This seal was carved by He Zhen, a famous seal engraver in Ming Dynasty. Biankuan said, "Brother Wang Bogu, lock the seal and present the immortal history of Lan Xiang. He Zhen. " Wang Maodeng (1 5 3 5- 1 6 1 2), whose name is Bogu, was the leader of Wu poetry circles in Wanli period. I also like calligraphy. At that time, the famous Sixth Hospital in Ma Xianglan caused jealousy, so some local ruffians and hooligans colluded with corrupt officials, threatened to arrest her and "blackmailed her several times". Lan Xiang gave everything and got $5,000, but * * * couldn't fill the gap. At this time, thanks to Wang Bogu's help, she was out of the Woods. Lan Xiang was grateful and eager for talents, that is, he wanted to commit himself to the king, but Wang Bogu said, "Do I need your help?" Never accepted her kindness. Lan Xiang, however, was infatuated with love, "longing for love, dreaming of it", until he was old. On Bo Gu's seventieth birthday, from Jinling to Suzhou, "buying wine to celebrate his birthday, feasting for months, singing and dancing, is a golden event for decades." Chen Qikun's Poems in Wang Bogu's Calligraphy says: "The garden is full of flowers, and the tea feast is not over. Seventy birds fly in pairs for three or five nights, and the song is still remembered by Ma Xianglan. " ("Dream Garden Painting and Calligraphy Record") Soon after Suzhou came back, Ma Xianglan was addicted to it and could not afford to get sick. Later, he burned lanterns to worship Buddha, bathed and changed clothes, and sat on the ground and died. Bo Gu was deeply moved when he heard the news, and wrote twelve quatrains, including: "I wrote a poem about Lanzhu, and the ink was stained with tears." If you don't meet the high academic qualifications of surprisingly, Pingkanglang won the title of the school. "(Painting History Society)" Pingkang "refers to the place where * * * lives, and" school book "is another name for * * * in the old society. This is an allusion of Xue Tao in the Tang Dynasty, which expresses the sigh that Ma Xianglan's charming talent has not been appreciated by a confidant like Gao Jie and can only be wiped out. This seal may be written by Bo Gu, perhaps because of Ma Xianglan's melodious singing!
