Question description:
What is the style of the work?
Analysis:
Zhang Ruitu was born in Jinjiang, Fujian. He once served as prime minister in Renge. His calligraphy is very good, and he is as famous as Dong Qichang, another great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, and is known as "South Zhang and Beidong". Famous mountains and scenic spots in southern Fujian still have Zhang Ruitu's inscriptions. At that time, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was in power and was so powerful that the courtiers who fawned over him were afraid of his power, so they all fell under his sect and tried to become his "godson". Emperor Tianqi was fatuous and incompetent, so he ordered Wei Zhongxian to build "shengshi" in various provincial cities across the country. When Wei Zhongxian's "shengshi" in the capital was about to be completed, Wei Zhongxian suddenly wanted to imitate Fengya and planned to ask Dong Qichang to inscribe a plaque for his new words. Dong Qichang had long held a grudge against Wei Zhongxian. When he heard the news, he immediately came up with a way to deal with it: he asked one of his trusted servants to ride horses with him to the countryside. When they arrived at a lively place, Dong Qichang deliberately tightened the horse's rope and made the horse jump. Roll and fall to the ground. When the servant helped him up, Dong Qichang's right arm was broken. The next day, the news that "Dong Qichang broke his right hand while riding a horse" spread throughout the streets and alleys and inside and outside the palace. Dong Qichang found an excuse and secretly ran to his hometown to "recuperate".
After Dong Qichang left, the only one who could be called a master of calligraphy was Zhang Ruitu. In this way, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to call him and asked him to inscribe a plaque for the Shengsi Temple in the capital. Zhang Ruitu came to the court room and saw gold qianliang on one side and crane-top red poison on the table. Zhang Ruitu was caught off guard, unable to evade, and unable to escape. What words should I write? He could never think of a suitable sentence. After being prompted by Wei Zhongxian's party members, he reluctantly wrote the four characters "Optical Pillar" in Chinese style. He refused to sign and came back. Soon after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he began to purge the eunuchs and killed Wei Zhongxian, which implicated many people. Zhang Ruitu once inscribed a plaque for Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall, and was also implicated.
It is said that Zhang Ruitu hurriedly fled back to his hometown after Wei Zhongxian's incident. However, the imperial court was pursuing him very hard, and the Royal Forest Army was ordered to go south to capture him. Zhang Ruitu was very frightened. Within a few days, he became emaciated. When his wife saw his handsome appearance, she couldn't bear to say: "Mr., take good care of your health, don't go crazy!" "Crazy?... Yes!" Zhang Ruitu recognized his heart and was overjoyed. "Didn't Sun Bin pretend to be crazy to escape Pang Juan's persecution? I can also use this method to save myself!" So he quickly called his family to buy meat dumplings, salty rice dumplings, black sesame seeds and brown sugar, and then smashed them together , turned into a black, sticky, very ugly thing, and then these things were squeezed into sections with bamboo tubes, just like dog shit.
The next day, the family reported: "The Quanzhou Prefecture is on guard, accompanied by the Royal Forest Army, riding on a big horse." Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruitu and his wife made arrangements as planned. Soon, the Royal Forest Army, accompanied by the guards of Quanzhou Prefecture, came to Zhang Ruitu's hometown. They saw Zhang Ruitu with disheveled hair, face covered with soot, clothes torn like a "signed poem" in a Buddhist temple, covered with pig manure, and one foot was bare. The other foot was dragging a broken shoe, and he was laughing and laughing...
"Zhang Ruitu is really crazy!" Both the imperial guards and the guards had doubts in their hearts. They want to see what happens again. I saw Zhang Ruitu muttering words: "Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Kongming Zhuge Gong... I am Zhang Yao's master who came to earth! Hee hee... haha..." As he read, he fell on the floor of the pig pen again. He stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of pig shit, and put it blindly to his mouth. He also stuck out his tongue and licked the palm of his hand again and again, as if he was eating something particularly delicious.
After a while, Zhang Ruitu stood up, walked out of the pig pen, and came to the open space of his house, still mumbling something. The local walked to a pile of "dog shit", bent down, reached out to grab the "dog shit", and ate it in big gulps. How did the officers know that the "dog shit" he ate was exactly what he and his wife had done? The sweet rice dumplings made together in the evening!
Zhang Ruitu saved his life by pretending to be crazy, so he stayed in his hometown for a long time and wrote a large number of excellent calligraphy works that have been passed down.
The open space in front of his house is still called "Shit Po" because he pretended to be crazy and ate "pig manure" and "dog shit", and the "dog shit candies" he made are also popular. It came down and became the candy that children loved to eat.
