Text/Lu Xiuhui
Chen Hongshou (1768-1822), courtesy name Zigong, was a native of Qiantang (present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang).
Chen Hongshou is very famous in contemporary times, not with his poetry and painting prints, but with his "Mansheng pot" ~ purple sand pot and today's great movement.
Chen Hongshou's grandfather, Chen Shipan, was an erudite scholar of hongzi in the middle of the Qianlong dynasty and entered Hanlin. The official went to the prefect of Ruizhou, Jiangxi, and died at the official level. Chen Shipan was honest in government, with a clean wind on his sleeves, "on the day of the official's death, he could hardly return to the funeral." When Chen Shipan died, Chen Hongshou's father, Chen Jingfang, was twelve years old. Since then, the family business has been sluggish.
After Chen Jing was frustrated by the scientific expedition, he traveled in all directions and made a living from the curtain, two to Yan and one to Dian. In his later years, he was tired of traveling, returned to Qiantang to teach his grandchildren at home, and entertained himself with calligraphy and painting. He is the author of six volumes of "Surin's Poetry Collection" and "Genealogical Compendium". Chen Jing had two marriages and three sons, Chen Hongshou was Chen Jing's eldest son, born to the original wife Xu Shi. Chen Hongshou,"Song Zigongtang Hou ShuangguBai", Shiyun:
The jade pond double tong is nearly 100 feet, and the ancient vines on the roof are hanging for thousands of years.
Xi asked Feng Zen from Tai Dai and grabbed the dragon and tiger pan wind smoke.
There was no one in the empty hall, and the cranes in the middle of the night were weeping.
The white geese flew back for five hundred years, and the two rows of green were wet.
One plant is slightly hollow, and one plant refuses to fall.
Scattered from the trivial, yanchi scattered incense.
The inscription is Yuanji XiningDai, and the old friends of Dongpo are clearly there.
Yuntian hand commanded the Baoning Army, Yuan Chang Lou Gao Bishan pair.
Chen Hongshou grew up poor, his father wandered outside, and the income of the curtain could not be determined, and he lived on the rewards of the main family. The master and eunuch are smooth, the economy of the official office is rich, and the income of the staff is naturally better. Apparently, the father did not bring about a change financially. When Chen Hongshou was fifteen years old, his mother died, and the teenager grew up overnight. So he came out early to do things. The pressure of his family made him precocious, and he had to pick up the burden. He made a living as a secretary to the shogunate, and although he was young, he was extremely intelligent, and his colleagues and nobles did not despise him, but on the contrary valued his talent. His residence at that time was very simple, and his friends who came from other places and friends who passed through Hangzhou all visited the door, in order to receive them well and not disappoint these friends, he often relied on loans to socialize with friends.
Ruan Yuan, after his career, was extremely friendly to the scribes and took pleasure in helping them. In October of the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), Ruan Yuan's inspector of Zhejiang invited Chen Hongshou to join his staff. At that time, piracy was rampant along the southeast coast, and there was "collusion between coastal bandits". After Ruan Yuan took office, he decided to crack down on pirates, "shipbuilding cannons", "training land divisions", "Du Jieji", and all measures at the same time. Chen Hongshou followed Ruan Yuan's light car back and forth, inspected the field of haijiang, planned coastal defense, and participated in the drafting of the document, so that "a hundred letters were immediately established". The Nguyen Yuan shogunate was basically one of the top figures among Chinese intellectuals at that time, and in such a circle, Chen Hongshou was called "out of reach by the crowd", which showed its strength. Chen Hongshou did not follow Ruan Yuan for a long time, Ruan Yuan's visit to the monument, as well as the study of Jinshi calligraphy and painting, Chen Hongshou was highly involved. Ruan Yuan had a great influence on Chen Hongshou at this time, and Chen Hongshou benefited a lot from Ruan Yuan. In the seventh year of Jiaqing, the thirty-five-year-old Chen Hongshou went to the capital as a tribute to participate in the election of officials, and he was selected by Yizhi County to distribute Guangdong candidates. During this time, Chen Hongshou traveled back and forth between Guangdong and Zhejiang, waiting for the other and continuing to work in the Ruan Yuan curtain. Chen Hongshou,Ge Ling Huaigu, Shi Yun:
The twelfth floor of the bright moon fragrant wind, Pingzhang Lake on the sentence stay.
Half of the time did not allow the immortals to occupy, and after the music he knew that the general was worried.
The sound of crickets is proud of the grass, and the ghost car cries out the kapok autumn.
Fuhua looked like a dream, and the flowing peach blossoms were worried.
When Chen Hongshou was thirty-eight years old, his father died, and he was sad and mournful. After the funeral, Ruan Yuan helped him stay in Jiangnan and sign Ganyu County, which was later supplemented as Liyang County. In the same year, Ruan Yuan himself was also because of the death of his father and returned to Yangzhou to worry. When Chen Hongshou was in Ganyu County (now part of Lianyungang, Jiangsu), he cracked down on smuggling salt lords and banned the private salt trade; he built large and small bridges widely, and there was also a political voice for the management of rivers. At that time, the Dasha River in Ganyu County was congested during the flood, and the water overflowed and flooded the fields and villages. Chen Hongshou first donated money to the local rich, set a limit on the time of dredging, cleared the river, and lifted the flood. When he was in Liyang County, he was not greedy or corrupt, and he was known for his political voice.
Chen Hongshou liked to roam all his life, traversing Yanqi Chuyue, and Qiantang was a resort in his heart, which made him write many famous articles. His "Sanglian LiGuan", the wine banquet and the piano song, the high friends are full of seats, and the poetry and painting are desirable. He left an inscription on a purple clay pot: "The tea is ripe, the chrysanthemum is opening, the autumn people, can't come." "It was the victory at the time. Chen Hongshou was very capable and had experience working in the shogunate, so he was mature and sophisticated as an official, and was good at dealing with various complex problems. Unfortunately, he has been serving as an official at the grassroots level, and the biggest official position is Haiphong Tongzhi, from Liupin. In his lifetime, he did not give him the opportunity to develop his political ambitions. In the second year of Daoguang, he died of wind and illness at the age of fifty. He is the author of "Seed Yu Xian Guan Imitation Seal", "Seed Yu Xian Guan Seal", "Seed Yu Xian Guan Poetry Collection", "Sang Lian Li Guan Collection". Chen Hongshou's "Plugged Song", Shi Yun:
One
White bone green phosphorus Han sea head, pipa a song of side sorrow.
Tears dripped in front of his eyes, and flowed under the Yellow River.
Second
The bow bent and thunderbolt shot the celestial fox, startling the double eagles and shouting.
General Hu saw jealousy, and Ling Yan had seen several figures.
Chen Hongshou is an artistic generalist, and he can afford to print all kinds of poetry and paintings. In addition to Jinshi calligraphy and painting, he is also most famous for designing purple sand pots, and is the leader of the second generation of purple sand pot masters in China. Chen Hongshou advocated the innovation of pot making, believing that "poetry, calligraphy and painting do not have to be very home", and it is necessary to get "natural fun". His proposition, combined with purple sand pottery, is highly sought after by both producers and admirers. He pinned his poetry and paintings on a purple sand pot, used a bamboo knife as a pen, inscribed poems, and rubbed his chest. Sculpting and painting, catching up with great beauty. He cooperated with the production master Yang Pengnian to improvise the design of many novel styles of purple sand pots, breaking the pattern of purple sand pots being confined by craftsmen, bringing vitality to the development and innovation of purple sand pots. The purple sand pot he designed and made by Yang Pengnian was called "Mansheng pot" by posterity. Chen Hongshou gave purple sand pottery a literati color, which had a huge impact on future generations. He cooperated with Yang Pengnian, and the inscription by him or his friend, on the handle and bottom of the pot, there is a "Peng Nian" seal, or "Amanda Room" print, are "Mansheng pot".
Chen Hongshou was very successful in art, widely involved, extremely accomplished, his seal carvings in and out of the Qin and Han Dynasties, one of the famous "Eight Houses of Xiling". His calligraphy is long in line, grass, seal, and subordination. The book is steep and elegant, the book is open and horizontal, and there is a unique Qing dynasty; he is also good at bamboo carving; painting is good at landscapes, flowers, and orchid bamboo. Between Yao Shou and Cheng Xuan in the Ming Dynasty, the flower Orchid Bamboo Learned Chen Daofu and Li Kun, and opened up a new face, which was a pioneer of Zhao Zhiqian. Erudite can poetry, but also can write. At that time, the trend of examination was prevalent, and specialized disciplines such as exegesis, writing, goldstone, and phonology were developed in a breakthrough, and Chen Hongshou practiced it in the study of epigraphy. His artistic aesthetic pursuit is simple and natural, and his affection is sincere. Among his various arts, seal engraving was the most famous at that time. His seal carvings went in and out of the Qin and Han Dynasties, next to Ding Jing, Huang Yi and others, the printing pen was folded, the knife was bold, natural and casual, the edges were revealed, the ancient clumsiness was arbitrary, and the sky was thick, for a generation of everyone.
His calligraphy is best known for his calligraphy and calligraphy. His Lishu extensively studied Han tablets and drew nourishment from the stone carvings of HanMo Cliff, so the golden stone atmosphere was very strong. The strokes are round and strong, such as silver painting iron hooks, the artistic conception is sparse and simple, the majestic porcelain is wild, and the strange old and spicy. Compared with the previous lishu, it has the characteristics of "crazy monster". Keep the ancient with the pen, and penetrate the back of the paper. The rules are interspersed with concessions, and they are interesting. The orthography is clear and elegant, and the knot is free. Qian Du's student Jiang Baoling said in "The Present Words of Merlin": "Mansheng is cool to love the Moya tablet, and the ancient and elegant practice has a degree of law, and the seal engraving is more knowledgeable." Strict and ancient, no one can match."
Chen Hongshou's seal side creation, a variety of book styles, his book side, if the seal is attached, interesting. Chen Hongshou is a generalist, and the appreciation of his side money must be from a "holistic" perspective. "Thirty Trees of Plum Blossoms Around the House" is a party idle chapter carved by Chen Hongshou for Lin Xiaoxi when he was 34 years old. There are two side paragraphs on it, one of which is self-made: "The second brother of Xiaoxi is a Yan Immortal, the neighbor of the East Pavilion, horizontal and shallow, shadow thin and slender, floating dusk, fragrant and distant dreams." Qiu Qianxi Jiu is the picture, and more beggar Sun Lang seal sentence. After the thirty trees plum blossoms, when the spring water rises with the Jun Riding Crane Yangzhou, the Twelve Bridges also blows the lonely island together. Xin Youyi ten and one month, Man Sheng Ji and the system. "The side section of the letter, the style of a Jin and Tang Dynasty, like a pen and paper, is very elegant." Although this square seal was made by Chen Hongshou for Lin Xiaoxi, there was also his own love for plum blossoms. In addition to carving plums, Chen Hongshou also painted plums, carved bamboo plums, and composed plum blossom poems.
63 years later, due to coincidence, this seal flowed into the hands of Yin Xuan, Wu Rangzhi was fortunate to see it, overjoyed, and couldn't help but pick up the carving knife to make up for it, which was a groundbreaking thing for Wu Rangzhi, who did not love the signature of the seal! It is precisely because Wu Rangzhi liked it once every 63 years at this time that this square seal shines again, and there is a second side paragraph. Wu Rangzhi carved: "Lin Xiaoxi is also a character Ji Xuan, for Yin Xuan's father- This is a masterpiece of Chen Gong, so Yin Weng is particularly important. Koshi Mid-Spring let the view, for the record. "Literati style and elegance is like this, the road to the itch is can't help it, Wu Rangzhi is a really elegant and interesting person."
Lu Xiuhui has a song "Song for Chen Hongshou Mansheng", a poem cloud:
The great talent is proud of Confucianism, and the evil little is jealous and handsome.
The good and the bad know the good, and the wind laughs and leaves.
Fei Zhao degrades the vulgar dust, and the liturgy honors Hongsuo.
Beaded curtain curtain guest, a song of intestines broken.
The journey is running away, and the breeze is cold.
The wind is wildly falling, and the inscription poems fly the stars.
The arts can not be idle, visit the old monster.
Love the Mansheng pot the most, feel free to wash the dirty dirt.
Calligraphy and painting are elegant, and the pot print is benevolent and thick.
The plum is gushing, and the fragrance is waiting for the cold section.
As the saying goes, I only treat good friends.
