People's Daily Online, May 7 th On April 29 th, the reporter learned from Yilanzhai Art Museum in Nanjing that an ancient painting depicting the magnificent scenery of Mochou Lake 200 years ago will debut in Nanjing during May Day.
This ancient painting named "Scenery of Mochou Lake" was painted by Chou Ying, a famous painter in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. At that time, celebrity calligraphy wrote a collection of poems, with a preface and a postscript, which was brilliant. At the beginning of the scroll, there are four characters "Mo Xi Li Jia" written by Sun Xingyan, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty. After the scroll, there is a long inscription, which is known as "exploring flowers with light ink" in the history of calligraphy. At that time, there was a poem by Li Yaodong, the satrap of Nanjing, and a long poem by Yuan Mei, the teacher of Li Yaodong and the author of Poems with the Garden. As can be seen from this painting, Mochou Lake in Qing Dynasty is a place filled with smoke and clouds admired by literati.
Among the 80 paintings and calligraphy works exhibited at the same time with the scenery of Mochou Lake, there are two national treasures of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes written by the Tang Dynasty, which are 8 meters and 5 meters long respectively, especially the 5-meter handwritten copy on both sides, which is very rare in writing scriptures. What is especially rare is that some calligraphers' letters in Ming and Qing Dynasties, including Jin Nong, Zhao and How, are of literary and historical value. The problem of Jin Nong and Zhao ghostwriting for many years has also been confirmed in the letter. (Xinhua News Agency)
