Master Hongyi's poem Farewell

Master Hongyi's poem "Farewell" is introduced as follows:

say goodbye to

Word: Li Shutong

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain.

The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. A pot of turbid wine will make you happy, so don't go to Meng Han tonight.

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. When will you return this? Don't hesitate to come.

The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. Life is once in a blue moon, only parting.

When you think of farewell, you will think of Li Shutong and Master Hongyi.

Li Shutong wrote many musical works before he became a monk. Among his songs, Farewell is the most influential one. He is also a famous calligrapher. He pushed the ancient calligraphy art of China to the extreme. Modern cultural celebrities such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo all regard it as an honor to get the words of a master.

Whether he is called Li Shutong or Master Hongyi, he is a very traditional person. Although he has studied abroad and has a deep understanding of western literature and art, his most essential thing is tradition, so he will become a master of Buddhist legalism.

Farewell came out and swept the country, and it has been sung for nearly a hundred years. During the Republic of China, I used to be a must-sing song for primary school students. The movie "Old Things in the South of the City" takes this song as the theme song and runs through the whole play. When I was a child, I watched the old things in the south of the city. I couldn't feel the unspeakable sadness of parting in my young mind, because I never left anyone. Now that I think about it, I am often sad and always think that I can move on.

Music, art, calligraphy, literature, drama and other art forms are all reflections of the heart. When a person's inner beauty reaches a certain level and his understanding of the world is higher than that of most people, excellent works will be produced.

Master Hongyi lived a happy life in the first half and a hard life in the second half. He has been through both ends of his life, so he really gave up so that he can live in the present.
