Fortune-telling in Taihu Ancient Town _ Is the fortune-telling in Taihu Ancient Town accurate?

Then I shared my travel story. Tongli Ancient Town in Jiangsu Province is very famous, and it is also the first ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River that I visited many years ago. Since then, I have fallen in love with ancient town tour.

Tongli Ancient Town in Jiangsu Province is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, a thousand-year-old town west of the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is like a pearl embedded between the five lakes. The criss-crossing waterways divide the town into seven small islands and 49 stone bridges with different shapes, connecting the ancient town into one.

Under the influence of traditional culture, there are many talents in Tongli in history. From the Northern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, there were 1 champion, 45 scholars and 90 civil and military scholars. For thousands of years, the cultivation of poetry and calligraphy and the fragrance of pen and ink have not only created the unique talents of fellow villagers, but also influenced them to make different life choices. If you advance, you will help the world; if you retreat, you will cultivate yourself.

Confucianism pays attention to saving the world, being enterprising, being responsible for the world and being moral. Confucianism and Taoism, one enters and one retreats, one takes and one gives up. Perhaps these two kinds of ideological and cultural values are integrated into people's behavior in the same place and into their living habits.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the rapid development of farming economy gathered popularity for Tongli, and the ancient towns became increasingly prosperous, among which surnames such as Chen, Ren, Jin and Yang were the most prosperous. These big families abide by etiquette, stress harmony and strive for progress, which is widely recognized and respected by local people. Today, there are still traces of their lives in the ancient town. In the depths of Gu Xiang paved with blue bricks, there is a well-decorated Jiangnan garden, which is neither rich nor unassuming, just like an ancient ordinary family. However, this small garden, which covers an area of less than ten acres, has now become a world-famous cultural heritage. The bricks, tiles, stones and trees here all convey the ancient oriental philosophy to the world.

The owner of this garden is Ren Lansheng. During Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, the official was Feng Ying, who was a soldier. When he was in charge of Anhui, he was diligent and loved the people. Just when his official career was smooth sailing, his political opponents denounced Ren Lansheng and accused him of corruption and bribery. Empress Dowager Cixi was furious when she heard that she wanted to criticize Ren Lansheng face to face. Whether to clear his guilt, argue and excuse himself, or bear the burden of humiliation and respond silently, Ren Lansheng is undecided in the face of personal life and death choices.

At this point, the left official friends and Ren Lan had an idea. Empress Dowager Cixi is looking for Ren Lansheng. Now that we are talking, we need to be warned. So, when Peng Yulin learned about it, he immediately told Ren Lansheng the news, telling Ren Lansheng to speak only eight words,' Be loyal to the country, retreat and make amends'.

Ren Lansheng felt that what his friend said really made sense. Too much rebuttal will only anger Cixi, who may lose his life in an instant. And blind silence may also be regarded as the default of the crime. I figured it out. In the face of Cixi's scolding, Ren Lansheng only responded with "yes". Looking at Ren Lansheng's attitude, Cixi's anger slowly subsided. Finally, he asked Ren Lansheng what you think should be done. Ren Lansheng replied: "I am loyal to my thoughts, and I have made up for it." In just eight words, Ren Lansheng's life was saved. After being demoted to the people, Ren Lansheng returned to his hometown and began to build a "retirement garden", which showed his determination to reflect on himself and save himself.

Heroes have suffered a lot since ancient times and have never been too handsome. In other words, people who do great things, people who pursue great things, you may have to be prepared to meet life setbacks. Life can't be smooth sailing, especially when you want to do something, you are bound to make a difference. Surprisingly, just one year after the completion of the "retirement garden", many accusations of impeaching Ren Lansheng were found to be false accusations. So, he was reinstated. After that, Ren Lansheng went to fight floods and protect the people along the Yellow River. Once, when I was patrolling the embankment, I accidentally fell off my horse and the treatment was ineffective. I died in the line of duty and fulfilled my promise.

The "retirement garden" retains the retirement beliefs and feelings of fellow villagers. Times have changed, so have stars. When Jiangnan town embraced modern civilization with a more generous mind, the wisdom of life left by ancestors brought new enlightenment to this ancient town.
