Mu Chen Wu Lao Song

Mu Chen in Longnan, called "Wooden City" in ancient times, was named after the lush and secluded city of Zhou Shanlin, and later became "Mu Chen". Mu Chen started to build a town in the eighth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (634), with a long history.

1937 12.26, Mr. Yu Shaosong and his family took refuge in Mu Chen. Since then, Yu Shaosong has forged an indissoluble bond with many places of interest, and Wu Mansion, which is adjacent to Zhu Zhai, has often become a place for scholars to meet. Liu Zhongyi presented a poem:

Avoid the land and live well, envy the public and faint the hall.

Fighting has not changed the family, and books still have a long way to go.

Boast fish and vegetables in the morning and welcome guests to your home? ? It is cool in the afternoon.

Have a good time, and replant ten acres of mulberry in the west of the court.

On April 1939 and April 15, Yu Shaosong wrote an inscription for "Mu Chen Spring", which was written in three Chinese characters as official script. He wrote: "This spring is so clear that I can always drink it when I live in Muchen. It is really worthy of my secularity and is named after its name. Ji Yuchun Yu Shaosong. " Postscript is a running script.

There is a samurai temple at the entrance of Mu Chen village, and there is a samurai base around the temple. It is said that the gods drove the black sheep here to transform it. Wushi Temple was built on a steep cliff. Looking at the temple from the mountain gate, rise high. Kannonji has the highest terrain, and there is a spring under the seat of Pu Xian in the temple. The spring water is clear and sweet, and it is called "fairy water" by believers. There is a deep pool in front of Wushi Temple, for which Yu Shaosong wrote an inscription "Release the Pool". There are Millennium Gu Song and ancient maple trees beside the deep pool. According to legend, Gu Song was planted before the Song Dynasty, and the three of them could hug each other.

194 1 In the spring of, Yu Shaosong wrote "Three Friends of Mu Chen in Cold Years", among which "Urumqi Old Song" was a Sanqu. Yu Shaosong wrote: "Mu Chen Wu Shiyan is old and loose, and the situation is very strange. Because of painting a picture, it is combined with a poem: with rock, there is wildness, and Wu Shitao's voice is twice as exciting. Relatively cold and infinite, because you write my heart. Yu Shaosong wrote it in Muchen Mountain under the luminous light of Xin Siyuan. " The two seals on the lower right are Yu Shaosong (white) and Zhu, and the one on the lower left is Han Ke (Zhu).

Muchen has a lot of bamboo, and Yu Shaosong is good at writing bamboo. Yu Shaosong wrote in the second picture of Mu Chen's Three Friends' Cold Year Picture, Zhai Hou Zhu Cong: "Mu Chen stayed in the house next to Zhu Zhai, which was full of thin strips, which was extremely rich and interesting. To paint with its meaning, use a poem to say: Yu Zhai is lucky to be next to this gentleman, and every time he writes a branch, there is a god. " Thank you for knowing me with an open mind. Qiao Yuan people get along more closely. Xin Si's Spring Festival was written by Zhai Zhong and Yu Shaosong. "These two seals are the same as before.

There is also an old plum tree by the stream. Yu Shaosong wrote: "Plums in Meixi, Mu Chen have been cut. Today, there is only a old terrier in Xixi, Mu Chen, with an ancient posture. Because of the portrayal, there is a poem: Meixi is silent and there is no plum, leaving this Ke Qiao by the water. I know I feel it. The ghost dives into the pen. On the day of Xin Siren, Han Keju was in Shaosong and asked questions. " These two seals are the same as before.

Muchenxi is also called Meixi. Unfortunately, there was only one old terrier left beside Meixi at that time.

According to Yu Shaosong's diary 194 1 year 65438+1October 29 (the third day of the first month): "Draw a pine and bamboo at night, and the banner is six feet wide. Write plum with Ting Sheng and Tai Lai. "

65438+1October 30th, the fourth day of the first month: "Draw a six-foot embroidered pine bamboo for Chen Rui, draw a six-foot wide plum bamboo banner, write two orchids and give one to Jing San."

Two days later, on the sixth day of the first month, I wrote: "I wrote three poems by pine, bamboo and plum soaked in dust, and put the topic on the three poems I wrote the day before yesterday."

It can be seen that "Three Friends of Mu Chen in Cold Year" was written on 194 1 year 1 month, with three axes of ink paper, each with a height of 173.9 cm and a width of 63.4 cm, and is now in the Museum of Tibet.

In fact, a few months before 1940 and 10, Yu Shaosong painted three giant paintings of pine, bamboo and plum with ink and paper, each with a height of 354 cm and a width of 95 cm. Among them, "Song" only painted a solitary tree, tall and vigorous, such as a dragon. These three paintings are excellent in composition and meticulous in brushwork, each with a long title, which is very rare.

Recently, my friend took another picture of Urumqi Old Song, which is 150 cm long, 55 cm wide, five feet of paper and nearly nine square meters. It was installed in the late 1990s.

The right title of Wu Lao Song is the same as that of Three Friends of Mu Chen in Cold Years, but it is printed differently. The title is printed on the bottom right: Yu Shaosong (white) and Zhu; Two seals at the bottom left: Song Xuan (Zhu) and Renshou (Zhu).

The compositions of the two paintings are both Millennium Gu Song, and the pens are sophisticated. It should be said that they are all works by Yu Shaosong, and the composition of Three Friends of Mu Chen's Cold Years Old is slightly longer and more powerful. Although the inscription of "Wu's Old Song" is also under the lantern of Xinsiyuan, it should be judged that after Yu Shaosong painted this pine tree, he had a new idea of painting three old and cold friends in the next few days, so he drew three more pictures of pine, bamboo and plum. Mei Ming said it was a human day, that is, the seventh day of the first month. And Song's signature is still in accordance with the original question. But the size of these three pictures is bigger than the one drawn a few days ago. This is because he made adjustments and the paper was longer than the original one to help the momentum.

These details can also be found in Han Ketang's poems. For example, the poem "Wu's Old Song" in the third volume of Hanshutang Poetry Talk is not completely consistent with the pine map of "Three Friends of Han Dynasty in Mu Chen's Year". The first sentence is: "Rock is independent and gloomy, and the sound of Bushido is doubly wonderful." Change "special" to "independence" and "headstrong" to "depression". It can be seen that Yu Shaosong thought twice about writing poetry and painting.

Teacher Yu Jiuyi thinks this piece of Urumqi Old Song is absolutely a masterpiece in terms of composition, brushwork, calligraphy and seal. The seal on the lower left is a Han Dynasty imperial seal, with a size of 2.5cm * 2.5cm, which was originally collected by Yu Shaosong. On his deathbed, Yu Shaosong was always taken care of by his adopted daughter Yu Haiyan. The seal that Yu Shaosong gave her is now hidden by Fang Guoxin, the eldest son of Yu Haiyan. It is the first time that Yu Shaosong saw the seal of "Different people have different opinions, and the wise have different opinions" in his works.

In the 1960s, the Buddha statues in Wushi Temple were completely destroyed, and Laosong in Wushi died in 1972. The old plum beside the stream was nowhere to be found, only the ancient maple was left. Today, I will enjoy Urumqi Old Songs again, without sadness or joy, just memories.
