Poetry and Painting of Shimen River Shimen River

Huang Xiang, an imperial envoy in the Ming Dynasty, once went to Shimen and wrote a poem "Crossing the Shimen". As the cloud goes, the road is rugged and the water flows, and the pitch burns.

The cliff hangs a horse and worries about the rain, and the valley flies to see the clouds every day.

All the vines in the ancient cave are birds, and the new monument is half a turtle.

I saw the ferocious Shihu Mountain, and there were even more apes crying on both sides.

Guo Zi, Huang Xiang, was born in Nan 'an (now Dayu, Jiangxi) in Ming Dynasty. Jiajing Jinshi, official worship Shao Qing Taibu Temple. When Huang Xiang was appointed as the censor, he went to Enshi and Jianshi. There is no record of Shimen in "Records of Kuizhou County in the Seventh Year of Ming Dynasty" and "Guanliang Jindu". However, Huang Xiang, an imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty, passed through Shimen, leaving a poem, saying that Shimen was the only place where Jianghan passed to Shinan and Shu before the Qing Dynasty.

Shimen was the throat of Chu and Shu in ancient times. In the first year of Qingganlong, Jianshi County was transferred from Kuizhou, Sichuan Province to Shinan, Hubei Province, and Shimen was the key point for provincial and government access, so it was called "Shimenguan", with shops, ponds and official pavilions.

At the end of Jiaqing and the beginning of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, Ke Yu, a scholar from Jiashan, Zhejiang Province and a magistrate from Yidu County, was appointed by the court to inspect fields in Enshi, passing by Jianshi Shimen, and wrote a poem "Shizhou Shimen" to describe the natural landscape of Shimen:

The stone gate is connected with the stone house, and the structure is natural.

Is it possible to recruit seclusion alone, and it is more appropriate to learn health.

Cool is more shady than pine trees, and light is like the moon.

There are many scales and holes, who will share the pillow?

In the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, Chen Huizu, a native of Fuxian County, built a Buddhist temple on the right side of Shimen, and carved two statues of Tathagata and Galand in the temple, and inscribed the inscription of Shimen Buddhist Temple:

In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong, Huan was built in summer and April, and the rest was built in Nanfucheng, the Shimen at the beginning of Daojing. Shimen people, caves like doors, people come and go to find ways. People came down from Badong in the north of Shandong Province, Shi Hu, and went south to Sanliwei to Shihuan Bridge. The bridge is slightly southwest, five miles up and north to Shimen. Go out and enter the door, slightly to the north, the column hangs like an eaves, the natives build huts on the rocks, and there is rice under the eaves for pedestrians to take a nap. Trees stand under the cliff, and the history can be counted from the Shi Huan Bridge. The west is opposite to the east, and it can echo, but it is uneven. At that time, before I reached Shihuan Bridge, there was a golden bun at the height of Shimen, which looked like a Buddha on earth, a white beard scarf and a waiter, and the branches and leaves shone like golden pills. Instruct followers and say, "There is nothing to see." When you get to the bridge, dismount and have a look. It's still on the road. And in Shimen, there is nothing. After spending the night in heather, two monks saw a dream and said, "I am in rags, and I would like to give up my new clothes." Make a promise and feel it. What he saw on this day was illusory, and he dreamed. Because it belongs to Sun Yicheng, it is different from my mother's wife. "It's a temple," said Taitai. That is, the temple is on the Shimen cliff. On the right side of the house is an image carved with stone, which you can see. One is Tathagata, and the other is Galand. Next to it is a small hall where officials can rest when they visit the temple. Finished, when the stone. I am not good at Buddhism, but the Buddha is for me, and the branches and leaves magnify the light. As the Buddha said, there is a so-called karma; Stone is the door, there has been no Buddha for thousands of years, and the Buddha is now in the temple. If there is so-called karma in Shimen, it is also human. My husband and I don't care about the city, and there is no reason to go to Shimen, not to Shimen, or to see the Buddha's light, that is, there is no reason to build a temple. Zi didn't talk about monsters, just said "as on it, as on its left and right". What I have seen so far is not direct, but it is like a husband. Is it crazy to confuse the world? Want is also karma. It's a eulogy: "Immortality is life. If you don't live, you must live. " . Buddha is in people's eyes, but light is in trees. Opposite Shimen Shihu, there is no rest in the stream. Tathagata also cherish the money of sandals, and Galand stopped here. It is said that there is no fan with passers-by, and this monument will be rubbed in the Millennium.

Chen Huizu is from Qiyang, Hunan. According to the students, the foreign minister of the Ministry was awarded and moved to the doctor's degree. Awarded the magistrate of Chen Zhou, Henan. Reluctantly transferred to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and also led the governor of Zhejiang. In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong, he was also the governor of Huguang, and in the forty-fourth year, he transferred Chen Huizu to the governor of Henan. In February of 1948, Emperor Qianlong ordered him to "commit suicide" for corruption. Chen Huizu crossed the Shimen River when he was concurrently governor of Huguang in the 37th year of Qianlong, and built a Buddhist temple in the 39th year. Chen Huizu is an important official of the imperial court. Under his influence, officials of past dynasties began to write poems in Shimen River.

Wu, Zuo Du Yu Shi during the years of Shanghai Nanhui Jinshi and Qianlong, wrote many poems in Enshi. His article "Qingjiang River is the Tuobian of Beijing" describes the origin, flow direction and tributaries of Qingjiang River in detail. When he passed Jianshi Shimen, he wrote a poem "Shimen":

Before crossing Shimen Beach, I had dinner in Shimen Cave yesterday.

Thousands of peaks meet thousands of peaks, and white bones stand in the cold.

There are two cliffs facing each other, so there is no way to carry them.

I roar from time to time, and the four valleys are sonorous.

Calendar is like a pile of Peng, which is abrupt and tiring in eastern Guangxi.

Whoever chisels the mess will decorate it.

Solemn demonstration, gold and silver halo whip.

Double-edged along the border, go out and fly quickly.

It is not difficult to see from the content of the poem that this poem was written 39 years after Qianlong, when Chen Huizu had built the Shimen Buddhist Temple here.

In the forty years of Qianlong, Jia Simo, a juren from Tongliang, Sichuan, became the magistrate of Xuanen County, passing through Shimen, and inscribed "The Best of Heather" on the cliff on the right side of Shimen, becoming a fairyland through the ages.

At about the same time, an official in life is unknown, Shi Minggui, passed by Jianshi Shimen and wrote two poems, one entitled "Near Shimen":

It will enter Shimen Road and several peaks will be inserted into the clouds.

Li Zhuo is poor in apes and green in solitary temples.

Is it Kuafu Yi, or Pangu Tomb?

Savages call stone drums, like clouds.

Poems inscribed on tablets, with different languages, have been circulated in Shi Hu.

The poet said to himself, "There are several peaks on the back of Shimen Mountain. The natives call them Shigu. The epitaph, all called Shi Hu, is not as good as Shigu. " Shi Minggui's "epitaph" may be Chen Huizu's "Stone Gate Buddhist Temple Inscription". Another poem by Shi Minggui is "You Shimen", which describes in detail the wonders of Shimen:

The cold stream gurgled out at the foot of the stone gate.

On the other side of Shimen, it takes only seven miles to sing a song.

Xiaxian Bridge, walk slowly.

When taking a nap and moving the treadmill, I am still full of energy.

Up and down, support the boy servant.

The concave part is slightly, and there are eaves teeth on the top.

Look up at the blue sky and overlook the deep valley.

A few words were curious, but it was almost impossible to recover afterwards.

When the stone sinus opened, the gods built it.

You sting dragons and snakes, flying bats.

Step by step to win, adjacent to the Chinese exclusion room.

At the end of a strange road, I walked brightly along the mountainside.

Ma Gu scattered her arms in spring and visited her eyes three times in autumn.

It is strange to get one, but it is not strange if it is not strange.

Wandering westward, the good scenery is not enough.

Infatuated homecoming, three days at Shimen lodge.

During the Qianlong period, Fan Shuzhi, a juren from Jianshi and an instructor in Jiangxia County (now Wuchang, Hubei Province), also wrote a poem entitled "Feeling Old at Shimen":

Shimen is full of melancholy and Cui Wei, and the five colors are reflected on the stage.

The satrap supervises his own officials, and Zhong Cheng says he wants to see the Tathagata.

Knowing that it is false and unreasonable, I hope that prosperity will grab the dust.

What is left is the true face of Kuanglu, and the mountains and rivers are still beautiful.

Fan Shuzhi believes that Chen Huizu's so-called seeing the Tathagata in his dream is obviously illusory and contrary to common sense. At the same time, it can be seen from Fan Shuzhi's poems that the Shimen Buddhist Temple at that time had been destroyed by the war, and there was no prosperity in the past, leaving only the beautiful natural landscape of Shimen. Jia Qingzhi's and Daoguang's records about Shimen Buddhist Temple are probably based on the inscription of Chen Huizu.

During the seventh and thirteenth years of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, Bao Guixing, Anhui Jinshi and right assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, served as a scholar heather and presided over the second interview in Shizhou. When he crossed Jianshi Shimen, he wrote a poem "Shimen Song". The preface gives a vivid and concrete description of Shimen. His poems imitate Yuefu style, use myths and gallop imagination, and at the same time use various artistic techniques, and the words are fantastic and catchy. Preface and poem:

At the beginning of construction, there was a place called "Shimen" forty miles southwest of Longtanping. Feng Wan came back and the cliff disappeared completely. The entrances to the two cliffs are only a few miles away, while the ramp is more than 5000 steps away. Crossing a stone bridge, wading across a stream, pulling radishes up stairs. There are three holes, and the strange ghost works. Cave stones hang down like clouds, like stalactites, indescribable; The waterfall in the second hole is like a pearl foil, which is particularly enjoyable; Another hole is Shimen. The stone at the entrance of the cave is the second door, which is in danger of being closed by the lady. Passers-by all wore holes and looked like flying immortals. There are dangerous peaks and caves on all sides, purple spots and green refutation, and the sky is ethereal. I have traveled all over the country all my life, and it is rare to see such a fairyland. I passed by suddenly when I came, but I didn't see it. On my way home, I took my nephew Park Fu to swim. Do the Shimen song of Jianshi.

Chushan is free. He is as agile as an ape.

Going south, refusing to stop, hungry birds are empty.

* What can the snake god do, go? Awkward.

The emperor sent kua's second son to fill the mountain with caves and seas.

The mountain is ancient and undeveloped, and the stone was thrown by the emperor yesterday.

Five colors have been practiced, and double pills have been blocked.

Wanshan naturally dare not run here.

One kind of dragon has a constricted neck, which looks like a tiger and a leopard, with one shoulder overlapping the other.

Yan Dan and Dai He embrace each other, and Qi Ao is like three holes.

Clouds turn over stones, greasy milk mixed with cold saliva.

Jade foil sprinkled with real pearl spring, Yushu coral whip soaked in ice.

The lid of the jar is cracked, and pedestrians wear it.

Fly like a fairy.

I was dumbfounded by the billions of cold spits.

Looking back at the break of the two cliffs, there is a waterfall in the green forest.

There are five thousand ramps around the spiral, and there is smoke on the flying beam.

At first, I listened to the piano in a hurry and returned to Japan with respect for filial piety.

The diaphragm floats in the sunset, and I still hate the pavilion officials for urging me to return.

I've been in Kyushu for a long time. I'm going to see the magnificent scenery in southern Beijing.

Easy to take big risks, explore strange things to complement famous mountains and great ambitions.

In the third year of Daoguang, the supervisor of Changzhou County, Jiangsu Province served as a county official in Dayanling County, Jianshi County, passing through Shimen, and wrote a poem "The Rhyme of Daojing Shimen and Xiangshan". This poem is a five-character ancient poem, describing the natural scenery of Shimen. At this time, not only the Shimen Buddhist Temple ceased to exist, but also the stone tablet could not be found.

The road never passes through the stone gate, which is deep and scary.

It's ridiculous to tell ancient stories, but this is a visit to the past.

Overlooking the river and facing the wall.

There are few passing horses and chariots, and monuments are hard to find.

The snow is high and the new sunrise is thin.

Vines hang down, and pine and fir trees are lifelike.

Explore the strange longitudinal grand view, purple and green and bright.

The last poem of Shimen River recorded in the literature, Shimen Nostalgia, was written in the 21st year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty by Juren of Guangshan County, Henan Province and Yuan Jinghui, the magistrate of Jianshi County.

Jia 'an Yaofeng is green, which is caused by Shimen Zheng Xiaoli.

Confucianism smugly opened the soup net, and the Buddha had already heard about it.

This cave is covered with moss patterns, and the bridge is full of flowing water.

Since then, I have been in a daze and haven't seen it all my life.

Yuan Jinghui's poetic style likes to add notes. He commented after the sentence "Confucians are complacent": "Bao Xue, a former assistant minister, made the school scholar Shinan return to Shimen, and he respected his life. From time to time, a savage offers monkeys. He is agile and good at dancing. Public order and good customs are to return it to the mountain. The monkey looked back, like a worship. " After the sentence "Buddha once heard that he was stationed in * *", there was a note saying: "See the Shimen story of former artist Chen Dazhong." After "Man Bridge", the note is "A Shiman Bridge". Yuan Jinghui's poems are mainly about nostalgia, recording the story of sergeant Bao Guixing releasing macaques up the mountain when Shinan passed through Shimen and Chen Huizu's comments on building Shimen Buddhist Temple. These poems are full of Confucian benevolence and Buddhist concept of cause and effect.

With the passage of time and social changes, Shimen River is no longer the throat of Chu and Shu, but the beauty of Shimen remains, and the cliff stone carving of "Shinan is the best" is still hanging on the cliff of Shimen.
