Sanshengshi

Sanshengshi

Sansheng originated from the Buddhist theory of causality and reincarnation, and later became a symbol of lifelong emotion in Chinese history. The three lives of Sansheng stone represent the previous life, the present life and the next life respectively. Many people's love begins with a sense of deja vu, and after they fall in love, people will certainly expect to predestinate Sansheng.

Sanshengshi is located in santianzhu temple in Hangzhou. It is said that Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty was friendly with sengyuan. When they visited the Three Gorges together, they saw a woman who was attracted and said, "among them, the pregnant woman with the surname of king is a place to hold her body." About 12 years later, we met outside Tianzhu temple in Hangzhou. It's the night of death, and pregnancy. In time, Yuan went to the appointment and heard the pastoral boy's song Zhuzhici: "old spirits on Sansheng stone, don't talk about enjoying the moon and reciting the wind. I'm ashamed to visit my old friend from afar, although I'm of the opposite sex forever. " The reason is that the shepherd boy is the body behind the round view. See yuan Jiao of Tang Dynasty's GANZE ballad Yuanguan. Later generations attached that the Sansheng stone at the back of Tianzhu temple in Hangzhou is where Li Yuan and Yuan Guan met. In poetry, it is often used as the allusion of predestination. The third poem of Tang Qiji's Jingzhu nostalgia for monk Da Chan's younger brother: "I have thrown three living stones from Nanyue, and I have been standing by several clouds from Xishan."

The origin of legend

It is said that after mending the sky, Nu Wa began to use mud to make man. Each man was made with a grain of sand, and eventually became a huge stone. Nu Wa set it on the Bank of the West Tianling river. This stone begins with the beginning of heaven and earth, and is gradually enriched by the essence of the sun and the moon. I don't know that after several years of spring and autumn, I only heard a loud noise in the sky, a stone straight into the sky, top in the cave, it seems to have the meaning of breaking the sky. Be frightened and change color, Nu Wa looked at it. It was only after the stone absorbed the essence of the sun and moon that it was top heavy, upright, and unable to fall, but it could grow up to the sky. It had two magical lines, and divided the stone into three sections. Nu Wa was eager to use the spirit talisman to seal the stone. She thought that after the creation of human beings, she would only lack the throne of reincarnation of marriage, so she called it Sansheng stone and gave it the magic power Sansheng formula. She named the three sections as the previous life, the present life and the afterlife, and added a line of marriage to her body, which continued from this life to the afterlife. In order to better restrain her demonic nature, Nu Wa thought about it again and again, and finally put it on the river near the gate of hell to take charge of the reincarnation of marriage of three generations. When the stone stands upright, the divine power shines all over the world, and there is an endless stream of people kneeling to seek the reincarnation of marriage.

Source of allusion

Li Yuan, a hermit in the Tang Dynasty, lived in Huilin temple and made friends with the abbot yuan Guan. The two met to visit Mount Emei in Sichuan Province. They came to Sichuan by road from Chang'an and by land in the north. At Li Yuan's insistence, they entered Sichuan by the Yangtze River waterway. On the way, I met a pregnant woman who was pregnant for three years. Yuanguan cried when he saw the pregnant woman, saying that it was for this reason that he didn't want to go by water, because he was destined to be the woman's son and couldn't escape when he met her. He and Li Yuan met 13 years later at Sansheng stone in Hangzhou. That night, Yuanguan passed away, and the pregnant woman gave birth smoothly. Thirteen years later, Li Yuan came to Sansheng stone as promised, and saw a shepherd boy singing, "old spirit on Sansheng stone, don't talk about enjoying the moon and reciting the wind; I'm ashamed of my old friend's visit from afar, although the opposite sex lives forever." Li Yuan recognized him. The shepherd boy said that he was yuanze, but the fate of his life was not over, so he could not stay for a long time. He sang: "there are many things in front of him and behind him. If you want to talk about fate, you may break your heart. Wu and Yue have traveled all over the country, but they have come back to Qutang. " He left after singing.

The temple people only give one food and one drink a day. If you don't set up a servant, you will never know. The only way to communicate with Yuanguan is to forget to talk, to talk quietly, and to talk from Dan to dusk. At that time, people used to be pure and incorruptible, and they were ridiculed. For 30 years. Once the second Duke made an appointment to visit Shuzhou and arrived at Emei in Qingcheng, he also visited Taoism and asked for medicine.

How can I choose two capitals? Yuanguan said, "it's impossible for people to go out of the Three Gorges. Then he went up the gorge from the Jingjiang River. The second trip is to Nanji, and to the foot of Weizhou mountain. There were several women, including a jindang and a negative urn. Yuan waited and wept and said, "if someone doesn't want to come here, he's afraid to see his wife. Li Gong asked, "since then, there have been many disciples in the gorge. Why do you cry alone?

If we hope to practice hard and never fall behind, then we will meet. "Li Gong had no reason to talk, and he wept. Yuanguan sings bamboo again and goes step by step. The mountains are long and the waters are far away, the singing is still heard, and the rhyme of the words is high. When I first arrived in front of the temple, I sang: "the old spirit on the Sansheng stone, don't talk about appreciating the moon and reciting the wind. I'm ashamed that my old friends visit each other from afar, although I'm of the opposite sex. Then he sang, "there is a vast expanse of things in front of you and behind you. If you want to talk about the cause, you are afraid to break your heart. Wu and Yue have been searching for themselves, but they have returned to Qutang. Three years later, Li Gong paid homage to doctor Jianyi and died two years later.

Old spirit on Sansheng stone, enjoy the moon and recite the wind.

Interpretation of the friendship story of Li Yuan and monk Yuanguan

Li Yuan, a son of a rich family, realized the impermanence of life because his father died in the turmoil. He vowed not to be an official, marry or eat meat. He donated his family to rebuild Huilin temple and lived in the temple.

The abbot of the temple, Zen master yuanze (or "Yuanguan" in the text), is very good at running the temple and knows music very well. Li Yuan and he become good friends. They often sit and talk for a whole day. No one knows what they are talking about.

One day, they made an appointment to visit Mount Qingcheng and Mount Emei in Sichuan Province. Li Yuan wanted to go up the river from Hubei Province by water, but yuanze advocated to enter Sichuan by land through the inclined valley of Chang'an. Li Yuan disagrees. Yuanze had to rely on him, sighed: "a person's fate is really not from their own ah!"

So we went to Nanpu by water. When the boat was near the bank, we saw a woman in satin clothes and trousers going to the river to fetch water. Yuanze burst into tears and said to Li Yuan, "I don't want to go by water, but I'm afraid to see her!" Li Yuan was surprised to ask him why. He said: "her surname is Wang. I'm destined to be her son. Because I'm not willing to come, she's been pregnant for three years and still can't be born. Now that she's met, she can't escape. Now, please use the charm to help me to incarnate quickly. When I take a bath three days later, please come to the Wang family to see me. I'll take a smile as proof. Thirteen years later, on the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, when you come to Tianzhu temple in Hangzhou, I will definitely come to meet you. "

On the one hand, Li Yuan was sad and regretful. On the other hand, he took a bath and changed clothes for him. At dusk, yuanze died, and the woman he saw by the River gave birth.

Three days later, Li Yuan went to see the baby. When the baby saw Li Yuan smiling, Li Yuan told the Wang family everything, and the Wang family took the money to bury yuanze
