Gradually, I walked to the distant smoke grass, and suddenly I fell in front of the eaves next to Gaoting.
About the author:
Xu Wei (152 1~ 1593), an outstanding painter and writer in Ming Dynasty, was born in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). When the word was changed to long, it was called Tianchi Mountain, or it was called Tian Shuiyue, Ivy League Old Man, Ivy League Taoist, Ivy League layman, Tianchi Yuyun, Jin Lei, Jin Huishan, Yinshan Buyi, Baigu Mountain, Goose Nose Shan Nong, etc.
Xu Wei was clever and witty since childhood. And ambitious. Yan Song, who took part in the anti-Japanese struggle and opposed the rape of the southeast coast during Jiajing period, had a very rough life, which can be described as "down and out in the world". He ended up in prison for seven or eight years. After he was released from prison, he was down and out, sick, selling poems, articles and paintings for a living, and living in poverty all his life. He studied painting in middle age and inherited Liang Kai's brush and ink and Lin Liang's and Shen Zhou's freehand flower-and-bird paintings. Therefore, he is good at drawing ink painting, indulged in using a pen, and drew a broken chrysanthemum with dripping ink, flowing in Gu Zhuo, with a unique style. He also painted landscapes, regardless of rope and ink, and the characters he painted were lifelike. His brushwork is more bold and concise, dry pen, wet pen and broken pen can be used. His style is fresh and unrestrained in Wang Yang, forming an "Ivy League School". He himself is particularly proud of calligraphy. Claiming that "my book is the first, poetry is the second, writing is the third, and painting is the fourth". Yuan Hongdao and others praised his calligraphy as "bold and unrestrained", "vigorous and charming" and "above Wang Yayi and Wen". His Huangjiatu is vigorous and powerful, vividly showing the late autumn atmosphere of crab crawling and Hà Thu dying. The works have been handed down to this day. His works include: Four Faces of Man, Narration of Nanci, Lost Text of Xu Wenchang, Complete Works of Xu Wenchang, etc. Famous works handed down from generation to generation include Long Scroll of Ink Grape, Flowers and Birds of Landscape Figures (both in the Palace Museum), Long Scroll of Peony and Banana Stone and Nine Sections of Ink Flower (now in the Palace Museum).
