Chapter 19: The Righteous Jinlan
This weekend, after Long Fei won the bonus, he invited Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli to an elegant Wenyuan restaurant in the suburbs for dinner.
They readily agreed.
Out of respect and politeness, Long Fei arrived one step ahead of schedule and picked a Jasmine seat near the window to wait for the two senior sisters.
Long Fei asked the waiter to make a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and when he was about to taste the tea, he heard a familiar voice floating in from the window.
He hurriedly walked out of the seat, stretched out his hand, and made a "please" gesture.
In the first few days of school, although they couldn't get together, they also met in the preliminary, middle and final exams. Long Fei's speech and demeanor made them sincerely admire, and they were also happy to meet such a talented and beautiful alumnus.
After three rounds of drinking, the topic naturally turned to the final exam.
Situ Li got up and added half a cup of tea for Long Fei and Xi Xiaoli, looked at Long Fei and said, "Senior brother, the final exam will be due tomorrow, have you handed in the poems?" β
Long Fei said: "I don't pay it." β
When they heard this, they hurriedly asked, "Ah Fei, why?" β
"I'm not going to compete for that spot." When Long Fei said this, he looked at the two of them, "Have you handed it over?" β
Xian Xiaoli took the lead in saying: "I handed it over on Tuesday." β
But Situ Li said, "I haven't paid it yet." β
"Do you write poetry or writing?" Long Fei couldn't help but ask.
But she answered Long Fei's question positively, and asked instead: "Long Fei, I want to hear your opinion on Wang Weiyi's poem first?" β
Long Fei took advantage of the wine and said, "I don't know what poems he wrote. β
So, Situ Li read Wang Weiyi's poem again: "Ancient Chinese poetry, up and down for 5,000 years. Always read diligently to get the idea. β
"Flat and straightforward, no poetry." Long Fei's words are not without spicy.
After Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli listened, they looked at him intently and nodded their heads frequently.
"Poetry is not only called a beautiful text, but also a transmission of the soul. China is also a country of poetry and literature, and the literati have admired mountains and loved rivers since ancient times, and have created a large number of classic poems and famous poems describing mountains and rivers, which have a far-reaching influence......"
Long Fei's rhythmic and emotional descriptions again and again made Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli be influenced by the art of ancient poetry again and again.
In the harvest season of golden autumn, in Jasmine's private seat, Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli brought the charm of ancient poetry and artistic conception and artistic charm brought by Long Fei.
Long Fei enriched their cognition of ancient poetry with poetic language, profound thoughts and vivid images, made them deeply feel the beauty of timeless ancient poetry and literature, and expressed their hearts.
Long Fei saw that they were fascinated, and said: "To learn ancient poems, we must 'recite their texts, understand their meanings, and understand their reasoning', the essence of which lies in the heart, in understanding, and in understanding, rather than relying on dry rote memorization......
"How do you do that?" Situ Li asked with a wink.
"Feel it with your heart, and see its righteousness. There are many soul-shaking works in ancient poems, there are paintings in poems, and there are poems in paintings, such as Su Shi in his commentary on Wang Wei's "Smoke and Rain in the Blue Field" in the Tang Dynasty, he said, Κ»Observing the paintings of the Zhu, there are poems in the paintings, there are paintings in the poems, the brushwork is fresh, the style is elegant, and it conveys a poetic realm...... "Long Fei said poetically.
After Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli listened to Long Fei's first-hand experience of ancient poetry, they were like an empowerment, and their mouths suddenly opened.
In the end, Long Fei attached himself to Situ Li's ear, teaching the essence of the poem in such a way that it was so poetic that she nodded her head again and again.
Long Fei praised: "It's really good that you can comprehend the essence of poetry and the wonderful use of mobilizing your heart." β
Long Fei picked up the rice bowl, skillfully picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the rice, and asked, "What is the reason why you see that when I take the chopsticks, the chopsticks pick up the rice and fall into the mouth?" β
Situ Li replied casually: "Practice makes perfect." β
Long Fei then asked, "Where did the coincidence come from?" β
Situ Li shook her head and said honestly, "I didn't think about it." β
Long Fei picked up the pair of chopsticks and pointed to Situ Li: "You see, every time I make a chop, I don't leave the rice in the bowl, this is the meeting point of external force insertion." β
Long Fei also said the essence of the poem: "Look at the fit point, pluck the chopsticks, and the ignorance knot (rice) is the entrance!" When he finished speaking, much of the rice in the bowl was missing.
Situ Li looked at the rice bowl that Long Fei was carrying, and was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, it's really neat!" β
Long Fei shook his head: "It's not that I eat well, but that I can eat." β
Situ Li looked at Long Fei as if she didn't understand, wanting to hear his explanation.
Long Fei asked Situ Li instead: "You eat when you are at home, and you still eat when you come here." Instead of eating here, you should eat at home, so why eat outside? β
Situ Li was confused, and didn't know what Long Fei wanted to convey, so she had to beg Long Fei: "The little girl is stupid, please junior brother, no, please make it clear from the master." β
Long Fei said: "Senior sister, you should know that because you are invited, this meal is not the other meal." This is the difference in motivation and the different rules of eating. β
Situ Li shook her head: "I still don't understand." β
Long Fei Zhengse said: "Since the ancient poetry came out, it has been more than 5,000 years. Among them, there are many people who study poetry and literature, but there are very few people who can become everyone. Why? Because 'without a bone-chilling experience, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms'! You are talking about poetry and writing here, and it seems that it has nothing to do with learning poetry. In fact, poetry is formless and ineffable. Where is the poem? It is in the flying flowers, the fallen leaves, the needles, the thread brain, in the eating, drinking, talking, in every move of daily life. Poetry is everywhere and all the time! The key is that we must have a clear poetic heart, to experience and comprehend all the time! β
Long Fei's words were like thunder, waking up a thousand-year-old dream; It seemed to be enlightened, and the heart was suddenly opened, which had a strong resonance in the hearts of Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli!
What they usually realize is poetry! Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli were overjoyed, they couldn't help it, they held Long Fei's hand tightly, and said very excitedly: "Thank you Master for your order, thank you Master for your advice, thank you Master for ......"
"What are you all talking about, what are you doing? Hurry up. I want to be Longfei, a boy from a mountain village, the first time I arrived in Longmen, no relatives and no reason, I am fortunate to meet the two of you, it is really a blessing for three lives, and I will rely on you to help you more in the future, when the time comes, don't shirk it! Long Fei quickly bent down and helped them up.
"As long as you have something to ask for, you will definitely help!" Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli spoke in unison.
"Good! We pull the hook and stamp it as proof. Long Fei had a whim and proposed.
"Okay! The hook seal is not allowed to change for a hundred years! Situ Li said.
Xian Xiaoli pondered and said, "If God can have mercy, let us marry Jin Lan and support each other." β
Long Fei tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "Righteous Jinlan, dare to ask the girl, what year, month, and day was born?" β
She was born on 28 August 1992. Xian Xiaoli is quick to speak.
Situ Li continued: "The little girl was born on May 28, 93. β
Long Fei looked at Situ Li in amazement, and said seriously: "Coincidentally, why was Xiaosheng born on the same day, the same month, and the same year as you?" β
"Really? That day, my dad happened to mention at home that your dad and my dad were classmates and colleagues. He also said that you and I were both born in the Year of the Rooster. Stuart recalled.
Situ Li groaned: "In this way, 92 years of respect for sister...... It's just that we don't know how to get started? β
"Ah Fei, let me ask you, when were you born? And the old with you? Xian Xiaoli looked at them and said.
"I was born at 12 o'clock at midnight." Long Fei said with a wink.
Situ Li stroked the strand of hair hanging down in front of her forehead and said, "The eldest sister, the second brother, and the third sister are Chenshi." β
After the worship, they continued to eat and drink, and talk about poetry and essays until the restaurant closed.
Long Fei buried the order, and walked in front with floating steps, Situ Li and Xian Xiaoli holding hands behind.
The jade rabbit is sprinkled with silver light, and the autumn wind dances chrysanthemums.
The wind blew Long Fei's hair, and the falling chrysanthemum petals swirled around him.
The moonlight like a silver plate shrouded his figure, and he seemed to radiate a poetic brilliance.
Unconsciously, when they passed by the Longmen River, the Longmen No. 1 Middle School suspended in the ethereal night sky in the distance and the modern buildings standing on the bank of the Longmen River, under the reflection of the silver light emitted by the bright moon, looked particularly dazzling, like the Yuyu Qionglou in the sky, a piece of poetry, particularly poetic and warm, highlighting the prosperity of the city, so that Long Fei who had just arrived here was amazed.
Since he was in elementary school, Long Fei's compositions have been known for his brilliant writing, quick thinking, and rich knowledge, and have been loved by teachers, classmates, and readers.
His speech is even more unseen and unthinkable, and he is good at bringing the listener into the river of poetry step by step in his manners and speech, and enlightening philosophical thinking.
At this time, a firefly seemed to fly in front of Long Fei's eyes from the direction of Yizhong, shook it for a moment, then turned around his head a few times, and gently flew down on the row of phoenix tails by the river.
On the surface of the river, a bright moon is reflected, and the sky is vast and cloudless, smooth as a mirror;
Moon reflected in the water, cloudless sky...... In this situation, there was a spark-like light flashing out in Long Fei's heart, and just as he was about to burst out, he saw Situ Li chanting loudly: "Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, and thousands of miles are cloudless and thousands of miles of sky." β
Situ Li had read "The Record of the Gartaipu Lantern" in her early years, and at this time, she clearly felt the awe-inspiring Zen machine hidden in this poetic scene, which went straight to the depths of her soul and made her have an epiphany.
At this time, it seemed to her that water was water, and the moon was the moon, and because of the moonlight, there was a moon in the water, and the moon was in the water. But the moon in the water is not the moon, but the illusion of water; The moon is in the water and is the reflection of the water. It's a bit of a sense of right and wrong, right and wrong.
It is precisely based on this that she thinks of a Zen poem in "Jiataipu Lantern Record": "Ten thousand Buddhas are like thousands of rivers and moons". This is quite a very high-level Zen poem.
Zen emphasizes "epiphany".
The unenlightened person meticulously follows the rules and precepts, and in the process of following them, they get peace of mind;
Those who will be enlightened will gradually comprehend its essence in the process of following it;
Those who have an epiphany have already penetrated the true meaning and transcend the outside world......
There is water in the river, there is a moon in the sky, as long as there is water in a thousand rivers, there will be a moon on a thousand rivers; There are clouds in the sky, and the clouds are the sky, as long as there are no clouds in the sky, then the sky is blue for all the miles.
She thought: "A thousand rivers have water and a thousand rivers and a thousand moons", the moon is like poetry, a thousand rivers are like scenes, rivers are no matter how big or small, there is water and there is a moon; Poetry does not distinguish between rhythms, and poetry is intentional. Poetry is in poetry, just like the bright moon shining on the river.
Feeling this, a spiritual light flashed in her mind, "Thousands of rivers have water and thousands of rivers and moons", isn't this the best understanding of ancient poetry in the final exam?
Situ Li smiled heartily at Long Fei.
Long Feijiong's blazing gaze stopped on Situ Li's face, and he smiled at her.
Xian Xiaoli suddenly realized: "At this time, you are silent better than sound, and you have a good heart!" β
β¦β¦.
Participating in the Municipal Ancient Poetry Contest ended with Zheng Qianqian standing out. No. 1 Middle School has also moved into the regular teaching track.
