Zen classics:
Classic one: everything is illusory.
Classic 2: can't say.
Classic three: color is empty, and empty is color.
Classic 4: Life is like a thorn, if the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, it will not hurt; If the heart moves, if people move wildly, it hurts the body and bones, so they realize all kinds of pains in the world.
Classic five: a flower and a world, a leaf and a Buddha.
Classic 6: Looking back 500 times in my last life, I only got a brush once in my life.
Classic seven: great sorrow without tears, great enlightenment without words, silent smile.
Classic 8: The sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore. Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha.
Classic 9: Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing in the original, so where is the dust?
Classic 10: If I don't go to hell, who will?
First, several classic quatrains in Wang Wei's Collection of Wangchuan:
Wu Xinyi: "Hibiscus flowers are broken wood, and red calyx in the mountains. There is no one at home, leaving it open. "
Chai Lu: "There seems to be no one on the empty mountain, but I think I heard a voice. Sunlight, entering a small forest, reflected from the green moss to me. "
Zhulou: I am alone in the dense bamboo forest, playing the pipa and humming a song. It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue. "
Second, Meng Haoran's "Song of Returning to the Deer Gate at Night": "The bell of the mountain temple is already in the morning, and the fish is crossing the river. People walked along the shore to Jiangcun village, and I also returned to Lumen by boat. The moonlight at the deer gate made the mountain tree appear, and I suddenly came to the seclusion of exile. Thatched doors, pine paths, loneliness and tranquility, where hermits live and move, never need a companion. "
Thirdly, Chang Jian's "Zen State after Broken Mountain Temple": "On a pure morning, near the ancient temple, the morning light there points to the treetops. A winding path leads to a hidden place, and the Buddhist temple is surrounded by branches and flowers. Here, birds live in the mountain light, and people's hearts feel quiet in the pond. Everything is silent here, but the bell is ringing. "
Fourth, Li Bai's "Night at Tuolin Temple in Lushan Mountain": "I am looking for violet jade and going to Xiecheng Que alone. Frost clears Lin Dongling, water white tiger creek moon. Tianxiang is empty, and heaven is full of joy. The banquet was silent, motionless and unscathed. Zhan Ran is sincere and robbed. "
5. Liu Changqing's Looking for the Mountain Residence of Changshan People in Nanxi: "Walking on a small road, I found a footprint on the moss. White clouds are quiet, grass closes the idle door. A pine tree that has become greener because of rain, a stream that originated from the mountain source. Mixed with truth in the flowers, I have forgotten what to say. "
Wei's Xixi Chuzhou: "I am alone in the grass stream, and there are orioles singing in the trees. Spring tides bring rain late, and there is no boat crossing in the wild. "
Seven, Liu Zongyuan's "Jiang Xue": "Hundreds of mountains have no birds, and thousands of paths have no footprints. Lonely boat, fishing for the elderly in the cold river-snow. "
Since the Tang Dynasty, Zen Buddhism has prevailed, and it is the most powerful and influential Buddhist sect, so this kind of Zen poetry emerges one after another.
Selected Zen poems
Suqingyuanxia Mountain Temple
(Tang) Song Wenzhi
Shimen, Feiquan Street, Xuanjinsi, Xiang Xiu
Empty mountains are quiet and the night is silent.
The first time I heard this story, the bird looked at the heart and decided to be an ape.
There is no doubt that a dusty city has no tomb source.
[Notes]
(1) Qingyuan Xiashan Temple: Shimen in Wuling Mountain Area, Hunan Province.
(2) repair: caves
(3) Wulingyuan: the paradise described by Tao Yuanming in the Peach Blossom Garden.
[Appreciation]
The first couplet vividly depicts the majestic posture of ancient temples and cliffs, and the magnificent scenery of flying springs cutting through Shimen. Zhuan Xu tried to play up the quiet scene of Zen master and Kongshan practicing meditation in the middle of the night. The phrase "the first time I heard birds singing" shows that stillness is not a stagnant pool, and stillness does not enter stillness, but has lively and wonderful uses. At the same time, this sentence also tells us that the Zen master said that the bird did not sing, and realized the Buddha's nature. Only by realizing the Buddha's nature and knowing that it is everywhere can we smell it everywhere. "Looking at the heart and wanting to settle the ape" further illustrates the method of Zen master's meditation practice. This is a typical meditation method of the northern Zen master. They use apes as a metaphor for restless hearts. Xi Jing just stared at the ape and told it to stay still and enter meditation; Live a quiet life and understand the nature of Buddha. The couplet means that the ancient temple is remote and far away from the world, such as the Peach Blossom Garden. It can also be further understood that the real reason for isolation is loneliness, and loneliness is the only way to stay in the Peach Blossom Garden. So is the so-called "self-prejudice".
There is a gift for the owner who sits alone in the mountain pavilion on autumn night.
(Tang)
Zhong went to the bed and sat there meditating.
There are many trees in the rock court, and the stone is oblique and bright.
Hidden heart is silent, and clouds are lonely and mysterious.
I'd rather know that I'm tired, sick and crawling around the world.
[Notes]
(1) Master Hui: a monk in Dayun Temple. Zanning's Biography of Eminent Monks called him "the master of nature, the master of philosophers".
(2) Meridianism: Walk in a roundabout way during meditation to avoid fainting.
(3) Entering Zen: This is meditation, which makes the mind stay in one place, and the body, mouth and mind stop.
(4) Water Moon: The moon in the water is one of the top ten multiplication metaphors to illustrate the immaturity of various laws.
(5) Climbing: Climbing is the care for fate, and the heart changes with the external environment.
[Appreciation]
The first couplet describes Master Hui's Buddhist activities of chanting in the afternoon, passing by at dusk and meditating at night. Cleverly arranged the transition of time. On the occasion of meditation in the autumn night, "the rock court is full of trees."
The "Xia 'er Xie Mingquan" Buddhist temple is also full of quiet Zen. The neckline is facing people, telling the realm of Zen enlightenment of Hui Hui people. Meditation calms the heart tide, and wisdom is at hand, just like the shadow of the moon when the water is calm. Relying on wisdom, we can observe that all laws are meaningless, just like the illusion of water and the moon, so we can stay away from them without being infected and become awakened. For example, it is said that "knowing the illusion means leaving, and leaving the illusion means feeling". Xia Yun is impermanent, isn't it? Being able to understand this can't be said to be "thinking alone". The meaning of "thinking alone and mysterious" should be to know that no matter how clouds gather and disperse, the sky will never change, just like the Buddha's nature, "it will never die out, it will never increase or decrease" (Heart Sutra). At the end of the couplet, it is pointed out that the world can't stay away from magic, stand still and be plagued by diseases. It is really helpless and sad. The last sentence comes from the Vimalakīrti Classic, "What is a disease book?" "Turns out to be a climb.
Recite in the river
(Tang) Zhang said
Reality is hanging, and humility is dark.
The bright moon in Chengjiang should be empty.
[Notes]
(1) Reality: the real entity of all laws, also known as Buddha nature, dharma nature, truth, dharma body and true meaning. True, that's true; Phase refers to the nature or stage of things. Is the absolute truth of Buddhism.
(2) Color: refers to all materials that have images and occupy space. Mahayana Zhang said, "Quality hinders name and color."
(3) Emptiness: Everything comes from karma and combination, and there is no substance after all. It is called emptiness, which also means emptiness and falsehood.
[Appreciation]
The eternal reality of all kinds of laws, the lonely peak is exposed alone, the root dust is removed, the words and deeds must not be said, and the mind must not be lost. It is beyond the logical thinking of ordinary people. On the contrary, people's opinions prove the obstacles to realization, and the more they think about it, the farther they go. On the contrary, only by "hanging" all kinds of knowledge, eliminating all dust thoughts in the heart and making it empty and clear can we realize the present and return to reality. "Chengjiang bright moon.
It should be "color change is empty", which describes the realm after the poet realizes reality. Clear river water and clear moonlight are all color and emptiness, and emptiness is unique. The color of Heart Sutra is empty, empty is color, color is empty, and empty is color. In this realization, the poet suddenly felt that all his body and mind had been integrated with Chengjiang Mingyue, and it was empty, colorful and completely out of the dust. And this emptiness is by no means lifeless. In this sky, it can give birth to "Chengjiang Yue Ming", which is infinitely useful.
Tiyigong Zen room
(Tang) Meng Haoran
Gong Yi Xi Chen Jijie Yu Yi Konglin
There are many valleys in front of the outdoor peaks.
The sunset is full of rain, green and gloomy.
Look at the lotus and you will know that you are not stained.
[Notes]
(1) Gong Yi: a monk in Dayu Temple.
(2) Zen silence: practice with meditation. "Wei Mo Jing Convenience Goods" says: "I am single-minded and I am confused."
(3) What: What to read, which means gully.
(4) Lotus: It is not stained by mud, and Buddhism represents purity.
(5) don't dye: don't dye the law of secular desires.
[Appreciation]
Through this poem, the poet deeply praised the pure Brahma of the righteous monk, and also entrusted his seclusion feelings. The first couplet describes that the Zen house was built in a lonely mountain forest, which naturally escaped the emptiness of "too light for anyone to hear" (Wang Weiyu). In addition, the distance between the "beautiful outdoor mountain peak" and the "deep valley in front of the steps" shows that the weather here is sunny and the mountains are beautiful. The sunset glow is full of rain, and "the sky is grey and the court is overcast" has pushed the description of the quiet courtyard to the extreme. At dusk, the shower began to rest, the Buddhist temple was silent, the surrounding trees did not drop water, and the distant green mountain shadows were quietly projected into the courtyard, dark and ethereal, fresh and intoxicating. Such a quiet and clean scene is also the embodiment of Zen master's empty Ming Dow heart. Just like William said, "When you look at the lotus, you should know that you don't dye your heart." The Zen mind of a righteous monk is like a lotus that "grows out of mud without dyeing", and the dust doesn't touch your body. The whole poem was written by Jing Qing to Xin Jing, with ingenious conception, lofty artistic conception and touching feelings.
Dengzongchi Temple Tower
(Tang) Meng Haoran
When you climb into the air, you can see the whole of Beijing.
Surround Sichuan and bamboo all over the mountain, even to the garden.
Open a royal residence in the suburbs and tease others.
Sand the children from the beginning.
A glimpse of work, a glimpse of virtue, a glimpse of virtue, a heart.
Sit down and feel the fragrance of the sky and drive away the falling flowers.
[Notes]
(1) Ji: It means boarding.
(2) Money (Mo): field path
(3) Pagoda: refers to the stupa.
[Appreciation]
The first six sentences of this poem describe the scenery of Chang 'an through what the poet saw when he boarded the tower. On both sides of the Weihe River, surrounded by bamboos, the mountains and rivers are bright. Shangyuan stretches continuously, leading directly to the distant mountains. The suburbs of Beijing are full of luxurious mansions of emperors and generals; Tian She, a farmer, is naturally scattered in criss-crossing villages. In the eyes of a poet in midair. All these are the same decorations on the earth. Like a variegated fragrant flower in full bloom. This leads to further understanding. Buddhism says that from the beginning to the seventh place, a big monk must rob you, and from the eighth place to the Buddha, a big monk must rob you. So say: "tired robbery from the beginning." "Gathering sand for children's memory" is translated from "Hokkekyo, Convenient Goods". "Playing with children, gathering sand for stupas, and so on, are all based on Buddhism. This sentence not only says that teenagers are still far from practicing Buddhism, but also further shows that becoming a Buddha requires infinite efforts. More subtly, these two sentences are related to towers: it goes without saying that teenagers gather sand, and the sentence "the first place" can be extended to mean that no matter how high the tower is, it is also made from the ground. " A glimpse of merit, benefiting the Tao and increasing the heart tells that the bodhisattva of Chu first glimpses the merit of mind, and then advances further, in order to achieve Buddha's fruit. Finally, once again, it is precisely because I am in the tower that I feel close to the sky while sitting. At the same time, because I care about Buddhism, I can feel the joy of the sky and feel close. The last sentence implicitly uses the allusion of scattered flowers, which highlights the harmony between oneself and Buddhism and ends the whole poem in a magical and beautiful atmosphere.
Accompany Special Envoy Yao to the master's room.
(Tang) Meng Haoran
Liu Shangqing and Xue Mei's Early Warmth and Smoke.
Let's take a look at the boy listening to the Buddhist scriptures of the French king.
I will know that without the ego, I am tired of being tangible.
When you are fascinated, you should realize that you are not satisfied with your thoughts.
[Notes]
(1) Boy: Bodhisattva is often called a boy in the scriptures. One reason is that the Bodhisattva is the true son of the French king, and the other reason is that he has no lust, such as a boy on earth.
(2) Ji: the same as poetry. Generally, four sentences make up one sentence.
(3) Non-ego: I am a "constant body with a dominant function". But the human body is a false combination of five elements, and impermanence is one of my bodies; A man of practice is born by fate and is impermanent, so no one can be me.
[Appreciation]
The first couplet vividly describes the elegant and cold early spring scenery and the stable confrontation. Accurate description makes "Xue Mei" and "Smoke Willow" appear in front of us. Zhuan Xu's "If you want to see this boy, you must listen to Fa Wang" points out the theme of your poem. At the same time, Brahma is like a boy, and the profound teachings of the French king express admiration for the people who benefited from it. Neck couplets write about the poet's feelings of listening to classics. When you understand Buddhism, you will know the wonderful meaning of "no self". "Stop View" Volume 7 says: "Because there is no wisdom, there is me. With wisdom, there is no me. Where am I? Head, feet, limbs, one after another, I can't see you. Without the attachment to the "I" composed of the five elements through "emptiness analysis", it is natural to have an aversion to tangible material bodies. After this understanding and observation, the poet expressed his expectation for enlightenment, but he was embarrassed and sad because he could not think of his guests. Although he can't completely enter the Buddha, he clearly shows the poet's yearning for pure Buddhism.
Looking at the wall, Lu Jiu wants to draw a map.
(Tang) Baoji
The joys and sorrows of a lifetime are no different from those of a hundred years.
In the middle of the night, birds and magpies fight, and the real monk under the bamboo is in the middle.
[Notes]
(1) D: We live in one place but never leave.
[Appreciation]
Whether it's dry or glorious, it makes no difference to die in the end. "White hair is the whitest in the world, and there is no pity on my head." From then on, watching all kinds of joys and sorrows, no one can make them permanent in the passage of time. All sadness will eventually disappear. "Time will heal all wounds." So is happiness. The reason is that "all laws are born of reason, and all laws are destroyed by reason." The law born of karma is not real, nor does it exist forever. The so-called "everything is impermanent, and all laws have no self" is also true. When karma changes and there is no self-glory, joys and sorrows will also change and disappear. However, such an impermanent fact is driven by all beings to be ignorant and self-deceiving, killing their eyes for a little fame and fortune, just like birds and magpies competing with each other, which is really pitiful. He Ruzhu is a real monk. He goes deep into meditation and reality, and gets the silence of "Nirvana Silence"! This great joy does not come from origin, nor from fate, but from self-sufficiency and the ultimate destination of all beings. Here, the poet expressed his strong aversion to the world and his pursuit of happiness with silence.
cloud
(Tang) Guo Zhen
Gather the void, return to the savage's leisure place, and rely on it.
I don't know that I have no roots, but I cover the sun, the moon and the stars.
[Notes]
1 Savage: Shan Ye Idle Man
Loop: Joan's bamboo can be used as a crutch.
[Appreciation]
Infinite sky, vast sky, floating clouds come and go. Here, the meaning of impermanence is profoundly written, and the purport of the cloud is achieved. The second time, the savage leaned over to watch, characterized by static words, similar to the Shu of clouds.
Suddenly, very fast) moving, in sharp contrast. Poets live in the wild, watching others walk into the clouds of impermanence, and making all kinds of useless poems that cover the moon and the stars. What they reveal is a warning to the world: impermanence is suffering, so we should find it early, don't be obsessed with pursuing worldly fame and fortune, and work hard for it. The deeper meaning is that the clouds come and go, the void is not turbulent at all, and the glory of the sun, the moon and the stars is not lost by the clouds. The truth of this metaphor is like vanity. It was never born and will not die today. Let the world bury it. As long as the world is willing to "rest" and is not obsessed with rootlessness. You can lean on the clouds and try your best to understand the true meaning of gossip. Nature is "no shame, look at the flowers before the court; Come and go at will, as you wish. "
Monk room
(Tang) Wang Changling
The yard is covered with palm flowers.
Famous sayings never smell strange fragrance in the air.
[Notes]
(1) Famous sayings: famous sentences. They all stood by each other and were impersonal, so those famous sayings were also false and untrue. The world insists on falsehood, takes famous sayings as truth, says names as truth, and so do false famous sayings.
[Appreciation]
The phrase "palm flower is full of courtyards, and Taiwan moss enters the leisure room" gives a vivid sketch to the temple. Lively and bright palm trees filled the courtyard, full of vitality and freshness. Quiet and secluded moss is scattered on the steps at will, all the way into the monk's room, moving quietly, outlining the boundless tranquility of the temple, but full of vitality. The scenery in front of us is easy to remind people of the famous sentence of Zen: green bamboo is full of dharma; The gloomy yellow flowers are nothing more than prajna paramita. The realm of "the world is cold and the dust settles" naturally makes the poet deeply understand. It is the realm of self-enlightenment, "everyone's famous words are in their proper place, and the air smells wonderful." He and the monks sat speechless in the yard, immersed in deep Zen. At this time, all the famous sayings are fetters and redundant. So silent, everything is enough. At this time, the air is filled with a fresh fragrance, and the realm of Zen is praised by heaven and man. These two sentences also contain examples of Bodhi meditation, Indra throwing flowers like rain, praising the Venerable Master for saying Prajna Paramita with wordless kindness. And express the poet's happiness.
My retreat in Zhongnanshan
(Tang) Wang Wei
I came to live at the foot of this mountain, and my middle-aged heart found its way.
Xing lai du mei went to the beautiful place, which is everything to me.
Then sit down and watch the rising clouds, and I will keep walking until the water blocks my way.
Laughing and laughing, never coming back, one day I will meet an old woodcutter.
[Notes]
(1) Industry: Villa
(2) Nanshan: Zhong Nanshan.
[Appreciation]
In the first couplet, the poet explained that he believed in Buddhism after middle age and lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan in his later years. Putting pen to paper is simple and natural, and the feeling of detachment from things is faint. In the leisurely seclusion life, poets often wander alone on impulse and enjoy themselves. "In beauty, everything is for me" expresses himself. Gao Huai is happy and enjoys himself. Writing about scenery in the neck is full of Zen, which is a rare famous sentence throughout the ages. The last sentence said that he walked at will, and he came to the end of the running water; The next sentence says that where there is no road, just sit down and watch the white clouds float. A line, a seat, a look, clean, free and easy, the poet is free and easy, not annoying or annoyed, and his mood is completely out of place. The tail is attached to a lonely and silent place, and suddenly it is worth meeting the old man. It's funny to laugh and forget the time. It is to push the realm of independence to the extreme and lead it to normal. The fluency of poetry is more natural than running water, and the "willful" Zen monk has great grace when he comes out of the mountain.
Qing Xia long Shi Lian Zen master
(Tang) Wang Wei
Long Zhong Yi Lao Xu Mambu visited the Zen Palace.
If you want to ask righteousness, mind and meaning, you can know emptiness, illness and emptiness far away.
In the eyes of mountains and rivers, in the legal system of the world
Don't blame the heat for the wind.
[Notes]
(1) Meaning: indicates indecision. There are two kinds of mystery: mystery and mystery. Seeing that the mystery is broken; The mystery can't be solved until Buddha fruit.
(2) Empty disease: clinging to emptiness.
(3) Eye of Heaven: the eye of heaven and man at a far distance is one of the five eyes. There are two kinds of celestial eyes: one is from the blessing newspaper, such as heaven and man; Second, it comes from penance, such as the eye of heaven obtained by the venerable Ana.
(4) Dharma body: refers to the Buddha's self-nature, and the truth proved by the Buddhas is like Dharma body. Also known as Dharma Buddha, or self-body, the first body.
[Appreciation]
The poet who wrote this poem himself was senile and staggered to visit the Zen master in Qinglong's poem on a hot day. The hardships of the journey reflect the poet's devotion to Buddhism. The calm narration makes people feel that this piety is not in full swing, but it has penetrated into the poet's heart, integrated with life, calm and solid. After visiting the Zen master, the doubts disappeared. The second couplet expresses the poet's understanding after he suddenly dispels doubts. A pore can hold three thousand worlds. The whole mountains and rivers are also common in the eye of heaven. Dharma bodies spread all over the country, leaving San Ji destitute. How does the world surpass it? If this is proved, heat is not heat, but heart. Without the hot phase, the ground wind can suddenly rise and disappear.
Very sexy. But it's not hot at all. The antithesis of the whole poem is extremely neat, the reasoning is clear, the meditation is profound, and the content is collected and released, which reflects Wang Wei's profound skill in poetry writing and meditation.

Burn incense and read Taoist scriptures with grass, rice and pine chips
When the lights are lit during the day, it is early at night.
Realizing the pleasure of loneliness, I have more leisure in my life.
Why do you want to go home? Why is your life still empty?
[Notes]
(1) rice monk: That is to say, if you want to fast a monk, please ask him to repent.
(2) Qingqing: a vessel made of copper.
(3) Enlightenment: the symmetry of "mystery" gives birth to true wisdom, reverses dreams and realizes truth.
(4) Silence: another name for extinction and nirvana. Refers to a state of detachment from life and death, silence and inaction.
(5) Artemisia: a plant.
[Appreciation]
The first six sentences of the poem are about the place where you return to your heart in your later years and the situation when you wait for a monk to become a monk. The poet devoted himself to Buddhism all his life, and did not recover until his later period, and completely returned to pure Buddhism. "Japan and the public are sparse" not only writes about practicing hard every day and being sparse with others, but also reveals the inevitability of high and low music. The poet is full of respect for the monks who should repent in the future and yearns for the narrative of life on Yunfeng. Everyone sat on the straw mat and ate pine nuts, which was simple and unconventional. Eat, burn incense, read classics and get spiritual food. In the midst of fragrance and tranquility, time suddenly passed, but the poet immersed in Buddhism and Zen did not notice it. It was not until the light rang that I suddenly realized that the day had passed and the night had come. This not only reflects meditation, but also shows that time is relative. The last four sentences are the crowning touch of the whole poem. "Enlightenment without silence, endless fun" describes that the poet suddenly realized when chanting with monks, thus winning the joy of silence. From the "one enlightenment", we can see that the poet's practice method belongs to Nanzong and advocates epiphany. The so-called "the mystery after the robbery, the enlightenment is instantaneous" ("altar sutra"). Being quiet and happy means "nothing is learned, idleness is the way" (Master Yongjia. Prove the Taoist Song), so say "I am more idle in this life". People who have already realized it naturally have no such persistence as deep mountains and shallow cities. They are everywhere, and there are "Yunfeng" everywhere, so there is a question "Why do you miss home deeply?" "Life experience is still empty" is a further explanation that both oneself and the world are empty, and it doesn't matter whether it is deep or not.
Nei Nei
(Tang) Wang Wei
Sawdust hibiscus mountain red calyx
No one came and fell one after another.
[Notes]
Magnoliaceae: magnolia
(2) Hibiscus: Lotus
(3) Stream: a ditch running between mountains.
[Appreciation]
In the lonely and uninhabited deep stream, magnolia blooms silently. There is no joy in life, no sorrow in death, pure self-sufficiency and ignorance of others. It is completely a portrayal of the poet's self-sufficiency and nature. The Buddha's Bodhi tree is indeed supreme, and the first sentence points out: "Magic! It's amazing! All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, because they are obsessed with it and cannot be proved. " Self has everything, whether it is on or off, whether it is unknown or known, and it will not hinder "contentment". Poets have realized this truth through meditation, and poetry is a kind expression of their own nature. What's even more amazing is that you can express your Zen without a little Buddhist words. In a short span of 20 crossings, the Zen scene that can't be clearly expressed in a thousand words is completely displayed in a very simple way, so that every reader can feel absolutely comfortable with his own experience and drift across the realm of loneliness and joy, and suddenly feel that "life experience is forgotten and all thoughts are silent." This poem is indeed a masterpiece of "Zen into poetry"
Answer deputy magistrate Zhang
Tang Wangwei
Freed from 10,000 things, with the passage of time, all I got was peace.
What could be better than going home? I ask myself and answer.
My piano is bright because of the mountains and the moon, and the breeze blows my belt.
Listen, there is a fisherman singing on the lake! , you ask me good or bad luck?
[Notes]
1 Take care of yourself: Take care of yourself.
Poor communication: blocking and accessing. Hui Yuan, a master in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once wrote Poor Communication.
3 Pu: The place where the water margin or river flows into the sea.
[Appreciation]
In his later years, the poet stopped worrying about the secular world and pursued a quiet and plain environment and life. The background of the word "I ask myself and answer myself" is a bad political environment, which makes the poet have no proper way to protect himself. At that time, Zhang Jiuling had gone to war, and Li monopolized the power, and the decline of state affairs became more and more unbearable. In this case, what people can do is to return to the mountains. The word "empty" reveals how helpless and worried I am about the Tang Dynasty. Life in the mountains gradually faded away from the shallow traces of sadness. "The wind of the pine tree blew my belt.
And my piano shines with the mountains and the moon. Everything seems natural and kind, as if it were normal, but it contains endless Zen. Leisure and self-adaptation, luck and fate, joy eliminates sadness and fills every corner of life. The couplet at the end is "Listen, there are fishermen singing on the lake!" To explain "poor feeling"! ",this kind of answer is really meaningful. When Zen receives scholars, it often uses some illogical but true language to interrupt the climber's thoughts and help him realize it. If a monk asks "the price of the cave mountain is good" (name), "What about the Buddha?" Shan Yun: "Ma Sanjin. The poet who went deep into the clan did not answer the question here, but put forward a sentence, "Listen, there are fishermen singing on the lake! "... What does this mean? Ginseng.
Through the temple of Ji Xiang.
Tang Wangwei
I'm wandering under the clouds for miles, and I don't know the way to xiangji temple.
But now I hear bells on high places, passing through ancient Woods without human footprints.
Pines ease the sunshine, and streams sing on the winding rocks.
Thought can conquer the dragon of passion, near an empty pool at dusk.
To annotate ...
(1) Ji Xiang Temple: Shenhe Garden located in the southern suburb of Xi City, Shaanxi Province.
(2) Meditation: Living in meditation. If meditation is not restricted by the environment, it is called "meditation does not need mountains and rivers"
(3) Poisonous dragon: greed, anger and stupidity are like poisonous dragons.
[Appreciation]
When this poem is written together, the reader will be taken to the Ji Xiang Temple. The poet has walked a long mountain road, but Ji Xiang Temple is still in Yunfeng. Although it was a little hard, the scenery along the way relieved all fatigue. Old trees of unknown age are lush and cover the sky, leaving only emptiness and coolness. There was no one else on the path, but walked leisurely to the ancient temple. A faint bell sounded in the distance, further indicating the purpose of this trip. Through the bell, the clear spring and the clear stone play a piece of peace of mind, and they are thrown into the layers of forests in the evening sunshine, making the pine trees colder. The four poems, from color to sound, and from sound to color, let readers follow the poet into the mountains and temples, fully integrate into their environment, and enjoy themselves physically and mentally. It was dusk when I arrived at Ji Xiang Temple. The pool in front of the temple is clear and wave-free, just like the poet's quiet and dust-free mood at this time. My heart is like the greed and ignorance of the dragon, and it is also subdued in meditation. The main part of the poem describes all the scenery along the way, and then it is classified as "Thought can conquer passion-dragon". Along the way, what I saw and heard was a realm of Zen, which seemed to depict the scenery and the heart, making readers feel poisoned for a while.
