"Attached to a Poetry Hall" —— A Letter to the Author
Li Henian is a famous contemporary calligrapher and connoisseur of collections. After his death, 20 pieces of Oracle bones collected in his early years were sold for 38 million yuan in a large auction in 2004. These collections are just his "embers after the robbery". Li Henian is also an old "local worker" who made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause during the war years. Based on his office, he contacted the cadres in the liberated areas and once sheltered many revolutionary comrades. However, under the ultra-left line, he was treated unfairly. For a long time, he was forced to sell briquettes in a coal shop in the suburbs. Shortly after the Gang of Four was crushed, he returned to the city from the suburbs, without formal housing, and lived with his wife in a 5.7-square-meter stairwell. At that time, I often went to see him, and through various relationships, I traveled in many ways to urge the relevant units to implement policies for him and solve his housing problem.
Li Henian wrote a letter to Zhang Yongxiu.
A few years later, due to the change of the situation, Mr. Li became more and more famous, and more and more people asked him to write. Unable to cope, Mr. Wang hung a note in the study with the word "sealed pen" written on it. However, Miss Wang said to me, "You are a great teacher and I am willing to write to you." Therefore, the author has been keeping in touch with Mr. Li, sometimes talking face to face and sometimes writing letters. This is a short message written to me by Teacher Li1October 20th, 1982 65438.
"Ding Xuan" is my name, and "Comrade Ding Xuan" mentioned in the letter is my respectful name. At that time, most people didn't have telephones at home, so communication between them was not as convenient as it is now. It is common for people to visit their homes without a host. The "wasteful driving" mentioned in this letter means that I went to my husband's house that day, and my husband just left, so I couldn't meet him. However, Mr. Wang sent me the "poetry hall" I asked for in time with this letter, which is exactly what Mr. Wang had promised to "put family first" before.
"Poetry Hall", also known as "Poetry Hall", is a piece of paper embedded in the top or bottom of a painting, which is specially used for inscription and poetry writing. The Poem Hall sent by Mr. Li is accompanied by the inscription "The First Carved Picture of the Qing Palace" and "Ding Xuanjian's surname", which is consistent with my picture of Bo Gu.
Speaking of this picture of Bo Gu, it is also of extraordinary origin. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Li Shutong's teacher, Tang Jingyan, collected a A Jin clay pot with a sentence engraved on it: "The autumn moon in Bingshen was treasured by a monk in the mountains and he was never tired of my family." Later, this pottery was acquired by Mr. Gong Wang, and Mr. Gong personally developed it into a rubbings and presented it to me. I asked Mr. Jiang, an old painter, to add chrysanthemums and Ganoderma lucidum to the rubbings, which made a beautiful painting of Bo Gu. Before getting on the horse, I have another idea. Wouldn't it be better to ask Mr. Wang to write poems, Tang wares, Gong Zhituo, Jiang Hua, Li Zhi, utensils, extension, painting and inscription for this painting? With teacher Li's poetry hall, I finally got my wish.
"Will this delay important events" —— Postcard for the author
These are postcards that Mr Li Henian wrote to me in the early 1980s. As an accomplished calligrapher, Mr. He Nian showed his elegant, simple, elegant and chic calligraphy style, both in his formal calligraphy works and in his daily writing memos. These postcards are actually a group of exquisite hard-pen calligraphy masterpieces. Let's put aside his calligraphy art for the time being, and only talk about the relevant contents in postcards.
Six postcards, some about the completion of the book, some about his recent activities, and some about other daily chores. Among them, postcards written in 1985, 165438+ 10, 12 tell the story of his work in a painting and calligraphy exhibition. The relevant parties decided to hold the "Moonlight how bright at Home!" Calligraphy and painting exhibition during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The city's painters and painters, young art lovers, compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, family members of those who went to Taiwan and returned overseas Chinese responded positively, pinning their thoughts on their compatriots, relatives and friends and old friends in Taiwan Province Province in different art forms, such as painting, calligraphy, seal cutting, paper cutting and brick carving, and expressing their long-cherished wish to realize the reunification of the motherland at an early date. However, during the preparation of the painting and calligraphy exhibition, an invitation letter from Mr. Li was sent to Nankai University. Because Mr. Li is a visiting professor at NTU and doesn't often go to school, he didn't receive the letter in time. Fortunately, the author asked the organizer for a letter and sent it directly to Mr. Li, with a homesick poem written by Mr. Liao Canhui, a Taiwanese compatriot who was then vice chairman of Tianjin. Mr. Li personally wrote it and brought it directly to the exhibition preparation office, so that this meaningful work appeared in the exhibition as scheduled. What teacher Li mentioned on the postcard was "'When will the moon shine at home!'" Solicitation letter! "Exhibition. If it is recently transferred, it will not delay the event! "This is the process. He lamented that if we wait until Nantah's solicitation letter, I'm afraid the exhibition "has come to a successful conclusion". "Although this is a small matter, we can also see that Mr. Li Henian is serious and responsible for social undertakings.
