I can’t remember when it started. When the New Year comes, I will share a few photos from the trip that year, write a few words of blessing, and celebrate New Year’s Day with my loved ones and friends. Even in the unfortunate years before and last, I did three and four inter-provincial trips, so I didn’t have to worry about having no new plans in the new year. But this year it was a bit unsustainable, because I didn’t go anywhere for a whole year, so I had to find another way. Inspired by the calendar card, I selected 12 photos from the past years that can barely touch the halo of famous poems. I used poems and pictures to welcome the New Year. It can be regarded as a novelty without new pictures. Happy New Year to all my friends!

Hu Wenguang, the governor of Xidi, Huizhou, took it in May 2021
If you want to know the gold and silver gas, you usually travel from Huangbai.
has been obsessed with life, and has never dreamed of going to Huizhou .
Tang Xianzu of the Ming Dynasty " Some friends gave me pity and encouraged me to visit Huangshan and Baiyue "
Press: "No dream of visiting Huizhou" has now become a classic tourism promotion word for Huangshan City (ancient Huizhou) in Anhui Province. However, historians believe that Tang's poem has exactly the opposite meaning, saying that Tang Xianzu yearned for Huizhou is actually the most beautiful misunderstanding of him. In the 19th year of Wanli , Tang Xianzu's remarks were sparse, which angered Ming Shenzong and offended his teacher and deputy prime minister Xu Guo. He was demoted to Xu Wen Dianshi. Later, his friend Wu Xu persuaded him to go to Huizhou to see Xu Guo, who had retired and returned to his hometown. He admitted his mistake and asked him to deal with Ming Shenzong. However, Tang Xianzu did not bow his eyebrows and bowed his head. He wrote this poem to express his ambition: I would never go to Huizhou even in my dreams. There is a small preface before the poem as evidence: "Wu Xu took pity on me and persuaded him to visit Huangshan and Baiyue, but to no avail." Some people pointed out that Xu Guo had passed away when Tang Xianzu wrote this poem, and it was Wu Xu who persuaded him to go to Huizhou to try his luck, because at that time Huizhou merchants gathered in the world and were rich. "Yellow and White Tour" in the poem is a pun. Touring Huangshan Baiyue ( Qiyun Mountain ) refers to going to Huizhou. At the same time, it is a metaphor for going here to find yellow and white (gold and silver). There is a lot of potential, but I despise the smell of copper and would never go to Huizhou in my dreams. The Hu Wenguang Governor's Arch in the picture above is one of the representative memorial arches in Huizhou. It is located in Xidi Village, Yixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province today. It was built in the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1578) to commend Hu Wenguang for his emphasis on agriculture, education, and integrity during his tenure as Jiaozhou Governor. Different from the "soaring pillar-style" Huizhou archways at that time, this archway has a very unique shape, with five distinct-level pavilions, tall and elegant, and is called a pavilion-style archway or archway. Hu Wenguang was born in Xidi Village . He served as the governor of Jiaozhou and managed shipping. He later served as the chief historian of the Jingzhou Palace. He was awarded the titles of Chaoli Dafu and Fengzhi Dafu by the Jingzhou King, and he was known as the Prime Minister of Jingfan. The names of Jiaozhou Governor and Jingfan Prime Minister are engraved on both sides of the archway.
