For those who like to travel, Athens, Greece always attracts tourists from all over the world with her absolute charm, making them crazy and worship her. We know that ancient Athens was not only a powerful city-state, a world-famous cultural city, but also the birthplace of philosophy. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and other famous philosophers, politicians and writers were born or lived in Athens, so Athens is called "the cradle of western civilization" and the birthplace of democracy. Today's Xuzhou, China, as one of Kyushu in China, the birthplace of Chinese culture and Buddhism in China, is not only known as "the hometown of Peng Zu, the hometown of Liu Bang and the hometown of Xiang Yu", but also known as "Athens of the East" because of its rich cultural heritage, historical relics and profound historical background. Xuzhou, the emperor of the Nine Dynasties, was called "Pengcheng" in ancient times. It is the key to the north, the gateway to the south, a battleground for military strategists and a gathering place for businessmen, and occupies an important position in Chinese territory. She is the capital of Chiyou, Huangdi, Peng, Xu, Song and Chu. Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Li Bian, a martyr in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liu Yu and Song Wudi in the Southern Dynasties, and Zhu Wen, the great ancestor of the Later Liang Dynasty, were all from Xuzhou. Since its inception in Xuzhou, it has been known as the "Nine Emperors Xuzhou Family" in ancient times, and it has been a famous imperial capital of China for thousands of years. Of course, if you want to talk about the famous emperor in Xuzhou, you have to mention Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although I am not particularly good at dancing and writing, for personal reasons, I have always liked him, and I also like the poems that the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty always had. I have to say a few words when I walked into Xuzhou today. As a feudal emperor, Li Yu was born in the palace and grew up in the hands of women. Perhaps it was his "noble" birth that made him lose the pleasure of enjoying "grassroots". Even if he is brilliant, good at painting, good at poetry and knows rhythm, even if his poetry and prose are highly accomplished, many works are regarded as "masterpieces". What can they be? For various reasons, Li Yu may not be a good emperor in the eyes of future generations, but he is a good poet. I like his poems and love him even more. According to the history books, he "forgave, intimidated and avoided killing sexually." After his death, Jiangnan people heard that "crying all over the lane is fasting." His successor, Zhou Xiao, was also heartbroken and soon died with him. I didn't intend to fight for power and profit, but I longed for seclusion. Ascending to the throne was a complete accident. Merits and demerits have become a historical track. The closer I get to Xuzhou, the more complicated my heart is. What kind of understanding is this and what kind of helplessness is it? The emperor is like this, isn't everyone in our life like this? Entering Xuzhou, a city with a heavy history, we can better understand the smallness of people's livelihood, the hardships of life, the wonderful life and the fearless death. Antique is still driving into Xuzhou in Pengcheng today, still immersed in history. When my friend saw that I was a little depressed, he greeted me with concern: Is it acclimatized? I responded with a smile. If nothing happened, I told my friends about Li Yu in detail. Fortunately, he is also a "hardcore" history fan. After dinner, we met and chatted together in the cupboard of a small book bar. It turns out that Xuzhou, formerly known as Pengcheng, has a history of civilization of more than 6,000 years. Its city-building history can be traced back to the Da Peng State established by Emperor Yao more than 4,000 years ago. Pengcheng, the earliest city in Jiangsu Province, was written in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, 573 BC. During the flood control in Xiaxia, the national territory was divided into Kyushu, and Xuzhou was one of them. At that time, "Xuzhou" was just the name of a natural economic region, and Pengcheng became the central city of this region. Pengcheng was named after the establishment of Pengguo in Peng Zu during the Yaodi period. Of course, it is also recognized as the birthplace of Peng's surname in the world. Xuzhou, as the birthplace of Chinese food culture and health-preserving culture, has left many precious Peng Zu food culture, health-preserving culture and other heritages. According to legend, Peng Zu, the founder of Dapeng Kingdom, lived 800 years and was the founder of cooking and qigong in China. This is a great encouragement for people who like qigong. Peng Zu's charm for China is the same as Plato's charm for Greece. He has a great influence in the history of China. Peng Zu was once admired by Confucius and regarded as one of the founders by Taoism. The essence of Peng Zu's health-preserving culture is "medicine and food are homologous, and health-preserving is based on food", and massage beauty technology is also popular all over the world, with the introduction of Peng Zu as the earliest source. Its diet health preservation has played a very important role in the formation and development of China culture in the future. Speaking of funny things, the two smiled at each other. The next day, we visited the splendid cultural relics of Peng Zu in Xuzhou, and it was very enjoyable to meet an old friend in another country. Ten miles of light shines in Xuzhou, and at night I ask my friends if Xuzhou has a place to go. I think I have been deeply attracted by this city, and that charm is embedded in my bones. Seeing that I like this city so much, as a native of Xuzhou, my friends are full of pride. "Let's go to Hanqiao, it's not far." I have always had no objection to my friends' suggestions, especially those about Xuzhou. Peng Zu's charm for China is the same as Plato's charm for Greece. He has a great influence in the history of China. Peng Zu was once admired by Confucius and regarded as one of the founders by Taoism. The essence of Peng Zu's health-preserving culture is "medicine and food are homologous, and health-preserving is based on food", and massage beauty technology is also popular all over the world, with the introduction of Peng Zu as the earliest source. Its diet health preservation has played a very important role in the formation and development of China culture in the future. Speaking of funny things, the two smiled at each other. The next day, we visited the splendid cultural relics of Peng Zu in Xuzhou, and it was very enjoyable to meet an old friend in another country. All the way to Hanqiao, standing on the Hanqiao, blowing the wind in early winter, it was a little cold, and people were more awake. At night, when the lights are on, the banks of Hanqiao Bridge are brightly lit, and a prosperous modern metropolis stands proudly on the bank of Huaihai. I think Xuzhou is not the "Pengcheng" of that year. "Ten-mile-long lamp ..." Yes, that is the ten-mile-long lamp, which has passed away or has passed away, and is displayed before our eyes like a movie. Ancient, modern, western or eastern, gains and losses are concentrated and spread here. "Beauty is hard to know, someone will know", "Qin Tang sees Xi 'an, Ming and Qing Dynasties sees Jinghua, and Han Dynasty sees Xuzhou". At the same time, Xuzhou is also the hometown of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and the Dahan Dynasty, the first powerful and lasting feudal empire in China history, started from here and stepped onto the historical stage. The powerful Han Dynasty was far away from the Western Roman Empire and became the two most powerful empires in the world at that time. Oriental Athens really deserves its reputation! The connection between ancient and modern is seamless. I was deeply attracted by it as soon as I entered the city. I missed it and stayed for her. Today, I still use this exciting Chinese to express my deep affection. Whether it is the Han nationality or the main body of our Chinese family, whether we write Chinese characters or speak Chinese, it is related to this dynasty. The word "Han" has already melted into the blood of hundreds of millions of China people and become the most striking totem of a nation.
