The origin of Qingyun Spectrum

Qingyunpu was originally a Taoist temple with a long history and beautiful scenery in Nanchang City, which is located on the shore of Meihu Lake in the southern suburbs of the city, at the foot of Daishan Mountain. Legend has it that more than 2,500 years ago, Prince Jin of Zhou Ling (Zi Qiao), created a Daofang here, "Refining Dan into Immortals". The Han Dynasty county lieutenant Mei Fu also lived in seclusion here after resigning from his official position. By the time of the Jin Dynasty, Xu Jingyang had opened a Daofang in the north, which was an important base for Taoist activities. In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty (831 AD), the Thorn Shi Zhou Xun class Tai Yi Guan, the Song Dynasty to the second year of the Song Dynasty (1055 AD), the emperor also gave it the Tianning Temple, and with the passage of time, this Taoist temple was repeatedly destroyed. In the eighteenth year of shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1661 AD), Zhu Deaf (the eight mountain people), a descendant of Zhu Quan, the tenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, was not full of Qing rule due to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and nai lived here, immersed himself in the creation of calligraphy and painting art, and called the scenery of the mountains and rivers here "Pure Ming Wonderland", so he re-cultivated on the basis of the original Taoist temple, taking the "Qingyun Garden". Since then, the Bada Shanren has become a generation of masters of the "Qingyun Garden" Taoist Temple.

The word "Qingyun" was originally based on the Taoist myth: "Lü Chunyang drove Qingyun to descend". Why was it later changed the garden in the three characters of "Qingyun Garden" to the spectral character of the spectral? This has to start from Dai Zhuangyuan's travels here.

Dai Junyuan, a large number of people in Jiangxi, has been persuaded to study since childhood, and his talents are outstanding, but at that time, the county order of Nan'an had no eyes and no pearls to bury him for several years. From the age of ten, he had been tested until the end of the thirty squares, and even a small show could not pass the exam, but unfortunately, a piece of white jade was buried in dust and sand, and it was difficult to get out.

That year was also worth the strike examination, and Dai Junyuan was still famous for Sun Shan. The friends of the same window were not convinced, and donated him to buy a show talent, so that he had to take the qualification of the township examination. In the eighty-six, he went from the village to the temple with a full belly of wizards. Pass the level and slash the general, even in the middle of the three yuan. The emperor summoned him, nodded his head, and returned home. The Qipin County Grand Master, who had not strangled the pillars of the country, knew that he was not guilty of his crime, and fled with a seal overnight.

In order to export his anger, Dai Junyuan warned those officials who closed their eyes and listened and neglected their duties to write a couplet with a stroke of a pen on the ancestral hall of his hometown!

Thirty years ago, the county examination was nameless and the nameless road examination was not opened by the eyes of the celebrities;

On the eightieth day, the township tried the first beijing test, the first hall and the first blue robe took off the purple robe and returned.

In the twentieth year of Jiaqing, Dai Junyuan sat in a palanquin to play in Qingyun Garden, recalling the poverty of his early years, and then Kefang was proud and went straight to Qingyun. So he shook his head and proposed to say four words and eight sentences to help the wine, and the conditions were based on the three words of "sage sorrow", one person said one word, and each word could be split and put together, and it was also necessary to do what was said.

The iron abductor Li Shu first said the first word: "The king of the ear mouth, the king of the ear mouth, and the wine in the pot, I will taste it first; how to put the wine in the dish, cut off an ear and taste it." When he had finished speaking, he cut off his ears with a knife and placed them in a wreck dish.

Lü Dongbin waited for TieQiu Li to finish speaking, and immediately said the second word, "Chenbei and Bei, Chenbei and Bei, I drunk wine in the pot first, it is less difficult to drink the dish, cut a nose with a match." After saying that, he cut off his nose with a knife and put it into the vermicelli dish.

Xiu Cai saw that they cut their ears and noses, and the blood did not come out, convinced that they could not imitate, how should this storm end? He thought about it a little, and he was confident, so he slowly and logically chanted according to the third word: "Hehuo heart, Hehuo heart, there is wine in the pot I drink first, the dish on the plate is less difficult to enter, pull ... The voice gradually became hoarse, and Lü Dongshi and Tie Quan Li asked impatiently, "What to pull?" Xiucai said the last sentence casually: "Pluck your eyebrows and be a snack." He said and plucked an eyebrow and put it on the plate. Lu Dongbin iron abduction Li indignantly said, Xiucai is also too impersonal, you don't even pull out an eyebrow is not so painful...

Xiucai smiled and said, "If it weren't for the two Great Immortals in front of me, I wouldn't have a dime!" ”

With the consent of the Taoist chief, he changed "Qingyun Garden" to "Qingyun Spectrum", taking the meaning of the spectrum above Qingyun, which may be the same as the inscription in his ancestral hall in his hometown as "People do not open their eyes to see the heavens".
