The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 19: The first appearance of the hook bar
Senior Brother Hui Nai and Hui Bing, one is a cat slave and the other is a dog slave.
This is really excruciatingly painful. Both of them feel that Yunyan is back to the children and making fun of them, isn't it because they demoted his family's bear?
However, clear and unswervingly believed that Yun Yan should listen to Yun Yan Hui, and also supported the pairing of Hui Nai and Hui Bing, and rehearsed every day, so it caused a lot of jokes, everyone said it was a happy couple enemy.
It's been so recently, and when the time is almost up, the temple has contacted the largest tile house in Bianliang, Zhujiaqiao Tashi.
This Boss Wazi is also stunned. The monk wants to perform? Or the monk of Daxiangguo Temple? Is this to arrange or not to arrange?
According to the words of the Daxiangguo Temple, their monks are going to teach the scriptures.
Although it is said that Buddhism was popular in the Song Dynasty, everyone came to Vashe to have fun. If you talk about Buddhist scriptures there, will anyone really like to listen to it?
Even if it is a common saying in the Tang Dynasty, the entertainment is not necessarily as high as the slang words in the current washhouse. It is easy to ask the gods to send them away. Chasing off the guests, ruining their reputation?
The boss struggled again and again, and boldly put forward a request to Daxiangguo Temple. He had to watch a performance first, and then judge whether he could accept it.
At the beginning of the year, there was a line of rules. The boss asked for it, and Yun Yanhui agreed, not afraid of him leaking secrets. After the boss watched a rehearsal, he felt that the level was above the average, and it was more unique and novel, so he nodded decisively and agreed that the monks from the Daxiangguo Temple would enter the Vasse to teach the scriptures.
……
For the people of Bianliang, this is an ordinary day. Many people have nothing to do, so they go outside the Washe to see today's tricks. The tricks will write which people or groups are in the Wazi today, and what kind of programs are performing.
In this way, the people will know.
As soon as it opened, Zhujiaqiao Tashizi updated its tricks. The first line was eye-catching Zhu characters, which clearly told everyone that there was a major new program today.
There are more than a dozen hook fences in the tiles of Zhujiaqiao, which can accommodate up to thousands of people watching the performance at the same time, and it is almost full every day, rain or shine.
The people of Bianliang have seen more and more various artists, and they have also watched performances with various characters, but they have never seen the monk walk into the shed. I want to tell you the last paragraph, like this The mix can be fresh enough.
The crowds poured in one after another, and the vacancies gradually filled up.
In the golden age, one of the Goulan will usher in the first show of the monks of Daxiangguo Temple.
The stage in Tashizhong is surrounded by railings, so it is called a hook fence, which is not much different from the stage seen in modern times. There is a curtain separating the front and backstage, and the upper and lower stage passages connect the two ends for the actors to enter and exit, which is called "Ghost Road" ".
The theater, that is, the backstage, where Hui Nai and Hui Bing stood and moved their hands and feet, ready to play. In fact, they don't necessarily need two people to play this part, one person can also play it, but Yun Yan was afraid that everyone would be nervous for the first time, so they all matched each other.
The two of them were somewhat nervous. Listening to the movement in front of them, Yun Yan suddenly pulled back their clothes and quickly looked down, "What's the matter, Brother Yan?"
Because I attach great importance to this matter, I also came, and sat aside to drink tea.
Yunyan glanced back and said in a low voice, "Later, I'll change the names of the characters in your opening paragraphs."
"What?" Hui Nai and Hui Bing listened to Yun Yan's reply, their eyes slowly widened, rubbing their hands and laughing, "This, is this really good?"
"It's all for spreading the Fa, so the Master will understand." Yun Yan replied.
He told Hui Nai and the two that all the monk roles in the jokes were temporarily replaced by Ran. Knowing that he was always staring at the rehearsal before, so he never said it, but in his heart, using the name of knowing is the best!
It is clear that in Bianliang, it has a certain reputation, so that the audience can feel a sense of substitution at once, and can enter the atmosphere of the story faster, which will help the newcomers on the stage to get closer to the audience.
However, in the eyes of Hui Nai and Hui Bing, they only thought that Yun Yanhui was playing a prank, and the two of them happened to be very entertaining, so they didn't mind doing it...
……
The gong rang three times, and two young monks dressed in monk robes walked out from the gate of **** and saluted everyone, which immediately attracted a burst of applause, and many other audience members in front of the hook also crowded in when they heard the news. Here, I want to see what the monk has to say.
"Every benefactor, little monk Hui Nai (little monk Hui Bing), from Daxiangguo Temple." Hui Nai greeted everyone generously, but he was not afraid of being seen by so many people, and there are more people doing things in the temple. .
"Everyone should know about Daxiangguo Temple. It is very famous. There are many masters and eminent monks, like our abbot, and our two masters, like Zen Master Liran."
The audience nodded in succession, yes, we all know him well. He is a good monk with excellent medical skills. Every time there is an epidemic, he takes the monks to heal and distribute medicines on behalf of the Daxiangguo Temple. His face immediately came to mind.
Knowledge in the background heard this and thought it was an example of on-the-spot performance.
Hui Bing: "Everyone should have participated in the Lantern Festival at Daxiangguo Temple. In that scene, thousands of lanterns were lit together, and the entire Bianjing Jing was splendidly illuminated. But this year's Lantern Festival, we knew that the teacher met him. to something very interesting."
Huinai: "That's right, maybe everyone doesn't know. That day, a female benefactor came to see the lanterns. When she met Uncle Ran, she stopped him and asked, which of the many lanterns in this temple is the brightest."
Speaking of this, the listeners have been aroused by interest, and secretly think about the memory in their hearts, which light will be on.
Backstage, with a confused look, "???"
Hui Bing: "Who is my uncle? Without blinking his eyes, he immediately replied: The lamp is the brightest in the Buddhist temple."
Huinai: "The female donor asked again: The Buddha lamp is in front of the Buddha, where is the heart lamp?"
Hui Bing: "Understood, the uncle said: "Old Na doesn't need to look at his lamp, and his own spirit will light up first. When the sky shines on the ground, the heaven and the earth are all bright."
A few cheers rang out from the audience, and everyone felt a little more energetic, not knowing what to do next.
Huinai imitated the aggressive tone of the female benefactor: "Can you illuminate the world, can you illuminate all surnames? Heaven and earth are all clear, can everyone understand it?"
Everyone held their breaths and listened to the answer, but heard Hui Bing's answer in a series of loose voices: "Yes, yes, yes." Like an old monk, and slightly exaggerated, there was a chuckle immediately.
This is also Hui Bing's on-the-spot performance. Hui Nai almost did not laugh, and asked again: "How many people have you seen?"
At this point, it has been transformed into an imitation without a trace, and there is a "Master's answer" in front of it.
Hui Bing: "See one, half."
Hinai: "Who is one and who is half?"
Hui Bing: "One is me, half is you."
Hinai: "I will borrow my teacher's seat to be with you."
Hui Bing raised his hand: "Go find a man!"
Everyone thought that it was a sharp machine in the end. Who knew that Hui Bing said a joke at the end, and it was just right. When he thought that it was said by a monk, his belly was bursting with laughter.
Even if it is very good and very choking, how can a monk ask a letter girl to find a man? It's too rude!
However, many people laughed and laughed, and felt that this was not a joke, but a wonderful tactic, which seemed vulgar, but was not at all blasphemous.
What the monk is doing is really serious. Although it makes you laugh at first, it does contain Zen philosophy when you think about it. So at this time, laughing again, is knowing and admiring, and whispering to explain to those who don't understand.
Anyway, from here, it can be said that the place is completely hot.
Yun Yanhui listened attentively in the background, and felt that the effect was good, at least the people in the audience understood. This paragraph just now is a classic excerpt from the historical reference book "The Story of a Lotus Woman in a Flower Lantern Sedan Chair", with a little adaptation.
And the core of this story is actually the story of the dragon girl offering jewels to the Buddha in Buddhism and transforming into a man and becoming a Buddha on the ground. The earliest Buddhism was sexist and believed that women could not become Buddhas. Later, Mahayana Buddhism had the concept of equality of all beings, but it did not allow women to become Buddhas directly, but women first turned into men and then became Buddhas.
So in the dialogue between the Zen master and the woman, he said that the woman is "half", which means that she has only a female body. If you want to become a Buddha, you need to "find a man". The surface is vulgar, but in fact he is pointing out the way to become a Buddha. .
If you have a little understanding of Mahayana Buddhism, you will naturally be able to understand the meaning behind this seemingly rude remark. If you don't understand it, you will have a sense of reversal suddenly knowing after the fact.
The opening was very good. Hui Nai and Hui Bing told three or two similar stories one after another, and they all used Xingyan as the protagonist. Although they all responded well, they were not as good as the first content." Brilliant".
This first one was specially chosen by Yun Yanhui and told them to be the first to use it.
In the third paragraph of the story of "Knowledge", everyone heard them again and again, "Speaking of our uncle, we know clearly..." Although they didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but laugh.
After the two of them finished speaking about the content of the invitation, the audience was still in the mood. At this time, they should have changed the pair to speak the scriptures. However, when they looked back at the ghost door, Yunyan opened the curtain and gestured to them. Because I feel that the atmosphere is right now, and they are also in a state, don't stop at all, and say a passage of scriptures, they are all practiced anyway.
So Hui Nai and Hui Bing confronted each other and told a story derived from Buddhist scriptures. Compared with the previous paragraphs that made people laugh or smile, the core of this story is compassion.
The audience, who were expecting to continue laughing, was surprised again, but they were also infected by the story, and most of the time, tears came down.
"Don't do evil, do good. Purify your mind. It's all Buddhism." After the two of them summed up with Buddhist verses, they performed the same 11 salutations as they did at the beginning, and entered the gate of hell.
The audience under the hook bar was silent for a moment, cheering loudly.
