    The Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains is the dividing line between the north and the south of China's geography, and Huai'an happens to be on this dividing line.

    2,500 years ago, in order to solve the problem of transportation of food and salaries, Fuchai led the Yangtze River water from Hancheng to Sheyang Lake and turned northwest to Huaibin, that is, Hangou.  The origin is thus planted.

    In the era when the Grand Canal carried the main shipping hub of China, Huai'an also ushered in its golden age.  "The boats from the south and the horses from the north are gathering merchants", and it is listed as the "Four Great Bazaars in the World" together with Hangzhou, Suzhou and Yangzhou.  At that time, Huai'an's economy mainly relied on official stationing and water transport services.  Of the millions of taels of official funds allocated by the Yuan government every year, the river takes three and the officials take seven.  Officials, big and small, who enjoy food, clothing, horses, horses, and so on, all compete with each other, and their affairs are extremely extravagant, and their grease is all in the streets.  The huge consumption of these government merchants also promoted the rapid development of catering, Goulan and other service industries, and Huai'an also became the earliest gourmet city on the Grand Canal.

    [1] "Flowers in the Backyard. A Boat with a Leaf in Qingxi River" by Zhao Mengfu. Ci

    A boat with one leaf in Qingxi River, autumn on both sides of Hibiscus.

    Whose daughter is Cailing, singing from Mu Gull.

    Chaotic cloud worry, head full of wind and rain,

    Dai Heye went back to rest.

    Zhao Mengfu, who passed by Huai'an, wanted to stay here.  What attracted him was not only the food and beauties here, but also the talents here.  Meng Fu wanted to invite Tang Hou, a famous local calligraphy and painting connoisseur, to be his vice-president at the Confucianism Promotion Department [1].

    He went ashore and walked on a small street in the countryside.

    On the clear stream by the roadside, there is a floating boat, and bright lotus flowers bloom on both sides, embellishing the picturesque autumn.  A lotus picking girl from someone's family sang a melodious song, and the singing flew into the lotus bushes, startling the water gulls that roost in the twilight.

    Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky rolled over, bringing with it violent wind and showers.  The lotus picking girl was calm, she picked a green lotus leaf calmly, put it on her head, and calmly rocked the boat on her way home.

    Zhao Mengfu also dispatched his followers, and hurriedly picked a few lotus leaves to make rain hats to keep out the wind and rain.

    A group of people came to Tang Hou's house in a hurry. Meng Fu knocked on the chai door, and a boy came out and asked, "Who is Mr. looking for?"

    Zhao Mengfu said: "Zhao Mengfu, a direct scholar of Jixian and a Confucian scholar in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, came to visit Mr. Caizhenzi."

    The boy said, "I can't remember the names of so many people."

    Zhao Mengfu was surprised and said: "There are not many people, just me"

    "Then you talk so much!?" The boy was still a little unhappy.

    "Oh~" Zhao Mengfu smiled and said, "Just tell your husband that Zhao Mengfu is here."

    The boy turned around and went into the house. After a while, he saw Tang Hou hurried out to greet him, "Ah, ah, brother Ziang, what gust of wind brought you here."

    "Just nowthe moment before the rain" Zhao Mengfu also hurried forward to salute.

    "You said you, why did it come when it rained."

    "Maybe, God has mercy on me for being so sincere!" After saying that, the two entered the room hand in hand.

    After drinking tea for a while, we talked about some lovesickness after parting, and then we brought up a topic that Tang Hou was interested in¡ªappreciation of calligraphy and painting.

    "Looking at a painting is like looking at a beautiful woman, whose strength of character is outside the body." Tang Hou said, "Nowadays when people look at ancient calligraphy and painting, they must first look for similarity in shape, and then look at Fu Ran, and finally the truth. This is really not the way to appreciate.  .¡±

    Zhao Mengfu echoed: "Brother Jun Zai is very true."

    "The method of looking at paintings cannot be a single way, but should be based on the propositions and intentions of the ancients. They each have their own way, how can we limit ourselves to what we have seen and heard to regulate the meaning of the ancients!" Out of interest, Tang Ge  He began to write a long and eloquent essay, "Beginners, you must explain the key points and read the records. Otherwise, even if you are a proficient appreciator, you will know what it is when you see a painting.  There is nothing wrong with it; even if you talk arbitrarily, hesitate for a while, spit out vulgar and absurd words, and have short-sightedness, you are ridiculed by those who know. My children, you must learn to appreciate calligraphy and painting. Young people nowadays have a lot of time. Why?  Do you not pay attention to calligraphy or painting? The benefits you receive are really not a single star! There is no one who did not pay attention to this. Chen Wuji [referring to the Northern Song Dynasty poet Chen Shidao]  There is a poem that says, 'Old man knows that calligraphy and painting are really beneficial, but he regrets that the time is not long' It is a sigh to read it!"

    "Very true, very true." Zhao Mengfu said, "Brother Jun Zai has had a lot of experience in these years, and he has made many friends. It is better to go to Beijing and meet Ke Jingzhong, a doctor of Jianshu. We can learn from each other and talk about Western art.  Wouldn¡¯t it be a merit to pass on to future generations the top quality paintings that I have seen in my life, appraise them in detail, and then select the ones that are particularly relevant and organize them into a book called "Painting Book"?"

    "No, no, no," said Tang Ge.nbsp; Vow to have a deep bond with fishermen and woodcutters.

    Sober up from the wine on the stone, ripen the tea in the mountains,

    Don't have the flavor of water cloud.

    ? Follow my life and my position,

    Good luck let him play.

    ?The pen is researched and enriched, and the book is written while it is in the mood.  Ziang"

    Zhao Mengfu also left eight small characters on the side of the paper, "A poem with a clumsy pen, counted as tea money".  After finishing writing, he tossed the pen and walked out of Tang Hou's house.

    He looked back at Tang Hou's thatched cottage, and murmured, "You are Zhuge Kongming, but I am not Uncle Liu Huang!"

    The entourage interrupted and said, "But, my lord is Uncle Zhao Huang."

    "Go!" Zhao Mengfu picked up the crutch and wanted to hit him, but his attendant stepped aside, "How about I also learn from Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, and light a fire for him, and burn this thatched cottage?"

    Zhao Mengfu shook his head with a smile, and left with his entourage

    Notes

    ¡¾1¡¿Confucianism Promotion Department

    Signed by the official of the Yuan Dynasty, the rank is from the fifth rank.  All provinces and provinces set up a department to manage the matters of sacrifice, education, money and food for schools in roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, as well as the submission of writings and writings by special schools.  Each division has one promotion member, one deputy promotion member, one official and two officials.  The three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Jiangxi belong to large provinces, and all of them have direct bachelors from the Jixian Academy of the third grade concurrently.  Each of the five provinces of Shaanxi has established a division, but the rest of the provinces have none.

    ¡¾2¡¿Tang Hou

    Tang Hou, styled Junzai, nicknamed Caizhenzi, was born in Shanyang (now Huai'an, Jiangsu).

    Tang Hou was once the head of Lanting Academy on Shaoxing Road (now Shaoxing College of Arts and Sciences), and eventually helped protect the government officials.  His father, Tang Binglong, was knowledgeable and famous for his poems.  Jun Zai inherited his family education from a young age, was familiar with classics and history, was good at archaeology, and was especially good at appreciating calligraphy and painting. He was a famous art connoisseur in the Yuan Dynasty.

    Later, Tang Hou went to Beijing and compiled and published the book "Huajian" (in "Chuzhou Series") with Ke Jingzhong, a doctor of book appreciation.  The book is composed of Cao Fuxing of Wu in the Three Kingdoms, Wei Xie and Gu Kaizhi of Jin, Lu Tanwei and Zhan Ziqian of Six Dynasties, Yan Liben, Wu Daozi, Wang Wei, Han Gan of Tang Dynasty, Jing Hao, Wei Xian and Yuan Yuan of Five Dynasties.  Righteousness, Li Guizhen, Mi Fu, Su Shi, Li Cheng, Lian Bu from the Song Dynasty, and nearly 80 famous painters such as Fa Chang, Gong Kai, Chen Lin, etc. have been evaluated to identify the good and the bad, and point to Chen Yuanyuan.  It can be read not only as an intensive appreciation of famous faces, but also as a concise reading of painting history.  Yu Jianhua's "History of Chinese Painting" even said that "this book can not only be read as "Painting Book", but also can be read as a painting method."

    There is also a volume of "Painting Theory" (contained in "Chuzhou Series"), in which he narrates the origin of his creation: "Since I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I have had the idea of ??being broad-minded. When I see pictures, I like to play with them.  Then he asked politely. Borrowing the records all over the place is like reciting a poem. After carefully appreciating the words, observing the famous sites, and referring to the ancient sayings, you will have little enlightenment. If you don¡¯t pay attention, you will just listen to the sound and follow the shadows, and you will not be able to learn from it.¡± Therefore,  I sorted it out into this book.  Therefore, this book focuses on various methods of appreciating and collecting paintings, among which the theory of appreciating paintings is the most numerous and the most refined.  If "Painting Review" is his practice of appreciating paintings, then "Painting Theory" is the method of appreciating paintings that he summed up and deduced from his practice. The two complement each other and should be read together.  You might as well regard the second book as a "Summary of Chinese Painting Appreciation".  If you read it like this, you can almost get Tang Hou's intentions in writing the book.

    Tang Binglong (1241-1323), courtesy name Ziwen, nicknamed himself a Beicun old man, was a poet and scholar in the Yuan Dynasty.  His ancestor was a wealthy family in Shanyang (now Huai'an), who was knowledgeable and good at talking.  His social connections became his channel into the high society of Hangzhou.  Later, Tang Binglong served as the Judiciary of Qingyuan City, and lived in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang) after his family broke down.

    ? Tang Fenglong, brother of Tang Binglong, was a tax collector on Huai'an Road at that time. He was first Baoying and later moved to Jingkou.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
