如果每一个人都在休闲旅游中读书,那我们离真正的全民阅读就不再遥远。

民宿留住了美丽乡愁

2017年天气已然炎热起来的日子,笔者跟随杭州桐庐图书馆的送书流通车去该县富春江镇石舍村。转过山弯,阴阴的天飘下细雨,串串山花娇嫩欲滴。

心在美景中陶醉,路程就近了许多。等看到石舍村的牌子,竟不知雨何时已经停止。抬头看高耸的山峰上笼罩着一层雾气,氤氲间似梦似幻;而眼前一条古朴的青石板路犹如盈盈水袖,牵引我们进入清逸又充满野趣的村庄。

石舍村紧贴着山崖,山涧环村而下,幽邃得让人不由地想,在公路通车之前,这里该是何等的封闭:一条沿着溪流的山径可能就是与外界联系的唯一通道。的确,当我们漫步在村中小巷时,保存完好的几千平方米的明清建筑群让人惊讶,穿行其间,仿佛走进了历史民居博物馆。

石舍村有农家320户,903人。山民日出而作、日落而息,过着春耕夏种、秋收冬藏的简单生活,在秀美的山水中陶冶出淳朴、亲和的性情。在村中,大爷大妈们看见我们这些外来人总是微笑致意;每到一家老宅,主人们都热情地邀请我们入座,并端茶送水,使人宾至如归。

近年来,桐庐县经济发展迅速。从2013年起,县里立足实际,以“项目带动、试点先行、全力培育、打造品牌”的民宿旅游产业发展理念,制定出台相关政策,安排专项资金,鼓励和支持农民开办民宿,并启动“乡乡有民宿”计划,在金牛、环溪、荻浦等20个村进行民宿经济重点培育。

陪同我们的桐庐县文广新局副局长何璟介绍说,2014年,为了打造“美丽乡村”精品村,石舍村花大力气进行环境整治,并对整体环境进行了规划,如今已建石舍香樟、木舍、树屋等民宿7家。

图书让游客享受阅读乐趣

石舍村的民宿经济在快速发展。

童旭明毕业于浙江财经大学财政系,一直在上海、深圳从事金融和证券工作,之后,他赴加拿大木业协会学习木结构设计和建造。2013年春天,童旭明偶然走进石舍,这安详宁静的小村使他开怀,让他梦想。于是,他和志同道合的朋友们一起,先后建起了瑜伽静修营、国学院、石绘工作室、洒秀咖啡艺术空间等,开展文化活动。同时,他又接手石舍村的改造设计工作。经过三年的群策群力,如今石舍村的民宿如石舍方户、石头大院等,以本村人为主导,吸收外来设计和运营思路,已经营得有聲有色,普通的农家乐也在开张和升级中探索发展。童旭明设想:“要让城市的大学生、学者、志愿者,参与到乡村的改造中来,在乡村和城市的碰撞中,引导每个乡村走出自己的路子。”

“受童先生的启发,我们图书馆人也在思考,在倡导全民阅读、建设书香社会的今天,如何让图书的利用率最大化。”桐庐县图书馆馆长郑景说。

业内人士指出,“图书进民宿”是一次打破行业障碍的民宿与公共图书馆之间的合作,可以通过图书馆“出书”、民宿“出空间”的方式整合文化资源,让更多读者受惠。

基于这样的考虑,该县图书馆在与石舍村的所有民宿业主进行多方面沟通后,“首选体验富春江慢生活的7家民宿进行试点”。郑景说,我们给这7家民宿办了集体借阅证,视具体对象配送图书,比如石舍方户,主打田园风,就选取一些轻松、休闲的轻阅读类图书;而瑜伽静修营,则配以瑜伽锻炼、修身养性等为主的书籍。截至目前,县图书馆已经配送图书2000余册。事实上,旅行与阅读结合,让游客在享受沿途风景的同时,也享受到了阅读的乐趣。

当笔者把随意拍摄的石舍风景发到微信朋友圈,一下子获点赞无数,更有朋友留言:“个性化的装修,有意思的口号,醉心的阅读空间,文青聚集地啊!尽快抽时间向石舍进发。”

民宿书吧彰显社会效益

日前,浙江大学历史系教授杨树标慕名前去石舍村作体验游,想不到在乡村民宿的案头上看到了自己撰写的一种民国人物传记,一时间按捺不住内心的激动,在书的扉页写下:“‘石舍方户住一夜,深感此地优秀。”

上海市美术家协会水彩画工作委员会会员金钰琦,8年前重拾画笔,开启他职业水彩画家之旅。2016年春天,他和自由摄影师陈煦明经朋友引荐来到石舍村,就深深地被山村古朴、静谧的气息以及满天星斗所吸引。

“从此像有瘾一般,迷恋上了古村。时不时的就来这里闲逛、写生,创作出了一批以石舍村为主题的作品。”金钰琦说,“来了就不想走,最感动的是当地人非常亲切,走在村里,不认识的人也会向你微笑,我觉得这是一个非常有意思的村子。”

2017年1月8日,“‘石舍·幻摄影日记·水彩画展”在刚开业的洒秀咖啡艺术空间开展,展出的24幅水彩画,是金钰琦从半年多时间里创作的100多幅作品中精选出来的。同时展出的还有50多幅陈煦明的摄影作品。古村的深厚历史、文化底蕴和淳朴民风,激发出了他们的创作灵感,用画笔和快门勾勒出了石舍的美妙与隐逸。金钰琦告诉记者:“接下来,我准备创作比较大系列的石舍作品,让更多的人走进石舍,了解石舍。”

金钰琦还表示,“图书进民宿”的理念很好,今年暑假他想把他的私塾办到石舍村来,教在这里和来这里的孩子们画水彩。“‘带着水彩去旅行是我追求的生活方式,也希望教会更多的人用水彩和绘画,用这种特别的方式记录旅途中美好的点滴。”金钰琦说,“民宿中放置连环画,也是一个很好的想法,让游客回味儿时的记忆。”

当采访行将结束时,郑景接到钟山乡文化站站长范伟的电话,说是吴宅村的民宿映山雅舍老板吴丹得知县图书馆能送书进民宿,希望自己也可以成为这一活动的受惠者。“我的民宿大概4月能开业,平时也喜欢看书,家里有400多册藏书。”吴丹说,“书籍能提升民宿的档次与品位,引来更多人气。”endprint

民宿作為一种新的生活方式,让居民记住乡愁,带动文化消费。书吧+民宿的模式体现了公共阅读服务下沉,有利于推进全民阅读,也为乡村文化复兴提供了一条探索路径。

Rural Tourism in Tonglu: Books and Village Inns

By Wan Zhi

One chilly spring day in 2017, I was riding with a mobile library to Stone House Village in a remote town in Tonglu, a scenic county about 80 kilometers southwest of Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province. The clouds were thick, heavy and low. On the way to the village, it began to snow. We saw a plum woods blossoming in red. Pretty soon, we reached the village.

The houses snuggled at the foot of high cliffs. A narrow river bubbled in a deep valley beside the village. I couldnt help but wonder how reclusive the village was before a highway connected it to the outside world.

Thanks to the remoteness, the village is like an open museum of ancient houses built in the Ming and the Qing architectural styles. The population is less than 1,000. Life here is simple. Since 2013, the county government has been implementing a development plan for rural villages to develop green industries. Stone House Village decided upon tourism. In 2014, the village went through a restoration project. There are now seven small cottage inns in the village.

Tong Xuming is the man who first saw the potentialities of the village. A graduate of Zhejiang Finance University, he worked in finance and securities in Shenzhen and Shanghai for years before he went to Canada to study architecture. He tumbled upon Stone House Village in 2013. He fell in love with it. He started a small yoga business in this Utopian village far away from the madding world. Then he was engaged to formulate an overall development blueprint for the village. Over three years, he worked hard. A village tourism industry materialized. Scholars, college students and volunteers from cities have joined hands to help the villages redevelopment.

Zheng Jing, dean of Tonglu County Library, thought the library would play a small role in the villages tomorrow. Books could find their way into the lobbies and rooms of these village inns.

The county library has shipped books to the village many times. So far, the library has sent over 2,000 books to the village. Books about leisure are for the village inns. For the yoga house, health and fitness books are a must.

As more and more tourists are coming to the village, books have become a big attraction. Yang Shubiao, a professor of history with Zhejiang University, came to the village to look around. By chance he saw a book he had written about a personage of the Republican years in the first half of the 20th century. The professor was surprised.endprint

Jin Yuqi, a watercolor artist based in Shanghai, resumed painting eight years ago. In the spring of 2016, he and a freelance photographer named Chen Xuming came to Stone House Village. He fell in love with the serenity of the mountains and the dazzling stars he cant see in the night sky of Shanghai. The watercolor artist and the photographer frequented the village. In January 2017, they held an exhibition at a café in the village. Jin exhibited some works he handpicked from over one hundred watercolor paintings he had created in and around the village. Chen exhibited over 50 photographs. The history, culture, tradition, and lifestyle of the ancient village were well highlighted in these artworks. Jin is planning to do a big series of works about the village.

I chatted with Jin. He said he embraced the idea of bringing books to the village. The watercolorist was going to start a painting class in Stone House Village in the summer of 2017. He planned to teach village children and visiting children to paint watercolors.

Toward the end of our brief visit, Zheng Jing, the dean of the library, got a call from a colleague who works at a nearby rural cultural center. The colleague said that a village inn operator, after learning the county library could stock books in village inns, would like to have books for his business. The owner said his business was to open in April and he had a small library of 400 books. He wanted more.

Books and rural village tourism are by no means strange bed fellows. They come together to help the public read more. The combination may also help culture play a role in rural redevelopment that is going on across the province.endprint
