Sometimes the etiquette, justice, and integrity are packed up and thrown at home, and sometimes the etiquette, justice, and integrity are put on duty, depending on the need at the time. It must be admitted that Zheng Banqiao's righteous words often appear particularly sincere. There is a saying that sincerity is the highest state of hypocrisy. A clever liar will often deceive himself. This is the highest level of acting skills.
If you believe him and call him poor, you will lose.
As we all know, a good poet must be poor, or be good at pretending to be poor. In his early years, Zheng Banqiao did have the peak experience of poverty, and rice and clothes became luxuries. Later, when my income became higher and my life became better, calling me poor became a habit. Even though he often laments to himself that he is "very poor", compared with ordinary people, no matter which arithmetic method is used, if he is not a rich man, he is at least middle class. Not to mention Cheng Yuchen's gift of a thousand pieces of gold, just look at his expenses------when he took office as magistrate of Shandong Province, he was busy engraving poems at his own expense, getting a wife, and throwing money in the fun----- - Regarding this point, Zheng Banqiao is also quite helpless. He is particularly envious of people like Beckett Yuan who can dominate the romantic field with their correct appearance and elegant temperament. However, he has an inconvenient face. If he wants to be romantic, it is very simple, burn- -----money------
According to research, Zheng Banqiao "bought land and bought a house in his hometown of Xinghua. Later, because the style of the new house was not ideal, he bought land and built another one in the Parrot Bridge area. The price of the land alone was fifty taels of silver, while the annual salary of a seventh-rank official in the Qing Dynasty was only a few cents." Twelve taels of silver." In a letter to his cousin, he designed the villa as follows: two thatched huts, one for guests and one for living room (one bedroom and one living room); three main rooms, two living rooms, and one slave room ( Four bedrooms and two living rooms). Zheng Banqiao emphasized that he is very restrained in buying property and will never be greedy for more. "If you ask for more, you will be occupying people's property. It is a great sin. There are many landless and unemployed people in the world. Who am I? I am greedy and greedy. What will the poor people do?" Huh!"
Look, how considerate and low-key it is, how embarrassing it is for those evil real estate speculators? If you post this kind of argument on Weibo, you will inevitably receive thousands of rewards.
Zheng Banqiao wrote a lot of simple and poor sentences similar to this kind of exhibition. But when Chinese literati say they are poor, they often don’t need to take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you lose. Xie Lingyun, the largest aristocratic family in the Southern Dynasties and a true wealthy man, wrote "Mountain Residence Ode", describing his private large estate with mountains and water, a wildlife paradise, and raising some tigers and brown bears as pets. Xie Lingyun warned readers that as long as they have less selfish desires and live a frugal life like him, they can live contentedly with a small fortune. Why should they be greedy for wealth?
Zheng Banqiao is not only obsessed with pretending to be poor, but also obsessed with being willful. He declared in a high-profile manner that he had three principles for selling paintings: "Don't sell to high-ranking officials, don't sell when you have enough life, and don't sell if I don't like it." But the sequelae have also come. You say how little you care about money. Some people ask Zheng Banqiao to write inscriptions and paintings, but they simply refuse to pay, saying that they are afraid that this elegant thing will be vulgarized. Zheng Banqiao is going crazy, you think I am really doing charity.
So he simply broke up and posted a notice, marking the price of his paintings and calligraphy in a pioneering way: "Six taels for large paintings, four taels for medium paintings, two taels for small paintings, one tael for banners and couplets, and five cents for fans. Anyone who sends food , it is not as good as silver. It is not necessarily what the younger brother likes. Gifts in cash are good for both calligraphy and painting. Since the gift is entangled, it is especially useless for the old and tired. Language too."
Later generations of critics who regarded Zheng Banqiao as a moral model interpreted this naked price list as cuteness and true temperament. When they came to this conclusion, they all forgot that Zheng Banqiao was famous for flaunting his indifference to fame and wealth and transcending money. of. Now that this gesture had affected his income, he was too lazy to pretend, and said directly, "It costs more to paint bamboo than to buy it. The six-foot-high paper costs three thousand. Let Qu talk about the old talk, just like the spring breeze passing by his ears." Understand, what are you talking about and reminiscing about old relationships? I think you are farting. Talking about feelings is better than discounting them. It is really too post-modern.
He gave a couplet to others: "If you loosen your abacus, you will be at ease." Don't worry so much. But in front of money, he is possessed by an actuary, and there is no leakage.
After leaving Shandong, he took a deposit to paint for Wu Zuozhe, the prefect of Hangzhou. The deposit was so generous that Zheng Banqiao made a special trip to Huzhou to show his sincerity and pretended to ignore the human embarrassment involved------this painting The intermediary of the business was Sun Kuotu, the magistrate of Wucheng County. Sun Kuotu once taught in Ye County, Shandong Province, and was an old enemy of Zheng Banqiao. But faced with the temptation of free travel and large remuneration, Zheng Banqiao immediately kicked away the past grudges------life is "rarely confused"! Zheng Banqiao and his old enemy settled their differences and spent more than a month happily traveling in Huzhou hand in hand and side by side. He made a lot of money from this trip, and he happily wrote to his cousin to show off his profits, just like an accountant: "The prefect will treat you to a drink once, please visit the lake once, send you off once, give you a silk gift once, and give four pieces of silver." Twelve taels. In recognition of the family friendship, Branch Zheng invited me to drink seven or eight times, visited the lake twice, and gave him sixteen taels of silver."
Rather than saying that Zheng Banqiao hates money, it is better to say that he hates rich people. The memory of poverty in his early years is hard to erase. When he was in Yangzhou, he was greatly stimulated by the scenes of wine, meat, sensuality, and spending money. He also wrote a lot of poems and essays to express his dissatisfaction with the luxurious life of salt merchants. Why can these damn rich people enjoy themselves and be arrogant and luxurious every night? While Zheng Banqiao was cursing, he was hanging out with salt merchants and conducting market operations on himself, striving to become a damn rich man.
A popular saying on Weibo is finally available: We hate corrupt officials, and we desperately apply for civil service examinations. We scold monopolies, and then cut our brains to get into high-paying units. We ridicule unhealthy tendencies and are busy looking for connections while doing our own work. In short, we are angry. On the surface, we are dissatisfied with this unfairness. In essence, we are dissatisfied with the unfair disadvantageous position we are in. We do not want to eliminate this unfairness, but we hope to become the beneficiaries of the rules.
Zheng Banqiao is just taking our bad nature to an extreme.
Dedicate your true love to the boy’s beautiful B*tt0cks
It is easy to get confused when reading Zheng Banqiao's poems. Sometimes he is extremely vicious and threatens the world: "Banqiao's poems will stop here. If there is a reprint after his death, and the boring social work is changed into something else, I will be a vicious ghost and hit his brain." Research on Zheng Banqiao Ke Ping, a very thorough writer, said that this was because he deleted all the frivolous social works, profit-conscious works, and self-contradictory works that were not beneficial to him. Sometimes he is extremely humble, "The style of my poems is humble, and the seven rhymes are especially arrogant." Simply as low as dust. Sometimes he was arrogant and boastful, saying that he "made his own great poems" and cited numerous cases to prove how popular he was. "Anyone who asks for poetry and prose must say Banqiao", and "all princes, princes, officials, and poets" The poet got a piece of paper and wrote it with only one word, and he treasured it all." He also boasted of "the words that shook the heaven and earth, the words that shook the lightning and thunder, the words that cursed the gods and ghosts, and the paintings that are unprecedented in the past." His own artistic achievements make readers feel dizzy as they shuttle back and forth between several Zheng Banqiao with different personalities.
Even his letters home are full of paradoxes. One moment he was showing off to his cousin Zheng Mo how much money he had spent on writing, and the next moment he was giving a long lecture on morals. Lu Xun then said directly that Zheng Banqiao had both inscribed a "letter from home" and carved it out for others to read, which "cannot help but be a bit pretentious." His so-called "rarely confused" is just "showing a bit of the grumbling spirit of a celebrity" by crossing his arms and legs.
The great thing about Zheng Banqiao is that even painting plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and rocks can elevate him to a spiritual realm and humanistic concern. At that time, most painters spent their entire lives on the Three Friends of Suihan. Why? The market needs it, and dignitaries want to use it to show off. Hanging a picture of a lady in your home can only mean that you understand aesthetics, but hanging a picture of an orchid implies that you are a gentleman, which is equivalent to hanging a certificate of elegance. Zheng Banqiao understands the psychological needs of his clients very well, and every painting must be inscribed with a poem. Most of them are inspirational, such as "Who lives with the desolate house in solitude, a pillar of stone reaches the sky", "The roots are in the chaotic rocks, and the east, west, north, south, and south winds blow." Functional chicken soup for the soul, reflected in poetry and painting, allows customers to buy not only aesthetics, but also virtues.
He painted stones, which extended to his will, and invited Tao Yuanming to make a cameo, "It is Tao Yuanliang who stands straight, how can five buckets of rice break my waist?" However, according to his life experience, five buckets of rice cannot bend my waist, and it is hard to say that ten buckets of rice cannot bend my waist. He painted bamboo and wrote the title "Stick to the green mountains and never let go", which is so persevering and tear-jerking. It is said that Zheng Banqiao took this sentence as his motto, because the green mountain he wanted to bite on was his benefactor--Mr. Prince Shen Yunxi.
An interesting phenomenon is that we often fail to distinguish that a person's works are often performative and cannot be directly equated with his character. An elegant painting does not mean that a person is elegant as a person. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang was No. 1 in the field of calligraphy and painting. "Qichang's landscapes, trees and rocks, flowing smoke and clouds, full of spirit, and elegant brushstrokes. Elegance and subtlety, he is the best in this dynasty." His works simply bring a sense of elegance. He has a fairy spirit, but his character is wretched and low-level. As a local tyrant, when he is over 60 years old, he sends his son to R@p3 civilian girls to be his Concub!nes. He is best at exploiting villagers and bullying others.
Zheng Banqiao's performance is certainly better than Dong Qichang's. He is sometimes elegant, sometimes vulgar, sometimes straightforward, sometimes profound, and confusing. He hung a self-written couplet in the lobby: poetry, books and paintings, money B*tt0cks, which really coincides with his lifelong hobbies of painting and calligraphy, articles, banknotes and handsome boys.
There is a paragraph in "Banqiao's Autobiography" that lurks a explosive point. Zheng Banqiao claimed that he was "very fond of landscapes and lustful, and he was especially interested in the drama of peach talk and jade and phoenix. However, he knew that he was old and ugly. This generation would benefit me with gold coins!" Whenever someone talks about foreign affairs, he scolds them without being confused..." This wretched and weird man loves pure and beautiful young men. Literati in the Ming and Qing Dynasties regarded masculinity as yuppie. Not only did they not avoid it, they often showed it off.
Back then, I was hanging out with Jin Nong and others in Yangzhou - who was Jin Nong? "Like men and hate women", Zheng Banqiao always takes Tian Shunlang, Chen Manzi and a bunch of handsome, intelligent and considerate boys with him, and Zheng Banqiao is indispensable for flirting with them. After that, he spent his small official salary and the income from selling paintings on all kinds of beautiful men. Jiang Baoling, the author of "Mo Lin Jin Hua", said that he "didn't waste his sensuality and easily used up all the money he earned." During a party with the biS3xual Beckett Yuan, Zheng Banqiao confessed his overwhelming love for the beautiful boy's butt.
It was at a poetry meeting organized by Lu Jianzeng. Zheng Banqiao saw Beckett Yuan, whom even Lu Jianzeng respected very much, and realized that the time had come to show off his superb acting skills. His voice suddenly choked up, and he claimed that a few years ago, When I heard the rumor of Beckett Yuan's death in Shandong, I couldn't help but feel sad. I beat my chest and cried loudly. As for whether the ratio of sincerity to falsehood in this performance is 37% or 28%, I'm afraid Zheng Banqiao himself can't tell. However, Zheng Banqiao finally showed his true feelings - of course, in order to resonate with Beckett Yuan. He said that if he could participate in legislation, the first thing to do is to modify the Qing Dynasty regulations to replace whipping on the B*tt0cks with whipping on the back, otherwise The beautiful boy's white B*tt0cks were injured and disabled. What a waste of natural resources, it is unbearable! Beckett Yuan clapped her hands and cheered after hearing this, and became her confidant.
You noble artist who prays for the people, why are you so obsessed with the beautiful boy's ass? "Friends", such a bloody subject, do you really plan to miss it?
Finally, I solemnly declare that a person with a sense of justice like me hates hypocritical species like Zheng Banqiao the most. If you insist on giving me his genuine paintings and calligraphy, I will never refuse. I'm an idiot, I can't get along with money. Didn't Zheng Banqiao say that it's rare to be confused?
The poetic biS3xual Beckett Yuan
This article is very HIGH and quite fun, haha. . . Finished selling melons!
In 1759, the Qing Dynasty version of "Boys Over Flowers" was being filmed. In order to express the extravagance of ancient costumes and promote the grand theme of the happy life of the people in the Qing Dynasty, the location was chosen to be the villa complex of the literary idol and fashion lifer Beckett Yuan--- ---Suiyuan.
How to describe the scale of this "the first celebrity mansion in the Qing Dynasty" located at the foot of Qingliang Mountain in Nanjing? Beckett Yuan also had a headache. In order to let the crew fully understand the structure of the villa complex, he had to use a private plane. The plane flew and flew for at least 20 minutes, flying over gardens, pavilions, mountains, lakes, farmland, vegetable gardens, breeding farms... At this time, Beckett Yuan said in a low-key voice, Suiyuan is actually not big, we have passed 1/10 of it.
After getting off the private plane, Beckett Yuan thoughtfully led the crew on a sightseeing carriage in the park to visit some important attractions. You know, for super five-star cultural scenic spots like Suiyuan, travel agencies generally organize three-day tours or five-day tours. A one-day tour is too hasty. You can only look at the European-style area that Beckett Yuan built based on the advice of Italian missionaries and by drawing on Western architectural styles in the late Renaissance, the Chinese-style ecological garden that was built by absorbing the essence of Chinese garden designs from past dynasties, and the direct integration of several well-known attractions in Beckett Yuan's hometown such as the West Lake. , Broken Bridge, Sudi, North and South Peaks and other selected areas in Hangzhou have been cleverly copied. There are as many as 300,000 volumes of books in the garden. "The utensils are sandalwood and pear scripts, carved with lacquer and gold, the playthings are Jin and Tang steles, the Shang and Yi Xia dings, the books are Qingtian yellow jelly, carved by famous hands, and the Duan inkstone is banana leaf blue and white, and many ancient styles." "It's unprecedented for wealthy people from all over the country." The crew was so excited that they even saved money on props. It's a natural film and television base!
