As we all know, this lifelike artwork of Guanyin statue in Guanyin Mountain in Dongguan is from the master of sculptor Chen Baoru of Fujian Putian sculpture master. This is one of the most direct destined people of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The protagonist who has gone through a lot of hardships to build Guanyin Mountain is the chairman Mr. Huang Ganbo . This is the second person who is destined to be.
The first couplet "Viewing the mountains and rivers on Guanyin Mountain" Zou Jihai Mr. Zou Jihai is the third person who is destined to be.
How to treat the first couplet of "Viewing the mountains and rivers on Guanyin Mountain"? After a year of in-depth exploration, I think I need to start with the above three most direct names of those who are destined to be, so that the couplets that are most convincing are the most convincing.
So far, this couplet recruitment activity has created eight "unprecedented" and Mr. Zou Jihai has also become a sensational figure in the contemporary couplet industry. The first "unprecedented" is the number of participants, receiving a total of 200,000 couplets, and the number of online clicks and followers is unexpected. By the end of the year, there are less than 70 days left. For a long time, netizens have been keen on commenting and showing off their skills. There are many different opinions, and no one is convinced. This is understandable.
No matter how the couplet at the bottom of Guanyin Mountain in Dongguan ends, I firmly believe that Fushan will realize my dream. Here, today I will continue to solemnly throw out the Zen-rich second couplet and my creative path for everyone to appreciate.
Viewing the mountains and rivers on Guanyin Mountain
Cloud sea of clouds and clouds are like
The word "sea of clouds" is understood from the following five aspects.
1. The cultural monument originated from the “Viewing mountains, water, clouds, and sea”, connecting the past and the future.
2. Mr. Zou Jihai opened the "Hai Says Audio" column, which means cloud, and "Hai Says" implies "Hai Yun".
3. What kind of natural scenery elements can match the huge 18 square kilometers of Guanyin Mountain? After thinking about it, the only thing that can match it is the fairyland of clouds that covers the entire Guanyin Mountain.
4. After writing here, the question is, "Yanghai Fairyland" is four characters, Guanyin Mountain is three characters. As a couplet, the number of words must be equal and must be a proper noun. Therefore, the four words "Yanghai Fairyland" must be refined. After thinking for a long time, I finally used the word "Yanghai" in the Buddha's words. The word "Yanghai" as a noun is broadly defined as: the expression form of all things in the world, and the expression form of the sea of clouds is called "Yanghai". Then the next step is to consider whether "Yanghai" is a proper noun, and we also need to consider whether it is the same concept as "Yanghai". After writing here, our thinking suddenly short-circuited. Later, after thinking hard, I finally ushered in some dawn when I checked the information through Baidu .
First of all, we study it from closely following the activities held in Guanyin Mountain in Dongguan. The most popular thing in my mind is that Niu Niu appears on the Huachao Festival to play the image of Wu Zetian. Why do you want to play the character Wu Zetian? It turns out that Wu Zetian has a considerable relationship with Guanyin . Guanyin's oriental women's beauty was unprecedentedly sublimated in the Wu Zetian era. There is also a swastika symbol in the Buddha's words that was actually called wan by Wu Zetian. Later, Baidu swastika, the meaning of this swastika is really endless, and it actually involves many fields. It is a magical symbol, transliterated as: "Auspicious sea of clouds" or "Auspicious clouds and sea of clouds".
I believe that anyone who has visited Guanyin Mountain in Dongguan knows that there is a good garden on Guanyin Mountain. You can see the sea of clouds at the top of the mountain. The good garden is a good choice. Perhaps this is another artistic conception of "auspicious clouds and seas".
5. Since "Sea of Clouds" is the transliteration of the swastika, it is equivalent to solving the problem that "Sea of Clouds and Sea of Clouds" are not the same concept. Next, we must solve whether "Sea of Clouds" can match the master "Guanyin" as a main sentence. I believe everyone knows that there are really not many god names that want to match the great god "Guanyin". After racking his brains, it is not difficult to find that Guanyin Bodhisattva is a community of Buddhist and Taoism. He first becomes a Buddha and then enters the Tao. The Buddha's name is The Tathagata of the True Dharma and Ming Tathagata. Later, the reason why he became a Bodhisattva was because of his master Amitabha Buddha. The "Amitabha Buddha" on his head was to respect his master. Having written this, it seems natural that the master of the second couplet matches the disciple of the first couplet.Then the question arises again, how can this "Amitabha" be associated with the "sea of clouds"? Later, I found the answer in the two concepts of "true Dharma nature" and "true sea of truth". "Amitabha" reflects immeasurable merits, and "true sea of truth" also reflects "immeasurable merits as deep and vast as the sea of sea", so the sea of clouds. Furthermore, the appearance of the Guanyin Mountain in Dongguan reflects the ecology of the sea of clouds is also the embodiment of immeasurable merits. At this point, we found the commonality, which is equivalent to integrating the concept of Amitabha as an element into this natural beauty fairyland of clouds. "Amitabha" is often recited in the hearts of believers. The entire Guanyin Mountain is stained in the world of Amitabha's voice and is always shrouded in the fairyland of clouds.
makes sense to the above five points, and the last step left in the creation is about how to treat the word "landscape".
There are not many words that can be combined with the word "天" to form a parallel, such as "天神", "天神", "天神", etc. Finally, after thinking about it, combined with the word "ru" of Chen Baoru, "the first person with destiny", he seemed to notice something. So it was finally concluded:
Viewing the mountains and rivers on Guanyin Mountain
In the clouds and seas, the word Yunxiangru is embedded in the word "海" of Zou Jihai, the third person with destiny, and the word Ru is embedded in the word "海" of Chen Baoru, the first person with destiny. As for how to embed the name of Huang Ganbo, the second destined person?
Then we need to start with the meaning of the word "Sea of Clouds", which implies the waves of clouds. In addition, the word "Xiang" as a verb has the meaning of detection and identification. The pronunciation of Jian and Gan is similar in Cantonese . The last character "Ru" , the five elements attributes belongs to "Gold". The character "Gold" and the character "Shui" at the end of the first couplet are combined into the character "Gan". This is the magical mystery. Xiangru: is a fixed word, which can also be defined separately as: reality, true nature, Zen, and parallel structure. It can also be associated with the vocabulary master " Sima Xiangru " and the politician " Lin Xiangru ".
has successfully embedded the names of these three destined people, so why not do it? What an interesting Zen couplet! Have you seen its magic?
