Legend of Aquilaria Street: Xiang Molin angrily burned the Aquilaria bed, and Zhang Tailiu missed many lovers (part two)

After it was smashed, not counting, he ordered the agarwood bed to be burned in the courtyard on the spot. Xiang Molin's imposing manner and means were seen by people in the courtyard as rich and rude, and no one dared to stop him. Anyway, there is nothing that money can't solve, so he is willful.

When this agarwood bed caught fire, the smoke curled up and the fragrant wind scattered, and the whole city smelled of agarwood.

Think about it. An agarwood bed is not a small thing. How much does it smell after burning? It is said that the strange fragrance in the city has not been exhausted after four or five days.

Because of this incident, the street burning agarwood beds became famous. Later, even the name was changed to agarwood street.

At this point, the legend of Aquilaria Street has been finished, as the saying goes:

Xiang Molin burned the Aquilaria bed angrily, and Zhang Tailiu missed many lovers.

The above are legends. You can do all kinds of things according to your own thoughts.

Next, let's talk about the real Xiang Molin.

Xiang Yuanbian, born in the fourth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1525), died in the eighteenth year of Wanli in Ming Shenzong (AD 159). His name was Zijing, and his nickname was Molin Mountain, Molin Buddhist, Xiangyan Buddhist, Tuimian Temple Master, Tuimizhai Master, Huiquan Mountain firewood, Molin Nencuo and Yuanyang Lake.

Ming Guo Zisheng, a descendant of Xiang Zhong, was a famous collector and connoisseur in Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to Xiang Zhong, of course, we can't ignore him. Xiang Zhong was born in the 19th year of Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty (AD 1421). He was born in Jiaxing (now Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province), a political figure of Ming Dynasty. He was a scholar in the seventh year of Ming Yingzong orthodoxy (AD 1442). Later, he was appointed as the director of the Ministry of Punishment, and was promoted to Foreign Minister. Ming Yingzong Tianshunchu (Tianshun * * * eight years, AD 1457-AD 1464) was appointed as the inspector of Shaanxi, Ming Xianzong Chenghua ten years (AD 1474) was promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ming Xiaozong Hongzhi fifteen years (AD 152) died at the age of 82, and was awarded to Prince Taibao. Xiang Zhong is a charming man, broad-minded, proficient in military affairs, upright and upright, good at handling political affairs, and his position has been particularly praised by the people.

Xiang Yuanbian is good at appreciating, knowing the truth and falsehood as soon as he passes by, and analyzing it unscathed. At that time, there was no one like him, so he collected epigraphy, calligraphy and famous paintings. I once received an iron harp with the word "Teana" on it, so I named its library "Teana Pavilion".

Xiang Yuanbian invited Wen Peng and Wen Jia to be Wen Zhiming Zi, Wen Zhiming, four gifted scholars in Wuzhong (commonly known as the four gifted scholars in the south of the Yangtze River) and one of the four gifted scholars in Wumen. Brothers appreciate each other. History says that "three treasures are secret, and they return to the stream."

The books in Teana Pavilion are exquisite. Wang Shizhen was born in the fifth year of Jiajing of Shizong in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1526), and died in the eighteenth year of Wanli in Ming Shenzong (AD 159). He was a beautiful character, named Fengzhou, and a native of Taicang, Suzhou Prefecture, Zhili, Mingnan. He was a scholar in the 17th, a juren in the 18th, and a scholar in the 22nd. He was an official in the Nanjing Criminal Department, and he was given a gift to Prince Shaobao. Wang Shizhen, Li Panlong, Xu Zhonghang, Liang Youyu, Zong Chen, Xie Zhen and Wu Guolun are called "the last seven sons". After Li Panlong's death, Wang Shizhen dominated the literary world for 2 years, and he wrote Four Manuscripts of Mountain Man in Yizhou, A Collection of Mountain Hall, A Biography of Records since Jiajing, and A Record of Life. There are more than 3, volumes in Xiaoyou Library, and the Song version in Eryalou is even more famous in the world, but people still think that it is not as good as Lin Yuan.

At that time, Xiang Yuanbian in Jiaxing and Fan Qin in Yinxian were the leading bibliophiles in Vietnam and China.

Xiang Yuanbian's collections of calligraphy and painting include "Shi Ji Mei Tang", "Teana Pavilion", "Molin Mountain House", "Family heirloom forever", "Xiang Zi Jing Jia Treasures", "Li Wei", "Shi Ji Mei Tang Xiang family pictures", "Gu Kuang" and "Gu Cha".

Xiang Yuanbian is fond of making numerous seals on ancient books and paintings, which has been ridiculed by collectors: "It's like hiring a beautiful woman but ignoring her face".

Xiang Yuanbian's brother, Xiang Dushou, is also rich in collections, and his family has a "Wanjuanlou".

Xiang Yuanbian's youth means that he is smart, and his liberal arts are ancient, so he never wants to be an official. At that time, elegant people came to Jiaxing, and they must visit it. Wen Peng, Wen Jia brothers and others were particularly close to them. During the Wanli period, Zhu Yijun, Ming Shenzong, heard the name of Xiang Yuanbian, and gave him a special letter to sign him off as an official, but he did not go to his post.

Xiang Yuanbian is rich in family assets, and the famous things he has hidden are in the sea, and the name is "extremely prosperous".

Xiang Yuanbian has been passed down to later generations with the name of Teana Pavilion, which has long been destroyed. Today, the national treasure of the Palace Museum, Tang Libai's "The Upper Terrace Post", has been collected by him and printed as "Mo Lin Xiang Ji Zi". On the Qiu Jiang's Solitary Fishing Map collected by Yiying, there is also a white essay titled "Wang Sun of the West Chu", which is called after Xiang Yu, the overlord of the West Chu. Some of its collections were later collected by Suiyang Yuan Shu (Yuan Keli Zi).

Xiang Yuanbian once selected skilled craftsmen to make all kinds of utensils, such as several benches, cabinets and boxes, which are engraved with inscriptions and are extremely exquisite, such as objects from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Xiang Yuanbian is a painter and good at calligraphy. Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan, scholars of landscape studies, are especially fascinated by Ni Zan, whose brushwork is sparse and beautiful, and the harmony between God and nature is perfect. However, every painting must be inscribed, and the verbosity of its words is similar to its habit of never getting tired of printing. Therefore, some people who ask for paintings pay more than 3 yuan to bribe their servants, and when they finish painting, they will take it away to prevent the inscription. At that time, people nicknamed this money as "the money without the inscription". Calligraphy in and out of Tang Zhiyong, Yuan Zhao Mengfu, the best sentence.

There are Teana Pavilion Posts, Poems of Molinshan People, Nine Records of Banana Window, etc., and the Lanzhu Map has been handed down from generation to generation.

In June of the first year of Hong Guang (Nanming Year, AD 1645), the Qing army invaded Jiaxing Fucheng, and Xiang Yuanbian's collection was looted by the commander Wang Liushui, and it was completely lost. Later, some collections belonged to the Qing Palace, and now they are still in the Palace Museum and other museums in Beijing.

descendants of Xiang Yuanbian.

since Xiang Yuanbian, Xiang's family has been learning both calligraphy and painting, which can be described as a family origin.

Xiang Yuanbian's eldest son, Dechun, whose name is Mu, whose name is Zhenyuan, has no name. He is a master of calligraphy and calligraphy, and he is omnipotent in Jin and Tang Dynasties. As famous as his uncle Yuan Qi, he has a book called "Shuangmeitie". He is the author of Elegant Calligraphy and Poems by Yuan Zhenzi.

Xiang Yuanbian's third son, De Xin, has a new word. Craft landscapes and be good at sketching. The works are rarely circulated, and collectors get a piece of paper, which is as precious as a treasure.

Xiang Dexin's sons Jia Mo, Hui Mo and Sheng Mo are all named after paintings.

The son of Xiang Huimo, Kui Shan, works as a landscape worker and orchid bamboo, and Xiang Shengmo's nephew, a jade bamboo worker, writes cymbidium.

from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty, the descendants of the Xiang family appeared in painting circles one after another, with a large number, but at the same time, the Wen Zhiming family could be on a par.
