1, The Mystery of Wang Xizhi's Learning Art Among Wang Xizhi's regular script works, Huang Tingjing is the most representative, leaving an interesting story about the creation of this work. According to legend, there was a Taoist in Yinshan who liked Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much and wanted to ask Wang Xizhi to write a Huang Tingjing. He had already prepared silk paper, but Wang Xizhi was already famous at that time, and the Taoist was worried that Wang Xizhi would not agree. Later, after much inquiry, Taoist learned that Wang Xizhi had always liked geese, so he deliberately raised a group of very cute big fat geese to show that he would act according to circumstances. One day, Wang Xizhi passed through Yin Shan by boat. The Taoist priest heard the news and rushed his flock of geese to the place where Wang Xizhi passed. Wang Xizhi saw a flock of white geese swimming in the river, paddling with their hands and holding their heads high, with white feathers and beautiful shapes. I don't want to mention how much I like them. He stopped the boat and watched it again and again, reluctant to leave. The Taoist priest on the side sees it in his eyes and enjoys it in his heart. He felt the opportunity came and asked Wang Xizhi if he wanted to take these geese away. Wang Xizhi asked the Taoist priest to make an offer. The Taoist priest pretended to say: How can such a good goose be willing to sell? But if you really like it, sir, write me a book in exchange for it. Hearing this, Wang Xizhi immediately agreed, and immediately spent half a day writing a volume of Huang Tingjing with great interest and giving it to the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest gets the treasure, he will immediately put the geese in a cage and let Wang Xizhi take them away. This is the story of "Book for White Goose" that people eulogized later. Why does Wang Xizhi particularly like geese? A poem by Bao, a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, may give us some enlightenment. This poem is written like this: "put all your energy into the extreme, and settle your feet first." When you realize that geese are swimming in the water, you know it is difficult to use five fingers. " The poem summarizes the essentials of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, saying that Wang Xizhi studied the posture of geese swimming in the water and realized the method of using a pen, that is, he should be "skilled in mind" when learning calligraphy, be very focused when writing, and have a correct posture, so that his five fingers can be used freely and effectively. Therefore, Wang Xizhi likes geese, which has a lot to do with his research on words and writing. Others think that this statement by later generations is far-fetched. Wang Xizhi likes geese just as we ordinary people like some small pets. It's just a hobby, it doesn't have that much connotation.

2. Zhu's frugal poem Zhu was a great philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was an official in North Korea and later devoted himself to academic works. Once, he went to visit his daughter. Daughter and son-in-law warmly entertain for fear of being left out in the cold. At lunch, my daughter embarrassedly brought out bowls of coix seed and a bowl of onion soup. After Zhu happily used it, he saw that his daughter and son-in-law were still nervous, indicating that the food was not delicious. Zhu smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed about this. Actually, this is very good. When I was an official in the imperial court, I didn't eat big fish and big meat. As the ancients said, wealth lies in hard work and laziness, from frugality to luxury. It is always good to be thrifty and housekeeping. I hope you can stick to thrift in the future. I'm here to give you a poem. " Zhu immediately wrote a poem: onion soup, wheat and rice are all suitable, and onion supplements wheat to satisfy hunger. Don't say that the taste is thin. There was still time for cooking in the village.

3. Fan Ceng wrote an inscription for Xu. Xu didn't know the famous painter before his death, but he made an epitaph for General Xu. It turned out that Xu Huashan, the daughter of General Xu, watched Wan's TV series "Chivalrous Woman to Eliminate Violence" and said that she liked to listen to the theme song (Wang) with lyrics. Wan Boao introduced Fan Ceng to her and arranged for her to meet Fan Ceng. When we met in Huashan, General Xu was already ill in Nanjing. When the general listened to his daughter talking about Fan Ceng's poems and paintings, although he was only middle-aged, Japanese friends had specially built the "Fan Ceng Museum of Fine Arts" for him, admiring his talents, hoping to see Fan Ceng's poems and paintings before he died. When Mr. and Mrs. Fan Ceng learned the news, they immediately expressed their pleasure in painting for the general. They learned that the general was born in a poor family when he was young and spared cattle for the landlord, so they decided to draw a picture of herding cattle. Soon the "Cattle Grazing Map" was completed. Unexpectedly, General Xu was critically ill and his wife and daughter had arrived in Nanjing. A few days later, the bad news came and the general passed away. Fan Ceng was very sad when he heard the news of the general's death. He immediately inscribed a poem on the painting: "The generals have come out from hundreds of battles, and the incense is inserted." . There are cows to be herded here in Shaolin, and there are tears in the ink. Poems and paintings were taken to Nanjing and dedicated to General Xu Memorial Hall. The whole family was very moved and immediately decided to ask for an inscription for General Xu.

4. The love of God in ancient China In ancient times, people regarded the person or god who was in charge of the marriage and reproduction of men and women as the love of God with the help of imagination. For example, the ancient Greeks created Aphrodite, and the ancient Romans created Venus and Cupid. And our ancestors also created a lot of Cupids. Ancestor Nu Wa is the oldest goddess of love in China. Ancient books such as The Book of Rites and Zhou Li recorded that Nu Wa prayed to the gods to let her be a matchmaker and take charge of the marriage between men and women. Later generations regarded Nu Wa as the goddess of love and built temples to offer sacrifices. Legend has it that every spring in March, young men and women come to Wo Temple to play, choose lovers and freely combine, with Nu Wa, the goddess of love, as matchmaker. The old man under the moon is the most famous love god in China, who wrote novels of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Gu's marriage was tied by an old man with a red line under the moon. Yue Lao holds HongLing in one hand and a stick in the other, and a marriage certificate is hung on the stick. He has a beautiful face, galloping in the smoke, specializing in human marriage. There is an old moon statue in the Moon Temple of Baiyun Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou. The temple said: "May all lovers in the world get married; Last life was doomed, don't miss the marriage. " Hehe Erxian is the most famous goddess of love in China. Two immortals (referring to Hanshan and Picked Up) hold a lotus flower and a box, and the lotus flower and the box are combined into one, which means harmony and unity. "Zhou Li" said: "Let the media get a wife and combine the two surnames." Therefore, he was in charge of family reunion, brotherhood and harmony with God, and later evolved into a main marriage and harmony with God. In addition, in our country, people regard the bright moon as the goddess of love and call it "Sister Moon". For thousands of years, many men and women who have privately booked the life in the back garden have bowed to the moon and made vows. As the saying goes, "flowers are tokens, and the moon is a matchmaker." However, all living beings along the coast of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong in China think that Maureen (also known as Mazu and Tianhou) not only protects the safety of seafarers, but also manages the love between men and women on earth, so she also respects Maureen as the god of love.

An interesting palindrome is an artistic expression, which can be read backwards or backwards. No matter how you read it, the meaning is similar. It's quite enjoyable. There is a Guanshan Temple in Maoming City, Guangdong Province, and a palindrome poem is engraved on the stone wall. Whether reading it in sequence or backwards, it is natural and infinitely interesting that the fishing boat sings seven poems in the evening. The poem says: the green water is close to the forest, and the sunset is surrounded by mountains. The ancient temple in Lin You has a solitary bright moon, and cold wells and cold springs reflect Taiwan. Gulls fly over the pond, fishing boats are cold, cranes come to the leisure pavilion and cyclamen come. You walk up the flower path, and the stream is far away. Li Yu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, has a unique palindrome poem called Memories of Husband and Wife, which is a love poem, expressing her husband's infatuation with his wife and children, remembering the singing of wine in the past, and now she is lonely and can't help but burst into tears. Reading backwards is a poem of missing, which expresses the young woman's missing for her distant husband. The poem says: dry eye syndrome looks far away from the mountain across the water, and I have seen several hearts. An empty pot is afraid of drinking a glass of wine, and harmony is difficult to write a poem. The distance between people is long, and there are no geese when the news is sent back late. The lonely light kept a long silence at night, and the husband remembered his wife, father and children.

Koumu often teaches Kou Zhun to read while weaving for others. But soon after Kou Zhun became an official, his mother died of illness. Before she died, Kou Mu painted a picture of the Cold Window Class with her own hands, and wrote a poem on it: "Reading the Lonely Lamp Class has its pains, and I hope that my son can cultivate himself for everyone." Diligent family style and the cultivation of loving mother, he never forgets poverty when he is rich. Koumu sent a page to pick up the painting and sent it to Kou Zhun at some time. "。 Kou Zhun's official career is smooth and smooth, and the official is the prime minister. Once, in order to celebrate his birthday, he invited two troupes to prepare a big banquet. When Liu Ma saw that the time had come, he gave this painting "Studying Hard at a Cold Window" to Kou Zhun. Kou Zhun read a poem while looking at the picture, and tears welled up in her eyes.

From then on, Kou Zhun was honest and honest, diligent in political affairs, and eventually became a famous figure.

7. Premier Zhou declined Nehru's invitation. Yunju Temple, also known as Xiyu Temple, is located at the foot of Baiyun Mountain in Fangshan District, Beijing. It is a large-scale and beautifully built temple. There are two pagodas in the temple, which are famous at home and abroad for their rich collection of stone tablets. 1956 During Indian Prime Minister Nehru's visit to China, Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied him to visit Yunju Temple and unearthed stone inscriptions. When Nehru saw these exquisite stone scriptures, he said with emotion: "Sir, India is the birthplace of Buddhism and is known as the land of Tianzhu in the West. Tang Priest, who was sealed in the Tang Dynasty in your country, went to the West to worship Buddha, retrieved thousands of scriptures and promoted Buddhism. Now I have come to Yunju Temple in China, known as the Little Paradise of the West, to witness these stone scriptures carved on stone tablets. Maybe some of them have disappeared in India. Please allow me to discuss with your Excellency that India is willing to exchange gold with the same weight for two stone scriptures with the same weight and transport them back to India for sacrifice. Please allow me. " Premier Zhou Enlai said with a smile, "These stone inscriptions are world miracles created by the people of China 1000 years ago, and they are called national treasures. Gold is valuable, but national treasures are priceless. As the Prime Minister of China, how can I exchange priceless national treasures for priceless gold? I can't promise, please forgive me. " Say that finish, the two prime ministers laughed.

8. Tian Gai Lyrics 1959 During the Spring Festival, Guo Moruo created the five-act historical drama Cai Wenji. At the end of the performance, Lao Guo felt that the lyrics of a chorus "See Youhua again" at the end of the whole play were not ideal, but they could not be revised because of illness and hospitalization. So I thought of Tian Han, the master of lyrics. Tian Han regards this entrustment as his own duty, and makes every effort to modify this lyric and send it to Lao Guo for examination and approval. After reading it, Lao Guo claimed that it was good, and the lyrics of deep affection and love were simply wonderful: "Teenagers go out to shed tears on pommel horses for two years in ten years." Wei Zaifu gasped and shook his head. He redeemed me and saw Hua You again. ..... "This lyric is not only affectionate and loving, but also integrated into Cai Wenji's" Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia "and sung in the play. Like "Eighteen Beats" and "That's like an endless wave, that's like lava from an active volcano, that's a unique cry with the whole soul", which have become masterpieces and eternal quatrains in lyrics. The works of Tian Han, a master lyricist, have also been revised by songwriters. In 1930s, when Tian Han wrote March of the Volunteers's lyrics for the film "The Son of the Storm", some sentences were not considered because they were scrawled on the cigarette case. One of the lines is "We braved the enemy's plane fire wholeheartedly", and Nie Er changed it to "braved the enemy's fire" when composing. Tian Han also praised this change very much, and he was always grateful for many years afterwards.

9. Wonderful judgment After Zhang Yongzhong moved, he was appointed as the magistrate of Chongyang County. Shortly after his arrival, when he was inspecting the yamen, he found that Qian Ku's deacon had put a penny beside his hat when he came home. After a period of observation, he saw the beadle doing this every day. One day, while the little official was repeating his old tricks, Zhang Yong caught him, detained him for stealing the national treasury and sent him to death row. The little official thought that the death penalty should not be imposed, so he shouted injustice. Zhang Yong wrote a verdict of 16 words: "A dollar a day, a thousand dollars a day, a rope was sawed off and a stone fell in." During the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, an imperial envoy was eloquent, and a confidant of eunuch Wei Zhongxian was jealous and wanted to play a joke on him. He tied a mouse to complain, claiming: "The mouse bit my clothes, and I came to Shi Yu to be convicted." Shi Yu pondered for a while and said, "It would be too light to exile this mouse with rattan, and too heavy to hang it. The official decided to sentence him to castration. " The man knew that the suggestion was ironic, and he had to admire the beauty of his judgment. The imperial clan of Ming Dynasty attacked by Zhu. There is a crane in Ningwangfu, which was given by the emperor. One day, a servant took a crane to play in the street and was bitten by a dog. The servant went to the office to complain, and there were eight words written on the complaint: "The crane with the gold medal is a royal gift." The magistrate received the letter and wrote: "The crane is a gold medal, but the dog can't read;" Animals and animals hurt each other, which is irrelevant. " The judgment was subtle and reasonable, and the servant had to obey it. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, there was a beautiful young nun in Quanzhou Temple in Fujian who fell in love with her son Sun. She wanted to marry a son as a wife, so she gave the form to the state officials. After receiving the letter, the Quanzhou magistrate approved the letter from the little nun: "Yes, yes, yes, you are allowed to marry your husband." Go to Zen, surpass Brahma, take off your robe and change your skirt, and Sun (the monk) will not knock at the door. "The judgment is both literary, interesting and wonderful.

10, Liang Qichao's wonderful hand changed into a lotus. Liang Qichao is a great disciple of Kang Youwei and has great talent. On Kang Youwei's 50th birthday, Liang Qichao contacted a group of reformists to celebrate Kang Youwei's birthday. The hall of Kang Youwei's residence is full of birthday couplets presented by people from all walks of life in Beijing. One of them wrote: "The country will die for the sake of old age." The last two words of the couplet are "you" and "Wei", which are Kang Youwei's names. This is obviously the die-hards' opposition to political reform and political reform. They put the crime of national subjugation on Kang Youwei and deliberately insulted him by quoting sentences from four books. When the reformers saw it, they all flew into a rage and stretched out their hands to tear it off. Liang Qichao quickly stopped them. Under the birthday couplet, Liang Qichao added four words with a stroke of his hand, which made the birthday couplet become: "The country will be loyal when it dies, and it is a blessing to be old and not die." Everyone was full of praise after reading it.
