On the south bank of Daming Lake, there is a pavilion in the north of the Qiuliu Poetry Society, called the Tianxin Water Surface Pavilion. Built on the water, this pavilion is not only exquisitely shaped, simple and atmospheric in structure, but also has deep historical roots.
The Tianxin Water Pavilion began in the Yuan Dynasty and was built by the university scholar Li Yan. In that year, Li Yan built a villa on the shore of Daming Lake and named the apartment "YunGe Eight Poles", which was called "Transcendent Building". He also made a pavilion on the lake, taking the poetic meaning of the song Dynasty poet Shao Yong's poem "Qing Ye Yin" that reads, "When the moon reaches the heart of heaven, when the wind comes to the water", and named it the Tianxin Water Surface Pavilion.
For this pavilion, Yuan Wenzong at that time also attached great importance to it, and also ordered the famous scholar and poet Yu Ji (1272-1348) to write a record of its events, which is the "Tianxin Water Pavilion" that has survived to this day.
Tianxin Water Surface Pavilion records the spring of the third year of the celestial calendar, and the subjects, the subjects, the ministers, and the nine thoughts of the ministers were served with the swallows of the Qing Dynasty, and the mountains and rivers were victorious. Chen Jiu thought: "The landscape of Jinan is like Jiangnan, and it is dead or excessive." The residence of the subject, on Daming Lake, is a pavilion in the water of the earth, and you can look around its scenic spots, known as the 'Tianxin Water Surface', you can imagine its place! "Therefore, there is a collection of courtiers, and the book is written in its list. The poem of Shao Yongshi of the Former Song Dynasty: "When the moon reaches the heart of heaven, when the wind comes to the water", the subject covers all of this. The subject Wen Yongzhi was the Tao, and the Upper Reach Bao Xi was so great that Emperor Yao, Zhou Wen, and Confucius flourished. His first learning also lived in seclusion in the mountains of the hundred plains, looking up and thinking about it, until he forgot the cold and heat. If so, twenty years. It was produced in the "Imperial Pole Classic", and its temperament is contained in poetry. Cheng Haoshi's words said: "As far as it is concerned, it can be said that it is safe and complete!" "Oh! What can be the so-called wise knower of the ancients? But how can the minister know enough? Although, those who eavesdrop on the two words of Si, are not the intersection of yin and yang, movement and stillness? According to the "Heavenly Chart": The yang is exhausted in the middle of the afternoon and is born, which is intended to be the moon cave; the yin is revived in the end of the child, and it is intended to be the heavenly root. Tiangen is also known as "Tianxin", and the so-called "Tianxin has not changed" is also. With the moon in the heart of heaven, who is not the intersection of yin and yang? Xun is the gua, yin is the main, and the thing is the wind; the kan is the gua, the yang is the main, and the thing is water. Walking above the water at the beginning of the wind, not the beginning of the movement? The so-called "one movement and one stillness, the most wonderful people in heaven and earth", the most wonderful people are visible here, and the subject is not enough to say it. Please take the personnel theory: the moon to the heavenly heart, the clear to the also; the wind to the water, and the harmony to the also. If the present husband and month do not make a profit, it is not enough in the east; if it is lost, it is not enough in the west, and if it is not in the heart of heaven, how can it see the whole? For example, if the hearts of all people have the slightest material desire, they cannot be cleared; if they fall into emptiness, they are absolutely nothing, and they are not the same. The waters of this husband are gushing, a thousand miles a day, tending to descend without arguing, and the waters are abysses, and the attention is the sea, what does it mean to be in conflict? Once there is a wind blowing, it will run across the fury, whisk and harmful things, then why take the water? It will also be to the water of peace and meet the wind of the husband's movement, and its sense is also small, and its should also be pu, and it is not harmonious to wensheng, not to the harmony? For example, if the hearts of all people are touched, and the infants are in things, they cannot be reconciled; and they cannot be reconciled, and they are not the same. It is the gentleman who feels the inadequacy of the song of the qinghe and the eternal song. Chen's talent is bright and refreshing, and it should be easy to be happy, and it is advisable to take it from here. Please remember.
For Yu Ji, some spring fans may not be familiar with it, in fact, he is still relatively famous in history.
