Stone Carving Art
Xiao County stone carving is a traditional Han sculpture art with a long history.
The stone portraits that began in the Han Dynasty have been around for more than 2,000 years and have a long history. The stone carvings are made from bluestone in the mountains of the county. Bluestone is rich in reserves, fine in texture, hard and weather-resistant, and is suitable for carving works of art. During the long period from the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, Xiao County stone carving artists inherited and carried forward the tradition of Han Dynasty portraiture, and focused on innovation and enrichment of techniques. First, the appearance of round carvings in front of tombs in the Tang and Song Dynasties led to the development of stone carvings from single plane carvings to three-dimensional carvings. The stone monkeys, stone sheep, stone horses and stone figures in front of the Li tomb in the west of Li Shilin Village in this county have simple shapes and simple lines. In the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoxian's high-relief sculptures, especially the new technique of openwork carving, pushed Xiaoxian's stone carving art to a higher level; the Ming Dynasty's Zhuangli Township Taoxu Village Archway has 20 openwork double-sided carvings, including 4 hollow flower ones. The board is exquisitely carved with exquisite craftsmanship; in the 5th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoxian County rebuilt the school hall. In the middle of the steps in front of the hall, there is a super high relief coiling dragon, with a unique and beautiful shape, relaxed lines and flexible and diverse knife skills. Although most of the county's fine stone carvings were destroyed by natural disasters and man-made disasters, the art of stone carving has been handed down among the Han people. The Shui Zi Opera

These 22 years were Bai Juyi's teenage years from the age of 11 to 33. These 22 years were the foundation stage of the poet's life in which he studied and started. Bai Juyi would not have acquired the brilliance without the 22 years of suzhou soil and water cultivation; his poems such as "The wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow again" are philosophies that people have at their fingertips; his depictions of "Charcoal Seller", "Viewing the Wheat Cutting" " triggered the heartfelt cry of thousands of workers; his "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and "Pipa Play" made people all over the world cry and move; his poem "I wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground" It turned into an eternal oath of love for hundreds of millions of lovers.
During the Shangyuan Festival in Suzhou, Su Shi once wrote a poem saying that the spring scenery of Suzhou during the Shangyuan Dynasty was beautiful, better than a fairyland, and even warmer and more pleasant than a place where gods live. "Baiyun Township" is an allusion. "Zhuangzi·Heaven and Earth": "Riding on the white clouds, as far as the imperial hometown." "Huainan" is the name of a road, the name of a road (the name of an administrative region in the Song Dynasty), one of the fifteen roads in the Song Dynasty, and the seat of governance is Yangzhou, which is now Anhui.

Wang Ji lived in seclusion in Dongjie (now Wuliu Scenic Area). He called himself Dongjiazi. He grew millet and made wine, collected Chinese medicine for his own use, and wrote poems and articles in his spare time, including "Sitting on New Garden Dan". ", the poem says: "The forest house has more resources, and the garden pavilion is now a camp. Pick up half a chopstick of pears, and it will grow almost completely from now on. Three springs are drilled in the marsh to drain out, forming a nine-foot mountain. The grass is fragrant and the caves are covered with grass, and the thatch is knotted with eaves and couplets. The pine tree is a companion, and the willow tree is named Wu. I drink alone for three springs, and no one comes to drink." It can be seen from the poem that Wang Ji named his new villa (villa) Wu. According to this, this place got the name of "Five Willows". Su Shi·Nan Xiangzi (Suzhou Shangyuan) went on a spring outing with thousands of riders, and the light rain stopped like a crisp. It can make old guests return to Jiangdong and stay late. White wine silently purges oil. The planet is in chaos with flying fire, and the green waves are about to flow. It's not as cold as Baiyun Township, but gentle. This time we go to the first state of Huainan. The customs in Suzhou are all the same as those in the north. The staple food is pasta, and steamed buns and cakes are eaten for lunch. Only a few hills in the Jiagou area produce rice, called "fragrant rice", which used to be tribute rice. Rice products usually only include rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. During the Spring Festival, I almost only eat pasta. During the Lantern Festival, make mixed oil lamps and place them in front of doors, chicken coops, etc. to ward off evil spirits.
On New Year’s Eve (the last day of the twelfth lunar month), people post Spring Festival couplets in the morning and cook and stir-fry. The main meal for the whole family reunion is lunch, which usually starts with setting off firecrackers at 12 o’clock. From the evening to the first day of the lunar month, dumplings are usually served. Lord, the first pot of dumplings must be brought to the graves of ancestors early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The dumplings must be vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and various grains must be put into the dumpling soup to symbolize the abundance of grains and the prosperity of livestock. Desserts include deep-fried meatballs, burnt leaves (dough slices, locally called "cat's ears"), and grasshopper legs (thin and short flour products shaped like the curved legs of a grasshopper, with sugar and grated ginger added). These snacks are all available. Do it before the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The New Year's Eve dinner is not a formal meal (usually dumplings are eaten (this custom does not seem to be seen in other places)), but the dinner is also a formal meal. Various dishes are prepared, which are quite sumptuous. Of course, dumplings are essential. On the first day of the new year, we visit houses for New Year greetings and go shopping in the city. Go to the market and pick up aunts, aunts and other relatives on the second day of the new year.
