Ancient calligraphy in Ming dynasty

During the reign of Emperor's Word Experience in Ming Dynasty, two brothers, Shen Du and Shen Shen, had a great reputation for calligraphy. Among them, Shen Du is famous all over the world and is called "I am Wang Xizhi" by the emperor. But his calligraphy works are just beautiful and neat, just a model of pavilions and pavilions. Nowadays, few people know that history is ruthless, and the "time name" may not stand the elimination of history. But his brother Shen's cursive script is still treasured by people today.

Shen Meili became an official because of her good handwriting. Song Jin and Song Ke in the early Ming Dynasty were called "Cao Sheng" because of their mature cursive brushwork and rich elegance. His "Liang Wudi cursive script" is sharp and sharp. The whole chapter is mixed with this kind of grass, but it is natural and vivid, free and unrestrained. Because of the speed of Cao Zhang's feet, the words are independent, rarely continuous, but the breath is very smooth. Therefore, Wang Shizhen called him "a master of composition, which is enough to say that Min Nan entered the room".

Shen charm (1379- 1453) was born in Huating (now Jinshan, Shanghai), and his younger brother was a calligrapher in Ming Dynasty. At the age of 8, I learned the Book of Filial Piety, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius. At the age of 65,438+00, he was a real grass. At the age of 65,438+03, his parents died and his brother was sent to Yunnan. He studied alone behind closed doors. Poor and paperless, he hung his wrist on the wall to practice writing. His calligraphy was elegant and vigorous, and he was famous for a while. In the same year, Shen Du, his elder brother, was called into the Secret Pavilion by Cheng Zu, and was named Scheeren in Zhongshu, ranking Shao Qing in Dali Temple. Like his elder brother, he was called "Bachelor of Size".

He reads widely, likes to lag behind, has a noble character and is informal. In his later years, he hated regular script and liked cursive script, which made Song and Chen Wendong ignorant. People who ask for words outside the door are often good at poetry. At the age of 70, they resigned and returned to their hometown. They wrote "Jian 'an Poetry Draft", with more than 2,000 poems. The famous calligraphy works include Qian Wen Zi Volume and Rebuilding the Monument in Huating County.
