The Year of the Tiger talks about the tiger | Mr. Zhang Daqian's "Map of the Tigers Screaming valley"
Zhang Daqian, whose painting art and fame are above Zhang Shanxiao, rarely draws tigers in order to make the second brother unique. He once wrote a poem to express his heart: "The great thousand wish to suffer poverty and suffering, and the golden thousand and two do not draw tigers." ”
One day in the spring of 1935, Zhang Shanxiao and Zhang Daqian were drinking together, and after three rounds of drinking, Zhang Daqian said to the second brother: "I paint a painting today, and you come to make up for the inscription poem to make up for the brotherhood." ”
Immediately, Zhang Daqian splashed ink, and soon kung fu, a majestic "Tiger Howling Map", was displayed in front of him.
This "Tiger Howling Picture", with its old and spicy pen and peculiar composition, the tiger in the painting roars in the wind, lifelike and daunting. After Zhang Shanxiao saw it, he also had to marvel at his brother's superb painting skills, far better than him.
Just at this time, a Japanese person came to visit, saw this picture of the tiger howling, loved it very much, and repeatedly asked Zhang Shanxiao to sell him this painting. Unable to resist his soft and hard bubbles, Zhang Shanxiao sold the painting with the idea of making a name for his brother.
As a result, the matter did not go away, and the next day a dealer came to the door, and when he saw Zhang Daqian, he praised his tiger painting skills higher than his brother, and was willing to pay ten times higher than his brother to buy his tiger work.
After Zhang Daqian heard this, he was very angry, and at the same time, he was also annoyed by his drunken painting of the tiger. Drawing tigers is the second brother's specialty, how can I have a long time with him?
Therefore, in order to let his brother Zhang Shanxiao be unique in his beauty, Zhang Daqian vowed not to draw tigers again. In order to show his heart, he also wrote two lines in response to the dealer: "The great thousand wishes to suffer poverty and suffering, and the golden thousand and two do not draw the tiger." ”
