Qin 'an City is a small town, a pleasant and warm town, surrounded by mountains, and the Hulu River passes by the city. Living in this city, I always hear the cries of selling bean jelly and tofu every morning. That long and soothing voice always makes people feel warm as spring. It was in this kind of hawking that I finished washing, got on my bike, crossed the alley, crossed Jiefang Road and went to the new road. Then stop your bike by the side of the road and go to chili pepper noodle restaurant in Gaoda 'er to eat a bowl of chili pepper noodles. As long as they are from Qin 'an, everyone knows that Gao Daer's chili pepper noodles are the best. Chili pepper noodle restaurant is actually not rich. At first, I was at the crossroads, and later I moved to the downstairs of Jianqin Garden on Xinma Road. There are several bright black long tables and benches in the restaurant, and the kitchen is separated by wood. There is a long line of people eating, and Master Gao's family of four are inside. Anyone who has eaten chili pepper noodles knows that Master Gao has a bright eye, and whoever comes first knows clearly. He always comes first, then comes first, and gives it to you. Chili pepper noodles are actually machine noodles, mixed with some chili pepper, sprinkled with chopped green onion and a little vinegar. This bowl of chili pepper noodles is the favorite of Qin 'an people. No matter their position or wealth, they always eat a bowl of food every few days. When you eat, you will always meet the leaders of the county bureau and businessmen with great wealth. They are very conscious and will not jump the queue. They only eat in the order of first come, first served. After dinner, they go to work and set up stalls in business.
Qin' an county is small. The east of the city is Dadong Mountain, the west of the city is Xichuan, and the south of the city is Gejiabao Yunshan, and the north of Sanli is Caidian. The east of the city is backed by Fengshan, and there are temples on the mountain, which are built on the mountain, with cornices and arches, pavilions and winding. Standing at the top of the east mountain, Fengshan looks like a phoenix flying with wings, overlooking the whole county. There is a square in the city. In the north of the square is the county museum, which used to be a four-story building. Later, it was moved to a four-story building. The most famous Prajna Hall in it is a civil building in the Yuan Dynasty, with a magnificent momentum, and the plaque of "Prajna" on it is hung. The most distinctive street is Shangguan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Street in the south of the city, about 3 meters long, is an ancient street left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is a road paved with bluestone in the street, which crosses the street from east to west. The road is paved with scarlet wooden doors on both sides. Under the sunshine, the colorful flags flying on the doorframes in many-hued tell people that it was bustling in the past. When you are in it, it's like going back to that era when people are buzzing, things are rich and people are crowded. Close to Shangguan is Nanguan, with deep Gu Xiang and old eaves and blue tiles. Jiuguai Lane, the longest Gu Xiang in Qin 'an, is located in Nanjiaguan. It is like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, telling the prosperity of the ancient city in the afterglow of the sunset.
Qin' an county is not big, but it is the favorite place of Qin' an people. If Qin An is compared to a book, this book has both a heavy history and a wonderful story. The protagonist of the story is the outstanding children of Qin An from generation to generation.
It is often said that Beijing is seen in 3, years, Xi 'an in 5, years and Qin 'an in 8, years. The 8,-year history of Qin 'an is mainly the Dadiwan site excavated in Qin 'an. Speaking of the Dadiwan site, it was the Yangshao cultural site excavated in the 197s, in Shaodian Village, Wuying Town, Qin 'an County. From 78 years ago to 5 years ago, the site has a history of about 3 years, and a large number of bones and pottery have been unearthed. The most famous is the human head vase, which is a girl-like pottery vase. It is a national treasure cultural relic, elegant and beautiful, and is now collected in Gansu Provincial Museum in absolute beauty. Of course, the most shocking thing is the F91 Hall in the ruins. The Great Hall is the remains of a large-scale primitive palace-style building, with a structure of "front hall and back room, east and west wing rooms", covering an area of 42 square meters. It is the largest building site found in the Dadiwan site and the largest original building found so far in the Neolithic Age in China. Dadiwan is an important origin of Chinese civilization and the first light of Chinese civilization in China.
I remember Li Xueqin, a professor in Tsinghua, said that if the history of China is compared to a stage, Qin An is like the back curtain of this stage, and from time to time, several figures who have influenced the history of China pop up. Starting from the legendary Fuxi Nuwa, Li Guang, a flying general in Han Dynasty, Fu Jian, the former emperor of Qin Dynasty, Quan Deyu, the prime minister in Tang Dynasty, Hu Maozong, the governor of Henan and Shandong Province in Ming Dynasty, An Weijun in man of iron in Gansu Province in Qing Dynasty, and so on.
The story of Li Guang, a flying general, was known by Chinese people and praised by scholars of past dynasties along with Sima Qian's Biography of General Li in Historical Records. For example, Tang Wang Changling said, "But make the Dragon City fly, and don't teach Humadu to spend the Yinshan Mountain", Tang Gaoshi said, "yet in speaking of the rigours of warfare on the desert, we name to this day Li, the great General, who lived long ago", and Tang Wangbo said, "Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is difficult to seal", and so on. In the minds of China people, he is a model of a generation of heroes.
Fu Jian, the former emperor of Qin Dynasty, was called the "Five Great China" by Bai Yang, a famous scholar in Taiwan Province. In the aspect of culture and administration, he appointed talented people, put an end to his troops, set up schools, rectified official management, and encouraged farming. At one time, the former Qin State was politically clear, people were quiet, and production developed, which led to a rare prosperity. In terms of martial arts, the east attacked the former Yan, the north replaced the country, sent troops to Yang Tuo, and the south forced the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with great martial arts. Although he was defeated in the end, his lofty position in the history of China cannot be denied. After his death, he was affirmed and praised by many figures such as Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Dongpo and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Quan Deyu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was born in an official family. He was smart since childhood. At the age of three, he was able to read four tones. At the age of four, he was able to compose poems. At the age of fifteen, he had hundreds of articles and made great achievements in literature. He was an important representative of the Taige style in the middle Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan both devoted themselves to writing under his door. All their lives were ups and downs, and they were officials to prime ministers. After their death, they were buried in their hometown, and Han Yu, a great writer, wrote the Tombstone of Tang Dynasty's Ancient Xiang Quan Gong for them. Among them, "Three Hundred Tang Poems" includes one of his poems "Yutai Style", and the poem goes: last night my girdle came undone, and this morning a luck-beetle flew over my bed. So here are my paints and here are my powders, and a welcome for my yoke again. Qin 'an people who have good deeds are verified to be from Quanyao Village, Wangyin Township, Qin 'an County. I have also heard that the tombstone written by Han Yu has been unearthed, but I have always heard of it and have not seen it with my own eyes. I would like to quote it.
After the Yuan Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, another figure with good official voice, folk voice and literary voice appeared in Qin 'an, and Ming Zhengde was a scholar for three years. He was born in Hujiaxiang, Qin 'an County. He is intelligent and eager to learn. It is said that he lost his mother when he was young. His stepmother was very strict with him, and he was not allowed to study at night, for fear of wasting lamp oil. His sister secretly swallowed clear oil every night and spit it into an oil lamp for him to study at night. In such an environment, he studied hard and finally entered the high school. He traveled many places in his life, including judges in Jiading, magistrates in Anqing and Suzhou, and governors in Shandong and Henan. During his tenure, he was a clear official, with outstanding achievements and prominent official voice. After retiring from office and returning to Li, he started to write books, and many works have been handed down from generation to generation, such as Collection of Birds, Rats and Mountain People, Annals of Anqing, Annals of Suzhou, Annals of Qinzhou and Annals of Qin. He is also a great calligrapher, known as "Yan Lugong's second", and he is famous in big letters. He is full of vigor and vitality, leaving behind the plaques of Zhenjiang in Jiangsu Province, Baotu Spring in Jinan, Shandong Province, Golden Sound and Jade Zhen in Qufu Confucius Temple, and Harmony with Heaven and Earth in Tianshui Fuxi Temple, and so on. Dare to set up a plaque in Confucius Temple, which shows that his calligraphy attainments are profound. During his stay in Jiangnan, he had contacts with the four great talents in Jiangnan, especially Tang Bohu and Wen Zhiming, whose anecdotes are still circulating. In Qin 'an, there are still four hanging screens of his bamboo carving "Poems of the Early Dynasty" in the house of Hu's descendants. It is not easy to get its rubbings.
In the Qing Dynasty, An Weijun, a man of iron in Longshang, was born again. He is a native of Shenmingchuan, Qin 'an County (now farmer's village, Xichuan Town, Qin 'an County). As the first provincial examination in Gansu after the Shaanxi-Gansu sub-examination, An Weijun was the censor of Fujian Road in Douchayuan. On the eve of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, in the face of national peril and regardless of personal safety, he wrote a letter to remonstrate, and in fourteen months, he continued to dredge 65 channels, the most famous of which was "Please punish Li Hongzhang for dredging". In "Please Punish Li Hongzhang", he exposed Li Hongzhang's traitorous acts, such as relying on foreign countries to respect himself, doing wrong, and helping Japanese thieves. He also denounced empress dowager cixi's authoritarian and wrong behavior in his recital. Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and wanted to punish him severely. Emperor Guangxu tried his best to protect him, so he escaped death and was dismissed and sent to Zhangjiakou. Now that I think about it, I admire man of iron's spirit, which is courageous, firm and dedicated to the country. He is an outstanding representative of outstanding Qin 'an people. In today's Qin 'an, someone spontaneously built a memorial hall for An Weijun to express their infinite respect for the sages.
In addition to the above historical celebrities, in fact, you may not know that in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Guo He, a native of Qin 'an, went to Hexi as a disciple with thousands of books, which made great contributions to preserving the blood of Chinese culture during the troubled times in the North and South. Even though Li Taibai, a poet, has been away from his ancestral home for a long time, he still remembers that he is from Qin 'an. He said in "The Book of Jingzhou with Han Dynasty", "White, Longxi Cloth".
the history of 8, years has given Qin 'an people great confidence and strength. There is a joke that shows that Qin 'an people are proud of history. It is said that a bureau in the county once received the leaders of the provincial capital, and it is customary to propose a toast. The director raised his glass and said, we have a rule to propose a toast in Qin 'an, and we should propose a toast to eight cups. Provincial leaders don't understand, why so many? Just two glasses! The director said that Qin 'an has a history of 8, years, with one cup in the Millennium and eight cups in * * *. The provincial leader is a cultural figure. When he heard this, he was very satisfied and readily promised, saying that today we will drink cultural wine and gulp down eight glasses of wine, which is heroic and dry. From this story, you must have read the confidence and pride of Qin 'an people.
In terms of geography, more than 95% of Qin 'an is mountainous, and all of them are mountainous except the county town, Yangwuchuan and Qingshuihe River basin. In the words of a foreign leader who once worked in Qin 'an, Qin 'an is a pile of loess and people. It is this group of people who created the legend of the arid areas in the west.
In the early days of reform and opening up, everything was in a hurry, and Qin 'an people went to Tibet, Xinjiang, Sichuan and even went abroad. They used their shoulders to pick out a new world, which in turn led to the development and growth of the national civilized market-Qin 'an Western Commodity City. In fact, outsiders' understanding of Qin 'an people is more through business transactions. In their eyes, Qin 'an people can endure hardships, talk and earn money the most. An ordinary Qin 'an man can support his family by selling a load of pockmarked seeds.
outsiders also call Qin' an people Qin' an ghosts. Maybe it has something to do with the developed business. When Qin 'an people talk, they always say half and leave half, leaving half for others to guess. If you are a group of Qin 'an people, you can basically know what you want to say with your mouth open, but for outsiders, it feels like a ghost. They don't understand, so why not make it clear?
the greatest trait of Qin' an people is hard-working, humiliation and humility, and low-key and pragmatic. There are many things that bear hardships and stand hard work. An ordinary Qin' an person, with dozens of dollars, can go out and travel. Growing up with me, after graduating from junior high school, I borrowed 2 yuan from a classmate who was a teacher and went to Tibet alone to make a living. He is not afraid of the lack of oxygen in the plateau, the cold snow area, overcoming the difficulties of life and the long-term loneliness in his heart. With his indomitable will, he just takes root on the plateau. During his twenty years in Tibet, he became the general agent of a well-known brand of mineral water, with hundreds of millions of net worth, creating the myth of getting rich from scratch. There are many such people in Qin 'an. Look at the 1,-acre Taoyuan on the top of Liuping Mountain, and the apple and pepper orchards in Zheng Chuan, Guo Jia and Weidian. They are all planted by hardworking Qin 'an people with their hands, and each fruit condenses the sweat of Qin 'an people. There is also an army of accompanying students all over Qin 'an County. No matter how difficult the family is, they always try their best to send their children to a good university and change their fate through reading. Many Qin 'an people have become university professors, presidents, famous artists, business ladies and political stars through reading. In them, there are hard-working genes flowing. In addition to hard work and hard work, the most important quality of Qin' an people is humiliation and humility. This quality may stem from the profundity of traditional culture. Qin 'an people seldom quarrel and are kind. If someone is found quarreling in the street, someone will definitely clap their shoulders and say, forget it, young man, you don't care, you go. If you ignore it and keep arguing, many people will come and persuade you to leave. So many people say, in this case, how can you still have the strength to quarrel? Just leave. Brothers and sisters, neighbors, and colleagues in the unit generally give each other humility and live in harmony. In Qin 'an people's minds, anything, take a step back and broaden the horizon. In addition, Qin Anren is famous for his low-key pragmatism. On the street, one who wears a Ma Xie and a straw hat may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and one who chats with you may be a provincial leader, a professor and a great artist. With Qin 'an people, you never know how big and deep his heart is.
soil and water support one person. The land of Qin 'an has also produced a national intangible project "Qin 'an Old Tune", a wonderful literary work. According to legend, "Qin 'an Old Tune" was a folk art brought in from Jiangnan when Hu Maozong was in office in the Ming Dynasty. After that, Qin 'an people who loved music continued to improve it and sang it to this day. The style of the old tune is dignified and elegant, and there is no rough wind in the northwest. On the contrary, it has a little more graceful and graceful charm in the south of the Yangtze River, which is slow, long and continuous, like a stream in a mountain stream, intermittent, if there is nothing. It is said that a famous poet felt that Qin An, like the old tune Kunqu Opera, was a Yue Xian on earth. Such a high evaluation has made Qin' an people feel more proud. No matter in urban or rural areas, Qin 'an people will always be in groups of three or five, cooking a cup of tea, surrounding a small square table, knocking on the cymbals and opening their mouths to sing "Qin 'an Old Tune". In the thick moonlit night, in the afternoon in Xu Lai, in the snowy night, accompanied by the melody of Sanxian and Erhu, they sing their lives into the same old tune, high or low, light or heavy, and what troubles and tiredness of work have long been forgotten! In the eyes of Qin 'an people, how can life lack the old-fashioned singing?
There are also some people in Qin 'an who dance with shell sticks after work. In a flash, the wind blows with a stick, like a dragon and snake entering the country, and ordinary life is a little more exciting. According to legend, it was Qin 'an's family with a high surname who rescued a monk who was in trouble. In order to repay his life, the monk taught the skill of the shell stick. According to martial arts experts, the shell stick is changeable, simple and practical, in line with actual combat, and it is a treasure of Chinese martial arts. Qin 'an people are also proud of it.
when I wrote this, I suddenly remembered a bowl of steaming shredded belly soup, a corner of hemp-covered cake, a peach that was so sweet that it was full of honey, and a crisp melon with white sense. Every taste is the taste of hometown, and it is the taste of happiness created by the hands of the villagers. Stop writing!
