son of one of the four Republican Yuan Kewen
Yuan Kewen (1889-1931), the word leopard Cen , No. Hanyun, from Xiangcheng, Henan, Kunqu Opera, one of the four sons of the Republic of China. Known as the "Tianjin Youth Gang Leader" during the Republic of China, he was the second son of the President of the Republic of China Yuan Shikai. It is known as "Golden Rong and Du Yuesheng in the south, and Yuan Hanyun, the leader of Jinbei Gang in the north".
Yuan Kewen is the second son of Yuan Shikai. His biological mother, the Kim family, is from North Korea. Yuan Shikai served as a business representative in the DPRK in the late Qing Dynasty, where he married the aristocratic Kim family and two girls who accompanied the Jin family to marry. Later, she was also taken as a concubine by Yuan Shikai. Not long after Yuan Kewen was born, he was adopted by Mrs. Shen, Yuan Shikai's beloved aunt. The Shen family had no children, and was fond of Yuan Kewen, almost to the point of being obedient, so Yuan Kewen was stubborn and unruly by nature, and never read seriously. But he is very smart. He has ten actions in one eye, and he never forgets it. He likes to sing Kunqu Opera, plays with ancient money, and is fond of literati.
Yuan Kewen was born to Yuan Shikai's third concubine Kim, a North Korean. Because the aunt did not have children, Kewen was adopted by the aunt since she was a child. The auntie loves this son very much, and any request he makes will be met.
Yuan Kewen was very smart since he was a child.So even though he doesn't read well like the king Xue Pan , but he writes poems, fills in lyrics, and writes all of them well, and his words are elegant and unrestrained. Therefore, Yuan Shikai had some preference for him, and even wanted to make him "Prince" for a time. The arrogance of the aunt and the preference of Yuan Shikai created Yuan Kewen's profligate, willful, and arrogant playboy character, who did everything in eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking (opium). He also spent money to join the " youth gang " and became an "old man" of the "big character generation". In addition to Yuan's wife Liu Meizhen, he also married five concubines: Qingyunlou, Xiao Taohong, Tang Zhijun, Yu Peiwen, and Yaxian. There are even more mistresses who have no status or "Once Spring Breeze". According to insiders, there are seventy or eighty.
In addition to being good at calligraphy, poetry, lyric writing, and writing articles, Yuan Kewen also loves to sing Kunqu Opera. He plays both Xiaosheng and Ugly very well. After Yuan Shikai's death, he was out of control and began to "fan drama", that is, to be fancier. One year, he co-starred with Chen Delin in "A Dream in the Garden" at the Xinmin Grand Theater in Beijing. His eldest brother Yuan Keding (Yuan Keding became a "parent" after Yuan Shikai's death) knew about it and thought his behavior as a "player" "dishonored the family style". , so he notified Beijing police chief Xue Songping and asked Xue to arrest him. Xue was inconvenient to dodge, but he felt that this was an "internal conflict" of their Yuan family, so he went to Yuan Kewen to talk about "Brother Ling's meaning". Yuan Kewen said with a smile: "There will be another one tomorrow. After the singing is over, I will not sing!" Fans have to bring their own expenses to sing on the stage. Yuan Kewen sang these two plays. It is said that he spent three or four thousand silver dollars.
Because Yuan Kewen spends money like water, the inheritance of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars he shared from his father was quickly used up, but he couldn't put it down, so he had to rely on selling characters, Selling to make a living. It is said that his handwriting is very good. After drinking three glasses of wine, he gallops freely in his handwriting, and he is very passionate and has the style of Su Dongpo . Shandong Superintendent of "Dog Meat General" Zhang Zongchang asked him to write a picture of Zhongtang,The price is 1000 yuan silver ocean. The reason why there are so many people asking him to write is because some people say that his handwriting is really good; but others say that this is because he is the son of Emperor Yuan.
Yuan Kewen died in Tianjin in 1931 at the age of 42. The family couldn't afford the funeral for him, so he "helped" his disciples and grandchildren together to help him do it. During the funeral, people in the "gang", as well as monks, Taoists, nuns, and lamas from Tianjin, all came to pay their respects.
I like to collect books and antiques. Buy
ancient books, gold stones, calligraphy and painting, coins, stamps, etc. with huge sums of money. Living in Shanghai for many years, I like to study gold stones and ancient coins . Work in calligraphy, can poetry. In order to purchase ancient books, I used Fang Erqian and Li Shengduo as teachers. After half a year, I became quite familiar with the study of editions and began to devote myself to the purchase and collection of ancient books. Zhi , Xu Fang , Wu Changshou , Yang Shoujing , Deng Bangshu and other bibliographers have hundreds of kinds of essences of Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. He heard that Huang Pilie has a special collection of Song editions of "One Hundred Songs and One Book", so he built the bookstore as "One Hundred Songs and One Book", such as the Song block version "Yuxuanji Collection", which was previously collected by Huang Pilie, and has a lot of postscript knowledge. Later, he became attracted to Lu Xinyuan's "Wan Song Lou" and changed it to "Wan Song Book Collection". The collection of Song edition books reached 200, surpassing that of Huang Pilie. He also collected the Song towel box editions "Book of Changes", " Shangshu", " Mao Poems", " Book of Rites", "Zhou Li", "Book of Filial Piety", "Analects", "" Mencius and other eight classics,The calligraphy is as thin as a hair, and it is extremely beautiful.
Yuan Kewen has a bold and unrestrained nature. When he sees the Song and Yuan Dynasties, he will try to buy it. Most of the books in the collection are the collections of the Qing court, with 29 kinds and 116 volumes being the most valuable. He especially liked the eight collections of Song towel box books, including "Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", and set up the "Eight Classics Room" to store them. The 13 giant frames of Buddha statues painted by Yuanren are rare treasures. Therefore, the "Eight Classics Pavilion" library was specially set up to store it, and in 1926, Tao Xiang was entrusted with photocopying. Purchased dozens of fine works from the collection of Sheng Yu's family, such as Southern Song Dynasty Shaoxi period engraved edition " The Book of Rites and Justice", 70 volumes, which historians call "the first orphan in China", the engraving is extremely exquisite, and each volume has Ji Zhenyi_ span18span Tibetan prints, Northern Song Dynasty This "Dialect", etc. Another example is Song Wei's "Quanjing Sound Discrimination", "Yuhu Jushi's Collected Works", "Annotation and Straightforward Commentary of Laozi's Ancient Book of Tao Te Ching", "Excellent Ci Selection", " Book Fu Yuan Gui", "Shu Xian Congshu", "Annotated Works", "Su Poems", "Zhou Lizhu", etc., as well as dozens of Yuan periodical, Ming-cut and refined manuscripts. Mutual researched editions with famous masters at that time, such as Xu Senyu, Fu Zengxiang , Zhou Shutao, etc., and had contacts with Fu Zengxiang, Xu Senyu, Zhou Shutao, etc., and researched editions and cultural relics.
During the period of the Republic of China, Yuan Kewen, Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Boju and Pudong were called "Four Great Young Masters". . The collection of books is printed with "The Emperor's Second Son Chapter", "The Lonely Book in the World", "Tiger and Leopard Cave", "Cloud Tower", "The Lonely Book Room", "The Master of the Song Collection of the Song Dynasty is a nine-year-old Xiaojing", "Eight Classics Pavilion" , "Shi Er Wen Yun's Palm Records", "Han Yun Appreciation Notes", "Ke Wen and Mrs. Mei Zhen share the award", "Wei Geng Yin Wu Yi Jiang", "San Qin Qu Zhai", "Hundred Song Dynasty Yi Jiang" , more than 30 pieces, such as "Master of the Wall", "Both of Life and Death", etc.Among them, "To Live and Die" is dedicated to the most treasured book.
In his later years, he lived in Shanghai, and his livelihood was getting worse. The collection of rare books was collected by Fu Zengxiang, Ding Fubao, Ye Dehui, Liu Chengqian and other bibliophiles.
had a great influence on Yuan Hanyun's humanistic studies, and was not as great as his teacher Fang Dishan . Dishan is full of talent and is known as the genius of Jiangdu. Jufan poetry, calligraphy, painting and antiquity are omnipotent, and the joint name of good works is important for a while. Han Yun directly inherited the teacher's learning, and the sensitive school is strong in mind. Before he went into office, he was known to his father's generation for his literary talent and good rhythm. In 1914, Yi Shifu selected his few works, which were published as "Han Yun Poetry Collection" in three volumes. There are many works by Yisheng, but they do not cherish themselves, so they could not be printed during his lifetime. It was not until many years after his death that Zhang Boju and others compiled the "Huanshang Ci" and put it into mimeograph. Dishan is good at making joint language, and it is known as the joint saint. Han Yun is also good at this way, and he has done a lot. Han Yun is also addicted to Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera, and is a famous ticket for Beijing and Tianjin. Not only is he proficient in drama theory, he has written articles on drama reviews , and he can also make an appearance. He once performed on the same stage with Ouyang Yuqian , Mei Lanfang , Ma Lianliang , Yu Zhenfei and others. Regarding the story of his acting, the recently deceased epigrapher Zheng Yimei has a short vivid description in the article "The Life of Yuan Hanyun": Emperor Wen, in "Game News". Fan Junbo wrote the poem on it: "If you have feet that don't step on the dust of the north, this body is Jianwen's body.The idle monk is full of history of rise and fall, and he composed the palace, the merchant, and the people.” When he acted in the play, he touched his own life experience, which was desolate and desolate, and his heart was full of anger. Fang Dishan burst into tears when he heard it.
The text "touches his own life experience" "The so-called refers to the conflict with his brother Yuan Keding. When Yuan Shikai proclaimed the emperor and changed the Yuan Hong Xian, there was a sudden suspicion of Han Yun who was planning to build a reserve. Han Yun begged his father to follow the Qing system and grant him the second son of the emperor to dispel doubts. At the time of Hongxian, Han Yun tried his best to buy and beg for the Song edition book, and the obtained book was stamped with "the emperor's second son's seal", so as to hide himself from trouble. There is an unspeakable secret between their brothers. Han Yun compares himself to Chenliu Wang , one thinks that his talent is enough to be with Cao Zijian, and the other is that cooking beans is the same as Zihuan's persecution. The two did not communicate with each other. Later, Han Yun died of illness, and Huang Zhiqing and his person mourned the poem. : "If you are not an emperor or a prince, you are better than Chen Si." Forty years ago, I bought a thick lithograph copy of "You Lin Yi Draft". No difference, it is a book made by Han Yun. I remember that this book has the seal of the "Emperor's Second Son", but I don't remember what kind of seal. In the past, I saw a "recruitment letter treasure" at the place of Mr. Luo Zemin of the ancient Qian family. Qian Tuo, with "the second son of the emperor" oval-shaped round Zhuwen seal on one side, should be regarded as a relic of Hanyun. This seal is very finely engraved, and it is comparable to the famous painter Pu Ru's commonly used seal "old king and grandson". Here is this The backgrounds of the two seals are different, but the Indian languages are all suitable for the identity of the owner of the seal, reflecting the smell of the celebrity school, which is very different from those who pretend to be crazy in the seal. Zhou Shutao Zhang. Briefly said: Han Yun has a wide range of knowledge and talents. If he distributes his envoys to others, he can make many famous people. Being teased by others.
Growing up in such a family, he spent money like flowing water in his life and never cherished money. In 1918, Yuan Kewen went to Shanghai for a visit, and it is said that he spent 600,000 oceans at a time. Tuo Gu to Xu Shichang,So after Yuan Kewen came back, Xu Shichang, the president, wanted to break his leg with a cane.
Yuan Kewen has been under the tutelage of masters Yan Xiu and others since he was a child, and he has won their advice and edification. In addition, he has worked hard, so he is excellent in poetry and poetry, and is an expert in both Chinese, chess, calligraphy and painting. Yan Xiu is known in Tianjin as one of the four major calligraphers in modern Tianjin (namely Hua Shikui, Meng Guanghui, Yan Fansun, Zhao Yuanli). , Zhen, Cao, Li, and Zhuan are all exquisite, and they are swayed with ease, and they are all perfect.
Yuan Kewen has spent a lot of time on the post, especially the " Lanting Collection Preface " stele, which is more his favorite. For this reason, he has collected many rubbings of the "Lanting Collection Preface". Speaking of "Orchid Pavilion Collection", there is a good story.
In the past, Wu Buchan (Zi Maocai) had a famous "Lost Water Orchid Pavilion", which is very rare. Because Wu is a member of the Yu ethnic group, there is a postscript by Xianyu Xueshi after the post. This post is obtained from Haiyuan Pavilion Yang Zhitang's family, and there is a letter from Bao Shenbo and Ding Jianqing to Yang Zhitang on the "Lost Water Orchid Pavilion". . During the Hongxian period, Wu Buchan was attacked by a group of minions who were keen on the monarchy because he wrote a letter to discourage the monarchy. Therefore, Wu Huaibao's ancestral "Lost Water Orchid Pavilion" was sold to Wang Shitong. Wang is a connoisseur of goods, so he kept Wu's lunch and read this post carefully. It happened that Yuan Kewen came to visit. After Wang informed the matter, Kewen said: "I am willing to take you to Tianjin, and then take a boat back to the south." Yuan Kewen left "Lost Water Lanting Post" and accompanied Wu Maocai to Qianmen Station. However, when he arrived at the station, Yuan Kewen realized that he was empty and broke, so he had to borrow five yuan from the servant and bought a ticket to send Wu Maocai to Tianjin. Wu Maocai was moved and said: ""Lost Water Orchid Pavilion" should be renamed "Five Yuan and One Life Orchid Pavilion"."Yuan Kewen came back and fell in love with "Lost Water Orchid Pavilion", copied it every day, and wrote "Five Yuan, One Life Orchid Pavilion" on the post according to a joke of Wu Buchan. When Rui was in power, someone from Jingzhaoyin invited Wu Maocai to go north to participate in politics, but Wu Jian refused and said, "I don't have a second "Liaoshui Lanting Tie", and besides, there is no second in the world. Young Master Cold Cloud. Five yuan is rare, and one life is hard to come by. I will never go to Beijing again. "After this post, it was in the hands of Yu Ren, which is quite an anecdote in the literary world.
On the one hand, because of his special status, on the other hand, it is also because Yuan Kewen's words are indeed hot, So no matter where he goes, someone always asks him for words. Yuan Kewen's handwriting is clean and handsome, with no craftsmanship. It has both cloudy and spring-like heart, which is naturally extraordinary. He is interested, so he left ink everywhere. When he was too shy, he hung up the list and cooked words to cure his hunger. Every time he traveled south, he came with a fat horse and light fur, and when he returned, he was full of pawns. , then there is only one way to sell characters. One year when he was in Shanghai, he stayed at the Dadong Hotel, and he couldn't read it. Nobita and others ordered a pen list on behalf of a small quotation: The master of Hanyun is fond of ancient books, and he has won the essence of the three generations of Han and Wei. For example.
In the summer of the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), before returning to the north, he made a self-made order, a small introduction to the cloud: March southward journey, in the late sea, the quiet place on the first floor, the sack is very small, has been Laughing at Dianqiu, I am more worried about Yimi, I can vend the book, A Duo came, and I sent my arms to chat with the general to live. I am addicted to scabs and stench, or there are others. It will last for twenty days. You can wait now. Just like this, a couplet of 10 taels and 8 taels, there are a lot of people asking for it, and it was introduced by his disciples. He couldn’t leave within the 20-day period, and he didn’t want to leave even if he had money. In the winter of this year, he returned to Tianjin again, and he probably ran out of money again.The advertisement of "Cold Clouds Selling Characters" was published in Beiyang Pictorial:
Two yuan per foot for continuous screen, vertical and banner paper, and one yuan per square foot for half paper. The price of each folding fan is 6 yuan. It is not too big or too small. The above are all based on the running script, the seal is twice as straight, the regular and the official are added half, and the point is different. First moisturizing and then writing, relatives and friends are halved, and the cost of grinding ink is increased by 10%.
When his purse is at its tightest, he never reaches out or opens his mouth to those passers-by in the political arena. At that time, " Northeast King " Zhang Zuolin and Shandong governor Zhang Zongchang once hired him as a senior councilor or advisor. Of course, he did not want him to do anything by taking advantage of his qualifications and fame, but he rejected them one by one—the second master did not serve him! Ordinary people may not believe that Yuan Kewen is so poor that he needs to sell words to support his life? It is also true that after Yuan Shikai's death, his brother Xu Shichang presided over the separation, and each son received a share of 120,000 yuan. In addition to cash, there were ten gold bars, some stocks, and real estate. Because Yuan Kewen was adopted to the Shen family since he was a child, one person can share a double inheritance, which can be enjoyed freely. In fact, most of Yuan Kewen's family property is in the hands of his wife Liu Meizhen. Liu was afraid that he would be a waste of money, and he would not be willing to spend his money, so for the sake of future generations' livelihood, he controlled the money and did not give him money. Yuan Kewen is only in name only, so he had to do a little "side business" to make his money a little richer.
In 1922, his books were so prosperous that he was published in newspapers to reduce profits. He wrote forty couplets in one day, all of which were sold out. He bought Hu Kaiwen's ancient ink and wrote 100 couplets to reward his friends.
In the 11th year of the Republic of China, a typhoon hit Chaoshan and more than 100,000 people died. Facing the severe disaster, Yuan Kewen sold his beloved copybook for disaster relief. One is Song Dynasty The jade edition of "Lanting Post" in the Xuanhe period, Ke Wen personally inscribed and signed on it and cited the beginning and the end. There is also a folding fan with ancient gold and silver coins on one side and inscribed by hand; on the other side is a red plum painted by Tang Zhijun.
Yuan Kewen's writing has its own uniqueness, that is, he can use the paper to hang in the air without a table, and the two ends are held by people. . Writing small characters is even more amazing, because he was breathing haze all day long and was too lazy to get up, so he lay on his back on the bed, holding a piece of paper in one hand and a pen in the other, writing out of thin air. After writing, look at it again. The font is beautiful and there is no skew or distortion. My friends watched and were amazed. At that time, various tabloids in Shanghai asked him to write their mastheads, and some novels also asked him to sign. Once, a man named Tao Hancui asked him to inscribe the cover of his "Republic of China", and he swiped it. Later, the novel was published and gave him a volume. After reading it, he was greatly regretted. It turned out that the book scolded his father Yuan Shikai, and he never dared to socialize easily.
