蔡元培 行书《文人》七律一首 立轴

款识：文人自昔善相轻，国手围棋抵死争。大地知难逃坏劫，灵魂无计觅真评。即留万古名何用，奚似剎那心太平。邓析惠施世多有，谁齐物记（托）庄生。蔡元培。

Fine 18th to 20th Century Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Collection of Tanyuan Shanfang 檀圆山房珍藏十八至二十世纪中国书画 LOTS 82-101 The Tanyuan Shanfang collection of twenty paintings was formed between 1970s to 2000s. Having grown up overseas, the collector was first introduced to Chinese calligraphy in the late 1940s through a Chinese language program, where he grew fond of the art form and developed a deep interest in its long rich tradition and history. In the 1970s, his passion for Chinese calligraphy extended beyond his lectures and books when Mr. Zheng Zhenhuan of Hong Kong, a friend, educator, and connoisseur of Chinese calligraphy and paintings, introduced him to his circle of friends of Hong Kong renowned artists and collectors. Amongst them, of prominence was Mr. Dang Cangwu of Macau, a renowned dealer and connoisseur, who became instrumental in the formation of an extensive and diversified collection we see today. 檀圆山房主人生于海外，二战后在中文学校接触到书法，即为这一艺术形式的博大精深所折服。上世纪七十年代初结识港澳两地书画仝道，开始陆续购藏，与澳门知名画商传研楼邓苍梧氏交往最密，又屡于纽约之拍卖会投得心爱之作。四五十年间，孜孜不倦，渐次汇为可观的收藏。邦瀚斯书画部二〇一八年秋曾于香港及旧金山两地拍场释出其所藏，成绩颇佳。本辑推出书画计二十件，古今南北兼蓄，体现藏家不拘一格、包容兼备的品味与眼光。
一九二七年十月二日，蔡元培应孙伏园之请，给其编辑的《贡献》杂志录呈《文人》一首：「文人自昔善相轻，国手围棋抵死争。大地知难逃坏劫，灵魂无计觅真评。即留万古名何用，奚似剎那心太平。邓析惠施世多有，谁齐物记托庄生」。（见《蔡元培全集》（第五卷），北京：中华书局，1988年，页178）
