Art and smell-the emperor's son-in-law carved a set of posts and became one of the "four famous posts handed down from generation to generation"

Jiangtie, named after being engraved in Jiangzhou, was engraved by Chunhua Shangpan in Jiangzhou, his hometown. Jiang Tie, Chunhua Pavilion Post, Daguan Post and Rutie are called "Four Famous Posts in China", which have been favored by calligraphers and collectors since they came out. The author of this famous post is Pan. There are few records about Pan in history, and his word, number, place of origin and year of birth and death are not clear. In Zhao Mengfu's Scenery Pavilion in Yuan Dynasty, Pan was called "Song Shangshu", and later said "When I first learned Xiuzhou", so it can be judged that he should be a magistrate in Jiaxing, not a small official. Zhao Mengfu spoke highly of Pan, saying that he "learned from the times, was physically strong, could study, retired for entertainment, and kept his children". Even people who admire Zhao Mengfu should not be mediocre. Fang's book Machiavellian contains: "Pan, the word que, □□□ people. A captain from official position to Xu. The opening method is clear and powerful. In small print, you can see the declaration form. " So Pan is a calligrapher, famous for his regular script, and his calligraphy has quite the style of Zhong You's application form. Moreover, he is the son-in-law of the emperor. Pan lived in the Song Dynasty. The emperor likes calligraphy, especially Wang Xizhi's. In the third year of Chunhua (992), he took out his collection of Mo Bao, a famous person in the past dynasties, and asked Hanlin to assist Wang Shu in compiling and presenting it to the minister. This is the famous Spring Flower Pavilion. Because it was carved by the imperial court, it played a very good advocacy role. For a time, the wind of engraving posts intensified, and cluster posts emerged one after another. Ouyang Xiu wrote in the postscript of Records of the Historian: "Recently, Pan, a famous official, stole dozens of official law posts. Don't carve stones to keep people, but there are still some people who can improve." The official law post mentioned here is the Chunhua Pavilion post engraved by the royal family, which shows that Pan has extraordinary courage to do it. Jiang Tie, Daguan Tie and Confucian Tie were all carved with reference to the style and content of Chunhua Pavilion Tie, but among the four major posts, only Jiang Tie was carved privately, which made it more valuable in history. The selected posts of "Jiang Tie" include masterpieces of famous people in previous dynasties before the Song Dynasty, such as Li Si, Zhuge Liang, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi, Wei Fu, Zhang Xu, Zhang Heng, Huai Su, Li Bai and Yan Zhenqing. , has been engraved for more than ten years, there are twenty volumes * *. Before he died, Pan presented these twenty volumes of Jiang Tie to his two sons for inheritance. But because the eldest son was in debt, he gave the first ten volumes to the government. Since then, 20 original posts have been scattered everywhere, and there is no complete rubbings. The engraved version of Jiang Tie in the Song Dynasty is rare in the world, even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Lin Zhijun commented with emotion in "Iron Test": "Although today, all 20 volumes of * * * Jiang Tie are extremely valuable." Some articles in Pan's Crimson Post Source: Sohu
