Fuping County, Shaanxi Province is located in the transition zone between the Guanzhong Plain and the Northern Shaanxi Plateau. It has been a "famous town in Guanzhong" since ancient times. In the northeast of the county, there is Mingyue Mountain, which is more than 400 feet high. It is the crown of all the peaks in Fuping. Because of the mountain's shape from the main peak to the southeast,
Two veins extend from the southwest, shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name.
There is the famous "Mingyue Temple" on the top of Mingyue Mountain. It was built in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It has "Eight Immortals Stone Cave" and "Buddhist Temple". The King of Medicine Sun Zhenren Simiao once practiced in the temple and applied medicine.
Ji Shi. During the Ming Dynasty of Tomorrow, there was an eminent monk, Mr. Zhao, who was a descendant of the Song Dynasty. He called himself the Lord of the Mountain and lived in seclusion in a temple. He used medicine to help people, and those who got them recovered immediately. If anyone invited him, he would ride on a tiger. Legend has it that Mr. Zhao lived in Zhenren Sun.
After he passed away, he lived in Shiyao Li and his body remained in a stone valley at the east foot of Mingyue Mountain. People then called the valley Zhao Laoyu.
It was snowing heavily in the twelfth lunar month and there were few people around. On the stone path up the mountain from Zhaolaoyu, two scribes were walking leisurely.
Both of them are in their thirties.
The older one, with a restrained air and gentle manners, was Li Yong, a famous philosopher in the Ming Dynasty. This person's courtesy name was Zhongfu and his nickname was Erqu. He was born in Zhou Zhi, Shaanxi Province. He had profound attainments in Neo-Confucianism.
Sun Qifeng is also known as the three great scholars in China.
The younger one, whose surname is Li, whose name is Bai, whose courtesy name is Xuemu, is from Mei County, Shaanxi Province, and whose nickname is Taibai Mountain. He has a red face, a tall body, and an unusual build. Although he is thick and strong, he is not a reckless man, but a famous writer in the Ming Dynasty.<

These two people and Li Yindu of Fuping were both from Shaanxi, and were collectively known as the "Three Lis of Guanzhong". The three Lis had similar interests and were not willing to be officials. They only wanted to immerse themselves in learning at home, so they became friends. This time, Li Yong
, Li Bai went to Mingyue Temple due to Li Yindu’s invitation.
Li Yindu, also known as Zide and nicknamed Tiansheng, was a strange man. It was not that he was a well-known thinker, educator, phonologist and poet because of his erudition; it was that he was not an official but cared about current affairs.
This person was born into a loyal family. His father, Li Yinglin, was a disciple of Feng Congwu, a Confucian scholar of Guan Dynasty. His grandmother, Yang, was a model of "loyalty to the emperor". When Li Zicheng captured Fuping, Yang led eighty-one members of his family to self-immolate and died. Because Du was talented and intelligent,
At the age of five, he read scriptures and history, and never forgot them. When he was seven years old, his mother took out his father's suicide note and a small portrait of Feng Congwu, and cried: "This is the true biography of Confucius and Mencius, as if my father had devoted himself to it in the past. I will try my best from now on, just like my father."
In order not to perish." So he recited it day and night without letting go of the scroll, inheriting his father's will and making great progress in learning. After Jiashen, the Qing army entered the pass. At the age of thirteen, he felt the pain of the country's subjugation, and determined to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Together with Gu Yanwu of Kunshan,
Become best friends.
It is precisely because of his passion that Li Yindu developed a heart that dared not forget about the country even though he was in a humble position. While writing books among the people, he criticized the current ills and discussed the government. He gave guidance to the country and inspired writings, down to
There were almost no corrupt officials that he did not dare to scold, even up to the emperor's court. Gradually, his reputation grew. After the massacre of Kuliping, he personally wrote the "Essay on Commemorating the Common People of Kuliping" to commemorate the tragic death of Rakshasa.
The people in the hands of others became very popular for a while and became the new leader of Shilin.
In fact, the reason why he became the new leader of Shilin was mainly because of the current situation where the older generation of Shilin leaders did not dare to speak.
Emperor Guangwu had a strong desire for power, suppressed freedom of speech, and practiced the idea of being the only one in the world. He Wuzou, Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Huang Zongyan, Huang Zonghui and other great Confucian scholars were excluded from the court one after another, and what was left was like money.
Qianyi and others were also so scared that they were walking on thin ice all day long.
It is said that the old emperor hated scholars talking about government affairs. Once when he chatted with Huang Zongxi, he directly threatened: "The army is in my hands, and the state affairs are also in my hands. How can you dare to say more?" Huang Zongxi resigned and returned to his hometown the next day.

The older generation of scholar leaders did not dare to speak out, but Li Yindu dared. The blood in his chest was hot and he was not afraid of death! From time to time, when he saw injustice, he would comment on it, often in "Fushe Daily" and "Fushe Daily"
Yunjian Jishe Newspaper, Nanshe Newspaper and other democratic newspapers wrote articles criticizing the emperor.
It is strange to say that the less afraid of death, the less the old emperor dared to kill. He said, "It is easy for me to kill one Li Yindu. I am afraid that all the scholars will follow Li Yindu's death as an example and thousands of others will appear."
Thousands of Li Yindu come out!"
The old emperor did not dare to kill him, so he made more fun. Seeing that Emperor Guangwu had suppressed freedom of speech and was willing to be a tyrant of the people. He had already decided on the world and was hopeless, so he put his hope in the princes. He entrusted "Taicang"
The Four Gentlemen" Chen Hu, Jiang Shishao, Sheng Jing, and Lu Shiyi went to Beijing to inspect the three princes to see which one was the most virtuous and could be worthy of Yao and Shun. As a result, the four gentlemen all said that the prince was a coward and the King of Yu was playful. Only the King of Ji was virtuous and had the hope of world unity.
It’s on King Ji.
Upon seeing this, Li Yindu asked Lu Shiyi to assist the King of Ji. He also contacted Qian Qianyi, Wang Lue, Lu Zebo, Lu Longqi, Chen Hu, Sheng Jing, Jiang Shishao and other officials from Donglin to drum up support for the King of Ji.
Yuhu. Except for Qian Qianyi, these people are all minor officials, but their reputations are not small. Holding them together can be a force.
"Brother Zhongfu, look at the "Mingyue Mountain Gauge" written by Zhao Lao," Li Bai said, pointing to a line of poetry carved on the stone valley, as free and unrestrained as flowing water.
Li Yong took a look at it and saw it read: "The bright moon and clear breeze make it easy to meditate. Don't let your mind wander through the mountains and rivers. If you don't practice emptiness in this life and return, you will meet the human body again tens of thousands of years ago."
He smiled and said, "Is this your first time to climb Mingyue Mountain, Xuemu Xiandi? This mountain is high in the clouds, with steep and majestic shores, deep valleys, and lush vegetation. It is connected to Longyan to the west, Jade Mirror to the east, and three feet to the north, overlooking Sanfu.
. It is truly a first-class blessed place in Guanzhong! It is said that Mr. Zhao often rode a tiger and used medicine here to save people. Come on, I will lead you up. There are still poems written by Zide on it."
/p>
When he heard that his friend Li Yindu had also left a calligraphy treasure on the mountain, Li Bai's interest increased greatly. He hurriedly picked up the pace and followed Li Yong to see it. What he saw in the poem was: "Pin Shannan went to pick up Tongyu, and Mr. Zhao went to the wilderness to escape."
The poem is not long, but it vividly depicts the scene of Mr. Zhao retreating from the world and riding a tiger to dispense medicine.
On a whim, he said: "I will also write a poem." He ordered the boy to get pen and ink and write on the valley: "The bright moon is bright on the top of the mountain, and the bright moon is shining brightly on the mountain city. The lady Zhong Mingyue in front of the mountain loves to watch the bright moon go down.
There is a bright moon shining on the grass and trees on the mountain. How can people be ruthless when they see the bright moon? The bright moon comes into my arms, and my body is as clear as the bright moon. Hairpin is the wife in front of the bright moon mountain, and my husband is the hero in front of the bright moon mountain. I only know that the moon is full and the mountain is long, but the moon is missing.
Like a falling moon. When the moon rises, the yellow swans weep beside the mountains, and when the moon sets, the swallows at the gates of the mountains do not sing. Now I am singing the song of the moon in the mountains, and the bright moon is bright and the mountains are green."
"Okay, okay! Brother Xian, this poem vividly depicts the beautiful temperament of the lady in front of the mountain." Li Yong praised him with his palms clenched, and said with a smile: "Three Lis in Guanzhong, we have the same interests. You two have made good poems, brother Yu.
You have to write a poem."
I really wrote a cyclic poem "San Li Mountain Climbing":
Sanli climbs Mingyue Mountain,
Climb Mingyue Mountain and walk around the painting lantern.
The mountains surrounding the painting are thousands of feet high,
A thousand feet high and three Li Pan.
