Translation of Dongpo Painting Fan

Dongpo painting fan originated from He Yuan's Moon Hee in Spring and Su Shi's Biography of Lu Du and Biography of Southern Sichuan. Because when he was an official in Hangzhou, he wrote an inscription for the fan maker and painted on the fan, the fan was quickly sold, which solved the debt of the fan maker and showed his concern for the people. Later, it was compared to caring about the sufferings of the people and loving the people like children.

Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty was very compassionate. When he was an official in Hangzhou, a silk merchant once told a fan maker that he owed him 20 thousand silk money and would not pay it back. The craftsman said, "My father died not long ago and spent a sum of money. It has been rainy and cold for several days in Hangzhou this year. Nobody bought a fan, so I can't pay for it for the time being. " Su Shi thought for a long time, asked the craftsman to go home and bring the fans, picked out 20 folding fans, picked up the writing brush on the field, inscribed and painted on the fans, and then ordered the craftsman to take them outside and sell them quickly. As soon as the craftsman came out of the yamen, the fans were snapped up, and one thousand yuan was just enough to pay the bill. At the age of forty-five, Su Dongpo was imprisoned for one hundred days. Fortunately, the emperor's pardon was issued. Later, he said in Miscellaneous Notes: "I didn't like killing people since I was a child, but I didn't stop completely." I have stopped killing pigs and sheep in recent years, but I like crabs and clams naturally, and sometimes I have to kill them. Last year, I was put in prison for a crime, and I thought I was involved. Later, I didn't want to be spared, so I stopped killing a thing. Sometimes I buy crabs and clams and put them in the river. Although I know that clams can't live in rivers, there may be a chance. Even if you can't live, it's much better than suffering in a pot. I have no other thoughts, just because I have experienced hardships, and I am no different from chickens and ducks in the kitchen. I don't want my life to suffer from this endless fear because of my stomach. I just hate myself for not forgetting delicious food, and sometimes I buy dead crabs to eat. "

He said: "My family makes a living as a fan, and my father just died. It has been raining and cold since this spring. I don't mean to owe him money. " Dongpo stared at him for a long time and said, "Bring the fan you made for the time being and I'll open it for you." After a while, Dongpo sent a fan, holding twenty blank Jiajuan fans, picked up a judgment pen to write cursive script, painted dead wood and bamboo stones, and waved his hand. Say to the man: "You sell it outside and pay back the money." The man thanked Su Dongpo with a tearful fan and went out. Just out of the mansion, people who like Su Dongpo rushed to buy a fan for several thousand dollars, and the ones in their hands were sold out immediately. Later, when I wanted to buy it, I couldn't buy it, so I left with regret. The fan seller finally paid off the debt with the money from selling fans.
