Wang Meng moved from the yard where Xia Yan once lived to the ninth floor. Mr. Huang Miaozi, an 87-year-old painter, happily wrote a joint gift:
Bai Ou Haike, without me,
There is no one else on the Yellow River.
Neat and free and easy, they are a good couple. But after repeated tastes, I feel that "Yellow River Mountain Bridge" looks familiar. I was busy looking through the history of Chinese painting, and suddenly realized that it was the name of Wang Meng, a famous painter in the Yuan Dynasty. "Others" naturally refers to Wang Meng in the Yuan Dynasty.
In Yuan Dynasty, Wang Meng was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang (now Xing Wu, Zhejiang). At the end of the yuan dynasty, he was a small official such as "Wen Li" and "Chang Shi" During the war, he abandoned his official position and hid in the Yellow River Mountain in Linping, Yuhang, because he thought it was a number. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, he became the magistrate of Tai 'an. The Records of Tai 'an County recorded: "Honest and upright, learning officials for the people's safety. Gong Yu and the scholar-officials drank wine and wrote poems, which were dyed in the pool, which was also a big event. " Looks like a good official voice. Unfortunately, in order to consolidate his dominant position, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, severely punished hell to pay. At that time, the left prime minister Hu colluded with the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in an attempt to rebel and was severely suppressed, involving more than 30,000 people. Wang Meng went to Hu's house to see Tibetan paintings and was also involved in prison. Hongwu died in prison in the eighteenth year (1385) at the age of 84. Wang Meng is the grandson of Zhao Mengfu. Zhao is the grandson of the first 1 1 emperor in Song Dynasty. After Qin Dynasty, he created the landscape painting style in Yuan Dynasty. Wang Meng's paintings have both family origins and extensive reference to predecessors. Dong Qichang said: "Wang Shuming's paintings come from Zhao's charm, ... and spread to famous people in Tang and Song Dynasties, while Dong Yuan and Wang Wei are ancestors, so they are colorful and often show the specifications of civility." Among the landscape painters of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Meng was the only one who won with strong painting style. His strong painting style is mainly manifested in composition, which is often complicated and overlapping, with mountains and twists and turns. He creatively used pen and ink techniques to maximize the effect of pen and ink. "Old, gradually feel pedantic writing. Writing a painting is like writing a seal script. " He emphasized the application of calligraphy in painting, and paid attention to the characteristics of the pen used in the seal script center. When the world once had a poem praising: "Uncle Ming Can wrote a tripod with a pen, and there was no such monarch for 500 years." Not too much. Therefore, he, together with Wu, Huang and Ni Zan, is also known as the Four Masters of Yuan Dynasty, representing the highest achievement of landscape painting in Yuan Dynasty and realizing the creative transformation of China's landscape painting. After the Ming Dynasty, although there were many schools, they lacked creativity and gradually became a gentle and continuous trend.
Today's Wang Meng is from Nanpi, Hebei. Nanpi, the hometown of Zhang Zhidong. Of course, he was born in Beijing and returned to Nanpi after his birth. When the July 7th Incident broke out at the age of three, the whole family fled to Beijing by carriage. Many years later, they recalled their childhood, and what they remembered was "a miserable childhood". /kloc joined the China * * * production party at the age of 0/4, and became a cadre at the age of 0/5 after the liberation of Peiping. Now he is an adjunct professor in more than one university, and his real education is only Grade One. Later, I wrote novels, essays, poems, comments, studied A Dream of Red Mansions, and finally became a scholar writer, all by self-study. At first, I wanted to learn architecture and went to the front line of hot construction. Without approval, I decided to write a novel. 1953 wrote the novel Long Live Youth. 1956 published the short story "The New Young Man in the Organization Department", with fresh and simple style, vivid and sharp language, strong satire and sense of humor. The writer keenly and promptly discovered and bravely raised the problem of anti-bureaucracy, which reflected the tendency of the party's leading organs to be sloppy, perfunctory, conservative and divorced from the masses after the victory of the revolution. This novel aroused strong social repercussions, and he certainly paid a heavy price for it. Some newspapers began to discuss and argue, which Yao called "standing on the opposite side of the party's enemies and opposing bureaucracy". President Mao Zedong made it clear after hearing this: "I support Wang Meng's anti-bureaucracy. I don't know Wang Meng either, not his children's in-laws! " It should be said that it was President Mao Zedong's affirmation that protected him from sudden misfortune. But in the end, he was labeled as a "rightist" and finally "balanced" by the organization. The time is 1958, and the fate of twenty years depends on this "balance". First, I went to the suburbs of Beijing to reform through labor, and then I moved my family to Xinjiang with my wife and belt. He lived and worked there silently, and he couldn't write any more. In the sad adversity, he didn't lose confidence in life and the future. He was optimistic about everything. 1979 returned to Beijing and started a new life course. He has been editor-in-chief of People's Literature, vice-chairman of Chinese Writers Association and minister of culture. Although the official position is very high, he looks pale. "For writers, all kinds of experiences are precious and a big classroom for life. I think both my experience as a minister of culture and my experience of living in a bullpen are precious, both fate and lessons from social life. " Therefore, he thinks that the most suitable thing is to be a writer. As a writer, I have been pursuing and exploring unremittingly. /kloc-Long Live Youth, written at the age of 0/9 and published more than 20 years later, abandoned the main story line and created a new narrative structure; In 1980s, in the face of China literature and world literature, he tried to open up artistic space and spiritual space with a spirit of being the first in the world. His experiments and explorations on modernist novels include Stream of Consciousness, sound of spring and Dream of the Sea. , making him a flying butterfly and kite over the literary world of China! After more than forty years of ups and downs, what he pursues is no longer the simplicity of youth, but a kind of justice, harmony and tolerance. He carefully constructed a series of seasons, and has created four, namely, the season of love, the season of lovelorn, the season of hesitation and the season of carnival, and will write two more until today. After all, he came to this day with the times, a participant in various political events in China and a witness to the history of new China. He has no intention to write about great events in ancient and modern times, but he wants to write about his pride, integrity and self-esteem in this context, providing a witness for history. He wants to create a world with his works, a world of reflection and thinking. This world embodies the passion, hope and confusion of a generation, as well as the pursuit, pain, disappointment, awakening and excitement of their generation.
It is a coincidence that Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty and Wang Meng of today share the same surname after a lapse of more than 600 years. They are irrelevant, because * * * has this symbol for the world to call. In fact, apart from their names, they also have an important feature, that is, they are brave in exploring and innovating, which makes them: one plays an important role in the history of China painting and the other plays an important role in the contemporary literary world. This is Wang Meng!
