The Poetic Affinity of Xiangyang

Why do literati and scholars become so enraptured by Xiangyang?Xiangyang cultural scholar Fang Li explained that Xiangyang has always been a strategic transportation hub,with the Han River running through the city.Ancient literati who wandered or served in government often passed through here,and the beauty of the local mountains and rivers inspired their creative inspiration.Xiangyang is also the birthplace of Jingchu culture and the hometown of the Three Kingdoms culture,offering much to contemplate and mourn over.This includes famous poets like Li Bai,Wang Wei,and Du Fu.

The Integration of Poetry and Tourism

Currently,"following poems to travel"has become a new travel trend favored by tourists.Fang Li believes that this trend stems from tourists'identification with China's excellent traditional culture.Poems carry historical moments that are frozen in time,but the emotions they express transcend time and space.The poems of ancients can resonate with modern people,and modern people can also"communicate"with the ancients through poetry.

She considers that a single great poem is enough to give a site"eternal life."With a history of over2800years of city construction,Xiangyang's rich historical and cultural heritage is a blessing left by our ancestors.

It is understood that to activate cultural resources related to poetry,Xiangyang is currently systematically sorting out poetic cultural resources,integrating literary and historical heritage with cultural and tourism landscapes and historical sites,and incorporating poetic culture into the landscape design.By combining relevant poetic works,the historical stories of Xiangyang ancient city,along the Xiangshui River,are told,forming a vibrant atmosphere of loving poetry,reciting poetry,and composing poetry.

（北欧时报综合报道）漫步在襄阳的街头巷尾，从建筑到风景名胜，诗词无处不在。襄阳，这座有着2800多年建城史的城市，以其丰富的历史文化，吸引了无数游客。

管家巷的诗意复原

10月11日下午，来自13个国家的15家海外华文媒体记者沿着襄阳古城墙，行至管家巷。这里自古便是商贾云集、学府林立之地。襄阳坚持“修旧如旧”，对管家巷原建复原，并将诗词文化融入街区。

如今，管家巷的白墙、地砖上，镶嵌着与襄阳有关的诗行；文创店里，融入诗词元素的冰箱贴、明信片、印章等也颇受欢迎。不少游客身穿古装、手持团扇，沉浸式感受“荆楚浪漫”。

岘首山的诗词文化

襄阳岘首山，更是被当地人称为“诗词之山”。岘首山文化旅游景区内，晋太傅羊祜祠、岘首亭、岘山亭、堕泪碑、杜甫衣冠冢等历史文化建筑皆与诗词有关。

岘首山文化旅游景区负责人12日介绍，该景区是以还原历史的设计手法融合现代旅游的模式，在原有的历史文化基础上，融入符合现代旅游功能的元素与空间。欧阳修所写《岘山亭记》，现刻于岘首亭北坡；而堕泪碑篆刻的是西晋文学家李兴的《羊公之碑文》，对羊祜生平、功绩、品德进行高度概括性的描述和评价。

文人墨客的襄阳情结

文人墨客为何如此醉心襄阳？襄阳文化学者方莉表示，襄阳自古是交通要塞，汉水穿城而过，古代文人漫游、宦游常常途经于此，这里的山川之美激发了文人的创作灵感。襄阳还是荆楚文化发祥地和三国文化之乡，有古可怀、有英雄可凭吊，让人不禁驻足吟诗，其中包括李白、王维、杜甫等著名诗人。

诗词与旅游的融合

当下，“跟着诗词去旅行”成游客喜爱的出行新风尚。方莉表示，“跟着诗词去旅行”，实际上出于游客对中华优秀传统文化的认同。诗词承载的历史瞬间是凝固的，但所表达的情感是穿越时空的，古人的诗词能让今人产生共鸣，今人也可以通过诗词和古人“对话”。

她认为，一篇好诗足以让一个景点“永生”，襄阳坐拥2800多年建城史，丰富的历史文化是老祖宗留下的福祉。

据了解，当前为做好诗词文化资源活化工作，襄阳正系统梳理诗词文化资源，结合文旅景观、历史遗迹，将诗词文化融入景观设计。结合有关诗词作品，讲好襄阳古城、襄水沿线等地的历史故事，形成爱诗、吟诗、作诗的浓厚氛围。

跟随诗词，来一场襄阳之旅，感受“荆楚浪漫”，体验这座古城的独特魅力。
