Today, 1669 years ago, the first line of Wang Xi's book was born!

Shangmi (sì) section

The traditional Shangwei Festival is held on the first day of the third month of the lunar calendar, commonly known as the third day of March, and is said to be the anniversary of the birth of the Yellow Emperor. It is also the day of the Qi, that is, the Spring Bath Day, also known as the Daughter's Day. It is a festival for people to drink and feast by the water and travel in the countryside in the spring.

The Analects: "Those who are in the twilight of spring, the spring clothes are complete, the crowns are five or six, the boys are six or seven, the bath is Yi, the wind is like dancing, and the chant is returning." "It was written about the situation at the time.

Like the Flower Festival, the Shangwei Festival is gradually being forgotten.

After the Song Dynasty, the science of science prevailed, the etiquette gradually became stricter, and the customs of the Shangwei Festival gradually declined in Chinese culture.

In addition, the March Three Shangwei Festival corresponds to the September Nine Chongyang Festival, as Han Liuxin's "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" said: "March shangwei, September Chongyang, make women's games, thus Zen Zen ascended to the top." "One in the late spring, one in the late autumn, and the green and the resignation also enter the climax.

1668-year-old Orchid Pavilion Preface

In 353 AD, it was the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

On that day, Wang Xizhi organized a graceful gathering at the Lanting Pavilion in Huijishanyin. The quiet landscape and beautiful scenery attracted the praise of Celebrities such as Situ Xie'an, Cifu Family Sun Qi, Xie Wan, who was proud and proud, and Zhi Daolin, a senior monk.

The third of March in Gangnam is usually during the rainy season. However, the weather on this day is exceptionally clear, the mountains and mountains in the distance, the lush forests and bamboo cultivation in front of you, the turbulence of the clear stream, the gentle wind and the smooth, the sound of the babbling water is refreshing, and the scenery between the mountains is even more idyllic and pleasant!

In response to the custom of the first day, everyone sprinkles the body with lavender dipped in water, or bathes to wash the dirt, and prays for the elimination of disease and ominousness during the good season of spring.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, some people came up with the game of streaming water.

Everyone sat on either side of the meandering stream, and then the book boy put the feather pouring wine into the clear stream and let it go down the river, and if the wine stopped in front of whom, who had to give poetry, and if he could not recite the poem, he was fined three cups of wine.

On the way, Qian stopped in front of Wang Xianzhi, who was less than ten years old and did not do a word for half a day, and was also punished with alcohol. Later Generations of Qing Dynasty poets also made fun of Wang Xianzhi by making fun of oil poems. "But he laughed at the great order of the Wuyi King, and there was no poetry at the Lanting Meeting."

The gathering and good times of the forty-two people passed quietly in the flow of water and drinking and writing poetry unconsciously.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Wang Xizhi was elected to write the preface to the poetry collection of the people, riding on the wine, using a rat whisker pen on the silkworm paper, impromptu waving, with both hands in his heart, and wrote down twenty-eight lines, three hundred and twenty-four words that were charming and vigorous, like divine help.

I was born at the moment of the literati's revelry.

This is me, the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Sequence" that was praised by posterity as "the first line of the book under the heavens".

In the ninth year of Yonghe, at the beginning of the late spring, he would be in the Orchid Pavilion of Huiji Shanyin and repair the Zen Shiya. The group of talents is complete, and the little is salty. Here there are lofty mountains and mountains, lush forests and bamboo; and there are clear streams of turbulence, reflecting the left and right, leading to the flow of curved water, sitting second. Although there is no grandeur of the silk bamboo orchestra, a glance and a chant are enough to tell the story.

It is also a day, the sky is clear, the wind is gentle, looking up at the size of the universe, looking down on the grandeur of the category, so the wandering eyes are full of nostalgia, enough to be extremely audiovisual entertainment, and the letter Coke is also.

The lady's phase is with, bowing down to the first life, or taking the arms of all, enlightened within a room, or because of the entrustment, outside the wandering skeleton. Although it is interesting to give up a thousand differences, quiet and restless, when it is happy to meet, it is temporarily self-sufficient, and it does not know that old age is coming. And what they are tired of, emotions move with things, and emotions are related. Between the joy of what is admired and the pitching, it is already a vestige, and it is still impossible not to rejoice. The condition is shortened and the end is exhausted. The ancients said: "Death and life are also great." "Wouldn't it hurt! (I don't know that old age is coming: I didn't know that old age is coming)

Every time you look at the reasons for the people's interest in the past, if they are united, they are not without mourning, and they cannot be described in their hearts. Gu Zhiyi is a false birth after death, and Qi Peng is a vain act. The future looks at the present, and the present looks at the past. Woe to you! Therefore, when the people of the time are listed, they record what they say, although the world is different, so they are happy, and their unity is also one. Later viewers will also feel Sven.

In the ninth year of Yonghe, in the year of the Ugly, in early March, we would gather at the Orchid Pavilion in San'in Castle, Huiji County, to do the zenith. Many talents have gathered here, and the old and young have gathered here. Lanting this place has high peaks, lush woods, and tall bamboo.

There is also a clear and turbulent stream, reflecting around the pavilion, we lead the stream as a flowing qushui, lined up next to the qushui, although there is no grandeur of playing music, but drinking some wine and writing some poetry is enough to freely narrate the deep and hidden feelings.

On this day, the weather is clear, the wind is warm, looking up at the vastness of the universe, looking down at many things on the earth, used to stretch your eyes, broaden your mind, enough to maximize the audiovisual entertainment, it is really happy. People interact with each other and quickly pass through life.

Some people take something out of their erotic thoughts and talk face-to-face indoors (with friends); some people live indulgently outside the body and without any constraints by placing their feelings on the things that their spiritual feelings are pinning on. Although they have their own hobbies, quietness and restlessness, when they are happy about the things they are in contact with, they feel self-satisfied, happy and satisfied, and they do not know that aging is coming.

When you are tired of what you get or like, and your feelings change with the changes in things, emotions arise. What you like in the past, in the blink of an eye, has become an old thing, and it cannot but because it arouses the feelings in the heart, and the length of life, depending on the creation, is finally due to extinction.

The ancients said, "After all, death and life are a big thing." "How can it not be sad? Whenever you see the reasons for the feelings of your predecessors, the reasons are as harmonious as a spell contract, and it is inevitable to sigh and mourn when reading the articles of your predecessors, and you cannot understand them in your heart.

It was known that the equivalence of life and death was untrue, and that the equivalence of longevity and short life was false. Future generations look at the present people as the present people look at the predecessors, sadly. So one by one, i record the people who were there, and record the poems they wrote. Even though times have changed and things have changed, the reasons that trigger people's feelings are the same. Future generations of readers will also have some feelings about the poetry of this gathering.

After drinking, where is the magic?

The "Three Absolutes" of the Orchid Pavilion Preface

It is said that the preface was drafted by one of Wang Xi's ones that year. The next day, when Xi Zhi was preparing to copy it into a draft, he repeatedly copied and felt that the qi rhyme layout and stroke structure were not as good as the draft. He was surprised and distressed: first, he was surprised by his calligraphy, and second, the draft was too much to change, and it was not easy to take it to meet people!

After hesitation, he finally selected an official manuscript to take as a preface, and kept the draft and passed it on to his son Wang Xianzhi.

The word "heavy" is not "heavy"

Speaking of a must in the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", it is impossible not to mention the heavy words in it. A total of 21 "zigzag" characters appear in its text and paragraphs, and the characters are different, each with its own beautiful attitude.

Just three strokes, endless variations. The variation of the zigzag, summed up, is mainly threefold:

1, the change of the pen used in the line book, the letter, and the line letter;

2, the use of pen changes in the book, such as folding pen, Dun pen, huifeng, etc.;

3, the main pen changes, such as the second three main pen conversion changes.

The word "to" is:

The word "its":

The word "for":

The word "thing":

"Repair" word:

The word "also":

"Wen" word:

"Will" word:

"Mountain" word:

The word "yes":

"Bamboo" word:

The word "and":

Misplacing is also art

Because the Orchid Pavilion sequence is a drunken pen, there are many typos and smear marks in it, and the smear is also played as art, which is another of Wang Xizhi's. Let's take a look at the smear marks in the roll:

1, "the age is ugly". Why is the word "癸" written very finely. According to the analysis, Wang Youjun must have only remembered that the "earth branch" was the year of the ugly bull, and forgot the "tiangan" order, and the word "癸" must have been filled in later. There is not enough place left, so the word "癸" is written very flat.

2. "The cultivation of the straw is also the best of the best." "稧" should be changed to "Hemu" next to "Shi supplement", and "禊" should be used as the correct way to write.

3. "There are lofty mountains and mountains". "Chongshan" was missed and made up, there was no place, and had to be written next to it. Wang Xizhi drank too much, wrote the word "Ling", and mistakenly lost the "mountain" above.

4. "Wind and smooth". apparently. The word "Hui" is two strokes less, and the "mouth" of the "Divine Dragon Ben" and the "mouth" of the word are also one more stroke, like "Yue". The word "he" at the beginning of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" "Yonghe Nine Years" is the correct way to write it. Nowadays, people are posting, copying typos, passing on fallacies, and it is not necessary.

5. "Room of Enlightenment". Wu Yan, "Ancient Literature GuanZhi" corrected to "meet" words, meaning to meet and talk.

6. "Entrusted by The Ship". "囙" is a variant of "cause", and the word "wai" is written first, and then covered with the word "囙" (the facsimile of the Shenlong Ben Feng Chengsu is "ㄈ" and the right).

7. "Self-sufficiency". Later generations recorded it as "fast" but "happy" self-sufficient, in fact, "yàng) is self-sufficient" translated as "conceited" and "confident" is explained.

8. "The monk does not know that old age is coming." The word "monk" is only found on the stone stele of "Dingwu Lanting". The Guwen GuanZhi was corrected to "Zeng".

9. "Between the joys of the places." The word "today" is covered under "today". 俛 is a variant of the bow, which is now abandoned.

10. "Isn't it painful?" The word "pain" is covered a bit like the word "it."

11. "Every package". A book says, "The word 'each' draws thick ink and the rest of the light ink, which obviously records the process of rewriting it from the word 'one'." In fact, the word "every" on the Northern Wei Zhang Dragon Monument is horizontal and also coarse. Moreover, when Feng Chengsu copied it, he could dip it in ink at any time.

12. "I have not tasted to mourn." "甞" is a variant of "taste", which is no longer used.

13. "The future looks at the present and the past from the present." "By", posterity has been corrected to "Judas", when "as" is spoken.

14. "■■ Sad husband". The words erased by the heavy ink are said to be "good", but it is more likely to be "enough", and it may also be "yes" and "can also". The word "fu" can be seen to cover the word "also".

15. "Feeling Sven". The word "Wen" in the Shenlong Ben is particularly vague. Tang Dynasty. Chu Suiliang's linben can be seen at a glance that it is rewritten by the word "zuo".

After drinking, the truth is deeply meaningful

And the third absolute in the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is to use deep affection! The story further develops, Tang Taizong deceived the Orchid Pavilion Preface because of love, and buried with himself in Zhaoling. Although we can't see the real handwriting today, from the draft version of the later facsimiles, we can still see the uncontrollable joy and the unconcealed sorrow that Wang Xizhi threw up after drinking.

At the beginning of the Orchid Pavilion Preface, all we read is good pleasure. The sky is clear, the wind is harmonious, the universe is so big, everything is so grand, and everything in front of you is so beautiful.

This kind of comfortable mood is wang Xizhi, who grew up in the era of mourning, which is rarely able to have, so he feels cherished.

In the second half of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", Xi Zhi could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart. He said: People interact with each other and soon spend their lives. Whenever I see the reasons why the ancients lamented about death and life, which are in line with what I feel like Fu Qi, there is no one who laments sadness without facing their articles, and cannot understand it in the heart, I already know that the statement that equates death and life is untrue, and the argument that long life and short life are equated is false. It is really sad that future generations will look at the present as we look at the past today!

After 1669, we can still smell the strong and deep aroma of wine that wafted out of that distant era, containing three points of joy and one point of sorrow, a faint and gentle aroma, and saw the joy and solemnity attached to the flowing water of the clouds.

After 1669, Wang Xizhi's regret for the impermanence of life still drifted in this chapter of sorrow and joy.
