Gelu Essay No. 101 / Jianghu is very large

One morning, I suddenly felt a sigh of sleep, and the rivers and lakes were very large.

After getting up, I immediately drew a painting with the inscription "The rivers and lakes are very large". As soon as it was sent to the circle of friends, a collector friend in Shanghai sent a text message collection in seconds. It seems that he is also concerned about this.

Later, a friend in the exhibition hall saw this painting and said, "Your painting is also too big, so expensive", I said, "You can cut it according to your own feelings." He thought about it for a moment and then said, "These voids can't be cut." If it is cut, it is not a river or a pond." Well, this friend knows the blank space of the picture very well.

Liu Deyang works Jianghu Is Large 28× 102cm, 2013 on paper

The term jianghu first seems to have originated from Zhuangzi's "Inner Chapter, The Great Master". "When the springs are dry, the fish phase and the land are on land, and they are wet with each other, and they are foaming at each other, so it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

This "jianghu" of Zhuangzi already has the significance of the humanistic and social categories. Without special life experiences, you can't feel them.

In fact, "it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes", that is, the "blank space" between people and things.

Warm and more sinister.

The word sinister is derived from the word "profit". The so-called "the world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all are profitable." The profit here, fame and fortune, utilitarianism, wealth, and profit are also.

In fact, the correct solution of the word "profit, the sum of righteousness" should be "the sum of righteousness." It means that in order to receive benefits, it is necessary to emphasize unity with morality.

Once sent a painting to Chengdu to send Xianqiao Art Market to participate in the opening of a gallery, marked "non-sale". A few days later the gallery called to say that a Singaporean owner had to buy it. The reason is the title of the work "I was fished by you, who were you fished by". The boss said to hang in the office, and the people who came to talk about business, first look at the painting.

"The one who benefits, the sum of righteousness," he understood.

"The one who benefits, the sum of righteousness". To reap benefits, it is necessary to emphasize unity with morality. Therefore, "a gentleman loves money and has a way to get it." The so-called Tao is the unity of morality. The unity between interest and morality is to leave a blank.

Ma Yun's "works"

Gelu Essay No. 101 / Jianghu is very large

Liu Xiaoqing "Works"

Ma Yun's painting sold for 46.8 million yuan at auction. Liu Xiaoqing's "calligraphy exhibition" in YideGe is not weak in selling effects.

Ma Yun and Liu Xiaoqing are both personal characters, both are smart people, and they are very rich people. But they are not calligraphers, just "celebrities" in the current social environment. Why can the brush characters of their kind (put down the pen, pencil, ballpoint pen, and switch to the brush to write can be called "brush character") have such a social, economic and even political effect, which can only be explained in four words - the jianghu is very large.

Now now, under the eyes, why are the demons dancing wildly, coaxing you to sing me on the stage, or four words, the rivers and lakes are very large.

A gentleman loves money and has a way of getting it. If there is no way, it is neither the way nor the meaning. 、

Liu Deyang's elegant grace and great wealth, 28× 136cm, 2018 on paper

Speaking of this, I think that many people like to paint peonies like to be inscribed with the title of "Great Wealth". What is Great Wealth? The painter is probably not clear.

Regarding the great wealth of peonies, my title is: "Great wealth - rich and low-key is expensive, expensive but not corrective is big."

Therefore, the premise of great wealth must be elegant and graceful, must be the unity of interests and morality, and must know how to leave blank.

As long as you know how to cultivate your own noble temperament, then, no matter how big the jianghu is, you will be calm and relaxed because you have the noble temperament of elegance and grace, integrity and gratitude...
