Chapter 546: Leaning on a horse and whipping a psalm
After Du Wei finished telling the little-known story of "Huineng and Zhang Jiuling", he told a more magical story that circulated in the Lingnan area, "The Six Ancestors Entrusted Lin Zhuangyuan to Fan and Beat the Sow Essence":
It is said that after the death of the sixth ancestor Huineng, one year, there was a Xiucai surnamed Lin in Wuchuan County who went to Beijing to take the test, and was ranked first in the dragon and tiger list of the Guiwei Branch.
In the middle of the night, an old monk came into the room to chat, saying that he was from Xinzhou, Lingnan, and Lin Zhuangyuan belonged to the neighborhood, and he came to visit.
During the conversation, he said that there was an unquiet incident in New State, and he asked Torin Champion to deal with it when he passed by and eliminate harm for the people.
The next day, Lin Zhuangyuan set off, looking for the old monk last night, the monk said that there was no old monk, Lin Zhuangyuan looked all over, only to see the temple Huineng statue of Ku Xiao last night to visit the monk, surprised.
Lin Zhuangyuan returned to Wuchuan Road through Xinzhou County, recalled the request of the six ancestors, visited the city, and could not hear what was happening in the place, so he took a sedan chair to Longshan Guoen Temple to pay homage to the six ancestors. When I arrived at the Guandong Market, I saw a sea of people flocking to Xucun, Lin Zhuangyuan asked the pedestrians on the road, saying that today is the birthday of Guanyin, the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the Guanyin Temple on the side of Xucun Road is very manifest, and will leave the offerings to eat up, if the nearby villagers do not go to worship during the birthday, then you don't want the whole family to live in peace; Therefore, when it is time to be born, they will come to worship and leave offerings to eat.
When Lin Zhuangyuan heard this, he felt strange, it was what the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng said, so he went to the Guanyin Temple to stop the sedan chair to observe. As soon as he was stationed in the sedan chair, a sudden wind blew violently, and a wild sow ran from Acacia Mountain across the river, roaring and rushing to Lin Zhuangyuan to lay down.
Lin Zhuangyuan shouted: "It turned out that you were a beast, the Sixth Ancestor Master asked me to clean you up, you must behave in the future, and you are not allowed to make waves and eat people's offerings indiscriminately, otherwise you will never be spared." Lin Zhuangyuan hit the head of the wild sow a few times with the handle of the paper fan in his hand, and after the wild sow bowed a few times, he flew back to Acacia Mountain across the river.
Afterwards, a small piece of the Guanyin statue in the Guanyin Temple was knocked off on its forehead, and it could not be repaired after repeated repairs. Since then, there has been no more eating of the offerings.
After Du Wei finished telling the mysterious story of "The Sixth Ancestor Entrusts Lin Zhuangyuan to Fan the Sow Essence", he wanted to continue to tell, but he inadvertently raised his head and looked up at the night sky, only to see half of the bright moon, poking out his curious head from the clouds flowing in the sky, peeking at the changing world.
The silent village, the grass by the river, the vast fields, the firewood of the farmhouses, were all bathed in a faint silver moonlight.
Du Wei seems to feel that he is quiet in the dead of night, and there is a faint rumor of "Bang...... Nation...... Bang ......" was more retribution.
Du Wei hurriedly stopped and said, "Ah, it's the third watch!" Let's hurry up to the integration market inn and stay overnight. ”
Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia: "Okay." ”
Coincidentally, Du Wei led Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia to the Yuelai Inn in Chengxu, which was the inn where the northern warrior monks who chased and killed the six ancestors Huineng lived. As soon as the three of them entered the lobby of the inn, Wang Xiaoer, the shopkeeper, listened to them "twittering" and speaking northern dialect, thinking that they were here to hunt down and kill the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, and couldn't help but think in their hearts: The Sixth Ancestor Huineng has been dead for many years, what do they want to do?
When they approached the counter, Wang Xiaoer recognized Du Wei at a glance, and a hanging heart was put down. A warm smile appeared on the face that was tight and hostile just now, "Master Du, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to stay?" ”
Du Wei said: "Xiao Er, do you still remember my Du Wei, don't come to harm?" ”
Wang Xiaoer replied: "Lord Du has been in Xinzhou for ten years, both civil and military, for the people to solve problems, to ensure the safety of one party, ten years ago, a group of thieves came to rob the store, if you didn't hear the news and rushed to relieve the siege, the owner of the store would have suffered a miserable loss." After you left NSW, our boss Wu often mentioned you, remember your goodness, and the people of NSW are very grateful to you! ”
Listening to Wang Xiaoer's words, Du Wei's face showed a sense of pride, "How can I Du Wei, thank you for the wrong love of the people, I am very grateful!" ”
"Master Du is talented, during your time in Xinzhou, you walked the land of Xinzhou, leaned on the horse and whipped the whip, and the eight poems that were swept away, after you left Xinzhou, you were also rated as the eight poems of Xinchang by the local people." Wang Xiaoer spoke excitedly, and emotionally recited the poems "Yuncheng Rising Sun" and "Longshan Shengxuan", one of the "Eight Scenery Poems of Xinchang" that were widely circulated in the local area.
Wang Xiao's two words recited in a straight voice:
One of the "Eight Views of Xinchang Poems" "Yuncheng Rising Sun"
Xinzhou ten thousand bamboos are surrounded by the city, and the rising sun wears the forest and the household.
There are no barking dogs in the lonely courtyard, and there are warblers in the bamboo dock.
The spring thunder moves where the dragon and grandson grow, and the phoenix tail is light when the morning dew sighs.
It is ridiculous that the prince is in danger, and the world is naturally clear.
"Eight Views of Xinchang Poems" No. 3 "Longshan Shengji"
Nanzhen Longshan is unconventional, and Zen Pass is far away in Baiyunkuma.
Bodhi Zi falls into the floating monk tower, and the incense is born on the stone platform.
There are many mountains on all sides, and several ancient cypresses are also Cui Wei.
The famous mountains are picturesque, and the cyclamen is also fast.
Referring to the author of the Eight Scenes of Xinchang (Yuncheng Rising Sun, Fengdong Sunset, Longshan Shengji, Tianlu Xianquan, Yalou Towering Cui, Jinshui Tuolan, Xian Ting Farming and Husbandry, Cave Entrance Fishing Qiao) Du Wei, a native of Xiangyang, Hubei, and the nephew of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, Zhidezhong and Fu were in Shangshu Yanwu Curtain together. He was an upright official, not afraid of power and offended the traitorous ministers of the court, Tang Zhongzong listened to the greedy rumors, and demoted him to Xinzhou (Xinzhou was called Xinchang County at that time) to join the army for ten years. During the period in Xinzhou, Du Wei walked the land of Xinzhou, attracted by the beautiful natural scenery and famous and holy monuments of Xinzhou, leaned on the horse and whipped the whip, and Lingnan Xinzhou had a legacy.
Du Wei was demoted to Xinzhou that year, and his mood was extremely sad, but he placed his affection between the mountains and rivers with a contemplative attitude, and left eight Xinzhou style paintings of the Tang Dynasty for Xinzhou.
The poem "The Rising Sun of Yuncheng" was written by Du Wei when he was demoted to Xinzhou. Yuncheng, in the Tang Dynasty, was the state of Xinzhou, the center of Xinzhou County. At that time, the Yuncheng was only half a mile longitudinal and horizontal, the city wall was the soil foundation, the bamboo was planted on it, the bamboo dock was crying warbler, and the situation was natural.
The first four lines of the poem describe the morning scene in Yuncheng, the fifth and sixth lines describe the beautiful ecology of bamboo, and the seventh and eighth lines are the poet's feelings. Using the city of Yizhu in Xinzhou as a fortification is indeed a useless "virtual risk". According to records at the time, the county seat of Xinzhou was besieged four times, and bandits attacked and robbed the city several times. The last sentence of the poem, "The world of virtue and weathering is naturally clear", and the Yuncheng of "virtue and weathering" that Du Wei prayed for, entrusted him with his yearning for a peaceful and prosperous world.
The poem is characterized by its imposing description. From the very beginning, the poet writes from an extremely grand spatial background: the rising sun in the east, the glow of the sun, and the morning scene of Yuncheng under the light of the morning sun. The plan for the day was in the morning, when the doors were supposed to be wide open and people went out to start their day's work. However, "there is no barking dog in the lonely courtyard", every household closes the door, there is silence, "there is a warbler in the bamboo dock", and only the cry of the morning bird in the bamboo dock is heard. Here, Du Wei uses contrasting techniques to write that the social order at that time was very chaotic. In the end, Du Wei spread the wings of imagination and created a good social security environment of "moral and weathered world" in a peaceful and prosperous world, living and working in peace and contentment, and "never closing the door at night and not leaving the road behind".
The poem "Longshan Shengxuan" was written by Du Wei when he came to Longshan in Nanzhen. Longshan, located in the south of Yuncheng in Xinzhou, is undulating in the mountains, towering peaks, meandering and connected, such as the dragon's pan, so it is called "Longshan". The ancient trees on the mountain are towering to the sky, the shade of the trees covers the sun, the flowers are like brocade, lush, throughout the ages, there is the reputation of "a hundred cities and smoke and water are incomparable, and the wind flags of six generations are from one day".
This poem mainly depicts the picturesque and beautiful natural scenery of Longshan, and expresses the poet Du Wei's love for nature.
Du Wei's seven-character poem is characterized by the use of romantic techniques and is written in an otherworldly manner.
Du Wei skillfully captured several landscapes seen in Longshan: looking at the towering Longshan Mountain in the distance, it seems like a dragon soaring in the white clouds, and the "Zenguan" (Guoen Temple) also seems to float between the winding clouds, mountains and mist in the depths of the white clouds; Closely, the Bodhi Seed (Buddha Beads) seems to fall from the sky on the "Monk Pagoda" (Bao'en Pagoda), and the Qiang (also known as the Banner Dustpan) tree is blooming with white flowers, and the rich fragrance dawns on the stone platform in front of the tower; The abrupt strange mountains and several ancient cypresses around each other contrast with each other, and the mountains are even more tall and uneven. Here, there are towering Longshan, Guoen Temple, monk pagoda, blue sky, white clouds, Bodhi seed, stone platform, flower fragrance, as well as the surrounding abrupt strange mountains and evergreen pines and cypresses...... The picturesque scenery constitutes a beautiful and magnificent picture of "Longshan Shengxuan"! It is Du Wei's poem "Famous mountains and scenic spots are pictures, and cyclamen are also happy", which made this poem widely circulated in the current time and became one of the "Eight Views of Xinchang", which shows its popularity and strength.
