A New Exploration of the Cultural Connotation of Zhoujin Hall in Xiangzhou
The former site of Zhoujin Hall in Xiangzhou was built when Han Qi,the famous Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty,got to know Xiangzhou.There are many inscriptions in the hall and are well pre-served,and it is now the seventh batch of key cultural relics protection units of the country.Han Qi's choice of the term "Zhoujin"as the name of the hall was first a projection of his introspection,and then through the crea-tion of writings by Han Qi and his contemporaries literati,Zhoujin Hall became the carrier of his literary creation in pursuit of immortal fame.With the continuous continuation of individuals and time,the Zhoujin Hall has pro-duced new cultural connotations,such as the continuous enrichment of emotional tendencies as the name of Ci Pai,or as an image written in poetry.The number of poems,lyrics,and essays written around the Zhoujin Hall is considerable,and the analysis of the cultural meaning of the Zhoujin Hall in Xiangzhou and the attention paid to the cultural connotation of Zhoujin Hall can provide a glimpse into the typical scholar-bureaucrat mentality of Han Qi and other literati.
