Analysis:
Xu Zhimo has two new and old houses in Haining, both in Shixia Town. The old house is in the conservative square, which is the ancestral home and birthplace of Xu Zhimo. The new house I see is on Ganhe Street. 1926. Although Xu's father was dissatisfied with the marriage between Willmore and Xiaoman, Du loved them very much and specially built this new house for them. This is a combination of Chinese and western, more than 600 square meters of small building, dubbed by Xu Zhimo as "Xiangchao". Zhimo and Xiao Man's new house is on the second floor of Xiangchao, that is, the front and back rooms. Although the bedroom furnishings belong to the new school, they are relatively simple, with only one bed, one table and one cabinet. There is a sofa in the living room with the word "Mei Xuan" hanging on the wall. You can imagine how many sweet and touching times they spent here in their lives. In the catastrophe, except that the plaque of Liang Qichao hanging in the original central hall has been replaced by the plaque of "Anyatang" by Mr. Qi Gong, it seems that the new house has not been damaged more, and the painted floor tiles made in Germany on the ground are still the old things of that year. A well in the yard behind the building is also an old thing. Zhimo borrowed things to think of people, and issued a call to Xiaoman here: "Eyebrow! If you don't wash this pool of clear water, who will? If you don't quench your thirst, who will? If you don't come to take pictures, who will? " There are several showrooms in the building, which regularly display Xu Zhimo's life poems and marriage life. The most striking thing is Liang Qichao's motto of being a witness at LULU wedding. Liang Qichao said in this rare maxim in ancient and modern times:
"Mo Chi, the little man is a n experienced person, I hope not a n experienced person. Xu zhimo! You are impetuous, so you have no achievements in your studies. You're not an emotional expert, so you divorced and remarried ... Lu Xiaoman! You should be serious and try your best to be a woman. You can't interfere with Xu Zhimo's future career ... You have both experienced divorce and remarriage, and you are not a love expert. You should repent and turn over a new leaf in the future! May this be your last marriage! "
This eloquent speech is really Liang's heartfelt words of deep love and responsibility. Every sentence carries a lot of weight, and both of them hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, their future actions disappointed the old man.
Wang Guowei's former residence is different from that of JOE. The Wangs are ordinary businessmen, just an ordinary residential courtyard. Although Wang Guowei's knowledge is much deeper than Xu Zhimo's, it is not as famous as Xu Zhimo's new poems, because new poems are often more fashionable, love stories are more romantic and have a greater influence on the people. Wang Guowei was depressed and confused all his life. It seems that there are many distractions bothering him, which may be the reason for his academic achievements. Although there are different opinions about his self-destruction, he ended his precious life prematurely, leaving great regret for China culture. The life and writings exhibited in the former residence make people feel sorry for the fate of this scholar and thank him for leaving us such a rich cultural heritage. The statue in front of the former residence has wide lines, but it is difficult to leave for a long time because of its profound thoughts. The former residences of some other celebrities, such as Zhang Zongxiang and Xu Bangda, are bigger than Wang Guowei's. Wang Guowei is still so lonely and cold behind him!
If we push the times a little further, Haining has had a large number of cultural celebrities famous for their books since the Song Dynasty. It is said that 38 companies have started their own businesses, ranking second only to Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province and ahead of Shaoxing and Ningbo. The number of collectors can be said to be starry. Bibliographers in Haining are not only book collectors, but also scholars who specialize in learning. Some of them are even top figures in China, such as Cha, Zhou Guangye, etc. among the 600 people in China (Qing Dynasty) Writer's Notebook edited by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty. These book collectors all have well-built libraries with rich collections. Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed by the turmoil of war, and only Jiang Guangxuan's "Yan Fen Caotang" was well preserved. Jiang's family is a Tibetan family with a scholarly family. Jiang Guangxu's Don't Go to a Vegetarian Restaurant has accumulated more than 100,000 ancient books. It's a pity that Taiping rebels were burned when crossing the border. Guangxu regretted vomiting blood and died soon. Because his brother Guangdang's "Yan Fen Caotang" is good at transferring protection in advance, the library and its books and versions can still be basically preserved, so that future generations can enjoy this book.
The cultural atmosphere in Haining has nurtured countless cultural celebrities and attracted many people to Haining. Although I only stayed for three days, I already feel that this place can always create a cultural atmosphere. A hundred years later, in the county-level library, I opened a spacious room named "Shuxiang Room", which contained several sets of rattan tables and chairs, as well as Chinese and foreign books that could be read at any time on the tea rack. After I sit down, I will drink a cup of delicious new tea. There is a couplet on his face, which reads "tea, spring, summer, autumn and winter, books, reading all the time". This leisurely and elegant taste may be the source of countless cultural celebrities, and perhaps this is what makes me have a special liking for it.
