Yu Xiansheng also has a look of "When is the bright moon, a pot of wine, and the breeze in thousands of books", which is very quiet and chic.
Similar to the above two pairs of interests of Yu Xiansheng, one pair is "a good friend is like a bright moon, and it is better to look at flowers than to read strange books". Many people say that this couplet was written by Wang Wenzhi, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty (1730- 1802). Actually, it is not. Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher in Ming Dynasty (1555- 1636) wrote it a long time ago.
Let's look at a pair of words about how a reader "greets" a book. These words are very interesting. "Lovers pour new wine quickly, and the lights haven't gone out and they spend too much time on books" is written by He (1799- 1873), a scholar and great calligrapher in Qing Dynasty.
You see, the lamp oil is almost used up, and there is a strong interest in reading. After a quiet night's sleep, hurry and have a good look. A word "greedy" vividly describes the "greedy" taste of the last addiction.
It was far from so convenient for the ancients to read. Look at this pair of Qing Dynasty calligrapher Yang Yisun (18 188 1)' s "Famous wines shine brilliantly, but different books are like borrowing Jingzhou".
As for the difficulty of getting books, let alone the Qing Dynasty where couplets are located. Let's say that when I was a child, my father was a teacher in the 1970s and 1980s, and I was really ecstatic to buy an extra-curricular book from the town occasionally. I still remember watching Five Thousand Years Up and Down over and over again in the fifth grade of primary school. The Three Character Classics says that "a man's heritage is full of gold; I teach children, only classics ",for the ancients, books are really valuable property."
Here, "different books are like borrowing Jingzhou", which shows the preciousness of books to the extreme-not only "Jingzhou" means that books are priceless, but also reminds people that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and wanted to keep it for himself and didn't want to return it.
Mr. Jin Nong (1687— 1763), the leader of the Eight Eccentric Men in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, wrote "Drinking with Teenagers and Peeking at Ancient Books", with a cool and handsome style.
Teacher Jin also has a pair of "strange books, so old friends know each other", which is also fresh and lovely.
Tong Hua (1675- 1739), a scholar in Qing Dynasty, wrote "Little Zou Lu with Four Walls, Romantic Ancient Emperor", which made us feel "Confucian demeanor".
Zou and Lu in the first part of the alliance are the hometowns of Mencius and Confucius respectively. The meaning of "Little Zou Lu on the Four Walls" probably means that the Four Walls are all the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and entering the study is like being in a state of Confucius and Mencius' enlightenment.
The second part is Xihe, a romantic ancient emperor in the First Hospital. Emperor Xihe is one of the "Huang San" among the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", and Fu Xishi. The meaning of this sentence is probably-there is an affair in the court, and there are no chores in the heart, as if living in a quiet and peaceful ancient time.
Let's look at Mr. He's "There is nothing in the room but a yellow scroll, and the court is full of green roses". Although the language is plain, it seems meaningful to chew it carefully-there is nothing valuable in the room except books; The yard is covered with green radish and the ground is overcast. The short word 14 depicts a world of books and shadows, a peaceful and peaceful world, and a peach blossom garden for literati.
Finally, a set of calligraphy couplets is said, which collected the words of Wang Duo (1592- 1652), a calligraphy master in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. "Living in seclusion is enough to raise my ambition, and I can't be happier than reading", which directly tells the fun of reading. What kind of "joy" is "supreme joy"? You can experience it yourself.
