Look at the chess game, cut the trees, and the clouds move slowly Selling wine to earn wages, laughing hysterically. The pale path is high in autumn, and the pillow root of the moon is loose. It is morning. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliff and cross the ridge, and the axe breaks the dead vine.
Collect it into a load. In the market, it costs three liters per meter. There is no competition, and the current price is flat. Will not be clever, no honor or disgrace, quiet and protracted. When we met, we sat quietly and talked about Huang Ting.
This song "Man Ting Square" was sung by a woodcutter when the Monkey King went to the Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai to seek Taoism. According to the woodcutter, this is an old fairy (Bodhi ancestor) who saw his housework and daily troubles and read this word when he encountered troubles, one for distraction and the other for liberation. The direct function of this word is to point the way for the Monkey King (who didn't have a name at that time). The meaning of this word is very simple, that is, to persuade people to "not worry about poverty, not worry about wealth." This is a typical China's complementary thought of Confucianism and Taoism. This word was written by Bodhi. The image of Bodhi's founder is mysterious and worth pondering. From the image, he is undoubtedly a Taoist real person, but the title of Bodhi seems to be a figure in Buddhism-Xu Bodhi is a disciple of the Tathagata. Judging from his words and deeds, he seems to be a seasoned charlatan again. For example, the "skills", "flow", "quietness" and "movement" that he began to preach to Wukong are all miscellaneous studies in the Jianghu, such as divination and exorcism, reading the scriptures and chanting Buddha, and nourishing yin and yang. And his metaphors such as "building a column in the wall", "adobe in the kiln head" and "fishing for the moon in the water" are also very vulgar. Later, he told Wukong not to show off his bravado and make trouble, which made Wukong look sophisticated again. It can be found that although The Journey to the West seems to be talking about deism, it is a reconstruction of secular life. For example, although this song "Man Ting Square" is written by a fairy, it is not a fairy style. Although there is a sentence at the end, "If you meet a fairy, you will be the Tao, and you will start your journey in Huang Ting", but there is no intention to persuade people to seek the Tao. This word is the work of Tao Qing.
Why don't you ask Kun Hayes? I am the first demon in history!
Many long poems in the book are self-introductions of characters. These can be said to be basically meaningless, but these two sentences have unusual momentum. These are the last two words that the Monkey King said when he reported himself to the black bear who stole the cassock. We only look at these two sentences. The Monkey King has been invincible since he was proud. Making trouble with the Dragon Palace, making trouble with the underworld, gathering 48,000 demons in Huaguoshan, taking charge of the 72-hole demon king, and later making trouble with the Heavenly Palace, all these earth-shattering feats have brought him great fame. In Huaguoshan, he called himself the Monkey King, and later he called himself Monkey King. But 500 years later, what is the Monkey King's own evaluation? It's a demon! How easy it is to "go to Kunming to ask" and how proud it is to "I am the first demon in the past"! This is a passionate declaration of secular tradition. Demons have never had a good position in myths and legends, and both people and immortals scoff at them. But Monkey Sun proudly calls himself a demon, which is "the first". It can be said that the Monkey King was born a rebel, and he always boldly pursued freedom. We pay attention to the time of this statement. At this point, the Monkey King had just converted to Buddhism. It was the first time that the Monkey King really showed his skill to the black bear essence. This is the first time to vent after 500 years of bondage. The Monkey King at this time can be said to be wild, or my true colors 500 years ago. Mr. Lu Xun once commented that the Monkey King was a rebel under class oppression at first, and later surrendered to the old forces, who in turn oppressed other rebels. This statement is really far-fetched In fact, the Monkey King changed from vulgarity to divinity and from barbarism to Buddhism. The author's thought seems a little conservative now, but it was really a great creation at that time. Mao Zedong said in "The First Great Encirclement of the Fisherman's Proud Rebellion": "The red flag cannot fall under the mountain". Repeal the verdict for the old villain and enthusiastically praise the rebels under oppression. And Wu Cheng'en's two sentences are earlier than Mao's-I'm too lazy to forget them for years.
Zen is like a bright moon, and poetry is as fresh as blue.
Good sentences are full of beauty. Good words do not spit out rare treasures.
The Six Dynasties washed away the prosperity, and at the beginning of the fourth period, the distinction between elegance and praise was deleted.
Half pillow pine wind tea is immature and full of spring.
This is a cooperation between Tang Priest and Jin Jielao, Gu Zhigong, Fu Yunzuo and Ling Yunzi in Muxian Temple. Read this poem carefully, except for the three sentences of Tang Yan, the rest are really commendable. Tang Priest's journey to learn from the scriptures is bumpy. In addition to dealing with the kind of going into the wasteland, I always worry about which goblin pot will cook or fry, and when I will be forced by which goblin to press the bed and violently catch the boy. But this encounter with the devil is another matter. The four fairies are magnificent and peculiar, with "first frost style", "dancing with blue hair and temples" and "dignified and beautiful colors". Moreover, the four great poets are good at reciting poems. The scenery of Muxian Temple is very good, and Tang Priest feels a rare relaxation. After all, Tang Priest is a mortal, so he should be proud in this environment. This description can be said to be the most elegant and quiet paragraph in the book. When we look at the first sentence, "Zen is like a dust-free moon", we know that it was said by Zen master. Zen, clean and dust-free. Comparing the heart with the moon is a common metaphor in Zen. There is a saying of "February" in the Shurangama Sutra, which is also a comparison between heart-to-heart and month. But this sentence did not get the true meaning of Zen. Zen is like the moon, too straightforward. Zen tells the truth. And "dustless" is probably not the highest realm of Zen. Huineng, the sixth ancestor, said, "There is nothing, so there is no dust." . "Five Lights Meeting Yuan" records that Qian Ke asked, "How is the pure land?" He said; "Who fouled you?" It can be seen that the highest state of Zen is that there is nothing in the world. I like the last two sentences best. I feel a little Zen. "Half-pillow pine wind tea is not ripe", the ancients said that "tea and cicada are one". "Half pillow relaxation" is idle. When the tea is not ripe and the atmosphere is not strong, it is "chic". Little did I know that when the tea was ripe, the rich atmosphere during brewing was destroyed. And "singing smartly" looks like a romantic genius in the forest under the moon at first glance. "Full of spring" is not consistent with the purity of Buddhism. But is "singing with chic" something that only Confucian scholars do? Buddhism also has flying dance. And the interpretation of the door is vast, is there no spring scenery? Buddhists also have the scene of flowers and rain all over the sky and underground golden lotus falling. Those who love themselves are real celebrities. A few words from Tang Priest let us see the true feelings of a monk. Without saying a few words, these four poets, together with the apricot fairy who appeared later, were finally swept down by Zhu Bajie. These people are not serious, but it's a pity that they all end up like this. How many goblins escaped punishment because of their relationship with immortals and bodhisattvas on the way to the Western Heaven? It can be seen that not only some people in the DPRK are good officials, but also some people in the DPRK are good at doing evil. This vast world is corrupt!
The Buddha is far away from Lingshan, and Lingshan is only in your heart.
Everyone has a Ling Mountain Tower, learn from Ling Mountain Tower.
These four sentences seem simple, but in fact they are extremely witty. "Lingshan is only in your heart" can be said to be the belief held by the Buddhist team in the face of Qian Shan's thousands of waters. At this time, Wukong's mouth was empty. "Go to Kunming and ask, I am the first demon in history!" Madness is also the fruit of practice. These four sentences are called Luo by Buddhists. This poem has two meanings. At the first level, all practice is to cultivate the mind. In Wukong's words, "the heart is pure and lonely, and all kinds of circumstances are clear." But as long as the Buddha is still alive, all difficulties are illusory. The second meaning is that everyone has Buddha nature. It is not enough for people to have Buddha nature, but also to practice enlightenment. Although the first two sentences are about Buddhism, they are not limited to Buddhism. It can be said that it is instructive to put him anywhere in our lives. These last two sentences are also related to some Confucian viewpoints. Mencius' view that "human nature is good" is the same as everyone's truth that "everyone has Ling Mountain Tower". It is not enough to be kind, but also to be kind. Therefore, The Journey to the West's philosophical spirit is not only the religious philosophy of Buddhism and Taoism.
To sum up, the poems of Journey to the West are Zen-like, but point to the secular. The meaning is meaningful, but not obscure. In addition, there are many beautiful poems in it, so I won't elaborate on them because they are not representative. There are also many poems, such as "riding a donkey and thinking about a good horse, watching the princes in the official residence." "It's better than being greedy for blood at home and falling into a smelly bag." For no reason at all, it's just like household words. It's very distinctive. I will not analyze them one by one here.
