After Du Wei finished telling the little-known story of "Huineng and Zhang Jiuling", he told a more magical story of "Six Ancestors Entrusting Lin Zhuangyuan to Fan Sow Essence" that circulated in the Lingnan area:

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 searched all over, only to see the statue of the monk who visited last night on the hall Huineng statue, and was 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 Huineng said, so he went to the Guanyin Temple to stop the sedan chair and 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 then hit the handle of the paper fan in his hand on the head of the wild sow a few times, and after the wild sow knocked 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 tribute.

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 quiet village, the grass by the river, the vast fields, and the firewood of the farmhouses are all bathed in a faint silver moonlight.

Du Wei seemed to feel that he was quiet in the dead of night, and there was a faint sound 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 of the market inn for a night. ”

Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia: "Okay." ”

Coincidentally, Du Wei led Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia to the Yuelai Inn in the Integrated Ruins, 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 "chattering" and saying 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 tense and hostile face 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, solving problems for the people, and ensuring 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 are long, and the phoenix tail is light when the morning dew is scarce.

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 traitors in the court, Tang Zhongzong listened to slander 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 scenic spots of Xinzhou, leaned on the horse and whipped the whip, and Lingnan Xinzhou has 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, during 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 this poem describe the morning scene of Yuncheng, five or six lines describe the beautiful ecology of bamboo, and seven or eight lines are the poet's feelings. Using the siege 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 "The famous mountains and scenic spots are pictures, and the cyclamen is also fast" that made this poem widely circulated at that time and became one of the "Eight Views of Xinchang", which shows its popularity and strength.

The owner of this inn is a local, surnamed Wu, named Jingui, he was already lying on the bed ready to sleep, faintly heard the lobby Wang Xiaoer's voice, listened to it for a while, when he heard Wang Xiaoer talk about Du Wei and Du Wei's voice, hurriedly put on his clothes and went downstairs, came to the lobby to see, among the three people standing in front of the counter, sure enough, one was his great benefactor - Du Wei, Du Daren.

Wu Jingui walked quickly to Du Wei and knelt down and said: "I don't know that Duke Du and the two adults are coming late at night, Wu Mou has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Du Wei hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wu Jingui up, "What is Boss Wu's crime, do this great gift and kill Du Wei!" Hurry up, please. ”

After Du Wei helped Wu Jingui up, he said: "This time, I accompanied my uncle and Master Zhang to worship the six ancestors and come to stay. ”

"Okay! The presence of the three adults made the cold stack shine, and I was deeply honored! After Wu Jingui was polite, he instructed Wang Xiaoer to open three VIP rooms to entertain the three adults.

Wu Jingui personally sent Du Wei and them into the room, and after the arrangements were made, Wu Jingui walked towards Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia, "The two adults have just arrived in Xinzhou, and I propose that tomorrow you go to Xialu Village, the former residence of the sixth ancestor Huineng, and you may have unexpected gains." ”

Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia asked, "Is Xialu Village far from here?" ”

Wu Jingui pointed to the village in front, "It's not far, it's in the nearby village." ”

Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia looked at Du Wei and said in unison: "Okay!" We will go to Xialu Village tomorrow to worship the six ancestors. ”

"Good! That's what I mean. After Du Wei finished speaking, he said to Wu Jingui: "You should also rest early." ”

Wu Jingui said: "Then I won't disturb the rest of the three adults." ”

Du Fu and Zhang Cambodia shook their hands, "Boss Wu walks slowly." ”

……

The next morning, after having breakfast, Du Wei and the others came to Xialu Village, the birthplace of the sixth ancestor Huineng.

Finally, I came to the former residence of the sixth ancestor Huineng, the lotus planted by the sixth ancestor Huineng and his father Lu Xingyan in the pond on the side of the house.

The lotus flower is also known as the lotus flower. The lotus flower is a symbol of holiness and beauty, she is white and flawless out of the sludge, sprinkled with fragrance and natural uniqueness, extremely delicate and pure and modest, slim and elegant, endearing.

When Du Wei, Du Fu and Zhang Khan approached the lotus pond, the first thing that caught their eyes was the endless lotus leaves, like a sea of green. Some lotus leaves only emerge a little tender tip, which is very cute; Some have grown to the size of the palm of a hand, and the breeze blows, swaying with the wind, and standing tall; Some have grown into "big jade plates" and are full of vitality. The lotus leaves are crowded one after another, as if they are a group of brothers and sisters, heart to heart, intimate.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the "green ocean" was undulating in an instant, and the lotus leaves were churning one after another, which was very beautiful.

The wind stopped, and the "green sea" calmed down again. The water droplets on the leaf surface are dripping and rolling, crystal clear, like beautiful pearls. Du Fu touched the scene and groaned loudly: "A gust of wind comes and the blue waves turn over, and the pearls are scattered and difficult to clean. ”

Take a closer look. The lotus flowers are in a variety of forms, white and flawless, as pure as crystal. Some only have a green white bud, delicate and shy, with buds ready to release; Some are only half-opened, some petals are scattered, others are clustered around the stamens, like a well-dressed beauty; Those who were all open, like girls in white and plain clothes, were dancing; There are also some petals that have fallen off, revealing a turquoise lotus canopy, and the small holes on the lotus seeds seem to be small mouths, and they are letting go of their throats and shouting: "I'm ripe, come and pick it!" ”

The lotus exudes a fresh and elegant fragrance, attracting flowers and butterflies to fly and play in the meantime, which is pleasing to the eye. And the mischievous dragonfly, flapping its wings, flew from one flower to another, and frolicked happily with the lotus. Du Wei and they were intoxicated, and felt that the lotus flower in front of them was a graceful lotus fairy dancing.

Zhang Cambodia said: "The lotus flower is not only beautiful, but also very useful. Its leaves can be used to make tea, make traditional Chinese medicine, lotus roots can be eaten, and lotus seeds are the best food to cool off the heat in summer. In short, the whole body is a treasure.

Du Wei said: "The lotus is not as graceful and luxurious as the peony, not as cold and fragrant as the plum blossom, and not as small and delicate as the orchid. I love the lotus, love its slim posture, and love its "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons" high wind and bright festival!

Du Wei said as he spoke, as if he had entered a state. I saw him gushing:

I love the lotus, I love her beauty, I love her true feelings. The lotus flowers in the pond, the clear water in the pond, and the green leaves in the pond are set off, and they are like plain women in white who stand alone in the pavilion and watch the scenery.

Look at their faces, they don't wear powder, they are naturally white, just like warm jade, without the slightest hint of fireworks in the world; If you look at their posture again, they are dressed in green clothes and have their backbones straight, but they are not the men among the women. When the wind blows, you can still smell the fragrance they emit, the faint fragrance is like a small gasp of a woman in Huaichun, which makes me feel my heart pounding immediately......

It turns out that no matter how beautiful and extraordinary a woman is, there are times when she is tempted. What's more, in the hot summer, only they look so refreshing and feel so cool. I love lotus, love her approachable, homely, beautiful character, how many flowers in the world can do this?

Peony? Delicate and plump, like the darling of the royal family, you can only look at it from a distance but dare not look closely. Rose? Good care is good maintenance, but there are always thorns, like a poignant love, or a tragic love, or a tragic woman, which makes people think of a trace of warmth.

And Epiphany, lonely and abnormal, never blooms during the day, you have to see her at night, and her beauty is so short-lived, it can be described as "short-lived"......

And the lotus, it is different, from the remote mountainous area to the garden of the city, from the pond at the edge of the village to the famous lake of the motherland, from the small courtyard of the farm to the flower pond of the rich and noble, you can enjoy her everywhere, as long as you give her soil, give her water, give her a reasonable temperature, she will live and work in peace and contentment, your wealth and poverty, your reputation, will not be chattering because of fertilizer, let alone growing thorns or opening at night.

Zhang Cambodia looked at Du Wei, "If you like it, you can also pick a branch, hold it in your hand, or put it in a vase, when people who like you see it, they will be amazed!" ”

Du Fu said meaningfully: "No wonder countless poets appreciate them, love them, and write poems for them......

Du Wei continued Du Fu's topic, for example: "Li Bai praised the lotus, won the praise of many noble people, in his eyes, the lotus has become an incomparably gorgeous woman, in the sunlight suddenly exudes incomparably gorgeous, extremely attractive, with the 'blue lotus spring is a quiet spring, the morning sun is bright and fresh' poem description is not an exaggeration." ”

Du Wei's poetry was flourishing, and before Du Fu could speak, he continued: "Of course, there are many poems written about lotuses, such as the seven-character quatrain "Lotus Picking Song" by the poet Wang Changling of the current dynasty, 'The lotus leaf Luo skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus opens to both sides of the face', I think the lotus should be the beautiful woman the poet has seen......

Du Fu praised: "The young uncle can be called a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, 'Seven Absolute Holy Hands'. In his early years, he was poor and lowly, trapped in farming, and was not confused when he was young. The first secretary of the provincial school secretary, and the erudite macro words, awarded the water captain, because of the debasement of Lingnan. He has a good relationship with Li Bai, Gao Shi, Wang Wei, Wang Zhilian, Cen Shen, etc. At the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he returned to Chang'an and was reawarded Jiang Ningcheng. Slandered as a dragon captain. An Shi was in turmoil and was killed by the assassin Shi Luqiu. His poems are known for their seven uniques, especially the most famous poems written by the Northwest Frontier before ascending, and have the reputation of "the poet's master Wang Jiangning", and also have the saying of "the poet's son Wang Jiangning"! ”

Then, Du Fu faced a pool of lotus flowers, looked at things and thought about people, and recited Wang Changling's two seven-character quatrains of lotus picking:

One

Wu Ji is more beautiful and the princess of Chu is fighting for the lotus boat water wet clothes.

When you come, Pukou flowers welcome in, and you will return to the first month of the river.

Second

The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face.

I can't see it when I enter the pool, and I feel that someone is coming when I hear the song.

Du Fu chanted, and he was still unfinished, and explained these two poems in front of Zhang Cambodia:

According to Du's opinion, these two poems should describe the beauty of the lotus-picking woman, which is poetic and picturesque. The first poem writes about the lotus picking activities of women in water towns, using flowers, moons, boats, and water to set off the woman's appearance; The second poem uses freehand method to express the overall impression of the lotus-picking woman, the young brother places the lotus-picking girl in the lotus bush, looming, if there is nothing, so that the girl and nature are integrated, so that the whole poem has a unique and beautiful artistic conception that leads people to reverie; And from different angles, different aspects show people the moving lotus flowers, but also put the appreciation of the young brother in it, which can be called a seven-word quatrain.

Picking lotus song, from Emperor Wu of Liang and his son, descendants are more likely to imitate it. This poem was written by the young brother when he was demoted to the dragon standard.

In the summer of Tang Tianbao's seventh year, the young uncle had been serving as Long Biaowei for a while, and the first time he met Ah Duo, it was a special interest. At that time, the young brother walked alone outside Longbiao City, and saw a beautiful picture in the lotus pond of Dongxi, that is, he saw the princess of the chieftain and the barbarian girl Ah Duo singing in the lotus pond, so he made a lotus picking song.

This poem is about a lotus-picking girl, but the poem is not described positively, but is described with lotus leaves as green as Luo skirt, lotus flowers as red as faces, and no one can hear the singing, etc., skillfully integrating the beauty of the lotus-picking girl with nature. The whole poem is vivid and lively, full of poetry and picturesqueness, and full of life interest.

The description of the first two lines of the poem makes people feel that these lotus-picking girls are simply part of the beautiful nature; The last two sentences describe a feeling of indistinguishability in an instant by the standing gazer. The combination of objective description and objective description in the front and writing well expresses the beautiful artistic conception of the beauty of the flowers and flowers that are difficult to distinguish and the flowers are beautiful.

If this poem is regarded as a "Lotus Picking Picture", the center of the picture is naturally the lotus picking girls. However, the young brother did not let them appear on this picture from beginning to end, but let them be mixed in the lotus leaves and gorgeous lotus bushes, looming, if there is nothing, so that the lotus girl and the beautiful nature are integrated, so that the whole poem has a unique and beautiful artistic conception that leads people to reverie. Such an artistic conception is original.

At the beginning, the lotus picking girl and the surrounding natural environment are cleverly formed into a harmonious and unified whole - "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus is open to both sides of the face." "To say that a woman's skirt is as green as a lotus leaf is just an ordinary metaphor; And what is written here is a lotus picking girl, in the lotus pond, saying that the lotus leaf and the Luo skirt are the same color, that is the "local scenery", is "Fu" rather than "compare", it looks vivid and gratifying, with both simple and glamorous elegance. The hibiscus in the second sentence is the lotus flower. It is not a new metaphor to say that the girl's face is ruddy and gorgeous like a lotus flower out of water. However, "hibiscus blooming on both sides of the face" is not just a metaphor, but paints a beautiful picture: the face of the lotus girl is hidden in the middle of the blooming lotus flowers, and it looks as if the bright lotus flowers are opening towards the girl's face. Connecting these two sentences into one, people seem to see that in that green lotus and red lotus bush, the green Luo skirt of the lotus picking girl has been integrated into the lotus leaves in the field, and it is almost impossible to distinguish which is the lotus leaf and which is the Luo skirt; The girl's face and the bright lotus flowers reflect each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between the human flowers. It makes people feel that these lotus picking women are simply a part of the beautiful nature, or actually the spirit of the lotus flower. This depiction has a real sense of life.

The third sentence, "Messing into the pool and not being able to see", follows the first two sentences. The meaning of inconsistency, miscellaneous, and mixed in. The lotus leaf skirt and the hibiscus face are already like one, difficult to distinguish, and can only be barely distinguished when the weather is carefully observed; So after a slight mistake, the lotus girl and the green lotus and red lotus became one again, and suddenly disappeared. What is written in this sentence is a kind of human intellect produced by the staring person in an instant, a feeling of Jefeiye, a kind of unpredictable surprise and melancholy. This is often the case when it is often said that "I am dazzled". However, just when he was hesitating and out of sight, the singing in the lotus pond was everywhere, and suddenly he suddenly realized that the "invisible" lotus picking woman was still in this field of lotus leaves and gorgeous lotus flowers. "I feel that someone is coming" should be associated with "smelling songs" to taste it. was already "gone", and suddenly "smelled the song", only to know that "there was someone"; But people are still hidden in the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, so although they hear the song, they do not see their figures. This is the so-called "lotus singing is not thorough, know in this pond".

This description adds to the vivid interest of the picture and the connotation of poetry, which makes people see the scene of ten acres of lotus pond, lotus flowers in full bloom, lotus songs, and the situation of the onlookers listening to the song and standing and staring, and the joyful mood of the lotus girl full of youth and vitality is also permeated in this lotus pond where the song is heard but no one is seen. Until the end, the young brother still did not let the protagonists of the painting appear clearly on the picture, the purpose of which was not only to treat them as the embodiment of beautiful nature, but also to leave a leisurely and inexhaustible taste because of this description. With the help of verbs, it shows the vivid picture of the lotus picking girl looming in the lotus pond, if there is nothing, the flowers are difficult to distinguish, and the flowers are the same, showing the innocent and vigorous character of the lotus picking girl.
