1 By chance, Mr. Zhao saw a man selling waste products, and one of the picture books was different, so he bought the picture book at a very low price. Finally, it was found to be an original Dong Qichang, which was priceless. Dong Qichang was a painter and calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, and also a great official at that time. 1633, Dong Qichang even became an official with Prince Taibao. He was originally from Songjiang, and his talent was outstanding.
His paintings and calligraphy are so famous that even Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty loved his works very much. 1572, 17-year-old Dong Qichang began to study calligraphy hard, starting with the pagoda. Hard work is good. 1 people can have no talent, but work hard. Dong Qichang was brilliant, and he spent a lot of sweat, so his calligraphy reached a high level. His three works Yuefu, Nineteen Ancient Poems and Preface to Liu Gongquan Lanting Collection are praised by later generations.
Dong Qichang's paintings are also very distinctive. His four masterpieces, Jia Xuan Shan Shui, Lan Rong Chuan Cai Tu, Guan Shan Xue Ji Tu and Zhou Jintang Tu, represent the peak level of Dong Qichang. Even today in 2020, his paintings will attract many people's attention even if they are exhibited abroad. However, the name Dong Qichang is not very famous in history.
It stands to reason that calligraphy is excellent and painting is powerful. Such a person should be known as Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan and other big shots, but why does he have no sense of existence? It turns out that this has something to do with his personality. According to Ming History, Dong Qichang's life experience is a little inferior. 1589 entered the Jinshi and started his career. Later, his official became bigger and bigger, and at the same time he ran amok in his hometown.
It seems that bullying men and women is the routine operation of these people, and Dong Qichang is no exception: he robbed Hu Xian's deputy sister, often raped young girls, and sent someone to rob Lu Ying, the maid of the students; Occupy the neighbor's land. 16 15, Qian Er told a ballad about Dong Qichang's occupation of commoners in the street, and Fan Tingzhi sat and listened. Later, Dong Qichang and his son found out and directly persecuted Fan to death.
Later, Fan Jia came to discuss the argument, and the result was also beaten and scolded. The unkind Dong Qichang almost offended Songjiang people, and the local government dared not take care of it, which caused public anger. Later, the people United to besiege Dongfu, and the two sides had a fight.
Angry people directly tore down Dong Jia's tiles, and later even directly burned Dong Fu. Dong Jia couldn't beat the excited people, so he had to move and hide. Objectively speaking, Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting attainments are very high, but there are problems in his life. Now his cemetery is in Yuyang Mountain, Xukou Town, Suzhou.
