Wu Dao Yu Jun:
Everyone has a Jiangnan in his heart.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a well-known epigraph called Jiangnan Dream.
Huang Fusong once dreamed of a rainy night in the late spring of Jiangnan: "The green embers are falling, and the screen is dark with red bananas. Dreaming of plum blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River, whistling in the night boat and rustling in the rain. Take a bridge in person. " And Li Yu recalled the beauty of the past: "How much hate, in the dream last night. It's like swimming in the garden in the past, and cars are like running water in Ma Rulong. Flowers and the moon are spring breeze. "

Jiangnan Dream is also called "Remembering Jiangnan" and "Good Jiangnan", and it can also be said that it is good to miss Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is good, and it is a beautiful scenery. Wu Shan is as empty as clear water, and has been proud of having "Little Jiangnan" since ancient times. West Lake can be seen everywhere, including Jiangnan, Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall and Jiangnan in Gansu.
Jiangnan is good, which is the wealth of life. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, eight counties and one state were the axis of China. As Matteo Ricci said when he came to Nanjing, "In terms of beauty and grandeur, this city surpasses all other cities."
Jiangnan is good, and it is also a flower of culture, with continuous silk and bamboo, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and elegant gardens. You can think of cultural traces, there are traces in Jiangnan.
Now I dream of Jiangnan again, instead of missing a lifestyle called Jiangnan. There is elegance, earthly life, idleness we can't get, and magnificent spring scenery.
This Jiangnan dream, this Jiangnan dream of China people.

Royal garden dream
One side of the soil and water support one side. In the north, there are mournful songs of Yanzhao, horses and cattle in autumn wind, and the sky is like a dome in four fields, while in the south of the Yangtze River, there are people with apricot flowers and spring rain, singing and dancing lightly, and bridges flowing with water.
For Qianlong from the north, Jiangnan is a dream that Qianlong can't get.
After six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, Gan Long has never forgotten the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. Whether it's the beautiful mountain or the Taihu stone, he wants to bring it back to dry Beijing. After all, in ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient and it was not easy to go back and forth. A stone also has the feeling of being in Jiangnan.

However, Qianlong is the emperor. "Whoever says that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, move into your arms." He built himself a south of the Yangtze River. He built a large number of Jiangnan gardens in Yuanmingyuan and personally participated in the design. On the second southern tour, when Qianlong first saw the lion forest, he wrote a poem: "I remember the lion forest best, and Huang's fantasy in the garden is today." Then I copied a place in Changchun Garden.
Compared with the northern royal gardens, Qianlong yearns for the poetic dwelling behind Jiangnan gardens. Ji Cheng said in "Garden Governance": "If you are clear, you will feel a few seats, but if you are far away, you will be dusty." The moment when people really communicate with nature is very poetic, but obviously it is impossible for the Forbidden City to have this experience.

"The mountain building is far away, which is obvious to all. The bamboo dock is secluded and fascinating." "The mountains are meaningful, and the flowers and trees are short-lived." Leisure between mountains and rivers is a poetic life that busy Qianlong can't have.
He wrote 40,000 poems in his life, but he never reached the poetic quality of China people. Even the emperor, why don't you want to dream back to Jiangnan to find a poem?

Scholars' pastoral dreams
Jiangnan is an idyllic image written by literati.
In spring, the poet wrote: "In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers fly around." ; Folk songs sing: "Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and lotus leaves are sweet"; There is even Wei Zhuang's sentence: "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only enter Jiangnan and end up in Jiangnan."
Wei Zhuang said well, everyone is saying that Jiangnan is good, and people who come here just want to grow old with Jiangnan. Jiangnan is an idyllic dream of China people.

Bai Juyi, who once wrote three "Jiangnan Dreams", missed Jiangnan all his life.
Bai Juyi first made a secretariat in Hangzhou and lived in a closet for a long time. Finally, on a spring afternoon, he rode a horse to the West Lake for an outing. He watched the mist of the West Lake contend with the oriole. The grass in spring has just grown to a horseshoe shape. When he went back, he wrote: "Flowers are getting more attractive, but shallow grass can't crow." I love the eastbound lake and the white sand embankment under the shadow of Populus davidiana. "
After leaving Jiangnan for more than ten years, he wrote three Jiangnan Dreams in Luoyang in the north. The first sentence is "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery was once well known." You see, he has been gone for many years, thinking of red flowers and clear water, searching for laurels in mountain temples, looking at qiantang bore, and thinking of women who are good at dancing.
Jiangnan really looks like a charming woman. After a farewell, look at the water like eyes, look at the mountains like eyebrows, and only whisper heartbroken and think twice.
Jiangnan is my gentle hometown in my dream. Since ancient times, countless frustrated people have fled here to spend the rest of their lives. From retirees to Jianghu cloth, Jiangnan is accepting people who are far away from temples.
The water in Jiangnan is crystal clear, so you can lick my tassels; The water in Jiangnan is muddy, so you can lick my feet. Or when.
Jiangnan dream in everyone's heart
If we go back to the present, Jiangnan is not a dream for us. This dream is inspired by the people in the south of the Yangtze River and Paramore's ideal of life.
Dai Wangshu once described her daughter's ideal life like this: "We used to have a comfortable home, surrounded by the gurgling sound of spring water, with sunshine in winter, shade in summer, friends during the day, quiet at night, and years flowing outside the window without disturbing."
"We used to have a garden by the sea, which gave us nutritious tomatoes and golden bamboo shoots. Your father was tired of studying and went to farm. Your mother sews in the shadow of the sun. What about you? You chase butterflies on the grass and then look for gentle dreams in your gentle arms. "

Dai Wangshu, who grew up in Jiangnan, is all too familiar with this lifestyle. He studies in the rain, has a garden and books, and his family sits around with friendly lights. This is the life created by Jiangnan people, and all this is related to the pursuit of leisure and poetry.
However, such a life is easily broken in the face of heavy reality. We worry about things every day, indulge in material things, no longer care about the sun, the moon and the stars, and make the poetic garden desolate.
China people's idea of "Jiangnan" is not only a geographical location, but also a cultural image, a way of life and even an ideal of life.
Jiangnan is like a lamp in a dark room. We use it to find a way out in the real wasteland, lead to leisure and escape from nothingness.

Finally, when we talk about Jiangnan again, I hope we can transcend geography, history and culture and point to an ideal life. Whether it's the poetic pursuit of emperors, the pastoral yearning of literati, or the leisure we pray for, I hope we will never forget to pursue it all our lives.
That kind of life is worth quoting a poem at the end: "If people catch a glimpse of us laughing and laughing under the lamp, they will think it is worthwhile to live only for this."
This alone is worth a lifetime.
