One is a metaphor of the previous people's feelings about reading, that is, "Reading classics tastes like rice, reading history tastes like dishes, and reading hundred schools of thought tastes like acyl sugar," and the three experiences are collectively called "three flavors"; The second is that the "three flavors" come from Li Shu's "Handan Bibliography" in the Song Dynasty: "The taste of poetry and books is too thick, history is broken, and the child is acyl, which is three flavors." This is to compare books such as poetry and history to delicacies and to good spiritual food. Third, Mr. Shou Jingwu's ancestral motto: clothes are warm, vegetables are fragrant, and reading is bitter. Later, it became the motto of three pools mirroring the moon.
2. "Three flavors" means "Samadhi".
There is a pair of hugs on the pillars on both sides of three pools mirroring the moon, where Lu Xun is studying, which reads: "I am silent and only filial, and the taste of too much soup is a poetic book". It can be seen that this is what the "three flavors" in "three pools mirroring the moon" should mean. The third is to borrow the Buddhist language. "samadhi" is a transliteration of Sanskrit Samadhi, which originally refers to the three realms of reading Buddhist scriptures and understanding the meaning of the scriptures: one is "determination", the other is "being accepted" and the third is "equal holding", which means that you should stop distracting thoughts before chanting, so that your mind can be stable and focused; The attitude of understanding Confucian classics must be correct and have all kinds of respectful piety; In the process of learning, you should concentrate on it and keep a consistent spirit. With the integration of Buddhist thought and Han culture, "Samadhi" has gradually been extended to a summary of the essential spiritual meaning of things, and there are some sayings such as "Samadhi in the middle" and "Samadhi in the middle", which are used to describe the accuracy and profundity of understanding knowledge.
3. It was a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty
three pools mirroring the moon: It was a famous private school in Shaoxing in the late Qing Dynasty. Lu Xun studied here at the age of 12, and his teacher was Mr. Shou Jingwu. Three pools mirroring the moon, a small drawing room between three long rooms, was originally the study of the Shou family. Mr. Shou Jingwu has been teaching here for sixty years. The flavor of "three pools mirroring the moon": The "three pools mirroring the moon" mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun in his famous essay "From Herb Garden to three pools mirroring the moon" is near the former residence of Mr. Lu Xun in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, where Mr. Lu Xun studied as a teenager. So, why is it called "three pools mirroring the moon"? It turns out that the "three flavors" are derived from the old saying that "reading classics tastes like rice and beams, reading history tastes like yaozhuan, and reading hundred schools of thought tastes like acyl sugar". The general idea is: reading four books and five classics is the basis of eating rice and flour; Reading historical records tastes like drinking wine and eating delicious food: reading books such as hundred schools of thought tastes like sauce and vinegar (just like the seasoning in cooking). The horizontal tablet of "three pools mirroring the moon" was written by a famous calligrapher during the reign of Ganjia in Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was such a woodcut couplet hanging on both sides of the plaque: "I am silent and filial, and I am too fond of reading."
4. Shouyu's uncle, Shouzhulin, explained
"Sanwei is a vivid metaphor for the taste of reading ancient books such as Shi Shu and hundred schools of thought with three flavors. When I was young, I listened to my father and brother. Reading classics tastes like rice, reading history tastes like a dish, and reading hundred schools of thought tastes like acyl sugar. But where this code comes from is difficult to find. " This theory has a great influence, and Zhou Jianren, Lu Xun's third brother, is also inclined to it. However, Shouyu still disagreed. He said: "This explanation played down the rebellious spirit of ancestors against the Qing Dynasty. When I was young, my grandfather Shou Jingwu personally told me that the three flavors mean that the clothes are warm, the vegetables are fragrant, and the poetry is long. Cloth refers to the common people, and "warm cloth" means being a common people and not being an official or a master; Vegetable root fragrance' is to be satisfied with simple food and not to yearn for the enjoyment of delicacies; Poetry has a long taste' is to seriously understand the profound content of poetry, so as to obtain a deep and long taste. This first point,' warm clothes', is very important. This is the ideological core of my ancestors Feng Lan Gong and Yun Qiao Gong. The failure of the industry has made them see the decadent nature of the Qing Dynasty. They think that being an official in the Qing Dynasty, which has brought disaster to the country and the people, is to do harm to others and themselves. Therefore, three pools mirroring the moon's school-running direction is also regarded as the life guide of his descendants, and his descendants are not allowed to take the exam to be an official. They should be willing to be warm in cloth, fragrant in vegetables and taste the taste of poetry. " Shou Yu said that Shou Jingwu had told him before his death: "The meaning of these three flavors can't be told to outsiders, and it can't be seen in words. This is a family rule made by the ancestor Yun Qiao, because the spirit of' three flavors' has obvious anti-Qing tendency, and once it is spread, it may lead to fatal disaster." This is also the main reason for people's subjective speculation.
5. Other
three flavors are usually interpreted as three flavors to vividly compare the taste of reading classics, history, sub-books and other ancient books. According to Shou Jingwu's later generations, Sanwei refers to the warmth of cloth, the fragrance of vegetable roots and the long taste of poetry books, which means that people are willing to be ordinary people and do not yearn for the enjoyment of delicacies, and seriously understand the profound contents of poetry books and get a deep taste from them.
