Who were the famous ladies in Yangzhou in ancient times?
Mo Chounv is famous for his songs and dances. "Rong Zhai Essay" said: "Mochow is from Shicheng, Yunzhou. Now there are painters telling stories about looks in Mochou Village and sending them to four places. " Mo Chounv, found in official history, originated from ancient Yuefu, Shicheng music and Mochow music. The book of the Tang Dynasty: Shicheng was written by Zang Zhi in the Song Dynasty. "Shicheng is in Jingling County and tastes like Jingling County. Looking out from the city, I saw a group of young people singing smoothly and made this song. " Mochow Music is from Shicheng Music. There is a woman named Mochow in Quartz Clock City who is good at folk songs. Music and Shicheng harmony have the sound of' Mochow', so the song says: Where is Mochow? Mochow rowed two oars to urge Mochow to come to the west of the stone city. In the winter of the 11th year of Tian Jian (5 12), Liang Wudi changed "traditional opera" to Mo Chounv in Shicheng, also known as Manle, sixteen old dancers and eight beams. Many legends and stories of Mo Chounv also spread from the Western Chu to the Eastern Wu. In Zhongxiang, Mochou Village, Mochou Lake and Mochou Ferry were left behind. Wang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in Ji Sheng in the Ground: "In Mochou Village, west of the Han River, peach blossoms are in full bloom, flowers fall in late spring, and flowing water is fragrant. Zhongxiang county recorded in the article. Monuments "contains:" Mochou Village is located in Haner Lane. The ancient Han River runs through the city, and to the west is Mochow's village. There is a lake in the north, adjacent to the village, called Mochou Lake. "For thousands of years, these places of interest have always been a good place for literati to pay their respects and visit. The village where Mo Chounv lived was not originally called Mochou Village. Because peach blossoms bloom every year and are as red as clouds, people are used to calling them Peach Blossom Village. Mochou Lake adjacent to Mochou Village was called Canglang Lake in ancient history. Taohua Village faces the Baixue Building on the nose cliff of Ximen Ferry in Zhongying Shicheng and Yangchuntai in the east of the building across the river, and the Canglang Three Lakes in the north of the city are adjacent to the village across the river.
Mo Chounv's father, Lu Gong, made a living by ferrying on the Han River, and his mother planted peaches in the village. On a stormy day in the early years of King Xiang of Chu, Mo Chounv was born in a cabin on the river bank ferry at the head of Taohua Village. She was crying all the time when she was born. Qi Huangong hugged her and coaxed her: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't be sad, don't be sad, don't worry, don't worry!" Hearing the word "Mochow", her crying suddenly stopped. So Duke Lu named her Mochow. "Goldfinches scratch their heads and are born to be called Mochow." (Ning) Miss Mochow walks in the wind and rain, drinking the water from the Han River and eating the grain from Taohua Village. Sometimes they pick ling and lotus with their sisters in the blue waves of Canglang Lake, sometimes they go to town to sell peaches with their parents, sometimes they play in rivers and lakes, and sometimes they learn singing and dancing in Yangchuntai and Baixuelou. She has a sweet and crisp voice and should be able to learn all kinds of songs now.
When she was fifteen or sixteen, she was like a lotus in Canglang Lake, thin and slim, with dimples and smiling lips. The face is like a fragrant lotus petal, white and red; Actions like the wind send colorful clouds, light and elegant; Golden voice sings jade, clothes dance sleeves spit rainbow. Lotus pouch is full of good breath, and the river is full of jade. With the guidance and help of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, Mo Chounv turned the past into the future and absorbed the joy of Chu Ci. After the great pianist Liu, he completed the chorus of the solo classic Spring and Snow. Mo Chounv's reputation for singing and dancing spread to the palace of the King of Chu, who recruited her to be a singer and dancer and exiled her fiance, Wang Xiangge, an oriental neighbor, to Yangzhou. The ground of Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Zhong Ying. Brother Xiang will really go somewhere. The ancient "Mochou Le" describes the sad scene of Mo Chounv's tears farewell to Wang Xiangge by the Han River: "Huan Wen went down to Yangzhou to bid farewell to Chu Shantou, stretched out his hand and looked around his waist, and the river could not stop flowing!" Mo Chounv couldn't take off his clothes because of the heavy snow in the Hanshui River. She watched the boat carrying Brother Xiang go away, and plunged into the Han River in Baixuelou with anger!
In order to commemorate her, people renamed Taohua Village Mochou Village, Canglang Lake Mochou Lake, and the place where she boarded the boat under the snowy mountain was named Mochou Ferry. "Don't be sad when you are sad, but be happy when you are apart." Qu Yuan's Nine Songs. Legend has it that Mo Chounv didn't actually die. She was rescued by fishermen in the Han River. She tried hard to find the trace of Qu Yuan and her brother Wang Xiangge, who wandered around the Jianghu without a trace, and really returned to the people. "Mochow Music" sings: "Every family welcomes Mochow, and everyone says Mochow, Mochow songs, just printed on their hearts!" Later generations chanted poems and songs about Mo Chounv, Mochou Village, Mochou Lake, Mochou Ferry, Yangchuntai and Baixuelou for thousands of years, which vividly recorded Mo Chounv's deeds. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin wrote: "Who is the flower in the snow? There are ten thousand Mei Xue. " If there is no boat in Shicheng, Mochow will have her own troubles. Gu Shi: "Shicheng used to be Mochow's hometown, and Mochow's soul scattered in the desert of Shicheng. When sailing, the wind was wide, and flowers blossomed and the spring was sad. "Wang Wangshi:" Mochou Township at Canglang Ferry is full of cold smoke and frost. Be careful to make you stay and get drunk in the sunset. Zhou Mi's Apricot Flowers in Song Dynasty. Fu's "Mochow" said: "Rui Yunpan, Cui invaded Fang's forehead; My eyebrows are tender and I can't help worrying. Who dyes the Dongfeng pen and writes the color of Spring Festival? After people go, hang Yang Zibi; I dreamed of singing and dancing, but I couldn't find any trace. "Sorrow with two oars, north and south, Shicheng dusk wind blowing wildly. Wang Ming said in a poem, "If you lean on a white-nosed pot and cross a peach blossom, you can visit Mochow's house before asking." Qing Dynasty poem: "Mochou Lake in the west of Shicheng, who said that women were land in those days?" "Worry about Mochou Lake, worry about Mochou." Li Su's poem "Looking at Peach Blossoms in Mochou Village" in the Qing Dynasty: "The beauty of the South China is Mochou, who has been in the Zhou Dynasty until now, and the soul can't rest in the spring breeze, and the peach blossoms are scattered."
Poetry is sung, and people and places remain fragrant. Just like Yangchuntai, Baixuelou, the elegant famous song "Yangchun Baixue", Song Yu, Mochou Village, Mochou Lake and Mochou Ferry, together with Mo Chounv, they are famous throughout the ages. In those days, the Han River flowed near Stone Town in Zhong Ying. Mochou Lake in those days was a thousand acres of blue waves. With the changes of the times, the Hanjiang River moved five miles away from the city. Mochou Lake has also undergone corresponding changes. "The country in the world is sick" contains: "The old Hanshui road forced into the county seat, in the early years of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty. The new flood went around the east side of the mountain bay and reached the city. " "Zhong Xiang county annals. Yu Fang said: "After the tomb was revealed, Shizong of Ming Dynasty was puzzled by the theory of geomantic omen, blocked Aokou and forced the Hanshui River to move south. Aoshui has gone from Han to Mochou Lake. " Mochou Lake, which once straddled the east and west banks of the Han River, and Mochou Village, where peach blossoms were in full bloom, are now on the east bank of the Han River. Wenji Town, located on the west bank of Hanshui River, still retains the old customs of Chu, not only along the Taolin River, but also inherits the totem dance "Phoenix Dance" of Chu. On the other hand, Mochou Lake was reclaimed from the lake. Over time, only a piece of clear water with an area of about 2 square kilometers and a storage capacity of about10 million cubic meters is left. Modern cotton mills and waterworks have been built on the ancient Hanjiang Road after reclamation. The girls in the factory-the new generation in Mo Chounv-are actively contributing their youth to the construction of the motherland and showing their vigorous charm. The northeast of Mochow's source is the Ming Xian Mausoleum, the 5th tomb of Ming Dynasty in China, where nine winding rivers are connected with the lake. Every spring and March, the peach blossoms by the lake are more prosperous; In summer and autumn, girls are in droves, washing and singing in the lake, and picking ling and lotus. There are willows along the coast of Hunan, with beautiful scenery. Fishing in my spare time is very interesting. Zhongxiang Municipal People's Government listed the development of Mochou Lake Park as a key project in urban construction planning. In the future, Mochou Lake will have greener water, brighter flowers and more beautiful scenery, attracting more tourists and visitors from all directions!
