According to legend, Mi Fei was able to read hundreds of poems at the age of 6, and/kloc-0 was able to write tablets independently at the age of 0. During this period, he moved to Xiangyang with his father for more than ten years, and when he was 0/7 years old, he went to the capital of song dynasty with his mother, that is, Kaifeng, Henan.
When Mi Fei 18 years old, Zhu Yijun, the son of Queen Gao, succeeded to the throne. This is Ming Shenzong. Mindful of the old love between mother and Mi Fei's mother Yan, Mi Fei, a native, is the secretary of the provincial school, responsible for proofreading documents and correcting mistakes. Later, Evonne and Song Huizong called him a doctor of calligraphy and painting, and the official was Yuan Wailang.
Miffy is a very talented and knowledgeable person. Because he is "talented and scattered, he leads an honest and clean life." . Under the service of the Tang people, he accumulated many strange stones, the number of which is Mi Dian. At the same time, he won a lot of time and energy to study the art of painting and calligraphy because he was not good at catering to officialdom, and he was simply infatuated with the pursuit of painting and calligraphy.
Mifei's calligraphy and painting finally became a family of its own. His paintings are good at dead wood and bamboo stones, especially at landscape painting, which is creative. He is also good at calligraphy, poetry and painting appreciation, which are everyone's strengths.
He studied and copied the calligraphy styles of Yan Zhenqing, Chu Suiliang, Duan and other famous calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty. , almost can reach the level of confusion.
Mi Fei is famous for his calligraphy, and many of his calligraphy works have been preserved. Mi Fei's calligraphy ink handed down from generation to generation includes Empress Dowager Cixi's Elegy, Shu Su Tie, Tiaoxi Iron Stone, Bai Zhong Yue Ming Tie, Hong Xian Shi Juan, Nine Cao Shu Tie, and Iron Stone on the Building with Many Classics, etc. Later, most of the famous posts in the Southern Song Dynasty were engraved with calligraphy, which spread widely and had far-reaching influence.
Mi Fei, Su Shi, a contemporary writer and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian, a poet and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Cai Xiang, a calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, are also known as the "four calligraphers of the Song Dynasty", and Mi Fei is second to none. Mi Fei's calligraphy style is bold and unrestrained, and his statutes are strict. Su Dongpo, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, is full of praise for this:
Truth, grass, official script and seal script are as calm and happy as horses.
Miffy writes books seriously. Mi Fei said:
I have written Hai Dai Shi Hua three or four times, with a sentence or two in between. It's hard to believe this book.
He wrote three or four poems, but only one or two satisfied him. The bitterness is beyond an expert's comprehension, which also shows his rigorous creative attitude. Mi Fei's calligraphy is admired by later generations. His calligraphy is called "writing brush", which means that his writing method is different from that of his predecessors.
"History of the Song Dynasty" records:
M yuan Zhang met Hui Zong for the first time, and the birthday letter of "Zhou Guan" was written on the royal screen. After writing, he threw a pen on the ground and said, "Wash away the bad letters of the two kings, shine on the emperor, shine on the Song Dynasty and shine on the ages."
Huizong stood behind the screen and sniffed, but he went out to have a look.
Mi Fei has his unique experience in the distribution, structure and use of calligraphy. It is required to be "stable but not strange, not old and not fat", to achieve unity in change, and to integrate the opposing factors such as "wrapped and hidden", "fat and thin", "sparse and dense" and "simple and complicated", that is, "bones and muscles, flesh and blood, fat and luster, and charm are all available, just like a good scholar".
On the other hand, he also created the method of "Mi's Yunshan" in landscape painting, made good use of "fuzzy" pen and ink to create the misty scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and reproduced layers of mountains with scattered thick ink, horizontal dots and dots, which was called "Mi Dian" by the world. It is admired by many painters in later generations and imitated by others.
His son, Mi Youren, left many works in the world, which enabled this painting style to continue and made "literati painting" climb to a new level, which was praised by the history of painting.
Mi Fei, a painter, appraiser and collector, has a rich collection and a wide range of knowledge. In addition, he has a broad vision and excellent comments, and his works have become necessary books for future generations to study the history of painting. He has written many theoretical works on calligraphy and painting, such as Interview with Zhang Bao, History of Books, History of Painting, History of Inks, and Inscription and Postscript of Haiyue.
Zhang Bao interviewed is divided into two parts: "witnessing" and "listening". Eighty-four articles recorded in the Jin and Tang Dynasties are the first recorded in later generations, which have great influence, and there are even works specially imitating the style of this book.
The detailed history of books is one of the bases for later experts. "Hai Yue Inscription and Postscript" mainly describes his experience, which is very pertinent.
In his later years, Mi Fei lived in Dantu, Runzhou, that is, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, and built a mountain forest hall, so there was a collection of poems and poems with a volume of 100, which was called Mountain Forest Collection. The representative work is "Jin Bao Ying Guang Ji".
1 107, Mi Fei died and was buried in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Mijia Temple was founded in memory of Mi Fei, a famous painter and connoisseur of calligraphy and painting in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Mijia 'an is located on the bank of the Han River in Fancheng, Xiangfan, standing by the river, facing Xiangcheng Women's Town across the river. According to the inscription of Mijia lineage, Mijia 'an was built from Yuan Dynasty to before.
Mi Fei's descendants expanded Migong Temple in the Ming Dynasty and renamed it Migong Temple, but it was later destroyed by the war in the late Ming Dynasty. Since 1693, the 18th generation Sun Mizan, 19th generation Sun Mijue and 20th generation Sun of Mi Fei have successively renovated Migong Temple and carved more than 30 tablets.
Later, Mi Fei's descendants renovated Migong Temple twice in 1865 and 1875. 1875, the Migong Temple was renovated for the last time by the descendants of Mi Fei, and Shan Maoqian, a great scholar of Wenyuange in Qing Dynasty, wrote the inscription "Migong Temple" for the archway.
Migong Temple Temple is mainly composed of three buildings: Baidian, Baojinzhai and Yanggaotang. Except for Yang Gaotang's double-eaves mountain-resting style, the rest are hard-mountain style, with a total area of over 10,000 square meters.
On the central axis of Migong Temple is a courtyard with three entrances. The main buildings are street pavilions, White Hall, Baojinzhai, Yanggao Hall, stele gallery and so on. There are a lot of ink stone carvings in the halls of Mi Fei and Song Dynasty. On both sides of the central axis are east and west stone gardens, pavilions and pavilions, strewn at random and full of fish.
The courtyard of the ancestral temple is very quiet, giving people a feeling of quiet and deep.
Migong Temple's iconic worship hall is the place where descendants of Migong worship their ancestors. There are four pillars with walls and three five-story archways in the middle of the worship hall, and a bucket arch is placed under the eaves of each floor to support and decorate the art; There are eight immortals patterns on both sides of the archway, which are exquisite and unique, solemn and simple.
The self-portrait of Mi Fei in the center of the main hall is a rubbings. The original stone carving is hidden in Zhu Huan Cave in Fu Bo, Guilin. Miffy's portrait has couplets on both sides:
Dress in Tang dynasty;
The characters are romantic.
This means that although Mi Fei was a native of the Northern Song Dynasty, he liked to imitate the costumes of the Tang Dynasty and collect paintings and calligraphy works of the Jin Dynasty.
Miffy is crazy, totally honest, good at painting and calligraphy, and proficient in identification. Running script and cursive script are based on predecessors, and Wang Xianzhi, a calligrapher in Wei and Jin Dynasties, is the most appreciated.
Baojinzhai was built in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty. It used to be Miffy's study. Because Mi Fei's study is full of paintings and calligraphy of the Jin Dynasty, it is called Baojinzhai, and Mi Fei's calligraphy works are also collected in the study.
The building behind Baojinzhai is Yanggao Hall, which is actually a place for future generations to pay tribute to the remains of their ancestors.
There are many inscriptions in Baidian and Baojinzhai, such as "unreachable", "wonderful", "The book of Xiangyang was handed down from generation to generation in the name of Meng Lumen, and Cai called it" four giants and three giants ",all of which are highly praised by later generations for Mi Fei's calligraphy and character.
There are 16 stele corridors in the courtyards on both sides of Migong Temple, and the cinnabar columns are decorated with carved flowers, which are beautiful and generous. On the wall of the gallery, there are more than 0/00 stone carvings/kloc left by famous calligraphers such as Mi Fei and his son, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang, and more than 30 stone carvings left by later famous calligraphers for Migong Temple. The wall is covered with pearls and pearls, which complement each other.
In addition, there are 45 handwritten stickers carved by Mi Fei by his descendants during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and other inscriptions are 145. These exquisite calligraphy works, with vivid artistic charm and complete perfection, are a huge art treasure house, which has played a great role in promoting the ancient and excellent traditional culture of China.
There was a ginkgo tree in the Ming Dynasty, about 500 years old, also called ginkgo tree. Under the tree stands a large stone tablet with a shadow wall, which consists of five stone tablets: Rebuilding Migong Temple Monument, Preface to Migong Forest, Preface to Migong Genealogy and Preface to Migong Genealogy. Among them, the Preface of Mi's Family Tree records the changes of Mi's family from Song Dynasty to Ming and Qing Dynasties.
