A strange man in the Song Dynasty, obviously full of economy, just can't come out to engage in politics, obviously looks like a clear eyebrow, a proper handsome man, is not a wife for a lifetime. Throughout his life, he took pleasure in planting plum cranes, and was known as "plum wife crane". This person is also really funny, it is not good to find a beautiful woman to talk about love, get married, and do not play rogue, have to pervert the plum blossom as a wife, raise a crane as a son.
This person's name is Lin Kui, the family is very good, we modern people are the kind of people who have mines in the family, but even the best family can't withstand his toss of idle clouds and wild cranes all day long.

This person, as for his lonely personality, is the kind of introvert who is introverted to death, and he can't squeeze out two sentences to death. But he was very good at reading, and he could read any messy book, and the worst thing was that he could still read it. And super narcissistic, narcissistic to the point that you put a fart on yourself think it's incense, that's the kind of character. So he likes to be idle and unrestrained. And willing to be poor, do not climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix.
He was proficient in calligraphy, especially in cursive writing, and was able to paint. This person is strange, doing things strangely, writing poems and paintings by himself, very casual, writing is not a collection, but written out and thrown away, do not keep, people ask you why you do not leave the manuscript, he said: I came here because I like the beautiful scenery here, this is already a blasphemy of the beautiful scenery, and I do not seek fame, let alone leave it for future generations to read and reward, then throw it back there.
Even so, he circulated more than three hundred poems in the world, and there were three more words. The well-known verse is that he wrote about plum blossoms, "The shadow is shallow and shallow, and the dark incense floats at dusk of the moon". His nerve knife like this, even if it is, has also provoked a bunch of celebrities to admire him. For him, there are people who go to the door to ask for poetry, there are people who go to the door to make friends, there are people who go to the door to sing peace, and even some people build houses for him, causing a bunch of people to follow him crazy.
And even the imperial court admired him for three points, after the Song people crossed the south, Hangzhou became the capital, when the emperor wanted to build a royal temple on the lonely mountain, all the land on the mountain was occupied, but the tomb of this Lin Kui was left untouched, which showed the respect for him. As a result, some unknown people thought that this was the grave of a high-ranking official and nobleman, ran to plan the grave, and after digging it up, they saw two things, one was the stone he used to write before his death, and the other was the jade spoon used on his head.
As for why he never married for life, perhaps you can read one or two from this jade and his words. Today I will read his poem "Sauvignon Blanc"
Sauvignon Blanc
Wu Shanqing, Yue Shanqing. The green mountains on both sides of the strait greet each other, who knows the parting feelings?
Jun tears, concubines tears. The concentric knot of Luo Belt has not yet been completed, and the tide at the head of the river has subsided.
The whole word of the vernacular is: Wushan is verdant, Yueshan is verdant, two mountains stand on the north and south banks of Qiantang, both pairs are paired, can they understand the lover's parting?
The green mountains on both sides of the strait greet each other
The departing people have tears in their eyes, but the two hearts that are already in love with each other cannot come together, and the calm has been restored after the tide of the Qiantang River, which means that the two people have been discouraged because they cannot come together.
From the point of view of a resentful woman, this poem is very tragic, as if it is writing about himself. Coupled with the jade hut in his grave, I always feel that his lifelong non-marriage is because he can't get together with the people he likes, so he would rather die alone than be with someone he doesn't love.
There is no historical explanation about why he will be a lifelong "plum wife crane", but his persistence and fortitude are really admirable. A lifetime can be loved vigorously like this, and the lonely generation has no complaints and no regrets.
