We can't help but deepen our respect for this master of art
Mei Lanfang Calligraphy Collection of Shandong Museum of Chinese Literature and Art
This pair of five-foot couplets
It should be Mei Lanfang who first celebrates the opening of a friend's tea house
A calligraphic couplet written
The reason why Mei Lanfang has a deep achievement in the field of calligraphy and painting
It is because Mei Lanfang's grandfather Mei Qiaoling and father Mei Zhufen both like calligraphy
The family also collects many Ming and Qing Dynasty calligraphy and paintings
So
Mei Lanfang also likes calligraphy and painting
In 1962, Mei Lanfang went to Jinan to perform "Noble Concubine Drunk"
At that time, the ticket price of the municipal Peking Opera Troupe implemented the 'four-five-six system'
That is, the ticket price of A, B and C dramas
They are 4 corners, 5 angles, and 6 angles
And Mr. Mei's performance ticket price is 20 yuan
And it's hard to buy
Mei Lanfang Noble Concubine was drunk
In his opinion
Theatre is closely related to other arts
And have a common inner trait
He himself has always found inspiration in calligraphy painting
And integrated into the Peking Opera performance
What sets the master apart
It is the integration of the strengths of many parties
