Kangxi inscription tablet

Emperor Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River and came to Hangzhou. He travels around the West Lake, recites poems and inscriptions, and pretends to be a romantic son of heaven.

One day, he sent a message saying that he would go to Lingyin Temple to celebrate.

The old monk in Lingyin Temple was pleasantly surprised when he learned the news. He quickly rang the bell and drums and called more than 300 monks from the whole temple. Monks put on brand-new robes, put on pilu hats, knocked on instruments and recited amitabha in their mouths. Everyone followed the old monk to the Shiliange outside Lisan Road to welcome Emperor Kangxi into Lingyin Temple.

Accompanied by Emperor Kangxi, the old monk made a tour around the front and back of the temple, on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. Emperor Kangxi saw peaks, clear springs, green trees on the mountains and red flowers everywhere underground. What a nice place! As soon as he was happy, he ordered to be a vegetarian in the temple.

The emperor gave a banquet, which was very lively! Blow, fight and sing, and suddenly, this Buddhist temple became the emperor's home!

The old monk had long heard that Emperor Kangxi liked to recite poems and write inscriptions. At this time, seeing him shake his head, he went to discuss with the local officials who followed Emperor Kangxi: "My Lord, I want to ask the emperor to write a plaque for the mountain temple. Do you think so? "

The magistrate of Hangzhou said, "OK, OK, if the emperor gives a plaque to Lingyin Temple, I'm afraid my whole Hangzhou mansion will be touched!" " "

Officials in Qiantang County also answered: "The emperor is in a good mood. If you go to Guang Chen and ask him for an inscription, I think he will definitely agree. "

Knowing this, the old monk got up his courage and went to the Emperor Kangxi and knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live, for the sake of the Buddha in Lingyin Temple, please write a plaque for the mountain temple and let us enjoy the scenery!"

The old monk's request just scratched the itch of Emperor Kangxi. He nodded, grabbed a brush and brushed it a few times, then wrote an oblique word "rain". This Guang Chen, he is drunk, his wrist is a little shaky, and he writes too fast. The word "rain" actually accounts for more than half of the paper! The word "spirit" in Lingyin Temple, according to the old way of writing, has three mouths and a witch under "rain"! There is only half a piece of paper left now, and I can't put it down anyway. What a pity to write a new one! Emperor Kangxi grabbed the pen in one hand and licked the goatee in the other, but there was nothing he could do. Officials around know that Emperor Kangxi can't quit Taiwan, but no one dares to say so, just standing aside and worrying. Fortunately, a college student named Gao Jiangcun came up with an idea. He first wrote the word "Yunlin" on his palm, then pretended to grind ink, approached Emperor Kangxi and secretly spread his palm. Emperor Kangxi looked at it and said, alas, these two words really save the king and bodhisattva! Before I realized that I was half asleep, I vaguely wrote the four characters "Yunlin Temple". After writing, raise your hand and throw the brush far away.

The old monk came to have a look. This is not right! How did Lingyin Temple become Yunlin Temple? Without looking at the scenery, he stammered, "We are called Lingyin Temple, not Yunlin Temple! Is it ... the emperor wrote it wrong? "

Emperor Kangxi stared at this and shouted, "What a big mouth!" Where did the old monk dare to speak again, he had to stand beside him respectfully. Emperor Kangxi turned to the official and asked, "There are clouds in the sky and forests in the ground. What's wrong with calling Yunlin Temple? "

"Yes, yes, the emperor is wise!" ……

Hearing the fairy flatter him noisily, Emperor Kangxi smiled happily and ordered the plaque to be hung up.

The emperor said a word, and the officials were busy. When they asked people to replace the original plaque of Lingyin Temple, they also asked craftsmen to carve the four characters of "Yunlin Temple" handwritten by Emperor Kangxi on mahogany, gilded it with black lacquer and hung it on the mountain gate on the spot.

Since then, Lingyin Temple has hung a misnamed "Yunlin Temple" plaque. However, the people in Hangzhou don't buy it. Although the plaque of Yunlin Temple has been hung for 300 years, people still call it Lingyin Temple.
