Back to 80: My Literary Life

"Me? I'm here with Chairman Lu, and by the way, I'm going to write some prose travel notes or something." Fang Minghua told the truth.

"Prose travelogue? Is it like Jia Pingwa's "The First Record of Shangzhou"?" Cui Xinting immediately thought of something and sighed:

"I have to say that Jia Pingwa is a genius. Their Shangzhou is such a broken place. I have been there a few years ago, and it was even poorer and more isolated than our Tianhan. If it weren't for his "Shangzhou Chulu", there would be another person Do you know Shangzhou?”

Everyone couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Indeed, an article called "The First Record of Shangzhou" made Jia Pingwa famous in the literary world, and many people also know Shangzhou.

Fang Minghua took Cui Xinting's words and said: "Commissioner Cui, Chairman Jia's "The First Record of Shangzhou" is certainly well written, but I think the article highlights the characteristics of our Tianhan."

"What's the feature?"

"Cultural relics from the ruins of the Two Han and Three Kingdoms! It is not only a cultural relic, but also history and culture! The humanistic value behind these things left by our ancestors should be written down in detail!"

"Chairman Fang, can you give me an example?" Cui Xinting put down his chopsticks and asked.

"For example, the "Gun Xue" written by Cao Cao we are looking at today can think of "Three Caos", "Seven Sons of Jian'an", and "The Character of Jian'an". Some people call it the "Awakening Age" of Chinese literature. Connecting these points, it is not Is it just a good piece of prose? "

"Oh, Chairman Fang, your prose writing technique is different from traditional prose." Cui Xinting exclaimed.

"It's a little different. I call it cultural prose." Fang Minghua explained: "It is mainly the tracing, thinking and reflection of Chinese culture and Chinese history."

Cui Xinting listened very seriously. When Fang Minghua finished speaking, he immediately said: "It was so good. It really opened my eyes. I will definitely read it carefully after you finish it."

The three of them continued their journey to Tianhan and visited an aviation factory.

The Tianhan area is a famous third-tier area, with dozens of aviation companies dotted throughout the basin. Once you understand it, like the 631 company where my sister works, the efficiency is relatively poor.

Of course, we also visited Zhang Qian’s tomb and the historical monuments of Wumenyan.

This was the first time Fang Minghua heard about ancient water conservancy projects like Wumenyan.

It is in a place called Baoyuan in the north of the ancient suburb of the city.

As a group of people entered, Fang Minghua was surprised that it was quite big inside. Entering the third and fourth courtyards, there were more than 30 Ming and Qing ancient buildings such as Taibai Tower, Guanyin Pavilion, Wangjiang Tower, Stele Pavilion, and Official Room. There were also many ancient buildings outside. Fang Minghua discovered that the oldest stele was from the Shaoxing period of the Song Dynasty (Song Gaozong). However, due to the washing of the years and the turbulent era that we had just experienced, these inscriptions were incomplete, and many of them were obviously just glued on with cement.

There are no monks living inside, but there is an old man named Yang, who is responsible for guarding the entrance of the weir. He said that this temple is dedicated to commemorating the original repairer of the Wumen Weir, a man named Tang Gongfang in the Han Dynasty.

He pointed to the five holes at the mouth of the weir, which were being filled with water. He smiled and said don't underestimate this project. It was first built in the Han Dynasty and was mainly used for water diversion and flood discharge. It has been repaired in the past dynasties and is still functioning today.

Isn't this the smaller version of Dujiangyan...

Fang Minghua understood immediately.

After hearing this, Uncle Yang laughed and said that Baoyuan area had outstanding people. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many great achievements and many people served as officials in the imperial court. It was a famous scholarly place.

"For example, in the Meridian Weir, the construction of public houses in the Han and Tang Dynasties began. In the 10th year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty, the "Approval of Tang Gong Chai's Apportionment of Money by Mu" is specifically recorded. And return to the river. "According to the records of the Meridian Weir Monument and the "Chenggu County Chronicle", there have been many celebrities who built weirs in the past dynasties, such as the sages who built weirs: in addition to Tang Gong, there were also Xue Keguang in the Song Dynasty; Pu Yong in the Yuan Dynasty; Hao Sheng, Qiao Qifeng, etc. in the Ming Dynasty; Gao Dengming and others; Mao Jike in the Qing Dynasty..."

Uncle Yang named many ancient names in one breath, but it was a pity that Fang Minghua had never heard of many of them.

"The Monument of Immortal Tang Gongfang" erected during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty contains: "Tang Gongfang served as a county official in the second year of his stay in Xinmang (7 AD). He met a real person, his whole family was promoted to immortality, and one person attained the Tao. Chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. This is where the idiom comes from." Come. "Uncle Yang finally said.

Is this really happening? Fang Minghua and others were surprised.

"Of course, it's just a historical legend. Our Tianhan region has a long history and culture, especially during the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. There are many relics. It's a pity that no one has publicized it and written it down." Uncle Yang was quite regretful.

"Lao Yang, you don't have to sigh, this Comrade Fang Minghua is preparing for the humanities and history of Tianhan, so I brought him here to have a look." The deputy county magistrate of Hu in Chenggu who spoke.

Whichever county Fang Minghua and the others go to, a county leader will accompany them.

"Really? Writer Fang, then you must include Wumenyan!" Uncle Yang was surprised and delighted.

After visiting Wumenyan, they accepted a banquet hosted by the local county leaders at the county guest house. In the afternoon, Fang Minghua and the others returned to the urban administration guest house. It was already dark, and he was just about to take a shower and rest when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He went to open the door and saw a tall and burly man standing at the door.

"Director Wu!"

"Chairman Fang!"

It turned out to be Wu Jianye, the director of Chenggu Winery.

After the two shook hands, Fang Minghua asked Wu Jianye to enter the room, poured a cup of Longjing tea that he had brought, and the two started chatting.

"Chairman Fang, when did you come to Tianhan?" Wu Jianye asked.

"I've been here for a week, and I'm going to go back to Xijing tomorrow." Fang Minghua told the truth.

"Look at you, you came to Tianhan without telling me? Fortunately, I learned about this news today and drove here immediately. It would have been too late if I had been a little later." Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Director Wu, you are now the head of the factory, and there are so many things to do. I don't have anything serious to do in Tianhan, so I just took a look around. I trouble you to see me in the middle of the night." Fang Minghua said.

"Hey, your coming here is a big deal! I have to thank you very much. Since the broadcast of "Desire", there has been an endless stream of people coming to our factory to conduct research and order wine. Chenggu Special Qu has finally squeezed into Yanjing City. It's not easy." Wu Jianye said with emotion.

"It's mainly because your wine quality is good." Fang Minghua said.

"The quality of the wine is good, but publicity and promotion are also important. Chairman Fang, I have thought about it. If Shengshi Film and Television continues to shoot TV series, our winery will also advertise!"

"What a coincidence. We are now planning to shoot a TV series, which is an adaptation of Chairman Lu's "Ordinary World."

"It's great that "Ordinary World" is going to be made into a TV series! This book is so touching. It must be good to shoot! I will contact Mr. Song tomorrow to advertise!"

Yes. The TV series has not started shooting yet, and someone has already bought advertising space.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Wu Jianye asked again, "I heard from County Magistrate Hu that you are here to visit and investigate some enterprises this time?"

"That's mainly Lu Yao, Chairman Lu, I just came here to have fun." Fang Minghua replied with a smile.

"Then please be sure to visit our winery tomorrow! Which room does Chairman Lu live in? I'll go and invite him!"

There was no choice, Fang Minghua had to take Wu Jianye to the room next door where Lu Yao lived.

Lu Yao was also a straightforward person. Seeing that Fang Minghua and Wu Jianye had a good relationship, he agreed.

What does it matter if you go back a day later or a day earlier?

It was not difficult to write about one more company.

Xu Yue had no objection.

He promoted his "Chinese and Foreign Documentary Literature" magazine along the way. No matter what, his reputation was spread!

At night, Wu Jianye did not return to the county town, but stayed in the guesthouse with his driver, preparing to return with Fang Minghua the next morning.

The next day, Wu Jianye asked Fang Minghua and the other two to take their car back to Chenggu. This time, the city leaders did not accompany them.

However, when they arrived in the county, the county magistrate Hu still accompanied the two to visit the winery and various workshops. At noon, the county leaders hosted a banquet at the county guesthouse to entertain them.

Fang Minghua was drunk all the way.

After dinner, he rested in the county guesthouse.

Fortunately, at Fang Minghua's strong request, no drinking was done in the evening, but activities were prepared after dinner.

Dancing!

"Chairman Fang, Chairman Lu, Chairman Xu, let's not go to the dance halls in society, they are too chaotic! Let's go to the guesthouse, there is a ready-made dance hall here, find a few waiters to dance with you for a few songs, it will help you digest your food." County Magistrate Hu said.

Okay

Everywhere we go, we drink and dance.
