51 time, went to Huangshan. We play a couple of days in Huangshan, the third day, from Tunxi went Shexian.
Heard people say, Shexian the most famous is that of the arch base of the Yue-tong. Early in the morning, we stopped on the road to Shexian of a car. Got on, not yet open, the sale of tickets Aunt say, is to see arch, right? I said yes, hurry while buying tickets, where to get off while inquiries in the. Who are very enthusiastic about the car and saw our jeans, backpack look, we know from overseas tourists, rushes to tell us how to go about how much money transfer.
Sat down after having the morning sun came in from the windows on the oblique. That prestigious St. Paul, what is it look like?
The first exposure to "arch" is on TV "arbiter" in the. If there is a set of name is so-called "arch" that the arch has a Royal seal of her mother because there is no grandson, daily beatings virtue of the wife, but I do not know the reasons for his son. Later, his son is distressed wife wanted a preposterous way, so that his brother instead of his sons. Poor virtuous wife knows nothing about, passive matter to family law has since been playing became disabled. In television, that have arch there is a strong lady, "unfilial there are three, half a million for" ideology at every turn to their own arch to put pressure on people to flaunt their chastity, accusing the daughter of Shi Zhen, worth of shielding two a son. She is played a negative role, and thus enabled me to arch there is an instinctive dislike, it feels like a yoke, a large lid, lock freedom, suppress the Sound of Music.
There is a Beijing artist Zheng Yun's album, "naked", in which the name of a song called "arch." That song does not sound right, even on soft music I love is hard to listen to a song, but in which the singer has been repeating, "the arch, arch, arch -----"。
The arch, what you look like, and they represent anything at all? I looked out the window rolling mountains, slightly more curious thought.
Car to a junction, let us down, crossing it a few more motor tricycle owner immediately surrounded by over, it seems that these days many people visit St. Paul group. We talk about the price, pick one.
Drove about 10 minutes to go.
This is the St. Paul group? Its descendants surrounded it all up, to live to see the door, everyone is 20 yuan of money. From the outside, a small place, a piece of legislation seven arch. Tickets too expensive we do not want slaughtered, just outside the small shops twisted my. According to my experience, this place can not all be surrounded, primarily to intimidate outsiders, if someone in the right place, it may not are mixed into a penny. However, we should not go, and we was about to go around in circles, it was He Zhu, and turned out tricycle to send this piece of your place, of course, into money, go out is not so easy. St. Paul ah arch, you know your children and grandchildren so high-handed, you know, you not only become a building, you also become a money-spinner!
Have no way out, we go buy a ticket.
First visited the family's ancestral hall. Inside of you ancestral tablets, as well as a lot of wax, each has a story behind the wax. This large family has a a lot of virtuous women, filial sons, fame spread to the capital, the emperors are very focused on this one, so that several ordered the construction of the arch. The wax figure, most virtuous women, and some put up with hardships posthumous child rearing, several decades; some never married, fiance die, life is not determined to marry; while others man dies and his concubine died, his wife, raising cane out of a person's son, until the children and grandchildren; and so on and so on.
Perhaps I can not understand, anyway, deterred in the wax base, let me breathe, as if they see long-buried memories that have been rotten. In those days, it seems that everywhere suffused with a kind of musty. How could such a stupid? Not seen for a person not born a person who refers to himself, closed his own life. Not for love, just to name of the so-called Day! Bother to bring her husband, married to a pile of concubines. As a principal room of the woman, for such a man can only turn a blind eye, swallow their anger, but for him and other people's children, but it has a responsibility to his upbringing. People used to the idea of what kind of absurd ah.
Worse still, some of the glory of wax record, let me feel sick. Talking about is a girl, thirteen or fourteen-year-old mother died when the death of his father, leaving only one of the little brother Kang governess, a poor family, can not allow lactating women, the girl at home in order to retain the ROC, we look for remedies, and After eating their own, some dairy, feeding his brother adult, his life is not subsequently marry. On this story, I not only nausea, and feel incredible. If this family so pay attention to propriety and justice Xiaolian, a family of orphans how no one well-intentioned, accepting them, and allow a blossoming girl like to do so! Instead of celebrating her death that she, why should not she was alive then to avoid this tragedy? I really doubt that their propriety and justice Xiaolian, I even thought it was a cold burglary, hypocrisy.
The purpose of visit the shrine is to the outside arch for footnotes. Originally wanted to find a stone cold standing outside, a little human things in order to allow their own, and even the family, give birth to respect, did not expect that some of my life, I Daorang injustice and resentment.
I pulled him, we went out bar. I really do not want to stay in the shrine of the black lacquer paint. Taken the high threshold to see the tourists coming and going outside, warm sunshine, it would feel back to the nineties.
High ground outside the arch stood, my curiosity has been turned on their discontent. But the past is past, to come as I approached them and went to see.
The arch, like a door to floor, from large pieces of stone bricks. Perhaps it is because next to the all mountain, the stone easy to adopt this, so people here have the habit of Li Paifang bar. That if they become custom, has become chasing goals. To this end, the number of people buried in their youth, the tears! Each arch on both words, either the construction of the emperor decreed, some local officials to build, although some were ordered built by the family patriarch. Next to travel agencies, tour guides are vivid descriptions to explain the story of each arch, legends. I have no mood to listen to, walks away.
St. Paul group is very long, there are more than 200 meters long, of which there is a next Mattingly is said to be people take a rest. Four weeks is the farmers crops, the golden bloom of rape is brilliant. There is a torii still tied to the pillars of a cow, bow their heads are grazing. One side is a solemn one side are mountains of the innocent and naive. I have the hypocrisy of the silence on this has been dismissed, so they together with this cow had a shadow, can be considered to the trip.
