Mr. He Guoqing, a collector from Taiwan, has been searching for the treasure in his heart since 1985 - the ink of the Ming Dynasty sages. In 1995, in order to commemorate his father, Mr. He founded the "He Chuangshi Calligraphy Association" in the name of his father, and today, he has collected more than 2,500 pieces of ink blots of historical and cultural celebrities in the Ming Dynasty, including dozens of fields such as Ming Dynasty ideology, politics, military, education, and art, and there are as many as 1,900 authors. His vocation was to "pass on the extinction of the sages".The calligraphy of the sages presents a visible history of the Ming Dynasty
Why do you have a soft spot for calligraphy?Mr. Ho confessed that he was influenced by his father. "After my father passed away, I found that he left a lot of calligraphy. I saw Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi" written by him, 'Ten years of life and death, I don't think about it, and I can't forget it......Then I realized that my father was missing my mother. Mr. Ho believes that his father benefited from calligraphy, and when no one was with him, he could express his emotions by writing the words of the ancients. Therefore, Mr. Ho set up his belief in promoting calligraphyHe feels that calligraphy is the best asset left by his ancestors to the Chinese, which includes literature, life, thought, and art
Why do you like the Ming Dynasty?Mr. He said, "The Ming Dynasty was not only emperors, nor were there only princes and generals, there were manyWonderful charactersFor example, Wang Shouren, Xu Guangqi, Li Shizhen, Li Rusong, Wang Shizhen, Xu Xiake, etc., these people have made outstanding achievements in different fields such as Sino-Western exchanges, science and technology, military, ideology, art, and culture, and it is difficult for future generations to look forward to them. The Ming Dynasty was an era of many masters

Wang Yangming's "Cursive Seven-Character Poem".
If this heart does not move, can this heart really not move?
Mr. He saw Wang Yangming's scroll at that time and found that the payment time was "Zhengde Jimao (1519) the fourth day of the lunar month".It was the most important year in Wang Yangming's life, and it was also a year of life and death。Later, Mr. Ho was also lucky to get this scroll of poems.
King Ning conspired for more than ten years, but raised troops to rebel in Nanchang in June of the 14th year of Zhengde (1519) ahead of schedule. With a small number of troops, Wang Yangming only spent forty-three days to quell King Ning's rebellion. Such a great achievement is not appreciated, but envied. Emperor Zhengde took the eunuch and the Jing army to the south, and the eunuch troubled Wang Yangming and asked him for King Ning's jewelry. Some people slandered in front of the emperor, causing him to be almost framed as one of King Chengning's henchmen. In the face of these sinister situations, Wang YangmingIt's hard to get through the pass, resolve the crisis with wisdom, and finally make the emperor believe in him. After the turmoil passed, Wang Yangming wrote this handscroll in the cold wax moon and Xunyang Zhou
Mr. He said that Wang Yangming has experienced many things, but in the face of this most important event in his life, the ups and downs of his mood are naturally revealed from the end of the pen. He wrote, "Dan's heart feels bitter for many years."The word "come" dragged on for a long time, almost three words in size, you can see how long that year was. The one in "Gray Hair from the Mirror".The word "fat" is also written very largeI feel like I see new gray hair in the mirror every day. This reminds me of Su Dongpo's "Cold Food Post", the words "broken stove" in "empty cooking of cold vegetables, broken stove burning wet reeds", and "crying poor road" in "also planning to cry poor, and can't afford to blow the ashes", are also written very big, making people feel his loss, it has been three years since he came to Huangzhou, and the kitchen is still the broken stove, it just happened that the spring rain fell again, when can he leave?
The mood can be reflected in calligraphy, just reading the script, you can't read the change in the mood of the book。Wang Yangming often said that "this heart does not move", when he faced the rebellion of the vassal king and all kinds of difficulties, there was the stability of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing color. But when he writes his poems on the boat, the ups and downs of that mood can no longer be hidden, perhaps this is why the printed body cannot replace the lyrical function of calligraphy.
Wang Yangming's "Book with Wang Ji".
was relegated to a low point in his life, but it became the starting point of his great career
Mr. He also has another calligraphy by Wang Yangming, which is a letter from Wang Ji, the imperial historian who inspected Guizhou, when he was demoted to Guizhou Longchang as a postman, which shows what kind of mentality Wang Yangming faced the adversity of his life.
The dragon field turned out to be a major setback in Wang Yangming's life. But he offended the great eunuch Liu Jin and was relegated to the miasma of Longchang, where he lived with the Miao people for two yearsInstead, it broke out of the cocoon and achieved the historical status of "Dragon Field Enlightenment".
He wrote this letter to thank Wang Ji for giving him the gift, and he said that he could not thank him in person because of the cold, so he asked the doorman to go and ask for the guilt first, and then find time to see him. The inscription "on the same day" indicates that he will reply immediately after receiving the gift, and these words also show his humility and sincerity to the recipient.
From the content of the letter, it can be seen that Wang Yangming has established a good interpersonal relationship in the local area, and has also accepted students and has his own academy. How did he do such a social relationship?From the font and wording of the entire letter, some clues can be seen. This letter is written in italicsEach character is a dignified stroke, showing a respectful attitude, which is rare in Wang Yangming's surviving calligraphy。This also made the other party feel his sincerity at first sight, which shows that Yang Ming's emotional intelligence is very high.
Mr. He felt that it was precisely because of this attitude that Wang Yangming was able to get along well with the Miao people in Longchang, quickly made friends, and had followers. He was able to go with the flow of difficult circumstances and treat everyone with humility and equality. After the suffering of the degrading dragon field, every part of his life after that was very exciting. Such a positive philosophy of life is worth learning from our modern people.
Zhang Juzheng's "Wenhua Palace's Lecture on the Great Treasure".
In the eyes of Liang Qichao, he was the only politician in the Ming Dynasty
Zhang Juzheng's fan was written in the fourth year of Wanli (1576), when he was the first assistant, assisting the 14-year-old Wanli Emperor and also giving lectures to the Wanli Emperor. The content of this character is to describe the situation of explaining the "Great Treasure Zhen" to the Wanli Emperor. "Da Bao Zhen" is a text written by Zhang Yun Gujin in the Tang Dynasty to Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the rules are the way of the king. Later, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty even personally wrote the sentence "Only one person rules the world, how can the world serve one person" in the "Great Treasure Zhen" as the couplet of the Palace of Nourishing the Heart. The sentence "Knee Builder Calmly Accepts Consultants" on this fan describes Zhang Juzheng's close conversation with Emperor Wanli, and Wanli humbly asked for advice, which shows that Zhang Juzheng has a good relationship with the emperor.
The recipient of the fan, "Rong Zhai", is the name of the eunuch Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong was the second eunuch in the palace at that time after Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng was born in the same year as Zhang Hong, and specially called him "the same discipline". Mr. He believes that writing a fan to the eunuch and using the title of "Tongji" to get closer to each other shows Zhang Juzheng's political wisdom and ability to deal with the world. In the system of the Ming Dynasty, government decrees could not be promoted without the assistance of eunuchs. In today's parlance, it's about teamwork. Many scholars in the Ming Dynasty were too high-minded and pushed the eunuchs to their opposite. Zhang Juzheng's success in implementing the "Wanli New Deal" is because he can unite the forces of all quarters
Mr. He believes that Zhang Juzheng's ability to be so generous is not only related to his personality, but also inseparable from his experience when he was young. Zhang Juzheng was precocious, and at the age of 12, he became a student of the supplementary government. Participating in the lifting examination in the coming year, Gu Luan, the governor of Huguang, believes that showing his edge too early is not conducive to the tempering of his mind, and it is not a good thing for Zhang Juzheng. Therefore, he specially instructed the imperial history in charge of the township examination not to admit Zhang Juzheng, and 3 years later, the 16-year-old Zhang Juzheng was admitted to the examination. In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547), the 23-year-old Zhang Juzheng was a jinshi in the Hanlin Academy for six years, saw the power struggle and the corruption of the court, and returned to his hometown to recuperate for 6 years before finally honing his heart. It is precisely because of these experiences that he later spent his time in the court under Yan Song's reign, and finally became the master and first assistant of the Wanli Emperor
Xu Guangqi, "The Book of the Crane of the Qin".
Without Xu Guangqi, there would be no Shanghai Xujiahui
Xu Guangqi's ink is rare, but Mr. Ho has collected two paintings in his many years of collecting career.
The title of the Qin Crane Gao Feng Book" is a collection of congratulatory messages written by a group of literati in Songjiang for him when he left office, and Xu Guangqi was also among them, which shows that he had a certain status in the Songjiang literati circle at that time. Today's Shanghai was only a county under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture at that time. Xu Guangqi signed the title of this poem "Xu Guangqi who was born late at sea", which shows that he had not yet been admitted to the Jinshi at that time.
It is rare that this booklet also includes the congratulatory poems of his teacher Huang Tiren. Xu Guangqi was 40 years old and was a junior scholar in the same year as his teacher Huang Tiren, who gave Xu Guangqi the opportunity to study at the Hanlin Academy. Xu Guangqi had known the missionary Matteo Ricci before, and then had the opportunity to get deeper into Western studies in the officialdom, and his later experiences were basically related to this
Xu Guang devoted his life to learning Western knowledge, and later became proficient in various majors such as almanac, astronomy, mathematics, water conservancy, agriculture, and military science. In order to try out the input of new varieties of crops,He opened up experimental farmland in his home in Shanghai, which is today's "Xujiahui".。In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli (1608), when the south of the Yangtze River was flooded, Xu Guangqi tried to plant sweet root and was very successful. He wrote "Gan Zhi Shu" to explain the thirteen benefits of Gan Zhi and introduced this crop to the imperial court, which can help the people of the world. It has been handed down to the present dayAgricultural Encyclopedia "Encyclopedia of Agricultural Administration"., is the brainchild of Xu Guangqi's lifelong practice. The Chongzhen Almanac, which he majored in, was revised and promulgated in the early Qing Dynasty, and gradually evolved into the "Peasant Calendar" that we still use today.
Xu Guangqi once said".If you want to be superb, you must be able to pass;Before the meeting, an interpreter is required。Therefore, he personally translated Western books, advocated mathematics, integrated Chinese and Western academics, and learned from each other's strengths to achieve the realm of transcendence. He upheld this spirit of attaching importance to practical learning, and was known as "".The first person to communicate Chinese and Western cultures
