Chapter 111: Daxiangguo Temple

When shopping on Mahang Street last night, Liu Xu heard that today was the day of the transaction of the surnames of Daxiangguo Temple, so he decided to go to Daxiangguo Temple today.

Originally, Xu Jin'er urged Liu Xu to go to see Kou Zhun earlier. But Liu Xu felt that the two had stayed in Qingzhou for more than ten days after they got married, and Bianliang, who had only left in early October, had already passed more than ten days anyway, even if they went to meet Kou Zhun, it would not be a day and a half. Let's go and see the excitement of Daxiangguo Temple today, and it's not too late to meet your teacher tomorrow.

Liu Xu has also heard of his name for a long time in Daxiangguo Temple, and he remembers that Lu Zhishen uprooting the weeping willows is in this temple.

Daxiangkokuji Temple is now the largest Buddhist temple in Bianliang, Tokyo. Daxiangguo Temple was founded in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was formerly known as Jianguo Temple. It is said to have been built on the former residence of Shinling-kun, who "stole talismans to save Zhao". After the temple was destroyed in the war, Tang Jingyun rebuilt it in the second year. In the first year of Yanhe, Tang Ruizong changed the name of the temple to Daxiangguo Temple, and the imperial book "Daxiangguo Temple" to commemorate his becoming emperor from Xiangwang. To the Song Dynasty, Xiangguo Temple has been repeatedly added and repaired, become the largest royal temple in the country, the whole temple covers an area of more than 500 acres, has jurisdiction over 64 Zen temples, law institutes, more than 1,000 monks, its building is brilliant and magnificent, has the reputation of "golden and splendid, clouds and clouds are disfigured". At the same time, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple was conferred by the emperor. The emperor's weekday tour, prayer, thanksgiving, and even the inscription of the Jinshi are also held here, so the Great Xiangguo Temple is also called the "Royal Temple". Because of the emperor's worship, the status is increasingly high, the world is famous, and it is located in the center of Bianliang City, the incense is prosperous, and it is very prosperous.

The temple is open five times a month for the common people to trade. Due to the strong influence of Daxiangguo Temple in the Great Song Dynasty, the trade of 10,000 surnames in Daxiangguo Temple soon became the first bazaar in the entire Bianliang and even the Great Song Dynasty.

As a result, with the passage of time, the functions of Daxiangguo Temple gradually changed, from the original simple Buddhist shrine to a thriving commercial market.

When Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er came to the front of Daxiangguo Temple by car, it was already crowded with people, and it was very lively.

Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er shuttled among them, and saw that there were birds, cats, dogs, and rare beasts in front of the majestic palace. It's like a pet market. In front of the second and third doors, there are mostly daily gadgets and sundries......

In turn, there are curtains, saddle bridles, bows and arrows, embroidery, seasonal melons and fruits, dried bacon, as long as you can think of it, you basically have everything

Inside the Buddha hall nearby, what Mengjia Daoguan, Wang Daoren candied fruit, Zhao Wenxiubi, Pan Gumo one by one old-fashioned signboards are more and more cultural

"Bianliang is really prosperous, and Daxiangguo Temple really lives up to its name!"

In the bustling crowd, Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er shuttled by, looking around to see the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but sigh softly. Compared with the famous commercial street in later generations, this place is completely different kind of prosperity and prosperity. Unique!

In the Great Xiangguo Temple. Liu Xu looked around. From time to time, I played with various gadgets of the Song Dynasty in front of the small stall. There are many tricks and novelties here that you can't see when you are in Qingzhou. Xu Jin'er was also full of curiosity about many new things that she had never seen before, and the two of them didn't go around for long. There are already a lot of things on my body and in my hands.

In the temple of Daxiangguo, in addition to various commodity transactions, there is also a variety of performances. There are juggling performances of the lower riba people, scripts and songs, as well as poems and inscriptions in the spring and snow!

Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er wandered all the way, not hearing Xu Jin'er's bursts of surprise, obviously she hadn't seen many things, so she couldn't help but exclaim.

The two of them walked around the market. While watching the performance, walk all the way to the Great Xiangguo Temple. Seeing the brilliant performance, Xu Jiner did not forget to reward a few coins.

When you walk into the corridors on both sides of the main hall of Daxiangkokuji Temple, there are already many people gathered here, and it is very lively.

The two of them went in to see it. In the corridors on both sides of the main hall of Daxiangguo Temple, there are inscriptions of famous artists of this dynasty, as well as Buddhist characters and story paintings, which are very exquisite. In view of the extraordinary influence of the Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianjing City, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty, because it is definitely an honor to be able to inscribe in the Great Xiangguo Temple, which is admired by people.

Of course, not anyone's calligraphy and painting can be inscribed on this poem and painting. Every day when the surname is traded, a large number of literati will gather here to compete in poetry and painting skills. Only high-quality poems and paintings can be inscribed in the corridor of the main hall.

It is precisely for this reason that when the surname of the Great Xiangguo Temple was traded, a lot of scholars were gathered to try poetry and painting skills in the Xiangguo Temple, in order to leave a name on the wall, which is undoubtedly a shortcut to fame.

When Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er passed by the place where the literati competed, there were already many people watching, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty had an inexplicable admiration for the literati. It is this kind of public competition of poetry, which can always attract countless people to watch.

Liu Xu's own writing skills are limited, so he is not very interested in this. In his opinion, it is better to watch people than to test poetry, and it is more interesting to watch vaudeville performances and listen to the storytelling.

However, Xu Jiner was full of interest in the competition of these literati, so she had to pull Liu Xu to stop and watch.

Xu Jin'er smiled and asked, "Brother Xu, you are a great talent, do you want to compose a lyric?" There are so many people here today, but it will soon become famous. Under Liu Xu's repeated requests, Xu Jin'er has now changed back to the title of Brother Xu, he doesn't like the title of Xianggong, and always feels awkward. He still likes Xu Jin'er to call Brother Xu, and he feels that calling Brother Xu is much more cordial than calling Xianggong.

Liu Xu touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to be famous, there are no benefits, and it will bring a lot of trouble." "Those talented literati do poetry competitions here and strive to become famous, most of them are for the sake of making it easier during scientific examinations. Liu Xu didn't want to and didn't have the strength to go to the scientific examination, so he was interested in competing with this literati.

Xu Jin'er pouted and said, "Brother Naxu doesn't want to write lyrics, it's always good to see the excitement." Besides, Brother Xu will also follow Kou Xianggong as an official in the future, and it is always good to see more literati poetry and harmony! ”

Liu Xu thought to himself, the Great Song Dynasty highly respected Wenzhi, if he wanted to mix in the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty, he had to know some poetry for entertainment, and it would be good to study more at this time.

At that moment, Liu Xu pulled Xu Jin'er into the crowd of onlookers.

At this time, among the literati, a scribe wearing a moon-white right scholar robe stood up. Liu Xu saw that he was less than thirty years old, but his face seemed to have a little more vicissitudes of middle-aged people. The scribe said loudly: "A few days ago, I came across a song "Eternal Happiness", please comment on it!" ”

As he spoke, the scribe chanted loudly: "The frost is cold and dangerous, and the dew invades the idle pavilion, and the sorrow also gathers." Before the moon breaks the clouds, after the autumn chrysanthemum, there is a flow of water in two phases. The west path of the small garden, now it is re-arriving, and Xian'e is drunk and singing. Through the curtain, the declining man looked at each other, and Shaohua secretly didn't go.

The wind knocks on the iron horse, the rain is cold and the eaves are cold, and the pen wraps around Yuhua. Dreaming of spring warblers, tears of autumn geese, and a few resentments. The two are separated from hatred, and the eight points are good, and they also seem to be annoying. It should be difficult to recognize, ten years old, leaning on the smoke waves. ”

Liu Xu listened to it and felt that it was a good poem, but it was written a little sadly, but it was somewhat set off with the cold artistic conception of late autumn at this time.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but the general opinion was somewhat consistent with Liu Xu's opinion.

This is another young scholar in a brocade robe who walked out and said: "I just saw that the picture of the orchid painted by Brother Project is very meaningful, and I have thought about it in the next place, and I have made a song of Yonglan's "Water Tune Song Head", and I invite you to comment on it." ”

The young scholar opened his mouth and said, "If you want to appreciate all directions, you should save a delicate posture." A little new ink is played, and the grass is used to the pool. The indoor spring breeze is warm, the pen is constantly flowing clouds, and the fairy spirit surrounds the fence. It's just that the jade flower is small, bringing butterflies into the ripples.

Heavenly species, Kyushu governor, four Yi fans. The painting screen incense fan is even more rare in terms of divine products. Often on the royal wall, but also accompanied by the scholar's case, the shade is always appropriate. The most fragrant can last for a long time, evoking new words. ”

Liu Xu listened to it, and felt that this song seemed to be very good in terms of words, but the next film seemed to be a little straightforward, but compared with the previous one, the artistic conception was more cheerful and less desolate. All in all, it's a good lyric.

Liu Xu's own appreciation of the lyrics is limited, and he was about to listen to the audience's evaluation of the words, when he suddenly heard a voice and said with a smile: "Brother Yunkai, I actually met you here, I really don't meet in life!" ”
