Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 890 Flow Cup Pool

Zhou Zhi explained to his friends: "The first couplet comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Gongye Chang". The Master said: 'I have never seen a rigid person.' .'"

"This is the source of the famous idiom, "If you don't have desires, you can be strong."

"Confucius meant that the attribute of fortitude should be aimed at justice rather than private domain. Only when one can persevere in order to uphold justice can it be called 'rigor'."

"For example, the monk, Xin Yi, worked hard to get into the university of his choice, and he hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past three years. In my eyes, he is already very resolute, but it is not counted by Confucius, because it is actions for their own sake."

"The meaning of the first couplet is that Confucius finished writing "Spring and Autumn", which Guan Yu loved to read, but he did not find a real "hard man", but Guan Yu did it."

"The second couplet is easy to understand. It is the reason why Guan Yu was able to do this, because his heart is full of what Master Meng said is 'awe-inspiring righteousness'."

"From benevolence to righteousness, this is an important argument in Confucianism. Starting from the "benevolence" in the heart, that is, the "heart of loving others", supported by righteousness, that is, the rules that can maintain the healthy operation of nature and society, we can do To stand up for righteousness regardless of their own safety and step into the realm of 'righteousness'."

"Benevolence is an idea. With the idea of ​​'loving others', it is actually considered benevolence; righteousness is an action. Only when the idea of ​​benevolence is put into practice can it be considered righteous."

"Guan Yu did it, so he became a saint."

"Easy to know but hard to do." Fang Wenyu nodded: "The seventh time in "I Despised My Soul Seven Times", 'When it sings a carol, it only regards it as a virtue, and never pursues the meaning of the song' .”

"Hahaha...Actually, I'm also a fake Taoist." Zhou Zhi said, "Because I understand the meaning of the couplet, but I can't do it myself. At most, I can only be a sounding board."

After speaking, he patted Fang Wenyu on the shoulder: "Wenyu, you are probably the most likely person among all of us to do it."

"You are humble again, Elbow. Your contribution to society is already much greater than ours." Xiong Jiao said.

Zhou Zhi waved his hand: "But it still can't meet the requirements of the master. The motive of the master's request is to act for justice. I do it for my personal interests. The first basic item is not up to standard."

"Then I doubt that Guan Shengren has really met the standard?" Wei Fei began to argue again: "Who knows what he thinks?"

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi laughed, "That's another story, because the Guan Shengren we see now is worthy of this couplet, and the Guan Shengren who can sit in this temple is the one in our hearts." The perfect Guan sage is what people have admired and admired for the behavior of benevolence and righteousness for more than a thousand years, and it is not aimed at Guan Yu himself."

From the Guandi Temple, there are Guanyin Pavilion, Baifo Hall, Yulong Pond, Fangsheng Boat and other scenic spots in the park.In addition to historical culture and the culture of the Three Kingdoms, it also includes Buddhist culture.

On the top of the hill at the height of Dianjiangtai, there is a pavilion called "Fu Weng Pavilion", with a plaque written by Li Yimeng.White pillars and green tiles, double-layer curved eaves, and flying corners are very meaningful.

Fu Weng is Huang Tingjian's self-proclaimed name after he was demoted to Fuzhou General Judgment. Obviously, this pavilion is a memorial building to mourn Huang Tingjian.

After passing Fuweng Pavilion and walking in, you will arrive at the core area of ​​the park, Liubei Pool.

For Huang Tingjian to stay in Yizhou for three years and leave hundreds of poems, from depression to a place of reconciliation between himself and the world, there must be some merits.

This is a natural canyon with a length of about 20 meters, a height of more than [-] meters, and a width of about six meters.

At the open exit, there are lush forests and bamboos on both sides, which is quite like the artistic conception of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, at the Orchid Pavilion gathering and drinking water.

Walking inside, you will find that its natural landscape conditions are unique, with several large rocks towering into mountains, cliffs forming gaps, canyons opening and closing at a certain degree, and spaces with scattered heights.

Coming here in hot weather, the cool breeze from the river is dropped several degrees by the shady rocks, which is refreshing.

Huang Tingjian built the famous Liubei Pool by taking advantage of the topography and natural spring water of this canyon.

The Liubei pool is in the shape of nine curves, with eight stone benches standing on both sides, leading the clear springs from the rock crevices as the flow, and literati and inkmen can sit in the middle, drink from the cup, and recite poems for singing.

The rocks and ravines are clear and strange, the ancient trees are towering, and the artistic conception is quiet. Because of the humanistic cliff spirit, this place soon became one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Yizhou, and the place where literati and scholars of all ages sang.

From the Song Dynasty to the present, there have been many works of praise by passing literati, such as writing about the high winds of Fu Weng, or praising the victory of building a pond, or expressing nostalgia for the past, or expressing the emotion of the season. diverse.

Some poems and songs were engraved beside the rocks, ravines, caves, and valleys on both sides like high inward walls. There are more than 100 stone inscriptions starting from the Wushen year of Chunxi.

Sitting on a stone bench like a square stone pillar, Zhou Zhi turned his head to admire the surrounding cliff carvings. He saw the traces of many famous people, and couldn't help feeling: "The people here are much more famous than those on the cliffs of Anle Mountain..."

"They said those eight characters were written by Huang Tingjian." Xiong Jiao and Liu Tao lived close together, so they must have been here many times, so she pointed Zhou Zhi to the cliff and introduced local allusions.

On the cliff wall, there is a large Chinese character, each one meter square, in regular script, with a total of eight characters.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help frowning slightly. Although Huang Tingjian's big-character calligraphy was also based on Yan Zhenqing's style, it is completely different from these eight-character calligraphy. There is no name left in the big characters, but it seems a bit far-fetched to say that Huang Tingjian left the calligraphy.

But in addition, there are many poems.

Zhou Zhi found a few good poems here, "Chu Duo and Wu Qiang traveled far away again, dreaming of Xizhou with flowers and flowers. Qianxun's iron locks are still hateful, and the Yangtze River in the empty town is not locked."

The poem is written by Lu You, but I don't know if it is written by Lu You here. It should not be, otherwise it should be very famous.

Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote "When I went to Xuzhou to ascend Suo Jiangting to live in the valley, I climbed this pavilion several times": "The old city of Shuikou is flat, and the new pavilion has iron bars. Going back and knocking out is like flying across. It rains throughout the Ming and autumn rises. The east tower locks the river and double guests, and the pen and ink are contemporary and poetic. I come but drunk with spring and green wine, and the pulse of Xingqiao is on the third watch."

In addition, there is a poem "Youliu Cup Pond", the calligraphy and poetry are all excellent, and the handwriting can be recognized, but the author Zhou Zhi is not familiar with it. He is from the Ming Dynasty and his name is Li Chunxian.

"Who splits the strange rock into a door, and introduces the mist to swallow it. The water has its source to pass through the jade liquid, and people pour gold bottles from the mouth of the valley. There are clusters of flowers on Luoqi Mountain in the seat, and the birds are singing on the table. The twists and turns are endless, and the joy is endless. Watch the bright moon turn to Jiangcun."

In addition, the writings of Liu Guangdi, Zhang Daqian, Huang Binhong and others are also vividly displayed on the wall.

"Elbow, don't you want a song?" Xiong Jiao asked.

"Huang Tingjian's poems are the first to establish a school. If I write poems here, won't I be laughed at by him?" Zhou Zhi laughed.

"I heard that you wrote a palindrome poem during your study tour, which shocked all the masters in the No. [-] Middle School?" Liu Tao asked, "It seems to be about Ouyang Xiu?"

"What shocks the master, he is now from the Chinese Department of Peking University." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Hedong Hexi, there is no need to wait for three years."

"Speaking of which, Huang Tingjian is a rare child prodigy. He had the reputation of being the boss in poetry creation at a young age, but in the end he was still unsuccessful all his life. Look there, that poem was written here to persuade him."
