Estimate(RMB): 600,000-900,000

杨白民比弘一大六岁,二人相识于弘一初到上海(1898年)之时,因艺术、教育和国家情怀而相知,亲如手足。据考,弘一出家时(1918年)写给杨白民的信中称道:余与居士相交垂二十年,今岁余出家修梵行,白民犹沉溺尘网。信中所提相交“二十年”即刚好是弘一初到上海之时。杨白民在中国近现代教育史上有着重要的地位,是上海城东女学创始人,弘一也曾任教于此。1903年,杨白民创办城东女学。1911年,弘一从东京美术学校毕业后回国。不久就应杨白民之请,一边在《太平洋报》作编辑,一边就在杨白民创办的城东女学任教,教授国文与艺术。短短四个多月,弘一就在《太平洋报》上发表了22篇有关城东女学的消息。而在此前夕,弘一就已为城东女学的校刊设计了封面,并把自己的一篇谈艺术的文章寄交杨白民在校刊上刊登。书本幅的同年(1923),二人书信亦十分频繁:5月15日,弘一在上海太平寺致杨白民函;5月23日,在杭州招贤寺致杨白民函,言感谢在沪承推爱护念等;6月2日,在杭州招贤寺致杨白民函(现藏浙江省博物馆);10月12日,在杭州致杨白民函(现藏浙江省博物馆)……诸如此类,不具。值得一提的是,此幅书写后一年的九月,杨白民逝世。弘一在温州受到杨白民之女杨雪玖来信得知该消息时,悲痛万分,当即便回信,道尽心中思念:绕屋长吁,悲痛不已。二十年来老友,当以尊翁最为亲厚。今展览《雁荡山图》,喜其雄奇翠拔,颇拟写其形势邮奉尊翁,约往同游。不意是夕,竟获哀耗,痛哉!MASTER HONGYI SUTRA IN REGULAR SCRIPTInk on paper, mountedDated 1923Illustrated: Fun with Art: Yang Baimin, the Female Students of Chengdong and Li Shutong, pl. 5, SJPC, 2013Literature: The Chronicles of Li Shutong, the Master Hongyi, p. 374, SJPC, 2021Provenance:The client acquired the lot from the family of Yang Baimin, a friend of Master Hongyi.66×31cmRMB: 600,000-900,000
