Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Calligraphy Danqing's Emotions

In March 1991, Wu Yingyu, a member of the Huaiyin Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, put forward the "No. 24324 No. 4" proposal at the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference meeting; Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall should collect calligraphy and painting works from celebrities at home and abroad. "Make the memorial hall an educational sanctuary for learning Premier Zhou's excellent qualities, inheriting and carrying forward the party's fine traditions and style." The proposal reflects the aspirations of thousands of descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

So the green postal road carried letters of solicitation to celebrities of calligraphy and painting at home and abroad; calligraphy and painting works, including some priceless boutiques, quickly gathered from all over the world to Huai'an. With bursts of ink fragrance and slices of true feelings, the calligraphers and painters condensed their respect and nostalgia for Premier Zhou Enlai in their hearts and sent them to calligraphy Danqing. At the same time, comrades from the memorial hall also went to Nanjing and Zhenjiang to organize calligraphy and painting brush meetings for the memorial hall.

In early March, Shicheng is cold in spring.In the studio of Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum on Changjiang Road, Nanjing, more than 20 calligraphers and painters gathered in one room. While telling Zhou Enlai's great achievements, moral character and personality, and their yearning for Premier Zhou in the past fifteen years, they spread their paper and put a piece of paper together. The cavity loves splashing in ink and color. With the help of his assistants, Mr. Chen Dayu, a professor of Nanjing University of the Arts and a well-known calligrapher who is nearly in his prime, wrote the middle hall of eight big seal characters of "Fame goes down in history, merit will last forever".People gathered around and praised his simple and powerful calligraphy, but this respected old calligrapher tasted it by himself, and always felt that the charm of "Qian" was still lacking, so he grabbed the manuscript and rubbed it in public without hesitation. Lose.After a short rest, he simply took off his coat, stroked his sleeves, and wrote a new one.Seeing that he was flustered with exhaustion, the assistant dipped his seal in inkpad and prepared to use it for him. Mr. Dayu quickly stopped him, and said in a low voice but reverently: "I am writing to our beloved Premier Zhou." He solemnly took the stamps and stamped them one by one.The bright marks are as red as fire, which is a symbol of the sincerity of the calligraphers.

When Gai Maosen, a middle-aged painter in Nanjing, received the invitation for the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall's Calligraphy Collection, his father was critically ill in the hospital.Should I go to the hospital or the Provincial Art Museum?The painter thought over and over again, and asked his family to go to the hospital to take care of him first, and then he got on his bicycle and rushed to the art museum on time.He conceived a little, and a "Tea Tasting Picture" was drawn under his pen in less than half an hour.The plump banana leaves, the quaint teapot, and the expression of the tea man proudly looking up to appraise the tea on the screen won the praise of all the experts present.This painting is one of the valuable works of art collected by Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall.

Hong Weiqin, a middle-aged painter from the Nanjing Art Association, was in a difficult mood when he heard that a painting and calligraphy meeting was held for the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall.When he was still in school, he learned the exemplary deeds of Premier Zhou many times, and his heart was full of admiration for the beloved Premier Zhou.He put down his work, sacrificed his precious time as an artist, and went door to door, begging masters of calligraphy and painting to leave ink marks for Premier Zhou.Not to be outdone by himself, he painted a landscape painting by himself, and also collaborated with famous painters such as Yaming to paint one, leaving an eternal memory of Premier Zhou.

On May 20, 1991, the Memorial Hall received a large envelope from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in Neijiang City, Sichuan Province. With the fragrance of ink, a blooming calla lily appeared in front of people.Flowers know people's feelings, grasses understand people's wishes.It is said that calla lilies were one of Premier Zhou's favorite flower species during his lifetime.In 1964, my country's first atomic bomb was successfully detonated, the Soviet Union's Khrushchev stepped down, and Premier Zhou was ordered to visit the Soviet Union to explore the possibility of improving Sino-Soviet relations.In the Soviet Union, Zhou Enlai learned that Khrushchev's ouster by the new leaders of the CPSU was nothing more than changing the soup.So, he resolutely boarded the plane and returned home.At the Capital Airport, Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De and others went to greet him together, and the precious bouquet of flowers presented to him by the welcome crowd was a blooming calla lily.The wisps of fragrance are refreshing.Who is so familiar with Premier Zhou's preferences?The painter's name is Qiu Xiaoqiu, who is the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in Neijiang City, Sichuan Province.When the solicitation letter arrived at his home, he had already visited Singapore.After returning to China, he hurried to paint, because in his heart, he had already condensed his admiration for Premier Zhou and "Deeply Missed".

Su Juxian, a famous old calligrapher and painter in Shanghai, was the only surviving scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.Because of his 111-year life expectancy, he was once known as the "No. 1 Old Man" in Shanghai.Before the end of 1991, he learned from his friends that the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall was being built in Huai'an. He was very excited. On December 29, regardless of the cold weather and his advanced age, he swiped a piece of paper and wrote: There is a couplet of "Fame and glory, the building is strong and the mountains and rivers".The old man's brushwork is chic and vigorous.After writing it, I asked a friend to take it to Huai'an and donate it to the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall.Unexpectedly, the weather was suddenly cold, and the old man had a relapse of lobular pneumonia, and died suddenly the next day.However, the old birthday star's sincere love for Zhou Enlai is all melted into this precious couplet, which can be called a rare treasure.

Zhu Xiaoping, a retired cadre in Yangzhou City, was a close friend with the late "Grass Sage" Mr. Lin Sanzhi, and he loved collecting calligraphy and paintings of famous masters.On January 10, 1976, the death of Premier Zhou Enlai shook the land of China, and the "Sage of Grass" was devastated.He stayed up all night, weeping while writing poems, the tears mixed with ink, and the ink tugged at Mr. Sanzhi's heart.With anger towards the Gang of Four, he respects and loves Premier Zhou.He wrote a five-character poem with ink and tears: "The hostility extends to the summer..." After it was written, it was presented to his friend Zhu Xiaoping.Zhu Xiaoping collected it as a treasure handed down from generation to generation for fifteen years.Today, the "Sage of Grass" has passed away, and this work condensed by tears and ink is priceless, very precious and rare.However, when Comrade Zhu Xiaoping learned that the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall in Huai’an would exhibit celebrity calligraphy and paintings, he resolutely donated the ink left by Mr. Lin Sanzhi.When people asked, "Don't you feel it's a pity to donate such a precious calligraphy work?" Comrade Zhu Xiaoping replied calmly: "I keep it at home, and I can only watch it among family and friends. It can be given to Premier Zhou Memorial Hall." Let friends from all over the world watch and get educated from it.” Comrade Zhu Xiaoping’s answer expresses the nostalgia and reverence for Zhou Enlai and the expectation of the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall.

During his lifetime, Premier Zhou Enlai devoted himself to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland until his deathbed; he also asked someone to find Minister Luo Qingchang, who was in charge of the United Front Work, to inquire about the situation in Taiwan, without saying a word.The sickness was really hard to support, so I had to say: "I'm too tired, let me rest for a while." After speaking, he passed out.After a while, he woke up, looked at Comrade Luo Qingchang who was waiting beside him and said: "We must never forget our friends in Taiwan who are still alive, even if they only did one good deed and helped us once Busy..." Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep again.After his death, Comrade Deng Yingchao understood his wishes best, and specially transferred his ashes from the Working People's Cultural Palace to the Taiwan Hall of the Great Hall of the People, where they were stored overnight to make up for Zhou Enlai's failure to see his friends and future friends who were still in Taiwan. We can see the shortcomings of the reunification of the motherland.He misses his compatriots in Taiwan, and never forgets his friends in Taiwan. How can the Taiwan compatriots forget him?In the summer of 1991, Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall received a "Mountain Eagle Picture" by Mr. Wang Panyuan, a famous painter living in Taiwan.On the screen, there is an isolated island and high mountain in the sea, and a sea eagle holds its head high and spreads its wings.In the minds of viewers, the isolated island and high mountains are more like Taiwan, the treasure island of the motherland!Where is the sea eagle with its head and wings flying?The meaning is self-explanatory.The profound paintings give people endless associations.Mr. Wang is from Lianshui, Jiangsu Province. The fragrance of Danqing permeates his deep affection for his homeland, and also permeates his admiration for Zhou Enlai's personality, which also reflects his wish for the reunification and prosperity of the motherland.

In just a few months, more than 300 famous calligraphers and painters at home and abroad have dedicated more than 300 excellent works to the memorial hall of this great man, condensing their love and adding a lot to the great Chinese art treasure house. New curiosities.
