According to legend, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty dreamed at night that a god with a golden body and a white light hanging from his head was flying from the western sky. He did not know whether he was good or bad, but a large number of ministers gathered to interpret the dream and learned that the god in the dream was the great sage of the West - Buddha.
Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent Cai Xu and other 18 people to seek Dharma in Tianzhu. Therefore, Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan traveled thousands of miles across the quicksand to spread the Dharma in China, and the first Buddhist temple in China was established in Luoyang.
White Horse Temple.
Zhu Falan, an eminent monk from Central Tianzhu, was the teacher of Tianzhu scholars. He was well-read and memorized, and could recite millions of words of scriptures. Zhu Falan left a prophecy when he passed away at Baima Temple. Once there is chaos in the Central Plains, Samana practitioners can go to the place of "Two Fires and One Sword".
The earth avoids disasters of war and fire, and promotes Buddhism.
During the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Buddhist temples in Luoyang were completely destroyed and the monks were scattered. A monk from Baima Temple found Zhu Falan's last words while checking the scriptures, and said that "two fires and one sword" were the word "剡". This matter was discussed among the monks.
After it spread in China, several eminent monks led their disciples southward to gather in Xixi in Shan County, Kuaiji County. Zhi Mingdu was also an eminent monk who came south. Buddhist temples in Shan County were all built during that period. Among them, the famous Buddhist temples include Yinyu Temple, Yuan Dynasty Temple, etc.
Hua Temple and Qiguang Temple, Qiguang Temple is located at the foot of Wozhou Mountain in the southeast of Shan County.
Chen Caozhi took Lai Zhen and Jing Nu to set off in an ox cart, while Lingyou, the traveler of Qiguang Temple, walked. Chen Caozhi didn't know that Qiguang Temple was in Shan County, and only thought it was in the Shanyin County area of Kuiji, so he went here
It was only one hundred and forty miles away. When he learned that Qiguang Temple was in the east of Shan, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "The journey from Qian Tang to Shan County is not that far from that to Wu County. How can we go back and forth in five days?"
Traveler Lingyou said: "Chen Tanyue doesn't have to worry about the long journey. My master has given instructions. If you invite Chen Tanyue, he should go to Xie Anshi's villa in Dongshan, Kuaiji. Before the 20th of this month, my master will be at Xie's villa."
Chen Caozhi asked: "How far is it from Xie's villa?"
Xingzhe Lingyou, who had served the famous monk Zhimeidu for many years and spoke well, said: "Xie's villa is located in the southwest of Shangyu County, at the border with Shanyin County, in the middle of Dongshan, on the bank of Shan River, nearly two hundred miles away."
Chen Caozhi nodded and thought: "Two hundred miles round trip, five days is tight, but I can get back in time if I get up early and rest late." Then he went on his way with peace of mind, listening to the rumble of wheels, and thought: "It turns out that Xie's villa is in Shangyu
Within the county, it is no wonder that Zhu Yingting will be invited to attend the Dongshan Gathering. I wonder if Zhu Yingtai will also attend the gathering? The Zhu brothers - no, they are Zhu's sisters. The Zhu's sisters are talented, so they should not be the Xie's children.
under--"
Lai Zhen, the driver, said at this time: "Young Master should be able to catch the gathering at Xie's villa in Dongshan."
The traveler Lingyou said: "My master is going to attend the Dongshan Gathering for three days and will not leave until the 19th."
Lai Zhen said: "Today is sixteen, there is still time."
Chen Cao said: "I asked Master Zhimindu to treat my mother's illness, so I had no time to attend the Sizhu Gathering." Even so, I still felt very sorry and had an indescribable doubt. I always felt that there was something wrong.
I haven't figured it out yet, but I can't figure out what it is. Sometimes I seem to have an idea, but when I think about it more deeply, I still have no clue. It's like searching for fragrance in the mist. A gust of wind comes, the mist changes, and the scenery is beautiful.
That changed. Chen Cao had always had clear thoughts and was good at reasoning. It was rare to feel so confused and confused——
The summer solstice has passed, the days are long and the nights are short, so they are on their way. When it gets completely dark, Chen Cao and his four friends arrive in Yuji County, rest for the night, and then start the road again early the next morning. They pass through Shanyin County and are surrounded by Gujian Lake and lakes.
It is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the beauty of its peaks and ridges is even better than that of Wu County——
Wang Xizhi visited Kuaiji and left a poem saying: "Walking up the mountain valley is like swimming in a mirror." Wang Xianzhi visited Kuaiji and said: "Walking up from the mountain valley, the mountains and rivers reflect each other, making people overwhelmed."; Gu Kaizhi returned to Wu County from Shanyin.
When people asked about the beauty of mountains and rivers, they replied: "Thousands of rocks are competing for beauty, thousands of valleys are contending for water flow, and the vegetation is covered with greenery, and the clouds are like steaming clouds."
Although Chen Caozhi was worried about his mother's health and felt depressed, he felt relieved after passing through the mountain valley and seeing the picturesque mountains and rivers.
The traveler Lingyou pointed to Lanzhu Mountain in the distance and said: "Chen Tanyue, that is where the Lanting gathering was held six years ago."
Chen Caozhi looked at the high mountains and lush forests and cultivated bamboos in the distance, recalling the Lanting gathering in the ninth year of Yonghe. At that time, Xie An, Sun Chuo and other celebrities attended the gathering, performed the ritual of cultivating wild crops, drank wine and composed poems. Later, Wang Xizhi collected everyone's poems and essays.
Compiled the collection and wrote a preface, which is the famous "Preface to the Lanting Collection". While Wang Xizhi was intoxicated with wine, he quickly wrote this preface on silkworm cocoon paper and a mouse-whisker pen. It has twenty-eight lines in total and three chapters.
One hundred and twenty-four characters, some of which are repeated, are all varied and exquisite.
Chen Caozhi recited the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" silently, thinking: "I know that life and death are a fantasy, and the death of Qi and Peng is an illusion. Although Wang Xizhi is broad-minded, he can't let go of life and death."
That day we drove until midnight and arrived at Dongguan, a small town in the eastern suburbs of Shangyu County. The traveler Lingyou said: "Dongguan is only twenty miles away from Xie's villa in Dongshan. We can arrive there tomorrow morning."
On the morning of May 18th, Chen Caozhi took a shower and changed clothes. He wore a small black lacquered gauze crown with a crown that was lightly tied under his chin. He was wearing a thin kudzu single jacket, a wide robe and big sleeves. He was handsome and handsome as he walked through Dongguan Xiao.
The streets and alleys of the town are eye-catching.
At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Cao and his party came to the left bank of the Shan River. In front of them was the Dongshan Mountain covered with green trees. The mountains were undulating and covered dozens of miles in radius. Together with the Shan River that went around the mountain, this area was the territory of Xie's villa.
There is a villa gate at the foot of the mountain, which is like the mountain gate of a temple. There are several rows of wooden houses on both sides, guarded by villagers. Xingzhe Lingyou explained his intention, and a villager led the way, leading Xingzhe Lingyou and Chen Caozhi into the villa.
After walking through more than a hundred wide stone steps, several tall dragon-clawed pine trees welcome the guests. The terrain here is relatively flat. After walking a few dozen feet, there is a short red mud wall surrounding a small manor. The villager enters
After a while, a dian from Xie's manor came out. He looked at Chen Cao and said with a smile on his face: "This is Chen Langjun of Qiantang. Mr. Du left for Qiantang yesterday. Chen Langjun
Didn’t you meet me on the road?”
Chen Cao was stunned, Du Gong was just Zhimin Du, but how did he get to Qian Tang?
Xingzhe Lingyou hurriedly asked what happened, and Dian Ji said: "Duke Du learned that Chen Langjun's father-in-law was ill. Yesterday, accompanied by my husband, Mr. Chen, he went to Qiantang to treat Chen Langjun's father-in-law."
Chen Caozhi was so happy that he wanted to rush back immediately. He caught up with Master Zhi Mindu halfway and went back to Chenjiawu together. However, he thought that it would be rude not to visit Xie An since he arrived at Xie's villa, so he said: "
I dare you to inform Duke An Shi and I will see you later in Qian Tang and Chen Cao."
Dianji then led Chen Caozhi up the mountain path on the left side of the small manor, and after walking down a gentle slope, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music reaching his ears through the forest and trees, which was particularly ethereal and beautiful.
On the hillside near the cliff, there is a large wooden building with eight windows. Behind the wooden building is a large bamboo forest. On the left side of the wooden building is a large bush of roses. Roses bloom at the turn of spring and summer, but in Xie's Manor in Dongshan
But the roses always bloom late. Now that the summer solstice has passed and June is approaching, these yellow and red roses are still competing to bloom.
When Dianji went in to report, Chen Caozhi stood at the foot of the steps, smelling the fragrance of roses, listening to the music in the building, and said to himself: "If you can't put a stone in place, what will happen to the people in the world?"
According to historical records, Xie An once asked his nephews what was the best line in "Mao's Poems"? Xie Xuan replied, "I am gone in the past, and the willows are still there.";
Heart." Xie An thinks that his niece Xie Daoyun is an elegant and profound person. Xie An himself chose "Momo decides his fate, and it is as early as the morning announcement." From this sentence, it can be seen that Xie An's political ambitions are by no means willing to live in the mountains and forests, but last month
Xi Chao came to invite Xie An to come out. Xie An is still having a banquet with silk and bamboo. It seems that he has no idea of going out to join politics.
Chen Caozhi suddenly remembered that when he and Zhu Yingtai were discussing "Mao's Poems", Zhu Yingtai also highly praised the two sentences "Ji Fu's praise, Mu is like the breeze"——
Before Chen Caozhi could think too much, the music in the building suddenly became silent, and then two beautiful young men came out to greet him. The young man on the left, who was slightly pale and beautiful, stood on the verandah and looked towards Chen Caozhi first.
After looking up and down, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zi Zhong, my father has invited me."
Chen Caozhi returned the gift, walked calmly, climbed the seven steps, took off his shoes and entered the wooden building. He saw Jin Ma's bluff, several cases were listed, and more than a dozen young people on the seat looked at Chen Caozhi.
Chen Caozhi did not squint, only looking at the tall and tall man sitting to the north. This man was about forty years old, with a face like a jade, three locks of long beard, slender eyes, raised brows, and he opened his eyes.
With clear eyes and a fan in his hand, the man had several female prostitutes sitting on either side of him, with fragrant clothes and beautiful hair, all looking at Chen Caozhi.
Chen Caozhi bowed his head to the man and said in a clear voice: "Qian Tang, Chen Caozhi, pays homage to Duke Anshi."
This man is Xie An, who is known as the most famous scholar in Jiangzuo. He stood up slowly at this time. He was about seven feet four inches tall, half a head taller than Chen Caozhi. He was tall but not strong, and his figure was extraordinary. He looked at Chen Cao
He smiled and said: "Since last month, guest Xi talked about Chen Caozhi of Qian Tang Dynasty. For more than a month, I have heard the name of Chen Caozhi all the time. How happy I am to see you today - please sit down."
Chen Caozhi did not sit down and said, "I hope Mr. An Shi will forgive Cao for being rude. Cao Zhi wants to rush back to Qiantang immediately. Jia Ci is not in good health. I am here to ask Duke Du to diagnose and treat Jiasi. I just learned that Duke Du is here."
I already went to Qiantang yesterday, and I want to rush back immediately. I came here to inform Mr. An Shi that I will take my leave." After that, he bowed deeply again, saluted everyone in the seat, and then exited, striding away.
go.
Xie An walked to the long window, looked at Chen Caozhi's back, and said: "This son is worried about his mother's illness, and his eyes are filled with worry, but he still speaks and behaves calmly, and his demeanor is so good that it is rare to see him."
He turned his head to the people in the seat and said: "Ning Zhi, Hui Zhi, you two said that Chen Cao's playing the recorder has the flavor of King Huan Ye. It's a pity that we can't hear it today."
Wang Huizhi said with a smile: "Chen Cao is as graceful as a startled dragon. He comes and goes in a hurry. Uncle Anshi is sorry."
