old Mingjing, fifty less Jinshi", which shows the difficulty. "No one is allowed to come every year, and the flowers in the Apricot Garden in Qujiang are not allowed to come." once the Juzi are in the middle of the class, they naturally have to celebrate such a great event that is related to personal and family honor and disgrace. The form of celebration is the Qujiang meeting, also known as the Qujiang banquet. Because the banquet is usually held in a pavilion on the Bank of Qujiang River in Xingyuan, it is also called "Xingyuan banquet".

Every Shangsi day (March 3 of the lunar calendar), just after the official release of the list of new Jinshi in Tang Dynasty, I go on an outing to enjoy the sunshine of spring in the grass color of mid spring. Every time the new Jinshi always take advantage of the fun here, put the cup on the plate, put the plate on the stream, and follow the water. According to the ancient custom of "Qushui Liuqi", the person who has the wine cup flowing before will hold the cup and drink freely, and write poems on the spot. The people will evaluate the poems, which is called "Qujiang Liuyin".

Later, the "Apricot Garden banquet" gradually evolved into a "literary gathering" for literati to recite poems. During the event, a series of interesting cultural and recreational activities were held at the same time, which attracted people from all over the country to watch. And "Qujiang Liuyin" is a very elegant way of "literary gathering".

According to the records of the whole Tang poetry, the great poets Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Li Shangyin, Zhang Ji, Yuan Zhen, Liu Yuxi, Wei Yingwu, Wen Tingyun, Lu Zhaolin and so on all visited Qujiang, leaving a lot of popular and beautiful poems. It is said that Wang Xizhi and his friends were in the "Qushui Liuqi" in Lanting, Zhejiang Province, where they enjoyed a wine banquet and wrote a lot of books.

In Prince Gong's residence in Beijing, you can see the whole process and rules of the game. Prince Gong's mansion is the most complete one among more than 60 existing Qing Dynasty palaces in Beijing. There is a pavilion called "Liubei" in the southeast of "jubaochi" in the garden. There are curved grooves on the ground inside the pavilion and several plantains outside. When the rain falls like a pearl, and the sound of rain beating banana, people sit in the pavilion. The rain slowly flows through the stone trough in the pavilion. A wooden tray is built in the stone trough, and a glass of wine is built in the plate. Where the glass stops, and who should drink and write poems, the artistic conception is really wonderful.

The Tang Dynasty's inclusiveness also created the Tang Dynasty's resurgence, and Chang'an became an international metropolis. There are many restaurants run by Hushang and Fanke in the western regions around Qujiang lake. According to research, most of the Hu people who settled in Chang'an city at that time made a living by selling wine and food. The hotel's solicitors are all women from western regions - "Hu Ji". These hotels operate famous western region wines, such as Gaochang's "wine", Persia's "Sanle pulp" and "Longgao wine". "Where are you going? Laugh into Hu Ji's restaurant. The literati of Tang Dynasty can not only drink the jade liquor from all over the world, but also enjoy the graceful songs and dances from the western regions. It can be seen that the literati of Tang Dynasty had a good life!

Today's Qujiang area is surrounded by a huge group of antique buildings. When you are in the pavilions, corridors and pavilions, you can hear music and dancing from time to time. You can still dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, which makes you feel as if you are separated from the rest of the world.
