Chapter 81 Zen monk Zhiyong iron threshold
Besides, his mind is still running, and he doesn't stop.
He also thought that when Cangjie created words and cried ghosts and gods in the world, it was because human beings would use this to get out of ignorance, create civilization, and gradually get rid of the shackles of gods and ghosts. Cangjie's feat shocked the heavens and the earth, made the ghosts and gods feel mournful, and mankind entered the age of writing, and gradually took their fate into their own hands.
Zhou Xingsi created a thousand-character text, which can be said to be the successor of Cangjie's great cause of character creation. Since then, the charm of language has reached a new level.
However, the thousand-character text can always be known by later generations, and it should be thanked to a hero, that is, the Zen monk Zhiyong of the Sui Dynasty.
Zhiyong is a descendant of Wang Xi, and may also be the last descendant of the Wang family. He was fond of calligraphy and practiced hard day and night. The discarded pens are finally buried together, known as the "pen mound".
Because there were too many people asking him for words, the threshold of the temple was broken by the guests within a few days, and it was replaced one after another, and finally Zhiyong had no choice but to wrap a layer of iron on the threshold, and the saying that the iron threshold came from this.
Later, the iron threshold became a symbol between birth and accession, and if you want to be born, you must first step through the iron threshold, which means making up your mind.
Zhiyong not only used countless pens, but also consumed countless papers, and finally the paper was not available, so he practiced calligraphy on banana leaves.
Besides, if you have a suspicion about this, you will never be able to practice good calligraphy on banana leaves, just like taking a stick and practicing calligraphy on a sand table, although you don't need to spend a penny, but it is absolutely impossible to practice calligraphy.
It is estimated that Zhiyong's skills are unbearable for a while, and there is no paper at hand, so he writes and plays on the banana leaves casually.
It is said that at that time, there were countless people who took paper, pen and ink to ask for words, and Zhiyong would never be short of paper. It is said that Zhiyong practiced calligraphy with banana leaves, but it was the result of later generations taking it as an inspirational model and adding oil and vinegar to reinterpret it.
Zhiyong's favorite thing in his life was to write thousand-character essays, and it is said that he wrote thousands of copies and sent them to various temples in Jiangnan at that time.
Du Mu has a poem: 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. Just an approximation. At that time, there were more than 4,800 temples in the Southern Dynasty.
Zhiyong's thousand-character text should not only be given to the temple, but also more folk collections. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, it has become a model of calligraphy, not only primary school students copy, but also Ou Chu Yan Liu these grandmasters also have to copy honestly, because this represents the inheritance of the right army's penmanship.
Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun both have a thousand-character grammar post handed down, which is to pay tribute to Master Zhiyong with practical actions. In the following thousand years, the practice of thousand-character writing by all calligraphers became almost the orthodoxy of practice.
Master Zhiyong's thousand-character calligraphy has spread to the world, arousing countless people to copy and pay tribute, and Zhou Xingsi has also become famous.
Besides, he is still Xi Qianziwen, and has not officially created it, he knows that his penmanship is far from mature, and the heat is far worse, but seeing the rubbing ink is so bad, it arouses his desire to create.
At that time, the master of copying thousand-character texts in the Jiangnan area was Wen Zhengming, and he had seen his facsimile, and he sighed to himself. When he was in Suzhou, he was always anxious to see Wen Zhengming, and he wanted to discuss with him the experience of copying thousand-character texts, but unfortunately he never got his wish.
"Has the construction of the Humble Administrator's Garden started? How is the teacher Chen Musa lately? Also, what about the pomegranate...... besides, I can't help but think about it.
When he was in Suzhou, he ignored the construction of the Humble Administrator's Garden, and never asked, but when he thought of Wen Zhengming at this time, he touched his nerves, and at the same time, he also thought of Tang Bohu, who was like a dragon without seeing his head and tail.
As for his family and pomegranates, he didn't dare to think about it at all, his head swelled when he thought about it, and he could only comfort himself in his heart.
Of course, the safety in Suzhou City is guaranteed, with the dual protection of Lian Daning and Chen Musa, coupled with the power of the Zhongshan Palace, those who act rashly have to worry about the consequences.
Man, such an animal, must deceive himself when he needs to, otherwise he cannot live.
Moreover, now that is the case, he can only imagine that everything is as it was at home, as it was when he was there. Daddy's body is great. My sister and Pomegranate are happy all day long, and the two of them always praise him when they are together, oops, this and that, so numb.
Besides, when I finish writing ink, I can't wait to break the pen in my hand immediately, there is such a poor brush in the world, it is simply a brush.
He didn't bother to ask about anything else, and when he came out, he went straight to the crude medicine shop. The manager of the crude medicine shop and the guys were very enthusiastic when they saw it, and they almost hugged it.
Besides, to explain the intention, order a batch of real Zihao for the students, but it is an ordinary grade, and order a few good Zihao and high-quality rice paper for yourself.
These are all small things, easy to say and easy to do, do it immediately, do it immediately. The manager of the crude medicine shop blinked, and said something with some difficulty.
It turned out that the pharmacy in the main store in Fengyang heard about the incident, and asked the branch here to invite him to the main store for consultation no matter what, and the annual remuneration was 2,000 taels of silver, and he could withdraw it in advance.
Such conditions are unimaginable for ordinary doctors, and the annual salary of the chief staff of a governor's yamen is no more than that.
Besides, he just smiled: "It's not too late for me to discuss this matter when I come to your main store as a guest." ”
The manager and the men were relieved to see that he did not refuse. Besides, this is for their sake, and when they get to the head office, whether they can keep people is a matter for the head office, and it has nothing to do with them.
"This is the pen and paper used in the daily life of the shop, if you think it is okay, take some and use it first. The manager was busy bringing out the best brushes and paper in his shop.
Besides, there was a pang of reaction in my heart, this miracle doctor's hat had to be taken off as soon as possible, otherwise the "old man" would be confirmed.
Besides, he arched his hand and said: "Thank you, I have a special use, I can only use my own accustomed pen, ink and paper, you can help me transport it early." ”
The pens and paper taken out of the store are of medium quality, so they are even better for everyday use. He is now bent on copying the model for those children, and he must have the best effect.
"Your old man's medicinal herbs are still a few tastes, and the head of the family has written to say that he will definitely send them to you in the near future. ”
The supervisor babbled and said some nonsense, and just nodded in agreement, and then before he could finish speaking, he quickly ran out under the pretext of remembering something, covered in sweat.
"Brother, what are you nervous about?" Xiao Nier was playing with a child at the door, and when she saw him running out in a hurry, she asked curiously.
"Don't dare to stay any longer, I'll be a bad old man if I stay a little longer. Besides, he wiped his sweat and said.
"Haha, so you're afraid of this. People respect you, and tell you that there are really few people in our town who can be called old people, and my grandfather is reluctant. ”
"Yes, doesn't that mean I'm older than your grandfather?" said hatefully.
"Where is this, this obviously has nothing to do with age, as the saying goes, a three-year-old grandfather, a grandson on crutches. Moreover, it has nothing to do with seniority, it is to respect you. "For the first time, Xiao Nier seized the opportunity to educate him, and she was willing to let it go.
Besides, he didn't pay attention to her, and went straight to Squire Zhao's house. I thought, I'm going to see the real old man, I'm not an old man.
As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked, but I saw that the old lady of the Zhao family, that is, the real old man, was strolling in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"I said, Master, what are you doing here, I have said it again and again, you have to be on crutches, and someone has to be there to help you. "Besides, for the first time, I felt that calling someone a master was taking advantage.
"Brother Ren, you're here. ”
Squire Zhao rushed out of the house like a savior, his head covered with sweat.
"Brother Zhao, this is ......"
"My father said that he would not let anyone accompany him, let alone hold onto him, and he threw away his crutches, and said that he would go mountaineering tomorrow. You say, what can I do, you can help persuade him. Squire Zhao was so anxious that he was really angry.
"What's the matter, when you go out of the door, it's a mountain. I said what if I want to climb the mountain, why don't you just walk a few more steps, and you can still be tired to death. ”
Old lady Zhao reprimanded her son sharply, then grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Little Divine Doctor, with the blessing of my ancestors, let me meet you, so that I have a chance to stand up, I just want to climb to the top of the mountain to see, even if I take one last look at the whole town, this is my thought." ”
"Master, you can go to the top of the mountain, but you have to be carried up by your family, and you must be warmly dressed. Besides, I couldn't bear to hit him, so I had to come up with a compromise.
"What I have now is strength, why do I use people to carry it? Little divine doctor, you don't know, I carried this courtyard wall back from the mountain one by one, one by one, and then built up one by one. ”
"Dad, that was more than forty years ago, and you still mention this. Squire Zhao said impatiently.
"What happened more than forty years ago? I don't think I'm worse now than I was then!" the old man was still so energetic that he almost threw away his crutches.
Besides, he sighed secretly, the master still didn't understand, he now has strength and good spirits, all relying on the internal force he injected through the golden needle, this internal force will soon dissipate, and then he will still be weakened, and he will have to carefully use medicine to recuperate for two years before he can really save his life.
As for saying that he wants to climb the mountain by himself, and he wants to climb to the top of the mountain, I am afraid it will be impossible in this life.
Moreover, he told Squire Zhao about these situations, and solemnly told him that the old man's current mental head was just an illusion, and after that, he would mainly lie on the bed to recuperate, and then slowly recuperate with medicine.
Of course, the old man can walk around the yard on crutches for a while every day, but he must be supported by his family on both sides, and if the old man falls again, it will be a big trouble, and he may even die.
Convincing patients to accept defeat is one of the most difficult things in the world, and they are especially not good at it. Today is the last day of treatment for the old lady, and after that, he will be cared for by his family. As for whether his doctor's orders can be fully carried out, he is also beyond the reach of the whip.
