On the Popularization of Literature

Recently, I copied many sketches of famous artists in Song and Yuan Dynasties and sent them to my circle of friends. Some friends read it and said it was a bit popular. Here, I want to make it clear that if there are any literati in the copied small paintings, it should all be attributed to the ingenious brushwork of the ancients, and other problems should be attributed to my poor handwriting. I bought a pen and paper as a gift from Yipintang, which is bigger than my thumb and tacky. Naturally, there is not enough leisure. Brother Ren Ming, who is engaged in mahogany research, couldn't bear to see it and decided that our hibiscus stone seal was carved by the teacher on the island. And encouraged me to continue painting, saying that it is not easy to have such leisure. I just feel that life is boring now. The main reason for leisure at home is that going out hurts money. It is better to stay at home and take care of the sunset outside. And there are experts to give directions, and the painting is more energetic. Generally speaking, painting is much more convenient and cheaper than in ancient times. A set of paper and pens is less than 100 yuan. I also saw some electronic pictures or printed materials drawn by the ancients on the Internet. Of course, it is best to go to the museum to observe the original works.

The spirit of literature and art is difficult to describe, but there are traces to follow. Su Shi, for example, especially praised the poet and painter. He made a comparison between Wu Daozi and Wang Wei, and thought that although Wu Daozi was superb in painting, he was still too cunning and belonged to the class of painters, while Wang Wei was different. Wang Weigong's poetry and prose have a good temperament, and Su Dongpo called his paintings "like a fairy thanking a cage fan". The default observation object of literati painting is not the general public, but people who know or have similar characteristics with the creator. The phenomenon has continued, and it is better for the public to look at commodity paintings than literati paintings.

Speaking of the style of writing, it is inevitable to mention "Nanjing" in Wei and Jin Dynasties, where people do not play cards according to common sense. Nanjing was called Jinling in ancient times. What a rich name Jinling is. If you change to Nanjing, the taste is really far from it. I once read a post about how to change the name of every place to be destroyed, such as Changshan to Shijiazhuang, Runan to Zhumadian, Luzhou to Hefei and so on. I don't think so, even if the situation is the opposite, it can be used to criticize. Because it makes sense to say it backwards. Because of its geographical location, Nanjing has always been a battleground for military strategists. Qin Shihuang once showed two alchemists how to look at Feng Shui when he was on an east tour. He saw it himself, and felt that Jinling was a land of dragons and tigers, full of purple gas and king gas. Qin Shihuang is in a hurry, so come on, this world belongs to Zhao family! The wrath of this king can be cured! So he ordered to cut the square mountain, break the dragon, and blaspheme into the river to vent the king's anger. That's not enough. He decided to change the name of the base in Jinling. Change what? With a wave of his imperial pen, he called it Moling. Mo is forage, Mo Ling is pasture. After Moling was renamed Jianye and Jiankang. Li Qingzhao said, "When spring comes back to Liling Tree, people build Kangcheng Old." Health City is one of them. There are also special scholars who have done research and statistics on this, saying that Jinling's kingly way has been washed away and its style has changed. As soon as the spirit of literature and art comes up, there will be more talents and beautiful women. Of course, there is no lack of metaphysics here.

There is a story in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, which happened in Xiaojiadu. There are many ancient crossings in Jinling, such as Taoyedu, Xiaojiadu, Jinwangdu and Xuanhua Gudu. , are the scenes of the story, quite romantic. On one occasion, Wang Huizhi went to Xiaojiadu by boat. A friend in the same boat saw Huan Yi riding by on the shore and told Wang Huizhi, but Wang Huizhi and Huan Yi were strangers. Huan Yi, a modest man, is a musical genius. He is good at playing the flute and is known as "the first in Jiangzuo". A song "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms" has been passed down through the ages. Xie An called him "persistent and affectionate" and a handsome man, probably just like Hugh's "Kirin gifted scholar Jiang Zuomei Lang". Bow before meeting people and behave gracefully.

When Wang Huizhi went ashore, he saw that this man was as rich as jade, different from ordinary people, just like Nongfu Spring. He opened the bag, put pen and ink aside, wrote a note and sent it, which said: I heard your flute is good, can it be next time? (Wen Junshan plays the flute and tries to play it for me) Huan Yi looks at the note and looks up at Wang Huizhi. Without saying anything, he turned over and dismounted, put a little hemp, waved the hem of his robe, sat up and played the flute. His flute is called Keting Flute, which was handed down by Cai Yong, the father of talented woman Cai Wenji. Ke Tingdi is as famous as Jiao. What a good horse with a good saddle! Huan Yi got three notes for a * * *, one for Hanshan green calyx, two for Shanshan green shadow, three for triple plum blossom. With that, he put away his flute and scabbard, bowed and turned back to the carriage. Wang Huizhi still stood, a face of intoxication. When he opened his eyes, Huan Yi had disappeared.

At that time, Huan Yi was already the secretariat of Jingzhou. Now it is almost the level of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and he became a vassal official at a young age. It's great that the musical talent is so exquisite! But Wang Huizhi is not famous at this time, he is just an ordinary civilian. It is hard to imagine. Just like walking down the street today, I met a leader who is good at playing the flute. Can you ask him to get you a flute? It's strange that he didn't kill you. However, a similar situation has become a common practice at that time, and two people appreciate each other (it seems that the same sex is still in the majority, please pay attention here). There are often two martial arts experts in martial arts novels, who confront each other at the top of the mountain and say nothing. After the discussion, they left.

Supposedly, they have never met for the first time. How can they be polite? Just like how to leave a phone signal to the other party before leaving now, when saying goodbye, I said I would contact you often in the future, but it seems that I have never contacted you. Interpersonal relationships are subtle and unfamiliar.

Poetry, calligraphy and painting, which we usually say, are always associated with people. Who paints is often more important than what he paints, and it is better to be handed down as an official by poetry and painting. There is still hope for a very important person to inscribe everywhere. Where a pontoon bridge is built, there are always a few words. It is said that the cost of touch-up pens is quite terrible. It's hard to say such a word is good. It is unrealistic for a work not to attach status, money, etc. So some people say that it is good to have experts and no masters in this era. It doesn't matter if you can't get it back, because it is the most useless. It can only be used as a seasoning for peace and prosperity, not as a wrist for a strong country and a strong army, and not as a meal.
