Travel notes of Pu Songling's former residence

From Zichuan to the east, it takes about 10 Li to Pujiazhuang, hongshan town. Pu Songling was born in this Zhuangzi.

When I entered Zhuangkou and walked along the stone road paved on the street, I felt that I was not visiting, but visiting relatives in the village. The stone road is very long and smooth, emitting a faint blue-gray light. The houses on both sides of the road are typical straw-thatched structures in rural areas of northern China, and some walls have peeled off, revealing mud bricks. There are other places on the roof where grass has been drilled and swaying in the breeze. All these make us smell the fragrance of ancient culture.

There are some pedestrians in the street from time to time, but it is not easy to tell whether they are tourists or villagers, because everyone is very calm, calm and poised. Some people even greeted us warmly. This surprised us, because in our impression, a famous place like Pu Songling's former residence should be a big yard, and then several eye-catching signs should be hung to attract tourists and make it very lively. However, this may be the creativity of managers, who hope to closely link what they create here with real life, coordinate and make tourists feel natural and cordial.

Under the guidance of the villagers, we walked all the way and finally found Pu Songling's former residence in front of a courtyard that looked like ordinary people. Just above the gate of the former residence hangs a five-character plaque inscribed by the great writer Guo Moruo. To tell the truth, if it weren't for this plaque, it would be really difficult for us to find it here. Even so, we are still wandering around the door, afraid of going to the wrong place, and we will buy tickets after confirmation.

This is a typical northern farm courtyard, facing south. A small courtyard surrounds a small courtyard. The roof is also a traditional flying horse thatched eaves.

Into the gate, is a small yard, in the northwest corner of the yard, is a full-length sitting statue of Mr. Pu, carved with white stone. Mr. Wang sat there with his left leg on his right leg, an open book on his left knee, and his left hand holding it. His right hand twisted his beard, his eyes closed slightly, he stared ahead and frowned. What he might be thinking.

In order not to "disturb" Mr. Wang's thinking, we went through a small door and went north into a small courtyard. There are several pomegranate trees and a bamboo forest in the yard, which looks quiet, elegant and full of vitality. The west wing room is the showroom of Mr. Wang's life. It introduces the life of the old man to people with a large number of vivid and informative pictures, historical materials and unearthed cultural relics. It is worth mentioning that among the funerary objects unearthed in Mr. Wang's tomb, only a tin hip flask, a small handleless wine cup and a silver ear spoon are available, which shows that Mr. Wang was poor all his life. The house due north is the real former residence of Mr Wang. For the convenience of visiting, the house was divided into three small rooms with unclear boundaries. There is a picture of Pu Songling painted by Qing Dynasty painter Zhu Xianglin on the back wall in the middle. This is a sitting statue in royal clothes. Pu Lao's life was great, and it was also the most proud time in his life. On both sides of the portrait are couplets inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo: "Writing ghosts and writing demons is superior, and stabbing greed and stabbing abuse is three points." This is a high evaluation of Mr. Zhang's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. On the right side of the room is the library, where Mr. Wang writes articles, receives visitors and takes a nap. On the left is Mr. Wang's bedroom, where Mr. Wang was born and died. Looking through the open curtain, there is a bed lying north and south near the east wall, and there is an old quilt with several patches on it. At the northern end of the bed is a big wooden cabinet with an oil lamp on it. It is here that Mr. Wang spent his poor and ordinary life. The south wing is the exhibition room of Mr. Wang's works, which displays many works of Mr. Wang, film and television works, and drama works adapted by later generations according to Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. It shows that Mr. Wang's works have a great influence on later generations.

After the visit, we went back to the gate and took a group photo to make this visit a permanent memory. It's like a pot of Millennium (aged) good wine, full of fragrance. Only by sipping slowly can you understand beauty.

Hope to adopt, thank you!
