Look at Mr. Wu Zhihui first (1865- 1953):
There are similarities and differences between ancient Xian 'an and ancient Xian 'an.
The "source" here is pronounced as chūchǔ, which means "official or retired".
The meaning of this couplet is roughly-I have my own principles and methods to live in the world, and I don't care whether I am the same as others or different. Even the ancient sages, they just went their own way and did their own thing. I am similar to them.
This is very similar to a popular saying today: Go your own way and let others talk. If a person wants to get ahead and achieve great things, he must have such pride.
Then look at Zheng (1860- 1938):
The righteous should teach the world to see, to be self-respecting and to stay away from the laity.
? The first pair of couplets, "Righteous people teach the world to see", comes from the quatrain "The List of Immortals" written by the poet Sun in the Tang Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:
The satrap of Qi refused to surrender, and the Loyalty Festival was everywhere.
The righteous will teach the world to see and leave you with Yuan Ang.
What is said here is that Ma Xianxian, as a courtier of the Southern Dynasties, insisted on resisting Xiao Yan's rebellion, and Xiao Yan later replaced Liang Wudi, who proclaimed himself in the Southern Dynasties. The emperor likes loyal ministers and righteous men, and even former loyal ministers who used to be enemies with him should praise them greatly. "An upright person should teach the world to see" means that Xiao Yan praised Ma Xianxian for setting an example for the world with his noble behavior.
A gentleman is virtuous, but a villain is virtuous. The power of example is infinite. When the ancients talked about "educating the whole people", the common method was to find typical examples, set an example around them, and change the customs with points and areas.
The second couplet "high sentiment and vulgarity" comes from the quatrain "Send a poem" written by Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:
Self-esteem is high and laity is scarce, so he chose to live in seclusion from Lanxi alone.
You will get drunk when you are in white clouds, and you can't read idle books under the window.
This sentence can be understood as-don't chase fame and gain like a layman, go with the flow. If you can't serve your country, find a place to live in seclusion.
Generally speaking, loyalty to the country is pride, and seclusion is also pride, which can be regarded as different reactions of noble conduct in different situations.
Let's look at Mr. Tan Yankai again (1880- 1930):
After becoming a Buddha, I am afraid that I will live among talents and become famous before I am dressed in cloth.
The first part of the book "Becoming a Buddha is afraid of becoming a talent" comes from the seven methods of "Sitting alone in the South Building" by Yuan Mei, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:
Next to the Liangshan wine glass, I was in the setting light snow.
After becoming a Buddha, it is difficult to compete for fame before the ancients.
Ten thousand bones are piled up in history, and six gold are scattered.
I want to swim in the sea by whale, laughing that he is not a fairy.
"Becoming a Buddha is a talent" here uses the allusions of Xie Lingyun, a great genius in the Northern and Southern Dynasties:
Xie Lingyun is very conceited. He once said: "There is only one stone in the world (capacity unit, one stone equals ten buckets), and Cao Zijian (that is, Cao Zhi) has eight buckets. I have a bucket, a bucket since ancient times. "
This tone, it is estimated that Cao Zhi will also feel too arrogant. After all, "talents have been abroad for hundreds of years."
According to the biography of heather Xie Lingyun:
The satrap Meng Yi (yǐ) worked hard for the Buddha, but was despised by Lingyun. He said: "If you get the word, you must have wisdom. You must be born before the spiritual luck, and you will become a Buddha after the spiritual luck. " I hate this statement.
Look at Xie Ling's confidence in becoming a Buddha. His words are arrogant enough.
In Yuan Mei's poem, it seems modest to say that "after becoming a Buddha, you will live in talents", but it is not modest at all. His subtext is "becoming a Buddha does not live behind talents", that is, I am not an ordinary person, even a great talent like Xie Lingyun, I may not be able to become a Buddha before me.
We see that Mr. Yuanmei is not only confident that he can become a Buddha, but also confident that he will become a Buddha before others. This is the pride of Yuan Caizi!
By the way, the "becoming a Buddha" mentioned here does not refer to Buddhism or Buddhism, but should be understood as-breaking through sublimation in spiritual cultivation and reaching the realm of transcendence.
This is straightforward-I don't want to be an official and I don't want to adapt to those hidden rules. I just want to be an ordinary person, a famous ordinary person.
Since I want to be a "cloth" and still cling to "high fame", it seems that I am still unwilling to be lonely.
Then look at Mr. Zhang Tingji (1768- 1848):
A hundred flowers blossom in thousands of feet, and a hundred birds sing in unison.
Although this couplet is not explicit, it clearly tells everyone-do you know why I have a sense of pride? That's because my genes are different from yours.
Of course, the more pretentious a person is, the more likely he is to achieve extraordinary achievements. If you want to get ahead, you must first think that you can get ahead.
Let's take a look at Teacher Hu Linyi (1812-1861):
The skyscraper oriole has strange wings. It has many ancient branches.
This pair of couplets is similar to the last one, but it is better than the last one-only talk about yourself and don't belittle others. Mr. Hu is worthy of what this association has said.
Look at Mr. Liang Qichao again (1873- 1929):
There is a smell in the forest, not the vulgar smell of Su Ye Chong Lan.
This couplet is similar to the last two couplets, both of which are dragging their feet and expressing their heartfelt feelings.
Look at Mr. Wu again (1799- 1873):
Frost, pine, snow, cypress, absolutely tasteless, Yaolin tree dust.
This is similar to the last few couplets, so I won't say much.
Then look at Mr. Zhang Zongxiang (1882- 1965):
I have only painted dragons and phoenixes in my life, but I still have a heart of stone in my later years.
The first part of the book "I only paint dragons and phoenixes all my life" comes from Su Dongpo's seven-character ancient poem "For the Imperial Master Miao Shan". This Miaoshan teacher drew a portrait of an emperor (it should be Song Renzong). When Su Dongpo saw it, he couldn't help recalling his audience with the emperor. This poem is dedicated to Miaoshan, and there are two sentences:
I have written all my life, and I am willing to care about apes and roes in the grass.
Miaoshan only paints dragons and phoenixes, not apes. Using the physical objects of the painting can reflect the teacher's material selection and extraordinary realm.
By this sentence, can not help but remind people of "Zhuangzi? A passage from Autumn Water:
Hui Shi is in Liangzhou, and Zhuangzi went to see him. Someone told Hui Shi: "Zhuangzi is here to replace you as prime minister." . "So Hui Shi was very scared and looked for three days and three nights in the country.
Zhuangzi went to see it and said, "There are birds in the south. What do you know about them? Husband's carp originated in the South China Sea and flew to the North Sea. It's not a buttonwood tree, it's not a practice, it's not a drink, and it's not a drink. So the owl caught the rotten mouse, and the stork passed by and looked up and said, "Fear!" " This son tried to scare me with his son's Guo Liang? "
In this paper, "yuān chú" refers to a phoenix-like bird, which is proud of its "not only phoenix tree, but also not eating or drinking springs". How can such a bird take a fancy to a dead mouse like an owl?
The second couplet "There is still a heart of stone in my later years" also comes from Dongpo's poem. The general idea here is that morality is as old as ever, and the initial heart lasts forever. The more frustrated and brave, the older and stronger.
