I remember that in the junior high school or high school textbooks, there are selected texts of "The Journey of the Old Remnant", and what I vaguely remember is the Tiegong Ancestral Hall, Baotu Spring, and the sentence "Every spring water, weeping willows in every household", as if I have arrived in Jiangnan Water Town.
The impression of the old remnant should be a jianghu Langzhong, living on crutches, carrying a jacket, the other hand of the canvas signboard, all day long in the clouds, "The Old Remnant Travel" should also be like "Xu Xiake Travel" and other travel anecdotes of the collection.
It wasn't until I finished reading it that I didn't know it was much more interesting. There are rivers and lakes, there are official scenes, there are small bridges and flowing water, there are tigers and dragons, there are emergencies and rescues, there are the world's hot and cold, there are King Kong's angry eyes, and there are also nun Sifan...
"The Journey of the Old Crippled" is another strange book I have read. There is an insight about the nunnery in the book, which subverts my view of the monks and nuns, and reflects my own loneliness. Let me elaborate:
The old remnant and his party of four traveled to Mount Taishan through a nunnery - Doumu Palace, and it happened to be a meal, so they wanted to eat a meal. Who would have thought there would be a hole in it. Private rooms, rare antiques, which is what kind of nunnery, is clearly a rich and noble family's study.
The old remnant literati rioters saw at a glance a pair of Tibetan head joints: beautiful makeup was more colorful than lotus flowers, and Yun Mu Xiangsheng Baye Sutra. It turned out that this was the room of a nun named Liang Yun, which was really surprising.
The drop is more interesting: Liangyun Daoyou Fajian, Three Mountains Foot Monk Drunken Pen. Feelings are written by a monk for a nun, and it is also a drunken monk of Yunyou, how many precepts to break, Amitabha.
Then the old remnant played some literary techniques, how could Liang Yun appear so easily, first fishing for the appetite of the officials.
So two sisters-in-law with their hair and cultivation, brightly dressed, and smeared with grease and powder came to receive them, talking and behaving, but there was a bit of red dust, talking about clothing, but saying: Our temple has been since the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been like this. When you see us dressed up like this, are you surprised, only because our temple receives more guests who go up the mountain to burn incense, either officials or gentlemen, probably most of the people who read books, so we have to read all the books from a young age, read the classics until we read halfway, do homework, and have officials and gentry to accompany them to talk, which is not annoying. And because the nun's attire is quite taboo for criminals, if you take office, or if there is a very happy event, it is probably said that it is not auspicious to see a nun, so we were all dressed in this outfit before the age of thirty, and once we passed thirty, we all shaved our heads...
You see, what a thoughtful, meticulous and thoughtful sister-in-law.
There is also a more subversive worldview: they can also drink with pilgrims and guess boxing, joke and make games, if they look at each other correctly, the two are happy, and they can even "invite the official upstairs".
Is this a nunnery, it's like a private clubhouse, what kind of world do you say it is?
As for Liangyun, I also bought a guanzi, not much to say, saying more is tears. Anyway, a little nun who is proficient in Buddhism, has both talents and looks, and who is cardamom years old, is looked at by a county official's Yauchi, and hey, there are not many nuns in front of the door.
After reading such an old remnant travelogue, my little heart really can't stand it, my Hongdu Bailian life on the shore of Daming Lake. Obviously, it is a classic, but it is so heart-rending and sincere, is it a tribute to Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng.
Finally, I gained a deeper understanding of the two precepts in some people's home training.
First, there is no chance of monkhood.
There are bad people among the monks and Taoists in Yunyou. Suddenly remembering the monk Pei Ruhai who committed adultery with Yang Xiong's wife in the Water Margin, it was an example. I still remember which novel had such a description: some small couples in the village could not have children, the women would go to the temple to burn incense and ask for children, and when they were tired, they would go to the box room to rest for a while, and when they came back, they might be able to do it. Although Buddhism is pure, it is sometimes dirty and dirty. The lack of opportunity for monks is not only confidence, but also avoids a lot of trouble.
Second, the bridesmaids are not allowed to associate with the three sisters and six wives.
What are the three sisters and six wives, the three sisters, the nuns, the Daogu, and the guagu; the six wives, the tooth woman, the matchmaker, the teacher, the godly woman, the medicine woman, and the stable woman. The negative examples here are Ma Daobo in the dream of the Red Chamber, and the wang po in the Water Margin.
Nun Sifan, why should Vajra be angry, may as well lower the bodhisattva's eyebrows. It's all mixed food, and it's not easy for anyone.
