Layout of former residence

The "divine product" Deng Shiru has influenced generations, and also made his former residence full of books. Under the influence of Deng Shiru, the style of writing in wuheng township is prosperous, and everyone loves to write and write. Many peasant painters and calligraphers emerge, becoming a well-known "cultural town" in China

. In 1986, the people's Government of Anhui Province announced it as a key cultural relics protection unit at the provincial level. In 1987, the central Ministry of culture allocated 150000 yuan to renovate it.

In December 2016, Deng Shiru's former residence was selected into the list of national red tourist attractions.

In the crevice between the westernized "small western style building" and the red brick and black tile, the tieyanshan house is more abrupt. Tieyanshan house was built in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. In 1794, he returned from Wuchang and built a house the next year. It was named "iron inkstone Mountain House" after the iron inkstone presented by Bi Yuan, governor of the two lakes in the Qing Dynasty. The plaque written by the mountain people hung in front of the door.

The simple wooden doors, the courtyard walls covered with ivy, the lush trees in the courtyard, and the unique flavor of the old house make people doubt the passage of time. Two hundred years later, the iron inkstone mountain house is still standing, but the mountain people who waved ink to raise cranes have long gone.

The main building of tieyanshan house is a brick and wood structure with four entrances. The first entrance is the hall with three bays. There is an official script of "tieyanshanfang" inscribed by Deng Shiru's son. 2、 Three into a two-story Pavilion style building, five bay wide, two deep. The second one is called "Shouyi hall" with three rooms in the main hall. Deng Jiaxian, the founder of the two bombs, was born in the West House of "Shouyi hall"; the third one is called "Yan Yuju". The fourth is warehouse. On both sides of the main building are the courtyard of zhaiguan, the old "Qiusheng hall" and "yicui building", and the peripheral is the garden.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers and grass in the courtyard, the old man told the story that happened in the Deng family's big house: when he went to Beijing with huiban, a man named Deng Shiru from Huaining, Anqing, rode into Kyoto on a donkey. His outstanding achievements in calligraphy and seal cutting shocked the government and the public. His works were regarded as "divine products" by people, and created the "Anhui school" in seal cutting art. He is Deng Shiru dressed as a fisherman In the 10th year of Jiaqing (1805) of the Qing Dynasty, on the fourth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, Deng Shiru died at the home of "tieyanshanfang".

Deng's big house is still beautiful, with college students, masters and students studying abroad. The spiritual power of Tieyan mountain house is still nourishing this land.

Life of the characters

Deng Shiru (1743-1805) was a calligrapher and seal cutter in Qing Dynasty. Huaining, Anhui Province (now belonging to Yixiu District of Anqing City), was originally named Yan. Because of avoiding Jiaqing, it was taboo to use the word line. It was named wunbo, wanbaishan, guyoudaoren and guhuanzi.

Deng Shiru was born in a poor family. His moral character of "not showing off" and his studies of "learning and doing honestly" as well as his unruly character of ao'an had a subtle influence on his growth. At the age of 9, he had studied for one year, and after stopping school, he made a living by picking firewood and selling cakes and bait. Later, he made a living by writing and engraving. Around the age of 20, he began to travel all his life, wandering the rivers and lakes, looking for teachers and friends everywhere. He once worked for 8 years in the Department of Mei, a great collector in Jiangning, and soon won the award of Cao Wenyu, Jin Fuzhi and others. In 1791, he worked as an assistant to Bi Yuan, governor of the two lakes, for three years. Deng Shiru was a great calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, who was good at four style calligraphy. His seal script first learned from Li Si and Li Yangbing, and later learned from the stele of Chan state, the stele of San Gong mountain, the stele of Tian FA Shen Chen, the inscriptions on stone drums, the inscriptions on utensils and inscriptions of Han Dynasty. He used zhe FA as a seal to break through the fence of jade seal in the past thousand years, and opened up a new world for the seal script in Qing Dynasty. His seal script is flexible and square, which is close to the tiles and steles of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Lishu came out of the stele of Han Dynasty. It has a close structure, strong appearance and great momentum. It also makes Lishu of Qing Dynasty look new. Regular script is based on the inscriptions of the Six Dynasties and the style of Ouyang Xun's father and son. The style of writing is firm and firm, and the character is close, so it has a strong momentum. The cursive script mainly absorbed the cursive style of Jin and Tang Dynasties, which was slow and elegant. Cursive script with big characters has broad atmosphere and boundless artistic conception. Generally speaking, seal script is the most successful calligraphy, followed by regular script, line and grass. Deng Shiru was also a seal Carver, who created the Deng School of Wan school. He used small seal characters to emphasize the style of strokes, vigorous and simple, vigorous and graceful, calligraphy and seal cutting complement each other.

Deng Shiru's life, accompanied by hard work and self-reliance, devoted almost all his life to art as "friendship". It's a pure artist's "carefree" life, which is his own way and freedom.
