Lu Xun and The Stories of Collection

Turning to Lu Xun's diary, we can see that Lu Xun went to Liulichang very frequently. From1965438+May 2002, he went to Liulichang four times in a month, and every time he got something: Mr. Lu Xun arrived in Tianjin by boat on the 5th, and arrived in Beijing at 7 pm, and got a copy of the Pantheon in Vietnam. On the afternoon of June 5438+02, I went to Liulichang, visited the ancient library and bought Fu's Zhuan Xidian Series. 2 1, I walked outside Xuanwu Gate in the evening and got two flower books with ten coppers. On the afternoon of 25th, I went to Liulichang to buy Li Taibai's collection of works, Guan Yuan's "Buddhist Sutra of Destiny Determination" and China's famous paintings. On the evening of 30th, I visited Liulichang and bought a history book with two volumes. Li Longmian sketched a picture of nine songs, and Luo Liangfeng drew interesting ghost pictures. Through rough statistics, we can know that Lu Xun went to Liulichang more than 480 times and bought more than 3,800 books and inscriptions during his 14 years in Beijing. Lu Xun gradually formed the habit of visiting Liulichang. For example, when he goes to Liulichang, he often drinks tea at Qingyun Pavilion, a comprehensive department store located at the west exit of Kannonji Street. He drinks tea there, sometimes buys some tooth powder, shoes and socks, biscuits and the like, and then strolls to Liulichang to buy books. He sometimes goes to Xishengping Bath (located at the east exit of Litie Guai Xie Street) to take a bath or get a haircut. After Xishengping Bathroom closed, he went to Dongshengping Bathroom in Yangmeizhu Xiejie, which is close to Liulichang, for a bath or haircut. After drinking tea and taking a bath, Lu Xun went for a walk in the quiet Liulichang to find the books, inscriptions and cultural relics he needed. As for the annual temple fair in Changdian, Lu Xun, who lives so close, certainly won't miss the opportunity. Every year, he lingers near the bookstall in Changdian, lingering. After Lu Xun settled in Shanghai, he still became attached to Liulichang. 1May, 929 15, Lu Xun returned to his relatives' home in Beijing, stayed for 19 days, and returned to Shanghai on June 3. Besides speaking, he also went to Xishan to visit Wei Suyuan, an old friend of the unnamed society and a seriously ill young translator. After that, Lu Xun went to Liulichang three times, bought seven kinds of rubbings of tombs of the Six Dynasties on February1,and bought dozens of stationery in Nanzhi shops such as Jingwenzhai, Baojinzhai, Chunjingge, Songguzhai and Miqingting on the 23rd and 28th, indicating that Lu Xun had begun to study notation at that time. In addition, he also bought a book from the East Asia Company run by the Japanese. Lu Xun always takes every opportunity to try his best to collect his beloved books. For Lu Xun, buying books is not only the need of reading, teaching and researching writings, but also the source of life fun and spiritual nutrition. Wang, who has lived with Lu Xun's mother for many years, recalled: once, Lu Xun's mother advised Lu Xun to buy a few acres of land and eat white rice himself so as not to buy it from others. Lu Xun said with a smile: "Tian is useless, I don't want it!" " "Finally, he said," it is better to buy more books! "Second, Mr. Lu Xun collects rubbings of portraits of China. Mr. Lu Xun has a special hobby for the collection of rubbings of portraits of China. The so-called stone carvings in the Han Dynasty are murals carved by the Han people on tombs, ancestral temples and stone tombs. They have a distinctive theme and are very decorative. They are a combination of myths and legends, laws and regulations, local conditions and customs, and are known as the "Han History of Xiu Xiang". It inherited the simplicity of Warring States painting and was the first in Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is a treasure in China sculpture art. Lu Xun grew up listening to and watching magical stories full of imagination. He showed great interest in painting when he was a child. Many years later, he still misses the album Shan Hai Jing given to him by his mother. As early as the early years of the Republic of China, Lu Xun began to collect stone carvings of the Han Dynasty. In September 2003, Lu Xun's diary191recorded: "Ten rubbings of Hu Shandong's portrait. "Lu Xun often hangs out in places like Liulichang in Beijing and sometimes asks friends to buy it. 19 14 Lu Xun tried to collect all kinds of Buddhist scriptures and cared about Buddhist stone carvings in past dynasties. Lu Xun once said to Xu Shoushang: "The patterns of portraits in the Han Dynasty are wonderful and adopted by Japanese artists. Even scales and claws have been praised by western famous artists, saying that Japanese patterns are magical, but they don't know that their origin comes from our Chinese paintings! "According to statistics, from 19 13 to the 1930s, Lu Xun purchased more than 6,000 kinds of rubbings of stone carvings. In his letters to friends, Lu Xun praised the * * * stone carvings for many times as "profound and heroic". 1935165438+10 15, Lu Xun wrote to his friend Tai Jingnong, saying, "I have collected a basket of Han Dynasty stone reliefs one after another, and I plan to print them all first, whether they are finished or incomplete. They are classified as follows: 1. Cliff; Second, the door and the door; Third, stone chambers and halls; Fourth, the remnants are the most. "Lu Xun died two months after receiving the last batch of Nanyang Han painting rubbings. 1986 Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House published Lu Xun's Portrait of Tibetan and Chinese, which was jointly edited by Beijing Lu Xun Museum and Shanghai Lu Xun Museum. 3. Ancient coins collected by Lu Xun. During Lu Xun's several years in Beijing, there were more than 40 records about collecting ancient coins in his diary, and he bought more than 70 pieces of ancient coins/kloc-0. Only pre-Qin coins include blank hand cloth, pointed foot cloth, round foot, neat knife, Zhao knife, Yanming knife and other coins. Lu Xun's collection of ancient coins has a high starting point and does not take the road of curiosity and money. Instead, it closely combines the search for ancient money, the study of coin knowledge and theoretical research, showing its profound knowledge, insight, extraordinary aesthetic insight and colorful life interest. 1914165438+1On October 20th, Lu Xun came across a piece of San Qian's Duanping Bao Tong in the Southern Song Dynasty in a stall. This is a very rare currency, mixed in the ancient money pile of the Southern Song Dynasty. He found it with a unique eye and bought it for 30 coppers. This is a big loophole. 19121February 2005, Lu Xun and his friend Ji Zi begged to go to the factory to buy ancient money, and they found a copy of Forty Springs in Zhuang. This coin is the best in the "Six Spring and Ten Cloth" made by Wang Mang in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He bought it at once for 20 coppers. In that day's diary, he clearly wrote: This coin is "a counterfeit currency", which shows Mr. Lu Xun's ability to appreciate and distinguish counterfeit currency. Lu Xun also designed the "Twelve National Emblems" silver coin for the Republic of China, also known as the Dragon and Phoenix Silver Coin. " "Twelve Chapters" are twelve auspicious patterns commonly seen in ancient costumes: sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, China insects, Zong Yi, seaweed, fire, pink rice, flounder and glutinous rice. Later, Yuan Shikai betrayed the Republic of China, and public opinion demanded the abolition of the Yuan Datou pattern, so he changed it to the "Twelve National Emblems" designed by Lu Xun, which was cast into silver coins by Tianjin Mint, circulated in Beijing and Tianjin, and was collected by Lu Xun Museum in Beijing. Fourth, Lu Xun's print collection. In 2009, the exhibition "Life and Creation of Lu Xun" jointly organized by Guangzhou Museum and Shanghai Lu Xun Memorial Hall was widely exhibited. In the exhibition, some representative prints of the new woodcut movement have become the focus of attention. The prints on display this time include "Looking at the Ship" and "A? Save the nation from extinction, March, mutiny, Hunger on the roadside by Zhang Hui, Picking up the cinders by Chen Yanqiao, Sculpting the Security Guard, Hu Yichuan's Terror, etc. , a total of 15 pieces, with 65438 painters. Through this exhibition, we have a comprehensive understanding of Lu Xun's printmaking collection. In addition to China prints, Lu Xun also collected more than 2 100 original foreign prints in his life, involving more than 200 printmakers from 16 countries. Most experts and scholars who study Lu Xun in China's art circle list Mr. Lu Xun as the first person in China's print collection. There are 150 modern woodcut authors in Lu Xun's collection. There are 57 authors with profiles, including 29 from Guangdong, which shows that Guangdong was a very active and active area in the emerging woodcut movement at that time. Lu Xun
