The grass is in the sky.
Friends are separated.
Outside the sunset mountain.
He is Li Shutong and Master Hongyi.
His talent and customs are on a par with the world of mortals.
He first introduced oil painting, piano and drama to China.
Good at calligraphy, poetry, painter, temperament and epigraphy.
His Twenty Shocking the World is first-class in music, drama, calligraphy, painting and poetry.
At the height of his fame, he abandoned his wife and children and fled into an empty net.
Why did Li Can Shutong write such a masterpiece as Farewell?
I think this stems from Li Shutong's unique life experience.
Li Shutong's Artistic Image
Li Shutong was born in Tianjin on 1880.
Although he was born in Zhong Ming's family, Li Shutong is an unmarried woman. After his father died at the age of five, his position in the family was different from that in the past.
Sensitive Li Shutong deeply felt the loneliness of life.
At an early age, I followed the Buddhists at home to recite the great compassion mantra and buried the Buddha root in my heart.
At the age of eight, Li Shutong studied the Four Books and Five Classics, calligraphy and epigraphy.
13 years old, studying exegetics and attacking calligraphy in past dynasties.
15 years old, chanting "life is like the western hills, and wealth is like frost on the grass."
Li Shutong was not keen on "orthodox learning". He often goes to the theater to sing in person.
At that time, he was interested in his favorite seed actor Yang.
However, Yang was sold into the government, and after many twists and turns, he married a merchant woman.
Li Shutong's infatuation turned to melancholy.
18 years old, my mother is, she married Yu's daughter.
My brother appropriated 300,000 yuan from the family property to buy him a house. He spent most of his money on art.
At the age of 20, he indulged in debauchery and gained a deeper understanding of the ups and downs of life.
He founded the "Shanghai Society", held lectures and workshops, and organized new drama research.
He wrote lyrics such as The Book of Songs in western music, and the songs were all the rage.
Proficient in calligraphy and seal cutting, he established a painting and calligraphy association with famous artists in Shanghai painting and calligraphy circles to jointly organize the Painting and Calligraphy Newspaper.
He sang "Huang Tianba" on stage in black and pink?
At this time, his sharp-edged talent has aroused widespread concern in society.
Later, Li Shutong taught in Zhejiang First Normal University for 6 years.
During his years as a teacher, he became more and more withdrawn and liked to live in isolation. He often hid his desk and wrote poems and paintings alone.
During this period, he wrote the famous Farewell.
"The ends of the earth and the ends of the earth, intimate friends are scattered", and the feeling of loneliness is vividly on the paper.
1965438+On June 30th, 2008, Li Shutong told Feng Zikai and other students: "I want to become a monk."
The student asked him, "What did the teacher do when he became a monk?"
Li Shutong simply said, "Nothing."
The student asked again, "Do you have the heart to abandon your own flesh and blood?"
He said: "personnel are impermanent, such as sudden illness and death." If you don't want to throw it away, can you get it safely? "
I heard that he was going to become a monk, and his Japanese wife came. "What should I do if you become a monk?" ? Why should I go back to Japan? "
Li Shutong left her the watch as a souvenir: "You are capable, and it is not difficult to survive in China."
Say and sail away in the vast white fog.
His wife burst into tears, but he never looked back.
Li Shutong escaped into an empty net and made contemporary people cry.
In fact, in his article, the fundamental reason for his conversion to Buddhism has long been revealed.
He has a deep understanding of the impermanence of life, the sudden change of life and the wandering of the world of mortals, but he can't find a stable place for his soul.
He pinned his mind and body on Buddhism. From then on, there was no Li Shutong in the world, only Master Hongyi was left.
After shaving, Master Hongyi studied Buddhism hard and took precepts as his teacher.
Master Hongyi's last words before his death are four words that disappoint the world: the intersection of sadness and joy.
At this time, people will definitely think of "farewell".
Finally, let's revisit the famous farewell.
Outside the pavilion, next to the ancient road,
The grass is blue,
The evening breeze blows the willow flute,
The mountain after sunset?
