Playing the Qin in a Secluded Valley [幽壑鳴琴圖]

The poem inscribed in this painting reads: "Ten thousand layered lofty mountains are presented to the cultivated eye, A thousand feet of cascading falls cleanse the dusty heart. May the harmonies of my red-stringed tune Be the humble answer to the pine wind's ancient song." Different versions of this painting exist. Scholars have suggested that the solid renderings of the rock masses and the volumetric mountain configurations as seen here appear more characteristic of Lu Zhi 陸治 (1496–1576), Wen Zhengming's pupil. (by Wen Zhengming, 1548)

PERNOCTANDO EN EL TEMPLO DE LA CELESTE FUENTE

Con rezo y campana entro de noche en la Celeste Fuente; risueño, me suelto el cinto en la nave desierta, y duermo. Departo luego con los monjes, todos viejos conocidos, ¿por mis obras no fue que vine a sentarme al estrado? Pinos y enebros remotos mecen la luna de la sierra; torres y logias señeras duermen entre foscas nubes. Bajo el polvo ¿cuántos años tendrá aquel poema? Trato de leerlo a la luz del farol, y me rindo, perplejo.

宿靈源寺

夜隨鍾梵入靈源   一笑虛堂解帶眠 鏇接僧談多舊識   偶依禪榻豈前緣 離離松檜搖山月   兀兀樓台宿暝煙 塵句何年傳倒此   燭燈試讀已茫然

For who really like the "subversion of stereotypes" (no shame of other tropes, i just like variety), I feel very lucky to have known Yan Xiaohan, Wen Kexing and Yan Zhengming in danmei fandoms.

Top gay men who doesn't feel threatened if they get called wife or other fem cute nicknames, there is no toxic masculinity who coincides with the "i'll be less of a man if I get called wife/princess etc, after all I'm the top in bed so I'm the Man" mindset. They give no fuck 👌

I repeat, no shame to different dynamics but it's refreshing and nice and so real to me personally seeing also this fluid representation on mlm couples 🌈

I've discovered a horrible secret third thing: match-ups hard 😢

The answer to why I would match certain contestants up is always one of two things btw:

I didn't. It was random, or that was just how the tournament progressed. I had almost no hand in this beyond running the polls

I purposefully and maliciously did so because I thought it would be funny, and it always is. It's my little evil treat for being a good boy

Wen Zhengming - Tasting Tea, 1520 AD

[ellsieee]

Running Like A Shooting Star is a bromance if you squint, and an enjoyable university sports (track and field) series about friendship, overcoming adversity, and fighting for your dreams if you don't. It's fun to squint though.

Just teaching your bros how to slow dance.

Sure Yiran had just found out about Qi Tian's burdens, but did he have to look at him like that?

Qi Tian not denying anything.

Qi Tian breaking character by using his own name (he's playing Wen Zhengming, a famous Ming dynasty painter/scholar), and basically proposing to Yiran. 🤭

Yiran suffering through injury and setbacks and then pushing Qi Tian away even though Qi Tian was trying to take care of him gave me so many feels. Qi Tian didn't get mad, he understood and cried for Yiran's pain. 😭

Of course Qi Tian would miss Yiran. Yiran isn't ready to say goodbye, though I didn't expect him to be so upset about Qi Tian saying he wanted to date someone other than him. 🤭

Yiran really does love Qi Tian. He flew out to Zurich just to cook for him? Qi Tian is less straightforward as usual, but I think him not wanting his team to join for dinner says it all. He wants his alone time with Yiran even though he's making excuses.

This is pretty much how it ends, and it feels slightly incomplete in terms of Qi Tian and Yiran's relationship, but then I remind myself this series is not actually a bl, and then it's fine. 😅 I also want to praise this series for showing track and field as being more than just running. One of the guys is a shot putter! My favorite old school Olympic sport.

The OST isn't bad either. No great vocals, but the songs are catchy.

Hundred Scenes of the South of the Yangtze River (2020) 江南百景图

Date: 2020 Platform: iPhone / Android Developer: Coconut Island Games Limited Publisher: Coconut Island Games Limited Type: Crossover

Summary:

In the past, Wu Zhongzi Wen Zhengming accidentally found a roll of residual paintings in the antique stall, thinking that it was a predecessor's work, and then took home to repair. However, it was found that there was no starting point or end point. So Fang knew that this painting was a son -in -law relic. It was created for the rest of his life for decades, and was named "Map of Jiangnan Hundred Scenery". As of its lanterns, it has not been able to draw a full picture of Jiangnan and the full history of history. Wen Zhengming realized that there was not much time left, and he ordered Wu Men to paint the painting properly, and he was transformed into the world. From then on, the picture roll has become the secret of Wumen. A hundred people compete for painting, adding thousands of mountains and mountains, and painting hundreds of beings. However, during the Wanli period, the Ministry of Rites Shang Qichang used his influence to forcibly take this painting and hidden in the book building. In the forty -four years of Wanli, the people copied Dong Jiang, and a fire made the Dong family treasure with the carved beam painting. The painting spirit was awakened by the hot smoke. The fire lasted for three days and three nights, burning the town in the town. Looking at the ruins of Yingtianfu, Hengshan Ju Shi Wenming once again lifted his hand again, inviting you to draw a brick and tile, one stroke one by one, and re -painted the bustling of Jiangnan in the past.

Landscape Under Snow by Wen Zhengming （1470-1559）

see the full image here

[vaisel-romantique]

Peach Blossom Spring (桃源問津圖) by Wen Zhengming (文徵明, 1470–1559), Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

Semilir angin menerpa—lalu si cerdik Kucica berkicau diatas ranting-ranting dari pohon yang mulai mengering disebabkan musim, gemercik air sungai beradu menuruni dataran yang lebih rendah, suara tawa dan canda kawula muda menggema seakan menyerbu dinding tipis kediaman pemukiman yang hanya berlapiskan kayu tipis yang dianyam oleh penduduk setempat. Tempat yang nyaman nan damai.

Mungkin hanya perlu memikirkan cara agar rumah hangat kala musim dingin menerpa, memanen sebelum musim silih berganti, atau berdebat perihal sepele dengan tetangga. Anjingmu memakan buah yang baru dipetik, lalu beradu mulut hingga tetangga lainnya mulai melerai.

Kamu tahu, musim dingin dibeberapa tempat kadang terdengar tidak masuk akal. Dinginnya membuat kamu berharap musim semi datang saat itu juga. Alas rumah dengan material kayu tidak benar-benar membantu.

Jangan lupa dengan kuali besar berisi makanan lezat yang uapnya menghantarkan aroma menggiurkan, kamu akan melakukan itu setidaknya dua bulan sekali, ada banyak hal yang bisa dirayakan disana. Orang lain akan datang dengan wajah sumrigah dan selimpah makanan yang turut mereka bawa—semakin meriah akan semakin baik, bukan?

Aku pikir bila harus menjalani hidup seperti ini mungkin bisa bertahan hidup sampai 100 tahun, tidak ada masalah yang benar-benar menyulitkanmu. Segala sesuatu yang berada disekelilingmu seakan menyokongmu untuk hidup lebih lama dari yang seharusnya, entah itu kutukan atau anugerah.

FIN DE AÑO, UN CLARO TRAS LA NEVADA, DESDE MI CHOZA DE LA SIERRA MIRO EN TORNO.

Cercado por el frío, no cruzo la puerta; regocijado en tal quietud, prendo un pebete.   Cántaro y copa lucen al sol que amanece; boyante claridad trepa por el pilar. Espigados bambúes no perturba el viento, mas no cesa el rumor de su jade esmeralda. Por la frente rebosa tanta placidez; ya disipado el vino, doy fin al poema.

歲暮雪晴山蔣肆目

擁寒不出戶   焚香娛燕清 朝日照盂盎   浮光上虛楹 修竹不受風   時時蒼玉鳴 閒情溢眉宇   酒醒詩亦成

文徵明

[tom5201314]

How did the rich people of the Ming Dynasty play?

One person described the situation as follows:

In the past, there were still few people who drove away from the end, and now there are three times as many people who go to agriculture and change to industry and commerce. In the past, people who had no wandering hands, now go to farming and wandering while eating, and twice out of ten. Most of the people say, has gone to farming six or seven.

In other words, in areas with developed handicrafts, even 60 to 70 percent of the people have become industrialists.

This has created a large number of people who have become wealthy.

When you have money, you have demands

The richer bureaucratic class began to play more high-end gardens (manor landscape villas).

Of the four major gardens we have today, Chengde Summer Resort and the Summer Palace are imperial gardens, while the others, Humble Administrator's Garden and Lingering Garden, were built by Ming officials.

The literati at that time were keen on gardens

Leaves to high, its bean area garden is also pavilions, winding paths through the quiet, to this day is also pleasant scenery.

The life of a rich man in the Ming Dynasty is not about the number of concubines you have, but the elegance of it.

The Wanli Yewo Compilation put it this way:

Play good things, to the ancient is valuable, but this dynasty is not, Yongle's clear red, Xuande's copper, Chenghua kiln, the former price then with the ancient enemy...... Therefore, the near out should be, starting from one or two elegant people. Appreciate the rub, originated in the south of the river good gentry, wave in the new an ear food, the great estimate said thousands, said hundreds, at every turn, true and false can not be distinguished. Even Shen (Zhou), Tang (Yin) paintings, superior Jing (Hao), Guan (tong); Wen (Zhengming), wish (Yunming) the book, into the Su (Shi), meters (Fu), its disadvantages do not know how extreme.

Some predecessors played with the carved lacquer of Yongle, the porcelain of Chenghua, the copper furnace of Xuande, and the calligraphy and painting of Wen Zhengming and Zhu Yunming are also difficult to find, so that many people buy each other. Many of these paintings appear to be fakes, but they are also hard to distinguish.

A rich man in Kunshan on Saturday, in order to celebrate his mother's 90th birthday, decided to hold a big event to show filial piety. Heavy money please Qiu Ying to the home, for the mother to draw "Zixu on the forest map". The banquet provided more abundant food than the court, and every month he lit a lamp and invited actresses to sing several times. The painting, which took six years to complete, was naturally expensive.

With the development of economy and business, people's thoughts and attitudes towards money have also changed.

There was a song called "Hillside Sheep Money is a good Man."

People in the world open their eyes to see that the hero money is a good man.

With all his intentions, it's hard to take a single step without him.

The kidnapper has money, and the crooked step is the same.

Dumb money, gestures look good now people respect is rich
