Nanxi

Dialects here are mostly archaic Chinese, calls river the small stream so far, some scholar said: Or Tang Yin. I am not a scholar, have not gone into seriously, know true and false, but my curiosity for it, the admiration for it, moved for it.

 

Watch Tang poetry, often there is a small stream word that appears, very like, a lot of vocabularies are being still continued to use so far. And read Tang poetry in dialect here, will feel that rhyme even more, really has a sophisticated appeal even more,, perhaps the probing into the right one of the scholar.

Do not allow me to think more, aunt's cousin has already met us in the township pavilion.

Because of our visiting, aunt's cousin likes the conduct in the color a bit, see people introduce: This is my mother uncle, see me for the first time. This is my mother Jin, this is my cousin, one year older than I, they come from the town.

Then a lot of people watch, come out to greet: To sip tea. The people of home town are so hospitable, so hospitable.

Went on the dyke of Nanxi at last.

Drawing near water by the dyke has a tree with luxuriant nonessentials, the old man in the home town tells me that this shout and “ cut winter trees ", It is an ancient tree, it is said that there is this tree when also there are no others here, I am curious, why are there trees of this kind of name? Do I ask the old man how to write the word? Old man say know here generation spread, let “ cut winter tree " once taking the place of .

Go home at dusk, I surf the Net to check, No, look through Ci hai, does not have, the end is that father finds out “ local chronicle " to just find, called “ eastern Shandong tree ", Scientific name “ Chinese sweet gum of autumn «. Tree this select soil do wet to can grow, getting wild and many, green leaf dense, set up appearance to be beautiful, it is strong to able to bear the wind-force. It is prolonged and non- rotten to entry into water woodenly and hard and use, can shield pedestrians for highway and embankment, the material is available for several desk ornamental firewood charcoal, the cover can support the gentle cover and dye raw materials of silk fabric while including oxalic acid.

The old man tells me about the story of this tree again, it is said not emperor (not set up for the emperor yet at this moment) in the Southern Song Dynasty With the elder brother '  Another Song not emperor)  Catch up with, come here yuans of soldier, soldier divide two No. into, Lu Xiufu escort elder brother travel by water Nan'ao, Wen Tianxiang escorts the younger brother and walks in the land route. Emperor Song come by the small stream, sit under the tree having a rest, frighten down and out, tree the very ripe tree seed bungles at his head just, children say while crying: Yuans of soldier bully tree seed, you of I, bully me too, I let you only bloom without forming seeds. Oddly enough, hereafter, this tree only blooms and will not form seeds.

I do not believe, but I believe. The past one thousand years, people of here sympathize with room Song, sympathize with those two small peoples work as short-lived Emperor right away, think of those and room and famous official and villager of life and death Song. Because they remember generation they are members of a nationality of Chinese of Central Plains migrating over from midstream and downstream of the Changjiang River, this kind of consciousness has already been deep-rooted in their heart, and even today.

So far, I know descendant of Lu Xiufu prolong silk floss in here, Wen Tianxiang betray give yuans of soldier hateful township people in here, escort, to present Beijing, lower till death in there yuans of soldier, leave eternal well-known phrase: Everyone will die from ancient times, my loyalty may leave a page in the annals.
