1. This sentence is a couplet written by Feng Zikai to Nanputuo Yangzhengyuan: "It should be noted that all appearances are not appearances, and the ruthless can be made sentimental."
2. Personally, I feel that the artistic conception of this poem is different from the artistic conception of "A dream of Red Mansions", "When a fake is true, it is also false, and when there is nothing, there is nothing.", but the feeling is the same. It also has some hints of Buddhist Zen.
3. He said it well in "Master Hongyi and I": I collected a poem from the Tang Dynasty: "It must be known that all appearances are not appearances, and you can make all the ruthless and sentimental" and wrote a poem. I think it is very appropriate that this couplet is hung in the Buddhist Yangzhengyuan founded by Master Hongyi. Because the first couplet talks about Buddhist scriptures and the second couplet talks about art, it can well show that Master Hongyi has elevated the meaning from art to religion. The artist sees the flowers smiling, hears the birds chirping, raises a glass to the bright moon, opens the door to welcome the white clouds, can see nature as a human being, and can turn the ruthless into the sentient. This is the realm of "things and I are one". Going one step further, it is the true meaning of Buddhism that "all phenomena come from the heart" and "all appearances are not appearances".
4. Therefore, the highest point of art is connected with religion. The greatest artist once said: "A silent poem has not a word, an invisible painting has not a stroke." It can be seen that reciting poems and describing pictures, red and green, are nothing more than trivial skills and the surface of art. The spirit of art is the true spirit of art. It's religious. The above is for reference.
