Liu Xianxing

Liu Xianxing

Liu Xianxing (1857-1949), whose name is Yubo, was born in Shuangliu, Chengdu, and was the grandson of Liu Zhitang, the master of Western Sichuan. During the period of the Republic of China, one of the famous five elders and Seven Sages in Chengdu was named shimingjingyulou.

Life of the characters

Mr. Liu Xianxing has left an impression on the world: one is to persuade good people, the other is painting and calligraphy, and the third is education. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, because of the unprecedented humiliation suffered by the Chinese nation in the past 100 years, most of the cultural elites spared no effort to absorb western civilization and excessively negated traditional culture, some even negated Chinese characters.

Liu's family began to persuade benevolence in Tang Gong Liu Yuan. "Chunhua street was originally named sanxiangzi, but later it was renamed Chunhua street because Liu Zhitang lived here to preach. It means "pure people's heart, influence the public". In the fourth year of the Republic of China, there was also a horizontal plaque on his front door, which was written by Wu Songsheng, an Hanlin of Qiongzhou Liu Xianxing took huaixuan theory as the purpose, started with persuading kindness, published publications, implemented relief, inspired kindness in the end, and encouraged good deeds in the end. In 1941, he published the complete works of jingyulou and xindeshan in Shanghai Daode publishing house.

After Yan Kai resigned and returned home in 1918, he and Liu Xianhe jointly set up Leshan public office in North Yanqing temple, Chunhua street, Nanmen, to relieve the poor. Almost every day, Liu Xianxing followed the example of Weng Tonghe, a calligrapher, and marked the word "runbi fee". Among them, 70% donated to the relief cause and 30% donated to the family. In 1931, after the flood in 17 provinces, Chengdu relief association from all walks of life started to collect cold clothes. Liu Xianxing, as a famous villager in Sichuan, personally wrote an article entitled "public enlightenment of Chengdu Relief Association for cold clothes from all walks of life".

The character is like a person, and he is broad-minded and open-minded

Calligraphy is a way of life for Liu Xianxing. No matter writing couplets and plaques for temples, persuading others to do good deeds or writing for others, his works always have a kind of elegant and elegant style, which shows the interest of Huang Tingjian's calligraphy implicitly or obviously. His works are elegant, ups and downs, and elegant, reflecting his broad-minded life realm.

Calligraphy purport

Why is Liu Xianxing's calligraphy purport like this? His university colleague song Chengzhi said in his article "memorial service for Liu Yu:" I still remember that not long ago, he was still able to speak. I went to his bedroom to look at the cause and said, "what should we see in a hundred years? Gai selfishness thinks that it is rare for old people over 90 years old, and his heart for life and death has been explained for a long time. ". Old Yu replied, "what do you know about the situation after death? However, there is always one death in life. If you want to die, you need not worry about it. You don't have to be happy or afraid. " Another of his friends, Lin Sijin, said in the family biography of Liu junyubo in Shuangliu: "however, you don't want to be proud More than ten years later, he was tired and retired, and youyou died. In the nineties, there are two, the gods are clear, there are no groans and pain, and there are no Taoists. Who can be equal to them? " Friends saw his transparency.

When Zhao Xi, a poet and calligrapher who was also one of the "five elders", died, Liu Xianxing personally wrote elegiac couplets: "there are only two people left in the five elders, but they are sad for you. If Jiuquan meets three friends, he says I will come." The first couplet laments the death of an old friend. The second couplet humorously tells the dead that death is nothing but the beginning of another life. Such an attitude towards life is reflected in Liu Xianxing's walking lines and ink paintings. It must be natural and broad-minded, and it must show the wisdom and talent of art masters.
