The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 262
Jinse has no end in fifty strings, a string of thoughts and a string of years.

Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of a butterfly, and Wang Dichun cares for the cuckoo.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea, and the blue sky is warm and the jade smokes.

Can this feeling be remembered? It was just at a loss.

——"Jin Se" Li Shangyin

……

After Yang Yichan left, Bai Fu was depressed for several days.Irritable and depressed, it is difficult to dispatch.It's not the way to go on like this, we have to find something to do.

Early this morning, Bai Fu came to the Hongwen Hall in Wubenfang Guozijian.I thought that the sound of books and the deep courtyard here might calm my chaotic heart.But whether it is reciting or practicing calligraphy, it will not help.

Frustrated, Bai Fu dropped his pen and walked out of Hongwen Hall.Walk freely, wherever you go.I'm not familiar with Chang'an Baifuben, and Wubenfang is big, and I don't know where I went after going around three times.

Turning the corner, in the depths of the alley, there is an ancient temple, away from the hustle and bustle.Bai Fu walked into the temple without thinking.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, my eyes lit up. In the courtyard in front of the main hall of the temple, there was a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, a crown like an umbrella, and a trunk so thick and huge that several people could hug it.Under the tree, there is a stone table and four stone benches for people to rest their feet.

"Apricot leaves are withered and duck feet are yellow, and Weiliu smoke cages are emerald silk."In autumn and winter, the golden ginkgo leaves are like flying flowers all over the sky, falling lightly, sprinkled all over the courtyard.

Apricot rain is all over the sky, yellow flowers are everywhere, Bai Fu is dressed in white, and he is alone, as if stepping into the void.

Bai Fuchan's heart suddenly arose, he was lonely and quiet, half a step into emptiness.

……

I don't know how long it took before Bai Fu woke up like a dream.He bowed deeply to the giant ginkgo tree.

After Bai Fu paid homage to the Daxiong Hall, he looked at the meditation rooms on both sides. There were one or two pilgrims copying scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha.

The meditation room is simple and simple, and a landscape bonsai on the wooden frame in the middle attracted Bai Fu's attention.

This bonsai chooses Moshi as the main mountain. The main peak is surrounded by cliffs, cliffs volley in the sky, steep plank roads, and the foot of the mountain is empty, forming a karst cave.The mountains of the second mountain are flat and steep, and the rocks and inkstones on the beach are naturally facing the water.

Stars are falling on the fishing boats in the water, white sails are dotted, the autumn water is long and the sky is long, and the sunset is lonely.

Across the river and far away from the mountains, there is a small wooden pavilion on the mountain. In the pavilion, it seems that a woodcutter meets a fairy, and the world is changed after a bad game of chess.

Bai Fu suddenly felt that he was a fisherman among the mountains and rivers, casting nets to cut wood, idle and reclusive, happy and happy.

Such a bonsai has a profound artistic conception. It can actually shrink the mountains and rivers, and the world in miniature. You can visit famous mountains and rivers and enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains without leaving home.

During his trip to Luoyang, Bai Fu was fascinated by the mountains and rivers.From the bonsai, it can be seen that there must be an expert in the temple.Bai Fu was overjoyed, and quickly walked into the backyard of the temple.

Sure enough, the backyard was scattered with stones of various colors, flowers and trees, knives, files and axes for carving and cutting, and many semi-finished landscape bonsai.

A bonsai craftsman, wearing a felt hat and craftsman's uniform, is squatting on the ground and burying his head in selecting materials.

Bai Fu stepped forward, gave a deep salute, and said, "I'm not talented, I've met my senior!"

The man was slightly taken aback, turned around, and looked up.The two exclaimed at the same time: "It's you!"

……

It turned out that this person was Dugu Xiaozhong!

"Why are you here?" The two asked at the same time.Then he burst out laughing, the previous embarrassment was swept away, as if he had been friends for many years.

Dugu Xiao stood up again, saluted with a smile, and said, "Heizi please!", motioning Bai Fu to speak first.It turned out that when playing chess that day, white played against black.

Bai Fu replied and thanked: "I passed by this place today and saw ginkgo blossoms blooming brightly, so I walked in. Later, I saw a wonderful landscape bonsai in the Zen room, and thought that there must be an expert here, so I asked the fairy about it. come."

Dugu Xiao said softly: "The pot of landscape bonsai Bai Shaoxia saw was made by my master, named 'Shenyou', and it is also his proudest work in his life. Bai Shaoxia can comprehend the artistic conception in it, and if the master knows it, he must become a confidant. "

Bai Fu wondered, "The chess master also knows about bonsai?"

Dugu Xiao was dumb, and said angrily, "I also have several masters, okay!"

Hearing this, Bai Fu scratched his head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't blame me for being rude."

Dugu Xiaozhong raised the tip of his nose, and made a playful expression that was not surprising.

Bai Fu asked: "Miss Dugu, why are you here?"

Dugu Xiao said softly: "This is the temple supported by our Dugu family. Whenever I have mixed feelings and don't want to play chess, I will come here to clean up for a few days, make bonsai, and refresh my mind."

Bai Fu wondered: "Miss Dugu also has times of upset?"

Dugu Xiaozhong originally wanted to give Bai Fu a big roll of his eyes, but for some reason, when his thoughts changed, his face turned red up to the ears.

Bai Fu wanted to make a joke, but forgot that the opposite was a very shy girl.Seeing this, he hurriedly braked and stopped, and changed the subject and asked: "I learned a lot about mountains and rivers with the Taifu, but I didn't expect that this landscape bonsai can move the sky and shrink the earth, and the landscape can be transformed into a painting, which is amazing.

Can you tell me about the knowledge and methods in this? "

Dugu Xiaozhong is a master in this way, so he readily agreed.She took Bai Fu, pointed to the bonsai in the courtyard, and started talking pot by pot:

"Bonsai, as the name suggests, is the landscape in the pot. It is called 'a silent poem, a three-dimensional painting'. It is usually divided into two categories: landscape bonsai and stump bonsai. Stump bonsai is what we usually call 'bonsai'.

Compared with tree stump bonsai, the production process of landscape bonsai is more complicated. Mountain rocks are used as the main material, with trees, grass and other accessories. , It is expected that the wing will make people feel immersive and make people think.

Although the circle of appreciation of landscape bonsai is small, it is the favorite of scholar-bureaucrats.In addition to the craftsmen and landscape painters who stacked mountains and rocks, many scholar-bureaucrats in the court were themselves masters in making bonsai.

When making bonsai by stacking mountains and rocks, it is not only a process of drawing the world into a painting, but also a process of abandoning distracting thoughts and meditating alone.Therefore, satisfactory works often reveal the reflection, perception and epiphany of life.Individual masterpieces can even transcend form and be at ease.

Look at this pot, this pot is called 'Jiangshan Shuqingfeng', which is created by using vertically textured thousand-layer stones and taking the artistic conception of emptying the stone forest.There are many large and small peaks and stones, and the main peak dominates, forming the beauty of thousands of mountains and peaks competing for beauty.

The mountain peaks are like long swords piercing the air, interspersed with each other in size and against each other.There is a small piece of forest in the mountain peak, contrasting with the steepness of the mountain, it is lonely and unruly, just like the lotus peak of Huashan Mountain, it is lonely and out of the ordinary.Take the artistic conception of "all the birds fly high, and the lone cloud goes leisurely alone";

The foot of the slope at the bottom of the mountain has changed slightly, and the deep caves are used to increase the sense of precipitousness and mystery, which makes people have the desire to find out;
On the green water and blue waves outside the cave, there is a vast mist. Fishermen cast nets to catch fish, as the saying goes: "White Ping Ferry on the Yellow Reed Bank, and Red Polygonum Beach on the Green Willow Bank. Egrets and sand gulls. Proudly killing thousands of households in the world, illiterate smoke waves fishing for old people."

Bai Fu looked at it, full of praise, and said: "What a proud man who kills thousands of households in the world, who can't read and write smoke waves fishing for old people!"

Bai Fu looked around and saw that there were so many excellent works, he couldn't help asking: "Which of these pots are made by girls, let me see them."

Dugu Xiaozhong hesitated for a moment, and replied embarrassedly: "The bonsai here are all my works in the past few months."

Bai Fu solemnly cupped his hands and cupped his fists and said, "Girl has a ravine in her chest, if she doesn't let a man's eyebrows, even a man can't match her!"

Dugu Xiaozhong's beautiful pupils flashed, and he said in surprise: "Can I ask Shaoxia Bai for advice."

Bai Fu walked to a bonsai place, said with a smile: "If I can tell the artistic conception of this bonsai, can you give it to me?"

Dugu Xiao's beautiful eyes are shining like summer flowers, and she said with a smile: "A word from a gentleman. Please!"

Bai Fu's voice was deep and deep, and he said: "This basin is made of alabaster. Alabaster contains quartz components. Miss, you can make full use of its black and white stripes, clouds and stars to create a school of spring and cold. Warm, magnificent scenery of melting snow into rivers.

"The Yinling Mountains in Zhongnan are beautiful, and the snow is floating in the clouds."The main peak is steep and steep, and the snow on the top of the peak has not disappeared, making the mountain more sharp, cold and lonely.Only the green cypresses in the mountains are lush and lush, and the fairy shadows are erratic.

The snow melts and the ice disappears in Xiling, there are suspected waterfalls flying down in the canyons, and the flowing springs are whimpering, ethereal and clear, visible but unattainable.Wandering here, Canggu is silent.

The road up the mountain is winding and rugged, making it even more like a fairyland in the wilderness. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and wanderers are fettered.

The Ministry of Industry and Engineering of Du said: "The window contains the snow of thousands of years in the Xiling Mountains, and the gate is anchored by a boat of thousands of miles in Dongwu."

......"

Dugu Xiaozhong suddenly stopped Bai Fu's conversation, and said: "This bonsai is more than ethereal, but not detached. If you want to show that the owner of the bonsai is noble and arrogant, awe-inspiring and inviolable, how would you arrange it?"

Bai Fu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "It's cold, there are few people, and there is no sound. On the river with heavy snow, a small boat, with a faint green coir, is alone on the river."

Liu Zongyuan, a great literary master of later generations, wrote the artistic conception described by Bai Fu into a poem, which has been passed down through the ages:

"Birds fly away in a thousand mountains, and people disappear in thousands of miles. A lone boat and hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow."

……

There was a layer of mist in Dugu Xiaozhong's eyes, and he couldn't bear to let it go for a long time.

　　When the snow is so cold, who will set up fishing reels.I didn't know I was in the painting, but I faced the river alone.

　　It's not necessarily a fish swallowing a grain, but a heron as a pair.The wind blows the sand and the sand is bright, the sky is wide and the water is murmuring.

　　Going back to the side of the village, it seems that the cable has lost its pile.Whoever visits the old in the middle of the night pushes the moon and leans against the canopy window.

　　From the twelfth lunar month to Panzhou, the cold layer freezes.Try to explore the plum blossoms, and break off the southern branches.
