Who in China doesn't know that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world"? This immortal famous sentence can be called a masterpiece through the ages: it contains everyone's imagination without a specific description. Such a famous sentence, Guilin in the eyes of tourists is Lin Daiyu in the eyes of Jia Baoyu and Hamlet in the eyes of British nobles.
However, who owns the copyright of this famous saying? From the late Qing Dynasty to the 1980s, there has been a long-term debate in academic circles. There was a popular saying that in the sixth year of Bao You in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1258), Zengbo Li wrote the sentence "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" in "Rebuilding Xiangxi Building"; Jin Wuxiang, governor of Guangxi, changed the word "mountains and rivers" in Zengbo Li's Poems on Lijiang River to "mountains and rivers" in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty (AD 1882), and wrote the poem "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world". At that time, many people thought that this was probably its earliest source. Guo Moruo, a master of history, can't find the right answer to the questions of Guilin scholars.
Later, a legendary event happened, which denied this statement and ended the endless debate for a hundred years.
1983 One day, when the rubbingmaster and Hu of the Guilin Cultural Relics Team were reading the inscriptions on rocks in Duxiufeng, they found that a stone carving on the cliff wall had formed a stalactite covering layer with a thickness of about 1 cm due to long-term seepage, and only a little corner was faintly exposed. What is the real work under the cover? The two masters carefully removed the cover with tools to see what was written inside. They shoveled and shoveled, and suddenly they gave a "ah" as happy as seeing the golden Buddha.
Guess what?
They found the poem "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world"!
This discovery is no small matter. When they gently shovel away all the covering layers, two seven-character poems are displayed in front of them. The second is:
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, jade Qing.
Morale is not inspiring, and the literary field is like a battlefield.
Tiger and leopard watch the enemy at nine levels, while Wan Li is playing.
Old eyes are clear, and gentlemen fight against the south.
It is clearly recorded in the Preface to Poetry that this poem was written in September 120 1 in the first year of Jiatai in the Southern Song Dynasty (the lunar calendar), which is the day when the provincial examination ended. At that time, the king of Jingjiang magistrate (equivalent to the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee and the mayor of the capital) was 165438+ of Guilin Province. After drinking this bowl of wine, my writing is vigorous. )。 When people are happy, their spirits are bright. Wang Daren had two more drinks, and his inspiration came. During the dinner, he improvised two seven laws. Reading through the whole poem, we can see that the original intention of Wang's poetry at this time is not to praise Guilin's landscape deliberately, but to encourage Guilin students to study hard and strive to be the pillar of the country and the best talent in the world. The phrase "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" naturally flows out of the glass without trace, which is catchy and seamless. Two poems won the appreciation of the attendees at the banquet, which were carved by Zhang Ciliang in Du Xiufeng's reading rock mouth.
This stone carving has undoubtedly become Du Xiufeng's treasure.
In order to prevent the sediment from covering famous sentences caused by rain erosion from happening again, an eave was built above the stone carving. There is not a visitor to Duxiufeng who is not interested in this stone carving.
This is the origin of "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world".
