White waves rise, waves hit the sky, mountains break, and thunder winds rest.
After the dark clouds cleared, Zhu Zhu was blowing cloud buds, Hai Huai was in full bloom, and the stars and the moon were spitting.
This couplet was written by Lin Zijue in Ming Dynasty, and is now reprinted by Lu Youguang 199 1, a famous calligrapher in Guangdong Province. There is still a history about this couplet.
Legend has it that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a clever boy named Lin Zijue in Zengcheng. His parents died when he was a child, and he lived with his grandfather. Grandfather loves Zijue and has taught him to read and write since he was a child. Lin Zijue is smart and studious, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has made many friends. He lives freely and likes to write poems and couplets for others. He is known as a gifted scholar in Zengcheng.
Lin Zijue/KLOC-February, 2004, the polo birthday of Nanhai Temple in the east of Guangzhou was held as scheduled. Lin Zijue's grandfather made an appointment with several villagers, rented a boat and went to Nanhai Temple to watch polo. Lin Zijiao also went with him.
Polo's birthday was very lively, and everyone had a good time, especially Lin Zijiao. Pay special attention to the poetry plaque in the temple, and study the couplets and poems of various talented people in Zhangqiu Poetry Society. At noon, the tide of Boluo River rises slowly, and the boat can return to Zengcheng with the ebb tide. At this time, Lin Zijiao stood in front of the temple and found that there was no couplet in front of Jin Bi's splendid temple. Facing the waves in front of the temple, he couldn't help but feel itchy and poetic, so he picked up half a piece of underground charcoal (solid charcoal for burning pigs and worshipping gods) and wrote a couplet on the wall on the left side of the gate:
"White waves rise, waves hit the sky, mountains break, and thunder winds rest."
I had just finished the first part of the book, but before I could finish the second part, my grandfather urged me to get on the boat, and everyone who came with me was waiting for him. Lin Zijiao left his charcoal and went aboard with his grandfather to his hometown, Shangjing Village.
Lin Zijue's couplets written on the wall were seen by the abbot of Guang Hai Temple at that time and thought to be good couplets, so they were written on the board and hung on the left side of the head door. Put an empty board on the right and let others continue to connect.
12 years later, 26-year-old Lin Zijue traveled in polo with his friends again. See temple front door hanging on the left when he 14 years old couplets, hanging on the right side of an empty board, meaning that no one is right, so Lin Zijiao picked up charcoal and wrote the bottom allied:
"After the dark clouds go, the clouds sprout, and Hai Huai spits the stars and the moon."
Later, the temple asked someone to write the correct couplet on the board, which became the famous couplet of Nanhai Temple.
As soon as this bottom line came out, it immediately shocked Lingnan Shilin. A bunch of scholars think that Nanhai Temple is a national temple worshipped by the imperial courts in previous dynasties. It is really insulting to use "white body"-that is, the works of unknown people! Ignorant teenager, no one in Lingnan deceives me?
Others accused the couplets of scribbling, and used the word "wind" at the end of the previous paragraph, which did not conform to the law of couplets. But fortunately, some people think that "white waves" are neat and imposing on "dark clouds" and "thunder winds" are imposing on "stars and moons", so it is not necessary to stick to flat and small, so the Federation has been preserved.
This couplet is hung on the gate of Nanhai Temple. Since then, the wind and rain have changed and never changed. This crane is 400 years.
Two drafts are easy to change, but Zhang Zhidong can't change Lin Meng.
According to legend, Zhang Zhidong wanted to replace the couplets engraved on the temple gate, but both drafts could not beat the old couplets and had to give up.
