Brief introduction of Xu Lin

(1462 ~ 1538) Ming Dynasty opera writer. I have lived in Nanjing since I was a child. Wang Shizhen said that Bi was more talented, but his works were not as good as Chen's. When he arrived, Hou Zun of Wu made a southern tour. Under the recommendation of the royal actor Zang Xian, he worked as a consultant beside Wu Zong. His lyrics were appreciated by the emperor and he was asked to be an official in the DPRK many times, but he resigned. Most of Xu Lin's Sanqu have not been handed down, and its style can be found in Nangong Ci Collection, in which two poems, Mountain Sheep and Leisure, are recorded. Xu Lin once wrote eight kinds of legendary dramas. Today, there is only Embroidery Story, which is about the love story between Li Yaxian and Zheng Yuanhe. The plot is based on Bai Xingjian's Biography of Li Wa, a legendary novel in the Tang Dynasty, but it is also influenced by Junbao Shi's zaju Yuanqu, Huajiu Qujiangchi. The image of Li Yaxian and Zheng Yun, the father of Zheng Yuanhe, is particularly successful. Li Yaxian, who was demoted as a prostitute, was pure and affectionate in heart, which was in sharp contrast with the appearance of Zheng Wei, a feudal bureaucrat, but in fact he was ruthless. Xu Lin is familiar with the life of the lower classes. The servant Lai Xing, the shopkeeper and the beggar in North Tianyuan in the play are all realistic and have their own characteristics, from which we can see the real side of social life at that time. There are few branches in the work, and the language is natural and refined, but the reconciliation between Zheng and his son is too simple and rude. In the 14th year of Zheng De's reign (15 19), he lived in southern China and let him stab Han. Wu Zong's family was lucky, and he cut a long beard to make dust. Lin's real name is Beard Weng, and his father called him Beard Bo. Industrial landscape, flowers, pine and bamboo, and banana stone are all in full swing. Also engaged in seal cutting. Make friends with Shen Zhou, Hongzhi visited Shen Zhou for three years (1490), and Wei Wu wrote "Xu Shen's Two Koreas" for him. He is proficient in music and calligraphy, and is good at painting landscapes, flowers and pine and bamboo. Good landscape flowers, calligraphy seal cutting. Japanese envoys tasted Xu Lin's works and treasured them. Wu Zongnan traveled, he entertained with vegetables and fresh bamboo shoots, drank and fished, and went to Beijing with the emperor. I like collecting books. When I was in Jinling, I built a "quick garden" to collect more versions of books such as members of the Song Dynasty. After his death, some of them carefully copied Song Xun, returned it to Mao Qingcheng and took it to Sichuan. Handed down from ancient times, there are "The Rabbit with Chrysanthemum Stone" and "The Stone with Flowers in Spring", which are now in the Palace Museum. Zheng Dejiu (15 14) made a flat peach picture in the first day of junior high school, which was included in China Famous Paintings Collection. He is the author of Travel Notes from afar, Travel Notes at Dusk, Travel Notes of Gu Hangqing, Collected Works of Li Bathhouse, Collection of Poems in Kuaiyuan, Painting Continuation Meeting, etc.
