Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, died in Dangtu, Anhui Province and was buried at the foot of Qingshan Mountain in Dangtu. Besides Taibai Tomb, there are new Taibai Temple, Ten Odes Pavilion and Exhibition Hall for tourists to visit.
When tourists enter the cemetery, cross the small bridge, recite the scriptures and visit the shrine, they will see some couplets hanging beside the pillars. One of the couplets was written by Zhao Puchu, a Buddhist master.
1986 In May, Mr. Zhao Puchu collected sentences for the tomb shrine and wrote:
Bai Yang and Lei Yun raised their pens and shook the Five Mountains.
Until, holding up my cup, I asked the bright moon to reflect thousands of spring.
This couplet is hung on the back of the statue of Li Bai in the temple. The statue of Li Bai is made of white marble, with a picture of mountains and rivers on the back and a plaque of "Taibai Gaozong" hanging on his forehead. The words on the plaque were written by Shu Tong. Taibai Temple, with calligraphy and painting, statues, couplets and ancient monuments, complements red lacquer columns, square trees, archways, tall buildings and green hills, with extraordinary momentum and ancient meaning.
"Bai Yang blows clouds and thunders to shake the five mountains" means that Li Bai's poems are magnificent, that is, the poems praising Li Bai are like waves in the rivers and seas. The sky is high and the clouds are wide, the wind and thunder fall to the ground, and the earth shakes.
Li Bai, a great romantic poet, "bid farewell to his relatives and travel far and east to the sea". Wherever he went, he sang to his heart's content, and I don't know how many masterpieces of the motherland's mountains and rivers have been left behind for decades. His poems are elegant and bold, full of passion and earth-shattering spirit. "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream" is an example: "Up to the sky, it climbs into the sky, tops the Five Mountains, and penetrates China. The ladder is hundreds of miles, and it begins to turn to the southeast. My heart and dreams fly in Wuyue and Jinghu overnight ... 1000 rocks and 1000 roads are uncertain. Flowers lure me, and rocks ease me. The day suddenly ended. Bears, dragons and storms on mountains and rivers disturb forests and shake mountains. The clouds are dark and the rain is dark, the water is faint, the thunder and lightning are shining, the mountains are crumbling, the stone gates are broken, and the sinkholes are drained. " How imposing this poem is! It is full of ups and downs. When reading this poem, I walked in Tianmu Mountain with the poet. Ear is the roar of spring, eyes are rolling mountains. I vaguely see an elegant and wild poet in my mind.
"Five Mountains" refers to Songshan Mountain in Henan, Taishan Mountain in Shandong, Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, Hengshan Mountain in Hunan and Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi. They are called Zhongyue, Dongyue, Xiyue, Nanyue and Beiyue respectively. These five mountains are majestic and ups and downs, although majestic, but they are not comparable to Li Bai's poems. Li Bai's poems can make them move mountains and rivers.
"The pen shakes the five mountains" comes from Li Bai's poem "Songs on the River". Li Bai praised Dr. Qu for "warmly shaking the Five Mountains, and writing poems with a smile and pride in Cangzhou", which was quoted by Mr. Zhao Puchu in praise of Li Bai.
"Until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon, reflecting thousands of spring". This is a sentence collected from Li Bai's "Drinking the Moon Alone", and the collection of "Until, Raise My Cup, I Ask the Moon" may have many purposes. Li Bai once wrote a poem known to all women and children: "Since from a pot of wine among the flowers, I have been drinking alone. No one was with me until I raised my cup. I asked the moon to bring me my shadow and let the three of us be together. Alas, the moon cannot drink water, and my shadow follows me blankly; But for a while, I had these friends who cheered me up at the end of spring. I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. After my shadow rolled down, I woke up to have sex, and then I got drunk and we lost each other. " When reading Mr. Zhao Puchu's couplets, people will naturally think of this poem, and they will also miss this stumbling poet who is looking forward to the bright moon. Li Bai left us more than a thousand years ago, but his poem "Clear water makes hibiscus, and it is natural to carve it" and his spirit of integrity will shine on future generations.
Couplets still exist, Zhao Weng has passed away, alas! Alas!
