What is plum blossom seal?

The development of plum blossom seal script has a long history. As early as Shang dynasty, ancient pottery was engraved with plum hieroglyphics. In the Han dynasty, plum blossom seal script became a good collection. Its development experienced the ups and downs of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. This splendid folk art soul treasure is gradually unknown, and even fewer people can write plum blossom seal script. It is characterized by "looking at a flower from a distance and looking at a word from a distance, there are words in the flower, hidden flowers in the word, and the combination of flowers and words makes the font strong and powerful". The ancient people's habit of loving Mei Ci was given.

The profound and elegant cultural connotation of "Plum Blossom Seal" also makes it a living fossil for studying China's ancient calligraphy. The hieroglyphics of plum blossom were found on the ancient pottery unearthed in Shang Dynasty in China. By the Han dynasty, plum blossom seal has become a good product for people to appreciate and collect Tibetan. At that time, Lin Hejing, a famous calligrapher, left a famous post of "Saving Bows and Training Pang Zengkang". After Li Shimin ascended the throne in the Tang Dynasty, there was a plum blossom thief in Chang 'an, and the imperial seal in the palace was stolen, leaving three plum blossoms at the scene. The case is still pending. In a rage, the emperor arrested and beheaded all the artists in the country who could write plum blossom seal script. Later, the pictures and materials for the Hong Kong auction were hidden at home? In order to avoid being killed, the man who sealed the plum blossom character set it on fire. It was not until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties that plum blossom seal script was rediscovered. Because there are not many people who can distinguish seal script, and plum blossom embellishment is even more difficult to understand, it has always been full of mystery. There are not many records about it in history, most of which are folklore. China's earliest plum blossom works were in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Zhang Sengyou's Map of Yongmei, Song Xueyan's Plum Blossom and the Western Shenpu, Shen Xiang's Plum Blossom Blossom Blossom in Ming Dynasty, Badashanren and Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, and even Wu Changshuo and Xu Beihong in modern times all have historical records. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin, a great traitor who was considered as one of the top ten sinners in history, was able to write with both hands. Other records appeared in folklore or novels. The folk song "Yang Jiajiang" was reviewed by Pan Hong in the evening, and it was mentioned that Kou Zhun could write; The Romance of the Three Kingdoms also mentioned that the old lady Xu Shu could also write; The quintessence of Beijing Opera "Chen Sanliang's Coming to the Hall"

Chen Sanliang can also write with both hands.

2065438+2005 1 24th, Su Gong's embroidered version of Plum Blossom Seal Script appeared. Plum blossoms are engraved on Hetian jade wares.

Wang Hongjun, a plum blossom master, is in Japan.

Fold and edit this passage of Li Shuping.

Chen Sanliang, formerly known as Li Shuping, is recognized as a master of plum blossom seal script in the industry. Originally from Lijiazhai Village, xindian town, Huimin County, Shandong Province, she was the daughter of Li Jingjiu, a Zheng De juren in Ming Dynasty. Li Jingjiu and his wife were murdered by eunuch Liu Jin, and later she was named Chen Sanliang anonymously. "Chen Sanliang" not only writes well, but also writes plum blossom seal with both hands. At that time, all the counties around Wuding were well known. She is charitable and has a good reputation. She once took Chen Kui, a poor scholar, as her righteous brother, took out private money to help Chen Kui eat and live, and personally taught him to read and write. Later, Chen Kui won the first prize. In his later years, "Chen Sanliang" used his savings to set up a "welfare home" and adopted many orphans. One of the children named Guo is very clever. "Chen Sanliang" not only taught him to read and write, but also taught himself "Plum blossom seal script". "Chen Sanliang" is a master of plum blossom seal script. After seven or eight years' careful teaching, Plum Blossom Seal Script won the true biography of this child under the irradiation of purple light at night. When he grew up, he walked out of the welfare home. He used the plum blossom seal calligraphy skills he learned, walked around the streets and made a living by selling words, and passed this calligraphy art on from generation to generation. Chen Sanliang died at the age of 84. It was about three miles from Fuchun Hospital at that time to her cemetery on the outskirts of Dongguan. Hundreds of mourners came spontaneously. This child surnamed Guo not only personally goes to the funeral for Chen Sanliang, but also goes to the grave to pay homage every New Year's Day, which is filial. The story of "Chen Sanliang" was also put on the stage of film and television and drama after his death, and was sung through various operas such as Beijing Opera, Puju Opera, Quju Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera and Hebei Bangzi.

Folding Guo Jingzhai

When Guo spread "Plum Blossom Seal" to the twelve grandchildren Guo Jingzhai and Wenshan, he made a living by selling calligraphy and painting because of the war in the Republic of China. One year, Guo Jingzhai came to the streets of Qixian, an ancient city in the Central Plains, and stood hungry for three days. Nobody cares, and nobody pays. At that time, people didn't have enough to eat and put on clothes. How can they have leisure and elegance to buy calligraphy and paintings and hang them at home to enjoy them? Guo Jingzhai, who had nowhere to hide that night, hid under the eaves of the Wangs' gate and was frozen out at night.

The Records of Qixian Town records the historical origin of plum blossom seal script. Mr. Wang Congbin opened the door in the morning, only to find a middle-aged man curled up in front of the door and fainted with cold. He quickly called his family, carried the middle-aged man to the bed, covered him with clothes and cooked medicine for him. The middle-aged man woke up slowly. Guo Jingzhai didn't know why until he woke up. I learned that the rescuer's name was Wang Congbin, and his family was rich. He studied in a private school and later worked as a local teacher. He is also a scholar, and the two chatted very speculatively. In order to repay Wang Congbin for saving his life, Guo Jingzhai decided to teach him the "plum blossom seal" that his ancestors learned from Chen Sanliang. Wang Congbin was very happy to hear this. He worked with Guo Jingzhai every day and devoted himself to his studies. Six months later, Wang Congbin's plum blossom seal cutting skills have been superb and fluent, and Guo Jingzhai has left home.

Folding Wang Congbin

In order to repay Mr. Wang for saving his life, Guo Jingzhai taught all the ancestral writing methods of plum blossom seal script to Wang Congbin. And told him that this plum blossom seal was handed down by his ancestors, who had worshipped Chen Sanliang as a teacher to learn this technique. Although the Guo family is not valued by the world, it is regarded as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation. Mr. Wang Congbin is not a flamboyant person. After learning plum blossom seal script, he seldom showed it to others. He only amused himself by writing a few pictures in his spare time, and never received an apprentice to teach art. In the 1970s, Wang Congbin, who was old, felt that he could not lose the plum blossom seal script he had written for most of his life and had to find a suitable candidate to pass it on. He thought his nephew Wang Hongjun was clever and studious since he was a child, so he called him to his side and spoke his mind.

Folding Wang Hongjun

Wang Hongjun Wang Hongjun attended the China Spirit Seminar at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. In the early 1960s, he was born in a village in Qixian County, the ancient city of Suzhou. When Mr. Jun Hong was young, my father was baptized by the wind and rain of the Cultural Revolution and was penniless. 1May, 980, taught by his father to teach himself medicine. I have contracted 12 mu of land, but I like painting and scribble everywhere. Uncle Wang Congbin, who is separated by a wall, is an old man, frail and sick, and his children are not around. Jun Hong, Jr. often helps the elderly to fetch water and sweep the yard, cutting wheat and planting beans in the fields, and he is very busy. Mr. Wang Congbin saw that little Jun Hong was very talented and liked to write and draw. Finally, one day, he pulled Xiao Hongjun into the room and said, "Honger, uncle taught you to write plum blossom seal script." Jun Hong Jr. danced with joy and was ecstatic. At this time, shortly after the end of the "Cultural Revolution", Wang Hongjun, who was already in the year of dancing spoon, formally worshipped Mr. Wang Congbin as a teacher and studied plum blossom seal script for more than 30 years.

Wang Hongjun lived up to his uncle's pains. Under the careful guidance of the old man, his calligraphy level has improved rapidly. In a few years, he mastered the essentials of writing plum blossom seal script, entered the university with this exquisite art, and then embarked on a job. He is already the backbone policeman of the Public Security Bureau of Suzhou City, Anhui Province.

Suzhou Anti-drug Publicity Day took a group photo with the director.

Still very busy, studying calligraphy skills hard. Wang Hongjun's "Plum blossom seal script" is based on seal script, which embeds plum blossom into characters, so that seal script and plum blossom are skillfully integrated, achieving the unique artistic effect of "from a distance, there are characters in flowers, flowers are hidden in characters, and flowers and characters are integrated". He is determined to study Chen Sanliang's plum blossom seal script deeply, innovate constantly, and strive to show the beauty of charm in his works, from emotion to painting, from beauty to flowers. Make greater contributions to promoting Chinese traditional culture and art and enriching social and cultural life. Shi Tao, a master of the Qing Dynasty, said that pen and ink should follow the times. Mr Jun Hong learns from his predecessors with an open mind. He is comprehensive, diligent and eager to learn, focusing on seeing a doctor, practicing calligraphy in his spare time, and farming in busy farming hours. For decades, he has been innovating constantly. He absorbed the essence of traditional plum blossom seal script and integrated it into modern aesthetic taste. He transformed the unfamiliar seal script characters into easily recognizable modern Chinese characters, interspersed plum branches between the lines, and then scattered or dense around the seal script characters in his book. Mr. and Mrs. Wang Hongjun took photos with Chen Yulan and Li Fang at the press conference. In order to paint plum blossoms well, Mr. Jun Hong went deep into his life, and at the same time learned nutrition from China's traditional painting art, learning from the past without mud. Pushing the art of plum blossom seal script to the peak, his works of art are more and more loved by people, and people seeking paintings are in an endless stream.

Some of Mr. Jun Hong's works were exhibited and collected in the Great Hall of the People, Louvre Museum and Vienna Exhibition Hall. Wang Hongjun and Taige (Zhu Zhiwen) take a group photo.
