(5) The Wenmeihui will meet today The first gathering of Wenmeihui will be held at Tianxinglou Tavern opposite Xingui Tea Garden, Daxin Street, Sanma Road at 4:00 pm today.I heard that Li Mei'an, a master of contemporary calligraphy and painting, and Mr. Wu Changshuo came to the meeting. (May 14) (6) The grand occasion of the first meeting of the Wenmeihui 1. The reason for holding the first monthly meeting quickly The purpose of the Wenmeihui is to study literature and art.The Gregorian calendar has been established in March.The initiators are Liu Yalu, Ye Chulan, Zhu Shaoping, Li Xishuang, and Zeng Cun Wu Zhushi.According to the regulations, a regular meeting shall be held once a month.Due to the busy fan affairs, the first monthly meeting will be held at the end of this month.As for the literary calligrapher and painter Chen Shizeng (i.e., Taoist Immortal) and Fan Yanshu, the two monarchs presided over politics and education in Nantong Prefecture, and they came to Shanghai for business a few days ago.Good friends get together quickly, a good meeting is rare, the colleagues do their best to prepare, and rush to hold the first monthly meeting at Tianxing Building, Daxin Street, Sanma Road at 4:00 pm on the 14th.A banquet with wine and wine is accomplished in awe, and its grand occasion is truly astonishing, and it can be described as an unprecedented love affair.

2.accidental fit of location Originally, it was planned to use the Yuyuan Garden or the Rainbow Garden to display literary works and gatherings of friends, but the above places are a bit remote, and it may be inconvenient to transport the goods, and the buildings may not be suitable for the exhibits.The date of the meeting is urgent, but the venue has not yet been decided, and the colleagues are very anxious.Suddenly it was said that there were three couplets in the back building of Tianxing Restaurant, which were sufficient for use, so it was decided as a last resort to use this building as the venue for the first monthly meeting.There are three rooms in total, one for displaying items exchanged by members, as well as pens for calligraphers and painters at banquets; one for selling items; and one for reference items.Lin Lang four walls, shining brightly.Although the house is a bit small, it is quite useful, and all the supplies are quite close, and the transportation between members is extremely convenient.It doesn't mean that in the midst of tens of thousands of mortals and thousands of noises, this indifferent and unconventional cold meeting suddenly appeared. The participants salty said that it was unexpected at first thought.

3.The variety of exhibits is impressive On that day, due to the hasty schedule of the meeting, the announcement was very late, and there were still more than 20 people attending the meeting.Mr. Li Mei'an (that is, Taoist priest of Yumeihua'an) and Mr. Wu Changshuo also came to participate in the grand event as guests, and they both gave their pennies temporarily.A total of thirteen people exchanged items, and if one person gave two or four items, a total of more than twenty items were obtained.Among them, the most precious (preserving) one is the calligraphy couplet of Mr. Jiang Zhuoru, an 82-year-old man. Cheng, quaint, Xuntui masterpiece.In addition, Fan Yanshu's folding fan, from the book Wenmei Xiaoji, is a regulated poem, lingering in literature and wine, feeling proud of the time, overflowing in Chu ink.This is a commemoration, and the beauty is more colorful.More than ten other exchange items, such as Zhu Zhenchang, Fei Gongzhi, Liu Yalu, Yu Tiansui, Yan Shi'an, Huang Pucun, Ye Chuyi, Xia Xiaoan, Li Xishuang, Zengcun Wu Zhushi, or recorded old poems, or expressed new ones, All writing in high spirits has special strengths.There are more than 20 items for sale. The two handles of Li Mei'an's folding fans are both calligraphy and painting on both sides.There are two landscape paintings of the Taoist priest, with a strong charm.Li Xishuang wrote English characters in seal script, forming a school of his own, without hurting elegance. His calligraphy was a poem by the great British writer Shaw, and the style was just right.Wu's round fan with flowers has been preserved, and I have imitated the Yun school, and I have quite a lot of experience.Shen Xiaozhuang's carved ivory fan bone is three or four inches wide and four inches long, with eight lines of characters, about one hundred and twenty characters per line, finely detailed, and the brushwork is as exquisite as Mi Lao.It is not an exaggeration to call him a sculptor in magic.

The reference product is another room.There have been five or six collections of selected works from the Ministry of Education and Culture Exhibition of Japan in the past five or six years in Wu's collection, as well as five or six collections of masterpieces by Japanese Western painters.There are many kinds of ancient paintings in Zhu Shaoping's collection, all of which are works of famous people.The most eye-catching one is the hand scroll of Yu Haiwu, with dozens of flowers and trees interspersed and coordinated, which is really painstaking.There are more than 20 species of different birds, with a total of more than 40 tails. The composition and coloring are very different.He is like the "Remnant Lotus" written by a rotten Taoist.In addition, Shen Moxian's "Pine", Li Mei'an's "Pine", and Wu Changshuo's "Plum", (all three of them are temporary), all of them are written on the spur of the moment.

4.Features of the magazine There are more than a hundred pages of fan-made works, the first essay, the second poem, the second word, and sixteen pictures, five types of printing, several types of comic confessions, and appendix literary chronicles. It is packed in a magazine style and is called "Wenmei". .The narrative was written by Yao Xijun, who was the seal of Huang Binhong's ancient seal, Xishuang's "Preface to Li Lu Yinpu", Wu's "Discussion on Western Painting and Calligraphy with a Reporter", (Tian) Sui's "Sui Lu "Notes", Yazi's "History of the Stele of Blood and Tears", are all very interesting works.The poems are Hongsimo, Shenyan and rich, and everything is fine.There are the most mountains and rivers in the paintings, dense and delicate, each with its own style.Xishuang's "Pan" uses foreign brush and ink to express the beautiful meaning, which is indeed a pioneering style in the painting circle of our country.Save the Wu family, use brush to set color, pure imitation of Song Dynasty method.Comparing Xishuang's "Pan", one is new and the other is old, which is exactly the opposite.Comparing the visit, it can be seen that the head of art is Taoism.The pattern of the advertisements of the immortal Taoist is organized with Han bamboo leaf inscriptions, which is interesting and ancient, and can be a representative of the quintessence of Yadong.Yan Shi'an's "Wenmei Monument" is unique and unique.The above items were packed into magazines, and they were originally intended to be passed on to members of the audience temporarily.Because there are so many good works, it's a pity to keep it secret, so I plan to engrave the fund-raising seal, and it will be issued in a few days. It's a quick thing.

5. The joy of exchanging paintings and calligraphy There were thirteen members in the club, and they gave out more than twenty items for exchange. When Zun was slightly drunk, Li and Zeng used lottery to exchange with each other.At this time, all those who produce have infinite hope in the things they appreciate.Every time the name of an object is revealed, those who are paying attention to it are unanimous, and their feelings are no different from those who look forward to the announcement of the election.Huang Pucun's family has admired the name of Taoist Xian for a long time, and now, seeing a picture of ancient plums from the exchange line of Xian, he covets it very much.Not long after it was published, it should be said that the owner of the painting was actually Mrs. Huang, and the whole hall applauded.But Huang's pride is indescribable.Fan Yanshu's poem fan, Li Xishuang read it, and couldn't put it down.When using paper to write poems in your pocket, worry less about getting them for others than copying them.Unexpectedly, after it was published, this fan was also obtained by Mrs. Li, so it can be said that she can do whatever she wants!There was a painting fan of the Wu family, but it was sealed with a paper sleeve at the beginning, and the real face was not exposed. Everyone suspected that it was a naked beauty.So arouse general curiosity.Those who want to get the quality don't know how many.When it was announced, it was still the flowers of the Yun school, which were obtained by Fei Gongzhi's family.However, the income of the Wu family is the book of the Xishuang family.Zeng and Li Ben, former classmates, exchanged paintings and calligraphy more than once.It is a daily lottery method, which was made by Li Zhi once again, and all of them are determined by the previous one.The last one was obtained by Yan Shi'an, and it is still his own work.There is nothing left to do, but to exchange with what the Wu family has gained, and then finish the job.It's more drinkable to wash the cup, the night has already started to change. (May 16-18)

(1) Works of Chengdong Women's School System Nanshi Zhuxing Nong Chengdong Women's School was founded by Mr. Yang Baimin alone.Its subject performance is outstanding, occupying the first place in Shanghai Women's School.That is to say, all kinds of works of art are exquisite and elegant, and they are among the best in their generation.Such as embroidered piano couplets, screen strips, etc., are especially praised by colleagues in the academic circle.In addition, there are many ladies who are members of the Chengdong Workshop, and there are a lot of calligraphers.The written couplets and plaques are hung on the four walls, and they are often admired by experts. (April 1, 1912)

(2) Comments on the Chinese language scores of Seongdong Women's Seminar The members of Nanshi Chengdong Women's School are all educated in Chinese.One or two are selected as follows: On women's desire for equal rights must first seek equal education (Meng Jun) Comments: The discussion is painful, and it is enough to breathe out for my daughter's world. Little Words on Women's Political Participation (Lu Jianyi) Comments: The arrogance is so high that it seems like no one else is there! On Women's Equal Rights Must First Seek Equal Education (Cheng Yao) Comments: The reasoning is fine, and it is a theory that understands people. The Seongdong Women's Seminar has only been held for a few months, and the results have been remarkable.The principal, Yang Baiminjun, is enthusiastic about education, which can be seen here. Said that the school experiment method is not feasible (Hu Cuixin) Comments: The reasoning is clear and the structure is neat.The three major points mentioned are especially precise and practical.Names are not published. Another Seven Absolutes and Four Poems (Pity the Poor) Fundraising for the construction of the Wind and Rain Pavilion for Martyr Qiu Jin (Tree Love) Comments: Zhencaiyuan's words and pens reveal the glimmer of potential virtue. "Enlightenment" is graceful and graceful.The spirit is like Ouyang; "Poetry" can be recited neatly.The martyr Qiu Jin knows, he should smile in Jiuquan! On the 20th of the first month, the Women's Military Corps departed from Shanghai for Jiangning to join the Northern Expedition.Classmates Zhang Junzhi, Xuezhixing, Huang Junhui, and sister Xueyuan all accompanied them, and wrote a long sentence to send them off (Xuezi) The full text of the composition is omitted, only the comments made by Li Shutong remain. Comments: There is a sound of gold and stone when throwing the ground, but not a soft sound.Tiger among men!Dragon in the text!Who says there are no heroes among women! (April 8-May 17, 1912) Note: This number question is a composition question for the students of Chengdong Women's School, and the article is omitted. (3) Ms. Meng Jun's calligraphy Women's handwriting is mostly soft and childish, which can be distinguished at a glance.It is not as good as our country, Europe, America and India are not as good as they are.This is the reporter's experience of more than ten years, and I firmly believe it.The month before last, when I went to Chengdong Women's School, I was amazed by seeing all kinds of scripts in seal script, official script and regular script written by Ms. Meng Shuhua.The seal script written by the lady is like a stone drum imitated by Haocang; the official script is like Yang Xianshan facing Zhangqian;The three characters "Kongjishe" published in the Japanese newspapers today, although not a lady's favorite work, are quaint and elegant, enough to rival the first-rate old calligraphers at sea.This is not a private opinion of the reporter alone, and those who are good at appreciating it must take it as a contempt.Ladies are still immature, and they don't dabble in inscriptions, and their calligraphy is exquisite, and most of them are talented.In the future, if you study and refer to Shi Jingtuo, the famous art master, you will surely enjoy the first reputation in our country in a few years, so you dare to be a prophet.In recent years in our country, European studies have developed, and there are almost no one who studies calligraphy.The elders are dying day by day, and the latter have no one to succeed, then our country has been crowned the world for thousands of years, and the exquisite and incomparable calligraphy will be wiped out!Ms. Mianzhan, the ups and downs continue to die, and the bandits are responsible for others.The reporter is not sensitive, and we will wait and see! (signed interest on April 16, 1912) (4) Minghui Benbu Chengdong Women's School held a Ping Ming meeting at 6:30 am on this Tuesday (that is, the 19th day of the lunar calendar) at 6:30 am. Senior students gathered together to practice various calligraphy.Prepare to sketch all kinds of steles first, and then follow the students' preferences to receive the copy.After the book is completed, each award will be a book.However, books and materials cannot be uniform, and they are distributed by lottery.The initiation of this meeting (the meeting is not limited to calligraphy, pictures, music, gymnastics, etc.) One is to get fresh air; the other is to correct women's sluggishness.Xun is a concentrated feature. (June 2, 1912) (5) The harbinger of the 10th Entertainment Conference of Chengdong Girls' School It has been 10 years since the private Chengdong Women's School in Nanbu City opened, and there have been nine entertainment fairs, and this time it is planned to hold the tenth commemorative entertainment fair.In addition to the performing arts of our school students, please enthusiastically educate all comrades to perform arts together, and collect coupons to help the school's funds.The clubhouse is intended to be borrowed from the Education Federation.Then there will be a splendid splendor.The detailed content will be interviewed later. (June 8, 1912) (6) Chengdong Women's School Painting and Calligraphy Research Achievement Exhibition On the 21st of the previous month, the Chengdong Women's School in Zhuxing Nong, Bennan City held the first calligraphy and painting research meeting.It is taught by Wang Chuiliu and Shen Moxian.There are about 20 members, and they practice for three hours a day, and they have already reported in advance.As of the 20th of this month, the first term has been completed, and a special achievement exhibition will be held. There are more than 90 works of member Zhu's works, which are either hung on the wall or displayed on the ground, for guests to watch and invite celebrities to taste.I hereby record Xishuang's comments and publish them in "Literary Criticism" to see one of the achievements of the meeting: Chengdong Women's Painting and Calligraphy Research Association results Calligraphy Department Ding Chengshi's big "Buddha" character.The structure is stable, the brushwork is round and harmonious, and it is a work that can be appreciated by both refined and popular.In addition, the cursive book Zhai forehead has the four characters "quiet and self-satisfied", and the breath is also pure and honest. Meng Shuhua's Meng Jiangdun ancient seal character "Shou" is powerful and ancient, and the characters are especially old and healthy.Also, the four-character forehead of "Zhishui Renshan" is very similar to that of Li Ruonong. Cao Weirong's "Kongjishe" has a small amount, elegant and clean, and the character "payment" is also extremely exquisite. Painting Department Ding Chengshi's "Hua Ding Gui Yun" four-foot hall was the first masterpiece in the venue.The brushstrokes and colors are impressive.In addition, the blue stone screen strips are also chic. The painting department has the most works, especially excellent ones.For example, the elegance of Wang Yulin's landscape fans, and the ancientness of Meng Shuhua's ink and stone albums, all put a special splendor in the venue. Yang Xueqiong's plum blossom banners, with neat and vivid branches, are especially admired by viewers; the fans painted by Zhu Xianying, Xi Shangzhen, and Cao Weirong all have natural wit and charm, Shen Baode, Lu Jianyi, Zhu Shuai, Chen Xiu, Yang Xueyao, Yang Fengqin and others His works also have their own characteristics, which make the viewer feel refreshed and happy. The first session of the Calligraphy and Painting Research Association was only held for a month, and the unprecedented good results can be achieved, and I can sincerely celebrate my daughter's academic circle.The second phase of Calligraphy and Painting Research Conference will continue to be held during this year's annual vacation. Note: Chengdong Women's School is a women's school founded by Yang Baimin. Yang Baimin and Li Shutong are old friends. They have known each other since they were studying in Japan. On April 1, 1912, the "Pacific News" was founded. Li Shutong also taught at the Chengdong Women's School, taught Chinese, and was very concerned about the various activities of the Chengdong Women's School, so he kept publishing relevant information in the newspaper. News from Chengdong Women's School. (one) There are eight people from our country who studied in Japan and entered the Tokyo government art school, all of whom are in the Western painting department.Zeng Yannian, Li An's second family, graduated and returned to China in April last year.In addition, there are Chen Zhisi, Bai Changling, Wang Kouchuan, Fang Mingyuan, Pan Shouheng, Lei Yuxiang and other families who stayed in the East.There is also Tan Yisun, who entered the sculpture department of the school six years ago, and returned to China when he was in the second grade.Tan's knowledge of gold and stone, crafts seal cutting, is good at Zhejiang School, his nature is very similar to sculpture, he dropped out of work halfway, people cherish him. There are as many as 30 women from our country studying in Japan and entering private women's art schools, and most of them are in the foreign painting department.Yesterday, a graduate, Ms. Bao, made a painting after graduation, which was praised by Chinese and Japanese people. (April 7) (two) In recent years, Japan has made rapid progress in Western painting. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Culture has set up an exhibition once a year to reward excellent works.In addition, there are two groups, the White Horse Association and the Pacific Painting Association, who are the most powerful.The Hakuba Club has Kuroda Seiki as the main alliance, and there are also Okada Saburo, Suwada Hide, Saku Fujishima Takeshi, Nagahara Taibu, Miyake Katsumi, Nakazawa Hiromitsu, etc.The teachers and students of government art schools all belong to this school.In the Pacific Art Association, Shotaro Koyama is the leader. In addition, famous masters include Buzhe Nakamura, Kunishiro Katsuya, Miyoko Kosugi, Gu Huibo, Baiting Ishii, Shiro Nakagawa, Tojiro Taishita, Wanro Maruyama, etc., and Kako Nishi and Komono Also belong to this faction.This school is commonly known as the opposition school, and it specifically opposes the government art schools.In fact, the power of this faction cannot compete with the White Horse Society. The name of the White Horse Club was disbanded last year, but its influence still exists.In terms of strength and reputation, they are all above the Pacific Ocean.Therefore, art critics often criticize the works of Pacific painters.For example, the works of Kakoki and Nakamura have not been welcomed by the society in recent years.And looking at the Baimahui, the works of the Kuroda, Okada, and Wada clans are almost unanimously praised, and there is no objection.The Kuroda clan, a member of the White Horse Group, is proposed to be the leader of Western painting. It is conceivable that his influence is great.In all fairness, the development of Japanese Western painting is largely due to the strength of the Kuroda family.Kuroda, only in his forties, is currently a professor at an art school and a technician at the imperial court. (April 7th and 11th, 1912) (three) The first exhibition of the Japanese art group Akonkai is scheduled to be held in Sanhui Hall from March 29th to April 5th.This meeting was organized by graduates of the foreign painting department of the Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts last year.The Zeng Yannian and Li An clans of our country are also meeting here. Japan's "Shirakaba" magazine sponsored the fifth art exhibition, which will be held at the Kyoto Prefectural Library from April 12th to 21st. (April 13, 1912) (Four) Mr. Shinyuki Kami, an old master of Japanese music, was a teacher at the Tokyo Music School 20 years ago, and later served as a member of the Gagaku Club of Miyauchi Province.He has a good command of Sinology and Gong Poetry.Yesterday I received April "The Sun" from Japan, which contained three poems by Mr. "Looking at the Plums in Fangxi, Using the Rhyme of Juxingtang in Dongpo". Snow. The wine and meat in the world are disgusting, but the bowls and bowls before the Buddha love to be clean." Leisurely and leisurely, it has the generality of being chic and unrestrained. When you read this, you can imagine the demeanor of your husband. The gentleman claims that he is not good at calligraphy, but his calligraphy is ancient and clumsy, very similar to the ancestors of our country Fei Qihuai.In the future, I will ask for a copper plate of the filmmaker for elegant appreciation. (April 13, 1912) (Fives) Japanese calligraphy and painting masters founded the Danbaihui, which meets once a month.Seven years ago, most of the Tanbai venues were held in Yushi Building, Tenjin, Yushima. In recent years, it has been moved to Kitagawa Building, Izumocho, Kyobashi.Members' works are displayed during the meeting, and the products are exchanged at the feast.The Wenmeihui recently launched in our country is similar in nature.There are only a dozen members of Danbai, all of whom are elegant and quiet, and their works are also chic and clear, which is worthy of the name of Danbai.When my countrymen Chen Shizeng and Zeng Xiao were studying in Tokyo with their families, they also met here, especially many Japanese begging for calligraphy and painting. (April 15, 1912)
