Chapter 481 The monk on the phone
Chapter 481 The monk who calls his cell phone
"I seem to have heard a saying, "Tanzhe Temple first, and then the Forbidden City." Chen Mingluo put on a pair of sunglasses, looked up at the sunlight shining through the gap between the dense leaves, and turned around and said.
Yang Ji'er and Liu Ruyan supported each other side by side and followed behind.
After Chen Mingluo's spirit gathering array nourished, Yang Ji'er woke up in the morning and had no sense of fatigue after the fierce battle last night. She naturally felt very comfortable. Therefore, when she saw Liu Ruyan, she was in a good mood. She did not give Liu Ruyan any expressions like she did when she was jealous of Chen Mingluo last night.
Yang Jier believes that she can't do things that are jealous under normal conditions.
"The Dharma statue is like Nirvana, all because of the great dream of living in the mountains. If it weren't for the Ming Jin, I would like to say that the True Round and the Altar were absent." Liu Ruyan couldn't help but read it out when she saw such a poem engraved on the stone tablet beside the road. Her voice was quite nice and the artistic conception of the poem was also good, which attracted some tourists around to stop.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan covered her better, otherwise she would have been recognized.
"The poems of Kangxi, the saint of Qing Dynasty, are acceptable," said Chen Mingluo.
"How do you know? Kangxi can write poetry?" Yang Jier obviously didn't know much about this, and immediately asked in surprise when she heard this.
"Of course Kangxi could write poetry, and he wrote quite a lot. Well, if you use lilac poems, you can also count as poetry-" Chen Mingluo obviously had no good feelings for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, so this comment was naturally a bit harsh. " Speaking of which, Kangxi's poetry and prose skills are still good, which is comparable to that of Mr. Zhang Zongchang, the first poet of the Republic of China."
"Zhang Zongchang, isn't that a warlord? He can write poetry?" Yang Jier has heard of Zhang Zongchang. It seems that Shaw Brothers' movies made a warlord or something in the past, which is an allusion to Zhang Zongchang.
Zhang Zongchang is known as the general of the Three Unknown General. One does not know how many soldiers he has, and not know how much money he has, and the Three Unknown how many women he has, can be regarded as a famous figure in the early years of the Republic of China.
However, Yang Jier really doesn't know about Zhang Zongchang's poems.
Chen Mingluo thought of this person and felt a little smiled, so he said, "Zhang Zongchang's poem is very famous. I'll read one for you. Well, Daming Lake, Ming Lake is big, there are lotus flowers in Daming Lake, and toads on the lotus flowers, and they poke and jump up."
"Puchi--" Yang Jier and Liu Ruyan couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Speaking of which, Chen Mingluo is really a shame. Although Zhang Zongchang's limerick poems are interesting, they are also really funny. He equated Kangxi's poems with such funny poems, which makes him feel a little wronged.
To be fair, the kind written by Kangxi can be called poetry.
Of course, whether it is well written is another matter. After all, although the ancients were relatively snobbish in this regard, they would not just praise the shit. Although Kangxi was an emperor of a generation, he was still relatively thin and far less exaggerated than those corrupt officials in later generations.
Speaking of which, Zhang Zongchang is also a character. Why did his poems have a great influence at that time and could be passed down to later generations? In addition to being a warlord and famous person, the more important reason is that his poems are full of bandits, very alternative, with a strong sense of humor, and have comedy effects, which makes you not happy.
However, he has a song "I also write a song about the wind", which is a bit interesting, "The cannons are opened and the mother is blown away, and the power is gathered in the country and returns to my hometown. I count the heroes Zhang Zongchang, how can I get a giant whale and swallow Fusang?"
Not to mention anything else, just relying on the courage of Teng Fusang, it shows that the older generation of warlords are still relatively smart in national integrity. As for the younger generation of kids Han Fuqu and others who are willing to be traitors, then wait.
It is said that the drought was severe that year, the crops were dry, the particles were not harvested, the people were displaced, and there was a difficulty in returning home. Zhang Zongchang saw that the people were suffering from serious difficulties in their lives and that taxes could not be raised, so he ordered the rain.
He himself was also very pious and burned incense and kowtow himself, but it still didn't rain after several consecutive days. He was very annoyed and ordered the army to fire at the rain god in the sky.
I don’t know if the clouds were shaken or it should have rained that day. After a burst of cannons, it really started to rain in the sky. Zhang Zongchang was very proud and thought that his sincerity moved the God of Rain. He was so arrogant for a long time. His story of "cannons hit God" was once a strange story in Jinan.
"I guess this is similar to artificial rainfall-" Liu Ruyan smiled with a smile on her lips.
Chen Mingluo's belly was filled with a lot of jokes, so along the way, Liu Ruyan and Yang Ji'er always laughed constantly and were very infected. Some people around him even thought that Chen Mingluo was a tour guide, and he had not dissipated around him. He listened to his casual words about things that were not available, which was also quite interesting.
Tanzhe Temple is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital. The temple faces north and south, facing away from Mount Baozhu. There are nine tall peaks around it, which are horseshoe-shaped rings, as if under the support of nine giant dragons.
The tall mountain peaks block the cold current that comes from the northwest, so the climate here is warm and humid. The temple is towering, with towering ancient trees and pagodas. The temple buildings are cleverly arranged according to the terrain, staggered and arranged. The environment is extremely beautiful during the period of emerald bamboo and famous flowers.
The three of them walked along the way and saw the sound of the ancient temples endlessly, and the strange fragrance in the mountains was swaying. It was indeed a good place.
Tanzhe Temple is huge in scale, and the surrounding forests and mountain fields under the jurisdiction of Tanzhe Temple have a total area of more than 120 hectares.
The halls are built according to the heights of the mountain, and are arranged in an orderly manner.
Chen Mingluo stopped, waited for Yang Jier and Liu Ruyan to come, and said to them, "The Forbidden City has 9999 and a half rooms, while Tanzhe Temple had 999 and a half rooms in the Qing Dynasty during its heyday, which was like a microcosm of the Forbidden City. It is said that when the Forbidden City was built in the early days of the dynasty, it was built in imitation of Tanzhe Temple."
The buildings of Tanzhe Temple maintain the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties and are the largest ancient temple complex in the suburbs of Beijing. The entire complex fully reflects the aesthetic principles of Chinese ancient buildings. It runs vertically with a central axis, and the left and right sides are basically symmetrical, making the entire complex appear regular, rigorous, clear main and secondary, and clear levels.
Outside the temple, there are many buildings such as the upper and lower pagoda courtyard, the east and west Guanyin Cave, the Anle Yanshou Hall, and the Longtan. They are like stars scattered in the moon, forming a tourist scenic spot with a variety of radius and different interests.
At this time, in the eyes of Chen Mingluo and others, the palaces were majestic, the courtyards were quiet, the halls, halls, altars, and rooms were unique, the scenery was extraordinary, ancient trees, famous trees, flowers and bamboos were spread all over the temple, rockery was covered with green waters, and the flowing cups were complemented by red walls and green tiles, and the eaves were hidden among the green pines and cypresses. The hall was neat and solemn and magnificent.
"It's indeed a beautiful scenery on earth." Yang Ji'er couldn't help but exclaim.
Liu Ruyan also felt very happy. Today, she came out, mainly to communicate with Chen Mingluo and Yang Jier, contact each other, and consolidate everyone's friendship. However, she didn't expect that Chen Mingluo was very excited and took her and Yang Jier all the way, with her witty words, which made the two laugh and the atmosphere very harmonious, which made her feel very rare.
Especially Yang Ji'er, when she first came, Liu Ruyan could feel that she was not very cold or even a little repulsive about her. But now, Yang Ji'er has long forgotten this emotion, holding her arm and smiling so hard that she leaned back and forth. This is all due to Chen Mingluo's language charm.
Walking further, I met a real tour guide who was explaining the origin of Tanzhe Temple to a group of tourists, so they came over and listened to it.
"There is a legend in the name of the temple in Tanzhe Temple. At that time, the monk Huayan Sect, a high-ranking monk of the Buddhist Huayan Sect, lived in the north of Youzhou City. Many believers enthusiastically donated to help him establish a sect in Youzhou. Therefore, the ancestor Huayan Sect went to find Zhang Renyuan, the governor of Youzhou at that time, and asked him to build a temple. Zhang Renyuan told the ancestor Huayan that how much land the monk wanted, and has the address he had chosen? So the ancestor Huayan took Zhang Renyuan to the land of the Jiang family and the Liu family near Jiafu Temple in Tanzhe Mountain. Zhang Renyuan told the ancestor Huayan that this was a land with a master, and he was not easy to make a decision without authorization, so he called the landlords of Jiang and Liu to negotiate." The tour guide was a young girl with a very good voice, "The two landlords didn't want to give it, but for Zhang Renyuan's sake, he told the ancestor Huayan, how much land the monk wanted? It should not be too much. If it was too much, we would have no food to eat in the future."
"The Huayan Patriarch knew that they were one of the top landlords in the area and had countless fertile lands, so he took out the blanket covering his cushion and said to the two of them, "Not too much, no, can the two donors cut this blanket with me?" When the landlord surnamed Jiang and Liu saw that the blanket was only the size of a palm, they agreed. So the Huayan Patriarch threw the blanket in his hand into the air, and saw that the blanket was getting bigger and bigger in the air and it was not falling to the ground for a long time. After a while, the blanket was so big that it covered the sky and the sun, covering several mountains."
"So the Huayan ancestor built a temple here and expanded the temple. The locals privately called this temple the Jianzhe Temple. After a thousand years, Jianzhe Temple gradually evolved into Tanzhe Temple."
After hearing the tour guide's words, the tourists were talking and said that they didn't know that there was such a story. It seemed that Tanzhe Temple also has a very good origin. It is necessary to burn two more incense sticks to worship later.
Chen Mingluo and the other two also planned to go to the temple to burn incense and other things, so they walked inside together.
At this moment, a monk appeared in front of him, and he was almost colliding with them.
The monk walked out of the house and stood under the pine tree outside. He flipped under the monk's robe and took out the latest Motorola phone, opened the lid and started talking loudly.
"Hey, what a rich monk--" Chen Mingluo couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
