Jia Dao was a half-secular and half-monk poet, and after he was frustrated in his literary field, he went to become a monk, and he had no name for himself. Those who have no roots, that is, those who have no roots, no roots, no roots, no roots, and no roots, and no roots, are empty and silent. It seems that he is going to study The Buddha for the rest of his life. But later he met Han Yu and performed the disciple's gift. Under the persuasion of Han Yu, he was also a common person and won the jinshi.
It is inevitable for monks to think about the world, and it is difficult to abandon the Zen mind when entering the world. "Groaning like crying, sitting like Zen." The vulgar taste is very strong, the monk's taste is not light, and it is in this duality that the poet spends his life.
Jia Dao was born out of the house with a belly complaint, so although he was in the Buddhist Gate, he could not forget the troubles of the world. When he was a monk in Luoyang, the government stipulated that he was not allowed to leave the temple in the afternoon. If you change your family, you are not allowed to come out.
The Buddha's kingdom is boundless, where can it not cultivate the mind? Yet he felt that his freedom was bound and could not bear it. So he sighed, "It's better than cattle and sheep, Jude will return at dusk." He is very persistent, and once he moves forward, it is not easy to turn back. Whether you are a monk or a layman, it is challenging.
He was a bard, sat and ate, never forgot to compose poetry, often walked in the fire, caused trouble, and was said to have had two accidents. Once I was riding a donkey across the street, not paying attention to pedestrians. At that time, the autumn wind was cold and the yellow leaves were withering, so he chanted the sentence "The fallen leaves are full of Chang'an". Thinking about the Shanglian again, he suddenly opposed it with "autumn wind blowing and water", and was overjoyed, and as a result, he crashed into the carriage and horse of the governor of the state capital and was detained for one night.
One was to visit Li Ning's secluded residence and get the sentence "Birds stay in the trees by the pond, and monks knock on the door under the moon" on the back of a donkey. Among them, the word "knock" also wanted to be the word "push", but for a moment it was undecided, and his mind was confused, and as a result, he crashed into Han Yu's carriage and horse. Although the legend is not entirely credible, his obsession is well-founded.
He always wanted to sell himself, "Ten years of grinding a sword, the frost blade has not been tried." Who has anything wrong with the king today? " Angry bullfighting, a pair of chivalrous and righteous guts. In fact, he is as thin as a crane, short of breath, and weak in strength, but he just borrows a sword to describe himself and wants to be appreciated by others.
In the Tang Dynasty, if they wanted to show their prominence in the field, they often had to dredge the joints and look for strong backers. And he came from a humble background, had no relatives in the DPRK, and lacked foreign aid, so he hated the injustice of this society.
He believed that he had no way out, because he was suppressed by the secretary of state. He passed by the Peidu Courtyard and groaned, "Break a thousand homes and make a pool, and do not plant peaches and plums to plant roses." The flowers of Lei Wei fell in the autumn wind, and the thorns were full of the court. Pei Du was instrumental in quelling the rebellion and was made the Duke of Jin. He gathered a lot, and Chang'an had Gaodi. When Jia Dao saw it, the fire came from within, pretending to be a poem and mocking.
He despised the powerful and did not take them seriously. And after that, he lived in the Fa Qian without any refinement. One day, Tang Xuanzong went out in a micro-costume, walked to the temple, heard people chanting poems, and then went upstairs according to the sound, saw the poetry scrolls on the case, and took them to browse. Jia Island was in the back, taking it with one hand.
He didn't know Xuanzong, so he narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Lang Jun eats delicious clothes, who understands this?" Afterwards, he was very nervous and waited for the guilt. The imperial court gave him a minor official in the yangtze river county, and then demoted him to Chang'an.
Jia Dao has a cousin named Wu Wu, who is also a poet. At that time, the two were monks together. Jia Dao could not bear the loneliness and killed a hui carbine, while Wu Wu was still clapping his hands together to the Buddha. Jia Dao had a covenant when he was still a layman, and he would still be a monk in the future, but he was wrapped up in the dust net. There is no writing poem to remind him not to forget the appointment.
Jia Dao said, how can I forget? "The famous mountain thinks longs, and sooner or later to the Song Hill"; "There will be smoke and mist, and the rooftop will be a close neighbor." He still longed for the tranquility of the Buddha's Gate.
Jia Dao devoted his life to poetry, "two sentences and three years, one chant and two tears", tempering many fine works. Han Yu gave Shiyun: "Mengjiao was buried in the Northern Mountains, and from then on the wind and clouds had to be idle." The Heavenly Fear article is broken, so he was born on Jia Island. ”
Jia Island is on a par with Mengjiao and has a far-reaching influence. But his life was poor, the officials were small, and Lu did not maintain a good life. On the day of death, the family had no money, only a sick donkey and a guqin, teaching people to sigh. Whether he felt that this life was worth it, laughed and left, or regretted it, it was better to recite the sutra, but it was not known.
