Two short articles about the reading rhythm of Ai Lian, the inscription on a shabby house.

The rhythm of reading the inscription on a shabby house is not high, but it is famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it is spiritual. This is a shabby room, but I am virtuous. Moss marks/upper steps are green, grass color/entering the curtain is green. There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white people when communicating. You can tune the plain qin and read the Golden Sutra. There is no confusion of silk and bamboo, and there is no labor of writing documents. Nanyang/Zhugelu, Xishu/Ziyunting. Confucius said: What's wrong with it?

The reading rhythm of Ailian said: water and land/flowers of grass and trees, lovely ones/very sweet flowers. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemums alone; since Li Tang came, the world loved peonies. I only love the lotus which comes out of the mud but is not stained, washes the clear ripples without being demonic, is straight in the middle, straight on the outside, does not spread out, has no branches, has a far-reaching fragrance, is clear, and is a pure plant that can be seen from a distance, but cannot be seen from a distance. The near-obscene play is called chrysanthemum, which is the flower of recluse; peony, the flower of wealth; lotus, the flower of gentleman. Alas! The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of after Tao; the love of lotus, who can share it with you; the love of peony, it is suitable for everyone.

4. Text content and thoughts after reading "The Story of Ai Lian"

Thoughts after reading "The Story of Ai Lian" It happened that during this classic reading training, the teacher arranged the article "Shuo Ai Lian". , among many classic Chinese studies articles, I fell in love with it deeply. Zhou Dunyi started with "Flowers of water and land plants, the most lovely ones are even sweet potatoes", which not only pointed out that the lotus in "The Theory of Love and Lotus" also belongs to water and land plants. The flower also points out the loveliness of the lotus, which is just one of the "very beautiful" ones. With such an opening, the writing is extraordinary and eye-catching. The sentence "Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loves chrysanthemums" further clarifies the meaning of the title. Tao Yuanming I can express my feelings by loving chrysanthemums, but why can’t I only love lotus? "Since the Li and Tang Dynasties, people have loved peonies very much." It seems like a repetition, but it actually deepens the meaning. Moreover, this sentence is included in the text, making the contrast stronger and paving the way for the nobility of the lotus. Zhou Dunyi wanted to maintain a consistent He is noble and would rather live in Nanshan forever. He wants to be a gentleman who can emerge from the mire but not be stained in the world. Then, he goes directly to the topic "I only love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained, washes the lotus without being evil, and connects the inside with the outside." Straight, neither vines nor branches, the fragrance becomes clearer from a distance, and the pavilion is clean and planted. It can be seen from a distance but not played with." The language of writing lotus, the heart of loving lotus, and the ambition of lotus can be said to be completed in one go. It seems to be a direct reference to lotus. Description, in fact, every word is expressed through the lotus surface. The sophistication of this writing is really amazing. Reading this sentence, it can be said that there is no chance to breathe. The language is otherworldly, and the aftertaste is long, the more The more you taste it, the more you taste it. At the end of the chapter, Zhou Dunyi uses flowers as metaphors to let the characteristics of flowers be compared to people. Although they are ordinary, they give people a special taste when reading them. "I call chrysanthemums, the flowers that live in seclusion; peonies, the flowers that are precious." "Lotus, the gentleman of flowers." The context can be said to be integrated without any trace. The author uses flowers as metaphors to describe Tao Yuanming's escape from the world and the precious mentality of everyone seeking glory. It is vivid and lifelike, and it is unforgettable. . Then he let out a deep sigh: "The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard of after Tao. Who can share the love of lotus? The love of peony is suitable for everyone." Yes, there are so many in the world of mortals. Can a person escape from the world in order to seek truth? It can be seen that Zhou Dunyi's mentality of not following the crowd and only pursuing tranquility is very valuable in the busy world. The lotus flower can be called a true gentleman. It lives in a dirty environment but does not follow the popular trend. Showing off oneself, doesn't this fully demonstrate its innocence, non-community with common people, and respectable noble qualities? The author uses the lotus to express his attitude towards life. He neither wants to passively avoid the world like Tao Yuanming, nor wants to pursue fame, glory and wealth like the world does. He is like the lotus, like an upright gentleman, "unstained" in the "mud" , always maintain a clean conduct and upright character. Shouldn't our life also be positive, strive for progress, and not follow the crowd or follow the trend? "On Loving the Lotus", this article is high-spirited, elegant and refined, concise and catchy. Every time you read it, you will have a different feeling. I love the lotus that is unsullied from the mud. It is the same on the outside and behaves well. Every time I see it, lotus, I naturally think of the popular saying "It comes out of the mud but is not stained, and the lotus is clear without being evil". It shows not only the beauty of form, but also the beauty of moral character. This kind of beauty is It is worthy of praise, learning and development by every generation of us. I believe that the beauty of lotus will last forever in our hearts. 5. The Theory of Love and Lotus, Ancient Text

The original text of "The Theory of Love and Lotus":

Flowers of water, land and vegetation are very lovely. Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang, people have loved peonies very much. I only love the lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained; it is clear in the ripples without being demonic; it is straight in the middle and straight in the outside; it does not creep or branch; its fragrance becomes clearer from a distance; its pavilion is clean and planted; it can be viewed from a distance but not played with.

I say chrysanthemum, the flower that represents seclusion; peony, the flower that represents wealth; lotus, the flower that represents the gentleman. Alas! The love of chrysanthemum is rarely heard of after Tao. Who can share the love of the lotus? The love of peony is suitable for everyone!

Translation:

There are many herbaceous and woody flowers on water and land that are worth loving. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since Li's Tang Dynasty, people in the world have loved peonies very much. But I only like lotus flowers growing out of the mud but not being polluted, and being washed by clear water but not looking glamorous. Its stem is hollow inside and straight outside, with no vines or branches. Its fragrance spreads far and wide, and it stands straight and clean in the water. People can only watch it from a distance but cannot play with it.

I think the chrysanthemum is the hermit among flowers; the peony is the rich and noble among flowers; and the lotus is the noble gentleman among flowers.

well! Tao Yuanming rarely heard of his love for chrysanthemums. Who else loves lotus like me? Of course, many people love peonies!

"The Theory of Love of Lotus" is a prose written by Zhou Dunyi, a Neo-Confucian scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Song Xining (AD 1071), Zhou Dunyi came to Xingzi (now revoked, originally under Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province) County) was appointed as the magistrate of Nankang. After Zhou Dunyi came to Xingzi, he dug a pond on the east side of the military office and planted lotus flowers in it.

When Zhou Dunyi came to Xingzi, he was already in his twilight years (55 years old) and ill. Therefore, after dinner, he would either be alone or invite friends from his staff to enjoy flowers and drink tea by the pool, and write I downloaded the prose "Ai Lian Shuo".

In the sixth year of Chunxi (1179), Zhu Xi was appointed as the governor of Nankang County. He once praised Zhou Dunyi in Lianxi Academy in Lushan for not colluding with the dark forces throughout his life. Huang Tingjian also praised He is of very high character.

Later, people in Ganzhou built the Lianxi Temple in memory of him, and carved Zhou Dunyi's image and some articles on the stone wall. At this time, Zhou Dunyi's great-grandson Zhou Zhiqing came to Jiujiang and presented the ink copy of "The Theory of Love of the Lotus" written by his great-grandfather as a gift. So the Ganzhou people copied the text on the wall next to the lotus pond in the academy, and it has been passed down through the ages.
