Follow the 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion' to visit the Old Drunkard's Pavilion

Old Drunkard's Pavilion, located in Langya Mountain, Chuzhou, Anhui, is one of the four famous pavilions in the world, alongside Aiwan Pavilion on Yuelu Mountain, Taoran Pavilion in Beijing, and Huxin Pavilion on West Lake. The 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion' in our middle school textbooks introduced us to the Old Drunkard's Pavilion, just as Wang Bo's 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng' has forever etched the Pavilion of Prince Teng in our memories. Today, let us follow Ouyang Xiu's 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion' and embark on a journey to the Old Drunkard's Pavilion. Travel from Shanghai to Langya Mountain in Chuzhou is extremely convenient. I chose to stay in Nanjing for this trip, with the goal of visiting Ma'anshan Caishiji and Chuzhou Old Drunkard's Pavilion. The high-speed train from Shanghai to Nanjing South, and I settled in a hotel near the train station. The high-speed train from Nanjing South to Ma'anshan and Chuzhou takes only about ten minutes, arriving in a blink of an eye. The train to Chuzhou generally arrives at Chuzhou North Station, and from there you can take the local bus route 11. Chuzhou, as described at the beginning of the 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion': 'Surrounded by mountains all around Chuzhou.' After getting off the bus and following the signs, I entered the mountain path. Indeed, as soon as I saw it, I was struck by the beauty of the 'forests and ravines, looking lush and deeply elegant, that is Langya'. Photo 2, inscribed by the former Chairman of the People's Congress, Qiao Shi: Langya Mountain. Photos 3-5, 'After walking six or seven li, gradually hearing the sound of water, babbling and flowing out between two peaks, that is Rang Spring.' Photos 6-18, entering the core area of Langya Mountain scenic spot. 'As the path winds around the mountain, there stands a pavilion, gracefully overlooking the spring, that is the Old Drunkard's Pavilion.' Photo 6, the winding path gatehouse. Passing through the gatehouse, the core area of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion unfolds before our eyes. Ouyang Xiu, after being suppressed by the court and exiled to Chuzhou, would often come to Langya Mountain to play, drink, and sing with like-minded locals after dealing with official business. The monk Zhixian of Langya Mountain, admiring Ouyang Xiu's character, raised funds to build a pavilion to provide Ouyang Xiu with a fixed place for socializing, which Ouyang Xiu named the Old Drunkard's Pavilion. Because 'the governor and guests would come to drink here, and after drinking a little, they would quickly become drunk, and since he was also the oldest, he self-styled as the Old Drunkard.' The architecture of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion is simple but ingeniously designed, with the main structure being the traditional Chinese hip-and-gable style, with mythical creatures crouching on the ridges, and the corners of the pavilion exaggeratedly tilting towards the sky, like an eagle spreading its wings 'gracefully overlooking the spring'. There is a stele inscribed with the 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion', handwritten by Su Shi, known as the calligraphy of 'Ou and Su', which enhances each other's brilliance. Photos 10-11, Erxian Hall. From photo 7, it can be seen that it is close to the Old Drunkard's Pavilion. It commemorates the two successive governors of Chuzhou, that is, Ouyang Xiu and the former governor, who brought benefits to the people during their tenure. The Old Drunkard's Pavilion to the west has two pavilions, one above and one below, the upper is Gu Mei Pavilion, and the lower is Yi Zai Pavilion. Photo 12, Gu Mei Pavilion, with an ancient plum tree, and a stone tablet inscribed: 'Plum planted by Ouyang Xiu's hand.' In front of the flower bed, there is a stone carving 'Nest of Flowers' inscribed by Li Songyang, the Qing Dynasty governor of Jiangnan during the Shunzhi era. The park's materials introduce that 'Nest of Flowers' refers to the ancient hermits Chao Wen and Xu You, and the ancients used them as a metaphor for noble sentiments of high integrity and reclusion without contention. The 'Nest of Flowers' here has a double meaning: it not only represents the plum blossom's 'beauty without vying for spring' and its detachment from the world, but it also uses flowers to honor Ouyang Xiu's character, as pure and noble as the plum blossom and Chao and Xu. Photo 13, Yi Zai Pavilion. The name implies 'The Old Drunkard's interest is not in the wine, but in the beauty of the mountains and rivers.' Photo 15, encountering a local guqin enthusiast playing in the Ying Xiang Pavilion. He informed me that whenever he has time, he comes here every day to drink tea and play the guqin with friends, isn't it delightful? I think: Wasn't Ouyang Xiu in such an environment, singing and drinking merrily? Just as the 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion' says: 'Those who carry burdens sing along the way, travelers rest under the trees,' 'The joy of mountains and rivers is found in the heart and expressed through wine.' Photo 17, Qu Shui Liu Shang. Photo 18, buying a folding fan in the scenic area, with 'Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion' written by Su Shi. In summary, Langya Mountain scenic area is famous throughout the world because of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion, and Langya Mountain and the Old Drunkard's Pavilion complement each other. The trip to Langya Mountain has left me with beautiful memories.

This small town adjacent to Nanjing is worth your weekend visit

I took a trip to Chuzhou, which is very close to Nanjing, when I had some free time. I wanted to experience the Ningchu City Line (S4 Line), but unfortunately, only the Chuzhou section has been opened, and the Nanjing section has only been built up to the Cha River. It is one of the four Anhui 'little brothers' in the Nanjing metropolitan circle. Its development momentum has been very strong in recent years, and last year's growth rate of 5.5% left a shadow, making it the third city in Anhui. As for how to play here? The answer is: 'One mountain, one book, one emperor'. ✅Must experience: 'The mountain is Langya Mountain' It used to be called Moda Ridge, because Sima Yi's son, Langya King Sima Zhou, once stationed troops here, so it is also called Langya Mountain. In the fifth year of the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu wrote a letter to Fan Zhongyan to exonerate him. As a result, he himself was demoted to Chuzhou and served as the prefect for two years, writing the 'Ode to the Pavilion of the Drunken Old Man', becoming the drunken old man who enjoyed himself with the people. 'The area around Chuzhou is all mountains. The peaks to the southwest, with their beautiful forests and ravines, are particularly beautiful. The one that looks lush and deeply charming is Langya.' I thought the old poet was writing with artistic license, but he was actually writing realistically. 📝Note tips: Admission to the mountain is free, and there are many small scenic spots in the mountain. Among them, the Drunken Old Man Pavilion, Tongle Garden, Langya Temple, and South Heaven Gate are four joint tickets for 60 yuan.

He comes from 'The Scholars', a unique book that represents the peak of ancient Chinese satirical novels. The author is Wu Jingzi, a novelist of the Qing Dynasty. He is from Quanjiao, Chuzhou, and Hu Shi, also from Anhui, called him the greatest literary giant of Anhui. His former residence is near the Taiping Ancient City in Quanjiao, Chuzhou. The classical garden-style courtyard, which goes in and out several times, is surprisingly large. The whole set of houses is made of green bricks and tiles, one layer inside another. The garden behind the residential area is fresh and quiet, with all the pavilions and towers that should be there. ✅Must experience: 'The emperor is Emperor Taizu of Ming' Among the ancient emperors, I admire Zhu Yuanzhang alone. Among the emperors who had a similar background to him, Liu Bang was at least a grassroots cadre, but he really started with a bowl and was poor. There is a Fengyang County in Chuzhou, which was called Haozhou in the late Yuan Dynasty and is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. In 1368, when the Ming Dynasty was just established, he chose his hometown Fengyang as the capital, despite the opposition of many ministers, but our Emperor Hongwu insisted on his own way. Ming Zhongdu is a world-class mega project, the scale of which is 288 basketball courts (120,000 square meters) larger than the Forbidden City in Beijing. Judging from the nearly 3-meter-long giant foundation stone unearthed from the front hall, it is also unprecedented. 🌟Highlights: Now there is a drum tower in the urban area of Fengyang County, which is an auxiliary building of Ming Zhongdu. Without a doubt, this is the largest drum tower in the country, with a base length of 72 meters and a height of nearly 16 meters, which is very exaggerated. 📝Note tips: Zhu Yuanzhang also built the Minghuang Mausoleum for his parents in Fengyang. Although the Minghuang Mausoleum is not a royal mausoleum, it is the same system as the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing and the Ming Thirteen Mausoleums in Beijing, with magnificent and solemn palaces and pavilions.
