It is not as difficult as a quilt in winter and a mosquito net in summer. He had many friends who were officials, or gave him mosquito nets, but he traded them for rice. Later poet Shi advised him: "It is better to have no mosquito net in summer than to have no clothes in winter." You still have to take good care of it and have a plan. " Lin Gudu smiled and said, "I'd rather use a tiger to guard it." The answer was wonderful, and everyone laughed.
There are no fewer mosquitoes than tigers in summer. Shi made a ramie mosquito net and gave it to him for fear that he would pawn it again. Invited many scholars to write poems on mosquito nets, which is equivalent to signing the poet Lin. I hope no buyers are interested. One of the poems wrote: "Lin Maozhi, a poet in Longwan, lost interest in taking care of the elderly. Since then, I have slept on the reed quilt and cared about bullying. " Bai Niao refers to mosquitoes. How can a solitary crane be bullied by Bai Niao? This year, Lin Gu is 8 1 year old, and he is still in his prime. Lin Jiadu's father, Lin Zhang (formerly known as Spring Garden, formerly known as Chu Wen). Yin Bo, a famous poet and dramatist in the late Ming Dynasty, was able to write poems at the age of seven. In the first year of Wanli (1573), "Spring and Autumn are tired in my hometown". I was an adjutant in Qi Jiguang, and later my family moved to Jinling. Lin Yutang was able to associate with celebrities such as Zhong Xing, Tan and Qian in Jinling because of his father. Influenced by his father Lin Zhang, Lin Gudu liked to write poems since he was a child. His friend Qian's "Lin Pian" in Biography of Poems in Past Dynasties said: "The second son of early literary works can be used as a poem when he moved, but also as a poem when he was old. Gudu and Yuhao live in Jinling City, and their families are surrounded by walls. On the shelf, Xie Gaoyu (Ao ornaments) and Zheng Suonan () have broken books, beaten and wet with tears, and they are also loyal to the first article. "
In his early years, Lin Gudu became famous for his appreciation of the Dragon Slayer in Drum Trip. At this time, his poems were beautiful and graceful, and won the charm of the Six Dynasties. Later, Zhong Xing and Tan visited Jinling successively, and Lin Gudu hit it off with them. He returned to Dajiang and lived in Jingling for several months, and his poems became Chu Feng. 1630, the young Huang Zongxi visited Nanjing, and he also learned poetry writing from Lin Gudu, that is, how the Han and Tang Dynasties operated in Wei and Jin Dynasties. He recalled in "Nostalgia": "Lin Gudu, known as Maozhi, is from Fujian, living in Nanjing, desolate and mean, full of cars and horses. His ancestors were beaten with sticks, leaving a poem: I'm sorry for your old hatred, but my new grievance will be settled! Maozhi read it and shed tears. " Huang Zongxi's father, Huang Zunsu, a famous party member in Lindong, was framed by Wei Zhongxian and died in prison. No wonder he and Lin Gu are in the same boat.
When the family is well-off, Lin Gu likes to carve books for his friends. 16 14 years in Nanjing, Zhong Xing's book Yin Xiu Xuan Ji was engraved with 33 volumes. 16 18 years, he carved 30 volumes of Cao Xuequan chuanzhong scenic spots. Zhong Xing said in the preface of the book: "Lin Maozhi, a poor man, is good at his books and carves a white door." It can be seen that his life has been difficult. 1640, Lin Gudu cooperated with Wang Junsheng in Xin 'an to engrave Zheng Sixiao's posthumous work A History of the Heart, which made this Song posthumous work widely circulated. In the same year, Lin Gudu also carved seven volumes of Baiyun Ji by Putian poet Chen Ang. 1644, Manchu entered Beijing. After the war, most of Lin Gudu's contemporaries died, leaving him standing tall and independent, becoming the only surviving old man in the previous dynasty, with a very high generation. China's scholar-officials worshipped his name, but fortunately he didn't die. When they passed Nanjing, they stopped to visit. Lin Yutang's home, once next to Hualin Garden, has the beauty of pavilions. After the Ming Dynasty, it became a garage and a stable, so he had to move to the south of Zhu Zhen Bridge and the humble Hutong Gate, and his fun remained unchanged. His old friend Qian recalled: "Guduhe lived in Jinling City, and both of them had walls. There are many books left by Xie Ao and Zheng Suo on the bookshelf. They are dancing and crying and wet. " Yanwu didn't see him until very late. 166 1 year, he wrote a poem "Give Chu Shi an ancient time in the forest", which began by saying: "The old friend respected it, but now it is contemptible." Then he strongly praised the old poet: "The mountains and rivers suddenly changed color, and the plants and trees were withered." I am ordered to loosen the cypress alone and not change my green posture. Eighty-one this year, fine print is a new poem. Founder is neither arrogant nor clever. "Also said that he is a noble, deserve to be a teacher, it is a shame to live for a long time after washing.
There is no need for Lin Gu to be loyal to the former power. He is not famous, nor has he received the salary of the Ming Dynasty. Nevertheless, the Ming Dynasty still held a grudge against him for killing his father. But he has been wearing his childhood money all his life. This money is very famous among the adherents. At the age of 85, Wu Jiaji wrote "A Money House for Lin Maozhi", in which he wrote: "There are wars and poverty everywhere, and there is only one penny left at the bottom of the bag ... whoever can drink on credit will pass it on to others first. The drinker wants to cry without tears, but he pays Wanli money first. " In the same year, when Wang Ming, an Anhui poet, saw Lin Gudu, he gave him a poem, which said, "Selling wine is not a fortune." Lin Gudu was surprised: "Strange, how do you know that I have Wan Li money?" He unfolded his left arm to show him. The money was warm and radiant, so he gave it to Lin Maozhi. In his letter, he said, "Where you put a piece of copper coin, twenty years of diligence will bound your left arm." The land is like five baht light, and the strokes are clear and Wan Li characters. All the stories are gloomy. I'll wear a wisp for you. "
Many adherents have carefully preserved some old things of the former dynasty in order to pin their thoughts on the motherland. Copper coins are one of the most interesting things. Another famous poet, Qu Dajun, also kept an eternal money, tied with yellow silk, put it in a yellow brocade bag and kept it between his elbow and his armpit. Qu Dajun knew about Lin Gudu's money. He said: "Mr. Lin Maozhi, a Hou Guan, has been tied up for more than 50 years with 10 thousand calendar money." Wu Dang, a barbarian from Taizhou, gave it as a gift. There is also a piece of money, the text of which reads' Li Yong Bao Tong'. It is copper red, its character is small, and the word money is very large. It has been pregnant for 30 years. " A dollar in the old country brings them feelings that our descendants don't know. With the growth of age, Lin Gudu's reputation is getting higher and higher. Tongcheng Fang Gonggan's "When I met Lin Mao, I was eighty-five" said: "The group will serve the husband and face each other." People respect him, just like Ding Yi, an antique, ancient and strange. Another Tongcheng study room humorously described the old man's poverty: "Chu bluebirds basked in the snow and leisurely took their young girls out of Lin Hao." Don't blame the family for their thin clothes. Eighty-five Weng still has a robe. "
His association with Wang Shizhen has always been praised. Lin Gudu has met Wang Shizhen's ancestors in Beijing. 1662, when young Wang Shizhen went to Yangzhou to be an official, although he had a poetic title, it was not loud. Wang Shizhen was very respectful to the poets of the past, "I tied my socks with a stick", presented a collection of poems, and wrote "Mr. Lin Maozhi from Long song": "In January, I was invited to play the flute for a long time, and the mud was slippery and the spring was dim. Mountain people suddenly came from Rushan, and mango shoes visited me on Qingxi Road. I love you sitting in the imperial court and telling the story of yesterday's trip. " Lin Gudu also tried his best to support his old friend, and made a preface to Entering Wu Ji, which greatly praised him: "Mr. Wang is a wonderful young man, a politician, like a new sword, with flowers blooming and talents coming forth in large numbers." Lin Gudu's praise has an immeasurable influence on Wang Shizhen's popularity. No wonder Wang Shizhen will never forget this kindness.
1664, Lin Gudu went to Yangzhou with his poems written 60 years after 1604, and asked Wang Shizhen to delete them, saying, "It's a thousand years' work, and now it's time to pay for it." His health deteriorated rapidly. The following year, Wang Shizhen went to Nanjing. He was blind, cried goodbye, and soon died. Wang Shizhen recalled in "My Talk in Chibei": 1668, he read Chen Ang's "White Clouds" and thought: Teacher Chen once passed a white cloud, so I can't pass it on to Teacher Chen alone? So I picked up fifty or sixty poems, all fresh and graceful, with the style of the Six Dynasties and the Early Tang Dynasty. After reading the stone, he said to Guangling, "The world doesn't know what this old man looks like. You are really Mao Zhi's confidant. " Wang Shizhen finished compiling Lin Gudu's poems and prepared to print them, but he was delayed by other things. Until 40 years later, Wang Shizhen himself was dying. Before he died, Cheng Zhe, the trustee, published a collection of poems for Lin Gudu and told him, "This is my sword-hanging promise at the age of 50." 17 10, Cheng published two volumes of Selected Poems of Lin Maozhi and collected more than 200 poems.
Wang Shizhen's poems are just works written by Lin Gudu before 16 1 1. He argued that his later works were influenced by Jingling School, and some people said that he was afraid of disasters. Lin Yutang studied the Six Dynasties in his early years, but Zhong Xing and Tan, the spiritual Jingling school, cut according to their own standards, and few survived. Very not easy to express the soul alone, but it happened that it fell into the hands of Wang Shizhen, who advocated verve, and was almost deleted. After strict screening by the leaders of the two schools of verve, most of his thousands of poems were erased, leaving only two thin volumes. Mr. Yuan Xingyun, a close friend, said with emotion in Records of Qing Poetry that Lin Yutang's Old Works with Tan were deleted, and there were few later works, leaving only those who were in their prime in the Six Dynasties. It is regrettable that famous people choose poems. "Lin Gudu live impatient, in Rushan dug a grave slightly wider than the body, called cocoon nest, and slept in it at night, even if he died, he would not be buried. He asked Shi for poems and wrote "Poems Written by Lin Maozhi", which is wonderful: "Eighty-one is hard to be beautiful, and a towel is worn." Shoulder Yu came to meet each other, but he didn't sing for a few cups. I said I built a house in Rushan, and the forest was full of smog in Gu Duo. A new business is as big as a cocoon. When you die, don't seal the tree, eversleeping. You are not allowed to turn around and write poems when you are young. It's just that now that I'm dying, I'm still blind and pretending to be a master forever. See, wealth withers, monuments are empty, and the north hates Taiwan and kills people! "Death comes too late, but my eyes are blind first. Later, Lin Gu died. In short, there is still the problem of burial after death. Wang Shilu wrote a poem "I heard from a friend that Mr. Lin Maozhi has not been buried" and lamented that "the coffin is still on the ground. Where is the kindness of the old man?" "Three years after his death, an old friend finally came to bury him. It is Zhou Lianggong, a great scholar who is an official in Lin Yutang's hometown of Fujian.
