This couplet by Mr. Zhang Yongle reminds me deeply of Mr. Zhang, and at the same time pays attention to his ethereal and unique official script, which is wonderful.
There is another story in this couplet, which goes like this: When the first Lanting Prize was awarded in Qingdao, Shandong Province, Zhang Yongle was eager to win the prize, and in order to seek novelty, he specially wrote several variants. The judges deducted his points and only won the nomination prize. It's time for him to smile at the nomination award. But Zhang Yongle thinks.
Being wronged, I went to the seaside to see the sea and listen to the waves. I touched the scenery and said with emotion, "It doesn't matter if you look at the sea, bring me wine!" " I blurted it out and wrote a couplet that day to express my feelings. Two years later, in 2004, the 8th National Calligraphy Exhibition was held in Xi 'an, Shaanxi, and Zhang Yongle seal cutting entered the exhibition. But his couplets caused a sensation in the side exhibition of the national exhibition. Talking and laughing, taking a group photo as a souvenir, is a story for a while. Later this couplet was collected by a collector. Zhang Yongle, then Deputy Secretary-General of Shangqiu Municipal People's Government, suddenly received a phone call from the collector: I want another such couplet to hang at home! Zhang Yongle was busy with official business, and more than a month passed unconsciously. The collector of Shangqiu suddenly appeared in front of him, and he proudly searched for the same treasure that night.
