Of course, the current cursive calligraphy cannot be Zhang Zhi¡¯s work. However, the author of this work is a master of cursive calligraphy at the same level as Zhang Zhi.
"Huai Su?"
For a moment, an expert was surprised and a little uncertain: "Look, is this Huaisu's brushwork?"
"Monk Huaisu's wild grass?"
At the same time, other people also reacted one after another, and their eyes burst out with shining light.
Regarding Monk Huaisu, many people who like calligraphy must be familiar with it. He is a leading cursive calligrapher in the history of calligraphy. His cursive calligraphy is round and powerful, turning like a circle, unrestrained and smooth, and completed in one breath. He is as famous as Zhang Xu, another cursive calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He is also known as Zhang Dian Su Kuang, or Dian Dian. Zhang Zuisu.
The Tang Dynasty was another peak period for Chinese calligraphy after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Whether it is the four famous figures in the early Tang Dynasty or the Yan Jin Liu Gu Gu in the middle Tang Dynasty, they are all talked about. However, when it comes to cursive script, I am afraid that in everyone's impression, in the entire two to three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, there were only two people worth mentioning.
These two people are naturally Zhang Xu and Monk Huaisu. Needless to say, Zhang Xu is known as the Sage of Cursive Calligraphy. His cursive calligraphy, together with Li Bai's poems and General Pei's sword, is known as one of the three best in the world.
As for Huai Su, he was a monk, a monk who did not abide by the rules and precepts. He became a monk at a young age. When he was young, he was obsessed with calligraphy. He was addicted to paper, pen and ink. He scribbled all day long and was expelled from the monastery twice.
However, according to people¡¯s research, Huai Su became a monk, certainly not because of his disillusionment with the worldly world, nor because of his family poverty. Because his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had all served as county magistrates, chief historians, and other minor officials. According to his family background and family status, he was full of scholars.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? There seems to be a tradition of becoming a monk in Monk Huaisu¡¯s family. For example, his great-uncle Huirong was a monk and a calligrapher. He studied Ouyang Xun's calligraphy and could almost call it authentic.
In addition, there are also benefits to becoming a monk. After all, that period coincided with the Anshi Rebellion, and Monk Huaisu was doing repairs in the temple. It can be said that it has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. No matter how turbulent the political situation is, it has nothing to do with him, and he can even calm down and practice calligraphy. Only then did he become a famous figure.
It¡¯s because they understand the name of Monk Huaisu and understand that his cursive script has extremely high artistic value, that¡¯s why Mr. Zhou and others are so excited. And compared with the copybooks of other famous calligraphers. Monk Huaisu's cursive writing is easier to identify. Just think about it. Although cursive is easy to write, it is rarely done well. Just like Tai Chi, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.
Especially the cursive script of Monk Huaisu is as unpredictable as the peaks in summer.
???????????????For most people, let alone learning, it is difficult to grasp the essence and charm even if they copy it. It is for this reason that it is on the collection market. Counterfeit works by various famous calligraphers are very common, but cursive works are very rare. First, there are not many people who know how to appreciate cursive script and are willing to buy cursive script. Another reason is the difficulty of imitation.
For this reason, after some research, an expert was certain: "This is the authentic work of Huai Su Kuang Cao."
"You see, the writing style of cursive calligraphy works is like gossamer, like light colored silk. In the winding and entangled circles, you will never find the knotted knot. "
At this time, the expert analyzed: "This is the characteristic of Huaisu's cursive calligraphy. Most people think that Huaisu's crazy and splash-ink freehand brushwork is actually a one-sided view. In fact, in my opinion, Huaisu's brushwork is more delicate. It¡¯s just delicate and restrained, making it difficult for ordinary people to notice.¡±
"Um."
Someone next to me agreed: "The whole work is full of spirit, the pen and ink are lively and flying, and the pen is full of tigers and tigers. At first glance, it looks like a surging river, with waves rising one after another. But if you look closely, it looks like a subtle and restrained stream. There is a graceful and graceful atmosphere in the gurgling flow, which is winding and endless."
When the experts commented, Wang Guan also listened carefully, but because he didn¡¯t study cursive script much, he couldn¡¯t appreciate the charm of the experts¡¯ descriptions. However, after looking at it carefully, I really feel that the text in this cursive calligraphy is well-proportioned, the length of the fonts is reasonable, and the intensity of the pen and ink is appropriate. It makes people look and feel very comfortable. It is indeed a good work.
It¡¯s not that Wang Guan is superficial, in fact this is also a tip for identification. Because the entire calligraphy copybook is composed of words, more attention should be paid to the pleasing effect. Otherwise, it would all be densely packed with text, which would probably make your eyes dazzled, and you would not be able to appreciate it.
Therefore, for a good calligraphy work, you must first consider the layout and the shade of the pen and ink. Especially for long-form calligraphy masterpieces, there is a lot of emphasis on where to sparse and where to close, when to put down the pen and when to put it lightly.??things.
If it is too sparse, it will look loose and out of shape. But it's so dense and crowded that it looks overcrowded. The same is true for the shades of pen and ink. The dripping ink is good, but too much is not enough and it looks black. On the contrary, if the pen and ink are very light and seem to be absent, it will be difficult to read.
Because of the many exquisite details, the copybooks of famous writers that can be handed down are all excellent works, which can be regarded as models for future generations to practice calligraphy.
At the same time, some experts are convinced: "It is not only the work of Huai Su, but also the work of his middle age, when he understood the true meaning of calligraphy and his calligraphy creation entered the peak state."
"What's the basis for this?" Someone asked curiously. After all, not everyone knows how to identify calligraphy copybooks. It's normal not to see the exquisiteness in them.
"Of course there is evidence."
At this time, the expert smiled and said: "According to historical records, when Monk Huaisu was young, he was very diligent in practicing calligraphy. He once planted tens of thousands of banana trees and cut off all the leaves to practice calligraphy. However, it is undeniable that , when Huai Su was a boy, he did not have a teacher, but it laid the foundation for his calligraphy innovation."
"After all, as we all know, in the era from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty, the calligraphy atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty advocated legal regulations. In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was sought after by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and people at that time flocked to it. However, Huaisu was a rebel and did not I care more about contemporary art trends and explore on my own.¡±
While speaking, the expert sighed: "After the Anshi Rebellion, the great poet Li Bai traveled south to Dongting and Xiaoxiang. In this year, Li Bai was fifty-nine years old and Huaisu was in his weak years. He went to Li Bai to ask for poems. This is Huaisu The first time I met Li Bai was also the only time I interacted with him."
"The two people have similar temperaments. Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems over wine, while Huai Su wrote even more crazily when he was drunk. As an elder, Li Bai cherished talents, promoted younger students, affirmed Huai Su's innovations, and even wrote poems to praise him. The young master was nicknamed Huai Su. Su, cursive writing is known as the only one in the worldWang Yishao, Zhang Boying, have been named after many waves in ancient times, Zhang Dian has been old and died, and I am learning from this principle rather than learning from the ancients
A song written in cursive script expresses Li Bai's preference and admiration for Huai Su.
Wang Yishao is Wang Xizhi, Zhang Boying is Zhang Zhi, and Zhang Dian is naturally Zhang Xu. Li Bai said that Wang and Zhang had a false reputation because their artistic achievements had become a thing of the past. He also said that old age and death of Zhang Xu did not count, but that the important thing was to respect the young Huai Su's heroic reputation.
Of course, the word "not learning from the ancients" is intended to show Huaisu's innovative spirit.
"Everyone knows that Li Bai's poems are exaggerated, and he has a bold temperament. If he thinks a person is good, he will definitely praise him very highly, and he will not be afraid of the other person falling to his death."
At the right time, the expert smiled and said: "Fortunately, Huai Su did not live up to Li Bai's expectations. When he was young, he would not have been praised for his unique cursive script. But in middle age, after more than ten years of study tours, his calligraphy has entered a slightly unsluggish state. Realm."
"Of course, the so-called not learning from the ancients is only half right. When he was young, Huaisu did not learn from the ancients, but after he was thirty years old, his calligraphy began to be in a hesitant stage, and his brushwork stagnated. We¡¯ve hit a bottleneck.¡±
"After discovering that his calligraphy had not improved, he began to travel around. During the travels, he met contemporary famous masters, admired the calligraphy of predecessors, and then suddenly became enlightened."
"However, Huaisu really gained the essence of brushwork only after meeting his cousin Wu Tong, and then gradually understood the brushwork of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Wu Tong was a student of Zhang Xu and a classmate of Yan Zhenqing. Wu Tong left Huaisu at home. , he explained to Huaisu one by one the wonders of Zhang Zhi¡¯s approach to the pond, Zhang Xu¡¯s unpredictable cursive calligraphy, and Wang Xianzhi¡¯s calligraphy, such as the dead trees in winter.¡±
While speaking, the expert was filled with emotion: "If Huaisu's calligraphy in his youth relied on artistic intuition, then his artistic exploration after the age of thirty was based on artistic tradition. And the historical tradition of Chinese calligraphy, It is the inheritance of brushwork in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and brushwork is the core secret of Wei and Jin calligraphy."
"Having mastered this core secret, Huaisu finally mastered calligraphy. When he visited Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing was not stingy. He taught him all the twelve strokes and asked Huaisu about his insights on cursive script."
At this point, the expert sighed again: "Monk Huaisu said that he followed nature. He once observed Xia Yun's posture for a long time and found that the clouds changed unpredictable with the wind, either like strange peaks protruding, or like dragons tumbling. , or like birds flying out of the woods, frightening snakes into the grass, or like rocs spreading their wings, and horses walking on the plains, there are too many to mention, and they are endlessly wonderful.¡±
"This is the realm of Xia Yunduo Qifeng, and it is also the expression of Huai Su's cursive calligraphy."
While speaking, the expert gestured: "Look at this work, the calligraphy is constantly changing, does it look like Xia Yun?"In general, not only are the peaks protruding, but the calligraphy lines are also very diverse. The delicate and elegant hairspring is like the brushwork of a goddess scattering flowers, and the standards of official script and chapter cursive are skillfully and skillfully incorporated into the bag. "
In this expert¡¯s analysis, everyone quite recognized his judgment. After all, he is a great expert in calligraphy, so his speech is naturally particularly authoritative. Besides, the others were not blind. After careful research, they found that the silk paper was indeed from the Tang Dynasty.
After some verification, everyone can be sure that this is another rare treasure no less than Li Gonglin's Nine Songs Picture Scroll
