A collection of gossip essays written by the famous calligrapher Zhu Yunming (zhu Zhishan, one of the "four great talents of Jiangnan"), the Chronicle of the Nine Dynasties, once described a picture: "Emperor Wen summoned the Sheng Imperial Physician Yin to the Ben Hall and made the pulse cut. Sheng paused and waited, and sang Yun: "After the Holy Love Party is angry, the pulse is imperceptible." Shang yue: "The anger of the moment is also shaped in the pulse ear, rucheng clever hand." He also said: "Sheng beard I sued Ru, before Mu Xinjin two little girls, quite able to sing, I often make it sing every meal." After a long time, he knew that he had been killed with a copper vertebrae. The little princess saw me and threw herself into her arms, and I was caressed. Shao Qing heard his crying and asked, is it the canal that hits the copper vertebrae, can the little daughter win the yes? There is such a person, I am very angry, I do not feel a few elbows, and I still can't calm down. "Sheng prostrated his head and advised Chen repeatedly, but it was already there. The upper language is Ren Xiaoye.
The content is to the effect that Princess Changning, the precious daughter of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, was abused by Mu Xin. So does Donkey Mu Xin really dare to beat the princess? A closer look reveals that this story is mostly made up.
Although Zhu Yunming was born smart, his career was not smooth, he did not win the jinshi examination seven times, and he was the biggest official who was the general judge of the Tianfu, and he could not enter the power center of the capital in this life. Therefore, most of the royal secrets he wrote were hearsay, drunken jokes, and their credibility was not high. It is only Zhu Yunming's talent that is famous in the world, and the slow spread of fermentation makes people mistakenly think it is true. Although beating people is not true, this horse master's learning is true, and his calligraphy is not shallow.
Mu Xin, the fifth son of Mu Ying the Marquis of Xiping, married Princess Changning, the daughter of Zhu Di, in the first year of Yongle (1403). In July of the tenth year of Yongle (1412), Mu Xin was ordered to build the Wudang Mountain Palace and inscribed a plaque. Mu Xin experienced the five dynasties of Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, and Jingtai, and was a noble relative of the Ming Dynasty.
Mu Xin was deeply valued by Ming Chengzu, and his calligraphy is preserved in the collection of the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum. This inscription is graceful and elegant, stretched generously, dexterous with pen, independent in characters, and natural in chapters, which is a masterpiece!
