Life of the characters

From a famous family, he is a mason

According to genealogical records, Wu Yin is the 17th grandson of the Wu family in Shanyin Prefecture. Among the descendants of the Wu family, the Wu Yin family is a famous family in Zhoushan. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Dui, the Minister of the Ministry of war in Wanli period, the governor of Jiliao period, and Wu mengming, the governor of dongsifang and the leader of the royal guards in Chongzhen period, are all his lineal ancestors. In the era of imperial examination, Wu Yin's ancestors enjoyed the reputation of "grandfathers and sons Jinshi". His sixth, eighth and eleventh ancestors were all Jinshi, and his ninth and tenth ancestors were also from the military examination. Although Wu Yin had this family background, he had no chance with the imperial examination and became an ordinary people. Because of her family's difficulties, when she was in her teens, Wu Yin had to go to a tablet shop in Hangzhou to learn tablet carving, and gradually became a famous seal Carver of Zhejiang School. According to the data analysis, before 1903, Wu Yin's main occupation was to engrave steles. In his later years (51 years old), he also engraved the stele of Ge Fu Jun's family, so the career of stele carving ended Wu Yin's life. Among Wu Yin's stele inscriptions, his ancient and modern couplets collection inscription, which was completed in 1900, is particularly worth mentioning. It was a pioneering work at that time that 367 couplets of 296 famous people in Ming and Qing Dynasties were reduced by photographic technique and then carved in stone. Each tablet is 76 cm long, 32 cm wide and 6 cm thick. There are couplets on both sides of the tablet. It is now in the forest of Steles in Hangzhou. As for the reason of Huike, Wu Yin said in the postscript of ancient and modern couplets Huike: Yu "likes seal cutting. When he first grasped the tube, he felt the couplets on the wall to play with, although his father and teacher did not change it. Both long, and Heinrich tour, expand the celebrity handwriting more. He borrowed it from many places and carved it in stone by Taixi photography. Over a long period of time, he has obtained more than 300 copies, which are divided into 12 volumes. Comrade Fu Qian's books are circulated on the right, so that the viewer can have textual research. This is the beginning of the story. " "Ancient and modern couplets collection carving" was completed in 1900. In order to expand its influence, Wu Yin also invited calligraphy, painting and celebrities at that time to sign autographs or write biographies. Wang mingluan, Yang Wenying, Cai Yuying, Shao Xiyuan, Wang Tong, Sheng qingfan, Da Bi, Chen Hao, Fei Nianci, Li Liangyu, Yan xinhou, Pu Hua and Jin Jian have signed their names successively. The biographies are written by Wu Guxiang, Jin Erzhen, Zhu Jingyi, Wang Xirong, Hu Chuan, Wang tonglie, Lu Hui, pan Zhenyong, Wang zhangtong, Ye Ming, Yan Yibin, Zhu Fu, Zhenzhou and ye Hanxian, as well as Weng Tongfu, Tao junxuan and Wu Changshuo, Yu Yue, Yang Shoujing, Tao junxuan and Yan xinhou. At that time, all of them were in Huike. As soon as it was officially published in 1906, it became popular and successful. Up to now, there are still two pieces of his inscriptions in Xiling Seal society, both of which are in Yangxian Pavilion. One is Ding Jing embedded in the front wall, which is "carved for Wu Shiqian" in the manuscript of Xiling Seal society. The other is the inscription on the stone round table in the pavilion, which was written in 1910. there are also many inscriptions of Wu Yin in Zhejiang Province, such as the rebuilding of Eryan stele in Xicun village of Jiangcun in 1887, the politics of gaoyingshi, magistrate of Longyou in 1889 and the poem stele of Nanshan, Senior Minister Chen Ziyu in 1892. The inscription of founding Changshan academy unearthed in Jinhua in 2010 is the work of Wu Yin when he was 24 years old. The inscription was written by Chen Wenlu, the then governor of Jinhua, in 1890.

Make friends with literature and make friends with celebrities

Wu Yin's success in the cultural circle of Hangzhou and Shanghai as an apprentice of a tablet shop has something to do with his interest preference. While studying inscriptions in Hangzhou, Wu Yin, together with Ye Ming, who is also the founder of Xiling Seal Engravers' Association in the future, went to the door of Dai Yongbai, the Minister of the Qing army and the son of Dai Xi, a landscape painter, to learn ancient Chinese prose and seal cutting. Wu Yin likes to buy ancient books and collect all kinds of rubbings of gold and stone for his own study. When he has good books, he also gives them to Miao Quansun, a famous book collector who is known as "the four great talents in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China" and asks him to evaluate them. At the age of 20, Wu Yin wrote a poem to record her experiences and thoughts at that time: "if you dare to spend time in leisure, you can break the stone tablet and ruin the stone tablet. If Jinshi is able to portray for his ministers, he will follow his knife and brush. " It is Wu Yin's greatest opportunity to make friends with Wu Changshuo, who is famous for his poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. When Wu Yin began to engrave, he learned some styles of the Zhejiang School. The later "blunt knife center method" was taught by Mr. Wu Changshuo, and the style of printing changed greatly from then on. After Wu Changshuo moved to Shanghai, Wu Yin also gradually developed to Shanghai. Together with Wu Changshuo, Wu Yin successively participated in Shanghai calligraphy and Painting Research Association, Shanghai Tijin Museum and other social organizations, of which Wu Changshuo was the president. At the founding meeting of Xiling Seal Engravers society in 1913, Wu Yin strongly recommended Wu Changshuo as the first president of Xiling Seal Engravers society. in addition to Wu Changshuo's support, Wu Yin also received the care of Yan xinhou, an industrialist from Cixi, Zhejiang Province and the owner of Shanghai xiaochanglu Pavilion. In 1898, entrusted by Yan xinhou, Wu Yin made up the inscription of "stone carvings of Tang poetry by two kings" and "collection calligraphy of xiaochanglu Pavilion", and together with Ye Ming, he carved "Cong calligraphy of xiaochanglu Pavilion". Yan xinhou is a tycoon and leader of the chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. He made friends with celebrities. Wu Yin grasped this opportunity very well. Therefore, meeting Yu Yue, Yang Shoujing, Weng Tonghe and other famous officials and scholars played a great role in expanding Wu Yin's social circle. Wu Yin is also a very savvy person. Inspired by Yan xinhou's xiaochangluguan jizitie, he took the opportunity to collect couplets of ancient and modern celebrities and engraved them on the stone, which provided conditions for the publication of ancient and modern couplets Huike in the future.

Building the society and expanding Xiling's career

In the summer of 1904, Ding Ren, Wang Zhen, Ye Ming and Wu Yin initiated and founded the Xiling Seal society in Gushan, West Lake, Hangzhou, with the purpose of "preserving gold and stone and studying seal studies". Later generations called them the "Founding four heroes" of Xiling Seal society. As one of the four founders of Xiling Seal society, Wu Yin is undoubtedly the most dynamic person in the early days of the society. In 1914, after the founding of the Xiling Seal society, Wu Yin and his colleagues from the Jinshi painting and Calligraphy Association of the Haihai Tijin Museum donated money to build the "yinxianlou" (also known as Tijin Museum) on the top of the isolated mountain. In 1915, Wu Yin bought a piece of land in Gushan and built Dunan, Qianquan and Weiyin Pavilion. In 1918, Wu Shangqing and Wu Mingyan, who died in the end of the Qing Dynasty, planned to commemorate Wu's death at the age of 1918. In 1923, Wu Xiong, the son of Wu Yin, built a "amituo Sutra building" on the left side of Dunan, while Wu Shanqing, the grandson of Wu Yin, built Guanle building, HUanpu Jinglu and Jianting in Gushan. It can be said that most of the humanistic buildings of Xiling Seal Engravers at that time originated from Wu Yin's side, and even later generations regarded Wu Yin as the "God of wealth" when they commented on the "four heroes who created the society". In terms of operation, Wu Yin is undoubtedly the most outstanding among the "four heroes of the founding society". He was good at seizing business opportunities, and obviously had the characteristics of literati. Xiling Seal society gave him an excellent platform for development. As a result, Wu Yin rose from a tablet maker to a well-known cultural industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Qianquan seal clay and its printing, calligraphy and painting publishing are still loved by cultural people. originally, Wu Yin and his wife made their own inkpad for their own use and delivery. Wu Changshuo was very appreciative of the inkpad, so he encouraged Wu Yin to set up an enterprise to make inkpad. The enterprise used the name of Xiling Seal society, and the Shanghai Xiling Seal society founded by Wu Yin was born. Wu Chang Shuo personally wrote a signboard for this enterprise, chose the deep rose red color, and gave it the good name of "beautiful special sand clay". In order to expand the influence of inkpad, Wu Changshuo lent his seal to Wu Yin, so Wu Yin became Wu Changshuo's four volumes of foulu Yincun and published it. Later, Wu Changshuo also published his calligraphy and painting works in four volumes by Shanghai Xiling Seal society.

The name is just like the person, and the virtue is praised

Wu Yin is modest. During his ten years of founding the society, he often exchanged views with Ye Ming in Hangzhou and Shanghai for the establishment of the society. He also often led the way in dealing with the outside world. During this period, he made the most donations. Later generations commented that in the past ten years, Wu Yin had "performed the duties of the president without the name of the president". Ten years later, when the first president was brewing, Wu Yin did not take credit and strongly recommended Wu Chang
