Outside the pavilion, next to the ancient road,
The grass is blue
The evening breeze blows the willow flute,
The sunset is beyond the mountain.
The edge of the sky, the corner of the earth,
The bosom friend is half scattered;
A cloudy glass of wine makes you happy,
Don't go to Meng Han tonight.
Outside the pavilion, next to the ancient road,
The grass is blue
The evening breeze blows the willow flute,
The sunset is beyond the mountain.

He is Li Shutong, an outstanding pioneer of modern literature and art, and later generations respectfully call him Master Hongyi. Some people may be at a loss about Li Shutong, but as long as you mention Master Hongyi, you will suddenly realize that Li Shutong and Master Hongyi are the same person. In the development history of modern literature and art in China for nearly a hundred years, Li Shutong is recognized as a generalist and a wizard in the literary and art circles. He dabbled in poetry, music, art and seal cutting, and made great achievements.

He pushed the ancient calligraphy art in China to the extreme, saying that it was "simple and perfect, as natural as it is". Modern cultural celebrities such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo all regard getting a master's painting as their greatest honor.
At the same time, he was also the first pioneer to spread western music to China. He wrote more than 90 songs in his life, most of which were lyrical works by borrowing scenery. The words he filled in inherited the meaningful beauty of China's classical poems, with profound artistic conception. The fusion of words and songs complements each other and reaches a high artistic level.
In order to welcome the centenary of Nanjing University, in September, 1999, Nanjing University issued the Notice on Collection of Nanjing University School Songs to alumni at home and abroad, and began to collect the lyrics and scores of Nantah School Songs. Over the past year or so, the collection of school songs has been widely participated and strongly supported by Nantah alumni, teachers and students at home and abroad, and people from all walks of life. For a time, election manuscripts full of wisdom, enthusiasm and deep concern for Nantah rained down from all directions. After extensively listening to the opinions of all parties and learning from the experience of selecting school songs in other universities, the celebration office has collected dozens of candidate school songs and several old school songs, and invited relevant experts to review and evaluate them. In 2000 and 20001year, the school also held a concert of candidate school songs. Finally, the oldest school song in the history of Nantah was determined as the school song of Nantah today. This school song was written by Jiang Qian, the first president of Nanjing Normal University, and composed by Li Shutong, a master of modern music.
Song of Nanjing University
Jiang Qian wrote the lyrics and Li Shutong composed the music.
Great, sincere, the world is moving,
Such as tripod, knowledge, benevolence and courage.
Thousands of saints will return to Xi and merge into the cave.
Next to the next generation, there are thousands of people, and the same is true.
Heel in Haixi, Jiangdong;
The towering North Pole is among the golden cities.
Tiankai teaches Zexi, and I have endless ways;
I am willing to be infinite, like Japan.
Experts believe that this school song is clear and transparent, with profound artistic conception and bright and fresh tune. Although the lyrics are only 73 words, they are magnificent and rich in connotation. Sounds like walking on the lawn in front of the South Auditorium. Nantah has a history of one hundred years. This school song should be able to sing this thickness.
Comparatively speaking, other capitals are a little impetuous. Moreover, the score and lyrics of this old school song have reached a very high level. An expert who participated in the selection of school songs said: "To choose the best school song, we still think this song is good until now;" In another 50 years, you'd better let a few experts judge it. "
His calligraphy art is exquisite, just like a rough diamond, cold and dusty, refined, elegant and free-flowing, full of music, simple and honest, which embodies the humility of Confucianism, the nature of Taoism and the silence of Buddhists, "simple and complete, like nature itself". Modern cultural celebrities such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo regard it as an honor to get a portrait of him. As the first pioneer to spread western music to China, the founder of China drama, the first person to introduce western painting to China, and the pioneer of China watercolor painting, he has cultivated a generation of cultural celebrities with outstanding artistic attainments, such as famous painters Feng Zikai, Pan Tianshou and musician Liu Zhiping.
In terms of emotion, Li Shutong's emotional life is also extremely rich. Li Shutong, full of artistic temperament, had "seeds of love" as early as the age of 16 or 17. At that time, the person he secretly loved was Yang. Yang, whose real name is Chen, was poor when he was a child. He was sold to a musician named Yang and studied under his guidance. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was beautiful and beautiful, and he was born with a good voice. As soon as he took the stage to perform, he immediately won the house applause.
Yang
Li Shutong's mother has always liked going to the theatre. Since she lost her husband at the age of 24, she has been addicted to the theater. Every time she goes to the theater, she takes Li Shutong with her. After the troupe is over, they often take Yang home with lanterns, talking and laughing all the way, and the two young hearts get closer and closer. I once gave Yang two "Bodhisattva Man", and the lines were full of tenderness and sweetness:
First, the flowers on Yan Zhishan are like snow, and the people under Yan Zhi Mountain are like the moon. The eyebrows are scattered in the green clouds, and the eyebrows are light. Autumn leaves are sparse after sunset and rain; Fear of small words and worry, talk and worry are not ashamed.
Second, the evening breeze is weak and tender, and the eyes are forgotten to be green; At the end of the month, Du Yu in Jiangnan cried. Crazy soul pin twist, willing to wear Hua Die; Outside the curtain, the flowers are shaded, and the fragrance touches the dream.
However, Li Shutong's first love soon ended. Li Shutong was heartbroken when she learned that the woman she fell in love with was given to a rich family as a gift and that she spent all her days in Lacrimosa. My mother and eldest brother saw that they were unhappy because of lovelorn love, and soon they asked someone to find the daughter of a rich businessman-Yu. Li Shutong attaches great importance to his feelings and resolutely opposes his family arranging his own marriage. Li Shutong likes Yang Trish, because Yang Trish has outstanding acting talent and a moving smile. Yu's body has no artistic breath at all. However, the arm can't twist the thigh after all. Filial piety married in 1897.
In the second year after marriage, Li Shutong moved to Shanghai with her mother and family. In this most open and inclusive city in China, Li Shutong's talents have been fully exerted. Soon, he joined the literary group "Chengnan Literature Society" and became "five friends at the end of the world" with Xu, Cai Xiaoxiang and Zhang. Every day, he drank, recited poems and painted, which made him happy. At that time, Shanghai was known as one of the eight "flowers" in the world, and romantic places abound. And other romantic talents are frequent visitors to these places, and they are close friends with famous prostitutes Zhu, Li Pingxiang and Xie in Shanghai at that time.
Li Pingxiang
The affection between Li Shutong and Li Pingxiang goes far beyond ordinary communication. Later, Li Shutong entered Nanyang Public School and had more frequent contacts with Li Pingxiang. A few years later, deeply stimulated by his mother's death, Li Shutong decided to bid farewell to the romantic Shanghai Foreign Exchange and study in Japan.
Once, when Li Shutong was sketching in the park, she met a Japanese woman named Junko Chunshan. From then on, Li Shutong and Junko Chunshan naturally became friends. Junko often works as a painting model for Li Shutong. She fell in love with this talented young man in China, and Li Shutong had a strong feeling for Junko, which he regarded as his first love. Soon, Li Shutong and Junko Chunshan held a simple wedding, and Junko became Li Shutong's second wife.
19 10, Li Shutong returned from Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts, and Junko Chunshan followed Li Shutong to China without hesitation. Li Shutong didn't take Shu Zi back to Tianjin, but rented a small house in Shanghai for Shu Zi to settle down. Every holiday, Li Shutong will go back to Shanghai from Hangzhou to see Shu Zi.
In the master's concept, believing in Buddhism is a life attitude of believing in great goodness. 19 18, Li Shutong officially became a monk and has been wandering ever since. During his lectures abroad, he also traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, leaving many immortal articles, from which we can read Master Hongyi's Buddhist views. The two articles, A General Introduction to Buddhism and Ten Questions about Buddhism, can be described as classic manuscripts of the master's lectures, and also reflect the Buddhist view in Master Hongyi's mind.
After becoming a monk, he studied jurisprudence intensively and compiled works such as "Four Divisions, Table of Buddhist Monks' Commandments", which enabled Nanshan Legalist School, which was interrupted for 400 years, to inherit and carry forward, leaving the world with inexhaustible spiritual wealth and being honored as the founder of the 11th Legalist School by Buddhists. Mr. Zhao Puchu's evaluation of the master's life is: "There are endless treasures in the eyes of the world, and a full moon shines on the heart of heaven. "
The meaning of life lies not in material satisfaction, the establishment of realistic achievements, but in the completion of ideal personality. For Li Shutong, it has become his highest pursuit to seek the ultimate meaning of life and experience the pure spiritual realm in the way of a yogi.
