Banners that can't be knocked in the temple

There is a word called "morning bell and evening drum", which means that Buddhist temples play drums at night and ring the bell to tell the time in the morning. Buddhist temples can't seem to ring bells at night. Ouyang Xiu once criticized a Tang poem, which wrote that the bells in the temple at night were unrealistic. This poem is Zhang Ji's famous work "a night-mooring near maple bridge": Jiang Feng sleeps on a cold night. At the lonely cold mountain temple outside Suzhou, the midnight bell reached the passenger ship.

This poem is about a poet who stopped at Qiao Feng outside Suzhou on a late autumn night. Wanderers in foreign countries can't help feeling a little sad while enjoying the night view of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The night is already deep, and the moon is gradually setting. The moonlight faded, waking the crows in their sleep. There were some crows in the tree. The cold permeates the whole body, which is a moment when autumn frost is wanton, making people feel that the night sky is covered with thick frost. This sentence makes people feel cold and lonely on autumn nights.

The second sentence says that the maple trees on the shore are blurred in the night, and there are several fishing boats on the river. They didn't really see them, but just saw the light of the stars. Jiang Feng and Yu Huo, one dark and one bright, one vague and one bright, have a sense of tranquility and highlight the artistic conception of loneliness.

Silence and sadness in the first two sentences fill the author's mind and sight. The last two sentences of the poem read a long bell, which was sent to the poet's passenger ship for the second time. It seems that the bell knocked on the silence and sadness of the night and opened the poet's heart. And this clock belongs to Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou.

This is really a very beautiful poem. Many people like it very much, and many poets have written similar poems. Not only that, this poem also spread to Japan, was selected into Japanese textbooks, and became a well-known work for women and children.

It is such a famous work. Is there really something wrong with the bell described in it? Such a well-known work, Ouyang Xiu said it has problems, which will definitely lead to discussion. Discussion can make the problem clearer. It turns out that the "twilight drum and morning bell" only describes the general situation of the temple.

Ye Mengde of the Southern Song Dynasty said that Ouyang Xiu must have never been to Suzhou, and the bell really rang in the temple in Suzhou at midnight.

Besides, Zhang Ji was not the only one who wrote Night Bell in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the midnight bell of night parking near Fengqiao is not the author's imagination, but a fact. Hanshan Temple has also become a scenic spot because of Zhang Ji's poems. Most people who go to Hanshan Temple want to hear the midnight bell.

Summary: It can be said that it is precisely because of a night stop near Fengqiao that the bell of Hanshan Temple has passed through the Millennium, and people still remember it today and still want to experience it. This is the charm of beautiful poetry.
