Wen/Mei Village

Everyone in the plum blossom world knows that there are many places to enjoy plum blossoms in Hangzhou, and there are many plum blossoms in Xiaogushan of West Lake in Hangzhou, where there is a crane pavilion and the tomb of Mr. Lin Hejing, where Lin Bu (that is, Lin Hejing), a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, was buried. At that time, he planted plums here, wrote many famous sayings, and was also famous for the legendary story of "Mei Wife Crane".

According to historical records, Lin Bu (967 ~ 1024) was born in Qiantang, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou) and was a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. In his early years, he traveled to Jianghuai and other places, and then lived in seclusion under the lonely mountain of West Lake in Hangzhou. Because I am at home all the year round, I take pleasure in planting plums and raising cranes, and because I am said to have never been married, there is a story of "Plum Wife Crane". Until today, many people know the story of "Mei Wife Crane", and even our current dictionary "Ci Hai" records the entry about "Mei Wife Crane" in this way:

"In the Song Dynasty, Lin Bu lived in seclusion in the lonely mountain of West Lake in Hangzhou. He has no wife and children. He grows plums and raises cranes to amuse himself, and is called "Plum Wife Crane".

In fact, Lin Bu is famous for his outstanding Yongmei poems. He lived in seclusion in a lonely mountain, devoted himself to farming and planting plums, and wrote a lot of famous sentences by Yongmei, among which "Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden" was well-known after its publication, which caused a sensation in the poetry circle:

All fragrant people shake off their beauty and occupy all the amorous feelings of the small garden;

"Mottled shadows hang obliquely on the clear shallow water, and their fragrance spreads peacefully in the moonlight dusk."

The frost bird wants to peek first, but the pink butterfly knows that it will break its soul;

Fortunately, there are micro-songs to compare, and there is no need for sandalwood gold statues.

This poem not only wiped out the clear shadow and charm of plum blossom in a quiet environment, but also integrated the quality and personality of plum blossom. Among them, the two sentences of "thin shadow" and "fragrance" became Yongmei's eternal swan song, which aroused many literati's reverie. Since then, Yongmei has become more and more popular, such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Lu You, Xin Qiji, Yang Wanli and Mei. They have written many poems. Su Shi even took this poem by Lin Bu as an example to express his feelings and let his son Su Guo learn. With the prevalence of Yongmei in the Song Dynasty, the names of Lin Bu and Gushan Plum Blossom became hot in the literary world, and appeared: Chu Shi's home is in the bright moon in Gushan (Tao's poem), Gushan Banchun (Zhao Meng's poem), Lonely Man Singing Snow in Gushan (Wen Zhiming's poem) and so on. Wang Yi, a poet in the late Ming Dynasty, had the idea of "not being soaked by dust at all, and the fence was covered with grass".

In fact, the plum in the lonely mountain was already in Bai Juyi's poems in the Tang Dynasty. When Bai Juyi left Hangzhou, he wrote a poem "Remembering Plum Blossoms in Hangzhou, Sending Small Xie Fa to Nostalgia":

Stuffed in Yuhang for three years, I have been drunk with Meihua several times;

Wuxiang Temple is as snowy as snow, and Gushan Garden is as beautiful as makeup.

This proves that there were plum blossoms in the lonely mountain of West Lake in Hangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, but why did Lin Bu's poems later cover up the white poems? This is not only because there are many good sentences in our poems, but also because of the spread of "Mei Wife Crane". In addition, it is also related to Lin Bu's personality, social environment and political background at that time.

More than 40 years ago, in Guangming Daily 196 1 2 1 March, Mr. Xia, a famous Chinese poetess and professor of Zhejiang University, published an article entitled "Plum Blossoms in the Dongfeng World", which mentioned some situations in Lin Bu.

Lin Bu lived in seclusion in a lonely mountain before his death. At that time, it was the magistrate of Hangzhou, and every year it was sponsored by words to send some millet and silks to Lin Bu. After Lin Bu died in the sixth year of Tiansheng (1028), the emperor at that time specially gave posthumous title "Mr. He Jing", and Lin's reputation became even greater ... The reason was that the former old emperor Song Zhenzong was placed on the palace gate and Mount Tai by the minister Wang Qinruo in order to save his prestige lost in foreign wars. Later, Song Zhenzong, the old emperor, really led the civil and military officials and pretended to kneel on the "gobbledygook". In the turbulent and corrupt political affairs, some ministers and shameless literati used the "heavenly book worships Zen" to express their admiration. It can be seen that the farce of "sealing Zen with heavenly books" was unpopular at that time, and corruption in the political affairs of the DPRK was a serious social problem! Lin Bu expressed his dissatisfaction with the chaotic court, which wasted people and money.

Mr. Xia also thinks that although Lin Bu lives in seclusion in the mountains, he is not a man who has never lived in the world. After Lin Bu's death, Song Renzong named him "Mr. He Jing" just because he was famous and respected by the people and local doctors, which is not unreasonable.

As for Lin Bu's "no wife, no children" and "plum as a wife and crane as a son", it is a legend and a much-told story. Especially in today's plum industry of our nation, we need to know more about the legends and stories in this history. It should be noted here that Ms. Wang Xufeng, a writer in Hangzhou and winner of Mao Dun Literature Prize today, wrote "Chu Shi Lin Hejing" in the second book of her intellectual trip to the south of the Yangtze River. She has such a meaningful sentence in her article:

"It is said that only if Lin Hejing doesn't marry can there be a saying of' plum wife and crane', but I finally have a question: Can the person who only loves flowers and birds and feathers all his life really write Sauvignon Blanc?

Wu, the mountains are green, and the green hills on both sides of the strait meet, racing against time. You are full of tears, I am full of tears, my heart is not tied, and it is as difficult as the tide.

I think Chu Shi and Lin Hejing also have tears and love. Mei is cute and cranes are cute, but people are the cutest after all. I once learned from Mr. Lin Zhengqiu, an expert in Hangzhou history, that Lin Hejing really has love, not only love, but also marriage, not only marriage, but also descendants, which is much bigger, with one in two. One is in Fenghua, Zhejiang, with a prosperous population. The other one is worse. It crossed the ocean and went to Japan, which is almost a legend, but before it was finished in Japan, it became the ancestor of Japanese steamed bread. However, Fenghua and two Japanese families successfully joined hands in Hangzhou a few years ago and were photographed under the plum tree of the grandfather of Gushan, as evidenced by Professor Lin holding hands. This is really a root-seeking culture. As for its academic endurance, it depends on historians to let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. As far as I'm concerned, I hope the hermit has a future. A hermit who loves others is not as trustworthy as a hermit who loves others ... "

This passage is both lyrical and reasonable. Clarified and corrected the long-standing legend that Lin Bu had never been married, lived in seclusion in a lonely mountain, took Mei as his wife and crane as his son, and restored the human touch of normal people for his husband. ...
