Chapter 256 Meandering Water Drinking Water
My charming but short-lived ancestor: In other words, the name Feihualing is so sweet even when pronounced. The ancients were really good at naming.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: who says it’s not true, and the names of the colors in ancient times are also very nice, such as my favorite Dongfang Jiming!
I didn’t think about using this online name first: Ahhhhhh! And to be honest, even the clothes, decorations and various names are very nice. We really don’t accept the wisdom of the ancients!
Kick the lame man's good leg wildly: That's not the case, they are just backward in technology, but their brains are very good!
Lianlian: Yes, that is the degree of strict selection among the nine tribes!

Who in the clouds sent me a brocade letter: Agree! And Feihua Ling is fun to play now, especially the content in the "Chinese Poetry Conference" is really exciting!
The pig came to the bowl quickly: I really like Wu Yishu, her poetic and calligraphic temperament is really charming!
All the ancestors: Hahahahaha... hiccup, that is to say, these future generations can really praise others. This praise makes them feel embarrassed.
Su Yue also praised a few words and said, "Okay, let's look at an allusion, although many people know this allusion."

On the third day of March in the ninth year of Yonghe (353 years), Wang Xizhi, a nobleman of the Jin Dynasty and internal historian of Kuaiji, together with his relatives and friends Xie An, Sun Chuo and other 42 senior military and political officials from across the country, held a "Qu Shui Shui Shang" ceremony in Lanting after the wedding ceremony. "The event has become a legend through the ages.

This Confucianism and elegance have been passed down to this day.

At that time, Wang Xizhi and others sat on the ground on both sides of the clear stream in Lanting after holding a ritual ceremony for praying against evil spirits. They placed wine glasses in the stream and slowly floated down from the upstream. After passing through the winding stream, the glasses were swirling in front of someone. Or stop, whoever has to compose an impromptu poem and drink wine.

According to historical records, in this game, 11 people each wrote two poems, 15 people each wrote one poem, and 16 people failed to write a poem, and each was punished with three drinks of wine.

Wang Xizhi collected everyone's poems, wrote a preface with silkworm cocoon paper and a whisker pen, and took advantage of his excitement to write the world-famous "Preface to the Lanting Anthology", which was praised by later generations as "the best running script in the world". He is revered as the "Sage of Calligraphy".

The "Preface to the Lanting Collection" is also called "Tiè".

There is a poem:

1 Lanting’s meandering water is good at romance. Move the banquet to Qingqiu.

2 Liu Shang Yuan has already ridiculed the reason, and even said that three days will be a good time. The seats in Shanyin are all luxurious, and there are many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an.

3. The green pond is full of soft willows and the waves are flowing, and the green silk is dancing on the green silk. In order to report to the guests at Kuaiji Pavilion, Yonghe should be defeated by Yuanhe.

4 Lanting Silk and Bamboo. Gao Hui is a group of wise people, and his people are like jade. The meandering water flows into the wine cup, drizzle falls in front of the lamp, and the flowers on the eaves are in bloom.

My charming, short-lived ancestor: So? Is this talking about the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" or about the elegant gathering of literati?
Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: I don’t know, but I don’t know how to talk and just talk about Wang Xizhi, right?
Jiangnan is already in mist: I don’t know, just keep watching

He kicked the lame man's good leg wildly: Yes, Yueyue, tell me quickly!
……

Su Yong also lived up to expectations and said: "What are we going to say? When we say it, Qu Shui's mouth is full of laughter!
Although many people have not heard of this event, it is really an event that literati like.

Let’s take a look! "

"Meandering water drinking wine" is a custom derived from the Shangsi Festival.

At that time, after people held the ritual of exorcism, everyone sat on both sides of the canal, placed wine cups in the upper stream, and let them flow down the river. Whoever the cup stopped in front of would drink and enjoy each other, so it was called "Qu Shui Shang" ".

The wine cup is an ancient wine-holding vessel, that is, a wine cup.

Usually made of wood, they are small and light, with a support at the bottom and can float in the water. There are also pottery cups with ears on both sides, also known as "feather cups" because they are heavier than wooden cups. When playing, they are placed on lotus leaves to make them float on the water. This kind of game has been around since ancient times. The ancient "Yi Shi" says: "The wine glass follows the waves."

There is also a saying in the Han Dynasty that "draining the water leads to drinking water, and the water flows into meandering water". Later, it gradually became an important part of the Shangsi Festival.

Although Wang Xizhi's Lanting gathering also held a ritual ceremony for cultivating evil spirits, the main activity was the "Qushui Liushu Shang" activity, which highlighted the chanting of poems and essays, drinking and admiring the scenery, which had a great influence on later generations. In Shaoxing, the "Qushui Liushuo Shang" activity This custom of drinking wine and chanting poems has lasted for thousands of years, but it has always been popular.

The activity of "Qushui Shang" was an activity of some literati in the later period.

In fact, it is to dig a small river in the yard, and then ask the servant to float the wine glass on the river in the upper reaches of the river. When the wine glass floats in front of someone, that person will compose a poem.

If you can't do it, you have to drink.

Antique decoration
"Jiatai Kuaiji Chronicles" Volume 10: "During the Six Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, Xie Kangle and his younger brother Xie Huilian, known as Xie Xie, once went boating on the Ye River and exchanged poems at the Prince Jingshan Pavilion." A couplet between Xie Lingyun and Huilian was engraved in (Gutan ) tree side".

Song Zhiwen, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, pioneered the trend of Tang poetry in Shaoxing.

In the second year of Yongchun (683), Wang Bo, the leader of the Four Great Masters of the early Tang Dynasty, led a group of poets to host an event imitating Wang Xizhi's Orchid Pavilion Collection at Prince Jingshan Pavilion of Yunmen Temple, and wrote an article "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" imitating it. "Preface to the Mountain Pavilion Presented by Xiuyunmen".

Perhaps Wang Bo still had some unfinished ideas, so he worked here again in the autumn of the same year and wrote "Preface to the Yuezhou Autumn Feast in the Mountain Pavilion".

After that, there was a poet named Zhedong in Dali (57th century).

The poets of the Tang Dynasty would certainly envy the leisurely style of the nobles of the previous dynasty, but perhaps they wanted to see this poeticized Shanyin Road with their own eyes. In this way, they actually stepped on another "Tang Poetry" on the Shanyin Road. road" comes.

In the second year of Yongchun of the Tang Dynasty (683), in this year, the young talent Wang Bo went to Yunmen Temple and imitated the Yonghe elegant gathering to practice Wuxing here. He also wrote a "Preface to the Cultivation of Wise" similar to the "Preface to Orchid Pavilion".

It was said that it was about cultivating evil spirits, but in fact it was a poetry competition held in the early Tang Dynasty poetry circle. At that time, all the most outstanding poets in the country were present.

Why Wang Bo chose Yunmen Temple seems to require some ink: Yunmen Temple was the former residence of Xian Xian and his son when they were in Kuaiji; later, Xizhi's seventh generation Sun Zhiyong became the abbot here, leaving behind the "iron threshold" and "retreat" There are many anecdotes such as "Bi Jia" and "Thousand Character Essay". The most fascinating one is that Zhiyong's apprentice Benzai accidentally lost the "Lanting Preface".

This Yunmen Temple is not to be underestimated even in the history of Chinese Buddhism. Just looking at the successive abbots is very satisfying, such as Bo Daoyou, Fa Kuang, Zhu Daoyi, Zhi Daolin, Hongming, Tan Yi, Zhiyong, Zhanran, They are all sectarian figures.

Later, Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty often visited Yunmen Temple when he was serving as an official in Yuezhou.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the young Lu You built the "Yunmen Thatched Cottage" here to study.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Hongxu was ordained as a monk in Yunmen Temple, and his Buddhist name was Hui Chi. This year was the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1646).

Some of the things that happened in the three consecutive years of 1644, 1645, and 1646 are really intriguing and need to be recorded independently.
