　　Dear friends

　　Hello everyone! Welcome to Fenghuang ancient city. Phoenix is a good placewith beautiful scenery and many places of interest. It has always been a populartourist attraction. The city's ancient famous buildings, Ming and Qing ancientbuildings and stone streets are still elegant. Outside the city are NanhuashanNational Park and the ancient city of huangsiqiao built in the Tang Dynasty,which are well preserved so far. Phoenix is not only beautiful scenery, but alsooutstanding people. Xiong Xiling, the first cabinet premier of the Republic ofChina, Shen Congwen, a famous writer, and Huang Yongyu, a famous painter, areall from Phoenix. More than ten films and TV plays, such as border town,Xiaoxiao xiangnu, and the story of suppressing bandits in Xiangxi, have alsobeen shot here.

　　Well, the place where we are now is the former residence of Mr. ShenCongwen, a famous writer and archaeologist in China. Shen Congwen's formerresidence was built by his grandfather Shen Hongfu during the reign of Tongzhiin the Qing Dynasty. On December 28, 1902, Mr. Shen Congwen was born in thiscourtyard with the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and spent hischildhood and adolescence here. In 1919, Mr. Shen came to Beijing alone andbegan his hard career as a writer. He created a series of literary works, suchas border town and Xiangxi, and soon became famous in the Chinese literaryworld, almost as well as Mr. Lu Xun, who was more than 20 years older thanhim.

　　After the 1950s, Mr. Shen devoted himself to the study of ancient Chinesecostumes, and wrote his masterpiece the study of ancient Chinese costumes.Shen's works and character show a strong consistency, natural, honest, modest,diligent, broad and dignified. Mr. Shen's works of more than 5 million words arethe world's literary treasures, leaving valuable historical materials for futuregenerations to study the old China and the old Xiangxi.

　　This is the former residence of Xiong Xiling, the first Prime Minister ofthe Republic of China. On July 23, 1870, Xiong Xiling was born in this smallbungalow. As a young man, Xiong was worried about the country and the people.When he was 9 years old, his private school teacher wrote a couplet "plantingseveral potted flowers to explore the spring and autumn news". Xiong immediatelywrote the second couplet "digging a pool of water to see the sky and the earth"It's been told a good story.

　　After he became famous, Mr. Xiong actively advocated the reform. He oncefounded Xiang Bao, Shiwu school and Changde West Road normal school, which werethe backbone of the Reform School of Hunan and Tan Sitong. Later, Mr. Xiong wasappointed as the financial supervisor of the three eastern provinces, ReheDutong, chief financial officer, etc. In 1913, he became the first PrimeMinister of the Republic of China. At that time, the government was known as the"talent cabinet" by the public opinion circles. Later, because Mr. Xiong opposedYuan Shikai's dictatorship, he was forced by Yuan Shikai to dissolve the cabinetand resign as prime minister. On December 5, 1937, Mr. Xiong died in Hong Kongat the age of 67.

　　Now you can see the Hongqiao bridge, which was built in the seventh year ofHongwu in Ming Dynasty and repaired in the ninth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty.The original stilted Pavilion on the bridge deck was demolished in 1956 due tothe construction of the highway, and the original Pavilion and the memorialarchways on both sides were demolished. Under the bridge, you can see a row ofold Diaojiaolou with a history of 100 years. The Diaojiaolou is the place wherePhoenix traditional sports show dragon boat race.

　　You follow the official road of that year to Shen Congwen's cemetery. Hereis an inscription written by Mr. Huang Yongyu in memory of his cousin ShenCongwen: "if a soldier does not die in battle, he will return to his hometown."As you can see, Mr. Shen's graveyard has no raised mound, only a five coloredstone standing in its original state. There is no carved fence and jadeornaments, only a stone path for grazing and firewood, which symbolizes that Mr.Shen will always be with the ordinary people.

　　Half of Mr. Shen's ashes are scattered in the Tuojiang River in front ofhim, which is usually buried under this colorful stone. He is like the TuojiangRiver in front of him, which originates from the earth and returns to the earth;he is like the colorful stone accompanying him, which originates from the earthand returns to the earth!

　　On the front of the five colored stone as a tombstone is engraved Mr.Shen's handwriting: "if you think according to me, you can understand me; if youthink according to me, you can know people." Yes, it is such a belief that makesMr. Shen abandon his military career of promotion and wealth, and choose a hardlife of literary career. It is such a belief that makes Mr. Shen wave his greatpen like a rafter

　　The Xiangxi people he knew were introduced to the whole world. On the backof the tombstone, there is an inscription of Mr. Shen's wife and sister, Ms.Zhang Yunhe: "if you don't break it, you'll get stars; if you're kind and kind,you'll be the only child." These four sentences sum up Mr. Shen's life.

　　Well, that's all for my explanation. I hope Phoenix can give you a goodimpression, we have the opportunity to get together Phoenix, thank you!!
