Huang Tingjian is the Yellow of Su Huang Mi Xiang in the calligraphy "Song Sijia". He and Qin Guan, Chao Shuzhi, and Zhang Qian were collectively known as the Four Scholars of Sumen. SuMen, under the Sudongpo Gate. Among Su Shi's many protégés and fans, he most appreciated and valued these four people, and was happy to promote them tirelessly, and because of Su Shi's recommendation, the four of them soon became famous all over the world. Su Dongpo said: "For example, Huang Tingjian is straight, Chao Zhizhi is blameless, Qin Guan is too vain, Zhang Qiwen is subliminal, all of them are unknown to the world, and Shi Du is a prophet."
When Huang Tingjian was young, he was brilliant and unforgettable, and he could recite it several times. His uncle Li Chang was particularly fond of him, and often took the books on the bookshelf to ask him, and he almost answered him like a stream. His uncle Li Chang was very depressed: How can this child be so smart, what a thousand horses. His uncle Li Chang wanted to test him, so he stepped to the door of the study and saw the mulberry trees in the courtyard, so he took this as the title and chanted the truth:
Mulberry silkworms, silkworm knot cocoons, cocoons draw silk, silk weaving splendid embroidery.
Huang Tingjian was very happy to see his uncle test him. After a little contemplation, I immediately answered the next link correctly:
Grass hides rabbits, rabbits are born with a millimeter, a milli-sharp pen, and a pen writes articles.
Li Chang listened to it and liked it even more, and from then on, he was more important and caring for Huang Tingjian, and carefully cultivated him.
In the second year of the Song Dynasty, the Records of the Divine Sect were completed, and he was promoted to the rank of Living Houseman. At this time, his mother fell ill. Huang Tingjian is a famous filial piety, his mother was ill for a year, he did not wear clothes, day and night nursing, examining his mother's face and the color of defecation, and serving his mother wholeheartedly. Every night, he personally asked his mother about washing, and he himself led by example, washing her toilet. He has never found an excuse not to fulfill his responsibilities, and he dare not forget that Filial piety comes first, and his filial piety is praised by the people of the time. When his mother died, he built a house to guard filial piety by the tomb, and because he mourned his mother, he fell seriously ill and almost lost his life.
Like Su Dongpo, he liked Buddha Zen and lived with Zhongrenshan, the abbot of Huaguang Temple, who lived in Huaguang Temple when he was in Hengzhou, and everyone laughed and called him "Huaguang Monk". The monk liked plum blossoms, and whenever the flowers bloomed, he spent his days wandering the flowers and sitting among the flowers. At the end of the month, he gladly took up his pen to copy, and the plum shadow reflected the window, and the shadow swayed, quietly cute.
At Huaguang Temple, the monk showed the scrolls of poetry left by Dongpo and Shaoyou and painted plums to give to Huang Tingjian. Both Su and Qin died before him. While in Changsha, Huang Tingjian met Qin Guan's son and son-in-law, who were escorting Qin Guan's coffin north, suffering from tariffs and poverty on the way. When Huang Tingjian saw them, he was speechless for a moment, wept bitterly, and gave him twenty-two pieces of silver for funeral purposes. And when Yu saw the relics of his deceased friend at the monk's place, he couldn't help but think sadly.
Zhang Huan and Cai Bian believed that the Records of the Divine Sect were often untrue, and summoned the historians near the capital for cross-examination. More than a thousand pieces of content were recorded, saying that there was no verification. The Scholastics were examined and examined, and all found a factual basis, and there were only thirty-two things left, and they remained in doubt. Summoning Huang Tingjian, he interrogated him about what he wrote in the Records of the Divine Sect that "the river is ruled by the claws of an iron dragon, and there is a play with children". Huang Tingjian said: "I was the official northern capital at that time, and I saw this with my own eyes, and it was indeed like a child's play. He answered the thirty-two questions in doubt truthfully, and did not hesitate to because of political persecution, and his colleagues who practiced the Records of the Divine Sect, as well as those who cared about it, praised him for his courage and boldness. Zhang Huan and Cai Bian had no choice but to relegate him to Fuzhou and Qianzhou. His opponents thought that Shu and Gui were good places, and they made an excuse to want to degrade him again. In order to avoid the suspicion of relatives, he moved to Rongzhou. So turbulent, Huang Tingjian, like a person who has nothing to do, does not mind at all.
In the first year of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong took the throne, and Huang Tingjian was appointed as the governor of Ezhou Taxation, and signed a letter to the Judge of the Ningguo Army, Shuzhou Zhizhou, in order to be summoned by the minister Wailang, he resigned, please be a foreign county official, learned of Taiping Prefecture, when Zhao Tingzhi was in power, Zhao Tingzhi, Li Qingzhao's father-in-law. Huang Tingjian was at odds with Zhao Tingzhi when he was in Hebei, and Zhao Tingzhi reflected to Chaoyan at this time that Huang Tingjian had a relationship between men and women. After nine days of knowing Taiping Prefecture, Huang Tingjian was deposed and replaced by the head of the Jade Dragon Temple. After presenting the "Record of the Jingnan Chengtianyuan", he was accused of being fortunate for the disaster, and Huang Tingjian was once again removed from his list and sent to Yizhou for control. Chongning was transferred to Yongzhou for four years, and without waiting for the summons, Huang Tingjian died in Yizhou (Yishan County, Guangxi) at the age of sixty. In February of the third year of Daguan (1109), the disciples Su Bogu and Jiang Xiang escorted him to the west of Shuangjing Zuzhi.
Huang Tingjian poetics Du Fu put forward poetic theories such as "turning iron into gold" and "taking the tire and changing the bone", which had a profound impact on the poetry creation of later generations. As a representative figure of Song poetry, Huang Tingjian's influence on Song poetry exceeded that of Su Shi. There is no trace of Su poetry to be sought, and very few people study Su poetry. Huang Tingjian's poems, however, are very rigorous in law, and, with meticulous reasoning, are representative poets of the heyday of Song poetry.
The first time Su Shi saw Huang Tingjian's poems was at a banquet for Huang Tingjian's nephew Sun Jue, when Dongpo was shocked. When Huang Tingjian was thirty-four years old, he presented two poems to Su Shi. At that time, Su Shi was already famous in the world, and Huang Tingjian was only a temporary appearance, and the two felt sorry for each other and became divine friends. Huang Tingjian has since been known as a Sumen bachelor, which has also brought Huang Tingjian a bumpy life.
A year later, Su Shi was imprisoned for the "Wutai Poetry Case", and although Huang Tingjian had never met Su Shi, he sang peace and was fined twenty pounds of copper. Seven years later, the new emperor ascended the throne and abolished the new law, and Su Shi and Huang Tingjian were recalled to the Capital Division, and the two met for the first time.
Huang Tingjian's calligraphy, when going back to the Jin and Tang dynasties and learning the classic calligraphy of his predecessors, had the greatest influence on it was Su Shi. Huang Tingjian began to learn Zhou Yue, and his trembling qi started from Zhou Yue. After Being instructed by Su Shi, he was determined to change himself, and his codex xiaoxingshu was especially similar to Su Shi. When Huang Tingjian was a book theorist, he mostly commented on Dongpo calligraphy, and most of them were highly respected. Su Dongpo not only promoted Huang Tingjian in literature, but also had a subversive influence on Huang Tingjian, and was an example for Huang Tingjian to learn.
Huang Tingjian's division spear euphorbia, Mianjin's slow and astringent book style formed, in which a misunderstanding was hidden. He thought that the "Crane Ming" was written by the Right Army, and he believed it, so he devoted himself to studying it. Huang Tingjian and Su Dongpo are in the history of Chinese calligraphy, beyond the shroud of the Tang Dynasty calligraphy style, and the calligraphers who go back to the combination of the pre-Tang dynasty tablets and the self-opening of the new style have a great influence on the history of Chinese calligraphy, it can be said that it is precisely because of the "Song Four Families" that the history of calligraphy since the Song Dynasty has a new significance.
