Lingyin Temple
[Tang] Song Wenzhi
The vulture ridge is gloomy, and the Dragon Palace is lonely.
Look at the sea, the door is facing the tide in Zhejiang.
In the middle of the month, laurel trees fall and fragrant clouds float outside.
If you climb the tower, you will find that spring is far away.
Frost is thin, flowers are hairy, and ice leaves are not withered.
The age of rewelding is still different, and the search is right.
Stay on Tiantai Road and look at the extra stone bridge.

The first couplet describes the geographical location and general situation of Lingyin Temple: "Nine Ridges are lush and the Dragon Palace is lonely", which means that the quiet temple is located at the foot of Feilai Peak, which is tall and lush, making it more solemn. Jiuling: Indian spiritual jiusan, here refers to the northern peak of Lingyin Mountain, namely Feilai Peak. Depression: lush, lush. Hey hey: Jun Gao; Towering into the sky. Dragon Palace: According to Lingyin Temple, it is said that the Dragon King once asked the Buddha to interpret the scriptures, so the place where the Buddha is located is called Dragon Palace. "Lock"
The lines reveal the tranquility, emptiness and eternity of Buddhism. The two allusions of "Nine Mausoleums" and "Dragon Palace" are natural and full of myth, which makes people think. Generally speaking, the first link of the arrangement law is not uniform, but it is natural here, giving readers a neat and harmonious aesthetic feeling.
In the second couplet, "The building looks at the sea, and the door faces the tide in Zhejiang", and the last sentence is looking forward to the sunrise on the sea, the glow is everywhere, and the clouds are all over the sky. The next sentence is a close-up view, the river is surging and white waves are surging. Looking at the beautiful place when entering the scenic spot, opening people's hearts, strengthening people's lofty sentiments and making people feel happy, these two sentences have become beautiful sentences for generations with neat confrontation and spectacular scenery. The words here are not unfamiliar and the words are not rich, but they can give people a special aesthetic feeling.
The third link, "Guizi falls in the middle of the moon, and the fragrance is floating outside the clouds", Guizi: the seed of osmanthus tree. Osmanthus fragrans blooms without fruit. Day two tigers gave birth to a child. Legend has it that every autumn in Lingyin Temple and Tianzhu Temple, there are often bean-like particles falling from the sky, called cassia seed. Tianxiang: the fragrance of offering sacrifices to the gods. In the northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuxin's poem "Floating Picture of Fenghe Tongtai Temple" said: "Tianxiang returns to the temple, and the immortal enters the righteous life." Guizi scattered in the moon palace, making a lot of noise; The cigarettes in the Dragon Palace curled up into the sky, interwoven up and down into a quiet and ethereal realm. This couplet poem expresses the pleasant characteristics of Lingyin Temple with myths and legends.
The first triple of the poem is written on the front of Lingyin Temple, and the next triple is set off on the side. Based on his observation and feelings of going up the mountain to win, the poet painted a quiet and spacious background for Lingyin Temple: vines covered the road, ancient pagodas looked far away, springs gurgled, and mountain flowers were in Ling Bing, Ao Shuang. All this shows the beauty of simplicity, quietness and exquisiteness. The poet was deeply moved by this beautiful scenery and could not help admiring:
"The age of rewelding is still different, and it is annoying to find it." Since he was a child, he has been longing for the beautiful scenery of strange mountains everywhere. This time, he got what he wanted by visiting you, which made him forget the troubles and anxiety in the world.
The last couplet is "Stay on Tiantai Road and see the redundant stone bridge". This is the poet's illusion. He has been intoxicated and mistakenly thinks Lingyin is a rooftop, but he is a little tall. Tiantai Mountain is a famous Buddhist shrine, and the legend of Shiqiao is the place where immortals live. "Chen and Ruan Zhao went to the rooftop to collect herbs, met two women, lived for half a year, and sought to return. Seven generations lived under one roof." This beautiful myth and legend is hidden in the poem, which further praises the superiority of the terrain and landscape environment of Lingyin Temple with its own feelings, and can be comparable to the rooftop.
