Founded in 1925, the Palace Museum currently houses 1863404 collections, including 53,131 paintings. Everyone also knows that although some emperors in the feudal dynasty did not pay attention to the government, they were very exquisite in all aspects such as poetry and song, painting, and carpentry.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of song was so intoxicated with painting that he even used his imperial power to promote painting; Zhu Zhanji, the Xuande Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was also good at painting and often rewarded his paintings to his ministers, but the most peculiar painting in the Forbidden City was Zhu Jianshen's "A Group of Harmony Maps".
Zhu Jianshen's mental journey from becoming a prince to becoming an emperor was quite complicated, mainly because he still had an unreliable father, Zhu Jianshen's father, Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen, favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, and resolutely pro-conquest despite the opposition of his subjects, and made zhu Mishen, who was two years old at the time, as a crown prince, and as a result, he was captured and became a chip for Vala.
The Ming Dynasty was also a hard bone, did not agree to the conditions of The Wallachians, Yu Qian was ordered to sit in Beijing, and supported Zhu Qiyu as emperor, the shaky Ming Dynasty was stable again, and Zhu Qizhen was placed under house arrest after being released back to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu deposed the crown prince Zhu Jianshen in the third year of Jingtai.
However, after the change of the gate, Zhu Qizhen once again declared himself emperor and executed Yu Qian, and the civil and military officials recommended by Yu Qian before his death were affected, and the eunuchs led by Cao Jixiang gradually gained power, but Zhu Jianshen was once again made crown prince.
In 1464, Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, but the prince was not good, the emperor was not good, but Zhu Jianshen also had some merits during his reign, and although his literary style was not specifically mentioned in historical documents, his surviving paintings became fine works.
"A Tuan He Qi Tu" was created in the second year of Zhu Mishen's ascension to the throne, when Zhu Mishen was eighteen years old, the painting was really wonderful, from a distance it was a smiling, round and rolling person, and up close it was three people, on the left was an old man wearing a Taoist crown, on the right was a Confucian wearing a square scarf, and there was another person, with his hands on the shoulders of the left and right, hand twisting Buddha beads, a person in Buddhism.
The painting is based on the Buddhist legend "Tiger Creek Three Laughs", according to legend, Donglin Temple once lived a high monk Hui Yuan, every time to send a guest is not a stream, one day Tao Yuanming and Taoist Lu Xiujing came to visit, because the three people talked very happily, Hui Yuan sent guests unconsciously across the creek, when there was a tiger trumpet, Hui Yuan reacted, but the three people still laughed and said goodbye.
Later, someone built the Three Laughing Pavilion here, and Tang Ying, a Qing Dynasty man, wrote a couplet in the Three Laughing Pavilion:
Bridge across Tiger Creek, three religions and three streams, three people and three laughing words;
Lotus blossoms in the monk's house, a flower is a world, and a leaf is the same.
Although the story of "Three Laughs of Tiger Creek" is a legend, but successive generations of painters have loved to paint with it, Li Gonglin during the Northern Song Dynasty painted the "Three Laughing Figures", Yan Hui in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, Guo Xue, Wu Wei, Zhou Chen and others in the Ming Dynasty have all painted the "Three Laughing Pictures", but usually paint the scene of a monk and a Confucian separated.
Although Zhu Jianshen also used this theme to make pictures, but the three people are huddled together, there is a charm, some experts explained that Zhu Jianshen made this picture, is to warn the unity and harmony of the group, everyone is one, should make progress together.
The imperial palace and the imperial court are not a place for Zhu Jianshen to live, but Zhu Jianshen was born in the imperial palace, became a prince, and became the emperor, this step was voluntary by him, or he was pushed to go, it is unknown, but when he first became emperor, Zhu Jianshen must also have some ambition, and he also hopes that the imperial court will unite and strengthen the Ming Dynasty.
However, there are still people with different views, the palace is sinister, the emperor is not the head of elm, the court is only superficially harmonious, in fact, the knife is hidden in laughter, they open the scripture scroll, the head is in the direction of the middle of the person's ear, it seems to be a whisper, so there are also netizens commenting: This painting can not be seen for too long.
