Before and after Fenyang

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a military attache named Guo who gave a daughter to his wife. Please write a couplet to praise him. Why don't you quit? Guo threatened with a steel knife, but he was helpless, so he wrote this couplet. Guo got carried away, thinking that he was praising Du Fu today. In fact, this is a satirical couplet. Comparing this straw bag with two ancient sages, I just make fun of him, because his writing is not like a scholar and his martial arts is not like a soldier. This kind of joint praise and condemnation of reality, the author in a specific environment, not for inducement, not for coercion, showed a brilliant satirical art.

Why is it difficult to travel? I have been going south from Tianzhu Jiuben Santu Taibaizi Song until I went to Diwang in Beijing.

It is not easy to find a teacher. I would like to be a regular person like Dai Anguo, the son of Gaotang II, and rely on the sacred family in Donglu.

The first sentence of the couplet is an amazing language. In the face of everyone's saying that "it is difficult to go to the sky", just think of it as "why is it difficult to travel?" For example, it is like starting from hometown "Tianzhu", passing through Ningyuan "Jiuben" in Hunan Province, boarding the "Three Maps" in Songxian County, Henan Province, passing through Zhouzhi "Taibai" in Shaanxi Province, boarding Zige in Huxian County, Shaanxi Province, crossing the "Terminal South Gate" near xi 'an, and finally reaching the imperial capital Chang 'an. He compared the dynasty to the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, and came to the capital Beijing from a remote southern countryside. He is a scholar, and he became a Beijing official, and he is even more proud to see the emperor. So as to affirm: "What's so difficult about walking?" Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. The second part points out that "it is not easy to find a teacher" and makes a list for myself. There are Gao who is proficient in the Book of Rites, Dade and Dai Sheng's uncle who deleted the Book of Rites when Emperor Xuandi proclaimed himself emperor in the Western Han Dynasty, Kong Anguo, a famous historian and author of Historical Records, and a famous poet in the Western Han Dynasty. Why does this show that he will inspire with these sages, study hard, approach and strive to reach the highest level of Confucius. Although the tone judgments of the upper and lower links are not exactly the same, they can match the semantics. The resolute questions of the first part of the League revealed the joy of success in official career. The second couplet has deep feelings and expresses the spirit of inspiring tireless scholars to forge ahead.

He loves antiques and has a large collection of rubbings. His repeated copying and diligent pursuit won him samadhi and made him outstanding in calligraphy. This couplet "Qing" and "Jin Bao" has been collected by Mi Fei and Ni Yunlin since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. He has a deep admiration for them. He not only draws artistic nutrition from them, but also gets inspiration from their fashion of respecting, approaching and loving the ancient, which has made his calligraphy art.

As a great calligrapher, He is known as a "fairyland on earth". His calligraphy is especially sought after by Yan Zhenqing, and he has accumulated several decades' skill. It is a good place to explore the origin of Zhuanli. In his later years, the wanderer was very diligent in class and copied many Fang Heng Monuments and Zhang Qianbei, which were full of spirit and traces. He wrote a lot of couplets in his life, leaving precious wealth for future generations. This couplet was written in his later years and is the representative of the couplet of seal script. The brushwork is old and natural, with mellow interest and frankness.
