- Speaking of Zhao Mengfu, people who don't like calligraphy may not know it, but many people know about his wife. People are familiar with Duan Sheng because of her most beautiful vow in the history of love - "My Nong Ci".
Guan Guansheng was a talented woman in the Yuan Dynasty. She was called one of the "two ladies in the calligraphy world" by the world, and she was as famous as Mrs. Wei in the Jin Dynasty. If you don't know who Mrs. Wei is, her disciple Wang Xizhi will know it anyway, and Duan Sheng is as famous as Wang Xizhi's teacher Wei Shuo, which shows how good his calligraphy is.
Guan Guansheng is the second young lady of the housekeeper. Her younger siblings are all married. She is twenty-five years old, and she is not busy looking for her husband's family. Fortunately, my father is not a pedantic person. Anyway, a good girl does not have to worry about getting married, and everything depends on her.
[1] "Self-titled Bamboo Stone" Poetry by Guan Guansheng
In the spring of the 23rd year of Zhiyuan [1286], the pipeline was upgraded to Huzhou Road [equivalent to a prefecture-level city] for play.
There is a Fahua Temple [1] at the east foot of Bianshan Mountain, the main peak of South Taihu Lake. Because of two myths and stories, it fascinates the faithful men and women in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, and it is crowded with people every holiday.
While playing, Guan Guansheng saw that there was something missing on the pink and white screen wall, so he asked the monks and nuns for a lake brush¡¾2¡¿, and with just a few strokes, a "Bamboo and Stone Picture" with a height of one foot and a width of five or six feet appeared on the wall. Above, oh, the bamboo is painted so vividly that it sways with the wind.
She wrote another poem on the right side of the painting:
? The peaks are far away with greenery at dusk, and the spring river is empty and green;
Look closely at the branches before the wind, and throw books and pillows with red stones.
As soon as this painting came out, many literati and students were attracted to watch it, and everyone asked who made this painting?
When it was heard that it was the masterpiece of Guan Sheng, a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River, there were naturally many people who came to propose marriage¡ªthere were officials' families and business people, but they were all rejected one by one.
Perhaps, she is waiting for a man who will spend the rest of her life with her.
Finally, this man appeared, and he was the 33-year-old unmarried Zhao Mengfu. Heh, this pair of talented men and beautiful women, one is not in a hurry to marry, and the other is not in a hurry to marry It seems that if you want to find a good marriage, you can't In a hurry, let alone make a living!
Zhao Mengfu did not come from an ordinary family either. He was the eleventh grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the direct descendant of Qin Wang Zhao Defang.
However, when Zhao Mengfu met Duan Sheng's paintings, he was really "lucky to have it". Zhao Mengfu, who often prides himself on calligraphy and painting, saw Duan Sheng's "Bamboo and Stone Picture", secretly admired and felt ashamed, and couldn't help feeling sorry for the talent of this strange woman.
"How can I see her?" Zhao Mengfu returned home, pondering in his heart, "Why don't you write a set of characters in exchange for a painting of ink bamboo for her?" As for what to write, it doesn't matter; It doesn't matter, the important thing is to meet first
He was busy writing close-ups, and the Lufu Yamen sent someone to pass him a message: Cheng Jufu, the censor of Xingtai, was ordered to search and visit the relics of the Song Dynasty who lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River. Out of more than 20 people, Zhao Mengfu ranked first.
[2] Zhao Mengfu's Poetry of Ridiculous Remaining Mengyan. The Past is Gone
Zhao Mengfu followed Cheng Jufu to Dadu, and was brought into the palace alone to meet Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan.
Emperor Shizu was very happy to see Zhao Mengfu's heroism and radiance, like a fairy among gods, and appointed him to sit on top of Shangshu Zuocheng Ye Li. At that time, the imperial court had just established the Ministry of Shangshu, and ordered Zhao Mengfu to draft an imperial edict and promulgate it to the world.
After reading the imperial edict, the emperor praised, "Well, yes, I have said what I wanted to say."
The imperial court summoned hundreds of officials to the Ministry of Punishments to discuss the formulation of criminal laws.
?Everyone thinks: "Anyone who has embezzled as much as two hundred guan ingots should be sentenced to death."
Zhao Mengfu believes: "The punishment is too heavy, because the value of banknotes has been greatly depreciated in the past few decades after the establishment of the Banknote Law. It is not advisable to use depreciated banknotes to determine people's life and death."
Some people saw that he was young, and he was from the south. He didn't understand the national conditions of the Yuan Dynasty, and thought that he opposed the use of precious banknotes to convict criminals because he wanted to hinder the popularity of precious banknotes.
Zhao Mengfu also retorted confidently: "The criminal law is related to the life and death of a person, and the seriousness must be distinguished. I was ordered to participate in the deliberations, and I dare not say nothing. If you are unreasonable and try to oppress others, this is not acceptable!"
The man was rendered speechless.
The emperor planned to reuse Zhao Mengfu, but was obstructed by some people in the court.
In June of the twenty-fourth year of Zhiyuan, the emperor appointed Zhao Mengfu as a doctor of the Ministry of War, mainly in charge of post stations across the country. At that time, the food expenses of the envoys had increased dozens of times compared with the past, and the local government could not afford to provide it. They had to force it from the people.
At that time, Zhiyuan banknotes could not be passed, so the imperial court sent Shangshu Liu Xuan and Zhao Mengfu to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate and deal with the provincial prime minister.A river flows out of the mountain, breaking the arrogance of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, man¡¯s calculations are not as good as heaven¡¯s calculations. Ten years later, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, took refuge in this Bian Mountain, and later raised troops against Qin and overthrew the Qin Dynasty here. Although Xiang Yu did not become emperor, after 770 years, at the Xiaruo Temple at the west foot of Bianshan Mountain, an emperor Chen Wudi Chen Baxian finally emerged, which Qin Shihuang could never have imagined. He would never have imagined that just 70 years before Chen Baxian proclaimed himself emperor, Biandonglu, whose neck veins were severed by him, would lead to a Baique mountain because of a bhikkhuni path trace. It happened to be the omen of "the Son of Heaven comes out of Bird Mountain".
Baique Mountain was originally named Shidou Mountain. It is said that in the fifth year of Yongming (487) of Emperor Liu Wu of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a nun named Daoji lived here and recited the Lotus Sutra every day for 20 years around the clock. And whenever Daoji recited scriptures, there would always be a flock of white sparrows circling around, as if they were worshiping and listening to the Dharma, and it had been going on for 20 years.
The local people respect it as Lingyi, so they renamed the mountain Baique Mountain. After Daoji passed away, her disciples hid her spiritual bones in a treasure niche and buried her behind the mountain house where she often read scriptures, covered with bluestone slabs. Unexpectedly, several years later, a green lotus flower suddenly emerged from between the bluestone slabs, which is very miraculous.
People believed that Daoji was the incarnation of Master Guanyin, so a "real body hall" was built at her burial place.
¡¾2¡¿Lake Pen
Hu brush, together with Hui ink, Xuan paper, and Duan inkstone, is called the "Four Treasures of the Study", and is an important symbol of the long and splendid Chinese civilization.
Chinese brushes originated very early. According to legend, Qin Shihuang's general Meng Tian "used dead wood as a tube, deer hair as a pillar, and wool as a quilt (coat)" and invented the brush. And "Hubi" is famous all over the world, when it was the Yuan Dynasty six or seven hundred years ago.
Before the Yuan Dynasty, Xuanbi was the most famous in the whole country. Su Dongpo and Liu Gongquan both liked to use Xuanzhou brushes; after Yuan Dynasty, Xuanbi was gradually replaced by Hubi. According to the records of "Huzhou Fuzhi": "Feng Qingke and Lu Wenbao made pens in the Yuan Dynasty. Hands, don't mind asking the price like a pearl." People are willing to pay a thousand dollars for Hubi, which shows its outstanding reputation.
The hometown of Hubi is in Shanlian Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Huzhou was the first choice for scholar-bureaucrats to rest in the mountains and forests. They and their vassal scholars chanted and paid for Qingbian, which led to the development of stationery; Literati paintings have influenced brush materials from mainly rabbit hair to sheep hair; Xuanzhou is close to the border of Song and Jin Dynasties, and in the one or two hundred years before the Yuan soldiers entered the bandits, some brushwork may have moved south to the Song Dynasty Huzhou is near Lin'an. All these have prepared the external environment for the gestation of Hubi.
Xuancheng, located in the south of the Yangtze River, withered due to the war, so Huzhou, which borders Xuancheng, was very lucky to be spared from the looting of the soldiers, and became a place where the survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty lived together. Some pen workers in Xuancheng moved to nearby Huzhou, relying on the only surviving group of brush users in the south of the Yangtze River to make a living, and improved the brush-making process according to their needs, and Hubi was born.
Lake pen is also called "Hu Ying", which is its biggest feature.
The so-called "spot" refers to a neat and transparent sharp point at the tip of the nib, which is called "spot" by people in the industry. The depth of "spots" is the length of the sharpness. It is carefully made from the finest goat hair through nearly a hundred processes such as soaking, pulling, combining, combing, connecting, and combining. "A hair" and "Although a hair is light, it does a lot of work" to describe the fineness and complexity of pen-making skills, so there is a saying that "Mao Ying's skills are the best in the world".
Huzhou has always been a place of success in the southeast, with successive generations of talented scholars and literary styles.
Famous calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fu, Su Shi, and Wang Shipeng were officials or lived in Huzhou; Cao Buxing, Zhang Sengxuan, Bei Yiyuan, Zhu Shen, Shi Gaoxian, Xu Biaoren, Yan Wengui and other talents in calligraphy and painting from Huzhou; Shizhi, the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi, lived in Yongxin Temple in the lake for more than 30 years. Their calligraphy and painting activities will surely lead to the rise of Huzhou's pen-making industry.
The reputation of Hubi all over the world began in Yuan Dynasty. Qian Shunju (Qian Xuan)'s paintings, Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, and Feng Yingke's pens are collectively known as Wu Xing's three masterpieces.
?With Zhao Zi's dominance in the country and the reputation of the government and the public, the "magic pen" of Feng Yingke, who holds a pen all day long in Zhao Mengfu's hand and writes thousands of characters every day without defeat, has spread his name and gained popularity. In the Yuan Dynasty, more than a dozen talented pen-makers in Huzhou emerged one after another. Feng Yingke, Shen Rixin, Wen Sheng, Yang Xianjun, Lu Ying and more than ten people left their names in the historical volumes, and the name of "Huzhou Brush" was established.
The fame of Hubi is related to Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher and painter of the Yuan Dynasty. He cared and valued the local Hubi production skills very much. According to the "Huzhou Fuzhi" record: He once asked someone to make a pen for him. Even if one was not satisfactory, he would be dismantled and remade. The requirements are very strict. This strict quality requirement has been passed down to this day. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
