"There is a bright moon in the east for three nights, and two points for Yangzhou." This is not the first time that Jiang Tian came to that legendary southeastern metropolis, which is known as the place where "Yang Yi Yi Er" is said. If we say that Chang'an and Luoyang
Representing the political center of the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou is considered the wealth/economic center.
Moreover, Yangzhou, the head of the Sixteenth Prefecture in Tiandong; compared to the majestic Huanghuang in the north, the majestic land of the two capitals, undoubtedly has more fireworks of urban life and wealth of the commercial city. This point, from almost everything around
You can see the huge east square of Guangling Waiguo City.
What undoubtedly makes patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder uncomfortable is that there is no clear plan and arrangement for Dongcheng Dongfang; it is just spread out around the city, including many lakes, rivers, and bridges and docks; over the years, it has formed an area that is even larger than the city area.
A larger Bu Tiao Ze area.
Therefore, as the dojo of Master Jianzhen who traveled east to Fusang to spread the Dharma, the Daming Temple located outside the water gate in the west of Yangzhou City was also included among those east of the city, and became in a sense the heart of the downtown area; and even
"Lingfenghua" has become a part of Yangzhou's grand scene.
It also surrounds the oldest pagoda outside the temple; in the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty (601), Emperor Wen Yang Jian prayed for his birthday and ordered the establishment of one of the magnificent nine-story pagodas in the country to worship the bones of Buddha; and experienced
The garden is made up of large areas of peony and viburnum trees planted in ancient times.
Yangzhou peonies have been famous since ancient times, and are as famous as Luoyang peonies in the world. The essence of them is gathered outside the Daming Temple; the names are: "Guanzi", "Golden Thread", "Baoji", "Ice and Snow", "Double"
"head", "building" and so on. Standing on the top of the Qiling Tower, you can overlook the city in the distance.
It can be seen that even under the red sky, various entertainment venues in Chengdongfang are still open, with shouts and calls everywhere, and it is very lively; as if the full moon is everywhere, people enjoying themselves are reciting poems, singing, dancing, or playing the piano.
, enjoying the wonderful peaceful time to the fullest.
As the saying goes, "Ten miles long streets are connected, and the Yueming Bridge is looking at the gods. Life and death are in Yangzhou, and the Zen wisdom mountains are bright and the tombs are beautiful.", the bustling artistic conception of smoked willows in the famous work "A Long Journey to Huainan" by the previous generation poet Zhang Hu
, as close as a picture scroll. The biggest feature is Fanrenfang.
As a prosperous metropolis where the southeast sea and land meet, Yangzhou does not allow unnaturalized Tibetan people to settle outside the city. But in fact, all over the world, there are foreign vassals and vassal states from all over the world; successive dynasties have come to China to make a living.
Fans, barbarians and merchants, but there is an endless supply of money.
Therefore, dozens of fanfang/residential areas, large and small, with different characteristics were naturally formed outside the city of Yangzhou, around the Yangtze Ports and Hangou.
A fanfang established by the Haiyi Tu tribe in Xiao'ao.
Therefore, so many foreign elements with unique characteristics are mixed together in Chengdongfang; they also constitute the "everything in the market", one of the three strange things in Yangzhou. Because there, you can appreciate everything without leaving China.
, almost all the ethnic customs related to the Tang Dynasty.
By the time we entered the city, the sky had already darkened; the bright moon in the sky and the bright lights of the world were a perfect match, complementing each other and overshadowing the grand urban scene on the other side. The large and small rivers and waterways that crisscrossed the city, and the ubiquitous bridges
There are large and small night markets all over Hedu.
In the east of the night, there are only the shadows of boats and the sound of oars, and the lights of fishing fires, waving flower branches and willow sticks, carrying bamboo poles, chasing children playing in the streets along the river; the laughter of tourists and ladies taking candles at night, flying and drifting in the wind.
On the river bank, among the shade of flowers and trees on the street.
As the saying goes, "Thousands of lights in the night market illuminate the blue clouds, and high-rise buildings with red sleeves are crowded with customers." As a gathering place of southeastern wealth and elegant culture, one of Yangzhou's most famous features is that it is a fireworks destination, often seen in famous places handed down from generation to generation.
Chapter: "With a hundred thousand guan tied around his waist, he rode a crane east to Yangzhou."
Among them are Luo Binwang, Li Qi, Wang Changling, Meng Haoran, Cui Hao, Li Hong, Gao Shi, Wei Yingwu, Gu Kuang, Dai Shulun, Wang Jian, Liu Yuxi, Hong Juyi, Zhang Hu, Yao He, Li Shangyin, Du Mu, Wen Tingyun and other famous figures in the past.
.Among them, Li Hong traveled to Yangzhou six times.
Therefore, in some streets and alleys outside the city, even the air is filled with the charming and ambiguous atmosphere of pink and pink; if Pingkangli in Chang'an and Yuepei in Luodu almost represent the essence of the romance between the two capitals, then the Yangzhou characteristics
The smoke and willows are blooming, otherwise the wind will sneak into the spring scenery of the city at night.
The cool and refreshing night breeze blows gently on your face, the flowers, trees and plants that shade the road, and the fragrance of the wisteria branches peeking out from the edge of the high wall; mixed with the fishy smell of water and grass stirred up by the sound of oars, it is very similar to the flower vendors wandering the streets.
The fragrance of tuye (jasmine), cinnamon twigs, and viburnum is warm and intoxicating.
Although it is not impossible to see all the flowers and the most beautiful fireworks in March, it is not the mid-summer period when people are naked and the fruits are fresh; but they can still be seen in the light and thin clothes of the girl, who is full of makeup and the smell of alcohol.
Benefactors; walking in the market as a matter of course, or even boarding a boat and entering a house.
With horses hooves clattering and lamp shadows swaying, Jiang Tian and his entourage walked eastward through the old site of the lost building outside the West Water Gate, and arrived at the Jiuqu Pond, the largest pool outside the city; the clear waves and the moonlight were hazy on the surface of the pond.
, scattered with the swaying lights of small boats, and reflecting the brilliant lights of high-rise buildings and pavilions on the shore.
Between the stillness and the movement, the bright and the bright, there is a certain contrast and contrast. And that time, the Yangzhou Dudu Mansion, the banquet place used to entertain guests, was located among the many balconies beside the Jiuqu Pool, like a
The seven-story cloister tower stands out like a flock of chickens, between the large Qionghua Garden.
According to the introduction of the officials who led the way, it was once part of the Forbidden City of Emperor Yang of Jiangdu, or whether only the Shuijing Palace remained during the Jiangdu Revolution. It was later stolen from Jiangdu's cultural heritage and converted into a private garden for viewing and monitoring.
Luocheng (Waiguo); from then on, the name Qionglou spread to the Ming Dynasty.
(In the Shuijing Hall of the Jiangdu Palace, Emperor Yang ordered the palace officials to wear crowns with louvered leaves that reach the sky and insert daggers, all with green pearls hanging down. They were covered with cones, and they used half-moon pheasant fans and auspicious dove-headed shoes, which they called "immortal flying")
Of course, at this moment, the Qiong Tower in the east had been cleared out as a place specifically to entertain Jiang Tian. Therefore, when Jiang Tian stepped out of the banquet hall on the second floor with the sound of singing and reporting, he saw
The master, the governor of Yangzhou, is a tall man wearing a purple robe and gauze crown.
We saw that he was nearly fifty years old, with a medium build and a heavy and solemn appearance, with frosty red hair and sharp eyes; the nasolabial lines on his forehead were particularly deep;
The natural focus of the east is like the stars holding the moon.
But Jiang Tian once again thought that he had collected relevant information about the wrong party before. As the governor of Yangzhou in charge of the southeast, his real name was Dugu Yun; he was born in the famous Yue family of the Northern Dynasty, and he was also a distant branch of the Dugu family of this dynasty's relatives.
Person; originated from a family of generals in the Yulin Army.
Otherwise, he was not the eldest son who could inherit the family business. Therefore, he was selected into the Jiangwu Academy, one of the three affiliated schools, as usual very early on, and then used this as a springboard to enter the Imperial Military Academy. In the past, he was a top student in the general department.
Due to his outstanding performance, he was awarded the title of Lieutenant to accompany the army and was selected as Zuo Qianniu Guard trainee Ranwang.
However, he did not, like other nobles and sons of relatives, walk in the guard of the Qing Dynasty, or go out to fight in various squads; instead, he asked himself to be released very early, and as an envoy of the Xuanfu, he
He went to foreign vassals and even foreign vassal states, and even stayed in the Western Kingdom of Daxia/Amagi Dynasty for half a year.
His experience of traveling abroad was also written as "The Customs of the Three Continents", which took up a lot of descriptive words. Then after the return of the Xuanfu envoy, he stayed in the east for half a year to recuperate due to illness, and another mysterious incident occurred.
Yangcuo was invited as a foreign aid and participated in the war between the Kunlun kingdoms.
As a result, he also brought out a well-known righteous followers in the local area; coupled with his aristocratic/famous family background as a descendant of the Dugu family, he was almost defeated by the Ansu Kingdom (Kingdom of Aksum), one of the few local vassals.
The deputy king of the Tang Dynasty recruited him as his son-in-law and promised him the position of general of the imperial army.
Later, on his way back to China by sea, he accidentally got involved with some Tu nationality kings in Western Tianzhu and colluded with the great rebellion of the Polo Dynasty in Central Tianzhu; he was recruited to join the joint reinforcements nearby; it turned out that the first battle would only last more than half a year.
He had to get away; but it also became a bonus for his qualifications.
As an honorable nobleman, he is one of the few people who knows how to fight and is good at fighting. Even if he is not from a family of generals, it is enough for him to enter the fast lane of his official career. But his real rise is not until more than 20 years ago.
He led troops to escort the new princess and participated in putting down the Tonghai Gongshi rebellion.
In that specific process of countering the rebellion, there were generally good things to say; however, he gained a large amount of resources and potential contacts from it; he also established a meaningful relationship with the contemporary princess.
Therefore, his official career went smoothly, and he became the governor at the age of three.
Even if the princess could not see the situation in the early years, the two parties were still communicating privately. As for Dugu Yun, his voice was loud and clear when he closed his mouth. In the conversation room where he deliberately created topics, the standards of public and private were also clear.
, but it won’t make people feel that raw fat is absolutely offensive.
At least in the first impression, he feels more like an upright official, rather than the potential scheming and all-powerful suspect that Xu Zhiyuan, the imperial censor, secretly investigates. In fact,
When Xu Zhiyuan was introduced to him on the spot, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
After the polite greetings and the serving of wine and food, it was the most common part of the banquet to test and get closer to each other. On the other hand, Jiang Tian began to taste the local Huaiyang cuisine. For example, crucian carp and
Thinly shredded carp and basil made of bamboo shoots and chrysanthemum seedlings;
Golden jellyfish made of finely chopped fresh seabass and wild vegetables mixed with seasonings and sun-dried; fried wild rice until golden and then topped with refined cheese; a casserole of tender mutton and minced almonds
The "Mountain Boiled Sheep" is simmered in the same soup; the "Zhuhai Danxin" is cooked with seaweed and shrimp balls added to the soup.
There are many steamed jade pillars with pumpkin powder, fish and eggplant brains, three-color tripe soup, two-color water dragon powder... As the so-called craving for food, Jiang Tian temporarily suppressed other plans and picked up the wine bottle as a cover.
, looked at the performances of everyone at the scene with cold eyes. The sounds of singing, dancing and instrumental music sounded one after another.
