However, I saw a crying child with his Xuanzong disciple, scholar Xu Kun (official assistant, minister of rites) and his younger brother's calligraphy and painting scrolls, staggered to the porch in front of the hall and the shadow of the house garden, and carefully unfolded it on the bluestone. When the smoky wind blew away the accumulated haze, young children also took the opportunity to squat and kneel down beside the calligraphy and painting, hungrily sucking the dew of their predecessors and constantly copying on the ground with their fingers. At that time, this studious and intelligent child named Gu Zhenle (letter seeks,no. Lezhai) was fascinated by books, paintings and prints. Because he didn't know what a meat cleaver was at first, he once made a joke and wanted to sharpen his blade on a stone. After a round of circulation, he is already an old artist proficient in calligraphy, painting and printing, and he is highly respected at sea. It was also he who wrote Mr Hu Juewen's magnificent, elegant and breathtaking inscription on his tall tombstone.
As early as in his youth, Mr. Gu Zhenle was recommended by Zhai and Zhao (a painter in Jiading in the Republic of China), and was guided by the Children's Rules of the Commercial Press, and won the essence of The Star in Small Letters. Zhang Shiyuan, a famous painter at sea, was also studied and discussed with his fellow disciples Fang Quji and Shan. Since then, his calligraphy and painting skills have become increasingly sophisticated, and he finally got married.
Gu Lao is honest and modest, indifferent to fame and fortune, adhering to the ancestral teachings, taking teaching and educating people as his own responsibility, and being a teacher everywhere. Although peaches and plums are all over the world, and they are members of China Calligraphers Association, Xiling Printing Society, Shanghai Literature and History Museum and HKUST Visiting Professor, they never make public. After retirement, he also spent more than 10 years in Fudan University, Finance University, Medical University, Shanghai Normal University and other institutions of higher learning, silently contributing to the promotion and revitalization of the traditional culture and art of the motherland.
Since ancient times, he devoted himself to expanding seal cutting, and has been holding a knife ever since. Nowadays, at the age of 9 1, he is still alert and playing with a knife. For example, Youlong walked on the jiaozi, enjoying himself heartily (see attached photo), which is probably unique in the seal cutting circle in Shanghai today.
When someone asked him about his formula, he smiled and said, "Treating the initiated hand can relax the muscles, dredge the veins, condense the qi and gather the spirit, maintain health and soothe the nerves. How can it not be good for health and contentment? " . In fact, Mr. Chen Congzhou has long commented on Gu Lao's virtue and art: "Gu Jun is deep and introverted, rich in literary accomplishment, orderly in composition, meticulous in writing, heavy in emotion and righteousness, generous in helping others ..."
As a man with lofty ideals who is indifferent to fame and fortune, is willing to educate people and has worked hard all his life to revitalize the quintessence of the country, how can he be unhealthy and happy in his later years!
