Who can drink with me-Autumn tour to Xin Qiji's hometown.

        "The pavilion on the right side of the sea is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan." this is the verse of Du Fu's poem "accompany Li Beihai to feast at Li XiaTing". There are so many famous people in Jinan, such as min Ziqian, Bao Shuya, Zeng Gong, Li Qingzhao, Xin Qiji, Zhang yanghao, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong And so on. Among them, I especially like Xin Qiji, not only because of his heroic style of Ci, but also because he is a rare all-around man of letters and martial arts in history. The so-called "all-round talents in culture and military" are defined as: literature must be handed down for thousands of years, and the military must be able to control the army and resist the enemy. For two thousand years, there have been several people who can be called, such as Wang Yangming, Fan Zhongyan, Cao Cao, Zhugeliang, and Xin Qiji. Since I have been sent to Jinan, and the Licheng city of Jinan is Xin Qiji's hometown, I would like to pay a good visit to the hometown of a generation of CI poets who are "murderous with sword and tender with Ci".

The day before the autumnal equinox, on Sunday, I was lucky to encounter the rare good weather this week. So after having lunch and a nap, I drove to xinqiji memorial hall, which is more than 40 kilometers away from the city.

There is a stone archway at the entrance of the memorial hall. In the center is the five characters "Xin Qiji's hometown" written by Wuzhong, a calligrapher. On the left and right side of the archway are the couplets written by Guo Moruo. The first couplet is "iron plate and copper PA, following Dongpo's singing on the east side of the river". The second couplet is "Mei Qin mourns for millet, and Song Dynasty is not flying south with wild geese". In 26 words, it not only points out that Xin Qiji's achievements in literature are enough to stand side by side with Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also expresses his regret that he is a hero but has no way to return to the country.

Xinqiji was born in shifengzha village, fulicheng County, Jinan East Road, Shandong Province (now near the port, Licheng District, Jinan City, Shandong Province). At the time of birth, Jinan had fallen into the hands of the Jin State. Because of his father's death when he was young, Xin Qiji was raised by his grandfather Xin Zan, who could be said to be "in caoying and in Han". Although he was a county magistrate in the Jin Dynasty, he always planned against the Jin Dynasty, often instilled in Xin Qiji the idea of fighting against the Jin Dynasty and returning to the Song Dynasty, and twice sent Xin Qiji to Yanjing, the kingdom of Jin, to investigate the situation.

        In 1161 (song Gaozong Shaoxing 31) at the turn of summer and autumn, the king Wanliang (Note 1) invaded the Southern Song Dynasty, and the resistance to Jin Yijun surged all over the north. In Shandong, Gengjing, Kaizhao and other people gathered together to revolt. Xin Qiji also gathered about 2000 people in the southern mountain area of Jinan to join Gengjing's Yijun and take the post of secretary.

There was also a monk named yiduan who joined the rebel army with Xin Qiji. He was Xin Qiji's sworn brother. I didn't expect that monk yiduan could not bear the hardships in the army, so he stole the handsome seal that Xin Qiji kept and prepared to go to the gold camp to invite contributions. Because Xin Qiji was introduced to Geng Jing in yiduan, Geng Jing was furious and wanted to take Xin Qiji for questioning. The ashamed Xin Qiji made a military order on the spot and vowed to recover the handsome seal. Then he took a small group of people to catch up with monk yiduan all night, cut him off the horse and successfully recovered the handsome seal. Henceforth, Geng Jing was impressed by the young scholar.

Xin Qiji persuades Geng Jing to cooperate with the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin soldiers. Geng Jing sent Xin Qiji to return to the Song Dynasty. After being summoned by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, he appointed Xin Qiji to be the Secretary in charge of Lang affairs and Tianping governor. In 1162 ad (leap February of Shaoxing 32), Xin Qiji heard the news that Gengjing was killed by traitor Zhang Anguo on his way back to the north. He immediately led 50 cavalry to drive directly to Shandong, infiltrated into Jinying (the number of Jinbing stationed in this place reached 50000), captured Zhang Anguo who was drinking and enjoying, and escorted Zhang Anguo to Jiankang (now Nanjing) for justice. This kind of courage and courage to go deep into the enemy camp and catch traitors shocked the Southern Song Dynasty, when Xin Qiji was only 23 years old.

However, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty only wanted to be partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and Xin Qiji could not be reused by Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, although Xin Qiji wrote many suggestions about resisting the northern expedition of Jin Dynasty during the 30 years, he was praised by the people of the time. For example, the famous ten treatises on Mei Qin and nine treatises, etc., the court of the Southern Song Dynasty reacted coldly, only letting him in Jiangxi, Hubei and lake The South and other places acted as ambassadors for transit and appeasement, and were responsible for the Administration of civil affairs and the rectification of public security. When he was in Hunan, Xin Qiji established a flying tiger army in Changsha, which was specialized in suppressing the aggressors, and once again showed his military talent (Zhu Xi called it "the best way to recruit, the best way to prepare equipment"). However, he still couldn't get involved in the affairs of the kingdom of Jin. Because the Southern Song Dynasty didn't have the ambition to restore its homeland, he only hoped that the kingdom of Jin in the North would not attack again. Facing such a situation, Xin Qiji could only hope that the kingdom of Jin in the North would not attack again "Under the clear river, there are many tears in the middle. Looking at Chang'an in the northwest, I feel sorry for countless mountains.

Although he had outstanding talents, Xin Qiji's heroic and stubborn character and persistent enthusiasm for the northern expedition made it difficult for him to establish himself in the official arena of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, his awkward status as a "defector" hindered the development of his official career. Before the third year of Jiatai (1203 AD), he had not little time to leave his leisure, and therefore produced a large number of poems praising later generations.

In the third year of Jiatai, Han Yuzhou, who advocated Northern Expedition, was appointed governor of Shaoxing and governor of eastern Zhejiang. In the following year, Emperor ningzong of Song Dynasty summoned baomo pavilion to be prepared (Note 2) and proposed the concept of God protection (Note 3). Soon after, he was appointed governor of Zhenjiang, who gave him a gold belt.

When he was the governor of Zhenjiang, Xin Qiji once visited Beigu Pavilion. On the one hand, he lamented the loss of serving the country without a gate, and on the other hand, he wrote and sung the eternal joy. Beigu Pavilion in Beijing remembers the past

"For thousands of years, there are no heroes. Sun Zhongmou is there. Dancing Pavilion and singing platform, the wind is always blown away by the rain. The grass and trees in the twilight, the common streets, and the people who sent slaves lived there. Think of that year, gold and iron horse, like a tiger.

Yuanjia grass, the wolf house Xu, won the hurried North Gu. Forty three years, Wang Zhongyou, beacon Yangzhou road. Can look back, under the Buddha's beaver temple, a sacred crow Club drum. Who can ask if he is old enough to eat? "

Soon after, because of the attack of the speech officer, Xin Qiji left his post again. It was not until the third year of Kaixi (1207 AD) more than three years later that Xin Qiji was used as a privy minister. However, when the imperial edict arrived, Xin Qiji was already ill. He died in September of the same year at the age of 68.

To Xin Qiji's fate, Lu You, his good friend, wrote, "a man of great talent, a man of ancient lament, Guan Zhong, Xiao He, shiliuya", which is indeed a very pertinent comment. From Xin Qiji's actions and articles in his whole life, it can be felt that he is a sincere and honest man of disposition. When he was young, he killed yiduan, captured Zhang Guoan, and showed bravery and courage; when he was middle-aged, he founded Flying Tiger army to suppress bandits; when he was governor of Chuzhou, he appeased exile, resumed production, and showed his ability of governance; when he was dying, his old friend Zhu Xi passed away (61 when Xin Qiji died). At that time, Han Yuzhou was in charge of power, and Zhu Xi's theory was declared as "pseudo science". Many people were afraid to go to mourn Abandoning the disease and fearing no ban, he went to sacrifice himself, and wrote down the eulogy that has been handed down for thousands of years: "what is the public death of the immortal? You live in awe! What a spirit! It's true that "when you are old and loyal, you should make friends with Xin Youan."!

It's just that no matter in the official arena or in the business war, people with integrity and ideas like Xin Qiji are really hard to survive. Because he was upright, he was ostracized by the villains in the court; because he insisted, he was alienated by the emperor who only wanted to be partial; because of his outstanding talent, he was envied by the mediocre people, so that he was doomed to "look at the sword in the light of drunkenness, dream back to brawling.".

The greatest happiness of a talented person's life is to meet someone who knows, believes and uses you, just as Zhuge Liang met Liu Xuande, Wei Zheng met Li Shimin and Wang Meng met Fu Jian. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience of being appreciated and trusted. Zhuge Liang's "dedication and death" is not his sorrow, but his luck.

        Perhaps it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the memorial hall, and the tourists had already dispersed. In more than an hour's visit to the park, we did not see any other tourists. Although it was just renovated, on the whole, the museum is very old. The windowsill is covered with dust, the iron door is white and rusty, and there are few cultural relics. There are only a few wax statues and the introduction pictures of Xin Qiji's life. More interesting is the stone carvings recorded with his famous poems. The most famous ink is written by Dong Qichang. Li Bai said: "in ancient times, sages are lonely, only the drinkers keep their names." looking at the empty memorial hall, I can't help thinking that sages can't escape loneliness, whether before or after death!

When I left, the sun was already West, walking on the corn covered country path, looking at the elderly cyclists on the ridges of the fields and the elderly people walking their dogs in the sunset, I felt the helpless of "books are aggressive, and rest is not enough, and a gully is also romantic". In my heart, I heard the bleak of "the general's hundred battles, his name is split, he looks back to the river beam and thousands of miles, so he is unique". Read, read, suddenly look back, no one in the dim lights, but see has been annihilated in the light of Twilight Xin Qiji Memorial.

Notes:

1. Before Wanyan Liang left for the south, he wrote a poem: "move to the West Lake and mount the first peak of Wushan mountain". Although he was ambitious, he was defeated by Yu Yunwen in Caishiji, outside Nanjing.

2. The cultural level of the Song Dynasty emperors is good. The successive emperors will use a building to collect the paintings, poems and unloading of the former emperors. Baomo Pavilion collects the cultural relics of Guangzong in the Southern Song Dynasty. Similar buildings include Baozhang Pavilion, Longtu Pavilion, tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion and Xianmo Pavilion And so on. There are such official positions as bachelor, direct bachelor and waiting system in the pavilion. Bao Qingtian (Bao Zheng), who is famous for Ding & Ding Management Consultants, also served as a Bachelor of longtugo.

3. To be in charge of Youshen temple was a kind of empty duty in Song Dynasty. On the surface, he was in charge of a temple temple, but in fact, he only enjoyed treatment but had no specific task.
