Chapter 30 (7) Mental preparation before creation

Dongpo's "Sending Cangliao" ① has a saying: "It's strange to be a Futu man, who is as fierce as his hair ②. Thinking carefully is not the case, it's really a coincidence and not a phantom ③. If you want to make the poetry beautiful, you will never tire of being empty and quiet. It's quiet. The movement of the crowd is empty, so it can accommodate all realms. The salty and sour are good, and the taste is eternal. Poetry does not matter, this language should be more please. ""Quiet and group moving", implicitly coincides with the meaning contained in it ④, "empty and full of myriad realms", the words of Tongmeng ⑤; The purpose of "Shu" ⑥. Dongpo's "Shu Huang Zisi Poems After" is extremely advocating the poetry of the sage and discussing the poems ⑦, and it is the first of its kind to show the sage and solid Canglang; Dongpo's article is very interesting. (260 pages) ①Su Shi's "Song Shen Liao" .Shen Liao: Monk Daoqian, the word Shen Liao.

② "Send Shen Liao": "It's quite strange that the Futu people, who look at themselves like a well, are slumped and indifferent, who can be bold and fierce." The Futu people refer to monks. "The Sutras Said by Vimalakirti": "The body is like a mound well." It is strange that the monk is indifferent, who will fight with him. ③Really clever and not a phantom: The monk is really ingenious, and his actions are not phantoms. ④ "Quiet and group moving", which coincides with the meaning of Zai: Tang Quanzai's "Preface to Sending Lingche Master Lushan Back to Wozhou": "Reading his words, knowing that his heart does not wait for the situation to be quiet but to be quiet."

⑤ "Empty and full of myriad realms", Ming Tongmengde's words: Liu Mengde's "Autumn Day Passes Hongju Court and Sends Back to Jiangling Yin": "If you can get rid of desires, you will be empty. There is something to vent, but it is in the form of words." ⑥ Sikong Tu's "On Poems and Books with Li Sheng": "If the acid (vinegar) is not sour, it is only sour; if the pluck (salt) is not salty, it is only salty. People in China use it to satisfy their hunger. However, those who drop out suddenly know that besides the salty and sour, the mellow ones are somewhat lacking."

⑦Su Shi's "Shu Huang Zili Poetry Collection": "Believe in the words of the sage, the beauty is beyond the salty and sour, you can sing and sigh three times." Here we talk about the spiritual preparation before creation and the requirements for creation. "Xunzi? Uncovering": "How does the heart know? Said: Empty and quiet.The mind is never hidden, but there is what is called emptiness; the mind is never two, but there is what is called one; "Liu Xie's "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons? Shensi": "It is Tao Jun's literary thinking that is valuable in emptiness." "When brewing literary thinking, focus on humility and tranquility. Only with an open mind can we accept different opinions; only with concentration can we concentrate on observing and seeing problems; only with meditation can we see carefully. Tranquility. Su Shi proposed here: "If you want to make the poetry beautiful, you must be empty and quiet", which means emphasizing emptiness and tranquility.

"Quietness makes the crowd move, and emptiness makes it possible to accommodate the myriad realms." Only when the mind is calm and not impetuous can we observe carefully.Only by understanding all kinds of activities and absorbing various realms can we reflect various new life and write new realms, and only then can the poetic language be wonderful. When creating, it is also required to "to taste forever".Su Shi said in "Book of Huang Zisi's Poetry Collection": Sikong Tu "On poetry, he said: "Plums stop at sour, and salt stops at salty'". You can't eat without salty plums, and its beauty is often outside of salty and sour. Also known as: " Du Wei Yingwu and Liu Zongyuan's hair is slender in Jiangu, and the taste is indifferent, which is beyond the reach of Yuzi. Then he quoted Sikong Tu's "outside taste", that is, there is delicacy in the simple and ancient, and the ultimate taste in the indifferent. Because what is reflected is a new life, and what is written is a new realm, giving people a fresh and refreshing feeling. Therefore, although the writing is simple and indifferent, it still contains the most flavor. This can be interesting.
