Jinmen, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, invited Meng Guanghui to return home.
On the evening of the 3rd, an old couplet nearly a hundred years ago was sent from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to Tianjin as a gift to an old man who was nearly eighty years old. This old man is Meng Zhaolian, the son of Meng Guanghui, one of the four great calligraphers in Jinmen in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. This couplet was written by Meng Guanghui at the request of Feng Xu, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. A couplet evokes a story in the Golden Gate book circle.
The content of this couplet is: "After the rain, the banana blossoms are red, and the wind returns to the green leaves." The couplets are soft in paper. Although they have a long history, they are mostly historical vicissitudes. Meng Zhaolian recalled that Meng Guanghui was famous for his calligraphy when Feng Xu was working in Shaanxi. I am good at poetry, parallel prose and calligraphy, and my writing is mellow and simple, with bones and flesh. Their accomplishments in calligraphy make them admire each other and often make friends through writing. At that time, Feng Xu was overjoyed when he saw this pair of couplets, that is, he praised them: they combined the previous book style with himself, and were elegant and full of spirit.
