Cai Jing: Calligraphy belongs to my family.
Cai Jing, a native of Xianyou, Fujian, is the first of the "Six Thieves" in Hui Zong. Xu Huixin in Song Huizong is proud of him. In every anti-Cai agitation in the imperial court, although forced by the situation, he had to be demoted or released to calm public opinion, but he was always reinstated quickly. From the first year of Chongning, Cai Wei was appointed right assistant minister of Shangshu and assistant minister of Zhongshu to the first year of Jingkang. In more than 20 years, he was dismissed four times and was reused four times. Finally, Cai Jingnian is 80 years old. He was hard of hearing and limped, and Hui Zong relied on him until he abdicated.
Cai Jing's calligraphy is unique. Even the arrogant Miffy once said that his calligraphy was inferior to Cai Jing's. It is said that Cai Jing once asked Mi Fei: Who is the best calligrapher today? Miffy: When Liu Tang comes to power, it will be you and your brother Cai Bian. Cai Jing asked: What should we do next? Miffy said, of course it's me. At that time, Cai, also known as "Su Huang Camouflage", originally meant Cai Jing, but later generations hated his treachery, so it was easy to use Cai Xiang.
According to historical records, one summer, two junior officials paid tribute to Cai Jing and kept using fans to cool him down. Cai Jing was so happy that he drew a fan and wrote two poems by Du Fu for them. Unexpectedly, a few days later, these two people suddenly made a fortune. Only after asking did I know that my fans were bought by a prince for 20 thousand yuan. 20,000 yuan, equivalent to the annual expenses of an ordinary family at that time. This prince is Song Huizong before he ascended the throne. It is conceivable that calligrapher Song Huizong has a special liking for Cai Jing's works.
In the early autumn of the Yuan Dynasty, eunuch Tong Guan was sent to Hangzhou to set up a calligraphy and painting collection bureau for the emperor. At this time, Cai Jing lived in Hangzhou for nearly a year. It is said that he provided Tong Guan with a list to help him make suggestions, so that several immortal works of Hangzhou folk could fall into Tong Guan's hands. Some are paintings by Gu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Wenju's dream of double-screen chess. This made Tong Guan cut a dash in front of her long-lost teacher. As an excellent middleman, eunuch Tong Guan further deepened the emperor's appreciation of Cai Jing. Tong Guan and Cai Jing colluded with each other and framed Song Huizong, dragging the DaSong dynasty to the abyss of disaster step by step. The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty was largely due to Song Huizong's plundering of Chen Ning, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other disciples. But Song Huizong was delirious, incompetent and shameless. Finally, he and his son Qin Zong became the prisoners of nomadic people in China. Cai Jing, 80, was also deported. Cai Jing wrote sadly: "Eighty-one years, three thousand miles away, homeless, with boundless flesh and blood. Looking at China, I shed tears. The Golden Temple once worshipped five times, and the Jade Hall declared hemp and worshipped ten times, recalling the past prosperity and turning it into a dream. " This is a portrayal of Cai Jing's life. On the way to exile, people refused to sell him a bowl of soup and a meal, and he starved to death. After he died, there was no coffin. He was buried in LouzeGarden, where homeless people were buried.
Qin Gui: Song Song has no name.
Qin Gui is from Jiangning. 126, nomads attacked Bianjing. He was captured by the Jin people with Qin Gui, Hui Di and Qin Shihuang, and then sold himself to the younger brother of Jin Taizong. After being released to the south, he served as master of ceremonies and two prime ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was in office for 19 years and was favored by Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou. He killed the national hero Yue Fei and was demoted as a loyal minister and a good soldier. He gave priority to making peace, insisted on surrender, and implemented the policy of replacing gold with gold, becoming a famous traitor Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Qin Gui is a scholar, versatile and accomplished in calligraphy. As an official, he had a good reputation in his early years and was deeply loved by Song Huizong. He was appointed as the left consultant of Yushitai, responsible for handling the official documents of Yushitai government. It is said that when dealing with official documents, Qin Gui found that these official documents from all over the country have different fonts and are very irregular. Taking advantage of his position, he devoted himself to studying fonts, especially those of Hui Zong and Zhao Xin. Later, on the basis of imitating Xu Huixin's "skinny" font, he created a unique font, which was easy to learn. So he began to copy the throne with his new style. This attracted the attention of Hui Zong, and ordered Qin Gui to send its writing templates to all parts of the country, requiring official documents to be written uniformly according to the template font. This measure was quickly popularized. This font gradually evolved into Song Dynasty printing. Hui Zong Evonne's "slimming" and "Song Style" come down in one continuous line. Some people say that Songti is printed in "thin gold". Today, Songti is still the most widely used font, which has contributed to the popularization and spread of Chinese characters. Only this, Qin Gui should be one of the most influential calligraphers in the history of China. According to the convention, the font created should be called Qin style. But because Qin Gui is a traitor, he named this font Song Tiao, which can be said to be a waste of words.
[/s2/] Yan Song: There is no substitute for the Supreme Court.
Yan Hao is from Yuanzhou County and Mianan County, Jiangxi Province. Yan Song was smart and studious since childhood. Enlightened at Yan Temple at the age of 5, studied in the county town at the age of 9, admitted to the county town at the age of 65,438+00, promoted at the age of 65,438+09, and admitted to imperial academy at the age of 25. As can be seen from this resume, Yan Song has always been high flyers and a child prodigy. At that time, Emperor Jiajing was fascinated by immortality. He likes to pray to heaven in green words. Yan Hao is good at writing clear words, which won the favor of Jiajing. He got the position of cabinet assistant and was ridiculed as "Prime Minister of Qing Dynasty". His power is in the hands of one person and all his followers turn to him. More than 30 officials became his adopted sons.
According to Qi Rushan's book, there was a Hiram's Hospital in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty, which passed the local examination. After passing the local examination, it is the first in the world. The emperor attached great importance to it, and all the invigilators were ministers. But the "Supreme Court" on the plaque in Gong Yuan Hall was written by Yan Hao. No one will feel uncomfortable hanging a plaque inscribed by a traitor in such a grand place to select talents for the court. Emperor Long wanted to change, so he ordered calligraphers to write these three words. He himself, as the son of heaven who likes dancing and writing, has written several times. But he found that his imperial pen was not as good as others' books, so he had to give up and still let the treacherous court official's words hang high.
When Yan Song was in office, he cherished ancient Mo Bao. According to historical records, Zhang Zeduan, a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, killed two people in Yan Hao in order to get his immortal work The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. During Jiajing period, Yan Hao learned that this painting was collected by Zhai, the foreign minister of Yuan Dynasty, and sent Wang Jing, the magistrate of Jimo, to buy it. Because of the power of fear, Wang refused to hand over the painting, so he asked a famous painter to copy it for him. I don't know if Yan Hao is a fake, but when he showed the painting publicly, the person who framed it saw through him. In anger, he immediately arrested Wang Wang for "cheating others" and collected the original works from his uncle, and used his power to get the original works from him. The poor king finally died in prison. Yan Hao has the clearest story of seizing power. In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, Yan Hao killed him for "losing the opportunity to run the army". According to this historical fact, Li Yu, a dramatist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, wrote the Legend of Holding Snow and put it on the stage. After Yan Hao gradually fell out of favor, his son was beheaded, his mansion was raided, and The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival was incorporated into the palace again.
Yan Hao's cronyism destroyed Zhong Liang, and finally ended the reduction of his family members and the reproduction of wealth. His property was robbed of more than 30,000 taels of gold and 2,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to the total national fiscal revenue at that time. In addition, there are millions of acres of land, more than 6,000 houses, and countless rare antiques and famous paintings. Why is the sentence "what you said" often accepted in emptiness? Yan Song's grudges before his death explain this mistake. He wrote: "I have served my country all my life, and I am honest and clean, but I know right from wrong after death."
Until his death, he still considered himself a loyal minister and an upright gentleman. Treacherous court official has a just mentality in his chest, which makes his writing appear heroic or elegant. In fact, "what you say is what you say" can only express the author's psychological state through words, but can't reveal the author's character through words.
