Chapter 891 Liubeichi
Zhou Zhi explained to his friends: "The first couplet comes from "The Analects of Confucius: Gongye Chang", the Confucius said: 'I have not seen a strong person.' Or the opposite is 'Stretching a tree.' 'Confucius said:' How can you be strong even if you have desire? ’”
“This is the origin of the famous idiom, “If you don’t have desire, you will be strong”
“Confucius meant that the attribute of fortitude should be directed at justice. But in the non-private sphere, only those who can persevere in order to uphold justice can be called 'strong'."
"For example, monk Xin Yi worked hard to get into the university of his choice. "Feng Li, I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past three years, which is very resolute in my eyes, but it doesn't count for Confucius, because this is an act done for oneself."
"The meaning of the first line is that even after Confucius finished writing "Spring and Autumn", which Guan Yu loved to read, he did not find a true 'hard man', but Guan Yu did it."
"The second line is also easy to understand, that is Praise Guan Yu for being able to The reason for this is that his heart is filled with what Meng Fuzi called "awe-inspiring righteousness". "From benevolence to righteousness, this is an important point in Confucianism." , that is, 'the heart of loving others' ' as the starting point and supported by righteousness, that is, the rules that can maintain the healthy operation of nature and society, can we stand up for justice regardless of our own safety and enter the realm of 'righteousness'. ”
"Benevolence is an idea. Having the idea of 'loving others' is actually benevolence; righteousness is action. Only when you can put your benevolent ideas into practice can you be considered righteous."
"Guan Yu did it, so he became ”
"Easier said than done." Fang Wenyu nodded: "The seventh time it is said in "I Despised My Soul Seven Times", 'When it sings carols, it only regards singing as a virtue and never pursues the meaning of the song.' "
"Hahaha...Actually, I am also a fake Taoist," Zhou Zhi said, "Because I understand the meaning of this couplet. , but I can’t do it myself. I can only serve as a mouthpiece.”
After speaking, he patted Fang Wenyu on the shoulder: “Wenyu, I’m afraid you are the one who is most likely to do it. ”
“You are so humble again, your contribution to society has been greater than ours,” Xiong Jiao said.
Zhou Zhi waved his hand: "But it doesn't meet Master's requirements. Master requires that the motivation for behavior is for justice. I do it for my personal interests. The first basic item is not up to standard."< br>
"Then I doubt that Guan Shengren really meets the standard?" Wei Fei started to argue again: "Who knows what he thinks?"
"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhile said happily: "This is another As I said, the Saint Guan we see now is worthy of this couplet and can sit in this couplet. The Saint Guan who comes from the temple is the perfect Saint Guan in our hearts. It is people’s admiration and admiration for benevolence and righteousness for more than a thousand years, and it is not directed at Guan Yu himself.”
Coming out of the Guandi Temple, there are also scenic spots such as Guanyin Pavilion, Baifo Hall, Yulong Pond, and Life Release Boat 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 above Dianjiangtai, there is a pavilion called "Fu Weng Pavilion", with a plaque written by Li Yimeng. The white pillars and green tiles, double-layered curved eaves and flying corners are very interesting.
Fu Weng is the name Huang Tingjian called himself after he was demoted to Fuzhou Tongben. Obviously, this pavilion is a memorial building to mourn Huang Tingjian.
After passing Fu Weng Pavilion and walking further in, you will reach the core area of the park, Liubei Pond.
For Huang Tingjian to stay in Yizhou for three years and leave hundreds of poems, from a place of depression and decadence to a place of love for reconciliation between himself and the world, there must be its merits.
This is a natural canyon that is about thirty meters long, more than twenty meters high, and about six meters wide.
The open exit is surrounded by lush forests and bamboos on both sides, which is quite reminiscent of the artistic conception of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who gathered in the Orchid Pavilion to drink water.
Walking inside, you will find that the natural landscape conditions are unique. Several large rocks tower into mountains, cliffs form gaps, canyons open and close in a certain way, and the space is scattered. When I came here on a hot day, the cool breeze from the river was cooled by the cool rocks, which was refreshing.
Huang Tingjian took advantage of the topography and natural springs of this canyon to build the famous Liubei Pool.
The Liubei Pond is in the shape of nine curves, with eight stone benches on both sides, leading to a clear spring in the rock cracks. Literati and poets can sit in it, drink from the flowing cup, and recite poems for singing.
The rocks are strange, the ancient trees are towering, and the artistic conception is quiet. Because of the cultural cliff atmosphere, this place quickly became one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Yizhou and a place where literati and scholars of all ages sang.
Since the Song Dynasty, there have been many works of praise by the passing literati, some writing about Fu Weng's noble demeanor, some praising the achievements of building a pond, some thinking about the ancient feelings, or feeling the emotions of the times. It can be said that fog gathers clouds. The village is full of pearls and brilliance.
Some poems and songs were carved beside the rocks, gullies, caves and valleys on both sides, which were like inverted high walls. There were more than 100 stone inscriptions starting from the Wushen year of Chunxi.
Sitting on a stone bench that looked like square stone pillars, I turned around to admire the surrounding stone carvings. I saw the traces of many famous people, and I couldn't help but sigh: "The people here are more famous than the people on the cliffs of Anle Mountain. Too many..."
"They said those eight characters were written by Huang Tingjian." Xiong Jiao and Liu Tao lived close by and must have been here many times, so they pointed to the cliff and introduced it to Zhou Zhi. A local allusion.
There is a large character on the cliff. Each character is one meter square. It is a regular script with Yan style. There are eight characters in total. It says "The Old Man of Antarctica, Amitayus Buddha".
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly. Although Huang Tingjian's large-character calligraphy was also inspired by Yan Zhenqing, the style of calligraphy is completely different from the eight-character calligraphy. The large characters did not leave a name, 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 several good poems here, "Chu Tuo Wu Qiang travels far away again, Huanhua enjoys his dream of Xizhou. Qianxun's iron lock is still hateful, but the empty town of the Yangtze River does not lock the sorrow."
The poem is written by Lu You, but I don’t know if Lu You wrote the title here. It probably isn’t, otherwise he should be very famous.
Fan Chengda, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, also wrote "I visited this pavilion many times in the evening when I was exiled to the valley of Dengsuojiang Pavilion in Xuzhou": "The hills in the old city of Shuikou are flat, and the new pavilion has iron bars. Return to the pavilion. If you are flying across the river, you will be greeted by two heavy rains in the autumn. The pen and ink are both contemporary and poetic. I came here but I was drunk with spring green wine, and the star bridge pulsed to the third watch."
There is also a poem "Wandering in the Cup Pool". The calligraphy and poetry are all excellent, and the handwriting is identifiable. But Zhou Zhi is not familiar with him. He is from the Ming Dynasty and his name is Li Chunxian.
"Who split the strange stone into a door, and introduced the haze to swallow it. The water has its source and flows into the jade liquid, and people pour out the golden bottle from the mouth of the valley. There are clusters of beautiful mountain flowers in the seat, and the sound of reeds and birds chirping on the table. The twists and turns are endless, and the love is endless, and I am happy. Watch the bright moon turn over the river village.”
In addition, the handwritings of Liu Guangdi, Zhang Daqian, Huang Binhong and others also appeared on the wall.
"Elbow, do you want to play a song?" Xiong Jiao asked.
"Huang Tingjian's poems established a sect. If I compose poems here, don't I want to be laughed at by him?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"I heard that you wrote a palindrome poem during your study tour, which shocked the masters of No. 7 Middle School?" Liu Tao asked: "It seems to be about Ouyang Xiu?"
"What shocked the master? He is now a student of the Chinese Department of Peking University." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Hedong and Hexi, we don't have to wait for three years."
"Speaking of which, Huang Tingjian is a rare child prodigy. poems about young age He has a reputation as a boss in terms of writing lyrics, but as a result, his life has been wasted. Look, that poem was written here to persuade him. ”
