① Suffering and Emptiness: Buddhism believes that birth, old age, illness and death are the four sufferings, and there is also a saying that "the four major elements are empty". "Vimalakirti Sutra Disciple Pin": "The five-feeling yin hole reaches nothingness, which is the meaning of suffering; all dharmas have nothing in the end, which is the meaning of emptiness." ② The only word on the sword head: "Zhuangzi Zeyang": "Husband Those who blow the flute still make a sound; those who blow the sword's head only make a sound." This means that blowing the flute can make a loud sound, but blowing through the small hole in the sword ring can only make a small sound.
③Jiaogu: Burnt millet. According to the "Vimalakirti Sutra: Audience's Life Products": "Like scorched grain buds, like stone daughters." Ying: ears with awns. The author here is saying that it is the duty of a monk to seek emptiness and cessation, and it is nothing surprising or novel.
④ Wei Bing: refers to the gorgeous literary talent. The meaning of these two sentences is: As a monk, why do you pursue perfection in the art of poetry like us lay people?
⑤ These two sentences praise Shen Liaozi for his well-written poems.
⑥Retreat: Han Yu’s character is retreat. Han Yu once wrote an article "Preface to the Master Gao Xian", praising Zhang Xu's cursive calligraphy: "In the past, Zhang Xu was good at cursive calligraphy, but he could not master other skills. He was happy, angry and embarrassed, sad and joyful, resentful and longing, drunk, bored and uneven, and moved. In the heart, it must be written in cursive script... Therefore, the changes in the preface are like ghosts and gods, and they will be famous for the rest of their lives." These four sentences mean that the reason why Zhang Xu's cursive script is divine is because of the universe. All senses are caused by moving in the center.
⑦Buddha people: monks.
⑧The body is like a well: It is a metaphor for the silence of the mind and no reflection on the world. This is what Gao Xian said. Still in the "Preface to Master Gao Xian", Han Yu also said: "Master Xian now transforms into a pagoda, and after death and life, the outer glue is untied. This is his heart, and he will be indifferent and have nothing to do; he will be indifferent to the world. Addicted to. When indifference and indifference meet, decadence and despair, and the collapse is beyond control, then it is like nothing in the book? "What this means is that as a monk, Gao Xian has an indifferent heart and is "heroic" in his affairs. How can one reach Zhang Xu’s level? There seems to be a subtle hint behind the words, and the language context follows "retreat".
⑨ Otherwise: it is a denial of the aforementioned saying that Gao Xian's calligraphy art is not high because he cannot express his "heroic" spirit. Just like the beauty of Shen Liazi's poems, it is not As if the dream came to nothing, I switched from calligraphy to poetry.
⑩The meaning of these two sentences is: precisely because of tranquility, one can clearly understand all movements; precisely because of emptiness, one can accommodate all things. Appreciation of "Song Shen Liaoshi"
Based on the purpose of Master Gao Xian's cursive writing, he discusses poetry in reverse, and finally implements the idea that "poetry and method do not interfere with each other", expressing the relationship between Zen and poetry. understanding of the relationship between. Generally speaking, Zen Buddhism requires not to establish words. Poetry is the art of language, and there is a big difference between the two. But in artistic practice, poets and critics discovered the similarities between them. Therefore, the Song Dynasty people said in Volume 29 of "The First Collection of Guxi Jushi" "With Li Quyan": "There is no difference between talking about Zen and writing poetry." Of course, we must explain the "no difference" between the two. It is not easy to find out, but there are still clues to be found. For example, both Zen and poetry focus on the reflection of the subjective spirit. Zen certainly states that "when the mind arises, all kinds of dharmas arise, and when the mind dies, all kinds of dharmas perish." Poetry also declares that "all scenery and language are words of love." Therefore, all things are driven to me. . Therefore, Shaosong of the Southern Song Dynasty said in "Preface to the Poems of Asia Yu Jiang and Zhejiang": "Zen is the wisdom of the mind; poetry is the ambition of the mind.
Where wisdom is, Zen is the form; where ambition is, poetry is the form. "In addition, the unpredictability of Zen meditation and poetic thinking, and the illogicality of Zen language and poetry (some works that pursue "direct search" are exceptions) are quite similar. Zen learning flourished in the Song Dynasty and became popular among scholar-bureaucrats. Therefore, "learning poetry is like learning Zen" became a temporary trend. From a temporal perspective, Su Shi's poem can be said to be the first to become popular. Later, Yan Yu and other people used Zen to describe poetry, distinguishing Zongcheng and others. , are all without influence.
