So what are the unknown stories of Lin Bu? Listen, these books are for you:
One is an indifferent hermit who loves to grow plums and raise cranes.
Lin Bu is an orphan. He lost his parents when he was a child and his family was poor. Sometimes he can't even eat.
But he has an enterprising heart. He worked hard and studied hard, and finally became a knowledgeable person.
However, his character is quiet and lofty, disdaining the social atmosphere of flattery and chasing fame and fortune, and he is not interested in fame and fortune.
So he built several huts on the Xiaogushan near the West Lake in Hangzhou and lived in seclusion.
It is said that Lin Bu has never been out of the city for more than 20 years, but he often exchanges poems with monks in temples around the West Lake by boat, and his life is far away.
Linbu has a strange temper. He never gets married, let alone has children.
But he has a group of good friends, such as Prime Minister Wang Sui, Hangzhou Governor Xue Ying, Fan Zhongyan and Mei.
They appreciate Lin Bu's personality and talent, and often go to Gushan to associate with him and pay for building a new house for him.
Lin Bu used plum blossom as a metaphor. He feels that plum blossoms are elegant and stand proudly, which is very similar to his own personality. So he planted a plum tree in front of the house. When the wintersweet bloomed, the flowers were refreshing and he was very intoxicated.
At the same time, Linbu loves cranes very much, and he has two of them himself. He thinks the graceful posture of cranes is a symbol of loyalty, honesty, longevity and good luck.
He often lets the cranes out and lets them hover in the clouds, while he sits in front of the house and looks up at them.
After a long time, the crane and Linbu developed feelings. Whenever a guest comes to visit and Linbu is not at home, the young man calls a crane to inform him. Lin Bu saw the crane fly and went home to meet the guests.
Over time, Lin Bu had the title of "Plum Wife Crane".
It can be seen that Lin Bu is not a withdrawn person. He is popular and sociable. He deliberately chose to live in seclusion because of his personality.
Second, a man of great talent disdains fame.
Lin Bu is very talented, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He is very good at painting, but unfortunately his paintings have not been handed down.
Lin Bu's calligraphy is also good, especially cursive. His brushwork is slender and powerful, similar to Ou Yangxun and Li Jianzhong, but more powerful than them.
Many famous artists such as Lu You and Su Shi spoke highly of them.
In particular, calligrapher Huang Tingjian said, "Lin Bu's calligraphy is unparalleled. Every time I see it, even if I am sick, I don't need to take medicine. " Even if you are hungry, you are full without eating. "
Although it is exaggerated, it shows that Lin Bu's calligraphy is exquisite.
Shen Zhou, a calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem specially for Lin Bu's calligraphy.
Unfortunately, only three of Lin Bu's calligraphy works have survived.
Lin Bu is most famous for his poems, most of which are lyrical.
When he wrote a poem, he didn't think much when he wrote it, but every time he finished it, he tore it up immediately after reading it.
Someone asked him, "Why not copy it down and leave it to future generations?" Lin Bu said, "I live in seclusion in the mountains now, and I don't even want to be famous for my poems. Where did I ever want to stay in the future? " Therefore, his poems only exist in the world.
Among them, Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden is a well-known masterpiece, which caused a sensation in the poetry circle at that time.
These two sentences in the poem "The shadow is horizontal, the water is clear and shallow, and the faint fragrance floats on the moon and dusk" vividly describe the elegant charm of plum blossoms, and are known as "Yongmei's eternal swan song".
Many people have a desire to stay away from the hustle and bustle, but in a society that pursues fame and fortune, few people can really do it.
However, the talented Lin Bu did it. He disdains to make a name for himself, obeys his heart and lives the life he wants. This calmness is really admirable.
Third, solitude and seclusion, or related to emotional injury.
After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin Bu's grave was stolen. His funerary objects were only a Guangdong inkstone and a jade hairpin.
Guangdong inkstone is Lin Bu's own thing, but what about the jade hairpin? Why does Lin Bu, who has never been married, keep women's jewelry? It's puzzling.
Later, people guessed Lin Bu's heart from another poem "Wu Shan is Greener" written in a woman's tone.
Cross-strait castle peak meets, who knows when to leave. Your tears are full and mine are full. The ribbon knot is not finished yet, and the river head is flat. "
It turns out that Lin Bu is not lonely and indifferent. He also has love in his heart, and he loves it deeply. Linbu has been thinking about that "her in my heart" all her life.
As for what happened to him and "her", it is unknown that he was disheartened when he was young and lived in seclusion in the mountains for the rest of his life.
In today's materialistic society, many people struggle for money and power and lose themselves.
However, the story of Lady Mei and the Crane, which is indifferent to fame and fortune, is like a clean stream, washing our hearts and letting us find our original heart and ourselves in the complicated world.
