Yangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Many princes, big businessmen and skilled craftsmen have interpreted one legendary story after another here, and their fascinating infinite charm has naturally attracted countless literati throughout the ages. Li Bai yearned for it with "Fireworks in March in Yangzhou", Ouyang Xiu praised it with "Qionghua Peony on Earth", and Xu Ning gave it "full moon on earth, two points for hooligans." But on closer inspection, perhaps it is such a group of literati-Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics, which has the closest relationship with Yangzhou, the greatest influence and the most groundbreaking significance. Today, let's go to the Eight Eccentrics Memorial Hall in Yangzhou and get to know these outstanding literati!
Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics Memorial Hall is located in Tuoling Lane, an ancient town with a long history. When we walk in this winding alley, don't ignore the Millennium old pagoda tree around us, which is closely related to the famous idiom "Conan Yimeng"! According to legend, at the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Chun Yuba who lived in Yangzhou. In his yard, there is a big locust tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves. On a midsummer night, there are few stars on the moon, and the shadows of trees are blowing gently in the evening breeze. This is a good place to enjoy the cool. Once Chunyuba had a birthday, and he was happy for a while. He drank too much. In the evening, his relatives and friends were scattered. He sat under the locust tree and drank some wine to cool off and fell asleep. In his dream, he went to Dahuan, just in time for the Beijing exam. He signed up for school, and after three games, his poems were very fluent. He was the first in high school when he announced the list. Then, in the court examination, the emperor personally named the champion and betrothed the princess to him as his wife. The scholar became a mother-in-law and a beautiful talk in Beijing for a while. After marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is very happy. Chunyuba was sent by the emperor to Nanhe County as a satrap, staying for 20 years. His hard work was highly praised by the local people. One year, the enemy soldiers invaded, and the general of the Great Huai 'an led the army to meet the enemy and was defeated by the enemy soldiers several times. The emperor ordered Chun Yu Ba to command the national elite to fight against the Japanese pirates. Poor Chun Yuba knows nothing about the art of war. As soon as he came into contact with the enemy soldiers, he was defeated at once. His soldiers and horses were scattered in the east and scattered in the west, and Chunyuba was almost captured. Angry, the emperor removed Chunyu Kun from his post and ordered him to be sent back to China. Chunyu Zun let out an angry cry and woke up from his dream, but when he saw the branches and twinkling stars on the moon, he realized that everything was just a dream. The so-called Nanhe County is just the southernmost trunk of a locust tree. Digging a hole under the big locust tree turns out to be just an ant nest. Li Gongzuo, a scholar in Tang Dynasty, wrote this story as Biography of the South, a famous dramatist in Ming Dynasty. The big pagoda tree in the story is the one in front of us. You see, this ancient pagoda tree is flourishing. After thousands of years, it is still tall and lush. Facing this big tree in the Tang Dynasty, we can feel the long history and cultural heritage of Yangzhou. Let's take a group photo!
Unconsciously, we have come to the front of the memorial. Eight eccentrics memorial hall in Yangzhou was built on 1993,165438+1October 22nd, marking the 300th anniversary of Zheng Banqiao's birth. It is the only professional memorial hall in China that displays and promotes the artistic achievements and innovative spirit of Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics. Then why did it choose the location in the alley? This is because Jin Nong, the representative of the Eight Eccentric Babies in Yangzhou, lived in the West Temple in his later years, and the Eight Eccentric Babies Memorial Hall in Yangzhou was rebuilt by using the ancient buildings of the West Temple. Was the West Temple built by westerners? Of course not. The West Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and Yangzhou was rich in the Tang Dynasty. The temple is close to the street that runs through the city center. It is a concentrated expression of Yangzhou's prosperity and wealth, and it can be called a "western paradise"-like fairyland on earth. In addition, three Buddha statues have been unearthed here, so it is called "West Temple". Please visit the memorial hall with me.
exhibition hall
What we are seeing now is the Ursa Major Hall, which is the main building of western temples with a history of more than 700 years. Its appearance is magnificent and its internal structure is precious nanmu, which is extremely rare in Yangzhou. Now it is the main part of our Eight Eccentrics Memorial Hall.
Let's take a look at this pair of iron pots in front of the hall. We have met their brothers and sisters in the "Xuyuan" of Slender West Lake. Nine iron pots were unearthed in Yangzhou. There are three opinions about the use of iron pots: some people say that Yangzhou is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the canal, with a criss-cross river network and constant floods. When Liang Xiao cast this iron pot, he put it by the water to prevent water. It is said that the cruel cast iron pot of Emperor Yang Di was used as a torture tool. There is also a view that the Taiping army will have a large number of troops and the war is quite complicated. Cast iron woks are used to cook marching rations. No matter what their real use is, they are the representatives of China's long-standing culture. Just like Jin Nong's couplet in front of the hall said that China culture has been written in 81 ways for more than 3,000 years. "More than 3,000 years" refers to the long history of China, and "81" refers to countless cultural elites emerging in history. This couplet is magnificent and magnificent, and it also shows gold well. Another couplet by Zheng Banqiao on the pillar summarizes the greatest characteristics and spiritual connotation of the literati group of Jinnong Lacquer Book and Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics: "Simplify the Sanqiu Tree by deleting the complexity, and index the new February flowers differently." Everyone likes tall and lush trees in spring and summer, but Zheng Banqiao loves autumn trees because they are simple and unique. Everyone likes bright and blooming flowers, but Zheng Banqiao loves the new flowers in February alone, because they are the first to break the shackles of winter and are the messengers of spring. The unique "six books and a half" of Banqiao in this couplet shows the aesthetic mood of "attaching importance to and pursuing innovation". "Innovation" is the most distinctive feature and artistic concept of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, and it is the best summary of the Eight Eccentrics' thoughts. In fact, today, isn't "innovation" our pursuit?
Walking into the hall, these statues standing or sitting in front of us are a group of literati who were active in Yangzhou during the Kanggan period in the Qing Dynasty-Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics. Careful friends must have found it. There are 15 statues. How can they be eight eccentrics? In fact, Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics cannot be interpreted as a number here. Eight eccentrics and weirdos together are an inseparable adjective. In Yangzhou dialect, the eight eccentrics are derogatory, meaning ugly. In the era of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, court painters dominated the painting world. They despised this group of folk painters in Yangzhou with the word "Eight Eccentrics" and called them "Ugly Eccentrics" in calligraphy and painting, hence the name "Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou". Time can prove everything, and the value of "Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics" has finally been recognized. Now, the "Eight Eccentrics" in Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics is a high praise for this group of outstanding literati, from derogatory to affirmative. Now we understand that the Eight Eccentrics don't really mean eight people, but a group. According to historical records, there are as many as 13 kinds of statements about Yangzhou Eight Eccentric Members. Now, we have chosen Jin Nong, Shan Li, Gao, Huang Shen, Li, Wang, Gao Xiang, Bian Shoumin, Chen Zhuan, Yang Fa, Li Wei and Min Zhen as the representatives of this approver.
Now let me introduce some main characters and their representative works of "Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics".
Zheng Banqiao is the highest artistic achievement among the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou. His name is Xie, and his name is Banqiao. He is from Xinghua, Yangzhou. Born in a declining scholarly family, he lost his mother and was brought up by a wet nurse. At the age of 30, my father died and life was even more difficult. The meager income from teaching can no longer support the family, so I made a living by selling paintings and worked as a professional painter in Yangzhou for ten years. In the tenth year of Yongzheng, Banqiao went to Nanjing to take part in the provincial examination, won the jury and then won the Jinshi, and later served as the county magistrate of Fanxian County, Shandong Province. Five years later, he was transferred to wei county for seven years, and 12 served as county magistrate. According to historical records, when he was a magistrate of a county, he had many benefits, no accumulated cases, no public grievances, honesty and frugality. He is an honest official with considerable achievements. Zheng Banqiao is good at drawing orchids, bamboo stones, interplanting plum blossoms and Gu Song. He is not only a famous painter, but also an excellent realistic poet. His calligraphy, unique and unique, is a rare treasure. It is not an exaggeration for people to call him "the three wonders of poetry, calligraphy and painting". Zheng Banqiao's paintings have high artistic attainments, which mainly come from two aspects: First, he learned from the ancients, mainly from Xu Wei, Chen Chun, Shi Tao and Gao, but he did not stick to it, but learned and used it flexibly. He wrote an inscription in "Stone Map": "I have loved the paintings painted by Mr. Sonam and Chen all my life, and I have seen my son painting bamboo, or pressing or not pressing, or whole or broken, or finished or infinite, so I took the meaning and became a stone potential, and then added a seam. Although I have learned two books, pen and ink are also one breath. " This is the secret of his learning from the ancients. When he was studying painting, he strongly advocated learning from nature. He wrote an inscription in "Zhu Mo Map": "Where I painted bamboo, there is nothing to learn from, but I got more from paper windows, white walls, sunshine and moon shadows." He studies society and patriarchal nature, but he doesn't engage in pure naturalism. It is to analyze and compare the information collected from nature, find out the rules, and then create them. At the same time, according to his years of creative practice, he summed up three different creative stages: having a clear mind, having a clear mind and having a clear hand. "Bamboo in the Eyes" is an objective natural scene and an inspiration for observing and experiencing nature. "Bamboo in the chest" is the conception of artistic creation, and "bamboo in the hand" is the realization of artistic creation. With the correct theoretical guidance, Zheng Banqiao created a large number of excellent works in his life, forming a fresh, elegant and vigorous artistic style, which made new contributions to the development of literati painting.
The word is approachable, and it is called King of Nest Forest, Waishi, etc. He is from Xiuning, Anhui. He lives in Yangzhou and is good at painting flowers. He can tick at will, beautiful and colorful. He is good at drawing orchids and bamboos, especially plums. His brushwork is exquisite and detached, his brushwork is beautiful and fascinating, and his pen and ink are light and interesting, which makes people compete for it. Jin Nong said that his painting of plums is similar to that of Gao Xiang, who is good at thinning branches. Wang is good at painting numerous branches, and they all have the fragrance in the air and the interest of snow-capped mountains and forests. Wang was blind in his later years, but he was able to write freely without losing his charm. When I was blind, I carved a seal "I still have one eye to see plum blossoms". Later, I became blind, but I still wrote freely. Jin Nong praised him as "blind, but not blind." "Counting the tears of plum blossoms, February is bright, and self-pity and self-pity." In front of Shi Kefa's tomb in Meihualing, Yangzhou, the giant plum blossom carved mother-of-pearl landing screen was spectacular, and Long song complained. This is the famous "Wang Mei" of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" Wang. This descendant of Wang Lun, who spent half his life in Yangzhou, is arrogant. On his plum blossom screen, countless branches of plum blossom are blooming on the north and south branches. "The horizontal branches are full of dragons, and the hands are crazy." The twists and turns are like dragon dance, the fragrant snow is colorful, and the eyes are full of plum blossoms. There are only a few poets with one eye and cold plum blossoms. A cold plum blossoms, a sideways, Leng Xiang is overflowing, trees are full of fragrance. His talent is admirable, and his indomitable spirit moves us even more.
Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was called a "ghost talent". There is also a painter named "five talents and five ghosts" in Yangzhou Eight Monsters. This is not because his painting style is as cold as Li He's, but because he is good at drawing ghosts and claims to be a ghost in broad daylight. He is Luo Pin, the youngest of the Eight Monsters. Luo Pin was born in Yangzhou in the 11th year of Yongzheng. Luo Pin has a distinctive feature: his eyes are blue, glittering and translucent and lovely, so he is nicknamed "Axi" at home. He once lived in Tommy Lane, Caiyi Street, Yangzhou, claiming to be "Cao Zhu Shilin" and the guild hall was "Night Vanilla Hall". So far, it is well preserved, and it is the only private house among the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou". Luo Pin is a disciple of Jin Nong. Like Jin Nong and Gao Xiang, he has never been an official in his life, and playing ball is also his hobby. Luo Pin's strengths are figures, Buddha statues, mountains and rivers and plum blossoms. In particular, he is famous for painting ghosts. The Ghost Funny Picture Scroll is his masterpiece. There are eight ghost funny pictures. The first one is a faint face and limbs in a cigarette. In the second picture, a fat ghost in pointed shorts hurried ahead, followed by a thin ghost in a fringed hat, like a servant; The third picture shows a gorgeous and ugly "rich ghost" holding an orchid, approaching a female ghost dressed in women's clothing and whispering in a low voice, while a white impermanence is eavesdropping there; In the fourth picture, a short ghost sticks to the ground, and a child in red is holding a wine bowl for him under his hostage. The fifth picture shows a long-legged green-haired ghost, holding out his arm to make a wanted order; The sixth picture is a big-headed ghost with two children in front, looking back while running; The seventh picture shows a ghost running in the wind and rain with an umbrella. There is a ghost in front and two children's heads beside the umbrella. The eighth photo is next to the ancient tomb in LAM Raymond, where two bones and skeletons are talking. It's really strange and makes people laugh and cry. The painter described a strange and grotesque ghost world with exaggerated techniques, which was actually a ruthless satire on the society at that time. His paintings follow others' example, but he doesn't stick to others' example and has a strange style. What is particularly commendable is that his wife Fang Wanyi and his two sons, Shao Yun and Yunyun, are good at drawing plum blossoms, and they are known as the "Luo School" and praised by writers Yuan Mei and Yao Nai in the Qing Dynasty.
The "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" are all stunted and have their own characteristics. Shan Li lived a bohemian life, painted a wide range of subjects, and was especially good at using water. The seal of "selling paintings without being an official" is a portrayal of his life. Huang Shen is a famous dutiful son. Although he was born in poverty, he never bowed to life, made unremitting efforts, and finally became famous and married. "Painting history never draws style. I am good at difficulties." Li's Wind Bamboo Map shows his superb skills and courage to challenge difficulties. Gao Xiang is good at calligraphy and painting, seal cutting, and painting plum blossoms "all win with meaning". In his later years, his right hand was disabled, and he still created many excellent works with his left hand instead of books. The life stories and representative works of the main characters of "Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics" are displayed in the window around us, and interested friends can enjoy them slowly.

Walking out of the exhibition hall, I saw a towering ginkgo tree. This ginkgo tree is over 780 years old and is one of the top ten famous trees in Yangzhou for more than 500 years. Ginkgo tree, also known as ginkgo tree and gongsun tree, is called gongsun tree, which means that the predecessors planted trees until future generations can benefit. Ginkgo tree grows slowly, so how many storms should this stout tree have experienced? Ginkgo biloba leaves are fan-shaped and dioecious. The fruit is called Ginkgo biloba, which can be used as medicine. The appearance of ginkgo trees changes greatly throughout the year, especially in late autumn. The golden brilliance of the leaves falls with the wind, which is magnificent, so it is called "Gongsun Sprinkling Gold". Opposite the ginkgo tree is Yangzhou Flower Qionghua. It is said that Emperor Yang Di went to Yangzhou to see Qionghua. "There is no similar flower in the world", and Qionghua's reputation spreads all over the world!
We are now in the place where Jin Nong, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, began to live at the age of 70, and also the place where the abbot of the West Temple lives. Both Jin Nong and Kangxi were born in Renhe, Zhejiang, which is today's Hangzhou. Jin Nong was born early, and lost his poetic name when he was young, which won the appreciation of his predecessors in central Zhejiang. However, this life is not long, probably because his father died and his family suddenly became poor, and Jin Nong's desire to make progress failed to come true. When Jinnong was 30 years old, he got a serious illness, which was malignant malaria. "Cold and heat beat each other, and his skin was emaciated and cut." At that time, life was very difficult. "Hungry in January", not to mention treatment, became a problem to eat. In the midst of poverty and illness, he expressed the feelings that "everything is lost when people reach middle age" and "they want to be old when they are young". During Jin Nong's illness, he was pregnant on a cold night and couldn't sleep. Therefore, with Cui's words of "Lonely Winter Heart", he was named "Mr. Winter Heart", which shows the desolation of Jin Nong's mood. At the age of 35, Jin Nong first came to Yangzhou. This time in Yangzhou, he was deeply impressed by the beauty of Yangzhou's scenery, the prosperity of humanities and the large number of books. When I first came to Yangzhou, I fell in love with Yangzhou, laying the foundation for coming to Yangzhou frequently and settling in Yangzhou in the future. Later, while seeking fame in the capital, Jinnong lived in an inn in Cherry Xie Jie outside Qianmen. People who should be promoted in the provinces come irregularly. Only the inn and so on were the first to arrive. , barely maintained by a little food expenses sent by the Qing court. It took a long time to start the exam. When the exam results were announced, Jin Nong and his friend Li Jian both fell out of the list. Jin Nong deeply regrets it. Is it a farce made by others or a dream made by yourself? I am a 50-year-old man Isn't it boring to come here to catch this empty excitement? He woke up from a dream. " There is no such thing as "happiness" and "fame" in the world. It is not for people like them, and he will not ask for "fame" any more. He wants to truly fulfill his ambition in the valley of the forest, and decides to "take cloth as a hero", and then "turn around and walk alone, so as not to bend over and vote for others". In the fifteenth year of Qianlong, 64-year-old Jin Nong began to settle in Yangzhou. At first, he lived in another courtyard of Xiesikong Temple, which is today's Tianning Temple in Yangzhou. At the age of 70, he moved to the West Temple. In the autumn of the 28th year of Qianlong, 77-year-old Jin Nong died in loneliness. Compared with other people in the Eight Eccentrics, Jin Nong's painting path is broader. He is unique and creative without copying others, which is inseparable from his knowledge, talent and mind. Because he was not an official all his life, he was famous in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties where he lived, so he got the nickname of "celebrities dressed in clothes in three dynasties"
In his later years, Jin Nong lived in this small courtyard with two sides and three sides. At that time, the western temples were depressed and desolate. Jin Nong once wrote a poem: "There is no Buddha or monk, and there is a lamp in the empty hall." At this time, Jinnong was old and frail, and evaluated himself as "the youngest disciple of the Tathagata" and "a monk who was worried about becoming a monk". While selling paintings for a living, he entertains himself by chanting, writing scriptures and painting buddhas. Walking into Jinnong's Buddhist chanting hall, we can imagine Jinnong's situation and mentality from the five-character couplet in this Buddhist niche: "There are hundreds of scriptures and thousands of Buddhist paintings". The Buddha statue in the middle was painted by Jin Nong. This Buddha statue is beautifully painted. The lines used in the folding structure of clothes are calligraphy pens with "golden stone flavor", such as "Jin Cuodao", which is like "painting sand with a cone", dignified and vigorous. The most distinctive feature is the use of more than 20 lines and more than 700 words as the background, such as the vertical banners with the word Zen written on them. The content describes where the Buddha came from, the role of the Buddha in people, the 40 great painters painting Buddha statues for temples in history, their own understanding of Buddhism and the scene description when painting, which can be called Jin Nong's masterpiece of painting Buddha. The Buddhist Temple is surrounded by paintings created here by Jin Nong and Luo Pin, each with an appreciation article. Let's look at this painting "Sweeping the Fragrant Forest", which vividly depicts the image of sweeping the Fragrant Forest from behind. Buddhism is quiet, sweeping the floor, and the inscription is "Xianglin has a tower to sweep and wash, and the relic magnifies the light, not in the tower, but in the hand." This philosophical writing is the embodiment of Jin Nong's Buddhist thought that "Buddha is my heart".
There is a small courtyard in front of and behind the house, with two century-old osmanthus trees, plantains planted against the wall in the west and strange stones erected. It is based on Jin Nong's "Banana Stone Map", which is small but artistic. There are three rooms in the back, the bedroom in the east, the living room in the middle and the studio in the west. On the wall of the bedroom, Jin Nong's "Drawing Ling" and "Self-Written Seven-Unique Lacquer Book" are hung. There is a couplet hanging on the wall in the middle of the living room, which says, "It's better to eat poetry in rags, and it's not surprising that it's not Buddha or fairy", and it's given to Jin Nong's old friend Wang. Wang Yisheng had no worries about food and clothing, and his fate was bumpy. He was blind in his later years. Jin Nong praised others for their strangeness and well-written poems, which reflected their mutual affection. In fact, isn't this couplet a portrayal of Jin Nong himself? Look at the self-portrait in the middle, which has both form and spirit. Pay attention to the feet of the portrait. Wearing red shoes is really puzzling. How can a handsome man, or the "Tathagata's youngest disciple", be dressed like this? I think this may show the desire of Jin Nong to "step through the world of mortals", don't you think?
There are four paintings and calligraphy on the left and right walls, namely, Hu Cai Tu by Jin Nong, Mei Zhi Tu by Wang, his poems and Zhu Shi Tu. There are bookcases, treasure chests and drawing tables in the studio, and there is an unfinished plum branch picture on the drawing table, as if the owner had just left. Before I leave Jinnong's residence, let me tell you a short story. In the Qing Dynasty, a famous gentleman with great poems lived in Yangzhou and became a guest of honor for major salt merchants. Once, a salt merchant gave a big banquet in Pingshan Hall, Yangzhou, and the famous gentleman was presented at the guest table. During the dinner, it was suggested that everyone write a poem about "Fast-flushers" to help sober up. When it was the turn of the salt merchant, he struggled for a long time and failed to come up with a word. The guest asked him to punish the wine, but he suddenly said I did, and casually read a sentence, "Every piece is from liuhong." . Everyone laughed, and Qi said he made it up, like catkins in the snow. Can it be "red" Tell him to hand over the source. Embarrassed, Mr. Shi Ming got up and said, "This is a poem about Pingshan Hall sung by Yuan people, and he quoted it correctly." People don't believe me, please read the whole article. Mr. Wang calmly intoned, "There is twenty-four winds near the twenty-four bridge, and the old Jiangdong is still missed by the railing." The setting sun shines on the peach blossom house, and Liu Hong. " . Yes, catkins naturally dye red in the sunset. Hearing this, everyone unanimously expressed their admiration for this gentleman's erudition. In fact, this poem was improvised by this gentleman himself and became a salt merchant's salvation. The embarrassed salt merchant is of course very happy. After a day, he sent a lot of money to the gentleman as a reward. This story written by Lu Changchun, a Qing Dynasty, comes from Talking about Restaurant Guests. It is clearly stated in the article that this gentleman is none other than Jin Nong, one of the famous Eight Eccentric Men in Yangzhou.
Jinnong tearoom
In the southwest of the guest room is the tea room, where we will learn a lot about tea culture from the paintings and calligraphy works of He Wang, who are called "Tea Room". In front of you, I introduced Wang's blindness in his later years. Some scholars believe that it is directly related to his excessive love of tea. It seems that extremes meet. Although tea is good, you can't drink too much!
This picture of Yuchuanzi fried tea was made by Jin Nong in imitation of the Song Dynasty. The situation of frying tea in the picture reproduces the original method of making tea. The famous "tea song" in this calligraphy work "Yuchuanzi loves tea" is the description of the seven realms of drinking tea by the Tang poet Lu Tong: "A bowl of throat is moist; Two bowls of broken loneliness; Three wrists to find my heart, only five thousand volumes of words; Four bowls of light sweat, uneven life, all pores scattered; Five bowls of bones and muscles are distinct; Six bowls of fairy spirits; I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the breeze blowing under my arm. Penglai Mountain, where is it? Yuchuanzi, take this breeze to go home. " Anyone who studies tea in the future likes to quote this poem, because tea is not only a drink for us in China, it has already become a symbol of spirit, a symbol of life, and has been deeply integrated into China culture.
Please look to the west of the teahouse. A row of bamboos are born against the wall, dense and orderly. At the top right of the white wall, the word "painting bamboo" inscribed by Jin Nong is patchy: "I didn't learn to paint bamboo until I was sixty years old, and no one knew the previous sage bamboo school. There are tens of millions of things planted and repaired at home. Whenever there is a high night, write it in the shadow of the sun, that is, take this gentleman as a teacher. " There are two stalagmites under the word, and the scenery is unique. A small courtyard, with a white wall, bamboo, strange stones and lacquer books, seems to integrate the thought of Jin Nong, the head of the Eight Eccentrics, with nature, and become a scene of "green shadows filling the wall". You can take a group photo here as a souvenir and leave this beautiful artistic conception.
Jin Nong lived in such an environment for seven years in his later years. During this period, 24-year-old Luo Pin became a "disciple of poetry" and studied painting. In fact, young Luo Pin's painting skills are not inferior to those of Jin Nong, so why should he learn from Jin Nong? Legend has it that after Jin Nong settled down in the West Temple, he rented a room facing the street next to the nearby county school and hired several servants to run the lantern business. Jin Nong painted or wrote some works and put them on lanterns. One day, the servant told Jinnong, "Business is very good recently. A young man bought all the lanterns hung up early in the morning. " Jin Nong thought, "I didn't write the money myself, I stamped it myself." Who did this? " The next day, Jin Nong sat in the shop in advance to see what had happened. Sure enough, as described by the following people, there appeared a young man who was aggressive and extremely delicate. Just as he bought lanterns and was ready to go out, Jinnong said, "Please stay a little longer after his death." The young man turned around and found that it was Jin Nong. He immediately took out dozens of pieces of Xi paper from his carry-on parcel and handed it to Jin Nong. Jin Nong was very moved. The original paintings are all paintings and calligraphy on lanterns that have been sold. The young man said sincerely, "I respect Mr. Wang and want to worship you as a teacher." Jinnong was overjoyed and immediately recognized his apprentice. This is a good story, because Jin Nong lived in a western temple in his later years, and his feelings were very lonely. During the period, accepting disciples added a lot of interest and creative vitality. This was also given to a pair of disciples. Luo Pin is the leader of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, and his participation has continued the activities of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou for many years. Jin Nongke, a 77-year-old man, died in a guest house and was buried by his disciple Luo Pin in HuangHeshan, Linping, Hangzhou.
Dongyuan scenic spot
In front of the painting exhibition hall of Mr. Li Yaru, honorary president of Yangzhou Traditional Chinese Painting Academy and a famous painter, there is a pool called "Lotus Pond", also known as "Lotus Pond Peeping the Ice". When Jin Nong lived in the West Temple, he had a hobby of "taking cranes as companions". His poem "Hungry Crane Today" records the poverty he lived at that time and the situation of sharing happiness with cranes. Farmers raising cranes added interest to his lonely and bitter life in his later years. "Draw a plum crane on a moonlit night, and the crane dances once to clear the soul." He once rode a crane through the snow and wrote a poem on the wall: "What are you thinking at this time? The crane on the pool peeps at the ice. " The feelings of high fitness can be seen.
Turn the "Hechi" and you will arrive at the "Zhuquan Pavilion". This is a four-corner pavilion built on the well of Xisi Temple. After living in the West Temple for seven years, it is the water in this well that Jin uses for agriculture. Surrounded by rockeries, bamboos and pebble paths beside the well, a "bamboo spring secluded place" is formed. Jinnong loved bamboo all his life and took painting bamboo as his pleasure in his later years. Well water is also called spring water, hence the name "Bamboo Spring". At that time, the leisure chapter commonly used by farmers was called "bamboo spring". Now we build pavilions on ancient wells to pursue the lofty and elegant feelings of farmers.
To the south along Zhuquan Road is a "Five Dynasties Classrooms", which was carved in the four years of the Five Dynasties Baoda University, and the content is Buddhism "Dalagni Miao Yan has no obstacles to great compassion". The building is hexagonal with no words on the back. It is conceivable that it stands against the wall, and the upper part now exists. 100 words, with smooth lines, stable fonts, clear points and vivid charm, is of great value to the study of Buddhist calligraphy in the Five Dynasties.
This long corridor is called the "Collection Monument Gallery". The 6 1 calligraphy and painting works handed down from ancient times by Eight Eccentrics were selected and displayed on both sides of the long corridor through seal cutting and rubbing. These inscriptions can not only reflect the innovative ideas of the Eight Eccentrics, but also represent their own artistic characteristics. There are many selected engravings of Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy works, among which there are many well-known poems, such as "It's a blessing to suffer", "Inseparable" and "Singing and Blowing Ancient Yangzhou". There is a garden sketch in the northeast of the stele gallery, which we call "Lotus Pond Reflecting the Moon". Through this window, which is similar to the flower window of Xu Yuankui in Slender West Lake, the Taihu Stone hidden by bamboo looks like a gold farmer who worships Buddha. We can see a crescent-shaped pool with water lilies and small fish swimming in the water. Looking up, a piece of white marble is engraved with the running script of "lotus pond reflecting the moon", which makes people feel very quiet and peaceful.
Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics Memorial Hall is rich in cultural heritage, which needs us to calm down and savor. I just gave you some general introduction just now. Interested friends may wish to enjoy it again!
