Essay on paying homage to Sansu
On the night of August 16th, there was no shadow of the moon in the sky. People often say that the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round. Why is the full moon I look forward to hiding deep in the clouds? Could it be that the moon knows that we want to pay homage to "Sansu" and doesn't want to come out?
When night is about to fall, my mood is as gloomy as the sky, but I look forward to the weather clearing up as soon as possible so that the moon can come out at night. I called the poet Gao Chunlin and asked him if he would go to "Sansu Garden" to pay homage to "Sansu" tonight because of the gloomy weather. He said the weather was cloudy and if there was no moon, we would not go. I am usually clumsy, but at this moment I blurted out that we are paying homage to the "Three Sus", Su Shi, Su Xun and Su Che, they are all famous writers. The moon is in the sky. If we know that we are paying homage to "Sansu", the sky will naturally be clear at night, and the moon will suddenly appear, giving us a surprise of enjoying the moon.
Gao Chunlin replied: "What you said makes sense. We should go. We can't give up our plan to visit "Sansu" just because there is no moon." After that, I thought to myself: I don't leave any room for my own words. , go at night, if this gloomy weather does not turn sunny, the moon does not come out, and I am ridiculed by Chun Lin and others, what will I do?
I thought about how to respond to their question "Why doesn't the moon come out?" If they asked, I would not be impatient. Su Shi was "confident". He prepared a defense for me as early as the late Song Dynasty: "People have Joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, this is something that has never happened since ancient times. "Su Shi was so considerate. As long as we literary friends in Jiaxian County have the sincerity to pay homage to "San Su", even if there is no moon, it will not affect us. good mood.
We went to the Sansu Garden Scenic Area to pay a visit to "Sansu", and we were accompanied by 9 literary friends. Among them are the famous poet Gao Chunlin, Shi Wei from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, essayist Guo Xufeng, reportage writer Ma Jijun and others. Due to the interests of literary friends, everyone expressed their own opinions on paying homage to "Sansu" and burying him. Gao Chunlin said that Su Shi and Su Che's homes were far away in Meishan, Sichuan. They were interested in the "dragon and phoenix" treasure land in Jiaxian County and chose to be buried here during their lifetimes. As literature lovers in Jiaxian County, we should come to visit them during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although people from Su Shi's hometown cannot come here, we cannot let the "Three Sus" of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" have no mooncakes to eat... Before Chunlin finished speaking, Guo Xufeng, who was good at writing prose, interjected: "Su Dongpo not only wrote poems Well, he also likes to eat mooncakes. There is a poem that says, "Small cakes are like chewing the moon, with crispy and sweet cakes in them." The small mooncakes I bring also have "crispy and sweet cakes". As long as they like to eat them, I will treat them every Mid-Autumn Festival in the future. Send them mooncakes, and they are modern mooncakes, which are more delicious than the mooncakes in the late Northern Song Dynasty."
Because "Sansu" was buried in Jia County, literary friends in Jiaxian County know a lot about Su Shi's poems. They all expressed their own opinions about "Three Su", which was full of fun, as if "while talking and laughing, the oars and oars disappeared into ashes". In the happy time, everyone seemed to forget why the moon did not come out. When I felt calm, the novelist Yao Jinkui said: "Today's weather is cloudy, it would be great if there was a moon." Yu Songfeng, a follower, blurted out: "We will know why the moon does not come out if we ask Su Shi. Su Shi said, ' When will the bright moon come? "The weather is cloudy today, but it's not clear." The writer Ma Jijun interjected: "It's cloudy today, and you are arguing about who is the right person to ask." Gao Chunlin said leisurely: "None of us need to ask. Su Dongpo knew that the moon waxes and wanes. He didn't care whether there was a moon or not. As long as we sincerely pay homage to 'San Su', we will all be literary greats in the future, because Su Dongpo He is our idol..."
The Sansu Garden Scenic Area at night looks particularly solemn because "Sansu" is buried here. The chirping of crickets and other autumn insects is like a symphony orchestra in the night, singing in the surrounding grass. The slightly cold autumn wind is blowing. Some people say that the weather is cold, it comes in a hurry, and they forget to add clothes. But with "Sansu" who is "a romantic figure through the ages" here, their hearts are naturally very warm, which does not affect the good mood of visiting "Sansu".
When talking about the topic of paying homage to "Sansu" and its significance now and in the future, everyone seems to have forgotten that the autumn weather is slightly cooler. We all took out the sacrifices we brought from the car: bananas, apples , drinks, moon cakes, fiery red soft persimmons, etc., as well as Dukang fine wine. Cao Cao said: "The only solution to worries is Du Kang." The wine brewed by Dukang, "San Su" was just right for drinking. Especially Su Shi, he was demoted many times in his life, his career was bumpy and his fate was ill-fated. Su Shi, who is alive in heaven, may have drunk Dukang wine and became more free and heroic, becoming a heroic figure who said "the country is picturesque and there are so many heroes in one moment". Su Shi was not as willful as Li Bai: "The five-flowered horse, the rich fur, and the son will be exchanged for fine wine." Li Bai was addicted to drinking, so he could exchange the good horses and fine clothes at home for fine wine. Su Shi didn't drink in such an absurd way. He not only "asked the blue sky for wine", but also enjoyed life very much. Su Shi was very elegant and refused to be vulgar. He said in "Yu Qian Monk Luyunxuan": "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. Without meat, one will be thin, and without bamboo, one will be vulgar. People who are thin can still be fat. , the common people cannot cure it."
In the Sansu Garden, bamboos and cypress trees are planted all around, and there are many kinds of precious plants. All year round, green bamboo branches and leaves are luxuriant, and cypress trees cover the sky and the sun, reaching into the clouds. The scenery of Sansu Garden is like a picture drawn by hundreds of grasses. The spring scenery is infinitely beautiful and welcomes tourists from all over the world.
We were walking in Sansu Garden at night. The cypress trees were swaying in the wind and their branches and leaves were rustling.
"Night Rain at Su Tombs" is one of the eight scenic spots in Jiaxian County. Although I have been to the Sansu Garden Scenic Area many times, I have never experienced the scenery of "Su Tombs Night Rain". Zhang Duxing, the magistrate of Jiaxian County in the Qing Dynasty, once came here to experience it at night and wrote a poem: "The wind is rustling and the rain is rushing. The wind is strong but the clothes are not wet, and the rain is strong but the clothes are not wet."
We pay our respects After "Sansu Temple", we walked to the Shinto steps of "Sansu Tomb". A gust of autumn wind blew, and the moon appeared quietly like a shy Chang'e amidst everyone's exclamations. Literary friends have commented that this may be because "Sansu" was inspired, moved by our arrival, and called out the moon. I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was 9:21 p.m. Chunlin said to me, you are really right, the moon has really come out, it seems that we should really come to pay homage to "Sansu" this time. After that, our literary friends in Jiaxian County designated the night of August 16th as Pay a visit to "Sansu" schedule. Our literary friends in Jiaxian will be passed down from generation to generation in the future. I believe that "Three Su" will influence many writers in Jiaxian County. "Sansu" burial of Jiaxian is the honor of our Jiaxian people. The poetry of "San Su" not only affects us, but also affects many later generations of Jiaxian County who love literature.
Listening to Chun Lin’s impassioned speech, I felt an illusion that I had never experienced before. I seem to see that the future "Sansu Garden Scenic Area" will be opened to the public on the night of August 16th every year. At that time, the lights inside and outside Sansu Garden will be shining and the cultural atmosphere will be strong. We in Jiaxian County warmly invite literati and other tourists from all over the country to visit Sansu Garden to enjoy the moon and pay homage to "Sansu". I seem to imagine that during the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, "Sansu Garden Scenic Area" will be like a scene from "Along the River During Qingming Festival" with rich content. There is a bright moon hanging high inside and outside the "Sansu Garden Scenic Area", thousands of colorful lanterns, and thousands of tourists. People come like a tide to pay homage to "Sansu".
We went to the tomb of "Sansu Tomb" to offer incense and wine, and bowed to pay homage to "Sansu". When we sprinkled three cups of sacrificial wine in front of the "Three Su" offering table, a gust of wind blew and the surrounding cypress trees rustled. The sound made by the cypress leaves is like spring rain or sweet rain falling on the world. It can be described as a personal experience of "the sound of the wind, the rustle of the rain". The fruits on the cypress trees sprinkled down on us one after another with the sound of rain. We were a group of 9 people, as well as Director Ning Guanxiao and other staff members of the Sansu Garden Scenic Area. They were very surprised. I secretly thought: Could it be that this is the miracle of "Sufen Night Rain"?
At the end of our visit to "Sansu", the moon in the sky disappeared. I looked at my watch specifically and saw that the moon had been out for nearly 40 minutes. The time for us to pay homage to "Sansu" happened to appear at this time. When we finished paying homage to "Sansu", the moon disappeared and disappeared.
This year’s August 16th was the most meaningful night for our literary friends in Jiaxian County. Before we had finished our tour, in the multi-functional hall of Sansu Garden Scenic Area, literary friends took advantage of the fun to recite Su Shi's "Niannujiao. Chibi Nostalgia" and "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", etc. Everyone was still interested in "Sansu" and the cultural undertakings of Jiaxian County. The development of the company is based on a small amount of effort. When we came out of the Sansu Garden Scenic Area, it was already late at night when "the moon is missing, the trees are hanging on the trees, and the people are still at first."
