He Zhendai fan-faced "Zhou YiShan Tongqi" verse appreciation
This small script on the fan surface written by Mr. He Zhendaishu translates it and adds a sentence to read: "Give orders, follow the Yin and Yang Festival." When the vessel is to be hidden, do not violate the moon. Kan Peng Moon Essence, away from the sun. At the fourth hour of Tuwang, chaos was vast. Mu Mu Phase from, nourishing liquid moisturizing, application circulation. The gods of heaven and earth are immeasurable. It can be used to settle down, invisible and hidden. The Lord of the Gen is not allowed to enter and stop, and must not exceed the time. Twenty-three days, the period of observance. Ninety-five flying dragons, heavenly plus joy. Shuo Dan is the restoration, and the yang qi begins to pass. In and out of the micro-disease, standing on the surface of the micro-rigid. Huang Zhong Jianzi, Zhao Nai Zhi Zhang. Sow soft and warm, and Li steamed regularly. Apply the strip before the furnace, open the way first. Shine brightly and grow better, and grow longer with each passing day. □□ and long. Through repeated consultation of the data, this text is known to come from the "Zhou Yi Shan TongQi", but it is not a whole chapter, but a combination of sentences selected from many chapters, so it is called a section.
The Zhou YiShan Tongqi was written by Wei Boyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has obvious Taoist overtones and is also an alchemy work. In the "General Catalogue of the Four Libraries", it is said: "Those who later spoke of fire all thought that the book was the originator", which shows the great influence of this book. The book uses the principle of yin and yang changes in "Zhou Yi" to expound the way of alchemy and internal cultivation, and proves that people have the same body, the same function and different uses of heaven and earth and the universe. The book not only inherits the Taoist theory of health maintenance, but also the origin of ancient Chinese chemistry, pharmacology, astronomical calendar and other disciplines, and the principle of "gunpowder", one of the four major inventions that the Chinese people are proud of, comes from this book. Because it involves many disciplines of knowledge, this book is difficult and obscure, so it is known as the "Book of Heaven".
From the excerpt of Mr. He Zhendai's book "Zhou YiShan Tongqi", it can be seen that Mr. He Zhendai has done a very in-depth study of this "Book of Heaven", so he can freely extract the essence in the "Book of Heaven" and combine it into a section according to the level. According to the "He Zhendai Anthology", Mr. He "read the Yi Notes for more than ten years and picked quite a few. "Its" "Yi" is deeply learned, and it is also unknowable that he is willing to use his heart. In the process of studying "Zhou Yi", Mr. He also worked hard to practice Yi Theory and achieved the unity of knowledge and action. Therefore, the academic community believes that Mr. He Zhendai, as an erudite Confucian, not only has a high attainment in poetry and literature, but also has unique insights in the fields of easy learning and science.
He Zhendai wrote a lot of works in his lifetime, in addition to majoring in "West Lake Zhi" and participating in the revision of "Fujian Tongzhi", his main monographs include "Juelu Poetry Grass", "My Spring Room Poetry Collection", "Heart Free Zhai Poetry Collection", "Shouchun Society Word Copy" and so on. In addition, there are still unpublished "Ming Poetry", "Words and Phrases" and "Yi Xuelu".
Mr. He Zhendai's calligraphy and painting art is not too much attention compared to his education. In fact, judging from Mr. He Zhendai's anthologies, diaries and calligraphy works passed down from generation to generation, Mr. He is also very devoted to the persistence and study of calligraphy art in the process of doing his studies. Because he was very knowledgeable, he had a very orthodox idea of calligraphy art. His calligraphy works are not only full of literary style and beauty, but also have a high artistic level. Among the famous poets of the Min school of "Tongguang Body" in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, his calligraphy is quite outstanding.
This talent is shallow and shallow, and he does not measure up to try to interpret the content of Mr. He Zhendai's "Zhou YiShan Tongqi" verse, and to be honest, it is quite laborious. Fortunately, after repeatedly reading and consulting the literature, I vaguely understood that the text on the entire fan was talking about the use of the "Zhou Yi" bagua, first of all, it was required to refer to the "Zhou Yi" to be chronological, follow the yin and yang, wait for the hour, and pay attention to the yin and yang elements in the four pillars and eight characters on the day of the gua. Then, in turn, the Kan, Li, Meng, Ze, Qian, Kun, Geng, Tai, and other gua and some of the five elements of the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms and the daily dry branches were talked about, such as the likeness, the omen, and so on.
However, although the content of this fan is very laborious to interpret, through the study of calligraphy, the writing of this fan is generally natural, coordinated, and radiant, with a deep foundation in calligraphy and a wonderful artistic style.

A lesson with a work belt to write the fragrance of the four seasons
Qing Xie Xizhang silk four bucket square appreciation
Xie Xizhang (1859~1936), character Ban Gui, number Sword Wave. "Zhao'an School" painter of the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. Seiko flowers, birds and grass insects, especially ink peony. The enlightenment teacher of Mr. Shen Xichun, a famous contemporary painter and the original painter of Fuzhou Painting Academy.
This set of four-season flowers and grass insects is a silk bucket, which was composed in the "Zhao'an Art Society" in the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, that is, when Xie Xizhang was seventy years old. This set of works depicts cabbage in spring, lotus flowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. The flowers of the four bucket squares mostly use a light brush to write out the skeleton posture, and then apply light colors to express their elegance and beauty with the brushwork of the work belt. Each bucket shows the demeanor of plants and grass insects, full of agility and vitality. Although the flowers and grass insects grow and open in different seasons, they also have different habits, and the painter puts them into the painting in a set of forms, so that the works are divided into independent works, which complement each other, which shows Xie's superb pen and ink expression skills and overall generalization ability. The "four buckets" are complete sets, and the collection of great achievements is particularly rare.
Garden Vegetable Fragrance (Spring)
The use of dead branches against the cabbage indicates that the cold winter has not yet dissipated, and the spring vitality has been full of vitality. So the red-clad beetles sucked intently on the morning dew, and the grasshoppers sang the song of spring on the lush ground.
Cabbage harmonic "hundred wealth", vegetable gang means "layer by layer to see wealth". Cabbage and grasshoppers imply that living wealth is rolling in. Cabbage is also in line with the ancient Chinese literati doctor's idea of advocating innocence. It can be seen that cabbage and grasshoppers imply beauty and have Chinese cultural connotations.
This picture is first written with a work belt, showing the jade and full style of cabbage, and then in the way of pure workmanship, the beetles and grasshoppers are painted delicately and flexibly, and the look is lovely. The cabbage written by the part-time work belt and the beetles and grasshoppers of the pure work pen form an aesthetic echo of a static movement, making the whole work dynamic and static, meaning long.
West Lake June (Summer)
Opening this "West Lake June", immediately think of the famous poem of Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty: "After all, in the middle of June in the West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four hours." The lotus leaves are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers are different red. "The little lotus has only shown its sharp horns, and there are dragonflies standing on its head."
The lotus leaves of the pen meet the slight wind and shake in different postures. The blooming white flowers and the red buds waiting to bloom are intertwined, and the charming wind god is brilliant. Freehand grass walks through the lotus leaves, dancing cheerfully. The reddish dragonfly smelled the wind and was about to take the lead and monopolize the flower head. Grabbing a corner of "Quyuan Fenghe" is already so tempting, how can "West Lake June" not be fascinating?
Autumn color equalization (autumn)
"Under the eastern fence of picking chrysanthemums, leisurely see the South Mountain." "Wait until the autumn comes on September 8, and I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." "After the east hedge put the wine at dusk, there is a dark fragrance full of sleeves." The famous sentence of the popular population has written chrysanthemums as a beautiful color for thousands of years!
However, in the view of the painter Xie Xizhang, "The sorrow of autumn is more divided, and the red indigo of jiaxi reflects the wind and the wind." "The red indigo beachhead is old in autumn, and the danfeng nagisa is in the early days." This time, I will write chrysanthemums and red indigo together to see if the two can divide the "Autumn Colors equally".
Therefore, the colorful butterflies flew and rushed to the white and yellow chrysanthemums; the cockroaches were even more condescending and monopolized the red indigo; even the dogtail grass also came to join in the fun, aiming at the "saffron flower seeds"... Do the animals and plants that are carefully carved and vivid really want to divide the autumn colors equally?
Snow Fairy (Winter)
Opening this work, I immediately thought of Wang Anshi's "Several plums in the corner of the wall, Ling Han opened alone." Haruka is not snow, for there is dark incense to come. The painter Xie Xizhang first used the technique of half-work writing to express the iron bone of the plum blossom and proudly and alone; then wrote the white and bright color of the plum blossom, and the dark fragrance was far away. Poets and painters alike used "dark incense" to point out that plums are better than snow.
Huang Tingjian believes that daffodils are "only better than cold plums without good branches", which is completely comparable to plum blossoms. Therefore, the painter Xie Xizhang used the technique of pure brush to paint the image of "Lingbo Fairy Report early spring". It was lively, and plum blossoms and daffodils competed to become the messengers of primrose, and both of them believed that they had taken advantage of the spring color first.
The little bee heard the news and rushed to judge the "dark incense" of the two pairs: you are all "Snow Immortals"!

Double rabbit walking on the ground Why divide male and female
Mr. Zheng Naijue's "Double Rabbit Diagram" reading
Opening Mr. Zheng Naijue's "Double Rabbit Diagram", the first thing that comes to mind is the last two sentences of the Northern Dynasty folk song "Mulan Poem": "... The two rabbits walked sideways, and Ann could tell if I was male or female? ”
"Mulan Poems" is a long narrative poem, telling the story of a girl named Mulan who dressed as a man, served in the army for her father, made many meritorious achievements on the battlefield, did not want to be an official after victory, and only wanted to go home to reunite with her relatives, warmly praising the woman's brave and kind qualities, enthusiasm for defending the family and defending the country, and heroic and fearless spirit.
"The two rabbits walk sideways, can Ann tell if I'm male or female?" The meaning of the two sentences is that when two rabbits run on the ground together, how to distinguish between male and female? Here is the metaphor of the rabbit running male and female, praising and affirming Mulan's talent and wisdom, thus conveying the concept of "who says that women are inferior to men".
Writing the title of "Double Rabbit Walking On The Ground, Why Divide Male and Female", The majestic posture of Mulan straddling a warhorse, holding a spear, armor and armor, and heroically killing the enemy appeared in front of his eyes. Yes, in the history of China, in the face of the invasion of a powerful enemy, the sons and daughters of China have joined forces and written countless heroic chapters that can be sung and wept, and there are many heroines who shine under the brilliant starry sky of history. History will not forget them, and the people will not forget them!
Back to Mr. Zheng Naijue's "Double Rabbit Diagram". The picture was created in March 1982, and two fat rabbits, one black and one white, are suitable for each other, playing comfortably on the grass. The white rabbit is written with a light and elegant dry pen, which sees the handsome beauty in the lightness; the black rabbit adopts the technique of colliding thick and light ink, and breeds the rabbit from the ink gas, which appears flexible and abundant. Both rabbits are dotted with white dots, revealing the rabbit's alert eyes and vivid appearance through reflection. Then the green and yellow smudge method is used to pave the ground brocade, decorated with chrysanthemums, cabbage, and red and tongy small peppers to wake up the picture, so that the whole picture is set up with clear colors, the artistic conception is bright; dense and elegant, thick and light; the atmosphere is beautiful and vibrant.
In traditional culture, the rabbit is often seen as a thing of good fortune, a symbol of the moon. Literary works of past dynasties often refer to the jade rabbit as the bright moon, and there is a saying that "the golden wuxi falls and the jade rabbit rises in the east". The well-known legend of Chang'e running to the moon is that Chang'e flew to the Moon Palace after eating the elixir and accompanied the jade rabbit, and made the elixir of immortality. Since then, people have placed good hopes on rabbits.
The rabbit ranks fourth in the Zodiac, corresponding to the 卯 in the ancient Twelve Branches. The five elements of 卯 belong to wood, spring is exuberant, has the function of making fire, born in the face of water, meets the Tukezhi...
Rabbits symbolize auspiciousness, wisdom and prudence in folklore. The saying that "the jade rabbit is auspicious" has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Jade Rabbit Chengxiang" originated from "Encounter Rabbit Chengxiang", which is a small game of ancient folk. There is such a record in the "Huainan Zi": There is a laurel tree in the moon, and the fruit falls to the earth after April or May every year. Because the jade rabbit is a fairy child in the middle of the month, people often hide the rabbit in the laurel bush, and the first to find the "encounter rabbit is auspicious", there is a good omen of "toad palace folding gui".
"Double Rabbit Diagram" by Zheng Naijue
Rabbits are intelligent animals, and the idiom "cunning rabbit three caves" means that rabbits are smart and good at protecting themselves. Rabbits have played a witty role in folk tales since ancient times, and the image of "moving like a rabbit" vividly describes the agility of rabbits. The rabbit is extremely agile, not only can easily cross the obstacles on the way forward and escape the disaster with great speed, but no matter how high people throw it, it can always land on both feet and lightly avoid the danger of injury.
There are not many Chinese characters derived from the word "rabbit", but they are very distinctive. Books such as "Explanation of Words" believe that rabbits are good at escaping, and escaping quickly is called "escape", so they have derived words such as "escape", "escape", "wandering", "hidden", "comfortable", "super easy", "easy", "easy", "easy". The word "grievance" is a sign of "crying out grievances" for the good rabbit, and the "Explanation of Words" explains: "Wrongs, grievances." It means that the rabbit is under the fence, can not stretch, can not escape, only submissive, people thus extend the rabbit's dilemma as a grievance, so there are a series of words such as "wronged", "unjust", "unjust", "unjust".
"Rabbit culture" is too deep, and then go back to Mr. Zheng Naijue's "Double Rabbit Map". When I first met in 1999, I lost my hand with a difference of hundreds of dollars within a framework of thousands of dollars. Soon, I met this picture again at the Collector's Gallery, and Fang knew that the owner of the goods sold it to the gallery at my bid, and the gallery owner said that he would not sell it for the time being on the grounds that his family belonged to the rabbit, so I had to give up.
Five years later, when I negotiated with a collector to buy a batch of works, I found that the "Double Rabbit Map" was also among them, and it is said that the collector asked for this picture on the grounds that his family was a rabbit. The third time I happened to encounter this picture, it was inevitable, so I packaged this picture with other works, but the price was spread out for tens of thousands of yuan. Some people laughed at me and said that I "don't buy thousands of thousands."
Who expected that after another 5 years, the friend who sold this work finally relaxed his hand, and even asked me to return it at several times the purchase price of my purchase and was politely rejected by me. It can be seen that the collection of things can also be stretched and shrunk, just like the double rabbit leaning on the ground, it is difficult to distinguish male and female!
