On July 31, 1940, Guo Moruo accompanied the French consul Yang Kewei and his wife on a tour of Jinyun Mountain, and the president of the Han-Tibetan Catechism, Master Taixu, extended a warm hospitality and invited them to visit the exhibition room. Guo Moruo found a poem inscribed by Tian Han in the guestbook:
Too vain to float the sea from the South Sea, with the same armed as if it were.
In this world, there is no tranquility, and the nine days of flying tin protect the true light.
It was June 15, and Tian Han, along with Professor Chen Zizhan of Fudan University, and Zhao Taiyun, Zhu Shuangyun, Yu Shan, and others browsed Jinyun Mountain.
At that time, Master Taixu led an international delegation of Chinese Buddhism to Visit and exchange views in Annam, Myanmar, India, and the Nanyang Islands, and when he returned to the mountain on the first day, he received Tian Han and his party in the guest hall in spite of fatigue, and after detailing his visit to Nanyang, he guided them to visit the showroom that had just been arranged.
This exhibition room is located in the reading room downstairs of the library of the Hanzang Catechism, and the ink on the doorhead of the banner "Buddhist Visiting Mission Dharma Exhibition Room" has not yet dried, and Tian Han, as the first audience, entered the exhibition room.
Most of the indoor displays were treasures donated by various governments, groups and Buddhist believers during Taixu's visit, as well as cultural relics and landscape photos taken by the delegation, including hundreds of pieces such as jade Buddhas, silver pavilions, golden pagodas, ivory, Baye Sutras and relics. Tai Xuan himself as a narrator, from the Jade Buddha, Ivory... As I walked, I introduced them one by one. When they walked to the middle of the showroom, they saw two poems on the wall with five words and five words, and Tian Han was silently reciting the first poem, "There is no obstacle in the Buddha's land, and people are willing to return to heaven", when suddenly a gong sounded, and someone outside shouted loudly: "There is an air raid alarm!" ”
Tai Xuan hurriedly ordered the steward to lead Tian Han and his party to the "Naga Cave" to avoid air raids. In the Naga Caves, Tian Han listened to the enemy planes passing over the top, pounced on Chongqing, and then remembered the two poems of Tai Xuan, and after returning to the exhibition room, he inscribed this poem on the message book.
When Guo Moruo enjoyed this poem, he overheard the air raid sirens coming, and soon 36 enemy planes appeared in the sky, bombing Beibei. After the bombing was over, and the mind was fixed, Guo Moruo stepped into the field Hanyuan rhyme, and wrote a poem in the guestbook:
Boundless law sea is a vast ocean, and the bay leaf group is brilliantly dressed.
The alarm suddenly became the end of the matter, and the day was dark.
