There are thousands of Tang poems and tens of thousands of Song poems, although not all of them are high-quality works, but a masterpiece that has been passed down for a long time, in addition to harmonious rhyme and rigorous rhythm, it also needs to be integrated with true feelings, and can stimulate the imagination of readers and resonate with everyone. The talented Zhang said that although he was not a top poet of the Tang Dynasty, his works are very worthy of taste.
Zhang Shuo was a famous literary scholar in the Tang Dynasty, he was a scholar in his early twenties, and he was an official to the prime minister, and he was named the Duke of Yanguo. Zhang said that he was loyal, made a promise, and was more willing to promote young talents, Zhang Jiuling, He Zhizhang and others had been rewarded by him. The following shares the seven laws of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, which are extraordinary and can be regarded as the best works of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhuhu Mountain Temple
Don · Zhang said
The empty mountains are silent, and the empty valleys are far away with the sound of wild birds.
The Zen room has never been appreciated outside the world, and the incense platform is not the love of the world.
The east ridge in the clouds is thousands of miles out, and the south lake in the tree is bright.
If the nest is made to know this meaning, do not make the radish easy hairpin.
This poem describes Zhang Shuo's feelings after visiting the mountain temple, and the words reveal a yearning for Zen. 灉 (yōng) Lake, also known as South Lake, is located in Yueyang, Hunan.
The gist of the poem is: the empty mountains and forests, very quiet, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, make people yearn for Zen; The deep valley is not disturbed by the city, and the pleasant birdsong is heard in the ears from time to time. The solemn meditation hall makes people worship unconsciously; How can a smoke-filled Buddha hall be close to worldly emotions?
The towering East Ridge is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the scenery in the mountains and forests is ever-changing; The clear and bright South Lake, surrounded by green trees, is even more interesting. If the nest father and Xu You can come here to watch the scenery, they will also appreciate the poet's departure from the eunuch and seclusion in the forest spring.
As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, and is highly admired and worshiped by the world. However, Zhang said that he has an upright personality and does not want to flatter, let alone frame Zhongliang against his will. He once offended Wu Zetian's favor Zhang Changzong, so he was demoted to Lingnan by Wu Zetian. The poet was depressed along the way, and he couldn't get rid of it, passing through a mountain temple in Yueyang, and the talented man climbed the mountain alone to enjoy the scenery and chant poems to express his feelings.
The opening chapter expresses the feelings of seclusion, "The empty mountain is lonely, and the sound of wild birds is far away in the valley." "The poet walks in a sparsely populated valley, and the birds of the forest chirp in the branches, as if to welcome this guest from afar. The author uses a combination of movement and stillness to describe the joy in his heart and convey a spontaneous "Dao heart".
The jaw joint undertakes the word "Silent Calendar", which is full of Zen, "The Zen room has never been appreciated outside the dust, and the incense platform is not the love of the world." "Ordinary people deeply feel the hardships and ups and downs of life, and envy the leisurely and leisurely life of Zen practitioners, but few people understand the joys and hardships." "incense platform", referring to the Buddha hall.
Zen practitioners practice all the time, whether it is carrying water, cooking, ringing bells, or reciting sutras, their words and deeds are actually a way of practice, while ordinary people see practice as an excuse to escape from reality and get rid of worries. Therefore, the author believes that the Zen room and the incense platform are holy places, and those who are obsessed with it cannot bear the loneliness of accompanying the green lights and yellow scrolls all day long.
The neck couplet is picturesque, "the east ridge between the clouds is thousands of findings, and the south lake in the tree is bright." "The mountains are thousands of miles away, and it is extremely high, the clouds are treacherous, and the weather is thousands; The South Lake is like a mirror, bright and beautiful, the green trees are reflected, and the two are set off.
In just 14 words, it depicts a mountain scene with appropriate shades, and also expresses the author's excitement. At this moment, the poet seems to have forgotten the distress of being degraded, and as if he is in the pure land of bliss, he feels even more obsessed.
The end is rich in imagination, "If the nest knows this meaning, it will not be easy to hairpin." "Rosewood originally refers to creeping plants, and here it refers to the secluded life of the forest spring; The hairpin originally refers to the crown ornament of the dignitary, and by extension, it is the official career. Yi, meaning exchange.
Life is a practice, the mountain temple is full of Zen fun, if the "nest, by" two sages can be reincarnated, will definitely agree with Zhang said to live here for a long time, and why worry about those ethereal things. The full text is extraordinary, and it can be regarded as the best work of the Tang Dynasty.
