Dan Qing means to make it impossible.

From Mao Zedong and Guo Moruo to Qi Baishi, Qi Baishi was a master of painting. His poems, paintings, calligraphy and seals are all exquisite, which is a must in China's modern painting world. 1949 65438+1October 3 1, Beiping was peacefully liberated. Qi Baishi received a personal letter from Mao Zedong. After reading Mao Zedong's letter full of sincerity, kindness, honesty, courtesy and respect for the elderly, the old man Baishi was moved to tears. In order to express his reverence for him, Qi Baishi carefully selected two precious Shoushan stone seals, carved them into a carving knife, carefully engraved them with Zhu and white seals, wrapped them in rice paper and presented them to the poet Ai Qing. Mao Zedong received two seals from Qi Baishi, read them again and again, and found that the seal was a painting, so that the secretary could keep it and mount it. So there was the anecdote of "painting dispute". Mao Zedong, who loves the art of calligraphy, received two seals from Qi Baishi and couldn't put them down. In order to thank the old man Baishi, Mao Zedong gave a banquet in Zhongnanhai and invited Guo Moruo to accompany him. A great leader, a master of literature, a master of painting, a banquet hall, and three people talking about poetry and painting are really a great pleasure. Mao Zedong Shouzan raised his glass to the old man Baishi, thanking him for presenting his seal and Chinese painting. Qi Baishi was shocked and asked Mao Zedong, "When did I draw a picture for the chairman?" Mao Zedong smiled and said to the secretary, "Bring the painting and let the painter verify it himself." This is a Chinese painting, which depicts a lush plum tree with a flock of furry birds on it. Under the tree, a simple and honest old cow looked at the birds sideways, which was quite artistic. After seeing this painting, Qi Baishi suddenly realized that it was a "waste" of his pen practice, and he didn't pay attention to sealing Mao Zedong with it. Mao Zedong was inlaid with silk and became a treasure. Qi Baishi said shyly, "Madam President, it was all my negligence. She can't give it to you. If you like this kind of pen and ink, I'll draw it right away. " "This is what I like!" Mao Zedong said stubbornly. Qi Baishi stood up after listening, shook his beard and said, "Chairman, if you don't promise, I will rob you!" " Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Moruo came over, blocked the painting with his body and said, "This Mo Bao is for Guo Moruo. If you want to take it away, you should ask me! " "No, my name is marked on the painting!" Guo Moruo explained. Qi Baishi looked at the painting, but there was not a word on it. Shook his head, guessing the meaning. Guo Moruo laughed: He pointed to the picture and said, "How many birds are drawn on this tree?" "Five." "There are five birds in the tree. Isn't that my name? " Guo Moruo attaches great importance to the tone of the word "Wu Shang". Qi Baishi stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Good! Boss Guo is a warrior. You are really a poet's mind! " "Let me go. Didn't you see my name on the painting? " Mao Zedong said. "Your name?" Guo Moruo and Qi Baishi were stunned. Watching the two men become speechless, Mao Zedong laughed and said happily, "What tree did Bai Lao draw?" "Li Zishu." "Is it lush?" "Lush." "Plum trees are very lush-isn't that my taboo?" "Li Desheng" is homophonic with the code name "Desheng Li" when he moved to northern Shaanxi, so this painting is for him. Qi Baishi was happy: "So, painting is still a bit interesting. Then, would you please give me some words on the paper? " They readily agreed that Mao Zedong's inscription "painters intentionally make this impossible" and Guo Moruo's answer "There is always a poem in the chest of a saint". Qi Baishi was overjoyed to get this picture of Mo Bao: "If you praise Baishi like this, I can take it away. "Two politicians are no match for an artist, but the three of them smiled at each other and laughed. Books and paintings have built a bridge of friendship between Mao Zedong and Qi Baishi.
