The first lecture of the opening chapter, to give you a little fancy,
Today, let's talk about the famous painting of the man's hairpin flower
- "Sheng'an Hairpin Flower Diagram"
Let's start with this seemingly insane man.
Today,
This type of man with flowers on his head
Most are considered to be ineoperable.
But in the Song Dynasty,
But it is very likely that he is a gentleman.
In the Song Dynasty, the hairpin flower became a common social custom.
From the emperor down to the commoners,
Small flowers on the top of the head.
The earliest record of the man's hairpin flower appeared in the Tang Dynasty,
Reached its highest peak in history during the Song Dynasty,
The wind of the hairpin flowers overwhelms the woman.
According to statistics,
The number of works depicting the male hairpin flower in the Quan Song Ci
It is 5 times the size of the depiction of a woman's hairpin flower.
The story of the four-phase hairpin flower also took place in the Song Dynasty.
Han Qi, Wang Jue, Wang Anshi, and Chen Shengzhi had once had peony medicine,
Later, all four became prime ministers.
The Buddha statue cannot escape the fate of the hairpin flower.

Why is it so fierce?
You're a man who only gave you flowers, okay?
Men have a rich variety of flowers,
There are roses, hibiscus flowers, roses, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms,
Tang pear, jasmine, peony, chrysanthemum and other styles.
Either seasonal flowers, or fake flowers.
Pushing the hairpin flower fashion to the extreme is Song Huizong,
Every time he traveled back to the palace,
All are "wrapped in small hats, hairpin flowers, riding horses",
The courtiers and guards from the driver also gave flowers to wear.
From a distance, it looks like a cloud floating.
By the Ming Dynasty, although the court still followed the ancient system, it had been simplified and simplified.
Except for the new recruits who have a hairpin flower ceremony, men almost no longer have hairpin flowers.
Although you can't witness the ancient man's blossom scene,
But there was such a painter in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Hongshou,
The image of a hairpin flower is common in his paintings.
The Palace Museum has such a piece.

The man with the hairpin flower in the painting is named Yang Shen,
The famous phrase "rolling water in the east of the Yangtze River" comes from this old man.
"Sheng'an" is his number, so this painting is called "Sheng'an Hairpin Flower Diagram".
In the third year of Jiajing, Yang Shen was demoted to Yunnan for "great etiquette".
However, the Jiajing Emperor was always uneasy and repeatedly asked Yang Shen about his recent situation.
Only to hear "old disease" is to be slightly relieved.
Yang Shen, who learned of this,
The mood is particularly depressed, and the behavior is becoming more and more debauched.
The Chronicle of Lefu records about Yang Shen:
"In the spare time, the red and pink noodles are arranged, and the flowers are arranged in a double bun, so that the prostitutes can support the parade, and it is not ashamed."
This work was painted by Chen Hongshou in 1637 based on this story.
It is the most famous work in Chen Hongshou's man's hairpin flower diagram.
In the painting, Yang Shen is dressed in a wide robe and flowers,
Drunkenly striding forward.
Two ladies followed,
One of them crossed his arms and held a lupine.
The other held a bowl in both hands.
An ancient tree branch is broken and sparsely dotted with autumn leaves.
The tree stone brushwork is simple and vigorous, and the ink color is moist.
Chen Hongshou exaggerated,
The behavior of Yang Shen's wandering skeleton, the stubborn and uninhibited wind bone,
It's on full display.
Although Chen Hongshou and Yang Shen never intersected.
But two people under the same big time,
Maybe there's something connected.
In this "Yang Sheng'an Hairpin Flower Diagram",
What Chen Hongshou wants to show is not Yang Shen under extreme repression.
Rather, it is a life that blooms in repression.
Life is unpredictable,
No matter what situation you face,
We should all remain open-minded about life.
Okay, that's it for today.

Tomorrow the wonderful continues...
