This year is another warm winter, the weather is warm, and the season has not yet reached the beginning of spring, but the fisherman has already danced by the river, dancing lightly, like a fairy welcoming the spring, welcoming the coming early spring.
Diaoyuweng is a very cute bird, also known as Diaoyulang, Paiyulang, Yuhu, Yugou, Jinniaozi, Qinjiaozui, etc. It is a medium-sized water bird. Blue-black from the forehead to the pillow, densely mixed with blue-blue horizontal spots, greenish-blue back, chestnut brown abdomen, some light-colored horizontal spots on the top of the head, red beak and feet, it looks like a woodpecker from a distance, often Flying close to the surface of the water, from time to time with a sharp chirp chirp chirp chirp, the chirp is loud, the Japanese eminent monk Kobo Master Kukai returned to Japan from the Tang Dynasty and sat quietly to watch birds at Kongofeng Temple in Koya Mountain, Wakayama Prefecture. Hearing the cry of the fisherman, I felt that the fisherman was firmly established in the world and dedicated to Buddhism, as if he was calling "Buddha and Dharma monk". Therefore, the fisherman was lucky to be the only one among all the birds that was not named according to the biological form of birds: Buddhism Sangmu, and therefore the fisherman is also called the three treasure bird, and because the classification of this outline originated from Japan, the fisherman also has a nice name in Japan "Chuan Chan (カワセミ Kawasemi)". To realize Zen in the sound, the cicada is Zen.
There are two kinds of birds called "Weng" in my hometown, one is Diaoyu Weng, and the other is Pulsatilla, a migratory bird that migrates from north to south. Diaoyuweng and Pulsatilla are about the same size. They often fly at low altitude in winter and early spring. They both like to fly and prey. They are lively and not afraid of people. Pulsatillas have white stripes on both sides of the head starting from behind the eyes, extending backwards to the occipital to form a wide white pillow ring, while fishermen have light-colored horizontal spots on the top of the head, red mouth and feet, and bright red on the back. Green-blue, chestnut-brown abdomen, densely mixed with blue-blue horizontal spots. Diaoyuweng is a carnivorous bird, mainly fish, and also eats crustaceans and various aquatic insects. Pulsatilla is an omnivorous bird that eats fish, insects, plant seeds and fruits. Breeding birds are well differentiated.
However, since I was a child, I have particularly liked the fisherman but not the pulsatilla. I can’t say there is any special reason, maybe it’s just that I like the light dance of the fisherman, and I don’t like to see the white heads of the pulsatilla, and I’m afraid of seeing the white head. After going to middle school, I learned the landscape poem "Jiang Xue" by Liu Zongyuan, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "A thousand mountains and birds are flying away, and thousands of paths and people are gone. A lonely boat with hats and hats, fishing alone in the cold river and snow." Imagine all the mountains, the flying birds The figure has disappeared, and there are no traces of people on all the roads. On the lone boat on the river, a fisherman wearing a straw hat is fishing alone in the wind and snow. , The scenery is vast, the scenery near and far is lonely and cold, the artistic conception is secluded, free and leisurely, the charm is eternal, vigorous and powerful. Seeing the rural river and snow scene, I like the "fisherman" more and more.
The fisherman often fishes in the river and rushes down like a fighter jet to catch small fish in the river. People in his hometown sometimes call him Pai Yulang. Grandpa is a water conservancy administrator in the village. He works on the ridges of the canals and rivers every day. At that time, there were still a lot of fish in the Zhenjiang River, and some fish could be caught after work. Grandpa did not need any tools when fishing. Touching in the water, I threw the fish I caught on the bank in a short while. The fish was alive and kicking on the bank. I often couldn’t catch it with my little hands on the bank. The fish jumped back into the river after a few plops, taking My innocent childlike innocence swam far away and disappeared in the rapids of the river. Until now, every time I see the fisherman, I think back to that period of childhood, and think of the person who nurtured me to grow up.
The Japanese eminent monk Kokai, master Kokai, heard the sound of fishermen and birds in Kongofeng Temple in Koyasan. A bird, a bird has a sound, and a person has a heart, and the sound and heart are all in the air." The intention is to explain that as long as you pay attention, there are Zen opportunities everywhere. (Article reading network: www.sanwen.net)
Fishermen in early spring fly freely and play by the river. The Japanese eminent monk Kobo Master Kukai heard the fisherman's cry and felt that he was calling "Buddhist monk", but I heard it as if he was shouting "rich, fat, and born", rich, rich, vigorous, and endless. The fishing man in early spring, the beautiful and beautiful singing voice that brings me dreams is calling me, telling me that a spring is coming again.
