浙江省中西部,有座叫蘭溪的江南小城。它素有“錢(qián)塘第一商埠”“民國(guó)第一縣”“小上?!敝Q(chēng),是宋徽宗題譽(yù)的“天下江南”,也是“東方莎士比亞”李漁的故鄉(xiāng)。
婺江、衢江在蘭陰山麓匯成蘭江,一路向北,入富春江,至富陽(yáng)以下,連通錢(qián)塘江。聳立在蘭江之濱的蘭溪,文化底蘊(yùn)深厚,自然風(fēng)光旖旎,商埠貿(mào)易繁華。元代詩(shī)人薩都剌途經(jīng)蘭溪時(shí)忍不住夸贊:“越船一葉蘭江上,載得金華一半秋?!?/p>
自唐咸亨五年(674)建縣,儒家文化、山水文化、美食文化、中醫(yī)藥文化等優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化在此生生不息。如今,蘭溪挖掘千年歷史文脈,整合開(kāi)發(fā)文化資源,以李漁文化提升城市品位和城市辨識(shí)度、美譽(yù)度,打響了“蘭溪日子 有戲有味”的地方IP,為城市發(fā)展不斷注入文化原動(dòng)力。
蘭江千載北行水? 映照千古人文情
蘭溪老城的東門(mén)牌樓旁,藏著一家并不顯眼的舊書(shū)店。書(shū)店沒(méi)有店名,門(mén)口擺放著幾張小木凳,高矮不一。小木凳常常有人坐,走近細(xì)聽(tīng),他們多是聊些本地文化圈的事。1970年出生的老板潘志平是一名收藏愛(ài)好者,從收藏小人書(shū)連環(huán)畫(huà)開(kāi)始,到專(zhuān)注于蘭溪地方文獻(xiàn)收藏。
有人說(shuō),要找與蘭溪?dú)v史、文化有關(guān)的書(shū)籍,就得找老潘。自然而然,他的小店成了一些蘭溪文化愛(ài)好者和研究者的聚集地。這群人,多來(lái)自一個(gè)民間組織——蘭溪市文史與文獻(xiàn)研究會(huì),潘志平也是會(huì)員之一。每年,研究會(huì)要出兩期《蘭溪文史文獻(xiàn)》,大家說(shuō):“蘭溪的文化,有的挖,值得挖?!?/p>
國(guó)家文化先進(jìn)市,傳統(tǒng)建筑之鄉(xiāng),省級(jí)歷史文化名城,省民間文化藝術(shù)之鄉(xiāng),在文化上,蘭溪的美譽(yù)很多,且量大質(zhì)高、特色鮮明。
曾有專(zhuān)家這樣描述:在全國(guó)挑選十座保存完好的古城,蘭溪古城算得上其中一座;在全國(guó)挑選百個(gè)保存完好的古鎮(zhèn),蘭溪可以入圍三個(gè),分別是游埠、女埠和永昌;在全國(guó)挑選千個(gè)保存完好的古村,蘭溪至少有十個(gè),分別是諸葛八卦村、長(zhǎng)樂(lè)村、芝堰村、渡瀆村、虹霓山村、姚村等?,F(xiàn)在,蘭溪有1個(gè)國(guó)家歷史文化街區(qū)(天福山社區(qū))、8處全國(guó)重點(diǎn)文保單位、37處省級(jí)文保單位以及2600多處文物登錄點(diǎn),是全國(guó)祠堂最密集的地區(qū)之一,古書(shū)院數(shù)量居浙江首位。
蘭溪亦是名人的故鄉(xiāng),孕育了黃初平、貫休、范浚、金履祥、柳貫、章懋、方太古、唐龍、趙志皋、胡應(yīng)麟、李漁、郎靜山、曹聚仁、曹謨、倪汝霖、方增先等眾多歷史文化名人,僅歷代進(jìn)士就有230余人。
作為錢(qián)塘江上重要的“詩(shī)路門(mén)戶”,上至高官貴人、富家子弟、文朋詩(shī)客,下至商賈小販、掮客挑夫、平民百姓,或逗留,或?qū)TL,紛紛踏跡而來(lái),賞景賦詩(shī)。明代詩(shī)人唐龍稱(chēng)贊:“蘭花十里照春水,山鳥(niǎo)無(wú)聲香自幽?!贝筇泼舜魇鍌愐鞒骸皼鲈氯缑紥炝鵀?,越中山色鏡中看。蘭溪三日桃花雨,半夜鯉魚(yú)來(lái)上灘?!薄奥糜尾┲鳌庇暨_(dá)夫忍不住寫(xiě)下:“紅葉清溪水急流,蘭江風(fēng)物最宜秋?!辈湃A橫溢的李漁對(duì)家鄉(xiāng)的熱愛(ài)更是熾熱:看一眼不足為奇,看兩眼怦然心動(dòng),看三眼引人入勝。
據(jù)不完全統(tǒng)計(jì),在蘭溪留下足跡的詩(shī)人有400多位,蘭溪流傳著杜牧的《江上偶風(fēng)》、楊萬(wàn)里的《蘭溪解舟詩(shī)》、唐龍的《蘭溪八景》、李漁的《笠翁對(duì)韻》、郁達(dá)夫的《蘭溪棲真寺題壁》等詩(shī)篇名作近萬(wàn)首。
閑情偶寄溪山靜? 越中還說(shuō)李漁戲
現(xiàn)在大家都在談跨界,其實(shí)李漁早就是一個(gè)跨界先驅(qū)。他的頭銜有很多,詩(shī)人、小說(shuō)家、劇作家、戲劇理論家、出版家、美食家、園林藝術(shù)家、社會(huì)活動(dòng)家……有人笑言,李漁若是要給自己印名片,那名片必定得做成手風(fēng)琴狀。
李漁路、李漁戲劇、李漁茶、李漁家釀……穿越400余年,李漁儼然成了休閑蘭溪響當(dāng)當(dāng)?shù)某鞘写匀?。在蘭溪和金華市區(qū)(蘭溪隸屬金華),我們能在很多地方“遇見(jiàn)”李漁,劇院、博物館、公園里、馬路上、飯店里……“閑情偶寄”正是當(dāng)下之慕求,李漁無(wú)處不在。
一邊喝茶吃點(diǎn)心,一邊看戲聽(tīng)曲,古時(shí)看戲的場(chǎng)景,在蘭溪永昌街道夏李村重現(xiàn)。這是李漁的故鄉(xiāng),“李漁家班”重建的消息已不脛而走?!霸诖謇飫?chǎng)排練過(guò)好幾次呢,聽(tīng)著有意思?!毕睦畲宓拇迕駛兘蚪驑?lè)道。
李漁家班曾紅極一時(shí),他的家庭戲班出關(guān)入關(guān)各地巡演,名滿大江南北。蒲松齡曾在看完李漁家班的演出后寫(xiě)了一首題為《孫樹(shù)百先生壽日觀梨園歌舞》七言詩(shī),詩(shī)云:“簾幕深開(kāi)燈輝煌,氍毹暝鋪晝錦堂……藕粉搖曳錦繡裳,黃鵝跌舞帶柔長(zhǎng)……輕裾小袖奉霞觴,愿君遐齡齊山岡。”
此詩(shī)不僅形象生動(dòng)地描述了李漁家班的精彩演出,而且還寫(xiě)出了戲班行頭道具之齊整和舞臺(tái)燈光布景之華麗,說(shuō)明此時(shí)的李漁家班確實(shí)已非同一般。
行萬(wàn)里路,交八方友。賣(mài)文謀生的李漁,一不小心成了友遍天下的社交達(dá)人。李漁交游見(jiàn)于記載且有姓名的就有800余人。他的朋友圈十分廣泛,如超級(jí)大V曹寅、蒲松齡、吳偉業(yè)、錢(qián)謙益都是他的朋友,“海內(nèi)八大家”“燕臺(tái)七子”“西泠十子”中的大多數(shù)人與他都有交情。他也很接地氣,三教九流、販夫走卒都能成為他的知己。
有著“東方莎士比亞”美譽(yù)的李漁,是蘭溪特有的文化符號(hào)。
金華各縣市性格不同,李漁是蘭溪人性格的代言人:做事不徐不疾,克制、中庸、有教養(yǎng),能把生活過(guò)得精致有味。難怪李漁知音不斷,現(xiàn)代為甚。他早就告訴人們,追求名利但不能狂熱,要張弛有度,懂得生活的本真。
走進(jìn)夏李村,戲劇小鎮(zhèn)的打造已頗具規(guī)模:實(shí)景演繹笠翁對(duì)韻、打造斗戲非遺項(xiàng)目、開(kāi)發(fā)戲劇文創(chuàng)產(chǎn)品、展示十種曲經(jīng)典劇目,村中李漁故居、李氏宗祠、李漁壩等讓人流連。村口那座過(guò)路涼亭“且停亭”,堪稱(chēng)全國(guó)名亭,那副楹聯(lián)“名乎利乎道路奔波休碌碌,來(lái)者往者溪山清靜且停停”,就是李漁對(duì)夏李、對(duì)生活最好的注腳。
李漁是個(gè)寶藏,他喜歡庭園、美人、美食、花卉、戲曲歌舞……一切俗人喜歡的,他都喜歡,而且喜歡得深入、高級(jí)。
近年來(lái),蘭溪以“李漁文化”為起點(diǎn),組建李漁研究會(huì),深入研究李漁思想、挖掘李漁文化資源;舉辦“重返芥子園”系列活動(dòng),邀請(qǐng)國(guó)內(nèi)外藝術(shù)大咖齊聚蘭溪,共同交流傳承傳統(tǒng)文化;通過(guò)與中戲協(xié)合作承辦李漁戲劇文化節(jié),啟動(dòng)“跟著婺劇游蘭溪”等活動(dòng),有效提煉豐富李漁文化內(nèi)涵,推動(dòng)婺劇等傳統(tǒng)文化創(chuàng)造性傳承。
閑雅從容煙火氣? 今朝筆落促文旅
生活的本真不止詩(shī)和遠(yuǎn)方,還有當(dāng)下一磚一瓦、一碟一菜的煙火氣息, 這也是現(xiàn)代人在快節(jié)奏都市生活中對(duì)休閑、舒適生活的追求。蘭溪日子,在不徐不疾的節(jié)奏中找到了幸福的“密鑰”,就像李漁的《閑情偶寄》所講述的生活之道,在閑雅中追求品質(zhì),在智慧中追求進(jìn)步,在生活中追求情調(diào)。
“儂嗯干切當(dāng)些(你早飯吃什么)?”蘭溪人的問(wèn)候,總離不開(kāi)吃。
現(xiàn)在,到游埠喝早茶,是許多人熱衷的事。
枕水而眠的游埠鎮(zhèn),有著悠久歷史的江南第一早茶街依然保持著它原本的模樣。老茶客們點(diǎn)一杯茶,聊著家長(zhǎng)里短,隔壁還有幾個(gè)說(shuō)著吳儂軟語(yǔ)的姑娘,她們從360公里外的上海趕來(lái)?;蛟S很多人都沒(méi)想到,老一輩的生活習(xí)慣,竟成了古鎮(zhèn)旅游的特色。
近年來(lái),蘭溪圍繞深厚的歷史文化底蘊(yùn),精品化開(kāi)展文藝創(chuàng)作,品牌化提升節(jié)會(huì)能級(jí)、實(shí)體化打造文旅項(xiàng)目,全力推進(jìn)優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化的活化利用。
位于蘭溪市區(qū)蘭棉1957文創(chuàng)園的一面墻,它成為了眾多游客打卡拍照的網(wǎng)紅地。作為一個(gè)一直以來(lái)著力發(fā)展工業(yè)的城市,蘭溪現(xiàn)在對(duì)工業(yè)遺存進(jìn)行了現(xiàn)代化改造,并產(chǎn)生“蝶變”效應(yīng)。比如,蘭溪老蘭棉的廠區(qū)經(jīng)過(guò)改造,搖身一變成為蘭棉1957文創(chuàng)園,是蘭溪首個(gè)“城市記憶+工業(yè)遺存”主題的文創(chuàng)街區(qū),很多年輕人都喜歡去那里。蘭溪作為老工業(yè)基地,保存了許多上世紀(jì)八九十年代的城市面貌,吸引了不少劇組前來(lái)取景,如《銀河補(bǔ)習(xí)班》《親愛(ài)的,你在哪里》《中國(guó)起跑線》《喬家的兒女》等。
蘭溪日子,有戲有味。蘭溪是一座有味道的城市,如果說(shuō)文化、名人、古建、古鎮(zhèn)等是其中的幾味,那么第一層味道來(lái)自蘭溪的美食。自古以來(lái),來(lái)自五湖四海的商賈在此集散交易,不同的飲食文化在此交融、發(fā)展,加上蘭溪人對(duì)味道的包容,使得蘭溪在吸納來(lái)自五湖四海的風(fēng)味后,逐漸發(fā)展出獨(dú)特的烹制手法。蘭溪,有牛肉面、雞子馃、咸湯圓等美食300多種,曾榮獲全省首家“浙江美食名城”“中國(guó)美食文化名城”等稱(chēng)號(hào)。
今年6月,蘭溪市美食發(fā)展中心揭牌成立,這是目前浙江省為推廣地方美食設(shè)立的最高規(guī)格單位。而后,蘭溪美食十大工程、蘭溪牛肉面團(tuán)體標(biāo)準(zhǔn)及配套政策、蘭溪美食樣板店示范標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等一系列舉措及政策發(fā)布,將以特色美食餐飲打開(kāi)富民增收的新路子。
日升月落,人來(lái)人往,蘭溪人經(jīng)歷過(guò)帆檣林立的往昔,又回歸于一蔬一食的質(zhì)樸。蘭溪的過(guò)往,如空谷幽蘭,不掩芳華;蘭溪的未來(lái),如江河奔涌,遠(yuǎn)及四方。
Lanxi: Home to “Shakespeare of the East”
By? Tang? Xuyu
Located in the middle-western part of Zhejiang province, there is a small city called Lanxi. Honored by Emperor Huizong of the Song dynasty (860-1279) as “Tianxia Jiangnan” or Jiangnan (south of the Yangtze River) under the Heaven, it is known as “the first commercial port of Qiantang”, “the first county of the Republic of China” and “small Shanghai”. It is also the hometown of Li Yu (1611-1680), the “Shakespeare of the East”.
Lanxi, which towers on the shore of Lanjiang River and enjoys a beautiful natural landscape, is a place of profound culture and thriving trade.
Since its establishment in the year 674,the city has witnessed an everlasting culture boom: Confucianism, landscape, food, Chinese medicine ... Nowadays, by tapping into the thousand-year history and rich cultural resources, Lanxi is enhancing its image, recognition and reputation centering on the culture of Li Yu and developing in a culturally motivated pattern.
In the old town of Lanxi, next to the decorated archway beside the East Gate is an easily neglected, nameless old bookstore. Several small wooden stools of different heights are placed at the entrance, invariably occupied. The owner, Pan Zhiping, was born in 1970. He is also a collector with a collection ranging from little comic books to Lanxis local literature.
It is said that if you want to find books related to local history and culture, then old Pan is your man. Naturally, his small store has become a gathering place for culture enthusiasts and researchers, who are mostly members from a private organization called Lanxi Literature and History Research Association, including Pan himself. Every year, the association publishes two issues of Lanxi Literature and History. No wonder people say that “Lanxis culture is worth digging”.
If you name the top ten well-preserved ancient cities in China, according to expert opinion, Lanxi can be counted as one; if you choose the top 100 well-preserved ancient towns, three in Lanxi can be shortlisted; if you choose the top 1,000 well-preserved ancient villages, Lanxi has at least ten of them. Now, Lanxi has one National Historical and Cultural District (Tianfu Mountain Community), eight Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level, 37 Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the Provincial Level and more than 2,600 registration points for cultural relics. It is one of the areas where ancestral halls are distributed most densely nationwide, and has the largest number of ancient academies in Zhejiang.
Lanxi is also home to famous people in history and culture. According to some statistics, there are more than 400 poets who have visited Lanxi and generously praised the beautiful place with their poems.
Nowadays, everyone is talking about crossover — in fact, Li Yu has long been a crossover pioneer, for he held many “titles”: poet, novelist, playwright, theater theorist, publisher, gourmet, garden artist, social activist and so on. Today, over 400 years after his living age, Li Yu has clearly become the icon of Lanxi. Li Yu Road, Li Yu Drama, Li Yu Tea, Li Yu Home Brew ... traces of him are simply everywhere. Under his influence, the Lanxi folks are easy-going and laid-back, and they love enjoying their days in a leisure way, drinking tea and eating snacks while watching a play.
In recent years, Lanxi has taken “Li Yu culture” as the starting point, setting up Li Yu research associations, studying Li Yus thoughts and exploring relevant cultural resources in depth. A series of activities themed “Return to the Mustard Seed Garden” have been held, where domestic and foreign artists are invited to gather in Lanxi and exchange thoughts on traditional culture. Lanxi has also co-hosted Li Yu Drama Festival with the Chinese Theater Association, and launched activities including “Touring Lanxi with Wuju opera”, all of which have effectively enriched Li Yu culture, and promoted the creative inheritance of traditional culture such as Wuju opera.
Compared with the fast-paced urban life, the days in Lanxi are in slow motion, just like the way described by Li Yus Xianqing Ouji (Casual Expressions), leisurely and elegantly pursuing a wise, exquisite life of quality.
Today, going to Yubu town for morning tea is a new passion for many people. The well-preserved old street even attracts the fashionable Shanghai girls to come here and have a nice cup of morning tea, just as the old generations did. Recently, Lanxi has made great effort to revitalize its traditional culture by focusing on its profound historical and cultural heritage, encouraging first-rate literary creation, and creating culture tourism projects.
As a city that has been focusing on industrial development, Lanxi is now modernizing its industrial relics. For example, an old cotton factory in Lanxi has been transformed into Lanxi Cotton 1957 Cultural and Creative Park, which is the first cultural and creative neighborhood of Lanxi with the theme of “urban memories and industrial relics”, loved and frequented by many young people.
The days in Lanxi are also full of flavors. Since ancient times, merchants from all over the world have gathered and traded here, and different food cultures have been thus developed. In Lanxi, you can find more than 300 kinds of snacks, such as beef noodles, egg-stuffed pastry and salty glutinous rice balls. It has won the title of “Zhejiangs Famous City of Food” and “Chinas Famous City of Food”, the first-ever in Zhejiang.
In June 2021, the Lanxi Food Development Center was inaugurated, which is an agency of the highest order set up to promote local cuisine in Zhejiang. Later, a series of initiatives and policies were released, such as the top ten projects of Lanxi cuisine, the group standard and supporting policies of Lanxi beef noodles, the demonstration standards of Lanxi model restaurants, etc., which will become a new way to increase peoples income and improve their well-being as a whole.
