Mao Xiang (27 April 1611 – 31 December 1693), courtesy name Peijiang, was a writer of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who was a native of Rugao County, Taizhou Prefecture ,present-day Rugao City, Nantong, Jiangsu Province).
Mao Xiang has the names of "Southeast Xiuying" and "People Are Like Good Women", and his life is extremely feminine. In addition to the "dew couple" in his lifetime, there were more than a dozen women who lived with him. And, love his love to die and come back to life.
Mao Xiang was a family of eunuchs for generations, and he studied with his grandfather in his early childhood, and Dong Qichang called him Wang Bo of the early Tang Dynasty, hoping that he would "embellish the scenery of the Shengming generation's poetry".
The family of Mao Pujiang is superior, and in addition to the literary talents, he is still a clumsy disciple. He has the vices of a noble son, and he also has the arrogance of Gu Pan Zixiong. He likes to talk about the affairs of the world, and is also known as the journey of Ji Junma, and lives a life full of brain fat. Mao Xiang said in the poem "Farewell to Cheng Mingshi":
Cheng Jun's life is a lake seafarer, generous and sad.
Contemporary people who are more rangers, the spirit of the first.
Yu also worried about the illness of Sui Di Farewell, and the pieces of words were supported into glue paint.
Reminiscing about the past, the Junjia family is even in a whisper, and the bamboo forest is really pitiful.
Alone seven into the fox plug, the lone night long song "Tiger" chapter.
It is not easy to protect the orphans and the whole sect, and this matter has been passed down by thousands of people.
Yueming fell to the flag pavilion and shook hands with the autumn night to discuss the past.
Quexia will roam for Khan, and there will be no heroism between the seats.
Yu Alsozi tended to Yantai, when Zhenrong returned.
The words of the torjun are sudden, and this meaning dares to hope that ordinary people will do it.
The west wind is about to fall, and the song cannot be left behind.
For me I must dry the white jade pot, because jun yi tuo golden halberd.
Isn't it strange that he risked six township examinations, fell in the first place six times, did not even raise people, and was still sought after? In 1636, when Mao Xiang was twenty-six years old, he allied with Zhang Mingbi, a Jintan man, and participated in the Restoration Society. In the second year of Zhang Mingbi's alliance with Mao Xiang, he won the Jinshi. Mao Xiang was known as the "Four Princes" because he was very close to Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, and Hou Chaozong. In 1639, the "Public Disclosure of the Prevention of Chaos in The Capital", drafted by Wu Yingji and named by more than 140 people from the Fu Society, made Ruan Dacheng and his ilk infamous, like rats crossing the street, and panicked.
During the Jiashen Rebellion, ruan Dacheng, a remnant of the castration party, defected to Ma Shiying and became the military secretary and deputy capital of Nanming, yushi, and he wanted to take revenge on the people of the Fu Society. In order to avoid the chaos of war, his family fled to Nanjing. Ruan Dacheng tried to win over Mao Xiang and separate the society, but Mao Xiang refused. Ruan Dacheng then sent Jinyi Wei to arrest him, and he fled to Yangzhou overnight, where he found Shi Kefa, who escaped the disaster under Shi Kefa's shadow. Mao Xiang said in a poem "Qin Xi's Suffering (Four Poems)":
One
The vast ancient and remote twilight sky, the rain and the flat forest do not tie the boat.
The eaves are dripping with blood, and the masonry is crying through the autumn of a foreign land.
Sad frost and snow destroyed the sideburns, and the sinking land wind wave rejected a gull.
There are no good friends who are in a hurry to share the same difficulties, and the whole family is wandering and drowning.
Two
Lejiao has been called Qin Hai since ancient times, and I am late to meet large soldiers.
Everything outside the pitch is plundered, and the sac is dumped in the middle of the sac.
Zhen Hu told people to be angry and wanted to secretly communicate with the alliance.
Life has come to this point without physiology, looking back at Gao Tang alone.
Three
The great difficulty party left the disease to recover, and suffered from malaria diarrhea and more typhoid fever.
The iceberg shattered behind the fire, and the sword tree destroyed the swift pill.
A long night without sleep is like a year, and at this time there is no coffin if you die.
Xiao Sao,a lone guest who had asked, medicine bait heng and salary rice is difficult.
Four
He was haggard and emaciated, and he remembered his homeland across the ten thousand armies.
The sea crocodile does not drive away the bad land, and the ghost Fang He Li hurt the group miserably.
The caller is endowed with thousands of gold, and the heart is turned to the grave of the second ancestor.
In addition, there is no such thing as the ancient nest cloud of the Plain Tree.
In June 1645, Rugao Chen Junyue organized volunteer soldiers to resist the Officials of the Qing Court, risked the disaster, and once again fled with his family to Yanguan, Zhejiang. From summer to winter, tossing and turning, in Ma'anshan, "encountering large soldiers, killing and plundering is extremely tragic", "servants and concubines killed dozens of plunderers, and the playthings and clothing stored in their lives were left behind." All this took a drastic change in his thinking, and the following year he returned to his hometown from the salt official and lived in seclusion. He didn't want to participate in the fierce flesh-and-blood struggle, he just didn't pay lip service to him, just as he did to Chen Yuanyuan and Li Shiniang, including To Dong Xiaowan. His political attitude can also be seen from this that the amount of money is only willful.
The most shining place in Xiang Xiang's life is his refusal to be clean. Chen Mingxia, a member of the Fu Society who was demoted to the Qing Dynasty, told him that people in power should "specially recommend" him as an official. However, he risked his "resignation" with a chronic disease. During the Kangxi Dynasty, he opened the "Erudite Hong Confucian Branch" and pretended to be among the conscripts, but he insisted on resigning. After entering the Qing Dynasty, the impostor family fell in the middle of the road, and in the case of financial resources, he adopted the orphans of Donglin, Fushe and Jiangnan Anti-Qing Zhishi.
Mao Xiang was born a prodigal prince, he married at the age of 19 and married Su Yuanfang, the third daughter of Su Wenhan, a Zhongshu sher. Su Yuanfang is a talented woman who can write and draw.
When Mao Xiang was twenty years old, Guozijian on the other side of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing took part in the township examination. Mao Xiang opened his eyes on the Qinhuai River and befriended Wang Jieniang, the second sister of the "Wang Family Triplets" of the famous Qinhuai. Mao Xiang was very greedy all his life, and when he interacted with Wang Jieniang, he stayed in the "Han Xiu Zhai" of another sister-in-law, Li Shiniang, who was "the red-faced confidant of the impostor". The famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River, everyone has the means of flow. Li Shiniang was happy with herself and was tired of taking advantage of the frontier.
Since Chongzhen was thirty years old, he had been friendly with Li Shiniang. In the first year of the Southern Ming Dynasty, in the sixteen years, Mao Xiang went to Jinling Township for 6 times to test, and all stayed at Li Shiniang's place. Before Chongzhen's twelfth-year township examination, Ni Sanlan gave 30 essay questions and ordered candidates to submit their manuscripts before entering the school. When Mao Xiang slept with the Ten Niangs at midnight, he wrote a manuscript while greedily and lovingly, and it took only one month to complete the homework assigned by the envoy. For a time, it was rumored to be a good story.
Chen Yuanyuan, who attracted Wu Sangui's anger as a good look, was also a good friend of Xiang Xiang, not a yin and yang mistake, nor could it be Wu Sangui's turn to overthrow the phoenix. In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, he passed through Suzhou, heard about Chen Yuanyuan's flow, went to buy a stay, and the two loved to die and come back to life. When parting, Mao Xiang promised Chen Yuanyuan that he would come back to wushan in the autumn. In the autumn, Mao Xiang came to Chen Yuanyuan with the mare Gongren and learned that she was a concubine of the Hao family. Na Zhi met Chen Yuanyuan again in Zhangmen and made a "marriage contract" with her in February of the following year. When Xiang Xiang returned, Chen Yuanyuan had been bought and sent to the capital to be dedicated to Chongzhen. By chance, he was bought by Wu Sangui and accepted as a concubine. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Chen Yuanyuan was taken as a concubine by Li's general Liu Zongmin.
Mao Xiang turned around and went to find the old friend Dong Xiaowan. On December 15, 15th year of Chongzhen, under the mediation of Liu Ruyi, Qian Qianyi came forward to redeem Xiao Wan, and Mao Xiang took Dong Xiaowan from Suzhou to Rucheng, and Mao Xiang settled her in the "Water Painting Garden Yanyue Building" as a "separate room", and in April of the following year, she was officially established as "Lady Ru". This year, Xiao Wan was 20 years old and Mao Shi was 33 years old.
When Dong Xiaowan was 16 years old, he was the same as Liu Ruyi and Li Xiangjun as "Qin Huai Bayan". When she first met MaoXiang in 1639, she fell in love at first sight, and she expressed her admiration to Maoxiang many times, but did not get his approval. At that time, Mao Xiang's heart was on the famous prostitute Chen Yuanyuan. Dong Xiaowan is talented, can poetry and painting, and is especially good at playing the piano. Dong Xiaowan has a gentle personality and is good at coaxing people. After she entered the impostor's house, she got along extremely well with Ma Gong, the mother of the impostor, and Su Yuanfang, the wife of the impostor, and Dong Xiaowan respected and obeyed them.
Jia Shen's change, risking Xiang's eagerness to flee, threw away the family property completely. Life is difficult, food and clothing are difficult to take care of, Dong Xiaowan has become very weak, risking several consecutive serious illnesses, all of which are taken care of by Dong Xiaowan alone, her body collapsed in an instant, and she could not drink a sip of water for more than twenty days. On the second day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651 AD), Dong Xiaowanxian died at the age of 28 and was buried in Rugao Ying Mei'an. That year, Shunzhi was only fourteen years old. After her death, Mao Xiang said that his lifelong blessings had been enjoyed in the nine years he had spent with Dong Xiaowan.
Dong Xiaowan has just died, and He Xiang and a woman surnamed Wu have the same disease and have a long-term relationship. However, Mao Xiang took the maid Wu Koukou as a concubine. Wu Nu was disappointed and escaped into the empty door. Mao Xiang did not force his stay, and built a small temple next to the Yanghua Bridge in the south of the city, named "Farewell Temple".
When Mao Xiang was fifty-five years old, Na Cai Han became a concubine. At the age of fifty-seven, he took the golden key as a concubine. Cai Hangong painting, Jin Yue Shanzhi seal, known as "Mao's double painting history". Mao Xiang and the two of them are also old friends, dong Xiaowan was alive, he was idle in the "Dyeing Pavilion", and it was not their turn to be favored. As soon as Dong Xiaowan died, it was their turn. When Mao Xiang was sixty-eight years old, he took another concubine, and the concubine bore him a daughter.
Mao Xiang's calligraphy was learned from Dong Qichang. He has made great efforts in learning Dong Qichang's calligraphy and is deeply influenced by Dong's aesthetic taste. His calligraphy is in a constant and soft atmosphere, which shows the layout of Xiao Shan and elegant, and his works have an ethereal charm. Mao Xiang also has his own, his calligraphy pursues a kind of clumsiness, he likes to use the flat style to compress the glyph space, which undoubtedly benefits from Su Dongpo. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Xiang's calligraphy creation was more bold and ostentatious, showing a unique artistic personality of looseness and wilderness. He uses thick or light ink colors, or urgent or slow rhythms, eclectic, free to swing, the perfect fusion of movement and stillness, just as his article is depressed.
Mao Xiang can not only sing, write, write, write, and compose, he also draws. Most of his paintings are sloppy and do not seek utilitarianism, and his paintings do not have any traces of the shackles of the sect, but go with the fashion of the times and go free. Therefore, looking at his paintings, we do not ask for the form of God, but only seek to get God with the form. His paintings are most significantly influenced by Dong Qichang, and he is super direct with his literary thinking, knowledge, talent and insight. Dong Qichang's true value provides an excuse for the discovery and confirmation of value for the game life and art of literati and scholars. The paintings of craftsmen and artists are worthless; the ink of literati is the true meaning of art.
The strength of the Mao family made It possible for Mao Xiang to see the famous relics of the Song and Yuan dynasties from an early age, and during the Chongzhen years, he once took the famous works of his family with him and consulted Dong Qichang in the "Hanjiang Zhouzhong" (Yangzhou). Roughly speaking, the use of his painting language is based on the Yuan people, especially Ni Zhan and Wu Zhen as models, and thus understand Dong Qichang's "painting Zen" spirit. The paintings that have not been handed down for generations are accustomed to showing more looseness and casualness in their brushwork, which is different from the rigor or craftsmanship usually possessed by professional painters.
Lu Xiuhui has a poem "Song for the Invasion of Xinjiang", a poem cloud:
Ru is a big white,
Used to looking for flowers in the fangs.
Can also compose poetry,
Feasting on the intestinal doves poisons the intestines.
The world is in chaos at this time,
Falling flowers spring color jade lou bi.
A few circles into a hollow promise,
Provoke the three laurels to keep coming.
Poor little man,
Miao LingYu served the soup in his hand.
Xianggong lies in bed,
Sixty days and nights are full of heaven.
On the back of the gangrene jealous Yicai,
Leaning on Xiao Wan sleeps narrowly.
Sit for a hundred days,
Sit back and relax.
The woman is so into the power of joy,
Bitter but small but small feet.
Extremely weak people do not support,
Leave the jun empty people to remember.
If you hate disease in this life,
Why get drunk Tai Chi.
Dong Eunuch of Calligraphy and Painting,
A lifetime of deep roots.
The wind and currents gently turn to the clouds,
Lotte knows the fate of the old days.
There is Jianfeng in the mountain,
Travel all over the world and sink into the chest.
