Chapter 272 Grottoes
Lin Mochen contacted Chang Zhiping after confirming that Xu Jiayu’s ankle had recovered and carefully planned the itinerary before preparing to set off.
The two of them went downstairs and saw a familiar car.
Chang Zhiping was not afraid of the cold either. He leaned against the car door with a cigarette in his mouth. The cold and moist air made his face red. He saw the two of them patted the car, "Oh! The young couple finally went downstairs. There is no better tour guide than me to go to the cave. Get on the car quickly."
The kindness of Chang Zhiping After invitation, the two got into the car, but the atmosphere in the car was so quiet that it was breathless.
Forget Lin Mochen was silent, but even Xu Jiayu, who had never been able to make things happen, was silent.
It was obvious that yesterday I knew that Uncle Xu had done such a great thing and was so proud that he was so depressed today?
Is this the so-called "lag of sadness"?
Chang Zhiping looked at the two people in the back seat of the car from the rearview mirror. There were three people in the car, but it seemed like he was the only one.
He couldn't stand it and spoke up on his own initiative.
"Didn't you say you were going home yesterday? Why did you change your itinerary temporarily? You must have no homework if you want to go there suddenly, right?"
"You have to do your homework when you go to the grottoes in our BC County. You may not do your homework if you don't do your homework. I will think it's not good-looking."
"Yeah! Can you two pay attention to me? It's boring to speak alone."
Xu Jiayu was amused by Chang Zhiping's sudden words and took it. The topic of the topic, "I have learned about Longmen, Yungang, Mogao Grottoes, and Wanfo Hall. I have never heard of it before and I have to do my homework. Why?"
"Oh! Xiao Xu didn't expect you I know a lot."
"I am the museum's tour guide." Chang Zhiping's eyes showed a little appreciation, "Oh! I didn't expect Xiao Xu, you have also devoted yourself to the career of cultural and museums?" He laughed, "To be honest, our grottoes were first known as the four major grottoes together with Mogao Grottoes, Longmen and Yungang, but later, due to various reasons, they were removed from the four major grottoes, but this does not hinder their history. Status, it is the earliest cave in our country to dig, isn’t it amazing?” Chang Zhiping said in a nagging manner, but his tone was irresistible pride. As he spoke, he suddenly sighed. "It's a pity that the two disasters caused serious damage to the grottoes in our BC County. Once was the destruction of Buddha and the robbery of the West. Oh! You will know when you go and see it later."
"See every day The caves are all random, so we will know which ones we can see when we arrive. However, my dad said hello in advance. You can visit the six caves currently open at will. Don’t worry, you both have me as a part-time job. Gold tour guide, you will definitely make this trip worthwhile."
As the car slowly drove into the scenic area, the huge gray rock walls came into view. The thin snow in the county town had long disappeared. The stubborn sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled the rock walls, crossing the entire mountain with a layer of golden color. The light.
Looking from afar, the mottled cave entrance of the cave seemed to countless pairs of deep eyes, staring at the winding river beneath her feet. This river that had long lost its former water volume was still stubbornly shining like broken silver among the sand and gravel gloss.
Everything in front of you is like that Holy Spirit.
Along the flat brick floor, the weathered rock layers peeled off from their fingertips, and the sandstone textures that intertwined with ochre, yellow and rust can still be identified. The ancients left behind when they were dug. chisel marks.
It is not a holiday today, and the weather is not good. There are not many tourists in the scenic area. Chang Zhiping led the way and said while walking.
"Grotto murals witness the process of Buddhism's development from west to east. From here we can see that the main elements in the world blend, exchange, gather and learn from each other. It is a witness to the exchanges and mutual learning in the world.
"You see, the lines are uniform in thickness. This style is called the flexed iron plate wire in the history of painting. This style actually originated from India, but in India, such lines often only outline the outlines of the characters' lines. , does not emphasize details, but the murals of our caves are not only large outlines, but also very finely painted. "
"This is actually an embodiment of the importance our Central Plains culture attaches importance to lines, and it also reflects the characteristics of the gradual sinicization of Buddhism. "
Xu Jiayu was surprised that Chang Zhiping's explanation was so professional. He claimed to be a "golden tour guide" and was not arrogant at all. Before he could speak, Chang Zhiping waved his hand.
" ! Because of Uncle Chen Su’s case, my father was almost devoted to this place. I spent my childhood here. Which cave tells a story~" Chang Zhiping pointed to his head, "Me! Men Qing'er! ”
"Flying heaven, jilotian, pagoda, Bodhisattva, Arhat, the eight tribes of heaven and earth, the stories of Buddha's birth, the stories of Buddha's teachings, etc., which one do you want to see? Where to start?"
< br>Chang Zhiping didn't know where to turn a flashlight, put it in his hand and shook it, "Just start from here?"
Under the indigo dome grinded by lapis lazuli, the monkey king bowed to save the group of monkeys The legend of the bridge solidified on the wall, the golden monkey king's limbs stretched like a rainbow bridge, and his back was trampled out of cracked fine lines by the pursuers, but his raised eyebrows and eyes were filled with compassion.
The domes of the adjacent caves are painted with music flying in the sky, the dancer with the pipa hugged the toes lightly taps the lotus petals, and the streamers roll in the gap between the diamond pattern into the shape of wind, making people feel that ancient music travels through the sixteenth time. The afterglow of the country's smoke.
What shocked Xu Jiayu the most was the central pillar cave.
The believers who worshipped the pagoda once touched the folds of the Buddha's Nirvana statue in the dark, but now in the broken backlight, the flame patterns and honeysuckle patterns are still entangled with each other on the mottled gypsum layer. Cave No. 76, named "Peacock Cave", half of the unfinished portrait of the Bodhisattva has exposed the draft lines, and the face outlined by cinnabar shows a dark purple tone in the oxidation, as if time suddenly closes its knife here, leaving a Eternal creative moments.
Chang Zhiping's language is vivid and his explanation is humorous. As an interpreter, Xu Jiayu knows how tiring it is to explain for several hours.
Lin Mochen seemed to see through Xu Jiayu's thoughts and handed a bottle of mineral water to Chang Zhiping, "Thank you for your hard work, drink some water."
Chang Zhiping was stunned and took it with a smile I took a big sip of water and said, "I am a person with a wife, I think about it with thoughtfulness."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed it into the distance, "Damn! You couple are so lucky, come with me."
"Dangdangdang! Look! The magic moment belonging to "The Night Music Picture of the Heavenly Palace" is coming!"
The afterglow shot into the collapsed cave top, and the originally faded gold foil suddenly flowed on the mural musician's golden cymbals, and the strings of the guzheng zither are The light and shadow tremble slightly, and the faded brocade robe that the donors reappeared in the colorful colors of the couplets.
Xu Jiayu was completely shocked by the scene in front of her. She subconsciously pulled Lin Mochen's arm, wanting her to see the wonder in front of her, but Lin Mochen was not in the grotto...
Time flies, and months always feel like it passes in a flash.
