Chen Jiru (; 1558-1639) was a Chinese landscape painter and calligrapher during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).〔Cihai: Page 432.〕 Chen was born in Huating (华亭;〔 present-day Songjiang District, Shanghai).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chen Jiru Brief Biography )〕 His courtesy name was Zhongchun (仲醇) and his pseudonyms were Migong (麋公) and Meigong (眉公).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chen Jiru )〕 Chen's calligraphy followed the style of Su Shi and Mi Fu. Chen also painted landscapes and elegant still lifes. In 1595 he wrote ''Tea Talks'' (茶董補), still often quoted in China and Japan, and he studied pottery and created purple clay teapots in the Yixing style. His ''Shallow Comments on the Art of Nourishing Life'' as well as ''A Gentleman's Remarks on Diet'' were a reference for many years. Chen Jiru left an autobiography which contains a "patently fictitious (account ) of the circumstances of his own death, a most extraordinary innovation," writes the modern scholar Pei-yi Wu, describing Chen as "a member of the literati known for his versatile artistic talents."〔''The Confucian's Progress: Autobiographical Writings in Traditional China'' (Princeton University Press, 1992) by Pei-yi Wu〕 In 2007, Jamie Greenbaum, a researcher at the University of Beijing, published a book on Chen Jiru's writings which provides an overview of his larger-than-life personality, as well as an account of the different literary personae he invented. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chen Jiru」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
