Tiger leaping new year, Danqing new year. In the Year of the Tiger, you can't help but mention Zhang Shanxiao.

Zhang Shanxiao, a famous tiger painting master, self-proclaimed "tiger idiot", the world respects "tiger gong", is also Zhang Daqian's second brother, once raised a tiger for painting a tiger, and the tiger day and night, sleeping in the same room, not only achieved a good story of "people and tigers get along", but also the tiger in his pen is pure and realistic, not only does not lose the mighty tiger, but also contains a kind of psychic human pulse warmth.

In fact, Zhang Daqian's painting skills and fame are above Zhang Shanxiao, but he rarely paints tigers, and the reason is that he is originally to repay the grace of his second brother's cultivation and let his second brother be unique in his beauty. The blood behind this is deeply moving. Later, the two of them jointly founded the Dafeng Hall Studio and opened the hall to teach apprentices.

Gao Wei, the fourth generation of the "Dafengtang" painting tiger, is even more adhering to the wind bone of the Dafengtang painting tiger. Look at one of Mr. Gao's blessing pictures of "Everything is As Expected", a leisurely walking tiger, a jumping and cheerful child with a bun, a lotus-like little arm and leg, holding a red persimmon in his hand, wearing a red belly pocket, pedaling red tiger shoes, it seems to be pouring out his inner happiness with the tiger, the tiger listens with his ears, a well-behaved pet appearance, behind him, is a cluster of chrysanthemums that bloom just right. The whole picture is elegant, warm, quiet, broad and meticulous, making people think of childhood, think of hometown, think of relatives, and those long and trivial past left in the wind.

In childhood, almost all the children in the village wore tiger head shoes, not only the soles were wide, the children could stand steadily, but more importantly, everyone firmly believed that the tiger was the king of the hundred beasts, a symbol of majesty, bravery and honor, and that the children who wore tiger head shoes would be deaf and discerning, auspicious, blessed, and safe in the future. It's just that it's very complicated. From wearing clothes to wide soles, making uppers, embroidering, tiger eyes, tiger mouths, tiger ears, tiger tails, a stitch and a thread have lengthened the blessings and wishes of relatives, and gathered the dexterous minds and endless sweat of relatives.

Every New Year's Day, or on the evening of the agricultural leisure season, the village either sings flower drums or sings the yangqin. Before the official opening of the Yangqin, it often takes a small section, including "Tiger Learning Art": "The sun is ten thousand feet high, falling on the West Mountain White Horse Bridge, there is an old willow tree in the east of the bridge, the tree has a deep root and grows firmly, the gentleman who walks pulls a hand, and a branch moves a hundred branches." The tiger followed the tanuki cat to learn the art, the bold tanuki cat taught the tiger, jumped the mountain and jumped the stream, the tiger was born to eat the tanuki cat, the tanuki cat saw that things were not good, even the band jumped on the treetops, the tiger pounced on the ground, called the master you listen, jumping the mountain and jumping the stream all learned, how not to teach the skill of going up the tree to the disciples to teach ...", this is the most beautiful fairy tale about the tiger learning to climb the tree, relive these lyrics, feel extremely warm, kind. Think about it, the tiger is very cute, although it has not yet learned to climb trees, but it can worship the cat as a teacher, itself is a courtesy corporal, and the capable one is a teacher. He also deeply understands the sorrow and joy in the tanuki cat's heart, and he is also dedicated, happy, anxious, and frightened. Teach your studies wholeheartedly, rejoice in the progress of the disciples, worry about the long road ahead, and panic that once the disciples behave, their lives will be lost.

She also used to follow her mother to visit her grandmother. Stepping into the small courtyard of the earthen wall, he often stood in the courtyard and waited for his mother. Occasionally walking into a low hut, I also hesitated to park by the wall in the deepest part of the room. The wall is pasted with the same new year painting of the tiger going up the mountain as the family, but this one of the old grandmother's house is extremely old, showing the vicissitudes of the years, looking at the New Year painting, looking at the black coffin that was prepared for the old grandmother on the left hand side behind the door, feeling standing at both ends of life, from this shore to the other shore, one shore is vitality, strength and might, and the other shore is weakness, twilight, and withering.

There are tiger girls in the house. The younger sister belongs to the tiger and likes the cloth tiger. An exaggerated orange cloth tiger with surprisingly large eyes and an exaggerated tail accompanied her all the way. Maybe there is an indissoluble relationship with the tiger, she has no teacher, Fuhu Yingchun's paper-cut window flowers are particularly beautiful, a piece of red paper folded and folded, cut and cut, a tiger window flower with a head mark king is red, the word "Fu" is in, "Fuhu Yingchun" is in, flowers, birds, leaves are complete, clumsy as I am, no matter how to learn, I only cut a hollow red circle at the end, quite a suspicion of violent things, so I gave up.

Tigers roar green mountains and thousands of miles, and the wind blows green willows in the spring. The small year has arrived, this is the beginning and foreshadowing of the whole grand Spring Festival carnival, but also the prologue and beginning of the whole grand Spring Festival celebration, on the occasion of spitting out the old and the new, welcoming the auspicious Nafu, the window sweeps the floor to clean the stove, the window is bright and bright, thousands of households are nervously making the final preparations to meet the Nongyin Fuhu, and the streets and alleys at this time seem to flow with excitement, busyness and sweetness in every strand of air. For the time being, buy some cartoon stickers, Fuzi door stickers, window flowers and stringed flannel lanterns that combine the elements of Fuhu, first red and hot, go home and find some poems about tigers to chew, it will definitely have a different flavor.

For thousands of years, people have feared tigers, respected tigers, praised tigers, and loved tigers, which has become a unique cultural phenomenon, and it has become more contaminated in the spiritual blood of the nation and integrated into the fireworks world. In the new year, let us dip more "tiger qi", then I wish myself and you who have the opportunity to see this article, the year of the tiger takes the tiger luck, the tiger year makes the tiger rich, the year of the tiger is auspicious, and the year of the tiger is full of blessings!
