The world's best running script "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" turns out to be here
A brief account of Yunmen
Yunmen calligraphy resort has always been valued by literati, and its scenery The first place of interest is in Yuezhong. People in the Tang Dynasty had a saying: "Thousands of clouds can be seen across the mountain". Yunmen Temple was originally the residence of Prince Zhongshu. It is said that in the third year of Yixi of Jin Dynasty (407), five-colored auspicious clouds were seen. Emperor An ordered the temple to be built and named it Yunmen Temple. The green peaks in front of the temple stand like screens. Autumn is like a thousand heavy weights and as bright as mattress embroidery. Ruoye River passes around the gate; Qinwang Mountain is on the back.
We know that Yunmen is due to the "Lanting Preface". Wang Xizhi wrote the "Lanting Preface" in Shanyin Lanting, which is known to the world, but few people know that Yunmen in Kuaiji is where the "Lanting Preface" was lost. Among the romance stories of the Tang Dynasty is the chapter "Preface to the Lost Orchid Pavilion in Yunmen". The story goes: Monk Zhiyong is the seventh generation grandson of Wang Xizhi and a descendant of Wang Hui (the fifth son of Wang Xizhi). Together with his brother Xiaobin (Huixin), the young man gave up secular life and entered Taoism at Jiaxiang Temple in Qinwangshan Mountain. He is proficient in the Prajna Lotus Sutras, loves Zen meditation, rarely engages in worldly matters, and is famous for his good books. Zhiyong lived in Yongxin Temple (Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty valued Zhiyong and Zhixin and named it Yongxin Temple, that is, Yunmen Temple.) The book on the pavilion had been posted for more than 30 years, and the writing was removed and a big bamboo pen was placed. There was a stone as big as five 簏s, so I took it and named it "Tuibi Tomb". People who come to ask for letters or questions are like the market. The door where they live is punctured and wrapped with iron leaves, which is called the "iron door". Famous calligraphers among his disciples include Zhiguo, Shishu, Shite, Biancai, Yu Shinan, etc. Zhiyong's major contributions in the history of Chinese calligraphy art are in two aspects: firstly, he developed the purpose of "Eight Methods of Yongzi" and became a master scholar in the Sui and Tang Dynasties; secondly, he compiled the "Thousand-Character Classic" and opened the way for future calligraphers to write the "Thousand-Character Classic". wind. Eight hundred copies of Zhiyong's "Thousand-Character Essay" written in cursive script were given to each temple in eastern Zhejiang for people to write them, and later became an enlightenment book for children in my country. Mi Fu, a calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, said that the "Thousand Character Essay" written by Zhiyong was "beautiful, round and vigorous, with all aspects covered". Zhiyong's name means "acquiring the word Yong will increase wisdom". He is indeed an outstanding monk calligrapher in our country. He also made his own inscriptions, so he stopped writing books. Life span is one hundred and two years. After Zhiyong's death, "Lanting Preface" was passed down to Bencai. In his later years, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty loved calligraphy, especially calligraphy. He has collected a lot of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and stickers, but "Lanting Preface" has only been heard of his name but not seen, so it has reached the level of covet. Later, he learned that "Lanting Preface" was in the hands of Biancai, so he issued an order to order Biancai to go to Beijing to serve in the Taoist inner court. He was given many gifts and wanted to trick Biancai into giving his calligraphy treasure. Biancai had already been mentally prepared. He wrote in the poem "Going to Taizong's Call":
The clouds are close to Songguan, and the Zen room is empty and green.
Even if the court ministers are noble, they are as competitive as the heart and the white clouds.
After arriving in Beijing, Biancai insisted that the "Lanting Preface" had been lost in the chaos and his whereabouts were unknown. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to release him back to Yuezhong. Unwilling to give up, Taizong once again ordered Biancai to go to Beijing and ask again about the whereabouts of "Lanting Preface". This happened three times. It is recorded in "Zhi Shu" that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty summoned Biancai three times to question him about the whereabouts of his "Lanting Tie".
Shang Shu’s right servant Shefang Xuanling saw that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was eager to seek the treasure, so he recommended Xiao Yi, the supervisor, to go to Vietnam to find out the whereabouts of the calligraphy treasure. Xiao Yi, whose real name was Shi Yi, was the great-grandson of Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan. He was talented and resourceful. After accepting the wishes of Emperor Tai Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, he came to Yuezhou with the Miscellaneous Notes and Three Numbers of Two Kings and Three Numbers. He pretended to be a scholar from Shandong and went to Yunmen. Entering the temple at dusk, I walked around the corridor to view the murals. I passed by the Biancai Courtyard, where I could see Biancai Yi in the distance. After the cold and warm weather had passed, we were able to talk easily. As we went into the room and talked about literature and history, we got along well, so we stayed overnight that day. When it comes to calligraphy, Xiao said: "Er Wang Kai calligraphy has been taught to my disciples for a long time, and my disciples came here to study it when they were young, and now they have several calligraphies to follow." Biancai happily said: "Come tomorrow and compare." Yi went as expected and published his book to show his talent. The expert who discerns talents and is familiar with it said: This is what it is, but it is not good and good. There is an authentic work of poor Taoism, which is quite common. Yi asked what post? Biancai said: Lanting. Yi pretended to smile and said, "Several scriptures have been separated randomly. How can the authentic ones be there? It must be a fake ear that rings on the couch?" So Biancai told the truth and said: "We can see tomorrow." When the wings arrived, the discerning talent came out from the upper sill of the roof beam. When Yi saw it, he refuted Xia Zhi and said: "The result is that the book is ringing on the couch." After Biancai showed his wings to "Lanting", he no longer placed it on the beam sill. He also left the posts of the two kings of Xiaoyi among several cases. When I was more than eighty years old, I studied under the window several times a day. Now that we have gone back and forth with Yi, Brother Tong and others no longer have any suspicion.
Xin Qiji once served as the governor of eastern Zhejiang and climbed Qinwang Mountain from behind Yunmen. Write " ".
In the Song Dynasty, Yunmen was divided into six temples: Guangxiao, Xiansheng, Yongxi, Puji, Mingjue and Yunmen. The scale of its temple was described by Lu You in Yunmen's "Shoushengyuan Ji": "Yunmen Temple has been famous all over the world since the Jin and Tang Dynasties. The old man said that in the old days, when it was in its prime, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and buildings collapsed repeatedly, leaning on rocks and crossing ravines. Those who live there forget to grow old, and those who live here forget to return home. Visitors are tired all day long, and they often cannot get out. Even though the people in the temple may not be together for ten months, there will be repairs in the future, and the ruins still exist today. .
Liu Bowen lived in Yunmen for many days in the Ming Dynasty and left a large number of poems. "Travel to Yunmen", "From Yunfeng to the Qingyuan Tower of Puji", "From Puji to Mingjue Temple to Shenju", "Residence in the Jingshe" and "The Source of Living Water" were written in this. Zhang Yuanji, the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote five volumes of "Yunmen Zhilue". The existing "Recruiting for the Repair of the Monuments at Yunmen Temple" was written by Wang Siren, a patriotic writer from Shaoxing in the late Ming Dynasty, and executed by Fan Yunlin from Suzhou. Under the stele, there are inscriptions and postscripts by Dong Qichang, Chen Jiru and Dong Xiangmeng, which are integrated with the inscription above. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, ten people including Chen Hongshou and Qi Zhijia became monks in Yunmen Temple and formed the Shizi Society.
