But the hermit in the eyes of the people undoubtedly cast a veil of mystery, Lu Hongyi's body is filled with a historical mystery, his first name has two versions, according to historical records, Lu Hongyi, the word Hao Ran, also called Hao Ran, date of birth is unknown, "Old Tang book" said in the name of Lu Hongyi, "the new book of Tang" is called Lu hong. In ancient times, "official" is usually the life of scholars, and Lu Hongyi but why doesn't the official?
From the historical point of view, Huang Di visited him in Kongtong mountain, Yaodi Jishan Shanrang in the world, by the nest father's story, meaning the "truth" with "high master Dade" in the hands of the hermit. Since ancient times Songshan is a famous Taoist, is believed to be haunted, immortal Tao gods, the legend of Zhou Zhaoshi Zhou Ling, son of king Prince Shanxi, Songshan and a public cohabitation Fuqiu, and Lao Tzu had a "moral" and other stories in Songshan, the ideological and cultural foundation for the development of Taoism in Songshan. In Songshan East peak in Huang Gai temple, "Five" is the largest Taoist temple, has been the long-standing Taoist activities in the central plains. The Eastern Han dynasty founded by Zhang Daoling "Five" originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty famous Taoist Zhongyue Songshan, Kou Qianzhi, Songshan and founded monastic seclusion mountain north of Taoism, which here became the birthplace of Taoism north. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, after the emperor Li Yuan, the founder of Taoism and the Royal surname, with Lao Tzu being descendants of the Taoism became the state religion, a great influence to the political society, the famous Taoist monastic seclusion in Songshan with Lu Hongyi, Sun Taichong, Sima Cheng, pan Shizheng Zhen, Li Quan, Wu Yun and so on, the Taoist temple in Songshan.
"Huang Lao" philosophy is the fundamental purpose of the Zhongyue Taoist theme culture for thousands of years, affects the ideology and behavior of China society, provides "yeast" for China intellectuals of the hermit complex, has great influence on the ancient scholars. Studying hard, seeking fame "is almost a culture for thousands of years the only goal in life, it is not difficult to understand why Lu Hong must act in a diametrically opposite way, but to the" single plank bridge "to start a hermit. According to historical data on the Hong Lu is a knowledgeable scholar, he is honest and selfless, very hate Wu Zhou Dynasty maladministration, see asatsuna is of no interest or power, career, Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan, Lu Hong simply detest the world and its ways in solitude and they came to Songshan mountain forest, hanging Lian Feng to start a hermit.
In the early days of LU Hong's seclusion in Songshan, he emphasized the value of the supremacy of individual life, emphasized the concealment of life style, and regarded hermit life as his ideal end result. In Songshan, Lu Hong daily in poetry and painting, and Wang Wei's fame, contented and happy. Here, he met the famous monk around Songshan Daopu Ji, Sima Chengzhen, Jackson Daoan, the great poet Li Bai had three time to come to Songshan and visit have long admired Lu Hongyi, they often together drinking poetry, study knowledge.The spring and autumn and Warring States, and not for the emperor, falling of ceremony, but from the princes, so Confucius denounced as a world without, since the rulers can not bear, so the burden falls on the shoulders. "Potential", scholars and princes are not comparable, but the representative of "Tao", the legitimacy of the regime, only the "potential" is not enough, the rulers can rely on force to conquer the world, called immediately to take the world, but not enough, the ruler must also get the "Tao" support, and control in his hands, so the rulers should respect the people, in order to get their help. The ancients said: "no art people, although living in the downtown, no hire; talented, far away in the mountains, it was heard."." Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan years of Tang Xuanzong, Li Longji, I heard that Lu Hongyi knowledge, looking forward to the rich, is very important, that is called Lu Hongjin Palace official. Unexpectedly, Lu Hong did not move for high official positions and riches declined, even the good. Tang Xuanzong is still not discouraged, and sent envoys to focus on Eli Lilly, please Lu Hong, but Lu Hong still unmoved. In the year 717, for the third time Tang Xuanzong under the edict to Lu Hongyi, sincere words to say: I is a lack of the ability of people, with the emperor ascended the position, who did not study well regret Daoism every time with the government, both of you. You not only have Lao Tzu metaphysics of Confucianism, and the practice of a middle course. Your noble character, known as a country that is comparable to the ancient sage. It is because I have to Xianzhi meaning to you, because of the urgent needs of the country, only under the edict to invite you in Korea, and discuss state affairs. Can you see the edict, always wrong to live up to my heart. In the imperial edict, Tang Xuanzong said he "humbly lead to Lu hung", "Alice to left Yin", "Yi Hong Lu asked quickly, my mind is negative". Helpless, Lu Hong had to call to. In 718 ad, Lu Hong to the east of Luoyang, but he did not see the emperor bow, bow only. Tang Xuanzong asked: "why do I not see your ritual worship, do not know the official ceremony?" Lu Hong replied: "I have heard that Lao Tzu cloud, the so-called ritual, the faithful people will see light. I am in the heart of the faithful come to appear before the emperor, not really not worship also."
Tang Xuanzong after listen to admiration, then thanks to Lu Hongyi as counsellor doctor (the equivalent of today's advisor) to give him, chop, robes. Lu Hongyi is not affected by resolutely declined Tang Xuanzong feel Lu Hongyi is a man, decided to respect his choice, the fate of Dengfeng local officials in suspension to LU Hong Lian Feng built a house, named "LU Hong cottage" as a shelter (namely Lu cliff temple, the remaining sites). Every year Tang Xuanzong also gives LU Hong, 100 meters, 50 pieces of silk and medicine, so that the state and county officials along the way will escort Lu Honghui and Songshan to live in seclusion. After Lu Hong resigned three imperial seal things spread, someone said: "what is the poem wind sweeping, this complex world of Lu Hong."
After returning to Songshan, Lu Hongguang move the world students in Hong Lou cottage in the lecture, the students all over the country after hearing the news, came to Songshan Doushi under Hongmen lu. When Lu hung cottage the most prosperous, reached 500 people Guangju apprentice, a prosperous time style. Good painting Lu Hong cottage around the landscape painting of an "cottage ten Chi map", depicts the scenery of Songshan and his life as a recluse, this figure was later included in the "the Imperial Palace" three hundred kinds of paintings in a book. From the thinking and behavior of the imperial seal Lu Hong farewell to return to Songshan after the affairs of state power to run, he will be as a hermit "a world without time" means the pursuit of Confucianism "into the world", "benevolence" and "meritorious" values, in the ideological level more Norway Teng Space -- hidden for road side Germany famous, out of Confucianism and make contributions.During the period of Lu Hongyi's creation of "ten diagrams of Songshan", it not only shows the art of painting, but also more importantly, the spiritual quality that overflows from the heart. The "cottage king hall, Taiwan, but Yue Ting, brocade, Cong Shen smoke from you, a period of Xian alum, power Chui Ting, Dong Yuan room, Jin Bipiao", said the mountain must win ("Guangchuan painting postscript"), with lofty, pure, beautiful and moist rich art realm. Latent thinking, subtle and leisurely feeling, which is consistent with the intellectuals' aesthetic and aesthetic ideal, in writing skills, the pursuit of ink concise, Wan Li, purification, realism, the performance of Lu Hong in the art of painting on profound attainments, especially in the landscape painting creation of creativity into "realism". After, was known as the "originator of the ink landscape painting realistic".
Unfortunately, the original lost for a long time, only to see the Northern Song Dynasty painter Li Gonglin's "map" to the cottage ten records, but still can make people appreciate the original style, has become painters attention and copying paintings. The cottage ten Chi figure in the small inscription is quite exciting, the problem for each scene, or imitation, or imitation of Chu Yu, Yan or imitation, are both God shaped, Nairen taste. Even Li Gonglin, or to Yang Jin of the Qing Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, or yangningshi, is a study of Lu Hong's inscriptions, ink paintings and calligraphy of the song before the small precious materials. "The whole Tang poetry" included Lu Hong Saoti poem 10 (attached), called "Songshan ten Chi", is the description of Songshan scenery, singing his reclusive life, LU Hong and a painting achievement, has been incorporated into the art college textbook, as a model for students to learn to copy, or appreciation.
Lu Hong is not a hermit living in seclusion in Songshan, curry favour by claptrap to do this he made a lifetime hermit, until 740 dead. So, after the Tang Dynasty in the history of the sort of revered figures, ranking the "seven": Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui Li Sheng will be the truth, really, really for the name show officials, Li Bai really put Bai Juyi, really, Lu hung for it.
Is the so-called "people a name, what, today, although Lu Hong has passed away for thousands of years, Luya Waterfall Scenic Area, there are many Lu Hong related sites and cultural landscape, such as Lu Ya Si, Tan, Tan Lu, I stamped Hong cottage (stone) and so on. Behind these scenes, there is always a moving folk tale, which bears the memory and reverence of the people of Songshan to Lu Hong, the true hermit.
After the death of Lu Hongyi, the son of the cottage homes for the temple to "Lu Ya temple". Song to commemorate the peak in a widely-read Songshan Jiming (now North Village) built "LU Hong cottage", after the Ming Dynasty to "Lu Ya temple". A lot of poems of the ancient poets write Luya waterfall, Yuan Dynasty poet Yang Huan traveled as "Lu Ya Luya waterfall" a poem: "from the name itself, the body also made barren. Less than a thousand years later, the empty cliff has surnamed lu." The Ming Dynasty Dengfeng county magistrate Houtai made "Lu Ya" poem: "Lu Yajia Taishi, wins takes from heaven. The spring hangs the Pearl foil, the mountain surround Jasper Yuping." The poet of the Ming Dynasty, the "high" Luya waterfall is most famous for its first few: "East peak, cliff side cut half lotus solitary.
