There are no historical records detailing Wang Ximeng's life. This story is entirely fictional.
A sweet and refreshing article about childhood sweethearts!
It takes a hundred years to cross the same boat, and a thousand years to sleep together. How much fate does it take for childhood sweethearts like this to stay together for a lifetime! Some time ago, I was lucky enough to see the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" on display in the Forbidden City in person. I have to say that any pictures or textual descriptions are insignificant in front of this authentic work. So majestic, yet so delicate. As a tourist a thousand years later, it is a pity that it is impossible to know what kind of tenderness and vast emotions are contained in the painstaking writing of an eighteen-year-old boy. This article can be said to make up for the little regret in my heart. Such a talented young man may really have a sincere relationship (p. S. Jiangshan is more suitable for beauty~cough cough) I wonder if any of the little people in the Jiangshan picture is Yun Niang holding a new chrysanthemum?
Certain memories of childhood are indeed indelible. Even if you grow into a graceful girl, what you miss in your heart is still the little person who painted with branches on the mudflat when you were a child. A new chrysanthemum is a little girl's sincere love and an innocent confession. Although the words are childish, they are true to their word. Who would have thought that an unforgettable love that lasts a lifetime could originate from this fate in childhood. Having said that, maybe every girl has such a wish, hoping that even if the boy she admires has a country in her heart, she will have her own place in that country. "Draw you into the world" is no longer just a casual remark of two children, it has gradually become a lifelong commitment. It's a promise they spend their whole lives keeping.
Wang Ximeng is indeed a handsome young man (not just in the article, I think someone who can paint such a work must be like this!). He is not reckless and rough like a young boy, but he is not as dull as an ordinary scholar. He is gentle and kind, and sincerely dares to express his feelings. I couldn't help but smile knowingly when they met each other in the courtyard. For a ladylike girl and an ordinary art academy scholar to express their feelings face to face is extremely rare in a society where giving and receiving are not close to each other.
It's so happy to see them succeed in cultivation and finally become husband and wife. The parents of the Lu family are really generous, hahaha (the halo of the big gray biological mother is shining again). Sure enough, geniuses will always get opportunities. Under the appreciation of the emperor, Wang Ximeng also showed his talent, and finally produced the masterpiece "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". He has always kept his promise and cherished the country. At the same time, he deeply loves Yun Niang, who has always supported and cared for him.
It's a pity that God was jealous of Yingcai. It is said that he died young because he put too much effort into "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". After all, I couldn't accompany Yun Niang to see all the mountains and rivers. But Yun Niang is right, "the future is long." As long as this emotion lasts forever, the mountains and rivers will be in my heart.
Finally, seeing the passage of time to the present, I feel a little relieved about Wang Ximeng's departure. It is still the love for art, and it is still the true love of boys and girls. The feelings have been passed down for thousands of years, but the sincerity is still there. No matter what age you are, you should believe in beautiful love.
Even if I see all the country, I still have the one I love in my heart. I hope everyone can get such a sincere feeling. The big gray "I Wear Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" should be updated soon. Come and support me~
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good looking
Xiang Yin Chang looks good, and so does this short article! If you have the chance, you must see with your own eyes the journey of a talented young man!
Will the series of cultural relics in the Forbidden City be continued? We are brothers from generation to generation and this picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are both very beautiful! Expect to see more!
You are my beautiful country. So flirty, so sweet! I really hope that kind people can last forever~~~especially kind-hearted people who are geniuses
There are talents in the world, and love in the world is as deep as the sea. The ending feels so warm.
Got it from Weibo. This series of articles is so interesting and fascinating! Ziyou's article and this one are both beautiful and touching, and they are also very informative!
Ma'am, don't hit me, because I really like "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". There are a lot of bugs in the article...
"Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was painted by 18-year-old Wang Ximeng. He was famous as a young man... In fact, he was appreciated by others. If you read the postscript of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" carefully, you can find the name of the person who appreciated him. Yes, it was the infamous Northern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Cai Jing.
Although there is no record of Wang Ximeng in official history, this person can be discovered from subtle details. (For the same, please refer to Zhang Zeduan and "Along the River During Qingming Festival")
The silk used for painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was given to Wang Ximeng by Song Huizong. Song Huizong also asked others to paint other paintings on the same batch of silk. Which one is not famous now? Song Huizong's "Auspicious Crane Picture", "Guo Guo Lady's Spring Outing Picture (Song Dynasty Copy)", and Li Tang's faded "Thousand Valleys Pine Wind Picture Scroll".
Moreover, "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was not called "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" at that time. It was not named until the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Wang Ximeng's library was really miserable. It was equivalent to someone who studied painting and copied big calligraphy for others. His profession was not relevant at all. If Cai Jing hadn't been promoted to help him later...
You talk too much nonsense and cover your face. Come on, madam...
You have to do something in life to know the value of the world
