Huagang Watching Fish, the imperial script of Kangxi, is the West Lake in Hangzhou. There should be four divisions of water under the ancient word fish. Kangxi wrote the inscription, just to write four waters. Suddenly, he thought that there were four points under the word fish, and the four points represented fire. The fish is roasted under the fire. Can the fish still live? Kangxi believed in Buddhism and had the virtue of being good at life, so he changed the four-part water under the word fish into three-part water to let the fish swim in the lake and live freely.
The "romantic" inscription in Pingshantang, daming temple, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province can be said to be the most philosophical "wrong" inscription. This is a poem written by Liu Kun in Qing Dynasty to commemorate Ouyang Xiu's administration in Yangzhou. It is said that Ouyang Xiu was very romantic when he was a satrap in Yangzhou, which can be said to be the so-called romantic satrap. However, Liu Kun deliberately wrote fewer words on the word "romantic" and more words on the word "now", meaning "less romantic and more practical". It can be said that it is extremely philosophical.
Such an interesting inscription, but have you ever seen anyone dare to play this word game in front of Confucius? But he dared.
Who is Confucius, the founder of China's Confucianism, can be said to be the granddaddy of all scholars. Qufu, Shandong Province, as the hometown of Confucius, built these three caves to show people's respect and commemoration of Confucius. Among them, Confucius received inscriptions from countless emperors. To say the most famous is the couplet written by Ji Xiaolan, a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty, to Confucius' door, "On the same day as the country, it is rich and glorious, an old moral saint."
After careful observation, we will find that there are some minor problems with the characters and seals written by college students. It doesn't cover the big characters of Fu, but the big characters in the middle dogma have been pulled over. Did the college students write wrong words? In fact, some people explain it this way, which means that "wealth is headless and articles are sky-high", which just shows the respect of college students for Confucius.
But is this really the case? If Ji Xiaolan was intentional, then anyone who had a little knowledge and could read a few words would find two typos at Confucius' door when communication technology was underdeveloped at that time. In order to answer questions, Ji Xiaolan had to stand at the door of Confucius every day and explain them one by one, just like a tour guide now. Isn't it troublesome? I think that's the point. These two meaningful typos, I am afraid that Kyrgyzstan will refuse for fear of trouble.
China's culture is profound and profound, which is reflected in the types of Chinese characters. The same word is written differently in different periods and even in the same dynasty. As for the word "fu", there are cursive scripts of Xu Wei, Sun Wei and others, but there is no word "fu" on the head. There are Tang Yin and Miffy in the running script. Wen Zhiming and others have no such thing as riches and honour, and Liu Gongquan, Ikeno Taiga, Pei Xiu, Gao Zhenbei and others have no such thing as regular script. There are so many examples of calligraphers, there must be one or two calligraphers you have heard of. Similarly, there are many ways to write Zhang Zi, not just the one we see now. For example, in the picture below, there is a field in the middle of many sheets instead of a day. After all, China has such a long history that Chinese characters have undergone many changes before the simplified Chinese characters we use now.
Therefore, Ji Daxue didn't make a mistake or intentionally, but people used that font, but we didn't know it. In order to attract tourists, the tour guide deliberately created allusions, so he deliberately made up such a statement. This is just like the current Chinese reading questions, which simply add so much emotion to the author and ask some questions that the author doesn't know. Maybe you should let Ji Xiaolan explain. He didn't know there were so many moral meanings here.
