Mountain light blows through the new rain;

The river turns at the late tide.

-Zheng Xie inscribed Jiao Shan Natural Temple in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu [Biefeng Temple]

Natural Temple, also called Biefeng Temple, is the place where Zheng Banqiao studied. Zheng Xie once said in the letter of "Qi She Di": "The rivers and rains are clear, the smoke is collected at night, and the flowers and trees are bathed in the DPRK; Charming birds call people, breezes and waves, mountains in Wu Chu, and onion Ming Xiu ... It's a fairyland on earth. " This couplet describes the scenery seen by the river, and it is with the pen of nature that a fairyland on earth is written. The mountains and rivers are personified, and the "mountain light" after the rain is written as "hitting the face". Looking from a distance, after the washing of new rain, beautiful mountain light comes face to face; Looking back, it is called the rising "late tide". Looking down from the middle of the river, the river slowly flows back to the west due to the soaking of the late tide. Couplets are descriptive and analytical, which not only give readers fresh and vivid enjoyment of beauty, but also reveal the causal relationship in natural phenomena: the beauty of mountains is due to the new rain, the river flows backwards and the source is the late tide. Scenery, emotion and reason are integrated in one furnace, which is memorable, and poetry and painting are connected, which can be described as extraordinary and refined.

Bamboo has never been planted here;

A plum blossom can be a teacher.

Sweep bamboo leaves and cook tea;

Chop pine roots and cook vegetable roots.

-Zheng Xie's title is Zhaitang in Tianshi Cave, Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan Province.

This is the author's annual work when he traveled in Sichuan. Zhaitang is the dining hall of Taoist priests. According to the first part, the bamboo poles behind the temple and the swept bamboo leaves are enough to make tea. Qingcheng tea is famous, and the mountain spring is also good water, but the cooking method, Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" said: "Its fire uses charcoal, and the next time it will be paid hard." Here, local materials are used and filled with bamboo leaves, which shows its simplicity. The second couplet says that if you cover the ground with pine shade in front of the mountain and chop up the pine roots, you can cook. Vegetable roots are tasteless, and the ancients said, "Sex will make vegetable roots fragrant." "Zhu Zi Quan Shu Xue Si" said: "Some people can't bite the roots of vegetables, but many people go against their true intentions. Don't quit. " The All-China Federation describes the simple life of Taoist priests in the mountains and points out that practitioners must go through hard experiences. The upper part uses the word "leaf" and the lower part uses the word "root". The word "leaf" is relatively stable with the word "root".

Playing drums in the village;

When the land is the spirit of the workshop.

-Zheng Xie Title Rugao Land Temple in Jiangsu Province

The land god, also known as the country god, is the god who manages a small piece of land in myths and legends. In the old village community, that is, the ancient "shrine", there are generally land temples dedicated to the local social gods, that is, the so-called "land lords". Every year, on the fifth day after beginning of spring and the fifth day after beginning of autumn, villagers go to the Earth Temple to burn incense, burn silks, play drums and flutes, or pray for a bumper harvest or rain. Rugao is in the east of Jiangsu Province today. Dialect proverbs are used in couplets, full of local flavor. If you understand them, children can solve them. At the same time, it also contains some philosophy of life. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. To be an official, you must understand your authority. The last sentence describes the lively atmosphere of the sacrificial day, and the second part shows the villagers' sincere attitude towards the belief that "it is land" and also reflects the rule that land only appears within his jurisdiction. Although the words seem to come out, they are lively and interesting.

If you want to get rid of your troubles, you must become a Buddha;

—— Zheng Xie Title Baiyun Huaguan Room, Guang 'anmen, Beijing

Baiyun Temple is a famous Taoist temple of Quanzhen School outside Guang 'anmen in Beijing. Founded in the Tang Dynasty, it was once called Tianchangguan, Taiji Palace and Changchun Palace, and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. This couplet is signed "Banqiao Taoist". The first part is about reading classics in the Chinese language room, but the method can be widely used in reading. It means that you have to understand the essence of the classic of gastroenterologists, firmly grasp it and practice it, in order to get lifelong benefits. "One or two sentences" is a general statement. There are countless Taoist classics. According to statistics, only the most essential part can be selected and firmly grasped. The second part talks about planting bamboo. Planting six or seven bamboo poles can make the wall clear and diffuse. Taoism pays attention to the realm of "Qing". The doctrine has the theory of silence, and the immortal lives in jade Qing, too clear and clear. The combination of couplets and Taoist environment reminds Taoist priests of the key to reading classics. The word "bite" is very vivid and unique. It is also instructive for ordinary tourists here and how to learn.

Because ... I watched it and thought ... If there was such a scene in Xi's Zheng Banqiao, it would be ... it would be very interesting ... haha.

Zheng Banqiao ruled the salt merchants tactfully.

Zheng Banqiao was one of the famous "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" in Qing Dynasty. Not only did he paint strangely, but sometimes he spoke and acted strangely, which made some villains suffer a lot.

Once, when Zheng Banqiao was in Dongguan, Yangzhou, she saw a woman crying. When asked, it turned out that the salt merchant had moved her ancestral dragon jar because she owed money to the salt merchant. Zheng Banqiao comforted the woman a few words, and then went after the salt merchant who robbed the jar.

In Yangzhou West Street, Zheng Banqiao caught up with the gang, only to see the salt merchants carrying bellies behind them, and their families carrying vats in trousers. Zheng Banqiao bowed forward and asked, "Boss, do you want to sell this jar?" Hearing this, the salt merchant thought, I originally wanted money. Although this jar is good, it is useless to carry it back. I might as well ask for more money to sell it. Quickly answer: "sell it!"

Zheng Banqiao asked, "How much is a catty?"

Hearing this, the salt merchant was surprised. Cans have always been sold only by theory. How can we talk about weight? Look at Zheng Banqiao's clothes carefully. He looks like a bookworm. He thinks this man doesn't understand the market and dares to play with him. He said, "Five yuan a catty."

Zheng Banqiao smiled and said, "Oh, what a bargain. I want it. Send it to my house quickly. "

The salt merchant calculated in his heart that this jar has at least 200 Jin, five yuan a Jin of silver, isn't it one hundred and twenty pieces of silver? Isn't this the same as a big ingot falling from the sky? He was afraid that Zheng Banqiao would be slippery, so he asked, "You won't go back on your word, will you?"

Zheng Banqiao said, "It's a deal!"

So the salt merchant asked his family to carry the jar to the east. Zheng Banqiao pretended to have corns on his feet and couldn't move three inches. The pressure of lifting the cylinder is unbearable, so let him go. Salt merchants are in a hurry to make this deal, and no matter what people can't stand it, they just let Zheng Banqiao sit in the jar and carry it together. At the gate of a temple outside the east gate, Zheng Banqiao stopped, borrowed a small scale from the temple, pointed to the bottom of the tank and said:

"Boss, just knock a piece at the bottom of the cylinder and give it to me!"

Hearing this, the salt merchant flew into a rage: "You bastard, how can a broken jar be sold by the pound?"

Zheng Banqiao asked him unhurriedly, "Well, I said buy by the pound! How can you go back on your word? "

The salt merchant said angrily, "I think what you bought is a jar, which weighs several kilograms."

Zheng Banqiao smiled: "Oh, you are so stupid! I buy a jar, why bother to argue with you! "

Salt merchants angrily wanted to drag Zheng Banqiao to trial. Zheng Banqiao said casually, "I'm not afraid to go to court with you!"

At this time, the monks in the temple came out. After listening to the story, everyone said that the salt merchant was wrong. At first, I said to sell by the catty, but I didn't say to buy it all. Since it is out of the question, the cylinder can still be carried.

The salt merchant ate a rebuff and had to let his family carry the jar away, but the two men didn't even have the strength. The monk made another round and persuaded the salt merchant to sell it. At this time, the salt merchants were at their wit's end, so they had to sell them to Zheng Banqiao for two pieces of silver at the price of top debt. Zheng Banqiao asked them to take it back to the woman's house. The salt merchant was ashamed and angry when he saw it. He wasted a day, spent a lot of effort, and the benefits didn't drop at all.
