Chapter 608: The Ancient Canal
His deep, slightly magnetic voice sang this ancient rhyme poem, which sounded unique. took Qiqi's hand and walked towards Hanshan Temple, and said to her: "Hanshan Temple is famous all over the world because of a poem by Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji has also been passed down to this day because of this eternal swan song. What kind of mood did you say he was sleeping outside Hanshan Temple at that time? ”
Li Jiaoqi measured her steps, and said while thinking: "The book says that he passed by here because of his fall. ”
Su Yang nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Li Jiaoqi saw Su Yang's encouragement, so she continued: "Since it has landed, the mood must be very depressed, so when he came here on a cruise, he couldn't sleep at night, and he was inspired to write such a swan song when he heard Hanshan Temple in the middle of the night. ”
Su Yang nodded: "More than a thousand years ago, the late Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji may not have thought that he went to Beijing to take the exam and failed, in order to avoid the chaos of Anshi, he chanted this poem "Fengqiao Night Park" at will in the guest sorrow detention trip, and it will be poetic and melodious, melodious, through the fence of thousands of years, and it still gives Hanshan Temple an indelible brilliance. ”
Hanshan Temple shines on the wall like a barrier before standing in front of the mountain gate, standing towards the river in the west, placing the ridge eaves on it, decorated with a wandering dragon, the momentum is extraordinary. The yellow wall is embedded with three square bluestones, engraved with the three words of "Hanshan Temple", the iron draws the silver hook, the pen is majestic, and the paragraph is signed "East Lake Tao Jun Xuanshu".
Su Yang pointed to the words of the Hanshan Temple and said: "This Tao Junxuan, formerly known as Zuwang, the word Xinyun, the number Jishan monk, Zhejiang Huiji Taoyan people." According to the photographic data, these three inscriptions are engraved between the walls of the cloister in the temple, surrounded by weeds and dilapidated. Soon, the tripartite stele disappeared. His whereabouts remained unknown for nearly two decades. Later, when the Hanshan Temple was renovated, these three carved stones were found in the ground behind the scripture building. Xie Xiaosi, director of the Suzhou Municipal Garden Renovation Committee, who was in charge of the renovation work at that time, felt that there was nothing in front of the mountain gate and it was too empty, so he suggested building a wall to strengthen the temple. Therefore, the three-sided stone tablet was embedded on the newly built shadow wall and became an eye-catching symbol of Hanshan Temple. ”
Li Jiaoqi looked at Su Yang in surprise and said, "Ah Yang, you know so much, even you know this, when I came to play with my classmates in the past, they didn't know the origin of this person." ”
Seeing Qiqi's eyes with a little admiration, Su Yang smiled, and then said to her, "Actually, I just read it by accident." ”
Although she heard Su Yang explain like this, Li Jiaoqi still admired Su Yang very much, Su Yang was able to tell this history, which is enough to see that he has a deep literary foundation, and he must have read a lot of books.
"Hey, it doesn't seem to be cold at all." Kiki said in surprise suddenly.
Su Yang laughed and said, "With me helping you expel the cold, how can you feel cold." ”
Kiki grinned, stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to send Xiangling, and said playfully: "This is a reward for Ah Yang." ”
Su Yang smiled with satisfaction, hugged Qiqi tighter with his hand, and then kissed her several times.
Bypassing the wall, there is a temple gate in front of you. Su Yang looked at the temple gate, the long mountain gate looked so solemn, at this time an old Taoist priest passed by him, and said to him: "What, the little brother also came to this Hanshan Temple to play?" ”
Su Yang nodded and said to him, "Yes!" ”
The old Taoist priest twisted his beard and said: "Speaking of Hanshan Temple, there are many unknown stories, the Hanshan Temple was wiped out in the fire, and the existing temple buildings were mostly rebuilt at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Hanshan Temple was rebuilt thanks to a person named Cheng Dequan, Cheng Dequan was born in Gongsheng and had entered the country to supervise his work. Later, he joined the Northeast Aihui Deputy Capital Tongwen Quanmu and Heilongjiang General Yiketang Amu, and only because of his achievements was promoted to the prime minister of the Heilongjiang General's Camp Office. At the critical juncture when the Russian army was about to bombard Qiqihar, he blocked the muzzle of the Russian army with his body, and finally reached a peace agreement, so that the whole city was saved from erosion, so he was specially heard by the government and the opposition, and was able to make an exception to be promoted, and later, Cheng Gong was transferred to Suzhou, he had a soft spot for Hanshan Temple, during his tenure in Suzhou, following his predecessor Chen Kuilong, donated money to raise funds, repaired Hanshan Temple, and published a volume of "Hanshanzi Poems", this plaque on the temple door, is the title when the temple was built. ”
After listening to his explanation, Su Yang and Qiqi Li Jiaoqi both looked stunned, smiled at the old Taoist, and then Su Yang said: "Thank you Daoist for telling us these stories that can't be seen in books." ”
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it's for it, it's rare for young people to listen to me so much, you are all very good." ”
A group of three people walked inside, passed the temple gate, entered the front yard, and suddenly felt full of greenery, quiet and far away. The front is the hall of the great majesty, the two sides are equipped with the hall to confront each other, solemn and solemn, the corridor is swirling all around, the winding path is secluded.
There is a flower bed on the left side of the courtyard. The granite tablet embedded in the altar wall, engraved with the four words of "Miaoli Zongfeng", is full of energy, and comes from Cheng Dequan's handwriting. "Miaoli" means that the old name of Hanshan Temple is Miaoli Puming Pagoda Courtyard, which has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, and the lineage is extended, pointing out the origin and origin of the temple "Ancient Hanshan Temple". The stone carving was originally a banner of the mountain gate of Hanshan Temple, and then fell to the ground and buried in the mud.
The other side of the flower bed is inlaid with granite stele, engraved with the words "cold pick-up traces", the old man pointed to these four words and said: "This is the Ming Dynasty Hanlin scholar Yao Ximeng inscribed, Chongzhen six years of Zhangmei writing. Yao Ximeng and his uncle Wen Zhenmeng were classmates, and the two were both famous. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he was admitted to the Jinshi.

Pawn Wen Yi. He was upright, liberal and generous, and was respected by the Donglin Party. He is the author of "Collected Essays". The stone inscription points out a relationship between the temple and the cold mountain and the found. ”
On the right side of the courtyard stands a stone stele, 218 centimeters high, 90 centimeters wide at the top, 80 centimeters wide at the bottom, and the left side is damaged. Look at the stele surface, moss is mottled, and there is no word, so it is commonly known as "wordless stele". However, if you identify it carefully, you can not see the words "Xiuzhu Famous Flower", "Jing Hao", "Yifeng Da", "Xingren" and so on, but most of the inscriptions have been blurred. According to research, the inscription is Yao Ximeng's uncle Wen Zhenmeng's "Hanshan Temple Rebuilding Daxiong Hall Record".
The left side of the courtyard is equipped with a hall, and the lintel hangs the flat forehead "Luohan Hall" inscribed by the abbot of Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple, Mingshan monk. In the center of the hall is a bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. There are also two pairs of couplets on both sides.
After viewing the front yard, then walk to the temple's Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Daxiong Hall is the main hall of Hanshan Temple, on the pedestal.
