Wu Zhifan’s boxwood brush holder for reporting victory in Dongshan

[Wu Zhifan’s boxwood brush holder for reporting victory on Dongshan Mountain]

boxwood brush holder for reporting victory on Dongshan Mountain, 17.8 cm high, 13.5-8.5 cm caliber
The pen holder is oval, goose yellow, inlaid with rosewood rim and base. The tube wall adopts the high relief technique, with the cliff barrier as the boundary, and the picture is divided into two parts. On the right side of the mountain wall is a winding path and secluded forest. The ancient pines are inserted in the wall, and the shade is hanging like a cover. Three old men under the pine tree sit around the stone table, talking and laughing, and are playing chess. Three waitresses stood behind the old man, holding lotus flowers and whispering to each other. The trees on the left side of the mountain wall are high and the forest is deep, and the canyons overlap. The two knights held up the letter flag and raced to the top of each other. The stone wall on one side of the mountain stream is carved with a poem inscribed by the Emperor Qianlong:
The gambling villa has lost its money because of its victory, that is, it is only barbaric in the face of major events
Huai Fei’s good news spreads to the flying horse. Why don’t the clogs and teeth be broken
Lu Zhen’s unique skills follow Zhu Yu’s, and anecdotes are rare
If there is nothing in the world of Yi, it is a good description
The Emperor Qianlong extended the imperial edict to the Japanese emperor
There are two small seals of regular script “ancient” and “fragrant”, “Chaxi Wu Zhifan” and “Lu Zhen”
This pen holder is based on the story of Feishui War in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The carving level is clear, and although the patterns are covered with all the objects, the layout is appropriate and natural. In particular, Xie An’s confident attitude shows his confidence and perseverance in planning a strategy and winning the victory. It is in sharp contrast with the messenger who gallops on the horse. It has its own independence and echoes each other in the plot, making the composition of the two parts integrated
