Many different instruments(絲竹管絃)

We read poetry aloud while drinking(一觴一詠)

 

The most famous calligraphy work in running script in Chinese history is a preface written by a famous calligrapher (Wang Xizhi) of the Jin Dynasty.

 

In the spring of AD 353, at the age of 50, he and 40 other celebrities of the time gathered in a pavilion in what is now Kuaiji Mountain in Zhejiang Province. The name of this pavilion is (Lanting).

 

Why do they gather here? This is because there was a custom in ancient China.

On this day of the year, everyone goes to the river and everyone washes their bodies in water soaked in herbs.

People at that time believed that by doing so, they could eliminate misfortunes and gain blessings.

 

After they finished the ceremony, everyone sat by the river, and everyone began to drink and eat.

They ate and drank while playing a popular game at the time.

 

A total of 41 people participated in this open-air luncheon.

26 of them wrote 37 poems that afternoon.

15 of them could not complete the task of writing poetry and were punished.

These 15 people drank a lot of Chinese rice wine

.

A good friend who attended the event proposed.

We should put these poems today into a collection of poems.

Everyone agreed with the idea.

 

(Wang Xizhi) wrote a preface to this collection of poems.

The third paragraph of this preface is as follows.

 

We are all gathered here today, although there are no different musical instruments to drive the atmosphere, but we all drink together, write poems and read poems together.

 

In this process, each of us expresses our most sincere emotions and feelings.

 

The first idiom means many different musical instruments.

The second idiom means reading a poem while drinking.

 

Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

How long has it been since you spent a good afternoon with your good friends? Are your former good friends still in touch?

I hope this story will give you something new to gain.

絲竹管絃((Many different instruments))

一觴一詠(We read poetry aloud while drinking)

 

中國歷史上最著名的一篇行書書法作品是一篇序,作者是晉王朝的著名書法家(王羲之)

 

西元353年的春天,50歲的他與其他40位當時的名士在現在的浙江省會稽山的一座亭子中聚會。這座亭子的名字叫做(蘭亭)

 

他們為何會聚集在這裡呢?這是因為古代中國有一個風俗。

在每年的這一天,所有人都要到河邊、所有人都會用浸泡了香草的水沖洗全身。

當時的人們認為這樣做,就可以消除災禍並且獲得福氣。

 

他們舉辦完這個儀式之後,所有人便坐在河邊,大家開始喝酒吃飯。

他們一邊吃飯喝酒一邊玩一個當時很流行的遊戲。

 

在這場露天午宴中,參加的人共有41個人。

其中26個人在那天下午創作了37首詩。

其中15個人無法完成寫詩的任務所以被處罰。

15個人喝了很多中國米酒

 

參加這場活動的一個好朋友建議。

我們應該把今天的這些詩集成一本詩集。

大家都很認同這個主意。

 

(王羲之)就為這本詩集寫了一篇序。

這篇序的第三段如下。

 

我們今天大家聚在這裡,雖然少了各種不同的樂器演奏來帶動氣氛,但是我們大家一起喝酒,一起寫詩並且朗讀詩。

 

在這個過程中,我們每個人都表達了自已內心最真誠的情緒與感受。

 

第一句成語的意思許多種不同的樂器。

第二句成語的意思是邊喝酒邊朗讀詩。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你有多久沒有跟你的好朋友一起度過一個愉快的下午呢?你以前的好朋友現在都還時常聯絡嗎?

 我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
