In my study, I always hung the ink treasure given to me by my friend: "Crane Language". My understanding is: with the crane language, listen to the crane language.
The study is the White Crane Tower in my heart.
There is also a White Crane Tower, on the Shore of the Yellow Sea, the Nine Immortals Mountain. That white crane had been hovering around the Nine Immortals Mountain.
The mountains are frank, the water spirits are beautiful, the people are kind, and the cranes care for here.
(Jiuxian Mountain Wanshou Peak is also known as Five Finger Peak)
Nine Immortals Mountain Yang, under the Wanshou Peak, surrounded by mountains, babbling streams, pines and cypresses, bamboo towering, green tea fragrance.
Winter can avoid cold winds, summer can withstand sea fog. Warm in winter and cool in summer, suitable for human habitation.
(Dingjialouzi Village next to the White Crane Tower)
In the dazzling position, there is a boulder, and the stone top has a platform of more than twenty meters. On the south side of the table, there are nine artificial chiseled holes with a pore diameter of about five centimeters and an equidistant line, a stone wall foundation on the southeast side, and lime marks on the northeast side.
There are stone carvings in Shidong Heather, all of which are called: "White Crane Tower". Shi Dong is a vertical row of letters, yin carving, the upper paragraph is unrecognizable, and the lower paragraph is "The end of September in the ninth year of Xi Ning", which is a stone carving of the Song Dynasty. Shi Nan is a horizontal row of calligraphy, the right is engraved "Song Xining Nine Years Su Shi Shu in Shidong", the left is engraved "Ming Wanli Forty Years Ding YaoDou Imitates This", Kai Shu, Yin carved (the pattern or text is carved into a concave shape).
The white crane chooses where it has its freedom, and it is not something that humans can influence. Being a neighbor with a white crane is also a blessing.
Su Shi and Ding Yaodou came more than once. One of them is the Taishou of Mizhou, and the other is the people of Mizhou, but the two are more than five hundred years apart, have a sharp heart, poetry and songs, books, wine and tea, and have the same hobbies.
The village under the White Crane Tower is called Dingjia Louzi, because of the name of the building, because of the surname Li Village.
The peak of Louxi Mountain has a cliff carving: "The First Mountain".
There is a stone cave in the smoke and rain stream behind the building, and there is a stone kang in front of the cave, and there is an inscription on the side of the kang: "Stay the moon". The Qing Dynasty Daoguang edition of the Zhucheng County Chronicle records that connoisseurs have studied two stone carvings and showed that they were also from Su Shi's hand.
Su Shi knew about Mizhou for two years, and there were three parties of ink treasures in this place, and it was well preserved.
A force made him fond of it, and it also left too much thinking for future generations.
That winter more than nine hundred years ago, Su Shi, as a General Judge of Hangzhou (an ancient official position, mostly referring to the governor of the state capital), was appointed from Hangzhou to serve in Mizhou, and was promoted and reused.
Although the Hangzhou Tongjue is a central dispatcher, it is a subordinate position, that is, the second in command, and this time he came to Mizhou in the eastern martial land to renzhizhou, and he can show his skills.
The younger brothers, who were six hundred miles away in Qizhou in the west, had not met for many years and cared for each other. As an official in Michigan, he is also close to his brothers and sisters.
Positions are different, responsibilities are different, and moods are very different. Moreover, at the age of thirty-nine, he was full of spirit and pride.
Michigan's cultural accumulation is deep, although he has just arrived, but it makes him feel familiar, know many voices, and hit it off.
The natural environment and economic conditions of Mizhou in the north are different from those in Hangzhou in the south, which is also a challenge and a stimulus.
He immediately made a private visit to investigate and study, and found the ideas and methods for governing the new land as soon as possible.
Materials are scarce, and I have to enjoy the spiritual life. Confucianism and Taoism are integrated, poetry, calligraphy and painting are all common, "a smoke and rain for a lifetime".
Compared with Hangzhou, the Mal Mountain is blocked, the Mizhou is cold and frozen, the Weihe River is frozen, and it is desolate and desolate, but the people's customs are simple, the people know the books and are reasonable, the elders and children are orderly, and the rich Confucian cultural atmosphere is coming, which makes him feel a little warm.
The mountains in the north, similar to the men in the north, are tall and resolute, open-minded and tough, that is, there is no shortage of calcium.
(Jiuxian Mountain Eight Peaks Stack)
The sea of stone mortars, very much like the women of the north, is deep and clear, the golden sand embraces the waves, frank and bold, and can accommodate the world.
The stone by the sea, polished by the sea, is slightly rounded.
That mountain, that sea, that man, had a great influence on him.
Spring drought, locust plague, hunger, poverty, and military plague plagued Mizhou, so that Taishou was worried, and Su Gong, who was ordered to be in danger, actively petitioned for the people, truthfully reflected the disaster situation to the imperial court, led the people to fight drought, prayed for rain, cut down food and clothing to help the poor and the poor, and adopted and rescued orphans.
Six times up the mountain to pray for rain, that persistent kindness, the feeling of saving the people from water and fire, must not be a show.
Heaven favors this great good man, responds to every request, and sends down Ganlin. Eliminate the plague of locusts and harvest the grain. Pay attention to people's livelihood and win the hearts and minds of the people. The people supported it, and all went well.
Thus, there is a mood, drinking tea, drinking, playing the piano, chanting, reading, poetry, writing lyrics, there is transcendental platform, Mizhou hunting, moon viewing and walking under the moon.
During the inspection, visit the poor and the poor, admire the great mountains and rivers, love and praise.
(Next to the White Crane Tower)
During this period, 205 poems were left behind, of which 6 praised the Nine Immortals Mountain and the Horse Mountain.
"Try to sweep the north platform to see the horse's ear, not buried without double tips."
"Erhua Xing looked at Xiong Shaanxi right, and the Nine Immortals had now suppressed Jingdong. Qixiu does not reduce the goose swing also. ”
"Lonely clouds set in the horse's ears, shining on the golden blue and open smoke."
"Looking south at the Nine Immortals Mountain, and looking north at the sky."
"Looking forward to the Nine Immortals Mountain of Mal, the blue sky, the evening clouds."
"Looking south to Mal and Changshan, haunting the hidden room..." and so on.
Especially on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he sang "When is the Bright Moon" on the transcendent stage, his mouth opened, tears flowed twice, he remembered his brother, remembered his dead wife, and saw a round of bright moon on the Nine Immortals Mountain.
When he came to the White Crane Tower of the Nine Immortals Mountain again, he lay down on the stone kang, threw away the pottery bowl containing wine, and wrote the word "Liu Yue" with a stroke of his pen, so that Lang Lang Haoyue would be frozen in the "First Mountain" forever.
"Nine Immortals Have Now Suppressed Jingdong" and "Qixiu Does Not Reduce Wild Goose Swings" and other ancient songs have become the advertising slogans of the Great Beauty Rizhao Five Lotuses.
This gourmand must have predicted the living habits of people after the millennium, eating chrysanthemums, drinking vegetable soups, tasting spring tea, and drinking rice wine. The tender goji leaves, the fragrant artemisia annua, the fragrant chrysanthemum, the bitter chrysanthemum root with sweetness, and the protein-rich tulip pupa are all his daily dishes. Occasionally beat the tooth sacrifice, make a bowl of soup with minced soybeans, called "Dongpo soup", braised a bowl of black pork, known as "Dongpo meat". These delicacies are often found on the tables of rizhao people today.
(Dingjialouzi villagers picking tea)
Southerners like to drink tea, especially green tea. Northerners dare to eat insects, and no insects are not a feast. His arrival brought the fragrance of the southern country and the spirituality of the West Lake, and promoted the weaving technology of silkworm reeling.
Rizhao green tea's "Southern Tea North Introduction", he should be an early advocate, the prestigious "Changyi Silk, Nanshan Silk" refers to the five lotus tulip silk, historical records originated from the Song Dynasty.
(Nine Immortals Mountain front tea garden into a piece)
He dreams of improving the quality of life of the people, not worrying about eating, not worrying about wearing, it is indeed too difficult. At that time, tea tasting should not be the patent of the common people, and people with status and status were eligible to enjoy it.
Just think, at that time, eating was a problem, who dared to pour tea. Although the rice wine workshop comes from the folk, and the silk satin is also from the hands of craftsmen, it is all for the superstructure.
Why study so hard? Isn't it to change your destiny, eat spicy, and dress up brightly?
Two years later, he was sent to Hezhongfu and left the White Crane Tower. Looking back on the days of dancing, I have a lot of reluctance in my heart. He fell deeply in love with the people here and the landscape, and he still had many unfinished wishes.
The liquor bureau of the White Crane Tower, the laughter of the Liubei Pavilion, the hanging of the lonely city, the bridge with the empty stone beams, the seafood in Rizhao Town, the adopted group of orphans, the mountain road of the Cha River, the autumn leaves of the Old Maple Bridge, the mistletoe and silkworms full of mountains... It's all his concern.
In the days to come, no matter where he was in the adversity and good times, his soul and spiritual sustenance was still in the Immortal Mountain, that is, the incarnated white crane, and the white crane that lingered on the circling White Crane Tower.
The person who loves the crane is there.
(Su Shi feeding horse stone trough)
Five hundred years later, another wizard came.
His name was Ding Yaodou, and when he found the three big characters of "White Crane Tower" under the White Crane Tower, eighteen bowls of rice wine went down to his stomach, and he was very excited, and on the stone wall on the south side, he wrote down the three words "White Crane Tower".
There is a native poet named Wang Chengzhen (lu) in Jiuxian Mountain, who is a good friend of Ding Weining's fifth son, Yao Kang, who especially worships Su Gong.
After ascending the building after the rain, he was full of emotions and wrote "Climbing the White Crane Tower After the Rain": "Lan Jie Qianfeng JiJi, Autumn ThinNing Ten Thousand Wooden Voids." After the rain on Long fishy mountain, the mirage was in the clouds. Leaning on the sword rock high, ben thunder passing through. The Crane Tower came out of its own way, and the wind whistled in the world. ”
Therefore, Ding Weining's eldest son Yao Dou built a villa in the east of DingJialouzi Village next to the White Crane Tower, so that Guitian's father, Ding Weining, lived in seclusion here, read and taught his children, and planted trees and gardens.
The world's first strange book "Golden Plum Bottle" also has an opening, copying and banning, and there is also the talented Ding Yaokang's "Continuing Golden Plum" and the ups and downs of his fate and the rise of Tobu culture...
(Ding Gong Stone Ancestral Hall, Dingjia Louzi Village)
Some people say that it is the white crane that causes the trouble, which is the fault of the white crane.
It is all the fate of the white crane knot, the white crane is amorous, it is always the embodiment of the good, standing with the pine, expressing a complete shou character.
The poet is not wrong, the people say that he wears official clothes without official frames, and is a man who is both interesting and fundamental.
He has a long moon in his heart, is clear and transparent, loves the people like a relative, and regards the people as ape cranes, is that not the "people first" advocated today!
Su Gong said that he would have to come back, but he would never return, leaving the empty building alone.
Life is short, sixty-six years of life, he set off from Meishan, Sichuan, and has been to many places. "Three states to achieve Su Dongpo", Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou, inappropriate, should be "four states to achieve Su Dongpo", plus a mizhou.
With the White Crane Tower, with the White Crane Habitat, there is a harbor of the soul, and there is the splash of ink by the literati rioters. Su wine is very evil, making it difficult for people to wake up drunk, but they can't find a useful antidote.
(Su Shi drunk)
In the days that followed, those admirers of Su Fan and Crane often followed and came to express their loyalty, one chant and three sighs, one drunken Party Hugh, leaving behind thousands of years of chanting and chanting:
Ding Weining: "Alone for a thousand miles, I am watching the crane return from afar." ”
Tang Wenhuan: "The white crane returns to Huabiao, and Qingshan is the master." ”
Wang Huazhen: "Immortals ride on the crane in the five clouds, and Huabiao returns to this palace." ”
Zhang Xianzhi: "When you come, it is like smoke in the moon, and the white crane Xuanzhi often makes friends." ”
Qian Yunzhi: "I want to blow the whistle and take the crane to the white clouds of Huangshi." ”
Ding Yaokang: "The prince blew the whistle over Haidong, and a crane came to obey." ”
King XII: "The white crane has not returned, and it has turned into pine snow." ”
Fang Wenzhai: He Fanghui's eyes recognize Baozhen, and the spring wind upstairs is white crane singing. ......
(Left author right Fang Wenzhai)
It's not just me who is amorous, but also a bunch of cranes from the south and from the north.
Wenyou Wang Wenzheng, who grew up under the Ma'er Mountain, is an expert in the study of Su culture, Su Gong has visited all the lands he has ruled, eight years ago, he carried his own manuscript of "Untimely" book, rode a bicycle from The Su Causeway in Hangzhou, lasted a week, rushed to Zhucheng Chaorantai on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the next day, rushed to the Five Lotus White Crane Tower, he wanted to tell Su Gong that there were still many devout people following him and studying him.
(Statue of Ding Weining at Ding Gongshi Ancestral Hall)
The five lotus and nine immortal mountains are eternally veined, Lu Dongnan's spirituality is inexhaustible, and sentient beings come one after another, all because of this man's building and this crane.
That spring, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, Wenyou and I came to the ruins of the White Crane Tower together to hang Su Gong and chant the words of the bright moon. Remembering the sages, I feel a lot of emotions.
When I met an elder shepherd who talked about Su Gonghe and Lou, the old man took a sip of old dry smoke and said: Lou must have it, and he must have come. Once a good afterburner came here to express doubt, and as a result, the jaw dropped and it was not pressed until three days later.
This is Su Gong's spiritual experience, this is the mana of the mountain god. I believe the old man's words are true. In this treasure land of feng shui, there are many literati and scholars who have arrived one after another, and there are qiu qi, Zang Weiyi, Li Chengzhong, Wang Kaiji, Ding Yehe, Liu Yiming, Zhang Siyi, etc. The cranes fall from the crane, and the cranes dance and continue to return.
Hubei brother laughed at me, the Hometown White Crane Tower is not as famous as the Yellow Crane Tower, I laughed, "There is the Yellow Crane Tower in the south, and there is the White Crane Tower in the north", I have known it since I was a child. The Yellow Crane Tower was written by Li Bai and Cui Hao, and this White Crane Tower was written by Su Dongpo himself and proved by Le Shi.
Time has passed through the millennium, and it does not make much sense to discuss the spokesperson. I have to use my hometown dialect to say, who to love.
The "White Crane Tower" is here, Su Shi is there. The "White Crane Tower" is as solid as a rock, and Su Dongpo is still alive although he is dead.
The gold cup and silver cup are not as good as the reputation of the common people. Because his soul melted into the Immortal Mountain, every stone like a crane was his shadow, and his feelings of single-mindedness for the people were passed down from generation to generation.
For thousands of years, people have been thinking about this good leader and great writer, and we are still inheriting his spirit.
If the mountain is old, the stones full of mountains grow stone flowers, and the stone flowers are full of memories and stories.
Su Gong and the White Crane are together, the Stone Ancestral Hall echoes with the Jade Building, and Su Gong and the "First Mountain" will always exist.
