Goose Pond Chi Pan is a "pure land" of about 40 square meters paved with stones. There is a triangular tablet pavilion on the west side of the original, in which two cursive characters "Goose Pond" are engraved. The stele was taken from East Lake, with a height of1.93m, a width of 0.86m and a thickness of 0.28m.. ..
According to legend, these two sentences were written by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.
According to legend, one day, Wang Xizhi was writing the word "goose pond". Just after writing the word "goose", suddenly a minister came with an imperial edict.
Wang Xizhi had to stop and go out to take orders. Wang Xianzhi saw his father's handwriting beside him. He is also a famous calligrapher. He saw that his father had only written a word "goose", so he picked up a pen and wrote another word "pool".
The two words are so similar and harmonious that father and son combine to form an eternal story.
Wang Xizhi is famous for loving geese. According to legend, he specially built a pond to raise geese in Lanting, and later named it "Goose Pond" and built a pavilion next to the pond.
The water in the goose pond is clear and blue, and several white geese are playing on the water. On the left side of the pond is a stone triangle goose pond pavilion with a special style. The water in the pool is clear and blue, and white geese play in the water, telling the legend of Wang Xizhi's love, raising and writing about geese.
Lanting has Shangliu Pavilion. Shangliu Pavilion is three rooms wide and surrounded by corridors. In front of the pavilion is a winding meandering water with a wooden fossil engraved with the words "meandering water flows" in the middle.
These four words are exactly the scenes described in Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion. "There are mountains here, bamboo forests are cultivated in bamboo forests, and there are clear streams, which are reflected from left to right, thinking that the flow is winding."
At that time, Wang Xizhi * * * invited 42 famous scholars to practice in Jiyalanting. They were sitting on the bank of Qushui, and someone put a glass of wine on the upstream of Qushui. Glass floats with water under the support of lotus leaves. Whoever stops, he has to write a poem, and if he can't do it, he will be fined three cups.
Later, every year, many scholars like to come here to imitate Wang Xizhi and Lanting Ji Ya, drinking and writing poems. Every year, the Calligraphy Festival will hold an elegant gathering here. Shangliu Pavilion was built to commemorate the activity of "boating in Qushui".
According to the custom of the ancients to repair coffins, they should be washed in water on the first day of the third month of the lunar calendar to eliminate the ominous. At the water's edge of Qushui, the poet released a cup full of wine from the upper reaches of Qushui and let it drift down the water. Whoever flows to it will drink the cup and write poems in the stream.
At that time, people put these poems together and became Preface to Lanting Collection. Wang Xizhi wrote a preface for this purpose, namely "Preface to Lanting Collection".
Because the Preface to Lanting is so famous, Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting is seldom noticed. In fact, there are many similarities between the ideas expressed in poetry articles and the scenes described, which can be invented by each other.
Among them, Six Poems of Lanting is the most famous, and the third one is the most successful. This poem writes:
Three spring group products, good reason.
Look up at the blue sky and overlook the clear water bank.
There is no embarrassing view, and it is reasonable and self-sufficient.
Great achievements are made in nature and everything is different.
Although the sound of the combination is uneven, it is nothing new to me.
The "mass goods" in the poem refers to Vientiane. The weather is pleasant, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind is sunny. Poets can naturally send their feelings to the mountains and rivers and talk about their intimate feelings. The sentence "What makes you happy" writes a mysterious contract between man and nature, shows the connection between man and external things, and is full of philosophy.
At the same time, it leads to the following, which is the object of "causing" and the content of "delivering". Looking up at the clear sky without me in Wan Li, bowing to the glittering and translucent winding waterfront.
The poet's temperament is full of everything, and everything is full of vitality, which reminds people of the greatness of nature. These two sentences are similar to the artistic conception described in the preface, "Look up at the vastness of the universe and overlook the prosperity of various categories, so that you can enjoy watching and listening and believe in coke", but they are more concise and vivid, which is the difference between poetry and prose.
Faced with such a vast landscape, the poet realized the true meaning of nature and life. Here, what Wang Xizhi was aroused by the scene in front of him was not personal feelings, but thinking about the life of the universe, so what followed was not lyrical, but Chen Li.
In his article, Wang Xizhi praised the achievements of nature and felt the power of nature. For Wang Xizhi, known as "one of the three talents", all kinds of things in nature are different, but they are all fresh and full of vitality.
His poems and five poems also contain many philosophies, which show what Wang Xizhi and others understand about the Lanting gathering situation from different levels.
The status and fame of these six poems are not as good as those of Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, but they show that the poet has made a new attempt, that is, the poems began to pay attention to the aesthetics of mountains and rivers, and realized Hyunri from the mountains and rivers.
Therefore, it can also be said that this gathering of Lanting is also the standard for the rise of landscape poetry. It is precisely because of this that Lanting will be talked about more by future generations.
There is also a plaque of "Shangliu Pavilion" on Shangliu Pavilion. These three words were inscribed by Li Shutang, the magistrate of Jiangxia in the Qing Dynasty, with couplets beside them:
This place seems to have traveled, and I thought I was sitting in a stream without me;
The fate of the fairy is hard to predict, so I asked if I could meet you again.
There are "Lanting Xiutu" and "Qushui Flowchart" in the pavilion. On the back of the pavilion, the full text of Preface to Lanting written by Yang Enshu, a native of Xiangtan in the Qing Dynasty, was also hung, which was written by Sun Chuo, a literary scholar who participated in a major event in Jiya that year.
From 16 1 to 1722, Lanting has built Lanting Monument Pavilion, Imperial Monument Pavilion, Linchi Eighteen Cylinders, Wang Youjun Temple and other buildings.
Crossing the three-fold stone bridge on the goose pond and stepping into the bamboo shadow path paved with pebbles, the tablet pavilion of Kangxi Imperial Book "Lanting" is in front of you. Lanting Monument Pavilion is the landmark building of Lanting, also known as "Little Lanting", which ranks among the four famous pavilions in China.
After crossing the Goose Pond and the Sanwan Bridge, there is Xiaolan Pavilion, and the word "Lanting" is engraved on the monument in the pavilion. Lanting Monument Pavilion was built in 1695. This pavilion is square with its back to the water. Covering an area of about 27 square meters, it is a masonry structure on the top of a hill with a single eaves, which looks simple and elegant.
The word "Lanting" on the tablet was written by Emperor Kangxi. It was smashed into four pieces and later repaired. People like to touch this monument with their hands. The monument is very smooth, so it is also called "military and civilian monument".
On the west side of Xiaolan Pavilion is "Le Chi", and there is a grass pavilion in Linchi, named "Touting Pavilion". There are bamboo rafts and boats in the pool, and there is a tea room in the west of the pool for people to rest. North of Shangliu Pavilion is the Imperial Monument Pavilion. The Imperial Monument Pavilion, with octagonal double eaves, was also built by 166 1 to 1722.
There is a huge monument "Northern Henan" in the pavilion of northern Henan, which is the original monument of the Qing Dynasty. On the front of the tablet is the full text of Preface to Lanting Collection written by Emperor Kangxi 1693, with beautiful style and elegance.
On the back of the tablet is the seven-rhythm poem "Lanting is a poem of things" improvised by Emperor Qianlong when he visited Lanting in 175 1. Calligraphy is elegant, and the admiration for Lanting is beyond words. Two generations of emperors have the same book and a tablet, so it is also called "the tablet of grandparents and grandchildren".
The eighteen cylinders in Linchi are composed of eighteen cylinders, Xiziping and Taizi Monument. This is based on the allusion "Wang Xianzhi's eighteen-cylinder Linchi book is bigger than Wang Xizhi's".
According to legend, Wang Xianzhi didn't want to practice after practicing three cylinders of water, thinking that he wrote very well and was a little proud.
Once, he wrote some words to show his father. After reading it, Wang Xizhi felt that the writing style was not good, especially one of the words "big", whose structure was too loose. So I clicked on it, turned it into the word "Tai" and said, "Show it to your mother!"
After reading it, Mrs. Wang Xizhi said, "My son has practiced three tanks of water, but there is only one thing like Xi Shi."
Wang Xianzhi was very ashamed after hearing this, knowing his own gap, so he practiced calligraphy hard and finished 18 altar water, and became a famous calligrapher when he grew up. Also known as "two kings" with Wang Xizhi.
Wang Youjun Temple is the essence of Lanting. Wang Youjun Temple, located on the left side of Shangliu Pavilion, was built in 1698, with a total area of 756 square meters, cornices and cloisters, simple and profound. The wooden plaque of "Wang Youjun Temple" hangs at the upper end of the temple gate.
There is Mo Chi in the army temple on the right. According to legend, Wang Xizhi studied in Linchi, often washing pens in the pool, and the water turned black for a long time, hence the name "Mo Chi". There is a "Mohua Pavilion" in the pool. The word "Mohuating" was written by Tao, with a small postscript to remember the origin of Mohuating.
The best part of Wang Youjun Temple is a hall, with central columns and side columns connected respectively. Step into the hall with a wooden plaque hanging on it. Next to the portrait is a pair of couplets inscribed by Mr. Sha Menghai, which reads: "I have lived in mountains and rivers all my life, and I have nothing to say in the past and present." There are two woodcarving hanging screens on the left and right sides of the main hall, and the content is the Preface to Lanting Collection presented by Emperor Kangxi.
It was also built in the Qing Dynasty, with white walls and tiles and surrounded by water. Youjun Temple is a sacred place to commemorate Wang Xizhi. The cloisters on both sides of the temple are the stone carvings in the Preface to Lanting Collection written by famous artists in past dynasties. Its connotation can be summarized in two poems: "The landscape covers the bridge pavilion, the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the official grass seals."
At that time, Wang Xizhi was a right-wing general and a civilian, so people often called him "Wang Youjun".
There is a pool in the temple, which is said to be the place where calligrapher Wang Xizhi and Mo Chi washed their pens. It is said that Wang Xizhi was good at calligraphy since he was a child. 7-year-old practicing calligraphy, diligent and studious. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, he stole his father's previous calligraphy works and read them. When he is mature, he practices writing.
Wang Xizhi sat by the pool every day practicing calligraphy, seeing off the dusk and welcoming the dawn. He finished writing more or less ink, and more or less ruined his writing. After practicing calligraphy every day, he washes his pen in the pool water. After a long time, he washes all the water into ink.
In Mo Chi, there are ink flower pavilions, bridges beside the pavilions and corridors beside the temples. The whole building is "a bridge with pavilions and mountains", which is unique.
Lanting itself is a very valuable garden masterpiece and a place with rich historical and cultural connotations. Lanting has become one of the four famous pavilions in China.
