Inscribed甲申集。朱衣道人真山作。 Section 1東池元夜東池元夜月，故為寓人青。樹影冰塘靜，綃生淡墨娉。群兒嬉火塔，立我得漁亭。紅葉松扉小，僧燈應未扃。 Section 2七亘老杏厓邊紅瑟瑟，老杏懶於開。悔不斧斤斷，便隨時令摧。眾憐春色冷，獨敬傲枝才。對酒不成醉，原非狂藥媒。 Section 3東池得家信依右玄寄韻紫水舊榆城，悲凉水木楹。畫蘭難畹地，識字即瓜坑。池洑萍魚遠，花稍麻鵲輕。家書顛倒讀，有淚不知傾。 Section 4題陳十右玄買得韓雨公所藏管畫名畫滿兵市，貪夫賁育構。管紙淡無色，不顧慮難售。一士非新人，識自水園舊，見之動金石，饑餓忘前後。易歸意何得，似在園主遘。俗奴殊此義，真假滋疵咎，或復貌賞識，感傷為管瘦。手捫心代驚，幸畫無情竇。願言為畫謝，憐儂無地受。即使真有情，娉婷從少疚。砧藁嫁兩翰，習見未為垢。尚悔减紅綠，令人不騖走。今歸故人笥，得無怨側陋。 Section 5雨可惜清明雨，濛濛及此都。誣教田舍老，真作旱雲蘇。羞客深垂笠，臨岐懶問途。春光難著眼，花栁不如無。 Section 6自顧自顧亦何陋，乾坤雜我廬。星河照雙淚，騷楚異三閭。偃卧常蒙袂，何門可曳裾？壺觴愁不解，悔讀古今書。 Section 7賤殺賤殺栁顏厚，不知春屬誰。臨風弄新翠，倒影翳清池。意自能張緒，觀縱不漢儀，快心須一劍，砍卻看平夷。 Section 8願旱二首雨浸人心熄，旱燒冀復燃。燒之竟不熱，心臭腥寥天。願訴祝融帝，火龍揮三千。烈焰吐一世，熸此汚邪原。大地見高明，菑金頌聖賢。皇天知好生，安用禽獸填？烈哉伯益勳，上帝俞其炎。桓宣記有年，孔子尚不然。吾度夷齊心，不惡肥遺蛇。神州不生草，誰當有室家。釆釆首陽薇，豈能獨萌芽。樂哉無可食，早死心魂嘉。夏五過黃玉、黃土之師賈生，思卧，黄±具秋簟，樓外請賈生小憩。予戲曰：是謂曬尸，以師尸同聲。賈生冏，忌不吉語，遽起不卧。吾便便據之有詩遣憤。日夕直沔死，涕零吊屈時。哥舒誅既晚，魏勝起何其。枕簟高樓敝，河山決眥窺。此生無可用，偃仰曬吾尸。 Section 9題昌穀堂字，率意所及多蔓，不責侖昚一舞而見殺，有唐食馬報。歌工聲如雷，霹靂哀號叫。王鄭高才士，忍死戴紗帽。貴賤義懸紇，顛倒憤懷抱。不謂工書王，XX邀賊笑。不負臨寫池，絳碑就將造(府《寶賢堂帖》傳云摹自《絳帖》)。始知北地王，衒技少可耀。不然何無俚，淒涕哭宗廟。朽材分溝斷，翻譽為忠孝。百能即有濟，天受此墨妙。兒子習琵琶，指備身口道。所利有大小，得計則同調。宜乎略有能，惟嫌不冶躍，戴絃不輕鼓，老迂昧窽導。雲林重寫人，防人或有肖。貧道簡金石，念茲仰高蹈。作字如作人，亦惡帶奴貌。試看魯公書，心畫自孤傲。生死不可迴，豈為亂逆要。老倪真侷僵，未但言論峭。糞船而燒香，不受張吳召。 Section 10 悼古遺二首龍渊歸匣蚤，剸斷未成風。慨有籌邊志，長虛定遠功。胼胝殘邑調，痛哭夕郎封。未斂元龍氣，憎來田舍翁。卜館寒氊破，袁山春座融。重貽朋友怨，羞與若疊同。髯戟無容冶，官輕有仆忠。規容田畫填，一簡射狐雄。曹子歷三縣，皆殘破治有聲。壬午冬，選兵科，差堅清上谷，復命稱旨。上疏請巡閱九邊要塞，以長城自許。未幾，卒始終以豪氣不除，為鄉里所忌。貧道有書遣曹公，諫官當言天下第一事。不月，曹子露章劾首輔，周廷儒罷相。 Section 11七賢祠(七賢者趙宣子、韓厥、程嬰、公孫杵臼、鉏麑、靈轍提、彌明) 疏柏糅高楸，哀陰古祠假。簡樸貌七子，看目光進野。宣孟顏不舒，受法無以寫。韓子矜而恭，意注舉我者。腷臆哉彌明，殺獒怒未解，桑餓釋菜色，報德果然也。還顧觸槐人，恬然嗔怨寡。公孫死既烈，豊温像安暇。為易事已了，道腴自閒雅，肅容禮程公。癯惨神獨冷，保孤終下報，憂瘁量難舍。惻惻流離子，淚酹無孟斝。乾坤此何時，七尺未狗馬。龍髯不及攀，前星暗天下。亭毒三百年，寰海盡聾啞。草莽唯一死，死恐未蕭洒，仰天看怒雲，驚如義旗哆。祠僧患風不能禮客，既令其徒以筆硯留題，貧道怪其意。曰：聞名能詩。許再復之，因自嘆有作。毛錐不殺賊，吟情附雙淚。男兒生何為，壯業雕蟲蔽。悲壯浣花老，顛躓雍梁際。忠憤發全聲，誰識此翁志。當年事如何，哥舒失險備。上皇樂游覽，八駿馭西轡。翠葆駐蠶叢，百靈擁先帝。靈武正飛龍，四海仰新制。行在尚可達，不負間關致。元勳推郭李，河山破復易。口號記天誅，劍外喜收薊，哀哉生不辰，英雄遁何地。絕裾懲太真，棲棲尸饔計。知名不賞藥，月露遂成祟。投筆起新聲，雄劍為誰礪？老衲好客詩，七字知客意。 Section 12聊以復祠僧二首身隱文焉用，山僧乃勸詩。顧瞻七子貌，蕭索五城詩。苦柏神壇暗，秋陰天意悲。此中題不得，羞殺壯夫為。老衲亦知否，七人不盡賢。鈞衡容逆賊，神笏愧香煙，獨有雙忠烈，餘皆一節全。李公碑贊好，斟酌序當年(祠有李公濂二碑，一記七贊)。 Section 13悼赤城兄( 赤城，唯王孫，城破投玄通觀前井死) 落落憶朱霞，天空芳草涯。少年知赴國，勇死痛遺家。清冽琳宮井，深沉玉樹花。衰翁持病母，誰與濟兵笳。 Section 14頓村舅家作老屋簪弱櫃，中霄月漏亮。四壁翠莓衣，稱吾窮宅相。須眉負日月，凍餓死何悵！漢季一寒貧，無聊與友尚。華屋豈不宜，魂夢亦羞傍，匈奴何與漢，為家耻大將。 Section 15小樓小樓秋暑歇，片席寐無聰。袖許高雲度，艱難尺土踪，夢廻赤帝劍，書落白榆風。幾個陀羅樹，亭亭到眼中。 Section 16間關上陀羅山二首東海西崑未得過，秋風吹落上陀羅。陸離雲粉冰晴雪，菡蓞巒蕤演石波。一撮緇新書劍卷，九原封舊涕洟多，桃源直處忘情士，處士陶潛奈若何。南峯落落不多松，濤冷新秋帶石洶。黄面思惟悲大地，白衣客子嘯長風。崗巒龍舞英雄眼，日月烏號夢寐中。千里神州無好聽，老僧雙耳妙能聾。 Section 17追悼曹子二首。向與居實論甲申閣部之師，曹子苦在必請纓，誓死以信奇節，必不容其觀望不前也。因有此作。沃相滹沱望，参軍巾幗瞠。古遺若未死，雄志必先鳴。桃劍揮猿臂(曹長臂)，妖欃怯虎旌。井陘單騎出，誰敢不駪征？可惜一腔血，無由灑戰場。固関迴晋鄙，朱亥不從行。骨冷金臺雪，魂飛白簡霜。無衣賦雲表，哭訴九頭閶。 Section 18早起高眺朝霞紅枕簟，深樹碧鬚眉。雲過看能飽，情來淚是詩。周琥稽北日，許靖隔南時。不死其何戀，高樓一客知。

More Information

This exceptionally rare and important piece documents the life of Fu Shan, one of China's great calligraphers, in the years following 1644, when the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) fell to foreign invaders. The last colophon on this piece was written by a Cantonese named Hanmu. It states that Ye Gongchuo collected this piece in 1916 and asked Hanmu to write a colophon on it. Not until a year later, though, when he was inspired by his studio's surroundings, did Hanmu actually write this colophon. Sitting in the studio on a rainy autumn day, enjoying antiques nearby and green pine trees outside, Hanmu felt his world was the remote peaceful "peach blossom village" described by the poet Tao Qian (365–427).

The political turmoil that marked the end of the Ming dynasty forced Fu Shan to flee in 1644 to a village in northwest China, hundreds of miles from his home. This period of exile was to last through 1652. As an expression of his grief, sorrow, and anger, Fu wrote seventeen short pieces in various styles; all seventeen are preserved in this handscroll. Entitled Jiashen ji (A collection of the year jiashen) by the artist, this entire work is a protest against the Manchu rulers, who destroyed the Ming dynasty and established the Qing.
