Xu Wei, with a long word, alias Tianchi, Tianchi Born, Tianchishan, Ivy Taoist, Tian Shuiyue, etc., was born in the 16th year of Zhengde (1521) and died in the 21st year of Wanli (1593). Good at calligraphy, painting, poetry and opera, brilliant. He called himself "the book is the first, the poem is the second, the article is the third and the painting is the fourth", but later generations have the highest evaluation of his paintings and calligraphy. In painting, he opposed imitation of antiquity, paid attention to freehand brushwork and made bold innovations. The ink-splashing flowers are dripping and unique. Although he claimed to be "not looking for the rhyme of survival", he actually reached the realm of both form and spirit and became the ancestor of the Ivy School. Shi Shukao, Chen Hongwen, Zheng Banqiao, Zhao Weishu, Ren Bonian, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi were all influenced by him. Zheng Banqiao carved a cloud: "Cattle and horses go to Zheng Xie under the Ivy Gate". Qi Baishi claimed: "Ivy, Xue Jian is my teacher". His calligraphy is full of vigor and charm, dense structure, courage and momentum, and stands out as a family. Xu Lu of Nanci and Si Sheng Ape are his contributions to traditional Chinese opera. In literature, his works spread to the late Qing Dynasty, which played a positive role in opening up a road to reflect reality. Xu Wei made a living by teaching, being a screen friend and selling poetry, calligraphy and painting. He also participated in the war against Japan and the struggle against Yan Song. But Geng Jie's temperament, ups and downs, is not valued by people of the time. He was forced into madness, imprisoned for seven years, committed suicide nine times, and was poor, sick and disabled, which was very miserable. In the painting axis of Grapes, he wrote: "Half a lifetime of poverty has become an Weng, and the independent study is whistling in the evening breeze. There is nowhere to sell the pearl at the bottom of the pen, but it is thrown into the wild vine. " His posthumous works were also suppressed by the government, and when Qianlong edited Sikuquanshu, it was listed as a banned bibliography. However, Xu Wei's artistic achievements have not been submerged. Twenty-six years of Wanli: (1598), when Yuan Hongdao resigned from Wu County and went to Shaoxing to visit Tao Wangling in the same year, he accidentally read Xu Wei's posthumous work and was amazed. Due to Yuan Hongdao's admiration, Tao Wangling, Shang Jun and Chen Ruyuan tried their best to collect Xu Wei's manuscripts and published Three Episodes of Xu Wenchang. Then, Hangzhou Zhong Renjie engraved The Complete Works of Xu Wenchang and Zhang Dai engraved The Lost Draft of Xu Wenchang. His other works have also come out one after another. With the continuous expansion of fame, the former residence-a green vine bookstore began to be valued by people. Ivy Bookstore, originally called "Liuhua Bookstore". Jiaqing rebuilt the "Shanyin County Records" for twenty-eight years: "The Liuhua Book ends in the east of Dayunfang Mahayana Temple, where Xu Wei was born." The owner of Liuhua Bookstore is Xu Wei's father, Xu Jian. There is a pool in front of the house, which is not full, dry and overflowing. It is called "Tianchi" and there is a pomegranate tree next to it, hence the name of the bookstore. There is a green vine by the pool, which is Xu Wei's hand sandalwood, and its branches are curled, so it is better to cover the square pool with pine. There are stone fences around the pool, which are made of primitive simplicity. Lying across the flat bridge near the north, supported by a square column, the column is engraved with "the middle stream of the pillar", and a bookstore is built on the bridge. The column is engraved with couplets: "A pool of golden jade is as beautiful as flowers, full of blue-yellow color" and the back is engraved with "Free Rock". These are all Xu Wei's calligraphy. Xu said that at the age of 2, he was a scholar in the exam, and he was married to Pan Kejing's family. Since then, he has left Liuhua Bookstore. In the 23rd year of Jiajing (1544), Xu Huai, Xu Wei's eldest brother, died, and Liuhua Bookstore was also sold. Fortunately, in the sixth year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty (1633), Jin Lan, a scholar from Shanyin, initiated protection, built a monument in Dayunfang, engraved with "Mr. Xu Wenchang's hometown", and took the bookstore as a study house to give lectures. In the last years of Chongzhen, Chen Hongmou moved from Zhuji to Xudong's old house and wrote the tablet of "Qingteng Bookstore". Since then, Liuhua Bookstore has changed its name to "Qingteng Bookstore". The Ming Dynasty perished, and the Luwang regime in Shaoxing failed. Chen Hongshou moved to Bowu, south of the city, and became a monk. The Ivy League Bookstore is a wasteland. In the twenty-first year of Kangxi (1682), Shi Shengji bought the Qingteng Bookstore from Pan, renovated it and properly protected it. For this reason, Huang Zongxi wrote "The Journey of Green Plants", and the poem goes: "Si Shi is reluctant to abandon the length of literature, and the length of literature cannot bear to abandon one vine. My friend wins Jigjia's patronage, and I also see Wen Chang's prosperity as before. During Jiaqing period, Chen Wubo bought the Qingteng Bookstore from Shi's office, expanded and rebuilt it, and divided the Qingteng Bookstore into eight views: Tianchi, Shuteng 'a, Zizai Rock, Pregnant Mountain Building, Hunru Boat, Reward Word Hall, Cherry Pavilion and Persimmon House. He also invited Qian Dading and Zheng Banqiao to write a plaque on Chen's Reconstruction, and Ruan Yuan wrote. Chen is enthusiastic, but unfortunately he changed his original appearance, which is not in line with Wen Chang's life experience.
After more than 4 years' history and several changes, although it was once deserted, the square pool, stone fence, inscription, ivy, couplets, "Not a Dust" inscribed by Xu Wei and "Ivy Bookstore" inscribed by Chen Hongshou have all been preserved. There are three book rooms, with single bungalows, yin and yang tiles and blue bricks. Although they have been rebuilt by later generations, some components are still original, and the back is the inner room, which is separated from the book room by a wall. In fact, it is the same as the beam frame. When the house is a small garden, the old trees cover the sun, the bamboo is swaying, there are several rockeries, pebble paths, and laurel, plum, pomegranate and banana. Although it is not a strange flower, it is also beautiful. In 1967, the Qingteng Bookstore was destroyed, leaving only the ruined houses and withered old trees. In 198, Shaoxing County Cultural Relics Management Committee rebuilt the Ivy Bookstore, cleaned the Tianchi Lake, restored the stone fence, replanted the Ivy, dug up the water, rebuilt the couplets, built the bookstore and renovated the small garden, which completely restored the original appearance of the Ivy Bookstore in accordance with the principle of maintenance of cultural relics protection units.
