    After seeing Master Sanzang¡¯s authentic works, Puji took Chen Wanrong to see the eight Buddha statues that Master Sanzang brought back from Tianzhu.  These Buddha statues are slightly different from the Chinese Buddha statues and have an exotic feel.  Although Buddhism is a foreign religion, it was almost localized by the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, many people believe that Buddhism is a Chinese religion and does not come from India.

    Pu Ji eloquently introduced the origins of the eight Buddha statues to Chen Wanrong, while Chen Wanrong nodded in appreciation on the surface, but in his heart he commented from a technical point of view, "The casting level in India is too inferior. This Buddha statue  It cannot be compared with the Buddhist statues in China, especially in terms of exquisiteness and style."

    After reading the handwritings and relics of Master Xuanzang, this "cultural feast" was so beautiful that Chen Wanrong was satisfied and planned to leave.  Before he could speak, he heard Puji say: "The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not only a place to view Master Xuanzang's works, but also an excellent place to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Chang'an. Standing on the top of the tower, you can have a panoramic view of Chang'an! The donor is here, you can't  No. Please!¡±

    This is a good suggestion. Chen Wanrong will definitely not refuse it and said: "Thank you, Master." He followed Puji up.

    Chen Zairong is a scholar, and he is particularly concerned about the "Inscription on the Wild Goose Pagoda". He just had no time to look at Xuanzang's posthumous works, and now he thinks of this: "Master, can you let me have a look at the inscription on the Wild Goose Pagoda?"

    "If the donor wants to watch, there is nothing wrong. Donor, please come with the poor monk." This is also an opportunity to flatter him, and Puji would not agree.

    After going up to the first floor, Puji led the two people to a wall, pointed at the wall and said: "This is the place where Juzi inscribed his name. After Juzi ascended the Dragon Gate, he first had to attend the banquet in Qujiang, and then come here.  Inscribe the name to show your honor." In the Tang Dynasty, the title was called "Denglongmen".

    After scholars in the Tang Dynasty won the imperial examination, they would hold a series of celebration activities.  The most important thing is to "bathe in Heaven's grace". First, they have to accept the banquet given by Emperor Qujiang, and then they come to Ci'en Temple to "inscribe their name in the Wild Goose Pagoda" to show their honor. The whole activity reaches its climax.

    Inscribing names in the Wild Goose Pagoda was the most glorious thing for scholars in the Tang Dynasty. It was once very popular and became the highest honor among scholars. Chen Wanrong also knew it. When he looked at the wall of the tower, he saw some names, place of origin, and degree written on the wall.  time.  The one written at the front is a scholar named Zhang Ju, and there are many names in sequence. Zhang, Li, Si, Wang Mazi wrote a long list.

    ??Looking at them one after another, none of them are known to Chen Wanrong. They should be some scholars who have not left any achievements in history.  Recalling Bai Juyi's poem "The inscription under the Ci'en Pagoda is the youngest among the seventeen people", it doesn't take too much literary accomplishment to appreciate Bai Juyi's arrogance of "I am the youngest", but the so-called inscription on the Wild Goose Pagoda is nothing more than that.  , couldn't help but feel disappointed.

    Chen Zairong looked at it very seriously. He looked at them one by one. Looking at his serious look, he really wished he could put his name on it one day.

    Puji explained: "Master Zhang Ju Zhang visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for a day, and on a whim, he wrote his name here. His disciples followed suit and all wrote their names here."

    No wonder there are not many people who can leave their names in history. It turns out that it has just emerged. If it takes dozens or hundreds of years, more people will come here to name their names. Among them are famous historical celebrities such as Bai Juyi and Meng Jiao.

    When Chen Zairong finished reading, he felt satisfied and tapped his right hand on the wall: "It would be great if one day I could inscribe my name here like them!"

    "The donor has great ambitions and will definitely leave his name here one day!" The man who became a master of Puji immediately praised him.  Say something nice and benefit at no cost, why not do it?

    Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little disdain for the scholars of the Tang Dynasty who followed the trend. The best place to write the title should be history. If you can leave a good name in history, your life will be worthwhile. Although these scholars have left their mark here,  They have given their names, but who will still know about them a thousand years later?

    People like Xiang Monk and Wu Daozi, although they have not left their names here, can be remembered for generations. When future generations talk about them, they will give a thumbs up. This is what a man should do!

    "Zairong, you have to know that it is valuable to be named to the Yan Pagoda, but the real value is not to be named here, but to leave a name in the history books. There are many people among them who can do things that are beneficial to the country and the people. I don't know this.  Doubtful. I think that not every one of them can do something beneficial to the country. There must be some of them who have no name and live in a mediocre life. They just name themselves here!" Chen Wanrong does not want Chen Zairong to use his thoughts.  Here, falling into vulgarity, I spoke words of encouragement to him.

    Chen Zairong rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded resolutely: "Brother, I remember! It's good to be able to inscribe my name here, but it's no big deal if I don't inscribe my name here! One day, I will gallop among thousands of armies and fight against the Turks  Deep in the desert!"

    Fighting against the Hunu is his ambition, and he can¡¯t help but feel satisfiedPeople like Wu Daozi would also have such difficulties. Things are really unpredictable. Who doesn't have something urgent?

    Chen Wanrong had to sigh, some people say that the beauty behind the artist's life is the hardship during his lifetime. This really makes sense!

    "What does the master plan to do with this painting?" Puji put a tea cup on the painting and sprinkled some water on it. He didn't take it seriously at all. He also disrespected the painting saint so much that Chen Wanrong had to ask.

    Puji didn't know that a few years later, Wu Daozi would be famous all over the world, and people would spend tens of thousands of dollars to get him to paint a painting. Even ten thousand dollars might not be able to buy it. Without thinking about it, he said: "The Buddha statue has been painted and is useless. How about it?"  Abandon it.¡±

    After listening to his words, Chen Wanrong really wanted to slap him twice. This was a waste of natural resources. He pondered for a moment and said: "It is fate that I met the master today. If the master allows me, I will take this painting and keep it as a souvenir in the future."  , I must not forget the great sentiments of Master¡¯s visit to the Wild Goose Pagoda today.¡±

    Puji had no reason to disagree with Chen Wanrong¡¯s request, saying, ¡°If the donor doesn¡¯t mind the burden, it¡¯s fine.¡±

    Chen Wanrong sighed in his heart, "Painting sage, your masterpieces are collected by me, a poor man with clanking legs. What a big joke! Fortune has its way with people!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel  .com
