Ink Notes

This book is written by a woman - Ma Jingjing - she may be about the same age as me, but I don't recognize her. Reading a book like this is really a foggy feeling. I know nothing about ink painting. I can only recognize a few Chinese characters and the names of a few ancient people. Fortunately, when I read this book, my mind felt relaxed, like a very sleepy person, suddenly lying on Simmons, feeling very comfortable, so he stretched out his limbs, arranged them into a big character, and began to dream. , Well, there are pictures and there are truths, haha.

Zhao Mengfu—Zi Ang of the Zhao family, inscription and postscript

The most charming thing about ancient paintings is that time passes very slowly in the paintings. After more than ten years, you will write an inscription to commemorate it, and then again. 30 years, or even 300 years, another friend will also comment. There have been many changes, but in this painting, they still seem to be taking their time.

Huang Gongwang - Living in the Fuchun Mountains

The long scroll pays attention to scattered perspective, which is simply unscientific. One of the criteria for "literati painting" is to emphasize the meaning rather than the form. In Huang Gongwang's own words: Painting cannot convey the meaning. What he painted was the Fuchun Mountain he saw and projected into his mind.

Huang Gongwang would go to the Fuchun Mountains every day during the day and draw pictures wherever he went. When he came back, he would complete "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" based on the draft. This seven-meter-long roll took three years to make.

Wu Zhen - Ink Play, Fisherman

Wu Zhen drew a series of "Pictures of Fisherman", but he could not get food in exchange. A child of a noble family lived in poverty at the end of his life, making a living by telling fortunes on the street.

Wang Meng - "Residence in the Summer Mountains"

Literaturers in the Yuan Dynasty especially liked to add a little figure between the landscapes, hoping that those who appreciate the paintings would regard themselves as the characters in the paintings. The little man in the painting is at the foot of the mountain. He wants to go up the mountain but can never make it.

In the painting, Ge Zhichuan stands on the bridge, holding a fan in his left hand and holding a deer in his right hand. He is worthy of being an immortal. He looks around and sees the mountains one after another so high that they can reach the clouds, but he still cannot find the way to immortality. .

It is funny to say that in his later years, Wang Meng, a bereaved relative of the Song Dynasty (grandson of Zhao Mengfu), refused to use the name Zhu Ming, which indirectly helped him in revenge, and did not leave any traces on the painting. Later, he served as the prefect of Tai'an. He was imprisoned at the age of 78 for the "Hu Weiyong case" and died of old age in prison. This year was the 18th year of Hongwu.

Ni Zan—The No. 1 Work in the World

In his later years, Ni Zan’s family fell into decline, and it was a time of troubled times, with thieves everywhere. Zhang Shixin, the brother of Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the peasant army, paid a lot of money for a painting, but he couldn't get it. Zhang Shixin was so angry that he caught Ni Zan who was boating alone on Tai Lake and beat him severely. Ni Zan actually remained silent. He said: "It's common to speak out."

Earlier, Ni Zan built a toilet made of fragrant wood and goose feathers. , I don’t smell any foul smell.” He was the one who made Zhao Maier take a shower that day. He was really a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The work is as bland as a red background. Among the four painters of the Yuan Dynasty, Ni was the best at painting portraits, but he refused to add figures to his landscape paintings. That's because he doesn't trust everyone in society, and all three religions and nine schools are full of dirt.

Wen Zhengming

Wen Zhengming’s nickname was Wenbi, but the forger often wrote it as “Bi” in confusion. “History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of Wen Zhengming” records: “Wen Ming was young and unintelligent. "You are five or six years old and you still can't speak. When he was 79 years old, he painted "Ancient Woods and Cold Spring". On the steep mountain peaks that go straight up and down, the pine trees are entangled with each other, claws and claws, trying to grow upwards. There is only a narrow waterfall going straight up and down, showing a tough and stubborn old man.

Tang Yin

Tang Bohu was the number one scholar at the age of 16 and was famous throughout Jiangnan. Full of ambition, he went to Beijing for scientific research, but he happened to meet Ding Zhu's teammate Xu Jing, a wealthy businessman, and they stayed with him all the way. Xu Jing was the best at plotting. He visited Cheng Minzheng, the chief examiner, and bribed Cheng's servants generously to get the exam questions. As a result, he violated the king's law and was imprisoned. The emperor issued a decree that Tang Yin would never be allowed to take scientific examinations. Although he was later cleared, his reputation was ruined and his future was ruined.

Tang Bohu also likes to draw ladies. He is definitely an expert. He probably hangs out in romantic places. He is also extremely sensitive and intelligent, and he knows the thoughts of girls very clearly. "Autumn Wind Fan", there is a painting of a woman, it is clearly herself, the cold swish makes people shiver.

What's more, the erotic palace is the most famous, and it is considered a livelihood.

Later generations often said that Tang Bohu had many wives and concubines, but Feng Menglong and others used the topic to play on the topic, saying that he had nine wives and even went out to order autumn fragrance. Who knew that after he married his second wife, he only had one confidante, Shen Jiuniang? .

Qiu Ying

Qiu Ying is probably illiterate. He can't even write his own name "True Father Qiu Ying" well. He always writes in a formal style. In "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace", Wang Zhaojun's position is very obvious. He is larger than the girls around him. This is the main feature of Tang Dynasty paintings. The main figure must be larger than the people around him, regardless of proportion.

Dong Qichang

Anyone with a high official position must have good calligraphy. The 17-year-old Songjiang scholar ranked second. Dong Qichang was first in the list of articles, but his calligraphy was poor. Dong Qichang was greatly humiliated, so he wrote "Duobao Pagoda Stele" and practiced calligraphy like crazy.

Xu Wei

Ninety percent of geniuses end up as lunatics. Xu Wei's freehand brushwork does not pursue form at all, and his crazy pen and ink express his inner pride.

The ultimate form of madness is suicide. When Xu Wei was in his 40s, he was appreciated by Hu Zongxian and became his subordinate. Hu Zongxian was later brought down by Yan Song, and Xu Wei was imprisoned. He was completely disappointed in life from then on. He wrote an epitaph for himself in prison, and then drove an iron nail into his ear, but he did not die. After he recovered, he hit his kidney sac with a hammer, but he still did not die. Repeatedly, he committed suicide 9 times without success.

The next year, Xu Wei killed his second wife in a hallucination. This time, after staying in prison for 7 years, Hanlin Zhang Yuanbian appreciated his talent and happened to catch up with Ming Shenzong. Emperor Wanli granted amnesty to the world and Xu Wei was released from prison. He was already 53 years old at this time.

After he was released from prison, his life was uncertain. It would be better to have someone take care of his food and drink in 丨. In addition, he had a weird personality and crazy behavior, so he broke off friendship with his benefactor Zhang Yuanbian within two days.

There is a couplet at the door of the small shabby house where I lived in my later years: several rickety houses, and a person with a southern accent and a northern accent.

Xu Wei sells paintings. When he has a little more money, and others come to buy them with a large sum of money, he still refuses to sell them; but as long as he has no money, he can treat him to a meal and exchange them for a painting. , completely as you wish.

Chen Hongshou

Chen Hongshou does not belong to any faction. The most striking feature of his figure paintings is the look in his eyes - what are you looking at? - the playful words express the boredom and anguish in his heart. Yearning for the Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest, he indulges in the sensuality of dogs and horses, and indulges in dissolute activities. He drinks, eats, and paints, and he has to be accompanied by beautiful women for everything he does.

Zhang Dai's "Tao'an Dream Memories" recorded a large number of ridiculous things that the two of them did while drinking and looking for girls. For example, a Qing Dynasty official forced Chen Hongshou to draw with a knife, but he refused to draw. As a result, a beautiful woman toasted him with a glass of wine. He drew it immediately; the two of them drank too much and went rowing in the middle of the night. When they met a girl of unknown origin who wanted to take a boat, Chen Hongshou drank with her until they reached the cemetery. When he woke up in the morning, he was alone. Later, he became a monk and called himself "Rei Chi". He died suddenly at home in his later years and had no place to bury him. He only left four lines in his poem: "A wasteful person earns a false reputation, and a poor ghost will be scolded. If a country is destroyed, it will be unfaithful and unfilial." They don’t even paint portraits of emperors, but they don’t want to be slaves to the country’s subjugation. At the same time, Zhou Lianggong entered the Qing Dynasty and became a courtier. He was invited to paint, and what he got was indeed a book called "Returning to Come". Yuanming's eyes were squinted.

Shi Tao

A descendant of King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty, his real name was Zhu Ruoji. Zhu Ruoji was 3 years old when the Ming Dynasty died and knew nothing. His father, Zhu Hengjia, fled to the south with his family and became a prisoner. Later, he wanted to proclaim himself emperor, but was killed. The eunuch took Zhu Ruoji and fled to the temple. He became a monk and changed his name to Yuanji and Shitao to save his life.

Without Shi Tao, there would be no modern art history. The most famous visual feature of Shi Tao’s paintings is the ink dots.

Zhu Da

"Da" means donkey in the popular slang of the time. When the Ming Dynasty fell, Zhu Youhuan (original name of Zhu Da) was 19 years old. His country was ruined and his family was ruined, so he pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool. The "Bada Shanren Biography" records that when he became a monk at the age of 23, he fell to the ground and sobbed at first, then raised his head to the sky and laughed...or danced in the city, performing various tricks in a day. He didn't say a word all day long, and the word "mute" was hung on the door sign. I don't know if he really didn't want to speak, or if he was afraid of exposing something.

Zhu Da's paintings of birds, insects and fish do not have beautiful feathers or beautiful figures. They are all black. The most prominent thing is the blank position of the eyes, a white eye that turns to the sky, a stroke of Expressive, like an autistic patient.

In his later years, Bada Shanren was drunk every day and went completely crazy.

Studying is really good, no one cares about you, and you are even more comfortable during the summer vacation. As the sun goes by outside the window, I just stretch out my arms and sleep with him. Even if you wake up, you can still be in a daze and look at a few green plants. The grapes on the shelf have turned black, but the buttocks are still green and taste sour. Most of the time, I still browse on my mobile phone, looking at the beauties and the wind, half-heartedly. The book is also lying there, not despising you, waiting for you to pick it up, but it is still as fresh as first love, and I want it with all my heart. Give it all to you.

The same is true for this book. Hu Lundi read it, threw it away, and read it again yesterday. I felt a little tired of it, but finally I couldn't resist my stomach growling, so I read it again. After all, it can't be used as food. It's really hard to say good things. If it can be worth a few grains of millet, I should be full of food... Ha, the jokes are endless.

Let’s get to the point. It’s great to read a book like this. It’s perfect for decorating the appearance. The knowledge on the page is full of elegance, but in my heart there may also be resentment, anger, pride, and cowardice. ...Anyway, it’s all kinds of anger...

In this way, if you fart, you will feel more comfortable. Therefore, the more obsessed you are with reading, the louder and louder the fart will be. happy.

Xu Wei's writing always reminds me of the grease pouring down from Guifeng's clothes. It's so painful to be hanged and still have a breath. If Ruan Ji is still alive, he can still whistle a few times. Maybe Ruan Ji's whistle is the foreign language of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. When he curses people, no one knows how enjoyable it is for him to whistle. Even tigers and apes have learned how to roar again...

Xu Wenchang just drank, drank blindly, pretended to be crazy, pretended to commit suicide, and failed to achieve results nine times. Technique...

The Shi Tao net is just a little bit, like vomiting, flying things everywhere, maybe the spleen and stomach are not good, and can't stand the evil spirit of dampness, cold and hot flashes. I should have had Huoxiang Zhengqi Water a long time ago. This is originally a traditional Chinese medicine that starts from Qi.

Ni Zan is really fresh, but too bad, and the ink used is too small, as if he can't bear the money, he doesn't even draw a single person, it's too much, Ruan Xiaotian also has blue eyes, Zhao Maier is really After eight hundred lifetimes of misfortune, I met this guy who even had to wash the sycamore leaves three times...

Ha, you pooped so much and you couldn't stop showing off, I asked me to eat, pot It's steaming inside, and the noodles are so soaked that they can't even be put in the mouth... Eating, eating, reading, and writing are all useless. Ink notes, hum, this name is so true, it hurts my heart. Hey, Tang Yin is really good, he can take care of the appetite of our people. The little painter is so stupid, he is still painting Wang Zhaojun... Alas, ink and wash can't be used as food, ha, eat... Ha, haha.
