After the reform and opening up, there was a big performance, and the record of Xie Guoen's poems was published in the second series of Ningxiang Poetry Talk. Poem title: Dacheng Bridge Story Meeting, according to legend, began in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a collection of folk skills for self-entertainment. However, it has been closed ever since a grand performance was held to celebrate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. 1In September, 993, the villagers celebrated a well-off life and spontaneously raised funds to hold the story meeting, which was interrupted for half a century. The program is wonderful, large-scale, with tens of thousands of viewers and orderly. Cai Dong rushed to sponsor and donated more than 40,000 yuan on the spot. The scene is touching, and the poem is recorded: The story was written and performed by itself, which attracted Xian Yi, old and young in Qian Qian. Little students painted their faces in Tsing Yi dance, and the legend of lion and dragon lantern. Singing loudly, drums and gongs shook Tian Yao. Cai Dong sponsored Tianjiaqu and donated 40,000 yuan in one fell swoop.
Dacheng Bridge, a story known to women and children in Fiona Fang for dozens of miles, took place in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. There is a big house called "Gaotangchong" in the south of Dacheng Bridge. At that time, the owner's name was Ou, and his property was very large, and he collected more than 10,000 tons of rent. Most of the land around Dacheng Bridge belongs to his ancestors. Dacheng Bridge used to be a wooden bridge, which was washed away by mountain torrents from time to time, causing great inconvenience to pedestrians. With the prosperity of commerce, there are more and more shops, and the single-plank bridge is no longer suitable. Some local social leaders proposed to rebuild it, and neighbors also volunteered to donate money. Only this rich man who charged thousands of rent didn't say a word. He replied to the donor that his tenant had a wooden bridge under Quantang Bay, 50 meters downstream of Dacheng Bridge, and he could travel by his own bridge.
The local people are not discouraged by the fact that this big family has not donated money. After three years, the small wooden bridge was finally transformed into a permanent stone bridge with four piers and five groups, and four stone monuments were erected on the left side of the bridge. The first inscription records the course and difficulty of bridge repair; The other three pieces are all the names of donations and materials.
Decades later, Ou's eighth son got married. The married woman is Miss He Tianyou's fourth family in Yiyang, and her family is the largest rich family in Yiyang, with a rent of over 10,000 tons. On the wedding day, both men and women should be rich, powerful and lively. He's dowry is countless, and everything adds up to eight. The homonym of eight is "hair". 8864 sets, 48 people's bands. There are 18 long horns and 100 sedan chairs. All four handmaids are sedan chairs, and there are thousands of people in the wedding procession. This kind of team will have problems if it is to be a big bridge. The neighbors of Dacheng Bridge refused to allow his wedding team to cross the bridge on the grounds that Ou refused to donate money when the bridge was repaired. Afraid of losing his dignity, the rich man negotiated with the local government, laid a red carpet on the bridge deck and agreed to take firecrackers across the bridge.
Decades later, Gaotangchong's family business declined rapidly. Married a bride of thousands of people, Mrs. Oba, but ended up penniless. Why doesn't her family take tens of thousands of burdens to support her? Because the marriage between the two families is too deep, they have been unable to communicate. The reason is that He Tianyou listened to the wrong voice and made a speech. After the man sent the "eight characters", He Tianyou sent a long-term worker from Ningxiang to visit Gaotangchong. Long-term workers came home and truthfully reported to their masters that Gaotangchong had been separated for four generations and it was difficult to maintain the crowd. He's son-in-law, Master Oba, received a lease fee of 1000 yuan. Yiyang and Ningxiang have some mixed accents. He Tianyou listened to "more than a thousand burdens" as "more than seven thousand burdens", so he agreed to get married. On the wedding day, He Tianyou was rich and expensive. On the slot door of Gaotangchong, there is a flat forehead of "Scholar Hanlin". You can't get off the sedan chair when you enter the gate of Gaotangchong. Ou is a "scholar Hanlin". Seeing He Tianyou's deliberate ridicule, he turned around and went in, but he didn't see his "in-laws". Since then, there has been resentment between the two families. Miss Ho Si was far away from her family, isolated and helpless, and finally made a living by begging. Besides, I didn't ask for directions when I asked for food. Every day, she goes out the same way. How can several neighbors afford it for a long time, so we have to take her to find some new households.
Why has this story been circulating for many years? Donating money to build a bridge is something that Gaotang County rushed to Niu Yi. Farmers hate people who are "rich and heartless" and are proud of being rich. Building bridges and roads is a recognized virtue among the people, which is intended to inspire future generations to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue. There is also an aphorism among the people that "you are richer than three generations", which is full of philosophy. Because rich children rely on their ancestors and live a naked life, where is the spirit of struggle? Handed down from generation to generation, no amount of ancestors can stay.
