In the first half of the last century, people who had experienced turmoil in the country, warlords fighting each other and Anti-Japanese War went forward in the dark, feeling helpless. But there are always people in the dark days with their own way to lift the weak torch, wave after wave, walk.
The Fahua Sutra says, “From one lamp to another, all lamps are bright.” So the little lights converge into a shimmering light, and then the dark fades away and the stars grow bright.
In the Republic of China, there were many distinguished people who enlightened the people and enlightened the world with sharp or peaceful, gentle or heroic brush strokes. It was they who raised the fire of the firefly in the dark.
Reading the prose of that time, is always a feeling of looking up at the stars of the joy. In the words of Confucius, it is “moodily literary”. In reading, the masters of the nation, with their distinctive personalities, often went out of the book, or told their own life feelings, or intimate anecdotes.
They “ye ran if the god of God,” has belongs to the era of the unique glory. What I like to read most are feng Zikai’s essays and paintings.
Feng Zikai’s painting may be a point of memory for many people.
This beautiful scene was the subject of a retrospective exhibition on the 120th anniversary of Feng Zikai’s birth a few years ago. In my opinion, it was also the subject of his paintings.
It is most commonly known as “a crescent moon like water”. Just a few strokes and a breeze blowing on the porch and a new moon in the night sky. Friends dispersed, the tea set has not yet removed, as if it can still float a light tea fragrance. Clearly simple things, but the artistic conception is far away, a fresh and broadness of the meaning blow on my face.
After people scattered, a hook crescent sky such as water
The world of children is as clear as the clear and beautiful month.
Weeping willows fly swallows, young girls catch flowers, young boys riding a bamboo pole running, the two little guess, full of fun, just like taibai’s description of “lang riding a bamboo horse to make green plum around the bed”.
Lang came on a bamboo horse
Feng Zikai said, “If you love, life is lovely everywhere.” The man who knows how to live and is rich in innocence is delightful, so all things in the world are indeed amiable under his pen. He draws pen container, vase, cattle-fan alarm clock, everything seems to have intelligence general, have oneself individual character and worry.
Sentient beings of the world
Allusions to the famous sentence is also random, often intercept business cards in a paragraph with fresh Juan beautiful painting. However, he does not blindly imitate and restore the artistic conception in the ancient poem. He has his own taste and ideas, so the picture is always in perfect harmony with the poem, which is also full of interest.
Tonight old people come not to, teach people to make the Indus shadow
The birds have their promise, I also love my house
So Mr. Zhu Ziqing said: “Feng Zikai a cartoon, like a poem with a stone.” Unlike the focus on the plot and cool point of the cartoon, this one with a core of small poem, even after reading many times, still feel a long aftertaste, also should the five words:
“It’s a beautiful place.”
The essayist Yu Pingbo said of Feng Zikai, “Since I was a child, I was surrounded by tender warmth, which followed him all his life and was deeply immersed in his character, making him always look at things with tender and compassionate heart. When it is scattered under his pen, it becomes plain writing and pure benevolence painting style.
This kind of tender and compassionate heart followed the master all his life.
Mr. A was born in Tongxiang, Zhejiang province. There are waterways, there are ships, people are not rich, do not have to suffer, life is easy and quiet; And long green mountains and water, with a unique jiangnan tenderness.
Good mountains and good water also raise people, the neighborhood here is simple and industrious, approachable, but also enjoy the right place and time. In his own words, “take a sip of flower carving and chew on a tender bamboo shoot”, and the days go slow.
In small towns, crossing Bridges, working, talking and drinking are all scenes of Feng Zikai. Feel the most beautiful warmth between people, so people naturally become gentle, also become gentle brush.
At the age of 16, he was admitted to the first normal school in Zhejiang province and met two people who had greatly influenced his life — Li Shutong and Xia Fin zun.
Li Shutong, also known as Master Hongyi, is a master of “Twenty Articles that make the world go round”, combining poetry, ci, calligraphy, painting, seal cutting, music, drama and literature. He was also a good elder, and had a great influence on His painting enlightenment and his gentle and compassionate attitude towards the world. Xia fin, the founder of the art of writing in the vernacular, was also very influential in the art of writing and the art of benevolence.
So we can see that under the influence of these two masters, Mr. Feng Zikai’s paintings and prose are as warm and pure as before.
If gao Xiaosong’s “Wish you a warm and pure life, do not give up love and freedom” is a natural emotion for life in the days of leisure and ease, or a kind of chicken soup for the soul of the best fantasy for human nature. But Mr. Feng Zikai is the best practitioner of this sentence.
I once thought that Mr. Feng Zikai, who could paint a picture of peace and serenity, was lucky at that time. Perhaps he lived in a corner with a few friends and a bright breeze and a bright moon, so that he could avoid drifting from place to place and the attack of war. Unfortunately, the facts are not so good. No matter during the War of Resistance against Japanese aggression, the beloved “cause hall” was shelled by the Japanese army, and the place carrying many happy memories suddenly ceased to exist, and the whole family fled; Or forced labor reform in the ten years of the holocaust, are his life is extremely difficult years.
But Mr. Zikai still insisted on writing and painting, and still maintained his childlike enthusiasm. During the Anti-Japanese War years, he actively arranged the inspiring music of the war, and he inspired the anti-japanese enthusiasm by painting and painting. Clearly a modest and gentle man who advocates “caring for the living”, he is also a staunch patriot in the face of national righteousness. He yearned for the arrival of victory, for the spring warm branches, the people’s army can drive away the Japanese aggressors, recover the good rivers and mountains.
During the Cultural Revolution, Feng Lao also did not give up painting. He said, “To protect students is to protect the heart, and to be compassionate, you can paint anywhere.” He might be treated inhumanely during the day, but in the early hours of the morning he would get up and write secretly in the morning sun. He would write a lot, a lot of things he had learned and seen and heard over the years, mostly warm and peaceful, but his prose was still clear and smooth, without complaining about the injustice of reality.
Even in those dark days, he was able to guard his inner clarity and seek spiritual openness and relief.
The world has kissed me with its pain, and I shall return it with a song.
One section is the title of the column at the beginning of each youth Digest. Most of the small articles in it are incisive and concise, yet thought-provoking. The phrase “one time, one time” comes from the Japanese tea ceremony. It refers to the only chance to meet each other once in a lifetime, and you should cherish it. Every encounter is worth appreciating.
“A piece of fallen British, are implicitly human sentiment.” This is The master’s article.
He never pretended to be deep, nor did autumn insects hang on the moon, nor did he feel hot in his pen, nor did he feel disconsolate, nor did he have great ambitions.
Narrative is always to speak, insipid open-minded, with aloof from worldly strife. The description also always let a person at a glance, let a person feel that he is very interesting, understand life.
Follow his eyes, look at the whole world in a different way, and sometimes look at it and think, wow, can you see something that way, just for one period of time.
In The “Carriage Society”, Feng Zikai describes the mood when he first took the train very interesting, he wrote that he liked to sit in the big wooden box being pulled by the machine to rush the feeling, wish the ride time could be extended a lot, so that you can see more scenery, endless interest. Each station stops, you can enjoy, each station in Feng Zikai’s eyes are born very beautiful, like the peach garden dreamland entrance.
In the article “Bee”, the insect “got humming” was very interesting in the eyes of feng Zikai, who observed it carefully. From everywhere there is no idea of flying to gradually realize, speculation to find the way, to finally see the outside of the great heaven and earth and spring garden was blocked by a damn glass. Then, the abundant old then took a cigarette to actively open the brain to help him find a way out, for it even has the idea of clearing up a lot of clutter around the window.
“Of the cat,” said the master, “it does turn silence into excitement, boredom into life, and chagrin into laughter; Can help people goodwill, teach people unity; Even if you don’t catch mice, you can still be useful in life.” On suffering, “the moon is dark and the wind is wild and fragrant”; When it comes to ideals, one can only say that one’s life is not spoiled by surprise.
His children play, parents education, workers, watching lanterns and drums are very interesting. The cherry tree died, so he could go out and buy cherries and hang them on the tree as fresh fruit and pick them up for his child to taste.
A man of leisure is lovely. In the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Dai wrote in a pavilion in the middle of the lake, “Don’t say that you are crazy about each other, but you are even crazy about each other”, which means something like this.
What I like most is to see Feng Lao talking about eating. His pen describes the pot as “a big spiral lion”, about as big as a fist. Take out the big snail meat to chop, then put in, add soy sauce and other condiments, cooked, its taste is very fresh, “wrote the wine people eat peanuts and shrimp also let people see with relish. Write to eat crab, fine peeling method even the shell can be left intact, the meat in the crab bucket, with ginger juice to eat together, think index finger big move.
See feng old prose works always feel like spring breeze, like a gentleman tells the truth takes things, the elder he will warmth and goodwill through the text and images like us sending out little by little, in a humorous and interesting way, so every time after reading the article or just a small fragment, I can feel deeply.
It is not only the environment, but also the state of mind.
Of course it will be a while.
I do not wish to have a child in my heart forever, but rather a Feng Zikai in my heart forever.
