Wang Zhen

Wang Zhen

Wang Zhen (1904 ~ 1971), born in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, is the owner of Daozhen room. Graduated from Beijing Peihua women's school. Her grandfather, Wang gengmei, was the magistrate of Guangdong Province. His father, Wang shouchang, is the first interpreter of "the lady of Camellia". Wang Zhen is his eldest daughter. She ranks seventh and is called the seventh daughter. Shouchang's "shuzhenxianernv" poem says: "my family is really and leisurely, which is quite strange. Never pay attention to sewing, but to writing. When it comes to marriage, anger is in the form of color. It is said that the father loves his daughter and drives he Taiji away. He who marries a girl without success is a thief. Look at the past and the present. Men and women are against each other... " It's about Wang Zhen and Wang Xian's neglect of needlework and delay in writing and ink.

Life of the characters

Wang Zhen learned from Zheng Rong (Wu Bian), he Zhendai, then Chen Yan, and Zhou Yu (Yu Yu). Wang zhenxue's painting can be finished within a hundred days. Mr. Pan Zhulan wrote: "Naixuan poetess, who painted landscapes under the guidance of Mr. Zhou Yuyu, is close to Dong Qichang's method. These ten volumes are exquisite and valuable." Jin Tianyu, the author of Nie Hai Hua, has a good friendship with Wang Zhen. He once gave Wang Zhen a nickname "Xue cong", implying that Bing Xue is clever. Later, under the pseudonym of "xuecong", Wang Zhen wrote special columns of "xuehualou congtan" and "daozhenshi essays" in Huabao. Every time Wang Zhen wrote poems, he would hate to be a woman. His tours were limited to Gushan in Fuzhou and West Lake in Hangzhou. In order to realize his great ambition, Wang Zhen decided to follow Chen Yan North. She visited famous mountains and rivers, experienced places of interest all over the country, and wrote numerous magnificent poems praising the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Wang Zhen is fond of reading and collecting books. Chen Yan, her teacher, once mentioned the situation of her family's collection of books in the sequel to Shi Yi Shi Shi Hua Shi Hua: "there are ten thousand volumes of books in Dao Zhen Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Shi Hua, standing on both sides of the wall, almost like a house." We can see the wealth of his book collection. Her collection is printed with "Wang Zhen's collection of books" (Zhu Wen), "Naixuan's collection of books" (Bai Wen), "Daozhen's collection of books" (Zhu Wen), as well as "people who are greedy for reading old books are poor for buying books". The above seals are mostly engraved by famous artists. Wang Zhen's calligraphy is graceful, smart, vigorous and powerful, especially in small regular script. He once wrote several Buddhist scriptures by hand, which are stored in Yongquan temple, Xichan temple and other famous temples in Gushan, Fuzhou. In 1936, when collating her father Wang shouchang's Xiaozhai manuscript, her brother Wang Mai's qiaoqian manuscript and her compilation of Wang Jiacheng, she wrote them in small block letters. After one year, they were photocopied by Shanghai Commercial Press. Chen Yan and he Zhendai each wrote a preface, while Wang Jingqi and Wang Zhen each wrote a postscript. There is only one set left in this book, which is very precious. This book records Wang shouchang's contacts with Yan Fu, Lin Shu, Chen Yan, he Zhendai, Zheng Xiaoxu, Li bake, Gao Fengqian and other cultural celebrities at that time in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is a rare historical material for studying Fuzhou's literary and artistic activities and people's contacts at that time. Respecting teachers is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Wang Zhen took his mentor Chen Yan as an example and admired the morality of his articles. On the way to the north, I care about Chen Yan everywhere. In 1937, after the death of my teacher, every year on the memorial day of my teacher, a memorial service was set up at home. Even in the difficult period of the "Cultural Revolution" when the family was copied, there was no interruption of the memorial service to the teacher. In the summer of 1940, he Zhendai, 74 years old, was seriously ill. He had no income, and his life was very difficult. In the time of poverty and illness, Wang Zhen and his female disciples reached out to help, not only financially, but also in front of the bed. Because of their careful care, he Zhendai escaped from death. He Zhendai wrote a poem to record the early recovery of a serious illness. In the summer of 1948, there was a huge flood in Fuzhou, and many houses collapsed. He Zhendai lives in nansanguantang (daguangli), which is low-lying, flooded and covered with eaves. In a hurry, he overlaps two wooden pots and squats in them, floating in the water all night. The next morning, the water was more fierce and it was difficult to support. Fortunately, Wang Zhen arrived at the news and hired a boat to rescue his husband. Later, he rescued his family and settled in "Guangfu Mountain House". The water retreats. My husband wrote a record of the flood. Wang Zhen's bravery to save the teacher made the he family very grateful. He Zhendai presented to Wang Zhen the precious things that emperor Puyi gave to Chen Baochen, which are gold wrapped with silver and silver wrapped with gold. After Wang Zhen's death, there was no descendant. It was sold on the market. Fortunately, it was bought and preserved by those who knew the goods. Huang Zengyue, a close friend, is a famous scholar studying in France and her elder martial brother. Huang Zengyue was persecuted to death in the "Cultural Revolution", and a large number of works were scattered. Wang Zhen risked his life to collect dozens of poems and articles so that valuable manuscripts could be preserved. Wang Zhen not only respected his teachers but also loved his students. She has taught in Fuzhou women's middle school, No.11 middle school and No.19 middle school, and won the respect and love of the students. In class, she is attentive, and her voice is so loud that even the students in the next class can hear her clearly. Wang Zhen is a conscientious and responsible teacher. He is friendly to his classmates and makes them feel at ease with Mr. Wang. In 1933, when Wang Zhen was 29 years old, her mentor Chen Yan had failed to match her. Wang Zhen never married. Wang Wenyuan, her nephew, said: "she takes art as her lifelong pursuit. She is proficient in poetry, CI, calligraphy, painting and playing the piano except chess. In order to make art perfect and win more time, she has to give up love. "

In his spare time, besides reading, Wang Zhen mainly concentrated on painting and calligraphy, and often worked late into the night with fruitful results. Her excellent works of calligraphy and painting have participated in many provincial and municipal exhibitions of calligraphy and painting, and participated in various poetry reciting activities, which have won high praise. In the 1930s, Wang Zhen had contacts with Yu Dafu, a famous writer and poet. Her books and paintings were appreciated and praised by Yu Dafu. During the Anti Japanese War, he and his colleagues founded Fuzhou Huabao, actively wrote articles to publicize the Anti Japanese War and wrote down the enemy. Wang Zhen's works include the second half of the fifth volume to the eighth volume of Chen Shi Yi chronicle, collection of Daozhen chamber, collection draft of Daozhen chamber, brief notes of Fuzhou Shuo Shi she and reminiscences of 20 years. She once participated in Minhou County annals edited by Chen Yan and left some paintings. During the "Cultural Revolution", Wang Zhen's family was copied and ten thousand volumes of books were lost. It is said that at that time, more than ten boxes of books, poems, paintings, diaries and notes were copied, and some of them were sent back, but they were beyond recognition. Wang Zhen died on July 6, 1971.
