Fairy and scholar fell in love at first sight, two of a kind got married immediately. This love story is neat and unique, refreshing and very beautiful. What attracts me most is the plot of Wu Cailuan copying books to live.
Xiao Wen, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, visited the Western Hills during the Mid-Autumn Festival and met a gentle and graceful girl named Cai Luan. They got married at first sight. However, despite Xiao Wen's profound knowledge, his family is extremely poor. In order to make a living, Cai Luan makes a copy of Tang Yun and sells it every day.
Wu Cailuan was a real person, a calligrapher and Taoist in the Tang Dynasty, who was good at calligraphy and poetry.
Although her "Tang Yun" is small and dense, it varies in size; But the handwriting is fine and clear, which is quite obvious; Cloth white density is uneven and orderly. So "Xuan He Shu Pu"? Volume five said, "Although calligraphy and painting are small, they are more than enough, and they are all different from ordinary people's pens, so there should be a different style in fairy products." *** 13 volume of Tang Yun, including color scrolls, paper, ink and the seal of "Xuanhe", has been kept in the National Palace Museum in Taipei after several wars.
Tang Yun is a revised edition of Qieyun, but the original book has been lost. At that time, rhyming books were equivalent to dictionaries and dictionaries, because they added notes to rhyming words, and all the quotations had sources. )
Obviously, Wu Cailuan is a real person. Why do so many people think she is a fairy? A poem "Song" written by her is included in 863 volumes of the whole Tang poetry: "If you can accompany the altar, drive Cai Feng with wenxiao. Yaotai has its own embroidery and curtains, and is not afraid of snow or frost. There is a small preface before the poem: "Zhong Ling Xishan Pavilion is full of women in mid-autumn tour. In the last years of Taihe, there was a scholar, Xiao Wen, who saw it wonderfully. I hope I can't go. It's another folk song. When the Song Dynasty passed through the big pine path, Anmeng Mountain was in danger. Life creeps and love goes to the extreme. Suddenly there was a storm, and a fairy boy praised the sky and said,' Wu Cailuan has selfish desires and married the people for a while.' Naihe Sheng went down the mountain and returned to Songling. 」
Here, Cai Luan launched a rich imagination, imagining herself flying to Sendai, playing colorful bamboo flutes, riding colorful birds, and wearing embroidered cotton-padded jackets, they came to Zhang Jia where immortals lived. Now that you are immortal, what are you afraid of?
The "Immortal Altar", "Zhang Jia" and "embroidered mattress" in the poem are easily reminiscent of the scene where fairies in heaven and scholars on earth spend the night together. Pei Qian, the originator of Tang legendary literature, interprets this story, but his title is that it is from a new perspective. What was Cai Luan like when Xiao Wen met him? "Orchid flowers, jewelry is not bright, the clouds are lonely, the moon is cold. A beautiful woman with refined temperament appeared in front of her eyes and read two poems: "If you can accompany the altar, take Xiao Wen as the driver. "Qiongtai has its own embroidered mattress and tent, which is not afraid of snow and frost." Here, it naturally becomes the fairy love between immortals and scholars.
As a Taoist, Wu Cailuan is not only full of rich imagination, but also often shows great insight in her heart. She wrote three poems of the female crown: "My heart is like a frozen jade pot, which can't be invaded by any dust, but I don't care about the jade pot, and the Yao platform goes straight to the highest place." "It's no use arguing about humiliation. Floating clouds don't hinder the bright moon, you can call Ma Niu, and you are willing to let him understand. " "Living in the city, living in the mountains, everything is idle in the puppet field. A virtual mustard seed is hidden, and a thousand words can always be deleted. 」
It simply shows her spotless, noble, broad-minded and humble attitude towards life, and also reveals her thorough understanding of Buddhism and Taoism. "How can ask you? The heart is far from being self-centered. Living in a bustling city, you can still live freely. This is a portrayal of Wu Cailuan's life, but it is the extravagant hope of our generation.
What's the final outcome? "The whole tang poetry to continue? Volume 57 contains Wu Cailuan's poem "Introduction to Wang Yueshan at one point and two points". The number of people fled today, and the cigarettes should be returned. The flute should be dewy, and the crane wings should face the clouds. A fairy medicine can nourish the face. 」
Later, the two rode tigers into Wang Yue and ascended to heaven, each riding a tiger fairy, which can be described as a real "fairy couple."
Later generations endowed Wu Cailuan, a female calligrapher, with many beautiful legends. Of course, what moved me most was a couple in two of a kind, who were able to get through the hard times hand in hand and then enjoy the little beauty of life together when the days were getting better.
