Chapter 6 Wenzhou: a long and graceful memory

Wenzhou is a bit wronged. Let me compare it with Suzhou. If the Xinhe Avenue and Chanhe Avenue in the urban area were not filled in this way, and the Xinhe and Chanhe Streets were still long, Wenzhou would be known as the Oriental Water City or Venice. It is more worthy of its name than Suzhou.In the current Yongchang Fort, there is still a river in front of the house.Two years ago, the hasty trip to Wenzhou was really delicious food. I went to taste Ou cuisine and visit Yandang Mountain, and then brought back many memories of Wenzhou. It was also the first time I got to know Wenzhou. Now Jingdong is reading a book "Memories of Wenzhou", which reminds me of the history and customs of Lucheng, and I still visit Wenzhou again

thought.Brother Shao Guo's easy-going and kindness, Brother Qu Wei's frankness and straightforwardness, and Brother Shao Yi's simplicity and sincerity completely created a new concept of Wenzhou people in my mind. "Memory of Wenzhou" is a new prose book by Qu Wei, published by Chengdu Times Publishing House.I have read Qu Wei's prose collection "Traveler and Dream", and I feel that it is a poetic prose. Qu Wei is a poet, and he looks exactly like the Russian poet Pushkin. It is to look at people clearly.However, the writing style of "Memory of Wenzhou" has turned around, blowing through the wind of ancient Ou every now and then, leading people into Wenzhou in the life of a Wenzhou poet.

I feel that Qu Wei has a lingering old Ou complex in his heart, including brother Shao Guo. They live in a very complicated modern economic society, and they have accumulated quite a deep ancient Ou culture in their hearts, which is full of foreign civilizations. Boying, it is deeply felt that they live in the south of the south, and their spirits are intertwined in the distant time and contemporary life.Wenzhou was also the place where Song Gaozong Zhao Gou temporarily lived. At the foot of Yandang Mountain, which is far away and sky-high, this city has woven the beauty of a city outside the world.Therefore, a mountain, a well, a building, or a person that Qu Wei wrote always has a faint charm of ancient Ou.The beauty of Wenzhou is difficult to extend in short sentences. It is only said that Xie Lingyun served as the magistrate in Yongjia Prefecture for two years and spent a year writing poems. It can be proved that he has become the originator of Chinese landscape poetry. I always feel that Qu Wei is inadvertently writing bits and pieces of Wenzhou that he has experienced and read.The peaceful and distant mood, the simple and innocent mind, are the cultural imprints of Wenzhou city in Qu Wei's writings. I especially remember that when I was drinking in the "farm courtyard" in Nanbaixiang, I drank raw head and old wine man Talk about the ancient Ou style.

In my opinion, reading "Memories of Wenzhou" can get closer to a city in a more real and pure way, like the first time I heard names such as Zimeiyu (small yellow croaker), Bailu (dried fish), and midge, It's like suddenly falling into a new world. In this world, only people like Qu Wei who were born and raised here, and who have traveled around the world can grasp the brush truly and delicately.In terms of food in Wenzhou, Qu Wei also recorded that steamed buns are called steamed buns, while steamed buns are called solid buns, and peas are called broad beans, and broad beans are called peas.The small details, the coherent details of Wenzhou, really need to be explored by the eyes of a poet like Qu Wei, and a strong local charm is brewed.

"Memories of Wenzhou" has many old photos attached to it, and the eyes touch the Yongchang Fort and Jiangxin Islet, as well as the famous couplet of the gate of Jiangxin Temple: the tide is long and long, long and long, long and long, and the clouds are chasing and chasing. Chao Chao scattered.This door couplet is in the world of Qingjiang, which is "green and delicate, and the Qingjiang River", and it seems to have also printed all the things in the world.Qu Weiyou writes down the grand events in Wenzhou during the Northern Song and Southern Song Dynasties twice. The ministers supported the prosperity of King Yi and King Guang against Yuan Dynasty.It is true that Wenzhou welcomed many literati and famous ministers in that long time, such as Wen Tianxiang during the Anti-Yuan period.That Xu Xiake, as well as Du Fu's father Du Shenyan, are all left here.These bits and pieces were originally passed down from generation to generation on the reputation of Wenzhou literati, and now Qu Wei reads it leisurely on pen and paper.The long clear waves of the Nanxi River, the vastness of the Oujiang River, and the unique scenery above the Lucheng City are transformed in Qu Wei's words. It is said that Qu Wei's graceful description of a city and its history can be regarded as the wandering of Wenzhou. The fog cleared away lightly, and I saw a very real place, it was in the south, between the mainland and the sea, and this city was also popular for reading.
