Jiang Ren (1743-1795), formerly known as Tai, zi Jieping, later renamed Jiang Ren, No. Shantang, alias Jiluo Jushi, Female Bed Shanmin, Zhejiang Renhe (Hangzhou) people.
The Ming Dynasty seal engraver Wang Guan, formerly known as Wang Dongyang, later obtained a Han copper seal "Wang Guanyin", so he changed his name to Wang Guan. Since then, The art of Chinese seal engraving has had a master figure named Wang Guan, as for Wang Dongyang, who is Wang Dongyang?
In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was another printing fool who was capable of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and seal engraving, his original name was Jiang Tai, and when he was teaching in Yangzhou, he obtained a bronze seal of the "Seal of Jiang Ren" in the Pingshan Hall of the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Ren's ancestors were once officials, and in Jiang Ren's generation, the family road gradually declined, and he lived a poor and lonely life since he was a child, but his family did not fall. In his early years, he lived in Chutang Lane, and at the age of thirty-two, he returned to the two ancestral houses in Donggao outside the Genshan Gate, and Jiang Ren was clumsy in human affection, talking little with people on weekdays, and not operating a meritorious name. Jiang Ren,"Ashoka Mountain Shines Light Song Ci Qian Shao Zhan Xin Lin Rhyme", Shi Yun:
The canopy is loose and the buildings are swept away.
The light of the relics appears, and the scales of the flint stones are destroyed.
Cynical Liang Song, Pan Yun Shou Brahma.
Straight to the sadness, the gods for two thousand years.
When Jiang Ren returned from Chutang Lane to the old mansion of Donggao outside the Genshan Gate at the age of thirty-two, because the old mansion was too small, he handed over more than 280 kinds of ancestral ancient calligraphy and paintings, as well as ancient Fa Ti and antiques, to Shi Shuyue's family for preservation. Jiang Ren's family has more than 280 kinds of calligraphy and paintings and inscriptions from the past, including more than 280 kinds of calligraphy and paintings from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and early Kingdoms, but they have been stolen by people and lost all the treasures of their ancestors. This incident was a great blow to Jiang Ren, and it made honest people even more reluctant to open their mouths, depressed in their hearts, remorseful, and hated things all their lives.
Jiang Ren's life is not easy, he has a lonely personality, and he is not good at governing mundane affairs, he lives with his wife and daughter, and lives a simple life like a hermit. In order to survive, he had to travel to Yangzhou many times in order to perform in Yangzhou. At that time, Yangzhou was still a rich place under the world, and literati and inkers gathered here. Jiang Ren's entertainment life was not ideal, but fortunately he met the painter Gu Lian in Yangzhou. Gu Lian was very recognized by Jiang Ren, and Jiang Ren also made many seals to give to Gu Lian. Therefore, Gu Lianyan asked Jiang Ren to set up a museum in his home to teach his children the scriptures. Jiang Ren ushered in a relatively free, generous and comfortable decade of his life, and he also had spare money to buy ancient seals and predecessor prints and antiques. The twenty-six square seals included in the "Seal of the Giro Residents" are the works of the golden years of this decade or so. It is these works that laid the foundation for the "Zhejiang School" style to become clearer, and it was also the peak period when Jiang Ren blazed a trail of his own. Jiang Ren's "Mountain Pavilion Rain In the Rain Xi Shao Four Right Nunnery to Send Evening Qing Mountain Chang Huan Shan Yin Fold Fu Weng Ren Ting Poetry Rhyme", Shi Yun:
Rain on the dusky lake, shu cirrus clouds in the mountains.
Yun Shan hugged the city and walked, and Jie Ge Ling was cold.
The sky is falling, and the ancient road is a glimpse.
Don't worry about the steep mountains and slippery, send guests to Wu Yueguan.
Dressed in exhaustion, laughing and leaning on the fence.
In the old yan li, listen to the rain around the furnace.
The sound of rain in Russia stopped, and the end of the Ming River was noted.
He Jian went from here on, and the middle stream should look up.
In the forty-eighth year of Qianlong (1783), Gu Lian died, and Jiang Ren suddenly lost his source of livelihood. He has a cold personality, is not good at communicating with people, and is not good at governing the economy. Gu Lian's children were still young, and gu Lian's relatives and friends who served as his agents before his death were mean and mean, and Jiang Ren was unwilling to be with these people. The fundamental reason why his entertainment career is difficult to continue is that he engraved to choose people, and the people he did not look up to resolutely did not engrave, even if the money given by others was rich, it was not socialized. He could not stay in Yangzhou any longer, and he had to return to Hangzhou to settle down.
At this time, Jiang Ren was already over forty years old, and his savings in Yangzhou in his early years had almost all been spent, and his economic situation was greatly embarrassing and difficult. The ancestral house where he originally lived could not be inhabited for some reason, so he had to move again to the nearest one, and moved to Fang JiaYuan near Shahetang outside the Genshan Gate, which was not far from his original residence. Jiang Ren ordered his room to be "Jiluo An" (吉羅庵), also known as "Jiluo Jushi", and engraved with Jizhi. The new house is a dilapidated small building purchased by Jiang Ren, which can no longer be inhabited without maintenance. After Jiang Ren moved to the house, he spent money on repairs, houses, and repairs, which made the already stretched economy even worse. Families are poor and often cannot raise fires for cooking. There are two old houses, standing alone in the wind and rain. There are piano books in the family, there are old wives, there are little girls sitting around Jiang Ren, the world is big, at this time the room gladly forgets the poor, although poor, although how rich, the heart is suitable, is the source of happiness.

Poor and expensive, the rest of the foot view.
Jiang Ren's physical condition also began to deteriorate, his daily expenses became more and more problematic, in order to solve the livelihood, Jiang Ren asked his friend Shao Zhichun to entrust others, wanted to introduce him to Suzhou to teach, but in the end, he was not able to make the trip. His good friend Shao Zhichun played a very important role in his later life. Jiang Ren's transfer of debts everywhere, as well as the sale of Chinese play and collection of books, were mostly helped by Shao Zhichun. When Jiang Ren bought the "Jiluo'an", he was coaxed by the villains and suffered a great loss. So he had to deal with the outside world under the guise of Shao Zhichun's hand, and he almost sold out his collection in Yangzhou in the past years. He even sold the books, "Seventeen History and other books, first look at it, such as Qiu He immediately sent to the Yao Clan Classic." Everything was gone, and the brother's illness could not be recovered, and he still needed medicine and food. "Shao Zhichun, Jiaqing's first year of filial piety and honesty, wrote four volumes of the "Right Anthology of Poetry", and his character should be no problem.
It was here that Jiang Ren collapsed in poverty and barely survived, and he used Buddhist scriptures to comfort himself. Slightly better, or writing calligraphy for a friend as a gift. He fell into the trap of "learning older and poorer his family", at this time he was already "sick for two months, fortunately not to die." Heaven does not want to fill the mouths and ears of the slanderer. The skin is dried up and meaty, and there is no compound theory. Jiang Ren had to think of Yangzhou, and he wrote a poem:
The amount of wine is inexhaustible,
Red Bridge lights paint boat pass.
Twenty years ago,
The scrolls are clearly like a dream.
A year before Jiang Ren's death, in the winter of the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong (1794), Zhang Yingjie, a native of Shandong, was the governor of Hangzhou, and Zhang Yingjie himself was good at calligraphy and could also write. Once, when he saw Jiang Ren's calligraphy, he felt admiration, heard about his situation, and felt sad in his heart, so he sent someone to welcome Jiang Ren to the official residence, perform disciple ceremonies, and respectfully treat Jiang Ren, so that Jiang Ren received his gift at the end of his years, so that his embarrassment was alleviated. Also in the winter of that year, Guo Lu, a late figure of the Zhejiang Western Poetry School and a seal engraver, came to Hangzhou to visit Jiang Ren. From the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong until his death, jiang ren rarely played the knife engraving for health reasons. Jiang Ren deliberately made a "Heavenly Drifting Zero" seal for Guo Lu and inscribed three poems for his "Water Village Map". After Jiang Ren's death, Guo Lu composed a poem "Jiang Shan Tang Ren's Elegy", which recorded the meeting at this time and Jiang Ren's living conditions:
In the previous year of Wulin, heavy snow fell on the boat.
Misty asked Donggao, extending the edge into the reeds.
Huang Huang knocked on the wood and closed the door for a long time.
The dangerous building is desperate to help, and the moss wall will be erected.
Fall into a room, but there are folded feet a few.
The cooking tea stove is in the air, and the occasional language is left and right.
Returning to the boat to revisit and give me bait.
The leeks are used as garden sunflowers, and there are carp tails.
Wen Wen Miscellaneous Tan Zhen, the history of literature and history.
Smile or listen, without showing your teeth.
Lying next to the ice and snow, he felt contemptuous.
Return to your friends, and the bitter festival is like this.
In the winter of the sixty years of Qianlong (1795), Jiang Ren completed his life in poverty and illness. Jiang Ren has no children and only has an only daughter. After Jiang Ren's death, his wife and daughter disappeared, and his poems and self-use seals were also missing.
Throughout his life, Jiang Ren enjoyed poetry, calligraphy and painting, and seal carving, especially seal carving. After Ding Jing opened the "Zhejiang School", due to the emergence of Jiang Ren, the "Ming people's habits" of seal carving finally encountered the ancient and simple and mao printing style, and the "Zhejiang School" was established, perfected, and resilient to Ding Jing, starting from Jiang Ren, and from then on, there was a real sense of "Zhejiang School". Jiang Renzhiyin pursued the will, and as soon as the seal was in hand, the knife was immediately established. He pursues unrestrained, and can inadvertently produce good composition and charm. Wei Xizeng's "Twenty-Four Treatises on Printing Poems • Seventeen • Jiang RenshanTang", poem Yun:
Mountain people learn from Buddhism and have the wisdom of teachers.
Infa Yan Lin Weng, the nightmare becomes strange.
Petal incense imitates Du Han, Samadhi is not a game.
(Jiang RenshanTang.) Yan Lin Ding Ju Shi Yin, Ju Huan Hua Poem, Chang Li Pen, when it is proud, chao Qin, Han and shangzhi, Gui, Li, Wen, He Wei enough to compare, and there is no shortage of incense Yan Lin Weng, who has its god to get its essence? All the mountains are printed in Chinese. Although the Qin Chinese language seems to be excessive, it is obedient to the point. ）
Jiang Ren is also good at carving bamboo, and can also paint landscapes, has a leisurely interest, and is often elegant and vulgar.
Jiang Ren's calligraphers Fa Yan Zhenqing, Sun Guoting, and Yang Ningshi were good at writing calligraphy, and the side sections of the books he carved were natural and natural, with unique rhymes, and the charm of Yan body calligraphy. His unconventional rhyme, yumi can spy on the second king. Jiang Ren often wrote that when he rose, if he poured ink on paper, it was difficult to distinguish words, and those who saw it clapped their hands and applauded, and they were all overwhelmed by it.
Lu Xiuhui has a song "For Jiang Renshan", a poem cloud:
Clumsy in the world, diligent in learning the scriptures.
Lu Lane hides a burrow, and the poor family has a cold mirror.
In the sincerity of making friends, there is no way to know people.
Lonely and vulgar, wives and daughters pity the west and the east.
Bitter nights are often lonely, and travelers send strangers.
A few times hurt the past, such as smelling the piccolo.
The poems and paintings are printed, and the poor are lonely and suffering.
Writing about the old times and months, the heart is happy.
The literati are naïve, and the secular is more unenlightened.
When this old man was pitiful, he did not want to return to the world.
