He Cai was born in Tongcheng, Anhui Province in Qing Dynasty. His name is Jingyu, which is called xingzhai, and also called Nanzhen. He is the author of rang Cun Ji, Nanzhen Ji, and Nanzhen CI Xuan.

Profile

He Cai, a native of Tongcheng, Anhui Province, was named Jingyu, xingzhai and Nanzhen. In the sixth year of Shunzhi (1649) of the Qing Dynasty, he was a Jinshi and an official to the Imperial Academy. Article calligraphy, for a time the crown of CI minister. He is the author of rang Cun Ji, Nan Zhen Ji and Nan Zhen CI Xuan. Note: Jin (fourth tone).

Life experience

In Tongcheng of Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many sages. < br > Mr. He CAI of Tongcheng quietly retired to a certain corner of history. He has a good hand in writing, so he is occasionally talked about by others, but there are not many stories, and even his life can be mistaken. In a book in Taiwan, it is said that he is the son of Ho Ruo Chong (calligraphy exhibition in late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, literati volume, p196). He ruchong, the Minister of rites of Chongzhen, was named as loyal and filial. It is said in the 136th biography of Ming history. He died in 1642, 73. In his twenties, he Cai became a scholar in 1649, the sixth year of Shunzhi; in his thirties, he Cai was already in the world.
Cai is a grandson who has seen a big situation since childhood. Isn't it? Without the rendering of gaoxuanyutang, how can we talk about the indifference on the river and under the forest. This is a rather thought-provoking topic. Therefore, there are not many people who can know, understand, experience and feel mining.
History records a related episode. In the winter of 1653, Mr. Wu Meicun Weiye was called to the capital, a big political cage with no distinction between right and wrong. He lived there for eight months without any support, sound or information. He Cai, who is now here, is just a new high-ranking official in the imperial court. He Cai, who lives in the office of "making letters, speaking and reading of attendants" (he Cai has a seal like this), wants to be a fast horse in the spring breeze.
Meicun met CAI. This younger generation gave Meicun a sense of knowing and meeting in all kinds of helplessness. They talked about speculation and chatted freely. From the poem "complete works of Wumei village - send to He Sheng Zhai", we can catch this plot.
Faced with the general ignorance of the whole society, the extreme darkness of the officialdom and the imperial court, and seeing Mr. Meicun, a man of great talent, mourning for the caged birds day and night, this "colleague he Lang" resolutely put forward a good assumption to Mr. Meicun: let me accompany him to retire and fly away. After listening to this, Meicun is full of feelings and wants to cry without tears. He Lang, Ho Lang, how can you know that my life is no longer my own!
"In the past, it was a crane in the clouds, flying in nine high places; now it is a horse under the yuan, a long and cramped catalpa If you are sincere and good, I will make a decision. It's always deep in the world, but it's easy to know and beg. "
Fly to you, he Lang, you and I will "go to each side, the end of the world is haggard." (farewell to Ho Sheng Zhai) < br > at the age of 30, Cai really flew away and walked away from the noisy, dark, dazzling and cunning field of fame and wealth. Since then, Cai's figure has almost disappeared from the stage of history, and his rare ink is still singing the immortal story.
He Cai was born in Fushan, Tongcheng, Anhui Province. He Cai is a Hushan family who is harmonious with the wind and culture. Wang Shizhen once wrote an account of his younger generation in his article "Ji Fang Xiang Xian": "Yun He CAI in Chunfang, the fifth character, is from Tongcheng, the grandson of Wen Duangong, the Prime Minister of the state, and Ying Huangzi, the prefect of Huangzhou. In calligraphy, poetry is also famous, but it is easy to curse and ridicule. In the Imperial Academy, it is called "frivolous".

Calligraphy

There is a calligraphy work of he CAI in Tiandu building. The first seal is "Fushan people". Its initial word is Diyuan, a word is guaiyu, which is called shengzhai and Nanjian. The author has seen the nickname of "Dongtian qiaoke, Nanjian yuweng" in his works. In March 2004, the author saw the album written by he Caishu at the ancient calligraphy and painting auction of Beijing Zhongmao Shengjia auction company, which was stamped with a small seal of Zhu Wen: "I'm ugly.". In 1649, he didn't find the ugliness in his first six years. In the "Ming and Qing Dynasty Jinshi nomination monument", he ranked the 15th in the second place, and his life experience changed accordingly, and his native Jiangning became a native of Nanjing. Therefore, some books said that he was from Nanjing. In the 12th year of Shunzhi (1655), he was appointed as the examiners in charge of literature, history and political consultation. Therefore, he Cai's retirement career should begin before Kangxi.
I don't admire princes, nor covet fame. From ancient times to the present, how many immortal Yishi can be so real.
He Caigong's poems and essays include "let Village Collection", "Nanjian collection", "Nanjian CI anthology" and so on. In the past ten years, the author has seen no more than ten pieces of handed down ink. There are two kinds of handwriting in Tiandu building. One of them is "book to Mr. xuan'an" which was obtained in Shanghai in 1999. It is probably the most representative of his handwriting. It is an excerpt of Zhu suiliang's "calligraphy with master". The full text is: it is very comforting to inherit master's Tao style and live in peace. Long abandoned dust dross, and Maitreya with niche, a food qingzhai. At six o'clock chanting, the result has come, and there will be no turning back. It is 164 cm in length and 50 cm in width. It is made of silk and has no chronology. The third seal is "Fushan people" at the beginning. Two small seals in the lower right are "Fushan disciple Jianzhi" and "Yizi guaiya". From the scale of using seal, we can see its informal attitude. And the seal of "Fushan disciple Jianzhi" is rather thought-provoking.
Fu Shan was born in 1607, about ten years older than he Cai. What is the relationship between them? There is no doubt that he Cai faced Fu Shan with the courtesy of his disciples; it is a distinct spiritual tendency to show his admiration for Fu Shan's scenery with seals in his works; he Cai measured and demanded himself according to the standards of Fu Shan's disciples.
There is no doubt that "a book to Mr. xuan'an" is indeed a continuation and publicity of Fu Shan and the charm of his book. Its body, breath, audacity, mystery and even trampling all lead to the gloomy and relaxing style of Fu Shan and the expansion of precipitation. It is a kind of Oriental nobility, a panoramic record of the artistic process; what is more wonderful is that it is not a pitiful copy of Fu Shan's image or a numb ancestor, but an attempt to use words to explain that it has been unable to achieve, transcending the concept and harmonizing the realm of emotion; it is a tacit understanding between heaven and man; it is a kind of human myth with emotion and intention, unable and without heaven; it is a kind of human myth The so-called "art" can point to and reveal the most noble realm.
The collection of he Cai's works is not very rich, which can be seen as follows: one axis of "seven unique poems in running script" by Tianjin Art Museum; one axis of "seven unique poems in running script" by Jingdezhen Museum of Jiangxi Province; one fan of "poem in running script" by the Palace Museum; one piece of "running script in Pavilion" by he Chuangshi calligraphy foundation of Taiwan; and none of his works have been found in Anhui Provincial Museum The collection of goods.
From the author's humble experience, Zhou yueyun's comments on he Cai's Xingshu linge tie are of comprehensive and representative significance: "you have Huating (Dong Qichang) style, natural and unrestrained, gentle and graceful, elegant and meaningful in shape, pure and ancient in spirit, such as a feather flying immortal, few of the world's fireworks charm" (calligraphy exhibition of late Ming and early Qing Dynasty · Wen) It's a human roll. The collection of Tiandu building: 1. The vertical scroll of the Ling edition given by he Caishu of Qing Dynasty to Weng Ling of Fudan old man (Fig. 1); 2. The vertical scroll of the Ling edition given by he Caishu of Qing Dynasty to Mr. xuanhui (Fig. 2)
