The river is sparkling, gulls and birds fly down. The south wind sweeps away the residual heat, vacating to the slanting sun and clouds brilliant time. In the river there is a mountain island, Galang Xiongcheng. Mountain gate overlooking the vast river, collected into the cloud light, fallen leaves sparse, there is a lonely coolness.
An hour ago was not like this. Fragrance and incense, the monks gathered in front of the Maharishi Temple, cross-legged on the futon, listening to the great monk said. Red candles and wax dripping from my Zen earth, the water and land assembly speaks of Buddha's compassion. After the sound of the Buddha's name, the bhikkhus dispersed. The old man with white hair and a quinoa staff slowly rose. The abbot saw, hands together, toward the front whispering. See that the old man smiled faintly, shook his hand, said a few words, then alone path to the tower pavilion.
This will be held, and the old man related. Before this, walked a long way, but this is not the end of the road, just he rested his feet around, did not expect to hold such a grand ceremony. By the way, he wanted to call his friend also, to listen to the high words of the Venerable Master. What was sent was a letter and what came back was a poem. The poem spoke of this friend who had sores on his feet and lived in the mountains, begging for understanding that he could not come. The old man saw the letter as a meeting, the handwriting tsk tsk nodded, Yuan Zhang's words have reached a new level.
Yuan Zhang, that is, Mi Fu, the mountain is Beigushan. The old man, that is, Su Shi. The temple is called Longyou, in Jinshan, i.e. the present-day Jinshan Temple.
Su Shi was sixty-four years old. Although the temple hospitality is grand, but he prefers to be cleaner, so he can walk in the temple. The abbot wanted to accompany him, but he declined.
The spirit is not bad, until the temple to see the picture of himself.
His own portrait?
This is the first time I've seen a picture of myself. This is a friend Li Gonglin painted. Li Gonglin horse painting is the history of painting a great, he is Tongcheng, Anhui Province. Previously, and Su Shi has visited a lot of places, Su Shi poem praised his painting skills.
Long time no see the deceased, long time no see the handwriting, long time no see himself.
A moment of speech, turned his head to find pen and ink, inscribed a few lines of poetry, not cloudy and not sunny:
Write, put down the pen on the window.
They are the first to be able to use this technology to make their own products and services, and they are the first to be able to use this technology to make their own products and services.
Some people say that this is Su Shi's self-deprecation of openness. I said, this is the indifference of Su Shi silence.
His rare relegation history is known, those places scattered in the Northern Song version of the map. Self-deprecation is the wise man's humorous response to the error, the spirit of the aftermath of the witty reflection, but these are no longer suitable for the present Su Shi. The long change, when returning from the far south, after the upheaval and wandering of the last days, became transparent and open. The windowpaper on the question of destiny has been wiped away by Sushil. What he saw now was the boundless realm of life. He examined his own floating dream life, forced to look at the complexity of all kinds of vine.
Su Shi remembered when he was young.
Initial examination of the bull's-eye, "the criminal reward loyalty and generosity to the theory" to win fame, a moment by the literary world leader Ouyang Xiu praised. Spring wind horse hoof speed, compared to the East Wu Sun Quan, dust from the hillock of Mizhou. At that time, Su Shi, indeed angular, robust gas, literature born of the Canglan. He was eager to serve the country, and it was hard to cool his blood before his ambition was fulfilled. He is very conceited, love to shake the text, and people compete.
Mizhou? Su Shi looked north, riverside lights several grains, cloudy sky obscure. Look further north, under the pale is Mizhou it. In the old days, the yellow Prime Cang, horse galloping, but in the twinkling of an eye, such as yellow, such as Cang, woeful flow away. The words of "Song of Water" really express the constant wish of the old man, but then the heart and liver, is it as round as this now? Later, he and Fo Yin in Jinshan high platform drunken song, also has this one. Counting his fingers, Fo Yin has been dead for three years. "Eight winds blowing motionless", no more people who can be defended across the river.
Tonight there is a moon, thousands of miles away from the Ziyu? Elder brother and younger brother are old.
Speaking of which, "Wo Ziyu Mianchi Nostalgia" is the very poem that foretells his life over the past forty years:
Later on, he became the wrongdoer in the Wutai Poetry Case, and his friends turned into enemies and foes in a flash, and even more so, there were countless of those flies, and he ended up relegating himself to Huangzhou.
The sinner who bullied the king and disregarded the emperor, the deputy envoy of Huangzhou's regimentation. The bow was drawn to the full moon, but he became a wolf, and shot into the desperate situation of the vine and reeds.
Months of encounters make him terrified, poor situation makes him bitter. Forty years has not been a big change, struggling from death row, to a word of relief, the replacement of the Yellow Springs of the Bijou made him doubt himself, doubt the nothingness of life and the real. The spirit, the reality of the double downfall, so that in the Ding Hui Yuan living in his extraordinarily lonely:
He carefully look at the past, review their own bad. In the past, he looked outward, he longed for the attention and enthusiasm of others, and it was from here that he began to re-understand the change of the world, the rise and fall of the personnel. He gradually became his own Su Shi, listening to his own more mature voice.
He used to be a blazing fire, soaring and domineering, wanting to burn out all the heat, the family, the ruler and the country. Now, he wants to become an unending stream of clear water, following the waves for ten thousand miles, melting through the incomplete.
The misery of Huangzhou forged Su Shi, but his work presents a different mindset:
Su Shi squinted his eyes, the western sky completely darkened, like the sky at that time in the Buddhist temple to look up. From here, it's more than a thousand miles upriver to Huangzhou, right?
Because of the jump, so free, Su Shi's footsteps put up. Reed boat above, to send the rest of his life; Red Cliff below, the waves beat the shore; Yangtze River, buckled and sang. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
The Freeloader, Su Shi's grasp of the spirit, it has been difficult to reach.
The three states are the most important in the world, and they are the most important in the world, and they are the most important in the world. Su Shi like a chess piece was pinched up, thrown in Huizhou, and flung to the farther Danzhou. These two places, the former in Guangdong, the latter in Hainan.
Su Shi no longer panic, laughing at the helplessness of fate. Politicians in the name of loyalty to the king, the righteousness of the country dynasty, the act of self-interest, but politicians are always in the wild to know the fundamentals of the nation. The Central Plains can not see Su Shi, who has been a practical man in Lingnan for nearly two decades.
When he first arrived in Huizhou, he found that the garrison troops lack of barracks, soldiers scattered in the city, often disturbing the residents. If the soldiers are not honest, how to talk about Huizhou people to protect their families? If the soldiers are not able to take care of themselves, how can we talk about taking care of others? He wrote to Cheng Zhengfu and got a good solution: building hundreds of barracks and ending the disturbance of the people of Huizhou city.
He also reproduced the project of the West Lake in Hangzhou. Huizhou Feng Lake east-west disconnected, giving the locals a great obstacle to transportation. To Su Shi led, sister-in-law Shi's sponsorship, Zenqi Temple of Xigu presided over the Huimin project began to start, Su Shi also check the progress, supervise the expenditure, and eventually east and west through, the two sides of the people clapped and praised. Later, people put the waters also became the West Lake.
One year, Huizhou grain production, but the government tax as long as the money, people put the food below the price of two times the price of previous years after selling cheaply, still pay insufficient. Or he, Su Shi will be presented to Cheng Zhengfu, Cheng and some court officials to discuss, get under the authorization, allowing the people to pay the money and food, which is considered to be flat out things.
Who is Cheng Zhengfu? This person is Su Shi's cousin, but because of family reasons Su Cheng two family break, Su Shi and Cheng Zhengfu many years do not contact. Su Shi has just been relegated to Huizhou, the court sent Cheng to manage the region's judicial work, and management of agriculture and mulberry. The purpose is very clear, to old grudges and new grudges, put down Su Shi. However, they thought wrong Cheng Zhengfu, also hide their funny face.
Their good intentions, let Su Shi a belly anachronism. It is in this land, accompanied by Su Shi for many years Chaoyun died. "Anachronism", is exactly what Chaoyun said.
Chaoyun was a lovely woman, godly Su Shi, and later became his concubine, and he was with him to ritual Buddhist chanting. Su Shi is grateful to this woman, accompanied him on the most difficult journey for decades. Flower face withered, Su Shi in accordance with his wishes, buried in the lush pine forest of the Qizen Temple. Whenever it rains at twilight, I always think of the morning clouds.
Huizhou Huizhou, give the people to benefit, An and into the boat? Su Shi laughed bitterly, gained or lost without evidence, it is difficult to predict the coming and going.
Su Shi's next post, will soon arrive.
Four
Hainan.
The end of the world has always been a place I wanted to visit. In my imagination, the sea water there has the flavor of the sky, and the sky has the smile of the sea water. Sure enough, when I saw Hainan from the WeChat of Mr. Mei Guoyun, a Hainanese writer, I understood the significance of the sky and the air that make up the vocabulary.
"The end of the world" this beautiful word, the underlying and Su Shi has a connection. Hainan's cultural history, can not bypass Su Shi.
Su Shi came to Danzhou, has gray hair. Here, his career is more extensive.
When the middle of the world, Danzhou is still slash-and-burn, the local aborigines living conditions are extremely poor. Su Shi's southern deputation, but brought the locals advanced farming techniques, improving the problem of people's food supply. -- This is the agronomist Su Shi;
Survival is guaranteed, but the local climate is often infected with disease, in a crop harvest are not guaranteed under the environment, which has what medical and health conditions? Su Shi relied on the Huangzhou and other places in the period of the study of the function of medicine, to guide people to improve the level of medical care, including the improvement of water sources, citing clean water. The experience of Huangzhou had been painful for Su Shi, but Huangzhou helped him to become self-reliant. If it were not for the various colors of faculties during that time, I am afraid that he would not have been able to eat when he arrived at Danzhou. -- This is the medicine man's Su Shi;
Before the arrival of Su Shi, Hainan's historical achievement in education was almost zero. Illiteracy abounds, quite a headache for Su Shi. So he set up the academy, opening classes and accepting students. A time the academy is full of people, this is the first time Hainan bright reading sound. The more the sound spread farther and farther, and even a hundred miles away from the Qiongzhou also have a scholar to run to the academy. It is this scholar who came from afar, became the first in the history of Hainan, he called Jiang Tangzhuo. --This is the educator's Su Shi.
Jiang Tang Zuo before the imperial examination, Su Shi presented a poem "Canghai ever break the veins, white robe breaks the breakthrough", the remaining half of the list to wait for the name to be renewed. Only, he never waited for him to continue the second half of the verse.
If he completed the spiritual growth in Huangzhou, then in Huizhou is the initial practice, in Danzhou land is a pioneer. He is like a helmsman, opening up the sea of civilization for Hainan into a new historical period. Hainan to the pure force of the original power to show the sea civilization, there are Su Shi great precedent.
In his mind, "the end of the world" has another meaning.
In the face of Su Shi, I am always afraid, he is the ancient cultural history of the unique all-powerful, and is the most flashing and least flashing people. We look from afar, he is a friend of the old farmers in the field, love to flirt and love to discuss, but when approached, he became towering as a mountain, bright bright as the moon, clear as the wind. It is such a multi-faceted character, people do not comment on its product is called strange.
It is such a multi-faceted character, more able to understand the life of the solemn and witty, spiritual elegance and commonplace, the monotony of life and redundancy, the soul of the deep and shallow, the world of light and land.
He carried the name of the criminal parcel, relegated to the four directions. He knew the stakes in politics and did not point to the convictions of others. In Huangzhou, he analyzed himself, the spirit of stained with the floating debris one by one to flick off, a great deal of work. He realized that those charges were the impurities of the spirit. Instead of being judged by others, he was looking for the root cause of his own illness. Regarding those rulers, we see that Su Shi did not invest his energy in them, but looked at himself, always focusing on the growth of his own nature. His feats in Huizhou and Danzhou show precisely the profound power of determination, which originates in a perfect and mature mind. The scholar's sense of responsibility to society, and to his own character and integrity, had a vigorous display in this period. Su Shi's body is filled with a rounded and calm "Hao Ran Qi", so the long wind fell, can not increase or decrease its a millimeter a color.
For the government to run the people and the sky, for the text of the heart to raise the spirit. Su Shi's works of art needless to mention, Huangzhou period of literature, painting and calligraphy have reached a new realm, and he experienced the waves of change lead to the life of the field of view again and again elevated is closely related. Suffering does not necessarily make people grow, sometimes growth is also a kind of regression. But in Su Shi, he was keenly aware of the old habits, breaking the boundaries of the spirit, gripping the character of the deep and long grass, towards the end of the world, the clouds and the sun.
I do not think that the ash of the wood, the boat is not tied to the dark negative, it overthrew the existing universal concept of life, alarmist grasp of the essence of life, the cosmic perspective of life experience, emotionally ruthless destruction, reshaped a more mellow personality. This kind of personality, both in the shore waves in the water waves, but also in the lonesome sandbar chanting Xu Xing; both in the miasma of the people in the stalwart, but also in the desolation of obscurity in the peace of mind. The Red Cliff in Huangzhou heard his chanting, the West Lake in Huizhou lengthened his figure, and the sea in Danzhou contained his accommodation. In the end, for himself and for the people, a great success.
Ethereal lonely, snow-flying Hong, and later is independent of the end of the cliff, light wind and moon in the no one can be friends of loneliness. This sense of loneliness and sense of wandering, why is not fascinating to think about, why not make people waste books and sigh?
He stayed in Jinshan Temple, I always feel special intention. He was born in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, all the way down, drifting into Huangzhou. He chose the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in his old age, and wanted to be on par with the East China Sea. In this place, he could look north to Xumi, and south to think of Suzhou and Hangzhou. He once said he was a monk in his previous life, and we have seen his compassion and generosity towards others. The Dharma Brahmacharya has dispelled his attachment and reliance.
The original purpose of the wandering has been found, but also to the end of the world, this fly is finally going to stop.
The night can hear the waves of the river, the dawn can hear the pine waves. The moon is a thousand miles away, piercing through the river. The clearness returns to the silence, the meditative has its own hastiness. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a pair of shoes or boots, and then you'll be able to get your hands on a pair of shoes or boots. The people also, after all the stage of life, perched on the Yangtze River.
