Appreciation of the Ninth Annotation of Journey to the West
The poem says: a big capital country, eight waters around four mountains. How many emperors have been here? In ancient times, it was known as Chang 'an.
Note: Chang 'an, a big country in Shaanxi, has extraordinary strength and is a treasure trove of geomantic omen through which eight rivers pass. Many emperors built their capitals here, and Chang 'an has been the focus of discussion since ancient times.
Bashui refers to the eight rivers flowing around An 'an: Weihe River, Jinghe River, Fenghe River, Laohe River, Lianhe River, Chanhe River and Bahe River, which belong to the Yellow River system.
This list shows Chang 'an, a big country in Shaanxi Province, which was the capital of emperors in previous dynasties. Since the Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms have been full of flowers and eight waters have flowed around the city. Thirty-six Liu Hua Alleys and seventy-two orchestral buildings. On the map of Huayi, it is the best in the world. It's really weird, Katsunokata Today, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne and changed his name to Longji Zhenguan. At this time, he has been enthroned for thirteen years, and now he is thirty years old. Not to mention that there was a hero who brought peace and stability to the country before he drove, and he competed with Jieshi who started a business for Xinjiang.
On the bank of the Jinghe River outside Chang 'an, there are two wise men: one is a fisherman named Zhang Shao; One is a woodcutter named Li Ding. They are two scholars who failed to pass the exam, and mountain people who can study. One day, in Chang 'an, I sold firewood on my shoulder and bought carp in my basket. We went to the pub together, ate half a bottle and walked back along the banks of Jinghe River. Zhang Weiwei way:
"Li Xiong, I think fame is because of the name of the body; Those who take advantage die for profit; Those knighted people sleep with tigers in their arms; Thank you, Sleeve Snake. Counting it, it is not as good as our beautiful scenery, carefree and sweet, passing by. " Li Ding said, "Brother Zhang is right. But only your water show is not as good as my mountain green. " Zhang Shao said, "You are not as beautiful as my water show.
Note 1: Here are two wise men, fisherman Zhang Shao and woodcutter Li Ding, to talk about who is better in the dispute between mountains and green hills. In fact, there is no answer, and each has its own advantages. The dispute between the two men is a dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, and it is also a dispute between dynamic and static. The current represents movement, and the green hills represent stillness. In fact, the deepest extension of movement and stillness is Taoism and Buddhism, and movement represents the agility of Taoism.
Silence represents the emptiness of Buddhism, but one thing in common is the need for meditation.
Note 2: The main reason for Zhang Shao, a fisherman, talking with Li Ding, a woodcutter, was to draw King Jinghe, and then King Tang, so that the King Tang could also participate in the study plan of Buddhist scriptures, and the three kings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism began the study plan of Buddhist scriptures.
