Zhang Ming Wan Li Mo Ding Hongcun Nanhu Project Li Dong 98-year-old birthday star Wang Zhoushan

Over the past 400 years, the flowing clear water and canals in the village have not only facilitated the production and life of the people, eliminated the fire, but also created a livable microclimate and beautiful water town landscape, with clear springs flowing in front of every household and green ponds stored in every courtyard. There is a poem praising: "What's the point of telling neighbors? It's best to draw it in the south pool of Yuenuma. Why not take a long way? There is a clear spring in Jiajiamen Lane. " No wonder Hongcun is known as "the village in Chinese painting".

As the so-called outstanding people, the beautiful Hongcun is also full of talents. Since ancient times, there have been many academies in Huizhou, and the style of study is fierce, which has created a large number of people who read widely. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were as many as 296 officials from Xidihong Village. Kang Youwei, etc. wrote a letter on the bus, demanding the abolition of Sino-Japanese treaty of shimonoseki. Four of the eight people who signed the letter were Xidihong Village. It is Huizhou people's spiritual encouragement to generations to respect education and ancestors. "Men want to be content with their ambitions and read to the window after six classics." "The poor are rich because of books, and the rich are expensive because of books. Fools get good books, and saints get good books. " People always remember the family motto, "When you are in Tian Shelang, you will be in the emperor's hall at dusk." In the countryside, either grand academies are built or simple study rooms are used, and people who read widely are invited to give lectures carefully. It is this tradition of studying and teaching that in Huizhou, a "rough and dangerous" land, "the style of writing is flourishing" and "reading is not wasted" has become a scene.

From the success of the imperial examination in Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even after the Republic of China, there are countless Huizhou Confucian scholars who entered the upper class through fair competition, such as "two yuan for one subject in the same county", "nine scholars are brothers, four ministers are history", "nineteen scholars are single", "three halls are connected, four academicians are ten miles", "minister and son" and "one product and four generations". Huizhou * * * has produced 28 top scholars, 17 prime ministers, and famous ministers come forth in large numbers. And Zhu, Dai Zhen, Hu Shi and other "writers" are also giants in the history of China's academic thought; In politics, philosophy, economy, literature, art, medicine, science and technology, diet, painting and calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, gardens and other fields, there are countless Hui celebrities.
