Qi Gong. Mr. Qi Gong's anecdotes in life are humorous and warm, spicy and moving, and the image of Mr. Qi Gong, a master of Chinese culture, is vivid in the micro-film.
Because he has to come into contact with all kinds of characters in life, some of them he likes and some he doesn't like, but no matter what kind of characters, Qi Gong can easily maneuver and deal with them skillfully. casually offer a small paragraph, easily resolve the embarrassment, and can make people smile, warm people's hearts, and have no shelf.
A collection of humorous jokes from Qi Gong.
Escort. Since the 90s of the last century, some leaders have been elegant, traveling or participating in some activities, and they like to bring poets, calligraphers and painters to accompany them. Or ask the gentleman, "What do you mean?"He replied: "Yes, this is called 'three companion poems, calligraphy and paintings'." ”
Question: "If you want to use these five words as an upper link, please plan to write a lower link." Mr. Swift to Zhiyun: "Sweep away drugs and gambling pornography." The questioner was surprised and asked, "What is the solution?"”
Mr. Naizheng said: "This matter can also become addictive for a long time, and it is also harmful to individuals and society, and my generation can not quit it!."”
There is no hurry. After Qi Gong was appointed as the "Director of the ** Cultural and Historical Research Museum", some people congratulated him and said that this is a "ministerial level". Qi Gong used homophony to humorously say: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I'm really not in a hurry!."”
The minister flew the plane.
The Chinese Calligraphy Association was re-elected, and Mr. Qi Gong recommended a certain gentleman to take the position. Someone was puzzled and asked him, "Can Mr. So-and-so write?"Mr. Qi asked rhetorically: "Will the minister of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry fly an airplane?"”
Nonsense. When Qi Gong went out to give a lecture, he heard the presiding officer of the conference often say, "Now please ask Qi Lao to give instructions", and his next words were: "I dare not give instructions." I am a Manchu, my ancestors are active in the Northeast, I am an ethnic minority, and I am known in history'Hu people'. Therefore, what I said below is all out-and-out 'nonsense' ......
It doesn't cost anything.
Mr. and a friend went to Wuxi for a tour, and the friend bought a pair of silk to wear, and said to Mr.: "Although it is very expensive, it is really comfortable to wear, it is so light, and it is the same as not wearing it." ”
The gentleman replied, "I can get this effect without spending any money." ”
The Seal of Fall. Once, after Mr. inscribed for others, he wrote and used the seal as usual, but the seal was reversed, and the onlookers all regretted it, and it was inconvenient to ask Mr. to rewrite it, so he had to comfort: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
The gentleman smiled but did not answer, and picked up the pen and added a line of small words next to the seal: "The small seal is reversed, and the cover table is also the meaning of the master." So he sat down and rejoiced.
Hang up and dress up.
Mr. Zeng Yun: The best way to test the level of calligraphers and painters is to "hang up" his works. This is like testing a Peking Opera actor, the best way is to "play up" for him, whether he is enough to "play a role", you can see it as soon as you play it;Whether it is a calligrapher or not, you can see it as soon as you hang it.
Clever penmanship.
When Mr. Qi Gong was lecturing, someone once handed a note asking for advice on the relationship between penmanship and the merits of calligraphy. Mr. said: "It is the most difficult to convince people to judge calligraphy with a pen." For example, when you buy steamed buns on the street, you only look at the quality of the steamed buns, regardless of whether the cook is standing or sitting and pinching, whether it is pinched with five fingers or four fingersThe cook came out and said, 'Sometimes standing, sometimes sitting, I pinch the folds with the three fingers of my left hand,' do you still want to buy it?'The bun pinched with the three fingers of the left hand is not fragrant immediatelyLet's first figure out whether to eat steamed buns or craftsmanship?Whether you hold the tube with four fingers or five fingers, each has its own reasoning, but in the end, it depends on the level of the work. ”
Work on pen and paper.
Some people ask the question of "choosing no pen and paper" and "whether you need to use good pen and paper to produce good works".
Mr. Qi Gong said: "Good paper and pen may be helpful, but not absolutely. Historically, many national treasure-level calligraphy and paintings were not written with the green and musk jade dragon plate (pen, ink, paper, and inkstone) at that time. Working paper and pen, it is better to focus on your internal and external skills, one is to learn and the other is to sharpen. I haven't heard that you have to go to the Temple of Heaven to hang your throat, right?I practiced leg press in that theater troupe, and I didn't hear that gold bricks were going to be used?......When the kung fu arrives, it's time to officially debut, and it's not impossible to buy a nod to it. But you can't go on stage and smash the play brand, and say to the audience, 'You can't sing well, Mei Lanfang used it', does it work?”
Bird. When relatives and friends saw Mr. Qigong, they always asked with concern, "How are you doing lately?"He often replied, "The bird is gone." ”
What is a bird?”
The gentleman replied with a smile, "It's almost gone!"”
Do not dial "self-pouring".
On the campus of Beijing Normal University, teachers and students respectfully call him "doctoral supervisor". Doctoral supervisor Qi Gong said with a smile: "The old decay is dying, and it will fall when it is dialed, and it will fall when it is refuted, I am 'downed', not 'self-poured'!"”
You're cold, I'm not cold.
After the death of Mr. Zhao, Mr. Gong recommended Mr. Gong to serve as the president. In a certain year, the Printing Society held a regular meeting, and Mr. and a leader of the Chinese Calligraphy Association attended the meeting. At the meeting, Mr. Speech naturally repeatedly mentioned how "Xiling (líng)" was, but unexpectedly, the leader of the calligraphy association kindly "corrected" Mr. on the side, and whispered: "It's 'Xileng (líng)." "As everyone knows, my own culture is not bad enough. After hearing this, Qi Gong responded: "You are cold, I am not cold." ”
I didn't find an inscription in the public toilet.
After his calligraphy became famous and popular all over the country, his inscriptions were everywhere, and they could be seen everywhere in institutions, schools, shops, and scenic spots. Some very small units also asked for Mr. inscriptions, in order to strengthen the prestige, and counterfeit inscriptions followed. Mr. Ran said: "My favorite topic is still restaurants and restaurants, and I can always take the opportunity to eat them for a meal or two." He sighed to himself: "I didn't find an inscription in the public toilet." ”
Ferment. At half past eight in the morning, a friend went to Mr. Qi's place and saw him sitting on a single sofa eating breakfast. There were no socks on his feet, and his ankles were obviously a little swollen, so when he saw his friend coming in, he slowly raised his hand to greet him. A friend asked Mr. about his feet, and he said, "It's fermenting." ”
Among the many titles, he is the least "calligrapher", the words are not as good as paintings, and the paintings are not as good as cultural relics identification. With his status and qualifications as the chairman of the National Association of Calligraphers at the time, especially his actual reputation in the calligraphy world and society, his application for approval was completely deserved, but the old gentleman insisted on "standing still", saying that he didn't even know what a doctor of calligraphy was, so how could he guide others to become doctors?As a result, he did not declare until his death, and he was willing to let others take the lead and apply for the country's first (and probably only) calligraphy doctoral program. Mr. Qi Gong often admonished his students that it is the duty of a scholar to write well, and there is nothing special about itOn the contrary, a person can only write, and no matter how well he writes, it is not enough. On the eve of the meeting, he and Xu Chao, a professor at Shandong University (also a calligrapher), came to see me (they were classmates and students I taught), and the first thing they said was "Mr. Zhang, I can only write" now. After saying that, we all laughed heartily, because we all knew Mr. Qigong's views and admonitions. When he says this, he is humble and confident, and maybe a little self-mocking. 
He didn't "cherish" his "Mobao" because he didn't "cherish" his "Mobao" because he didn't see writing or "calligraphy" as something great, and Mr. Qigong didn't "cherish" his "Mobao" very much, to the point that whoever asked him to write would write. Needless to say, the organization leaders gave him tasks, such as sometimes "locking" him in the state guesthouse to write for the Great Hall, writing congratulatory messages for the retirement of the older generation of revolutionaries, and school leaders organizing a group to visit him to let him write and frame and give gifts, etc., he is conscientious and conscientiously completed. Ordinary people asked him to write, and he almost did everything he wanted. On the campus of Beijing Normal University, there are ...... teaching buildings, scientific research buildings, service buildings, halls, attached middle schools and primary schools, and residential buildings in the family areaHis inscriptions are everywhere. Even outside the school and even in other places, his ink can also be seen on the plaques and couplets of many units, shops, Taoist temples, and places of interest. He once half-jokingly said, "It's just that the public toilet hasn't been inscribed yet." ”
In his early years, he was trapped in a cold house in Hinayana Lane, and most of the neighbors around him were "leading the car and selling pulp", and came over to say something, or took two flatbreads to eat with him, and then said, "Lao Qi, write a word!.""No one has ever been rejected. After the "Cultural Revolution", Mr. Wang's situation improved and he lived in the small red building in the compound of the Normal University. Some of the teachers and staff in the school, including the driver who approached Mr. Guo, and the workers who repaired the water and water pipes, many of them had one or two of his ink treasures in their hands. I am fortunate to have a few of his characters in my hand, and I also ask for his calligraphy on behalf of my classmates, students, and friends. At that time (in the seventies and eighties of the last century), he was not too old, and his teaching work and social activities were not as much as later, and he was not as busy as he was later, and he did not know as many people who came to ask for writing. He was willing to write, and sometimes he would ask if he wanted to write another one for whom. Soon after the little girl entered elementary school, he wrote Dou Fang with red sprinkled gold paper, and wrote four big characters of "endless learning" (Mr. generally rarely writes such big characters), and wrote the word "classmate" under the name of the little girl when the inscription was made, I was both happy and uneasy. Instead, he smiled and explained: "Classmates, classmates, it's what a classmate Xi means!."”
The person who comes to ask for words has a bit of a background, he will categorically refuse to write "Yifu Building" to write and only write "Rabbit Building", however, Mr. Qi also has a time when it is not easy to speak, or the person who comes to ask for words has a bit of a background, plays a big name, or the content of the writing involves his Manchu origin, he will be unceremonious and categorically refuse. Once, a certain air force commander sent a secretary to ask for a letter, and he asked: "If I don't write it, will you send planes to bomb me?"The secretary was stunned for a moment, and even said, "How come, how come!."He immediately straightened up and said, "Then I won't write it." "It made the secretary very boring. Again, the famous Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang filmed the movies "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", and asked someone to ask for the title of the title, but Mr. categorically refused. Afterwards, he said to me: "He filmed a Qing palace scene, why did he ask me to title the title?."Just because I'm royalty too?That's not something I can choose!Another time, a student he taught who worked in a county in northeastern China was marked as a "rightist" in 1957 After being rehabilitated and corrected, he served as the chairman of the county CPPCC, because the county was the hometown of a concubine of the last emperor Puyi, and the county wanted to reorganize the tomb of the imperial concubine for tourism development, and the student probably felt that he and Mr. Qi were teachers and students, and they were friends in 1957, and Mr. was also a Manchu royal family, so he went to Beijing with confidence to ask Mr. to write an inscription for the tomb of the imperial concubine. Some people say that Mr. has been criticized and pressured for decades because he was born in the royal family, so he does not want to touch the wound again. This may be a reason, but I think the more important reason is that he doesn't want to be touched by the "ancestral shadow" because of the royal family, otherwise, in the past twenty or thirty years, the royal family and nobles have been in the limelight, and some people who are related to their relatives and even can't beat them, in order to get a member of the committee, at least to glorify their lintel, they are eager to squeeze out some royal blood from their bodies, only Mr. Qi on the contrary, he doesn't even want to say that his surname is "Aixin Jueluo", and he has always said that his "surname is Qiminggong", which is called "Qigong". Lanting Shengmo.
Praise 9 There are also some big hotels and hotels that ask him to write plaques, usually he agrees, only the hotels and hotels named "Emgrand" and "Huangdu" ask him to write, and he resolutely refuses. It can be seen from this that this is not only because he has been criticized and oppressed in the past, but more importantly, because he insists on his independent personality and the true democratic ideology and spirit that stands among the masses of the people. Another time was the completion of the new library of Beijing Normal University, which was donated by Mr. Run Run Shaw, a Hong Kong patriot. Mr. Shao has donated money to many schools to build buildings, but only half of the total funding has been donated, and the other half has to be allocated by the state from education funds. Of course, this is also a form of donation, which does promote and play a practical role in promoting the country's emphasis on education. According to Mr. Shao's request, the building should be named "Shaw Building" after completion. Of course, this "Shaw Building" of Beijing Normal University had to be inscribed by Mr. Qi Gong, because Mr. Qi Gong is a master of the University, a calligrapher, and has a high reputation in the Hong Kong cultural circles, so he likes Mr. Qi's handwriting. Unexpectedly, Mr. resolutely refused to write these three words, saying: Mr. Shao only contributed half of the money, how can he name the entire building after him?Afterwards, he said to me below: "If you want to write, you can only take half of his (Shaw) name, which is 'Rabbit Building'." He laughed. When I listened to it, I really admired his old gentleman's wisdom and humor, and even more admired his integrity as an old intellectual!
Elected as the chairman of the calligraphy association, he said that this was a "trial in absentia" For the chaos in the calligraphy world, he was very worried and dissatisfied with Mr. Qigong's long-term leadership of the calligraphers association: when the association was first established, he was the vice chairman of the calligraphy association, and was elected as the chairman in the second session, and later became the honorary chairman. He cared about the work of the association and hoped that the calligraphy industry would be free from the erosion of commoditization and bureaucratization. But he also knew very well that in the face of the increasingly serious unhealthy tendencies and even the miasma of smoke in the calligraphy world, he was powerless and could not play much role, so he was very helpless. In 1985, the second congress of the All-China Calligraphy Association was held, and he did not attend it due to illnessBut he was elected president of the Calligraphers Association by the Congress. Later, I went to see him, and when I talked about it, he said that he had been "tried in absentia." He also told me some of the circumstances of the meeting, saying that the competition for the director and chairman of the meeting was very fierce, because with the name, the word is easy to sell for money, and the name level is different, the selling price is different, and the head of the Central Propaganda Department had to order an increase in security, and the representatives are not allowed to collude and contactSome people even asked their wives to canvass for votes, saying something like "If you don't choose so-and-so in our family, he won't be able to live" and so on. After that, he asked me, "You say, is this interesting?"”
Mr. Qi Gong is very worried and dissatisfied with the chaos in the calligraphy world, the poor cultural quality of some "calligraphers", the enthusiasm for activities and drills, the money in charge, and the first "Runge". Once I went to Sichuan for a meeting, after the meeting, the Propaganda Department of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee (at that time, Chongqing had not yet been separated from Sichuan to form a municipality directly under the central government) invited some of the delegates to visit the Dazu rock carvings, including Tang Tao, Wang Yao, Ye Junjian, and a vice chairman of the All-China Calligraphy Association. Before entering the scenic spot, the reception staff asked everyone to write an inscription. All the gentlemen were in high spirits and wrote with a pen. The vice chairman of the calligraphy association was also full of energy, and he wrote two lines of words with a splash of ink, which was: Look at stone carvings in the townshipA new generation of wind is passed on to future generations. These two sentences are neither incompatible, nor very comprehensible, they are really nondescript, and I am deeply impressed. Later, when I returned to Beijing, I saw the plaque inscribed by this master for a ** company on Xidan Street, and put an extra horizontal in the middle of "Yi", "Day" and "Don't", and Bai Sensen is a single word.
When I told Mr. Qi about these two things, he shook his head slightly and said, "These people have a poor cultural background, and they like to show off and show off everywhere. He also told me that there was a well-known "calligrapher" who wrote ugly characters and even said everywhere, "The harder the handwriting is, the better." "I made an incredible look at it!Mr. Qi's handwriting style is delicate and bright, elegant and vulgar, and is very popular. But there is still a "controversy" in the calligraphy world. Originally, radish and cabbage have their own loves, different aesthetics, and naturally different views, which is very normal. However, some people not only did not buy his account, saying that his words were "pavilion style", which was not worthy of high view, wantonly belittled, and even viciously attacked. One day I went to his house, and as soon as I met the old gentleman, he told me that he had received an anonymous letter, which was a sentence: "Good news for you, an old man who specializes in writing about pavilions is dead!."After saying that, he was really a little indignant, and even said: "What words!."What words!Obviously, this is no longer a gateway view, a factional dispute, this is obviously that some "peers" are jealous of him, resentful of him, think that his words are popular, loved by people, squeeze the market, hinder their swagger, and block their financial routes. It's incredible!Mr. Qi doesn't cherish his own words very much, how can he "squeeze the market" and block people's financial routes?
The counterfeiting situation is very clear, he never cares about "the good writing is fake, the bad writing is true" For a long time, Mr. Qi Gong's words do bloom everywhere, overwhelming, and even counterfeit Mr. Qi Gong's words are also flooded with the calligraphy and painting market, (interestingly, other calligraphers' words are few or even no artificial fakes, which can only show that Mr. Qi's words are liked by everyone, the masses love, and there is a market) He treats them with a generous and benevolent heart. I once went to Panjiayuan, and saw that there were stacks of fake Qigong characters, which were not framed or put on the shelves, so they were placed on the open-air stalls and asked for the price, five yuan a piece, ten yuan for three. Of course, the handwriting is not very good, but it is still a little interesting, and the Mengmeng people may be okay. The stall owner told me bluntly that it was purchased from a retired primary school teacher in Daxing at a cost of one to two yuan a piece. I have also seen such scattered fakes in Liulichang, and the price is slightly more expensive than that of Panjiayuan, because it is placed in the house, and it should be counted as the rent of the shop. In a large store not far away, I also saw a well-framed banner with the signature of Qi Gong hanging in a conspicuous position, and at first glance it was really impossible to distinguish it as a genuine fake, with a price tag of 5,000 yuan. This was nearly 20 years ago, and Mr. Qi Gong was still alive at that time, and although the price was not very high, it was not low. When I looked closely, I didn't feel like it was genuine. I deliberately asked the counter owner if it was true, and he probably thought I was aware of it, and replied, "You don't care if it's genuine, just buy it if you think it's good."Besides, what kind of good goods do you want to buy for 5,000 yuan?I think that's what he said, but according to intellectual property law and consumer rights protection, he not only harms the rights and interests of the author, but also harms the rights and interests of the buyer.
Mr. Qi was well aware of these situations, but he never bothered with them. Some people were upset for him, instigated and instigated him to fight fakes, but he said, "People are also here to eat, so why don't you let people make a little money!"Later, when he was asked how he could tell if his words were true or false, he said, "What is well written is fake, and what is badly written is true." Of course, this is a joke, but he says that it is not quite true, because the counterfeiter writes very seriously in order not to be recognized, and it is more casual and relaxed to write himself, which is not as good as what others write. On the other hand, in the calligraphy world over the years, the chaos has not only not improved, but seems to be even worse. Two years ago, I visited a private brush museum in the southern pen capital, and the owner told me that a calligrapher and his wife had just come to visit, and he invited the calligrapher to write an inscription"In the minds of these calligraphers, writing is printing money, and calligraphy is selling money, and it is asking for cash. Many years ago, it was rumored that a certain provincial calligraphy association in the south (not the Shaanxi Provincial Calligraphy Association recently disclosed) elected a number of chairmen and vice chairmen, and also publicly marked the different price codes of the chairman, vice chairman, executive director, and director titles. In recent years, there have been reports of bribery, fake shooting, coaxing, whitewashing, and ......briberyAll kinds of rumors are inseparable from the word "money". Qian Qian Qian, such a "calligrapher" who is obsessed with money, such a "calligraphy" full of copper smell, isn't it a blasphemy of "art"?However, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is not easy to fundamentally change the situation, and then maybe you will have to take a dose of fierce medicine - dissolve the calligraphy association, revoke the "calligrapher" crown, and let everyone rely on real skills and real kung fu to eat, instead of relying on titles and ranks to fool around. In the calligraphy world, there can really be a clean and upright situation that Mr. Qigong expects, and the old man can also feel comfortable under Jiuquan, and readily admit that he is also a "calligrapher".
