Original text:
Jiang Caojun is a descendant of Cao Cao's descendants, but now he is reduced to a poor family.
The era of heroic separatism is gone forever, and Cao Jiawen's chapter is still in your hands.
In calligraphy, your first master, Mrs. Wei, just didn't surpass it.
Indulge in painting, you know that the age of youth is coming. In fact, wealth and status are like clouds floating away to me.
During the Kaiyuan period, you were often summoned by Tang Gaozong, and you were guaranteed to board the southern tour many times.
The hero portrait of Lingyan Pavilion has faded, and Jiang Caojun can't brush away the repainted face.
The head wears a Jinshi crown, and the warrior wears a big feather arrow on his waist.
Male and female hair seems to be shaking, and they seem to be fighting in fierce battles.
In Kaiyuan, the name of Tianma of the late emperor was Jade Flower Cluster, and many painters painted it differently from the original one.
On that day, the jade flower was taken into the temple, and the red rank was erected at the palace gate to increase its prestige.
The emperor ordered you to unfold silk and prepare for painting, and you showed your intelligence and hard work in poor management.
After a while, the dragon horse appeared on silk, which was much more mediocre than all generations of horses.
If a real horse falls on the emperor's bed, the picture of the horse's bed is the same as the rank of standing in front of the real horse.
The emperor smiled and urged the left and right to give you gold, and the servant and the groom were all stunned.
Han Gan, a student of the general, can draw a horse and has many good images.
Han Gan's painting shows no inner spirit, which often kills Liu Hua's horse of life.
The general's painting is beautiful, and the beauty lies in the painting. They are only willing to write a portrait for him.
Now you are wandering in this war-torn society, and ordinary paintings are ordinary passers-by.
In your later years, you suffered from the eyes of the world, and no one in the world was so extremely poor as you.
From the earliest time, I have been reading records all day? ? Wrapped around him.
Translation:
General Cao is a descendant of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, but now he has become a poor man in Shu Ren. The era of heroic separatism is gone forever, but Cao's style is still there. In order to learn calligraphy, you should learn from Mrs. Wei first. You are only more annoying than General Wang Xizhi. You have been specializing in painting all your life. You don't know that you are getting old, but prosperity is like a cloud in the sky for you.
During the Kaiyuan period, you were often summoned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Thanks to your kindness, you have boarded Nanxun Hall many times. The heroic portrait of Lingyange has faded over the years, and General Cao's paintings are new. Good people wear the crown of entering Germany, while brave men wear big feather arrows around their waists. Zannan and Hubei men's hair seems to be shaking, as if they were playing hard.
In the early years of Kaiyuan, the Tianma of the first emperor was called Yuhuaqi, and many painters painted it differently. On the same day, Yuhuaqi was led to the red steps in the temple and stood tall at the palace gate, which greatly increased its prestige. The emperor ordered you to unfold the silk script and prepare for painting. You are smart and depressed, and you work hard. In a blink of an eye, the dragon horse appeared on the silk in nine days, and Wandai horse was mediocre at once.
The picture of jade flower is like a real horse lying on the emperor's couch, and the picture of a real horse standing in front of the steps on the couch is the same. The emperor smiled and urged the left and right to give you gold, and all the servants and hostess were confused and at a loss. Han Gan, the general's favorite pupil, learned painting skills very early. He can also draw horses and has many extraordinary images. Han Gan's paintings only paint the exterior, but not the inner spirit, which often makes Ai Hua's good horse depressed.
The general's paintings are exquisite and beautiful, with charm in them. Only a real celebrity would write a photo for him. Now wandering in a war-torn society, I usually paint ordinary pedestrians. In your later years, you will be exposed to the worldly eyes. No one in the world has ever been so poor as you. Look at those people who have always been famous, and finally they are obsessed with their ups and downs.
Extended data:
Cao Ba was a famous horse painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion, he was down and out. In the second year of Tang Daizong Guangde (764), Du Fu met him in Chengdu and was very sympathetic to his experience. He wrote this poem "Dan Qing Yin".
Poetry is refined and desolate. First of all, Cao Ba is Wei Wudi and Cao Cao. Now they have been sacked and become ordinary people. Then, write a pen to praise Cao Ba's ancestors. Although Cao Cao's performance in the Central Plains is a thing of the past; However, his poetic artistic attainments are superb, and his words and sentences are beautiful and lingering in the wind, which still exists today. The first four sentences are full of ups and downs, ups and downs, and full of examples. Wang Shizhen, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, appreciated it very much and called it "the beginning of the work" (Yu Yang's poetry talk)
Then write Cao Ba's inheritance, enterprising spirit, hardworking attitude and noble sentiment in painting and calligraphy. At first, Cao Ba studied the calligraphy of Mrs. Wei in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He wrote a good hand, but he only wished that he could not surpass Wang Xizhi. He was immersed in the art of painting all his life and didn't know that he was getting old. His sentiment is noble, he does not advocate honor and profit, and he regards fame and fortune as a cloud in the sky. The poet's pen posture is flexible, and the sentence "learning books" is only accompanied by a pen, deliberately released; The title "Danqing" is the correct meaning. It is written in a clear order of priority, cadence and patchwork.
This poem should be read together with the previous poem, which complement each other. Poetry is refined and desolate. Cao Shi was first Wei Wu, and now it is Shu Ren. Then words of praise for the achievements and richness of their ancestors still exist. There are ups and downs, ups and downs.
Then write about Cao Shi's diligence and enterprising in painting and calligraphy, and his noble sentiments. I have been immersed in Dan Qing all my life, not thinking about wealth, and I don't know that old age is coming. Writing "learning books" is a foil, and writing "Danqing" is a point. Priorities, cadence, strewn at random. Eight sentences in Kaiyuan praised the achievements of Cao Shi's figure painting.
