Give priority to trial and quiet, and teach Xiushui discipline. Dr. imperial academy Guan. Calligraphy and painting, especially seal cutting, can be poetic, and there are doctoral poems.

Explanation:

It is windy and smoky outside the village in the New Year, so you can take a walk and look for wild water in spring. I met an old friend, scattered under the house, and was suddenly surprised by the small window of Meirui. Knowing that my hands are like this, I hope they don't look pitiful. I'm afraid that the fragrance and film will stay forever before spring comes.

The right friend planted plum blossoms in full bloom.

Gu Teng is lying in an empty village, and the years are ready to look for rusty moss traces. The mouths of kings are ups and downs, and they just want to run in the wind. It's shocking to quench thirst by drinking poison. Rain butterflies dance through clouds, but they are used in troubled times to protect the innocence of old Yuan Qiu.

Summary: The old work was taught by Mr. Yoshiyama Wen Peng.

Sanqiaohe is a family friend, and their parents and Huang were both literati leaders at that time. In his early years, Huang ordered his son to study, taking pumping water as the inkstone, and forged a deep friendship with Wen Peng. The fan of cursive seven-character poems is a vivid testimony of Wen Peng's contact with Huang Jishui.

In the past, Wen Peng was known to the world as the founder of seal cutting, but his achievements in painting, calligraphy and poetry were often ignored. The fan cursive script of the text is more rare than the seal. In calligraphy, Peng inherited his father's learning, combined Zhong and Sun, and had his own style.

This seven-character cursive fan is for an old friend. Writing is natural, energetic and unrestrained, occasionally involving writing, but the spirit is smooth and reflects itself. Throughout, the rapid brushwork, the surplus and contraction of stippling, and the calm and bright endings show the changes of internal rhythm and rhythm, which makes people feel the ups and downs of calligraphers' emotions.

It is worth mentioning that Wen Peng has a profound family knowledge. Besides being good at calligraphy and painting, he has also made great achievements in poetry and prose. Chen Tian commented on Wen Peng's poems in Volume 17 of Chronology of Ming Poetry: "The doctor has seven words and distinct syllables." Of the two poems in the work, "Fragrant fragrance and thin shadow" coincides with Lin Biao's famous works in Song Dynasty, expressing the poet's noble life purport and spiritual pursuit, while "Innocence and self-protection of Laoshan Garden" is the poet's desire to be an official after decades of hardships in his official career.

According to records, when Wen Peng was near Huajia, he only devoted himself to the Ministry of Ritual for "the first trial in Ming Dynasty". The imperial court originally intended to be an official in Beijing, but he had already served his father, resigned, accepted the idleness of "Jiaxing Discipline" and sent his love to Jiangnan.
