On the south side of West Street Middle Road in Liulichang, the only old shop with large cornices is particularly eye-catching, with a large plaque in ink and gold-Miqing Pavilion. Miqing Museum is one of the famous shops in Nanzhi, mainly engaged in seal cutting, Four Treasures of the Study, arts and crafts, cultural relics and ceramics, celebrity painting and calligraphy, mounting and other businesses.
In the past, all paper shops in Beijing were called "Nan Paper Shop", except Yongxing Foreign Paper Shop. Later, they opened stores specializing in Dowling Paper, tracing paper Paper and Lead Paper, especially called "Foreign Paper Shop". This is mainly because both paper and ink are shipped from the south. At that time, the most famous Nanzhi shops were Miqing Pavilion, Rong Baozhai Pavilion and Chun Qing Pavilion. Miqing Pavilion is an old-fashioned painting shop on the cultural street of Liulichang, Beijing. Its name comes from the library of Ni Zan, a famous painter in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. The name of "Mi Qing Guan" has been passed down to this day, with a history of more than 650 years.
Ni Zan, Zizhen,No. Yunlin. Ni Jiafu is rich, gentle and studious since childhood. Lofty and unique, indifferent to heart. He is good at painting landscapes and is a family of his own. The so-called "intentional or unintentional, if it is light, if it is sparse", it has formed a desolate depression. His paintings are innocent and quiet, his poems are refined and elegant, and his calligraphy is beautiful. Naturally, he is good at both poetry and calligraphy. His painting style had a great influence on literati landscape painting in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and he was ranked as the "Four Masters of Yuan Dynasty" alongside Wang Meng, Huang and Zhenwu. There are many kinds of books, such as Selected Poems of Stan, Poems of Zishu and Mi Qing Pavilion Collection.
Ni Zan lived a clean life, was indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not go along with the rulers. According to historical records, Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin begged Ni Zan for a painting, so he held a grudge. One day, when he saw Ni Zan on the lake, he ordered someone to catch Ni Zan and kill him. Others begged, Zhang Shixin ordered people to beat Ni Zan dozens of whips. Ni Zan didn't say anything. Later, when someone asked him why, he said that I became vulgar as soon as I talked to him. It can be seen that his personality belongs to Geng Jie and his sentiment is ancient. Ni Zan regarded the senior officials of the Yuan Dynasty as invisible, lived in seclusion in the mountains and rivers, collected paintings and calligraphy of ancient celebrities, and put them in a book pavilion, which he named Mi Qing Pavilion. Clear and pure; Secret, rare. This means that this pavilion contains pure and rare calligraphy and painting treasures. Since then, there has been a "secret pavilion" in the world. So is the second secret.
If we don't study it carefully, how can we know that it has a profound historical origin with China's famous ancient emperor Qianlong, the first scholar in Qing Dynasty and the great scholar Ji Xiaolan? Emperors of all ages grew up on wet nurses' milk, and Qianlong was no exception. Therefore, after Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, his wet nurse, Mammy Zhou, also enjoyed extremely superior treatment.
It is said that when Mammy Zhou visited Ganlong once, she made a small request to Ganlong to give her son a job. His son is about the same age as Gan Long, but he can't write or fight. In a dilemma, Ji Xiaolan, a college student, put forward the suggestion that "you can't do business without writing". Because at that time, the Jinshi who took the exam in Beijing generally lived near Liulichang, and besides exchanging books with each other, they had to buy some pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other appliances, so Ji Xiaolan suggested that his son do business here. Qianlong agreed, and felt the old story between Ni Zan and Mi Qing Pavilion, so he gave it the name-Mi Qing Pavilion. This shop is located in the south of the middle road of West Liulichang. This store is unusually open and magnificent, with a big plaque made of ink and gold. It was written by Akdunbu, a calligrapher of Mongolian flag. It is born out of Jiugong and Huadu Temple Monument, which is quite beautiful and charming, chic and cautious, and has both.
During the Qing Dynasty, who dared to use the word "Qing"? The secret pavilion was once loved by people. The civilian got off the sedan chair, the military attache got off the horse, and the couple changed tea. The secret pavilion fully shows its infinite scenery and prosperity. So is the third secret.
In modern times, the Nanzhi store that Mr. Lu Xun visited earlier is also the Miqing Pavilion. Renzi (19 12) just arrived in Beijing a few months ago. He went to the Mi Qing Museum to buy paper and paintings. 1 1 9th, he wrote in his diary, "I went to Liulichang to buy paper, and Tomi Qingguan bought a page of Lin Qinnan's album, paid 40 yuan 40 cents, and got it about half a month later." After many years, Mr. Lu Xun bought stationery, envelopes, calligraphy and painting, and kept the secret cabinet. Famous painters such as Ada Chen Banding, Xinyu Pu, Wang Xuetao, Wu Guanzhong and Huang Yongyu. They all did their best to paint inscriptions for the Qing Secret Pavilion. There used to be a famous couplet: "Ni Yuqing is the secret cloud forest pavilion, and Mi Laoying is the treasure of Jinzhai." Widely circulated in calligraphy and painting, it once became a much-told story.
