His name is Mi Fei (Fu), and he is a great painter and calligrapher. The "rice" in Song Sijia's Su Huang Camouflage is him.
"Stand out from the crowd" and "brush characters" are his inventions, and all calligraphers should know them.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is strange. This is unprecedented. Scorpions shit alone.
How strange is it?
Listen to me slowly.

Strange words, outspoken.
Miffy often blurts out some jaw-dropping words, no matter the occasion or the object.
According to Qian's private records, once I saw Mi Yuanzhang writing, I sat quietly watching.
Mi Fei didn't know that the emperor was around, so he "tied his robe sleeves, jumped easily, put pen to paper like a cloud, and dragons and snakes danced", which was very natural and unrestrained. As soon as I turned around, I saw the emperor. Instead of kneeling and kowtowing like others, he excitedly shouted to Hui Zong, "Great, Your Majesty!" "
Hui Zong was not angry, but happy. A happy, gave Mi Fei an official position: Doctor of Calligraphy.
Another day, Mi Fei finished his performance in Chongzheng Hall, and the emperor asked him to put Zazi (an ancient official document) on the chair. Mi Fei turned around and shouted to the administrator: "The emperor asked you to bring a spittoon." A voice scared Wu Wen to look at each other. Emperor Hui Zong waved, it's okay.
This guy dares to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, let alone in front of colleagues and subordinates.
There is a passage in Backstreet Record that Su Shi once hosted a dinner for a friend in Yangzhou, and Mi Fei was there. Half drunk, Mi Fei suddenly stood up and asked Su Shi, "People say I'm crazy, don't you think?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "I follow the crowd."
It's funny to catch up with this guy. Made a table full of people.

Strange clothes, performance art
The so-called "performance art" is a free life activity.
This is the definition of industry, and I don't quite understand it.
798 in Beijing often has some artists coming out to do it.
This art form appeared in the West in 1950s and 1960s.
Therefore, people all think that performance art originated in the west.
I don't quite agree. I grew up in China, with a civilization of 5000+ years. I must have a pioneer in the pursuit of performance art.
Far from saying, Mi's adult in the Great Song Dynasty was an outstanding representative.
After Blowing Dust, Cai Tianqi was quoted as the epitaph of Mi Yuanzhang: "When the Tang Dynasty rules are crowned, people will gather and watch them. Look at his brow, like entering the eaves. The voice is loud and clear. Although you don't know it, you know it as Mi Yuanzhang. "
As a Song Dynasty person, Mi Fei just loves to wear Tang clothes. Parade in the city, come and go freely.
This is not the worst.
According to He Yulin, at that time, Mi Yuanzhang lived in the capital and was "dressed in strange clothes and wearing a top hat". Sitting in a sedan chair, because there is a top cover, the top of the sedan chair is removed, "the hat is exposed."
What do you mean by that?
Let me describe it: when Mifei lived in Beijing, she wore strange clothes and a tall hat with eaves. I can't get into the sedan chair because my hat is too high. So, this guy thought of a way to remove the roof. In this way, when you sit in the car, you can take your hat out of the roof.
Imagine a sedan chair coming from a distance, with a big hat hanging from the top. Is that weird?
Once, Mi Fei went out in a sedan chair and met his old friend with a knife. Chao Yidao couldn't help laughing.
Mi Fei got off the sedan chair and asked the courtier with a smile. Hey, buddy, what do I look like?
"It's like that ghost chapter."
Say that finish, two people almost laughed back to gas.
Ghost chapter is a thief who occupies the top of the mountain. Later, he was caught by the imperial court and taken to the capital with a sill car.
The ancient sill car was like this: it was surrounded by wooden fences on all sides, covered with a cover with a hole in the middle. The prisoner's body was in the fence, and his head was exposed through the hole in the lid.
Chao Yidao said that Mifei was sitting in a sedan chair just like that ghost chapter was sitting in a sill car. Because of Mi Fei's lettering, Chao called him "ghost printing".

Strange ways, crazy and unruly
Mifei has a nickname "Mi Dian" and is famous for his crazy personality.
According to Chun Zhu, one day, when Mi Yuanzhang was a doctor of calligraphy, Hui Zong asked Mi Fei to write a word in the palace.
After Mi Fei finished writing, he knelt down with the inkstone on the imperial case and said to Hui Zong, "This inkstone has been polluted by the minister. If it doesn't suit you anymore, please give it to me. " Look serious.
He took a fancy to the emperor's inkstone and wanted it.
Emperor Hui Zong was amused by him: "Oh, hahaha, then you can take it."
The words sound just fell and Miffy ran away with the inkstone. Because it has just been used, there is ink in the inkstone, and the robe sleeves are dyed black everywhere.
He didn't care so much, so he took it home happily.
According to "Qingbo Magazine", Mi Yuanzhang "returns to the book in one day, and the old is close to the window. Write to "Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. When he wrote back to others, he said, "Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
On another occasion, when he was an official in Anhui, he heard that there was a strange stone by the ruxu River. At that time, people were superstitious, thinking that the immortal stone was afraid of causing trouble and dared not touch it. Mi Fei immediately sent someone to move it into his apartment. Then, he set up the altar, offered a good offering, bowed down to the strange stone, and murmured, I think Brother Shi has been here for twenty years. It is too late to see him today. Miffy also specially painted a picture of "Stone Worship" to commemorate it.
Later, when it got out, he was impeached.
Li Dongyang wrote a poem about this behavior in Huailu Hall Collection: "It is not surprising that Zhou Nan has strange stones, and scholars are fascinated by them. My knee never touched the ground, and the stone industry deserved it. "
It's incredible that strange people do strange things.

Cleanliness obsessive-compulsive disorder
There are many people who are obsessed with cleanliness, but few people are as serious as Mimi.
Let me see: When Mi Fei washed his hands, he didn't put his hand into the washbasin directly, but let people pour water into his hands in a silver bucket (an ancient utensil for holding things). After washing, don't wipe with a towel, clap your hands with each other and air dry.
The clothes he wears, as long as there is dust, must be washed before he will wear them.
A post in Mi Feili said: "I hate it when my boots are held by others in the morning. Because of repeated washing, I can't wear it. " Someone accidentally touched his boots, and he was washed and couldn't wear them any more.
If a guest comes to his house to sit for a while, the chair made by the guest must be washed quickly after the guest leaves. As a result, few people come to his house as guests, and no one wants to receive such "courtesy". He can't stand the world, so he has no friends.
"Chicken Threat" records that when he was a doctor in Taichang, he was demoted for "serving the ancestral temple, but going to sacrifice the algae fire".
Sacrifice should wear sacrificial clothes, but this dress is open, how can Mifei stand this? He went back and washed all the patterns off the sacrificial clothes. The emperor was angry: get out. Mi Fei's official is gone.
Cleanliness addiction even affects her husband's choice. He chooses a son-in-law, whether he is "Gao Fushuai" or not. The most important criterion is whether he likes cleanliness or not.
Once, there was a young man named Duan, Chen Lai, on a blind date. When Mi Fei heard the name, he was overjoyed and said, "If I brush it now, my righteousness will be gone. It is really my husband. " With this name, this person loves cleanliness, and my son-in-law is him!
Because of cleanliness, even his precious inkstone can be abandoned.
According to Qingbo magazine, one day, Mifei said that he had got a good inkstone and all his friends came to his house to watch it. A friend said he wanted to try. Mifei agreed.
Because there was no water on the console table at that time, my friend "spat out ink to grind the inkstone" and spat out ink to grind the inkstone. Mi Fei turned blue when he saw it, and said, "The inkstone is dirty and can't be used. This is a gift to the public. " The inkstone is dirty. I don't want it. You can take it.

Come from all fragrant countries and go from all fragrant countries.
The death of the weirdo is also unusual.
According to He Yu Lin, Mi Fei studied Zen in his later years and gained a lot of experience.
One month before his death, he stayed at home to deal with housework, explain the aftermath and write farewell letters to relatives and friends. His own calligraphy and painting and the rare treasures of celebrity calligraphy and painting collected at ordinary times were turned out, piled together and burned.
Then, take out the coffin prepared early and put it in the house, where food and shelter are all in it.
Seven days before he died, he didn't eat meat, took a bath and changed clothes, and sat in a coffin burning incense until he died.
Just before he died, he drove away all the people around him, raised the dust and said to himself, "All the fragrant countries come and all the fragrant countries go."
Say that finish, throw away the Buddha dust and cross your hands and die.
Miffy is such a freak.
From the point of view of ordinary people, he is crazy. But I think of a sentence in Tang Bohu's peach blossom poem: "People laugh at me because I am crazy, and I laugh at others because I can't see through it."
He is curious, opinionated and unique, not for grandstanding and shocking the world, but for breaking away from the secular barriers, showing off his true colors and enjoying the freedom that should belong to everyone.
