Youzijia: Youzishan, the symbol of Gaochun. According to legend, when Confucius traveled around the world, he climbed this mountain, hence the name. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the governors of all countries didn't take Zhou seriously, and there was chaos in the world. One saint couldn't sit still. He is Confucius, the greatest thinker in ancient China. As a result, he resigned as the judicial chief executive and acting prime minister of Lu, and traveled around the world with a group of disciples to publicize his whole set of political ideas for restoring the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty. But at that time, big countries were busy competing for hegemony, small countries were in danger of being annexed, and the whole society was undergoing major changes. Of course, his idea is hard to accept. Confucius has been to Weiguo, Cao, Song, Zheng, Chen and Cai. In 489 BC, he came to Chu. By then, Wu Chu's hegemony had ended. A few years ago, He Lv, the king of Wu, was killed by Vietnamese arrows when he conquered Yue. From then on, Wu transferred all the resentment to Yue, and started the 22-year dispute over wuyue. Chu thought it was a good opportunity to revive its hegemony, so it sat quietly and took the opportunity to expand its power eastward. As a result, Gaochun once again became the border of Wu Chu. When Confucius first arrived in Chu, King Zhao of Chu originally planned to seal off 700-mile territory and return his household registration to him. When I found that Confucius' idea was completely different from my own, I changed my mind immediately. Confucius doesn't care either. He will continue to travel eastward until he reaches the border of Wu Chu and sees with his own eyes the crimes committed by "traitors and traitors" for their own selfish interests. Confucius and his disciples, with the help of King Zhao of Chu, crossed the great river and followed the ancient road of Xiaodanyang when Wu Zixu left Zhaoguan. From west to east, I came to Gaochun. Gaochun area at that time was not a remote place. When Wu Chu competed for hegemony, Xiao Danyang and Zhu Fang Ancient Road were opened for military needs. Starting from Gugucheng, a burnt-out military town in Wu Zixu, you can go to Yang Xiaodan, Jiangning County in the northwest. Northeast can reach Zhu Fang, south of Zhenjiang and Dantu. And three points can be connected into a line for chariots to gallop. In addition, the waterway has Zhongjiang crossing the whole territory. Due to years of war, Gaochun area is sparsely populated and there are no bones left. Confucius could not help sighing all the way when he saw that the fertile land was uncultivated and the rich water surface was uninhabited. After a large area of water and plain, he found a mountain in front of him, so he took his disciples to explore. This mountain is today's tourist mountain, which was called Liangshan at that time, also called Mianshan. Confucius climbed from the south slope to the top of the mountain. I found that this mountain is not as magnificent and colorful as Mount Tai in his hometown, but it also looks very delicate. The trees are green, the birds are singing sweetly, and the blue sky and white clouds are refreshing. Confucius' eyes turned to the foot of the mountain, and when he saw this fertile and barren land of water, a feeling of loss and desolation came to his mind. In the state of Chu, there was a man who pretended to be crazy and sold stupidity, and his name was Jie Ao. He once sang to Confucius and said, Phoenix, Phoenix, why don't your ethics be taken seriously? The past is irreparable, and the future can be pursued. Forget it, forget it, there are no politicians who advocate ethics now! Confucius suddenly felt old and useless. He couldn't stop the rich and powerful people from fighting for power and profit, so he had the idea of wandering home. In the autumn of his death, Confucius began to return to Shandong. Later, Confucius began to write Spring and Autumn Annals. In the Spring and Autumn Annals, Confucius did not recognize Dongwu and Chu to the west of Gaochun as princes, but called them viscount. Sima Qian explained in Historical Records: Confucius did this to make all traitors and traitors in the world feel fear. As a result of Confucius' trip, later generations renamed Liangshan as Youzishan, meaning that wanderers are homesick. Until today, people still describe Gaochun people with strong local consciousness as "crying when they can't see the mountains." Wanshoutai: The oldest platform in Gaochun is Wanshoutai in Yuan Dynasty; Yang Qiang Mulian Opera in Gaochun originated in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and occupied a place in various ancient operas in China. Gaochun's oldest stage is called Wanshou stage. It is located in Liujialong Village, about five miles south of Gucheng Town. It was built in the first year of Yanyou in Yuan Dynasty, namely 13 14. Because of its long history, it is also known as the stage of ten thousand years. Gao Chun's opera art originated in the Song Dynasty. At the beginning, there was only Nanqu, that is, the rhyme was the southern language, the music was pentatonic, accompanied by Xiao Di, and the tone was soft and euphemistic. Later, with a large number of immigrants from the north crossing the south to avoid chaos, it brought the Northern Song Dynasty. Beiqu corresponds to Nanqu, with strong and simple tone and seven tones of music. The Yuan Dynasty was the heyday of China's traditional opera art, and the famous Dou Eyuan and The Romance of the West Chamber were all produced at that time. Accordingly, the operas in Gaochun area have evolved from Nanqu and Beiqu to Yuan Zaju with music, song and dance movements and chanting. This is a relatively mature form of drama. The Yuan Dynasty abolished the imperial examination system and implemented the policy of ethnic differences, which divided people into four classes. Gao Chun was the "southerner" with the lowest status. As a result, some scholars, especially the descendants of powerful people who crossed the south to avoid chaos, lost the opportunity to seek fame. As a result, they turned their energy to playing, playing and singing, and became semi-professional artists and drama lovers. Some literate monks and Taoists also joined the ranks, thus setting off the climax of Gaochun's ancient drama. At that time, singing opera on the stage of farming or festivals, especially in bumper years, has gradually become a folk custom. Because Gaochun's Yang Qiang Mulian Opera preached feudal superstition and karma, it gradually declined. However, due to its unique style, it has always been regarded as one of the topics to study the origin of China opera by opera experts. Wanshou Stage, which began in Yuan Dynasty, has been rebuilt and repaired many times, but due to its age, many sculptures and decorations have been seriously damaged, and the appearance of the stage still exists, and it was listed as a county-level protected cultural relic in 1984. When you step onto this ancient stage, you can still imagine the grand occasion of drama performances and temple fairs. White boating: Li Bai, a great poet, was "put into the mountains" by Emperor Tang Ming, and the landscape around Gaochun made the poet sigh. Li Bai is a great poet in China. At the age of 42, he was called into the palace by Emperor Tang Ming to draft letters and lyrics for Yang Guifei. Before the emperor, the powerful eunuch Gao Lishi was asked to take off his boots. Later, he resigned and left Chang 'an because he didn't want to "ruin his eyebrows and serve the dignitaries". The poet traveled all over China. From the autumn of 753 to the winter of 756, I lived in Dangtu for three years and often went boating in Gaochun, Liyang and Xuanzhou. The scenery here makes the poet linger and sigh. Gao Chun's Dancing Poems on Danyang Lake was written by him during this period. At that time, ancient Liyang was divided into Liyang and Lishui counties. Gaochun and Lishui are a county, which was once located in Hua Kai, near Chengnan Village, Gulong Township today. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society. In Gaochun area, the population has greatly increased. In the eastern hilly areas, not only wheat and soybeans are planted, but also buckwheat, which is native to the north of the Great Wall. Mulberry planting and sericulture, which was originally limited to the Yellow River valley, also began to develop here. The western region is a land of "rice flowing with fat and lotus root fragrance", which is rich in fish, shrimp and waterfowl. Farmland farming is generally changed from direct plough to curved plough. Peasant women wear shirts on top and skirts on the bottom, and red is the most popular. At that time, Danyang Lake bypassed 300 miles. The original Xilian Township, Hu Dan Township, Cangxi Township and Lion Tree all belong to Danyang Lake in the water season. Because there are lotus roots everywhere in this area, the locals also call Danyang Lake Xilian Lake. Li Bai's poem "You Gao Chun Dan Yang Lake" was written in the early autumn of 755 AD, that is, the year when the "An Shi Rebellion" began in the north. Li Bai devoted himself to Hanlin for three years and was well aware of the corruption in the court. He compared Yang Guifei to da ji in Snow Poems as Friends a few years ago, expecting chaos in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The cynicism in the poet's character made him abandon what he thought was secular and turn to mountains and rivers. The midsummer is over, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the poet is boating on Danyang Lake from west to east. The sky is particularly high, the lake is intoxicating blue, and the blue waves beat the boat as if they could feel everything moving. Far away, like a veil, hazy, is there a fairy there? Suddenly, a small white sail appeared in the sky. It turns out that this is a merchant ship returning. The poet recited this charming and magnificent lake scene: the lake and vitality are moving, and the storm is endless. Jia Ke returned from the sky and the sea of clouds set sail. This ship took the poet to the east, maybe the present Hu Dan town. Green lotus leaves cover the lake side by side, and white reed flowers add a gentle and elegant scenery to Lianhua Lake. There was a slight noise nearby, and the turtle that had climbed the lotus leaf accidentally fell into the water. A flock of birds passed by and got into the reeds, making a chirping sound. The air belongs to My Sweetie, and the surrounding area is quiet again. Suddenly, there was a crisp and pleasant fishing song and a dish-like laughter of jade beads in the distance. A group of lotus picking girls in red skirts are boating in the vast lotus color like fairies. Being in this scene has revived Li Bai's poem-the turtle swims in the lotus leaf and the bird stays in the reed flower. The girl rowed a canoe and sang water. Li Bai, a great poet, sang the surging Yangtze River and the roaring Yellow River all his life, which was poetic and vigorous. However, "Poem on Dancing in Danyang Lake in Gaochun" is both heroic and tender. The upper and lower strokes are relaxed and flexible, giving people a feeling of ups and downs. Among the poems about the lake since ancient times, it is a masterpiece. The beautiful scenery around Gaochun moistened the pen and ink of this great poet. Shortly after Gao Chun's Dancing Poem on Danyang Lake was written, the story of a girl who played a dancer deeply shocked the poet's heart. Li Bai, contrary to his previous cynicism, threw himself ambitiously into the struggle to quell the Anshi Rebellion.
