A mixture of addiction and addiction

The former part talks about a famous collection institution in the United States, "Ten-Faced Lingbi Mountain House", whose name comes from Wu Bin’s Ten-Faced Lingbi Picture, which was collected by the owner of the mountain house in the 1980s for $1.21 million, breaking the previous record of ancient Chinese painting auction. Wu Bin’s "Ten Faces Lingbi Picture" originated from "Shi Chi" Mi Wanzhong. Mi Wanzhong (1570-1628) is a famous scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, named Zhongzhao (1570-1628). His calligraphy is as famous as Dong Qichang’s, and he is known as "Nandong Beimi". Mi Wanzhong is known as "Good Stone", and is also known as "Mr. Youshi", and traces this hobby back to his ancestor Mi Fu.
Miwan Zhong once wanted to collect a Fangshan stone. Chang Sanzhang, seven feet wide, employs hundreds of migrant workers. It took seven days to pull the stone out of the mountain and a long walk to Liangxiang. Money is gone. We had to build a large shed nearby and send people to look at it like guarding ancestors’graves. Every year, we would like to visit our ancestors. More than a hundred years later, Qianlong shipped the stone to the Summer Palace. It’s the famous Qingzhijiao. Miwan Zhong also inherited Mifu’s love for stone portraits. From painting coral to inkstone to describing magical stones, Mifu’s behavior of taking stones as his brother and friend is an eternal masterpiece.
Among the Tibetan stones of Miwanzhong, Lingbi stone is an important one. Among the Lingbi Stones in its collection, there is a special top-grade stone called "non-non-stone". Although non-stone is only one foot eight inches high, it is only medium in scale, but it has its unshakable status. The unique feature of this stone lies in its unique surface. Ancient people often regretted that Lingbi Stone could not be all over the United States, but there were not only four sides but also ten sides of Lingbi Stone. Therefore, Miwan Zhongte asked Wu Bin to paint for it. This is the Ten Faces Lingbi Picture. This nine-meter-long scroll, expressing this vivid three-dimensional miracle stone in a two-dimensional plane, is powerful and illusory. It has become a representative of avant-garde innovation in Ming Dynasty paintings and one of the most respected and legendary peaks of Ming Dynasty paintings.
After Wu Bin’s painting was finished, Mi Wanzhong "searched all over the world for the title" and invited friends from all over the country to appreciate the inscription, which became a great event in the cultural circles at that time. The last part of this picture volume was Mi Wanzhong’s love for this Bible stone in 1610 and the origin of this painting, as well as Dong Qichang, Chen Jiru, Saying’a, Li Weizhen, Ye Xianggao, Qiying, Zou Diguang, Zhang Shiyi, Gao Tuo and Huang Ru. The inscriptions and postscripts of ten literati and Tibetans of Heng Dynasty. Zhang Nai recalled that people were playing stone-appreciation pictures at Mijia. This set of spiritual stone pictures started with only eight sides. Yang Sichang (1588-1641) suggested that ten sides should be painted, and Longyan (1560-1622) called it non-stone. As is often the case in ancient literati’s elegant collections, once this name is published, it wins a lot of lamentation and deems it appropriate. Miwan Zhong saw the awl hook sword, the ancient snow frozen spring, the shower Shi and the dancing swallow from the non-non-stone. These are the shapes of spiritual stones, from which Dong Qichang sees the winding of water, the sharp edge of gold, the beautiful wood and the ups and downs of earth, which can be called the God of spiritual stones. But in fact, this stone is not a sword, a snow-fei spring, a water-fei-jin, a wood-fei-tu; like Qilin and dragon, although it is like a deer or a snake-tiger, it is not a deer or a snake-fei-tiger; and it is precisely this paradox that makes these two animals the spiritual beasts in people’s hearts. For the same reason, non-ferrous stones, which are all-inclusive and unconventional, have won high praise and become the treasure of the town hall in Mi’s Tibetan stones.
The ten facets of Lingbi painted by Wu Bin are particularly brilliant. They are the gods of strange stones. The shape reflects vividly and vividly, looking from a distance like a mountain peak, like a flame, and looking closely at the texture like hair. Dong Qichang in the inscriptions and postscripts called this stone as the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth show, taking Sun Bian’s painting of fire as its example: "Shaozi in the Song Dynasty said that there were gold, wood, water, fire, earth and stone, which is different from Hong Fan’s five elements. Gai Shi has the five elements of the show, such as Zhongzhao has hidden volumes. I can’t see this stone. Wu Wenzhong’s paintings are all based on Sun Biao’s fire painting. Therefore, the spiritual light leaps over and wants candles. As for meandering and sagging, it is regarded as the view of water, as the view of gold, as the view of wood, and as the view of earth. Mi Wanzhong in the "back right side" title: "peak to root, if plant if stand, if stand if line, if hold if servant, if hold if tease, not the same shape. And if you drink clouds and thunder, you will be terrible, and if you flick, you will be beautiful, and you will be amazing.
Unfortunately, Feifeishi has no idea where he is now. Fortunately, this "Ten-Faced Lingbi Picture" is still vividly portrayed in the world, so that people can still appreciate the exquisite Mijia Tibetan Stone and the exquisite painting skills of Wu Bin.
