Chapter 268: The Great Collection of Ten Thousand Surnames

When the Japanese monk Kukai was studying in the Tang Dynasty, he lived in Xiangguo Temple. After studying Buddhism and writing in the Tang Dynasty, the master created a Japanese alphabet called hiragana using the cursive side of kanji, which played a major role in the development of Japanese culture.

When Taizu sent the general Cao Han to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, the 500 bronze arhats transported back from the Lushan Donglin Temple were put in the Xiangguo Temple.

After Taizong carried out a large-scale expansion of Xiangguo Temple in his later years, not only the scale was expanded, but also the appearance of the temple was changed.

To this day, the Great Xiangguo Temple has long been named a royal temple, and the great monks in the temple have also been given the title by the emperor as the Taoist Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties, and have entered the most prosperous period.

The Great Song Dynasty's own artistic masters: Gao Yi, Yan Wengui, Sun Mengqing, Shi Ke, Gao Wenjin, Que Bai, Li Jiyuan...... Countless artists have left their works here.

"The two corridors of the main hall are the handwriting of famous people of the country. The left mural is blazing with light Buddha descending nine ghosts and hundreds of plays, and the right wall Buddha descends to the ghost and the mother unveiling. ”

"The palace is dedicated to the club horse team and the like. The main hall is full of corridors, and the characters of the hidden building hall are all exquisite. ”

"The golden glow, the clouds are disfigured".

Unlike medieval Europe, in China, religious areas within large urban areas are often very interesting and playful.

"The big three doors are full of birds, cats and dogs, rare birds and beasts, everything."

"The second and third doors are all used to use things, and there is a colorful curtain open house in the festival.

Selling shop, mat, screen, washing, saddle bridle, bow and sword, time fruit, preserved wax and the like.

Near the Buddha Palace, Mengjia Taoist Wang Daoren Honey Frying, Zhao Wenxiu Pen, and Pan Gumo.

Occupy the two corridors, all the temples and aunts sell embroidery, collar wipes, flowers, beads and emerald heads, raw color pins gold pattern hats, special bun crowns, silk threads and the like.

In front of the holy gate behind the palace, there are books and pictures, as well as the earth, incense and medicine of the dismissed officials of all roads. ”

The last one is very interesting, the Great Song Dynasty can't help officials from doing business, so the officials returned to Beijing from the locality, and also brought a large number of local specialties to be sold here.

This is a huge pet market, cultural play market, department store shopping mall.

The so-called open house is a small place in the square with colored curtains to form a stall.

All kinds of people sell their things here, and rare and exotic goods from all over the world are gathered here.

There are too many stories that have happened here in later generations, and there are too many legends of various gods and monsters.

Some time ago, there was a petty official, who used three times of money here to buy a stone as a paperweight, and was later seen by a jade worker, and offered 20 yuan, and the official saw that the price was so high, and suspected that it was a treasure, so he did not agree.

Later, in order to decipher the secret, the officials couldn't help but cut open the stone, and a live fish jumped out of it, and there was a pool of clear water in the stone.

There is also a stone, a certain Hu businessman saw it, bid 10,000 guan, and finally raised it until 100,000 guan before the transaction.

Someone asked what was so strange about the stone, and Hu Shang soaked the stone in water, and a horse flew on the stone.

Hu Shang proudly told the onlookers that this stone is called the Dragon Horse Stone, and the water soaked in this stone can give birth to a dragon horse.

True and false, false and true.

The legend is not very credible, but the old man Mei did receive a jade poppy here, and he regretted that no one knew such a precious artifact, and wrote a poem to commemorate it.

Under the old cypress of the ancient temple, the jade poppy of the goods.

The animal's feet are upright, and the melon's belly and shoulders are flat.

A spoonful of virtual energy, the color is combined with blue water.

I am the only one who is the only one, and I am suddenly astonished.

There is no half of the livestock in the family, and it is not stingy with 100 gold.

People don't know how to treasure it, and they are blind in both eyes during the day.

……

Shi Tong took a few children and set up a stall here.

Su You was at the abbot and was personally received by the host.

There is a miraculous saying in later generations that if you want to contact Bill Gates, you only need to go through three intermediaries to do it.

To this day, Su You actually thinks that this statement may have some truth.

Dali Xiao Gao Xiangye is half a fan of Su Xiao Young Master, and then Xiao Gao Xiangye and Daxiangguo Temple presided over several debates, causing a sensation in Bianjing City, and the two became good friends.

And the image of the little young master of the Su family, after the supernatural rendering of Xiao Gao Xiangye, also turned into a demonic child, which left a deep impression on the host.

Hearing that Su Xun and Su Mingyun came to travel with their families, the host asked the monk to treat them all to the meditation room, good tea and snacks.

Monks also like gossip.

When he saw Su You, the great monk didn't feel anything strange, but it was Da Su who seemed to have a past life relationship with the Buddhists, and they talked very similarly.

Su You, he is only very interested in the dim sum of Daxiangguo Temple, and thinks that it is no worse than the peach slice cake and cream biscuit developed by himself.

The great monk Daolong entered the temple at the age of five to practice, and he knows the history of the Great Xiangguo Temple very well, and knows all kinds of allusions and cultural relics well.

After talking happily, he asked the monk of the Tibetan Scripture Building to take the secret book of calligraphy and painting of the Tang Dynasty from the collection of Daxiangguo Temple, and looked at it with Sisu.

This favor is great, and the big painting of Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty is rare to see.

Wu Daozi's "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was not recorded at all in later generations.

Su You feels that he is happy, and he can see many things that future generations cannot see.

Su Shi is also an expert in painting, and thinks that Wu Daozi's white drawings are more wonderful than color paintings, and he is amazed when he sees it: "Mingrun, you see, Daozi paints people, such as taking pictures with lights, going against the grain, and seeing the side out." Horizontal and oblique straight, multiply and divide each other, and get the natural number, which is not the same. The new idea is in the law, and the wonderful reason is outside the boldness, the so-called ease of use, the wind of fortune, and the cover of ancient and modern people. ”

Su You rolled his eyes, there are characters in the Mountains and Seas? said: "You're right, the method you said earlier is called the projection method, and I sometimes use charcoal to play sketching, but you don't know this method?" ”

Su Shi glanced at Su You: "Fadu is the essence of painting, your graffiti, dare to compare with Wu Zi, are you ashamed?" ”

"Cao Wu Erti, a scholar. According to the famous paintings of Tang Zhang Yanyuan, Cao Zhongda of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty were the most popular painters. Wu Zhibi, its momentum turned round and the clothes fluttered. Cao Zhibi, his body is thick and his clothes are tight. Therefore, there is 'Wu with the wind, Cao Yi out of the water.' '. ”

Su Shi is now obsessed with Wu Daozi's strokes: "Look at it, every stroke of the brush is in its part, wide and thin, slow and urgent, the form and spirit are one, which makes people fascinated......"

Su You will only have a few blue stone drawings, take the freehand route, and he is almost a layman to the painting, admitting defeat and surrendering, saying that he does not understand.

The great monk Daolong sighed and said: "It's a pity, the Great Xiangguo Temple has suffered lightning strikes many times because of the magnificent building, among which the Tang Zhaozong Dashun period, I Dynasty Taizu Jianlong for three years as the most. The thunder caused a fire, and a large number of calligraphy and painting scriptures were lost. Cao Zhongda's paintings are no longer in Zhurong. ”

Su You felt very sorry: "How can this be? In fact, this is very simple and can be prevented, the thunder can be triggered, so that it will not be troubled......"

As soon as he said this, he saw a monk, who was the head of the bazaar, who broke in and said, "Abbot, there is a dispute between the two open houses. ”

The abbot frowned and said, "Didn't you see me meeting guests?" You can just cook it yourself. ”

The monk's face was embarrassed: "Abbot...... Some...... It's not good to cook. ”

The abbot asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The monk said, "Well, the merchant of this open house is the Shi family. It is the Cao family and the Gao family who are competing for the goods......"

Su You was shocked: "Oh, that's a big stone, this is our stall, hurry up and take a look." ”

When everyone rushed to the second gate, they saw that there were already a lot of people here, and the center was their own stall.

It took Su You a lot of effort to squeeze into the center: "Big stone, what's the matter?" ”

Shi Tong grinned and said, "I'm fine, it's these two officials who have something." ”

A young man in Confucian clothes jumped Su Youlei as soon as he spoke: "Imperial City Envoy, this glass mirror is indeed a rare novelty, I have been looking for a birthday gift for my sister for a long time, and I just met a suitable one today, how about you let me?" ”

I saw another middle-aged young man in a brocade robe and said, "Shilin, there are more than a dozen mirrors here, why don't you compete with me for this one?" In addition to the deceased Empress Wen Cheng, she has always been frugal and does not like gold and silver. It's rare to have this fragrant wood decorated glass mirror, or you let me. ”

Su You was a little speechless, the glass mirror with an agarwood frame, Shi Tong would sell it cheaply? Even though it's a wooden frame, isn't that still frugal?

I couldn't help but whisper to Shi Tong and asked, "How much do you pay for this glass mirror?" ”

Shi Tong whispered: "I haven't offered a price yet, don't worry, one of these two is the Cao family, and the other is the Gao family, and they both know the goods." There will be no less of us. ”
