Mount Tai, the first of the Five Sacred Mountains, is known as "the most respected of the Five Sacred Mountains" and "the best mountain in the world".

With a history of Chinese civilization that has lasted for 5,000 years, it is a symbol of national prosperity and national survival. It is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation, a microcosm of oriental culture, and a place where the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature" is placed.

Such a place was naturally selected among the fifty scenic spots and historical sites.

When thinking of Mount Tai, a couplet emerged in Jiang Yuebai's mind.

He began to write with a brush in his hand, and finished it in one go.

The audience below saw the first couplet written by Jiang Yuebai through the photographer's lens.

The upper couplet: The door opens to the sky, and the three-day wonders are visible.

The lower couplet: The steps are thousands of steps, and the wonders of thousands of peaks are overlooked.

Some people are still confused when they see this couplet. It seems that Jiang Yuebai wrote a mountain, but it is unknown which mountain it is.

But some people have already known it clearly.

This is clearly about Mount Tai.

The South Gate of Mount Tai is in line with the words in the couplet.

"This is Mount Tai."

"Yes, it is Mount Tai."

"This couplet is well written, magnificent."

"Sure enough, this person can tell whether he is good or not at the first stroke."

"This comparison shows the difference."

"Hey? Why did the camera go away? What is the photographer doing?"

"Come back quickly!"

While the audience was still discussing, the photographer's camera had already turned to the next contestant.

The ten judges on the stage also saw the scene just now, and they were even more amazed that Jiang Yuebai could write such a magnificent couplet.

When these words are put together, a momentum that goes straight into the sky arises spontaneously.

"This couplet is impeccable in terms of its profound meaning and fit. I give it full marks." Zhang Boyu spoke first.

"It's well-balanced and magnificent, I give it 10 points too."

"I give it 10 points too."

"10 points."

"..."

Jiang Yuebai got full marks for his first Taishan couplet.

Of course, the contestants don't know it now, and the scores will be announced only after the competition.

This is also to avoid affecting the contestants' mentality.

After that, Jiang Yuebai never stopped writing. He often looked up after finishing one couplet and had an idea for the next one.

When the photographer's camera came to him again, he had already written seven or eight couplets.

"Let me see where Yuebai is writing. In the mirror of the painting pavilion, I see the immortal paradise. Beyond the clouds, I hear the clear sound of mountains and rivers. Hiss...where is this?"

"Painting pavilion and flying spring, mirror and outside the clouds, see and hear, immortal and mountains and rivers, blessed land and clear sound, perfect!"

"One look at Baotu Spring."

"Not bad, not bad, I like this one."

"It's a pity that I didn't see the previous ones."

"I should be able to see all of them after the competition is over."

The whole couplet is elegant and unrestrained, not bound by form, using metaphors and rhetoric to praise the beautiful scenery of Baotu Spring and the sound of the mountain spring.

The photographer is very good at making program effects. He stayed here with Jiang Yuebai for a while, and when he finished writing this one, he immediately walked to the next contestant.

Although this behavior made some viewers dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do, after all, there were other contestants in the final.

It took the photographer almost half an hour to go around. When it was Jiang Yuebai's turn for the third time, the picture he wrote was a well-known scenic spot.

Upper couplet: Crossing the river with a reed, reaching the source and tracing back to the Sixth Patriarch.

Lower couplet: Facing the wall for nine years, understanding the Three Vehicles.

As soon as the audience saw the four words "crossing the river with a reed", they immediately knew where it was talking about.

This "crossing the river with a reed" tells the story of Bodhidharma.

Legend has it that when Bodhidharma crossed the Yangtze River, he did not take a boat, but broke a reed on the river bank and stood on it.

This is the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, which is known as the "ancestral home of Zen Buddhism and the holy land of Kung Fu".

The lower couplet is actually a story. According to legend, the Great Desert Patriarch had faced the wall in Shaolin Temple for nine years and understood the "Three Vehicles" doctrine of Buddhism, namely the three methods of practice of the voice-hearer, the cause-knower, and the bodhisattva.

This reflects the Zen thought of focusing on pointing directly to the human heart and seeing the nature to become a Buddha.

A simple couplet can make people think of Shaolin Temple. This is the real couplet.

"Xiaobai, awesome!" Long Zhan couldn't help shouting.

"Keep your voice down and pay attention to your image." Wang Shiqing reminded.

After all, he is a public figure, so he should be more careful when speaking.

"Hehe, I'm excited. I'll be careful next time." Long Zhan also realized the problem.

"Finally, there is a couplet that we can recognize at a glance." Song Qianyun said.

"This photographer is not sensible at all. He stayed on others for so long, but he was so stupid on Xiaobai."It will take a while." Su Ying'er complained.

"No way, who let Xiaobai write so fast." Wen Xilan knew why.

When the photographer takes a photo of a person, he will wait for him to finish writing the couplet.

Jiang Yuebai usually finishes it in one go, and it comes naturally, with almost no pause in the middle, which is very smooth.

This also leads to the fact that he writes a couplet in a very short time.

Others often think and consider during the writing process before slowly writing, which makes it take a little longer to finish a whole couplet.

Three hours, not long, not short.

The contestants on the stage racked their brains, and everyone wanted to write a few more couplets.

The audience below the stage did not feel bored either. After all, in addition to Jiang Yuebai's The couplets written by others are also very interesting.

There is no shortage of audiences at the scene. If someone can't stand it and leaves, someone else will immediately take his place.

In order to see the big screen more clearly, many people are unwilling to go even if they feel like peeing.

They know that as long as they leave, the person behind will take this position.

It is approaching twelve o'clock. The game has been going on for almost two and a half hours, and the time is gradually coming to an end.

The camera cuts to Jiang Yuebai for the fourth time.

Coincidentally, Jiang Yuebai's couplet just ends.

"The water of the cave curtain hangs on the water curtain cave,

The fruit flowers bloom on the fruit mountain. ”

Another palindrome couplet, which is the same whether read forward or backward.

And it is about the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the popular "Journey to the West".

However, the audience had expected it.

In their opinion, Jiang Yuebai can write songs for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", so he must have a special relationship with Mo Bai.

There is "Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain" in this competition, and he will definitely choose it.

This is exactly the case.

"I don't know how many times I said "wow" today."

"You have to say it every time Yuebai's shot comes."

"I can't help it, because the couplets he wrote are really amazing."

"That's true."

"Others are simple, four or five words are best, but Yuebai is good, almost all of them are long couplets."

"This is called erudition and versatility. ”

“…”

The judges on the stage nodded frequently when they saw the couplets written by Jiang Yuebai, and some of them even stroked their beards.

Especially Cao Jianan, the vice president of the Couplet Society, who almost plucked out his white beard himself.
