Li Taibai is my favorite poet through the ages. Whether he likes it or not, he is called my family Taibai. I don't know how many people in China know a few words, so I don't know Li Bai's name. His uncle, Li, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, praised him for "walking alone for thousands of years" and was deeply impressed.
But most people know Li Bai's poems, but they don't know that Li Bai's calligraphy is equally magnificent and extraordinary. Xuanhe Pu Shu records that Li Bai's calligraphy works include running script Taihuafeng, cursive script Sui Shiwen, drinking poem Drunk Post and so on. It also reads: "White flavor is a running script, calligraphy and painting You Ya." Unfortunately, these works have been lost. Fortunately, Li Bai's only remaining Mo Bao's Shangjietie is still visible.
Many years ago, watching the anecdote of Mr. Zhang Boju, one of the four sons of the Republic of China, in 1937, he spent 60,000 yuan to buy four treasures, including Shangjietie, and donated them to the collection of the Palace Museum. What is the concept of 60,000 oceans? I made a special search: at that time, a set of standard quadrangles in Beijing was worth1.300 million yuan, and 60,000 yuan could buy 46 1 set of quadrangles. I was really shocked, so I quickly found a white look.
Shangjietie is a four-character poem written by Li Bai in grass, with a length of 28.5cm and a width of 38. 1cm. It is a 25-word paper book, elegant and detached, full of thoughts, ups and downs, full of love and endless fun. Just like his poems, others can only use his own two poems to describe his momentum: One day, Dapeng rises with the wind and soars into Wan Li. In addition to the amazing surprise, I shouted: "My house is too white!"
"Shangjietie" is square, but it has its own air, and it is bold and broad-minded on a piece of paper; Scattered immortals, just went to Yaochi for a dinner, dotted with paper and clouds, with an informal appearance, and a fairy posture of Jiao Ran, which belongs to the immortal roots and temperament of fallen immortals.
Balcony Temple (now called Balcony Palace) is located in Wuwangshan, Jiyuan City, Henan Province. It is a Taoist temple established by Sima Chengzhen, a Taoist master. Sima Cheng Zhen is very famous. He is not only profound in Taoism, but also highly accomplished in poetry, books and paintings. He is also the emperor's teacher. Princess Yu Zhen, Xuanzong's sister, also followed him to become a monk, and Li Bai had a great relationship with him.
In the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), Li Bai went out to visit the Three Gorges in Sichuan and met Sima Cheng, who was in his eighties, in Jiangling. Sima Chengzhen admired the 23-year-old Li Bai very much, saying that Li Bai "has a saint-like style and can walk with God." Please ask Li Bai to wander with him to cultivate immortality. At this time, the young Li Bai was full of ambition, eager to make contributions, appreciated by Sima, and even more energetic. He happily wrote Fu Dapeng, comparing himself to a Dapeng bird, and Sima Chengzhen compared himself to a rare bird. What he wants is that air jet will generate clouds of six rivers and hair will fly thousands of miles. Therefore, he resolutely bid farewell to Sima Cheng Town, and he will go straight to Yun Fan to save the sea!
Unexpectedly, in Chang 'an for 20 years, he went through the arduous road of seeking an official for 16 years. Only after He Zhangzhi recommended the official to seal the Hanlin, Li Bai, summoned by Xuanzong, went out with a smile. He thinks he can finally show his ambition. However, I found myself a lark singing hymns in the palace, which was quite different from my ambition of "applying for Yan Guan's talk, seeking the skills of emperors, striving for the wisdom of emperors, and willing to help settle the Atlas area and clear the sea and county".
He is unhappy, self-destructive, drowning his sorrows in wine, crazy and rebellious, and is excluded everywhere. In the third year of Tianbao (744), Xuanzong gave money.
I used to think that Li Bai lacked political talent. Recently, I read several articles about his flattery, which have changed a lot. In order to realize his ambition, he is willing to bow his eyebrows and bend over to serve the powerful people. A flexible mind and thick skin are necessary qualities for a politician. But history and fate didn't give him such an opportunity.
This year, Li Bai was 43 years old, and the golden age of men's career has passed. In this confusion and sadness, Li Bai left Chang 'an with Du Fu and Gao Shi to visit Sima Cheng Town. I didn't expect Sima Cheng to have passed away. I didn't see him, but I saw his paintings. Li Bai was deeply moved and wrote "Shangjietie" with a wave of his hand.
There are only four words 16 in the poem: the mountains are high and the water is long, and there are thousands of images. Unless you have an old pen, you can be strong or poor. Other signatures: 18, book on the terrace, Taibai. Some words are blurred, but I can still recognize them.
The title of Shangjietie is "Qinglian" in Qianlong regular script, and the title of "Shangjietie in Tang Dynasty" is written in a thin gold book at the upper right of the text. After the paper, there are inscriptions by Yuan, Du Ben, Ouyang Xuan, Yuan, Qi Lu and Qing Qianlong. Before and after the volume, across the water, there are Zi Gu and Zhai Yi by Zhao in Song Dynasty, Chou He Book by Jia Sidao, Zhang Yan's Private Seal and Ouyang Xuan Seal in Yuan Dynasty, as well as the collection seals of Xiang, Heqing Table, An Qi, Neifu in Qing Dynasty and modern Zhang Boju, which are orderly and valuable.
I think Li Bai ranks among the first-class calligraphers with these 25 words alone. Huang Tingjian commented on Li Bai's poetry in "The Inscription and Postscript of the Valley": "Looking at his manuscript, there are many kinds of poems, which makes people want to be generous." White is between kaiyuan and zhide, and it is impossible for books to be handed down. Today, his deeds and grass are no less than those of the ancients. "That's what the valley said, so I'm not talking nonsense. Li Bai doesn't spread in the book because his poems are too famous!
After the post, there is an inscription in Song Huizong Evonne's Bojinshu as proof: "Taibai tasted the running script, and when he went to the moon on the spur of the moment, he entered a western restaurant, and he felt that people looked at each other and were in the world". Calligraphy and painting are elegant and heroic, but knowing white poetry is not special. "
I think Zhang Yan's postscript in Yuan Dynasty is also wonderful: "The books written by fallen immortals (Li Bai) are rarely handed down from generation to generation. If you look at the clouds, Europe, Henan, Chu and Lu are really books. Since it flows out in the chest, it is not if others are used to it. Looking around, there is a state of lingyun, which is better than the world. Have a taste of Jin and Tang dynasties, and suddenly put this book, which is really refreshing ... "
Look at Taibai, how crazy he is. Europe, Henan, Chu and Lu are all book slaves in his eyes, but he is qualified to be crazy. His words, clear water gives birth to hibiscus, are natural and eternal, and others are really not familiar with them.
Zhou Xinglian, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, also said that Taibai's book was "fresh and beautiful, breathing clean and dust-free, floating like a fairy."
Historically, Li Bai studied under the calligrapher Zhang Xu. This post has Zhang Xu's arbitrariness, but it is heavier and heavier. His brushwork is round and vigorous, bold and unconstrained, with strong contrast in density, weight and size. Just like Li Bai, he is wild and unrestrained, and his personality is exaggerated, but you just think he is so romantic and cute.
In addition to the scenery, the landscape is also full of praise for Sima Cheng's painting art and morality. Standing on the balcony, I saw the strange things of the king of Wu. Without sophisticated techniques, how can we paint such a fresh and magnificent scene?
? Tao has magnificent scenery in front of him, but he can't express his deep depression, confusion, desolation and sadness, and he can't resist the impermanence of time! In the past 20 years, Li Bai has changed from a high-spirited teenager to a middle-aged man who is down and out. Today, I read a few words by Zhang Xiaoxiang, a poet of the Song Dynasty. I think I can speak for Li Bai at this time: "Look at the arrow around your waist, and you will find a sword in your box. What can you do? " Time is fleeting, the heart is strong, and the age will be zero. "Full of great talents, the autumn wind will be rewarded.
Who can understand the great desolation and sadness behind his carnival? If Du Fu's sorrow is "there are thousands of spacious buildings, and the poor in the world are happy!" Worry about home and country, worry about country, worry about saints; Li Shangyin is a sentimental, romantic and lovesick worry that "the banana doesn't show lilac knots, and the spring breeze is in the same direction". Meng Jiao's sorrow is the poverty, bitterness and personal sorrow of "studying ghosts and gods at night"; Li Bai's sorrow is "white hair and three thousands of feet, sorrow is like a beard", "Give them to teenagers to exchange good wine, and with you, they will sell eternal sorrow", immortal sorrow, extravagant sorrow, eternal sorrow!
There is a saying that when you cry because you don't have new shoes, you should know that there are people with no feet in the world! But the most bitter person in the world is not a person without shoes or feet, but a person with millions of armor on his chest who can't be a soldier all his life!
Therefore, the person who is most worried is Li Bai. When he is worried, he is worried about age.
Ouyang Xuan's poem in the post is apt and vivid: Tang Gongzi is a robe fairy, and his literary talent has been romantic for 600 years. There's no bright moon on the roof, Rong Yun.
Now, 1200 years have passed, Taibai is still a son in a robe, and his literary talent is romantic, and he will continue to do so.
Taibai, please let me get drunk with you tonight. )
