Third, to see the sun, for all his glory

After Zhu Yizun broke away from the power structure, the feelings of mountains and rivers became more and more intense. Because of the celebrity effect, he traveled around Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his later years, and he was honored by the host who stayed everywhere. Even if he went to Fujian and Guangdong, he was greeted by thousands of miles, and weddings.

in the 31st year of Kangxi (1692), on September 18th, Zhu Yizun went down to Hangzhou accompanied by his nephew Wu Huaizu and visited the Dongxiao Palace. At this time, Zhu Kuntian was in the shogunate of Guangdong Governor Zhu Hongzhuo. Zhu Yizun decided to go to Guangzhou to see his son and meet his old friends whom he hadn't seen for years. After all, it is interesting for lovers to be new, and friends are better to be old.

as early as the 24th year of Kangxi (1685), Zhu Yizun had the idea of visiting Guangdong again when he bid farewell to Liang Peilan in Beijing. Guangdong is attractive to Zhu Yizun, first of all, because there are old friends like Chen Gongyin and Qu Dajun here and they have good connections. Secondly, Guangdong has beautiful scenery. You can wash your feet in the water at the 18th beach of Longlong, and climb the stone buildings of Luofu Mountain to let the mountain wind blow your sleeves. Third, Guangdong is a world of delicious food, with banana yellow, litchi red, scallop crisp and snail fat, where you can feast your eyes. Fourth, Guangdong is a relatively comfortable world, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so you don't have to worry about getting into trouble with words when you dance here.

in December, Zhu Yizun finally arrived in Guangzhou. But Qu Dajun was not in Yangcheng. It was not until the first month of next year that Zhu Yizun met with Qu Dajun and Liang Peilan in Guangzhou. In February, Zhu met Chen Gongyin again. Thirty-six years have passed since they last parted. On February 8th, accompanied by Chen Gongyin, Qu Dajun and Liang Peilan, Zhu Yizun visited Guangxiao Temple. According to legend, Guangxiao Temple was the old home of people in the Three Kingdoms period. Yu Fan moved to Lingnan because he offended Sun Quan. Although he was released from prison, he gave lectures tirelessly. He lived in Lingnan for more than ten years and often had hundreds of disciples. After Yu Fan's death, his family gave his house as a temple. Later, Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor, talked with the monks about the wind in the temple and cut his hair and was ordained under the bodhi tree. Zhu Yizun visited Guangxiao Temple with Chen Zisheng when he first came to Guangdong.

In Guangxiao Temple, Zhu Yizun also saw the iron tower cast by Liu Yong. The tower was built in the tenth year of Dabao, with seven floors, a lotus seat with a phase wheel and a height of two feet. The names listed on the tower are all eunuchs. At that time, Liu Yong also cast bronze statues of himself and his sons, which were listed in Tianqing Temple. By the early Qing Dynasty, they were gone.

Only three days after meeting Chen Gongyin, Zhu Yizun returned to Jiaxing from Guangzhou with his son Kuntian. Liang Peilan gave Zhu Yizun a bamboo box, saying it was native to Guangdong. When Zhu Yizun opened it, he was surprised to find that there were two branches, and the butterfly cocoons on the branches hung two by two. When he returned to Qujiang, Guangdong, a colorful butterfly broke out of its cocoon. Zhu Yizun called for the boat to stop, but in his hurry, he forgot that he was barefoot.

as the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. Of course, celebrities should use famous inkstones. On this trip to Guangdong, Zhu Yizun also brought back a few thousand kilograms of inkstone from Duanzhou, and his pride was like that of the fisherman who sailed away with a full load. Later, he ordered craftsmen to use these inkstones to make more than 1 square inkstones. One of them is a "writing inkstone", which is big and clean, and Zhu Yizun loves it like an arch. He once showed it to Song Luo for identification. Song Luo said, "White and fine, gold and silver thread, banana leaves and melons are all beautiful. Wash it with Tianshui immediately after grinding ink, and don't leave ink rust to cover it up. " Zhu Yizun said: "How can Yang Yuhuan be unkempt!" The left side of the writing inkstone was later engraved with the inscription written by Song Luo. More than a hundred other square water rocks and inkstones have dispersed over time, leaving only this one to accompany Zhu Yizun for life.
