Jieyang Impressions 2: From City to Village, A Moving Conversation | 28 Dec 2022

28 December 2022. Driving from Jieyang city to Paotai Town.To understand a piece of land, you can't stay in the city—you have to go deep into its towns and villages. Casual footage by the filmmaker of Masters in the Forbidden City and Every Treasure Tells a Story, but what the lens captures are moving landscapes and moving conversations. ——— Outside the window, Jieyang recedes. The city fades; villages approach. The Rongjiang River glimmers under the winter sun—farmland, factories, new houses lining both banks. Someone says: when you travel or study in Europe or America, if you really want to understand a place, don't just go to Paris or New York—go to its towns and villages. The same applies in China. Paotai Town arrives. This is the geographic center of the three cities—Jieyang, Chaozhou, Shantou—known as the "Pearl of Chaoshan". Five kilometers southeast lies Fengmen Ancient Path—a gorge between Shigui Peak and Dajian Peak in the Sangpu Mountains, once a vital passage through the region. There's a 600-year-old banyan tree, a perennial spring called "Fairy Spring". Further ahead is "Double Creek Bright Moon," one of Jieyang's Eight Ancient Sights, where the north and south branches of the Rongjiang converge—on Mid-Autumn nights, two moons can be seen reflected in the water. Su Shi once inscribed "Calm Seas" here. ——— Inside the car, topics flow. A university professor specializing in human geography becomes the trip's most entertaining narrator. He talks about Paotai's geography—why this town sits at the center of three cities. He tells legends of Fengmen Ancient Path—how He Yeyun, a Yuan dynasty Taoist, once cultivated immortality here. He shares stories of Double Creek Bright Moon—how seven boulder piles were sunk in the river during the Ming dynasty to ward off pirates. Others chime in with gems. Someone notes that the Chaoshan dialect has 18 initials, 61 finals, and 8 tones—Mandarin has only 4—so outsiders can't understand a word. Another mentions over 15 million Chaoshan people live overseas, spanning more than 100 countries. A third says Chaoshan merchants are the only Chinese merchant group, besides Huizhou and Shanxi merchants, with an unbroken 500-year history. ——— Stitch these together, and it becomes a kind of essay film. City outlines, village textures, passing landscapes, human geography anecdotes, witty remarks—they follow no necessary order, just appearing and receding in the flow of this journey. ——— Where do we begin to understand a piece of land? We begin with its cities, and with its villages. We begin with its landscapes, and with its people's words. We begin with the history written in gazetteers, and with the legends that live on tongues. Paotai Town wasn't the destination, just a midpoint. But this ride already held many faces of Chaoshan. #外面的世界很精彩 #慢下来看世界 #把生活拍出电影感 #潮汕 #市井烟火气 #发现生活发现美 #找个小城走走停停 #城市漫游 #应该从哪里开始了解一片土地 #我拍到的治愈画面 #听见你的声音 #揭阳 #炮台镇 #风门古径 #双溪明月 #OutsideWorldIsWonderful #SlowDownSeeTheWorld #LifeAsCinema #Chaoshan #StreetLife #DiscoverLifeDiscoverBeauty #SmallTownWandering #CityRoaming #WhereToBeginUnderstandingALand #HealingViews #HearingYourVoice #Jieyang #PaotaiTown #FengmenAncientPath #DoubleCreekBrightMoon #WanderingWithYeJun #YeJunsWorld #NotesOfAWanderer #WhereToBegin 2022年12月28日，从揭阳市区去炮台镇。要了解一片土地，不能只在市区，要深入它的小镇和乡村。《我在故宫修文物》《如果国宝会说话》导演随手拍，但镜头里装的，是移动的风景和移动的聊天。 ——— 车窗外，揭阳在后退。城市渐远，村镇渐近。榕江的水在冬日的阳光下泛着光，两岸是农田、厂房、新建的民居。有人说，你去欧洲美洲旅游或留学，如果想深入了解一个地方，不能只去巴黎纽约，要去各个国家的小镇和乡村。在中国，也是如此。 炮台镇到了。这里是揭阳、潮州、汕头三市的几何中心，素有"潮汕明珠"之称。镇东南5公里处，有风门古径——桑浦山脉的石龟峰与大尖峰之间的峡谷，是古时进出桑浦山区的交通要冲。古径有六百多年树龄的古榕，有常年不竭的仙泉井。更远处，是揭阳古八景之一的"双溪明月"，榕江南北河在此汇合出海，中秋之夜可见双月奇景，苏轼曾为此地题写"海不扬波"。 ——— 车上，话题在流动。一位主讲人文地理的大学老师，是此行最有趣的"解说员"。他讲炮台的地缘：为什么这里是潮汕三市的中心？他讲风门古径的传说：元末何野云（虱母仙）曾在此修仙，至今还有野云岩。他讲双溪明月的典故：明代天启年间，为防倭寇，江中填下七堆巨石，叫七星石。 其他人也时有妙语。有人说，潮汕话有18个声母、61个韵母、8个声调，普通话只有4个声调，所以外地人根本听不懂。有人说，海外潮汕人有1500多万，遍布世界100多个国家和地区。还有人说，潮商是除徽商、晋商外唯一没有断代的华人商帮，崛起至今五百多年。 ——— 把这些组接在一起，就像一部散文电影。 城市的轮廓、乡村的肌理、车窗外的风景、人文地理的趣谈、人们的妙语连珠……它们没有必然的逻辑，只是在这趟移动中，依次出现，又依次退去。 ——— 我们从何处开始了解一片土地？ 从它的城市开始，也从它的乡村开始。 从它的风景开始，也从它的人言开始。 从它写在方志里的历史开始，也从它活在人们口中的传说开始。 炮台镇不是终点，只是这一天的中途。 但这一路，已经装下了潮汕的很多面。 #我在故宫修文物#如果国宝会说话 #慢下来看世界 #把生活拍出电影感 #找个小城走走停停 #潮汕 #人间烟火 #应该从哪里开始了解一片土地 #我拍到的治愈画面#分享给有艺术细胞的你
