Military writer Li Cunbao's essay: The Swan Song of Passing (8-1, 2)

One 

  It was a time of rational dizziness. The search in the cultural wilderness is completely frozen, and cultivation in the spiritual land is considered illegal. People's originally colorful hearts can only be uniformly cleansed and purified in the red ocean composed of "quotation books".

  At that time, I was not yet 20 years old, and I was engaged in reporting at the headquarters of a field army in Qingdao. Seeing that a large number of books in the library were about to burn down, I had the idea of "stealing books". At that time, there was no remuneration for writing, but there were many gifts like chapters. I "bought" the librarian with hundreds of medallions and obtained more than 400 copies of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign masterpieces. Although I was a soldier, I was allocated a single dormitory for writing reports, which gave me the condition of "Golden House Collection". Although there were eight perfect heroes singing in my ears, and despite the red light illuminating the journey, I kept the door closed and read the "black books" with curiosity every night when it was quiet. At the beginning, although I reminded myself not to be "poisoned", in the ink-scented pages, I found so many calmly galloping souls, so many spirits with seven emotions and six desires, whether they roared or whispered or mourned or lingered, joy or sorrow, all of them "captive" me with irresistible vividness and charm. The beautiful spiritual universe is expanding infinitely in a limited number of pages...

  I remember that when I read the twenty-third time in "Dream of Red Mansions", there was such a detail: Baoyu recommended the "Tale of the West Wing" that he was secretly reading to Lin Daiyu and said: "... It's such a good article, you have to read it, you don't even want to eat it!" Daiyu: "... I took the book and looked at it, and the more I looked at it, the more I loved it, and when I didn't eat, I had read it several times. But the words and sentences are alarming, and the afterscent is full of fragrance. When I saw it, I was only out of my mind, and I silently recited in my heart..."When I was a child, I only saw some of the New Year paintings of the "Records of the West Wing", and when I was in junior high school, I also turned over the "Huizhen Ji" in the "Records of Taiping Guangji", which is less than 3,000 words, but I have never read the "Records of the West Wing" that can make Lin Daiyu's teeth cheek fragrant. I hurriedly searched through the pile of "black books" and found many editions of Wang Shifu's "Tales of the West Wing" published by the China Book Company and the Classical Literature Publishing House.

  Throughout the ages, reading books describing love, the amount of car fighting, the number of sand in the Ganges. However, after historical screening, there are fewer than one that can be placed on the shelf. When the supervision post of spiritual products was removed, Wang Shifu's "Notes on the West Wing" was once again brilliant in the world, and the "Tunes of the Palaces" by Dong Xieyuan, a golden man who could be read, was also published, and even the "South and West Wings" compiled by Li Rihua, who was despised by Shilin in the past and compiled by Mingren Li Rihua, was also peddled by car. With comparison, there is identification, among the many "West Wings", the unique "Wang Xi Box" is a swan song of the world, "If the jade ring comes out of the bath Huaqing, the green pearl picks the lotus Luopu (Zhu Quan)", is the real beauty among the flowers.

  Today's travels are often seduced by the poetry that the literati used to light up with the magic wand of beauty in ancient times. Perhaps reading "Wang Xixiang" when I was young had a shock in my heart, and the Pusu Temple, the birthplace of the "swan song", has long become a Bodhi tree in my spiritual hometown.

  What makes Wang Shifu's weak pen so magical and ethereal?

  What makes the hearts of a couple in a Buddhist temple as clear as amber?

  What makes the emotions of the two lovers in the West Wing as mellow as mellow mash?

  In the first mid-spring of the new millennium, the carriage of my soul carried a lot of confusion and a lot of melancholy to the Yongji City Pushu Temple to relive the endless thoughtful and chewable truthful story.

  Yongji, located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, is located at the southwest end of the mountain, and was called Pusaka when Emperor Shun established his capital, and later changed to Puzhou.

  In the world, the birth of a classic work is inseparable from the unique history, geography, especially cultural candlelight. As soon as I set foot on the ancient land of Yongji, I strongly felt that it was natural for a song to be born here.

  The Yellow River, which turns from the Inner Mongolian grassland to the south, splits the Loess Plateau and plunges directly into the hinterland of China, and the mighty river divides this hinterland into Hexi and Hedong, becoming the natural boundary between the Qin land and the Jin region. With its golden milk and swirling pulp, the Yellow River irrigates the rich land of Yongji.

  It is located in Yongji, east of the river, and south of Zhongtiao Mountain. Nakajo Mountain in March is a world woven by turquoise, grass, verdant, emerald, daisy, stone, dark and patina. Wildflowers bloom quietly and enthusiastically: silver-white longbai turi, golden forsythia blooming, fiery red spring plum sowing fragrance, bright purple azalea buds... The flower is the ring of spring in Nakajo Mountain and the golden ring of spring. There are many clear springs and streams in the Nakajo Mountain, and the sparkling jasper-like spring water is the mirror of the mountain's dressing; The gentle ripples in that flowing stream are the strings in Qifeng's arms.

  Famous mountain Tibetan ancient temple, scenic spot many Taoist temples. The ancient temples dotted with famous temples in the Nakajo Mountain clearly tell me that the Nakajo Mountain in the past and the masterpiece of the Creator in the mountain, the Five Old Peaks, are even more majestic. During the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there was an inscription praised: "Tiaoshan Xiujia three Jin, the five old peaks are rugged and majestic, and the beauty is more Jia Tiaoshan." In the Jin Dynasty's "Notes on the Water Classic", he praised the Five Old Peaks: "Qi Feng Xia lifted the lone standard and showed it out, covering the table of the peaks." "From the relevant Fang Zhi texts, I also learned that there are many rare birds and beasts in the Nakajo Mountains. The cloud-like birds have fluttered their wings and chirped around the branches, and they have flown and sprinted to the top, they are the spirits of the mountains; Those countless walking beasts have rolled and played on the mountain rocks, venting their excess energy, and they have also rushed in the valley, roaring the tireless whirlwind of life, they are the souls of Qifeng...

  To the west of Yongji City, there are the ruins of Pujindu. Ten years ago, archaeologists unearthed four hill-like Tang Dynasty iron bulls from the deep soil of the Yellow River. At this time, the iron bull seemed to be telling me with those honest eyes: how noisy and blazing the Pujin ferry port was in the Tang Dynasty.

  As early as spring and autumn, this Pujin ferry port erected the first pontoon bridge on the Yellow River connected by boats and bamboo cables. In the height of the Tang Dynasty, the bamboo rope of the pontoon bridge was easy to be an iron cable, and on both sides of Pujin, four iron bulls were cast on the spot, and the oxen were used as anchors with cables. The eight iron oxens weigh 300 tons, and the strength of the oxen is enough to make "the river lose its anger, and the Yanghou (the god of waves in ancient legends) accumulate its strength". In the "Yongji County Zhi Kaiyuan Iron Bull Ming", the role of the iron bull was praised as follows: "The bridge is like a long rainbow, the pipe is like a swimming dragon, and the maintenance of the cable is like a dragon." "It is this pontoon bridge that makes an ancient road connect Chang'an in the west, Qilu in the east, and Youyan in the north...

  Right next to this Pujindu ruins, there is also a famous building known even to today's six-year-old children, the Stork Tower. The stork, known as the "nobleman" among birds, who resembled fairies, once performed a beautiful dance on the vast water of the Yellow River...

  The spiritual energy of the Ji Zhongtiao, the anointing of the Nada River, the wind from the ferry, the rhyme of the Hua Lou, the eternal ji of the time, of course, it is necessary to produce poetry and songs, beautiful women and talents, and love.

  Emperor Wenzong of the Vast World climbed the Zhongtiao Mountain, and couldn't help but groan: "The mountains are green, the rivers are yellow, the waves are gone, and the pines and cypresses are in the mountains..."

  A generation of poets Wang Zhixian ascended to the Stork Tower, and the poem that was promoted to the top of the five utterances still makes people today carry out the ascent of the soul with the longing of "wanting to be poor and thousands of miles".

  Chinese idioms have amazing generalizing power. For the four beauties of ancient times, Xi Shi, Zhao Feiyan, Sable Cicada, and Yang Yuhuan, the Mexican people only used the eight words of "sinking fish falling geese" and "closing the moon and shame flowers" to express their beautiful attitude. The two top great poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai and Bai Juyi, whose poems "Yun wants to wear clothes and flowers and want to look" and "look back and smile a hundred beautiful lives" are extremely beautiful Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan was born in Dutou Village in present-day Yongji City.

  Beauty is a person and thing full of life. However, no matter how beautiful the landscape is, poetry is not poetry, poetry is the product of the poet's amorousness; No matter how good the scenery is, it is not a painting, painting is the emotion of the painting. Therefore, there is only the saying that "the rivers and mountains are picturesque", and there is absolutely no reason that "the pictures are like rivers and mountains". Similarly, beautiful and beautiful love also needs to be appreciated, excavated, and sublimated by aestheticians. All this is inseparable from the cultural soil of cultivating beauty and discovering the cultural vision of beauty.

  The area around Hedong has always been a place of cultural convergence. In Wenxi, a neighboring county of Yongji, there is a mountain village known as Pei Bai, and Pei Bai only has more than 200 households, and there have been 64 prime ministers in history, becoming the "prime minister's village" of the famous three Jins. Although there is no village in Yongji City that has produced so many prime ministers, in ancient times, Yongji also had heroic sages and saints from generation to generation, and it was no less beautiful than Wenxi. To this day, the local people still proudly sing this ballad:

  One lane and three pavilions old, opposite the door nine shangshu.

  Standing in the ancient building and looking south, there are twenty-four Hanlin courtyards.

  Large and small Zhizhou County, three buckets and six liters of rapeseed officer.

  The old imperial examination system was the basic way for literati to become a scholar. Among the many big officials and small officials like the "three buckets and six liters of rapeseed", even if most of the people who climbed to official positions by donating officials, buying officials, hereditary and nepotism are sifted, if the rest are lined up in the corridor of history, they can be called shoulder rubbs and open their heads. What makes me most amazed is that from just one "Anthology of Tang Poems", I can list the names of eight Yongji people, including Zhang Xun, Wang Wei, Lu Lun, Lü Wen, Liu Zongyuan, Nie Yizhong, Liu Zhongyong, and Sikong Tu.

  How did a Brahma palace that advocated "six eradication purities" become a Wuling source with stirring emotions? As long as you approach the Universal Salvation Temple, this mystery is not difficult to solve.

  The Pushu Temple stands abruptly on a high plateau in Pingchuan, with a width of 70,000 square meters, facing the south, north and west of the valley, perhaps because of the many talents of Yongji in the past, this hill is called "Emei", and the ridge also has poetry. A few miles to the west of the plateau, is Pujindu, and the wind and waves of the Yellow River tie a golden flowing ribbon to the Pushu Temple. At the foot of the steep south of the plateau, there is the ancient post road extending to the east of the Pujin ferry port in the west, which provides a smooth way for generations of Qin, Jin and Qiliang generations of merry talents to come to the Panhuan of the Pushu Temple by stepping on the rhyme of the great river. Standing on the plateau, the Zhongtiao Mountain ten miles away can be seen leisurely, facing the five old peaks that are like tigers and leopards like cranes and storks, and if you swim like a flying roar, the lyricist and composer, Yan Neng has no poetry.

  The temple was built in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties. After Tang Wu Zetian's edict was expanded, Chang Yu came to the temple to burn incense, and it was called "Wu Niang Niang Merit Academy". In the winter of Ming Jiajing, the Tang Temple collapsed during the great earthquake. After ten years, a Mingpu salvation temple was erected again. During the Anti-Japanese War, a fire broke out in the temple, and in addition to the stupa alone, the Ming Temple was reduced to ruins. Until the 80s of the twentieth century, in order to enable tourists to come to Emei Yuan to explore Suoyin, no longer lamenting that "the empty pagoda reflects the slanting sun", the tourism department of Shanxi allocated a huge amount of money to rebuild the Pushu Temple according to the old system of the Tang Dynasty, and also built a "couple's garden" with a small courtyard in the courtyard at the top of the back garden built by the original Tang Temple, so that modern couples who came to play once again turned the West Wing song and went to the West Wing to the West Wing.

  The Pushu Temple I am facing is a "copy" of today's people.

  "Replicas" often find it difficult to contain the original flavor of history and culture.

  Fortunately, the stone carvings of the Buddha of the Sui and Tang Dynasties excavated from the Tang Dynasty are still there, fortunately, there are many remains of the glass, wadang, fleur-de-lis and beast heads on the eaves of the Buddha hall and the eaves of the Jing Pavilion during the Yang and Li dynasties, but fortunately, a large number of square bricks with nipple patterns and lotus patterns used to pave the floor of the Tang Temple have been unearthed, and they are embedded in the Yong Road of the current temple, and even better in the wonderful literary chapter of the Yongyin Pusu Temple of the previous generations of literati is beautiful, I can still capture its leisurely ancient rhyme from this replica.

  The mountain gate of the Pushang Temple is built under the southern ravine, and is on the same central axis as the bell tower, Buddhist hall and stupa. Standing down and looking up, it is like a heavenly palace. I guess that the Tang Temple was built in this way to make people admire the solemnity of the Buddha. However, because this temple has the perfect combination of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng's hopeful but difficult spirit and flesh, it has a sense of sublimity and mystery.

  If the Pushu Temple in the Tang Dynasty is compared to a huge work, its structural layout can be called a large outline, which is enough to show the arrogance of the ancient Puzhou culture. Specific to each construction of the temple, every detail, there are also loops and ups and downs, and the curved pen shows the thinking and wit of the ancient Puzhou cultural people.

  During the High Tang Dynasty, from buildings to clothing, it was an era of bursting colors. The Tang Dynasty seems to pick up all the most magnificent and dazzling colors in the world to decorate its grace and luxury. The Pushu Temple expanded by Wu Zetian's edict, whether it is the mountain gate of the golden nail Zhuhu, or the bell tower with glazed heavy eaves, whether it is the magnificent prayer pavilion and Zen room, or the matching box and pavilion of gold-carved jade, all of them compete in all colors and colors. The birds and beasts in the Nakajo Mountain are painted and painted into the sculptures on the corners of the eaves of the temple; The strange flowers under the Five Elder Peaks were completely transformed into the patterns in the cloister. In this Tang Temple, there were a hundred great doctor pines standing Qin Jin's wind bones, and there were thousands of gentlemen and bamboos swaying Wu Yue's charm...

  This mountain, this river, this pontoon bridge, this temple, this stupa, and the rich cultural significance of ancient Puzhou, all provide inexhaustible purlins for Wang Shifu of the Yuan people to salvage the good stories that happened in the Tang Dynasty from the well of history and have been spread through several strokes, to rebuild a classic love Qiong Pavilion.
