Criticism of art
Friend memory
Qian Zhangwu, a native of Jinhua, claimed to be a native of Jinxingshan and lived in Shaoxing for a long time. The masterpiece Lu Xun and Runtu was exhibited in Beijing and was well received by Li Keran. Li said: My cow is better than me. "Lu Xun and Runtu" refers to ink painting, written on the backs of young Lu Xun and Runtu sitting bull. The knower said, "How is the soil in the painting like Mr. Qian himself?" Money replied, it's me. I have been herding cattle on Mount Venus since I was a child.
Yue people (Shaoxing people here) love money painting and are proud of having money painting at home. People who come to paint are in great demand. Qian said that his paintings come from life, although they are freehand and true. Money loves old wine. If you have wine, you must drink it. You get drunk after drinking it. If you are drunk, painting is wonderful. Those who know money will be rewarded with painting flowers and wine.
In his later years, Qian Zhangwu was tired of city life and avoided Shaoxing countryside. He built a house on the hillside and painted cows day and night. He was very impressed. People who heard his name from all directions came to ask for it with heavy gold. Local farmers boast that they are "professional cattle herders". -Tang Yinfang
Impression of villagers
Qian Zhangwu lived in Shaoxing in his later years. When he came back from the Spring Festival, everyone in the village went to him to write couplets. He always gives everything he wants and takes nothing. There are also many plaques and doorways inscribed by Qian Zhangwu in the village. Qian Zhangwu's finger ink painting (that is, the palm of his left hand dipped in ink and the thumb of his right hand dipped in ink to paint on paper) is very good, and everyone who has seen it is amazed. Villager Qian Youming saw Mr. Qian Zhangwu perform stunts when he was a child. "He swished a landscape painting on the paper with his little finger."
