Fang Dishan is known as a "modern joint saint". He studied poetry with Yuan Shikai and Yuan Cizi, a famous modern scholar. Fang is much older than Zhang Daqian, but because of his congenial temperament, he forgot all about his friends. Zhang often gives him paintings that he didn't leave behind, so that he can sell them. When Zhang Daqian was thirty-six years old (1934), he went to Korea for sightseeing and exchange. Friends bid farewell to him in Zizhulin, Tianjin, and Fang Dishan improvised two sets of embedded couplets as gifts. A cloud:
The two largest mountains and rivers in the world;
There are thousands of plain roads.
The second cloud:
The Eighth National Congress is really immortal!
Five thousand years later, who?
The two couplets are neat, and the second couplet is especially suitable for Daqian's identity. The Eighth National Congress is Zhu Da, a great painter in the early Qing Dynasty (Ming imperial clan, alias Badashanren). "Half a thousand" is the word of Gong Xian, a painter in the early Qing Dynasty, whose nickname is Chai Zhangren. The Federation believes that Daqian's painting art has inherited eight major arts, while Yue Ling is five thousand years old, and the evaluation is quite pertinent.
Zhang Daqian is also good at calligraphy and painting. His calligrapher, Li Ruiqing, a Taoist priest, and Zeng Nong's beard, can write "Harmony and Harmony", taking into account the posture of the Yellow Valley and becoming a family of his own. Although he doesn't write couplets himself, he likes to write couplets. According to friends, he often writes couplets with the following pairs:
Ke Qiao came out with rain.
Fishing boats used to be water plants and wind.
This couplet is a collection of previous Tang poems.
Shiquan hualin huangzijiu
Lilacs in gallbladder flowers.
Huang Zijiu was a painter in the Yuan Dynasty, and his words were well known. According to a friend of Zhang Daqian, "This couplet is about what Mr. Daqian saw hanging at home when he was a child. The original text is: the fist stone is idle, and Huang Zijiu is in the face; Lilacs are inserted obliquely in the bottle. After Mr. Zhang Daqian changed his words, he saw more spirit and neatness. "
Christie's name is often hung up.
I don't care about food and clothing all my life
This couplet is a gift from Ba Li to Zhang Daqian. Ba Li, a Fujian native, is a poet and one of the founders of the Commercial Press. This couplet vividly depicts Zhang Daqian's life.
Zhang Daqian often writes couplets, and:
The tree in front of the court is older than me.
The sky is sinking and the sun is red.
This couplet is a collection of previous Song poems. The original is hung in Suzhou Netscape Garden.
Stand firm and do not follow the customs.
We should compete with the ancients in the right place.
According to a friend of Zhang Daqian's, "When Mr. Daqian was twenty-six, he collected He Zizhen's solo book Zhang Hei Nvzhi in Weibei and compiled it into a book. This is one of them. " This couplet is about being a man. Although it is only a few words, it is full of philosophy.
Although Zhang Daqian does not create couplets, he has seen a set of couplets written by him in publications (photographed by Taipei International Photography Society). This couplet is as follows:
Live, add meals and watch wine over and over again;
People are old and happy yesterday. This is a long life.
This couplet is a collection of words by Huang and Xin Jiaxuan in Song Dynasty. Dueling is quite diligent and charming. Is this Zhang Daqian's "self-discipline" in his later years? Although the definite sentence "expresses others", it also contains the "creation" of the author of the definite sentence. For example, Liang Rengong has collected hundreds of couplets of Song Ci, many of which are well-known works.
