Lin Kui's plum blossom poems are read three times: picking the rope and opening three or two flowers, tuan luan empty hundreds of times
"The shadow is shallow and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats at dusk." Song Dynasty hermit Lin Kui plum blossom famous sentence
Lin Kui's fame was so great that he had never imagined it before his death. When Lin Kui was 45 years old, he had been living in seclusion in The Lonely Mountain for five years, because he was related to a high monk, and his poems were extremely well written, and his people were simple and low-key, so Wang Sui and Xue Ying, the shou of Hangzhou County, had intersected with him, and Fan Zhongyan Mei Yaochen also had poetry and singing with him.
Why did such a middle-aged man make the high-ranking officials of the Northern Song Dynasty admire him?
First, he did have talent and ability, and he had a deep friendship with the monks, and the specific deeds are now untraceable, but from the perspective of his dealings with the monks, they have known each other for a long time. This connection may go back to before he was 40 years old. Before Lin Kui was forty years old, he had his own social experience, usually if the readers did not pass the entrance examination, their way out lay in the staff, the officials and guests, such an intermediate state, but also made them more contact with all levels of society, among which they must know the monk friends of the temple. And when he was young, Lin Kui must have been bold and sincere, which was the reason why he became a guest of honor at the Lonely Mountain Temple after middle age.
Second, the prosperity of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty is related to the official promotion of the Song Dynasty, which is also the fact that many high-ranking officials and politicians will go to the temple to meet and meet the senior monks. The monks of the Song Dynasty were generally very literate, and they could communicate culturally with high-ranking officials, and often had poems sung and sung. Then Lin Kui was in the Lonely Mountain, and there were high monks specially invited to help entertain. On the one hand, Lin Kui's poetry is of a high level, on the other hand, there should also be a personal friendship of monks here.
Third, Lin Kui was in the Lonely Mountain, and he did not bother the monastery because of money and other things, but he lived in the most rudimentary house, where he was self-sufficient and lived an extremely cold life. There must be the acquiescence of the monks here, because usually, the vicinity of the lonely mountain should be all temple property, or someone cultivated it, and it should also be managed by the temple.
Fourth, it is precisely this state of being a guest and not very troublesome that makes the monks respect him more. You can also see 40 years of social experience here, Lin Kui is very good at dealing with monks, presumably in daily life, he is very helpful to ordinary monks in the temple.
Fifth, in the gathering of monks and high-ranking officials, Lin Kui was not humble and unassuming, and won everyone's approval as a hermit. It has also become a business card of Lonely Mountain to diplomacy. At this time, with the appearance of a high-ranking monk, the high-ranking official gave Lin Kui the privilege of living in Gushan mountain in a special way, such as his house was built at the expense of Xue Ying, the sheriff of Hangzhou County. But Lin Kui didn't ask for much, a place that could receive guests, the area was not large, and it could really settle down. At this time, Song Zhenzong learned about his stories and poems through the chancellor and the ministers, and such an age was not suitable for him to start from his studies, or knowing that he was poor and sickly, he specially issued a decree to give him cloth and food, and asked the magistrates to have more compassion for him.
The 45-year-old Lin Kui settled down in the lonely mountain and planted a small pink plum blossom in the yard.
Why did he choose pink plum blossoms? At this time, the plum blossom cultivation technology of the Song Dynasty was very mature, and there were many white plums and red plums with multiple petals in the cultivation. But Lin Kui planted only a pink plum blossom. At that time, the lonely mountain was not a plum blossom flourishing place, and in the lin kui era, the lonely mountain had lakes and mountains, but there were not many plum blossoms, and there were also varieties of fruit and plum planted in the farmer's garden.
But Lin Kui specially planted a small pink plum blossom. The small plum blossom tree represents that he has the heart to cultivate and pamper this little seedling, and the pink represents love, warmth and womanhood. This small plum tree, which was not luxuriant, was not mentioned at that time in the rewards and poems of many friends who came with him, because it was really inconspicuous, and this was also the effect that Lin Kui wanted.
He planted plum blossoms, is his own sustenance, not about this little plum blossom is not liked by others, or even not noticed better, that is his heart's love.
"After several years of idle gardening, there were no new poems to Xiaomei.
Picking the rope opened three or two more flowers, and the tuan luan aired a hundred thousand times.
The desolate neighbors are at the beginning of the mountain, and the evening scenery is forbidden to snow.
Send a message of fragrance and less sorrow, and give a cup for Jun Yin. Northern Song Dynasty · Lin Kui "Another Yong Xiaomei"
After living here for a few years, the little plum blossom finally grew up slowly, and Lin Kui began to write plum blossom poems, noting that these plum blossom poems were not songs and works, but were written specifically for himself.
I have been the owner of this garden for several years and have never written a poem to this little plum tree.
It opened three or two more times today, and I kept wandering around it a thousand times.
This is a lonely mountain in the wilderness at dusk, the mountain color is gradually disappearing in the twilight, the sky is full of snow, and it is about to snow.
I said to Meihua, you don't have to worry and worry, there I am here, drinking with you, accompanying you as a companion.
I said that the lonely mountain is less plum, but unlike the successive plum blossom forests here later, but near the huge West Lake, how can there be no beautiful plum trees? If Lin Kui is an ordinary person who loves plum blossoms, he will definitely write more poems.
But his poems were reserved only for this little pink plum blossom he had planted himself.
Lin Kui's love for Mei is not pan-love, but other sustenance.
He hadn't written plum blossoms for several years, but he watched the little plum blossoms grow up every day, and in this plum blossoming snowstorm, he finally spoke and said, I am.
Plum Blossom is indeed like his wife, his love is unspoken, in a long wait.
"The mist phase is sticky and frozen, and a branch is deeply cold in the bamboo bushes.
Stand next to each other day by day, and wish to look up at the end of the year.
The russet powder is too crumbled, and the red wax is first dried.
Xiang Jiao drank alone to talk about life, and from then on the group was also prosperous. Northern Song Dynasty · Lin Kui's "Plum Blossom Two Songs Part 1"
This is a plum blossom after a night of snow, the branches still carry the cold of the night, and the beautiful plum blossoms look particularly beautiful at the edge of the bamboo bushes.
I stand by your side every day, and I wish I could see you at the end of each year.
Your flower buds are in the pink petals, as beautiful as finely cut pink silk, and your purple flower peduncle is bright and full like red wax.
Seeing here, this is the work of a 60-year-old man, who observes the plum blossoms in the snow so delicately, with deep affection, what do you think?
This is to see a favorite woman grooming, pink, purple, like a handsome and beautiful bride.
I am in front of you today, I wish you a toast, congratulations on your birthday, with you so beautiful and moving, the flowers of spring are eclipsed.
Who can really look around a small plum blossom that is not very luxuriant every day?
And where is the plum blossom where there is a fixed birthday, but Lin Kui solemnly said, today is your birthday.
What you will associate, it is sacrifice and remembrance.
It's like we're holding a glass to someone who has passed away, come on, good food.
Even if nothing is buried under the plum tree, this plum blossom must represent Lin Kui's favorite and the most painful, a woman, in his heart, in his daily wandering and watching.
Plum blossoms are her soul.
"What is the lone root in Chai Jing, the village color will still be waiting for the lala.
The smoke in the horizontal partition is quiet, and the semi-sticky residual snow is not clear.
Waiting for idle questions to chant who is ashamed, the sub-detailed phase seems to have feelings.
After scratching the first shouyang for a thousand years, it can be green grass and weeds. Northern Song Dynasty · Lin Kui," Plum Blossom Two Songs, Part II
Later generations have rumored that Lin Kui planted three hundred plum blossoms in the Lonely Mountain, and lived the second half of his life in the sea of fragrant snow of plum blossoms.
But in fact, from the beginning to the end, only a pink plum blossom was planted.
You said why this plum blossom came to my door, it is very simple, Lin Kui planted it himself, accompanied by here day and night, but he had to ask, plum blossom, why are you here?
It was nothing more than a summoning of his wishes.
I like your plum blossoms, quiet in the smoke and rain, cold in the residual snow, just like my life.
Those inscriptions on plum blossoms are all blasphemous to you, and I watched you grow up here with me, a gesture with a pulse.
You floated on the tip of Princess Shouyang's eyebrows, embellished with her beauty, would you like to accompany me now, this desolate place, quietly open and fall?
This is a special writing about the beauty of plum blossoms, but you can think of his heart, the person I like, I can only accompany you like this, are you willing?
Willing or not, plum blossoms are all there.
This plum blossom, which has been raised for more than ten years, has finally grown up.
Lin Kui made his own grave next to the house. He wanted to rest under this plum tree he had planted.
Meihua is Lin Kui's wife, but in reality, Lin Kui has a wife and children, and when he was in his 40s, he bid farewell to his wife and adult children to come to the Lonely Mountain, swim in the mountains and rivers, and suffer from coldness, because a former lover such as Meihua died early. The girl's death brought Lin Kui great pain. After settling in Lonely Mountain in his 40s, he planted only one plum blossom that represented her, and accompanied her until old age.
After his death, some good people believed that Lin Kui's reputation was huge, and there must be treasure in the tomb, and the result was only a brick platform and a plum blossom hairpin.
When I write this, everyone understands Lin Kui's life.
His plum blossom poems are well written, not that he loves the plum blossoms in this world, but the weak water three thousand, and he only loves his plum blossoms.
The soul is in the plum blossom.
