The people of Nanzhuang finally saw the "alive" Luo Wenjun. Yesterday, cultural relic appraisal experts discovered in Nanzhuang the authentic work of Luo Wenjun, a Jinshi during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty - a handwritten second couplet. Previously, people in Nanzhuang only knew the anecdotes and preserved former residence of this famous fellow villager.
The couplets are actually authentic works of Tanhua
Yesterday morning, Mr. Kong, who lives in Xiqiao, sent several couplets and wanted experts to "take a look". Huang Yubing, director of the Chancheng District Museum, and Zhang Jiaguang, an expert on cultural relics, gently opened a piece of paper. On the slightly darkened light red rice paper, the seven characters "sitting alone can make the painting deeper" were displayed one by one in front of people's eyes. , there are also the words "Luocun Luo Wenjun" in the lower left corner, and the seals of "Luo Wenjun" and "Renwu Tanhua".
"This is true. The seal cannot be faked." Experts said that according to the seal, the author Luo Wenjun should be the top scorer in the Enke examination during the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty.
Mr. Kong said that Luo Wenjun was from Nanzhuang Village, Nanzhuang Town, and this was his first time to bring the couplets here to let the local people know. Deshu, the local official of Nanzhuang Town, also said that Luo Wenjun was ranked as a Jinshi of Tanhua High School in the Enke Examination in the second year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1822). Later, he served in academic administration positions in Shanxi, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, with the highest official title being Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry. , equivalent to the current deputy minister.
Multiple calligraphy and paintings in exchange for couplets
“In order to get this calligraphy and painting, I paid a pretty high price.” Mr. Kong said that the year before last, a friend of his in Chancheng I saw this second couplet there, so I replaced it with a couplet and two fan paintings by Wu Rongguang, and reframed it. "I am from Nanzhuang, and Luo Wenjun is also from Nanzhuang, and has a deep connection with the Kong family." Mr. Kong said that Luo Wenjun's sister once married into the Kong family, and Luo Wenjun also studied in the Kong family private school and passed the exam. Fame.
“I will not sell this half of the couplets, nor will I exchange them.” Mr. Kong said that he likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, and there is a plaque framed by Luo Wenjun’s calligraphy and paintings at home, although he does it from time to time. He would exchange his collection of calligraphy and paintings with others, but he would definitely keep Luo Wenjun's things.
The former residence of the author of the couplet still exists
Mr. Kong said that as far as he knows, Luo Wenjun’s immediate family members now live in Guangzhou or Hong Kong, and his ancestral home still exists today. Still relatively well preserved. In the eight lanes of Nanzhuang Village, reporters and experts found the former residence of Luo Wenjun. "Here are Luo Wenjun's former residence, study room, and his brother's former residence." Villager Luo Fuying claimed to be a descendant of the Luo family and became a "tour guide."
I saw two ancient blue-brick houses standing on both sides of the alley. The appearance of the ancient objects is quite well preserved. The reporter pushed open the door of Luo Wenjun's former residence. The walls inside were inlaid with brick tones and looked very delicate. There were some sundries piled up in the foyer and in the room.
"During the '/Cultural/Revolution/', Luo Wenjun's former residence was divided between two other families and has been idle in recent years." Under the leadership of Luo Fuying, reporters and experts are still visiting the Luo family home A flagpole stone was found in front of the temple, which recorded the details of Luo Wenjun's high school Jinshi status.
