You want a couplet
The dew is cold, the clouds are leisurely, the golden osmanthus is fragrant, the famous garden of the Moon Palace is ancient, and the bamboos are full of tranquility

There is nothing more important than the word "karma" in this world. Looking back on the Bingyin year of the last century, I was busy studying at sea. Taking advantage of the public expense to sketch, I visited forty-three scenic spots in Shanghai, large and small. Later, because my studies were over, only Songjiang Square Pagoda and Nanxiang Ancient Park were left. Several places such as Yiyuan and Fuxing Island can only be left to be fascinated in dreams. In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly twenty years, and the vicissitudes of the world can be seen clearly.
Destiny is fate after all, although this fate comes a little late. No, when another sunny Sunday comes, the trip to Nanxiang Guyi Garden finally comes to an end. At around ten o'clock in the morning, I got on the 522 bus on Zhongshan North Road and arrived at Nanxiang Ancient Town, located in the northwest suburb of Shanghai, half an hour later. When I got out of the car, I found that I didn’t bring a pen and paper. It’s funny to think that I spent all day playing with the mouse, and the “calligrapher” had given up his pen. What if there were some wonderful couplets in Guyi Garden and he didn’t copy them down? regret? So, I quickly bought pen and paper at the Xinhua Bookstore on the roadside before returning to the entrance of the park. At this moment, I was already hungry. In order to avoid making the same mistake as my last "pure heart trip", I followed the instructions from the bookstore aunt and went to the "most authentic" Guyi Garden Restaurant to taste the famous Nanxiang Xiaolong in Jiangnan. , Sure enough, "Ginger is spicy when you are old." Although some of the service styles left over from the state-owned stores are not complimentable, the crab noodle dumplings for 10 yuan per serving and the shrimp crackers and seaweed soup for 2 yuan per serving are laughable. Have a great time! The restaurant didn't provide napkins, and I didn't bring any with me. I could only walk out of the restaurant with an ungreased mouth. When I looked back, I saw a billboard that read: Nanxiang Xiaolong, started in the 10th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, originated from Guyi Garden in Shanghai. Do not tie the boat. The skin is thin, the juice is fresh, the meat is tender, and the filling is rich. It is truly worthy of its name!
Come out of the restaurant and walk to the east, where you will find the famous Ming Dynasty garden Guyi Garden. After spending 12 yuan to buy a ticket and a tour guide map, I entered the Guyi Garden, which is named after the meaning of "Green Bamboo Yiyi". The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of red-crowned crane sculptures spreading their wings and about to take flight. Looking around, there are layers of greenery; two paths line the left and right, and one of the signboards reads "Yiye Hall". Having fun in the countryside is the most fun thing to do, so I immediately went there through the secluded area. Along the way, there are towering ancient trees everywhere, including cypress trees, maple poplars, and even locust trees that are more than 470 years old. It feels good to be close to the ancient trees. Yuan Fei Yu Yue Pavilion read couplets and looked at the water view; sat alone in the secluded viewing pavilion and enjoyed the natural oxygen bar; passed the Spring Algae Hall, passed the Liudai Pavilion, and bought a cotton and linen woven fabric in a small shop in Tanzhuzhuang. , a cloth bag embellished with golden auspicious ancient characters, a small pendant with miniature wooden fish hanging on it, a picture album of "Guyi Garden" and a bamboo ear spoon. What I like most is a bamboo whistle that can imitate the singing of birds. , touch the water and blow it, it can be tactful, and I can see the clumsiness of not being good at verbal skills, and it makes me relive the same scene by the West Lake when I was a child. Then we went to the Weiyin Pavilion, where a rope kept the audience out. Since they couldn't trespass, that was all. Further to the southeast is the Plum Blossom Hall. The couplets on both sides of the door make me feel very warm: the pool hall is quiet and interesting, and the plum blossoms are fragrant in the cold place; it is the handiwork of the late Chen Congzhou, the master of garden architecture art. Reading the book and thinking about people, I couldn't help but recall the time when I and the two pavilion masters Wuji and Canghai paid a visit to Mr. Zhou in the Zi room of Tongji University. At that time, although Mr. Chen had suffered two strokes, he still signed the "Shuo Shuo" with trembling smiles. "Garden" and other signed copies make me feel deeply. Today, this man has passed away, but his spirit as a person and as an artist will always remain in the hearts of our descendants.
Farewell to the Plum Blossom Hall and move forward, walking on the unique flower-stone path, crossing the stele corridor, and arriving at the Songhe Garden in front of Heshouxuan. Looking from a distance, in the center of the island surrounded by water on three sides, several green pines stand proudly, and two pairs of cranes are either doing feathers, playing in the water, pecking, or chirping. Looking closer, it is also A sculpture that doesn't move. As the tourists on the edge exclaimed, "It's true!", I followed the sound and saw a fairy-like red-crowned crane staggering around, mumbling something incomprehensible. It’s no wonder that I have been trapped on this isolated island for many years, spending all my time with peacocks and rabbits (for some reason, in addition to Brother Crane, I also let those two people roam free), although I don’t have to worry about three meals a day (there is a park by the water for them). A bamboo basket, I think I put some fish and shrimps in it), but unfortunately Lin Chushi has gone, and it is difficult to find a close friend, so I have lost the spirit of soaring into the sky.
What a shame, what a shame! What's more, people who came to the garden took this fairy treasure for something. They called the crane like a chicken pecking at rice, and applauded loudly in a way that made the peacock open its tail, which made the crane laugh and cry.
After leaving the place of sadness, I suddenly felt enlightened. It turned out that I was in the Qingqing Garden full of eyes. Compared with the Bamboo Forest in Moganshan and the Big Bamboo Sea in Anji, this place has a different style, which is as poetic as a gathering of wise men. In addition to the familiar light bamboo, purple bamboo, Ruo bamboo and Phoenix tail bamboo, there are also arrow bamboos. According to records, there are more than 30 kinds of bamboo in Guyi Garden, such as bamboo, Japanese bamboo, yellow ancient bamboo and Xiaoqin silk bamboo. Walking in this bamboo forest that looks like it was performed by many famous writers such as Wen Tong, Banqiao, Chang Shuo, Zuoying, etc., listening to the "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" from the speakers strategically placed among the stones on the roadside, I felt so relaxed just now My mood suddenly became sad, and the weeping sound of the erhu seemed to be pouring out a series of long-lasting dusty past events, making people sigh.
After walking for a long time, I felt a little tired, and I was the only one on the bamboo path leading to the secluded place, so I simply found a stone bench and closed my eyes to the warm spring day to relax. Suddenly, bursts of joyous singing and laughter came from not far away. It turned out to be a group of students playing among the smiling peach blossoms in front of the Gentleman Hall. "Peach Blossoms! Cherry Blossoms!!" Facing the red and white clusters of flowers blooming quietly, the young boy shouted. The girls quarreled, and their laughter was contagious. "Can you take a group photo for us?" I took the camera and pressed the shutter, recording the most unforgettable scene in the world. As the laughter of the students faded away, I looked up at the Junzi Hall. Weng Kaiyun's couplet was wonderfully written:
The famous garden is full of ancient meanings, and the bamboos are full of tranquility. But no matter how beautiful the famous garden is, it cannot compete with youth.
More than an hour has passed since I entered the park with the sun shining brightly at noon. I thought of going somewhere else, so I started to look around at the flowers. So, I walked across the bridge from Hefeng Bamboo Dew Pavilion along the lake to Guishan Mountain. I climbed to the top of the mountain to pay homage to the Nine Sons of the Dragon, the Bixi Shougui. Then I turned back to the wisteria trellis to Mingxuan, and then went to the Mingxuan Temple with the inscription "When the moon comes, the ground is filled with water. In the South Pavilion of "Clouds Rises from the Sky Mountain", I saw the Nanxiang wall with relief sculptures of cranes. On a stone tablet in the water, I copied the thought-provoking "The white crane flies south and never returns, but the original remains are in the name." "Basically, the poor descendants of Prince Kong will enjoy two seasons of continuous cultivation." Then, after crossing the Jiuqu Bridge, we came to the "Huayan" Yuanyang Lake in Guyi Garden. There was no Yuanyang, but a man in a red shirt was rowing with his girlfriend. He struggled to tear away the thorns in the water that caught the wooden paddle, and walked side by side through the waves. The footage is very touching. Finally, after passing the Xiangjiao Pavilion commemorating the anti-Japanese war, and boarding the "Untied Boat" by the Playing Goose Pond, today's entertainment has reached its peak. What is "not tied"? It is a stone boat. It was originally the calligraphy and painting boat of the owner of the garden. Since there was no cable to tie it to, Zhu Zhishan in the Ming Dynasty inscribed "Not to tie the boat", so it is commonly called Zhizhou or dry boat. In fact, it is also a sentimental boat. In Tang Bai Juyi's poem, it goes: Aspirations in life are tied up and not free; once they return to the Wei River, they are like a boat without a tie. All these fully express the old-time literati's negative and reclusive thoughts.
After watching "The Untied Boat", I laughed and remembered that when I entered the park just now, I found out that there is still Yunxiang Temple in Nanxiang, which was built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. So I took advantage of the excitement to pursue it and walked through the old houses on both sides. Street, westbound until you reach Yunxiang. When I arrived at the gate of the temple, I took out the Guyi Garden ticket with the words "With this coupon, you can enter Yunxiang Temple for free to offer incense." Unexpectedly, the doorman refused to acknowledge the payment and argued that it would not count if the coupon was torn off, so he had no choice but to buy it again. Only after getting the fragrant flower ticket can I enter. The buildings in the temple are indeed majestic, and there are still large-scale construction projects around it. Unfortunately, it feels too new, and the ancient meaning is gone. It cannot seduce a little bit of nostalgia. The only thing that can still witness the history of the thousand-year-old temple is The two ancient brick pagodas on the white road in the east of the temple watch the growing incense with cold eyes day after day and year after year.
Not only is this not the case, this is all I know
