Song Huizong, the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Mingxi, born in Bianjing (now Kaifeng), was a famous painter and calligrapher. During Evonne's reign, he pursued extravagance, political corruption and weak diplomacy, which led to widespread public grievances and laid the foundation for national subjugation in the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although Evonne was a failed politician and emperor, he was gifted in calligraphy, painting and other artistic fields. He created "thin gold" calligraphy, and many paintings and calligraphy works can go down in history. He is a rare artistic genius in ancient times. It was rated as "Song Huizong can do anything, but he can't be your ear alone."
As the name implies, "thinness" is the most recognizable feature in the thin gold fuselage. Although the strokes are as thin as hair, they are still round, thin and powerful, giving the skinny body a temperament. The intensity of the brushwork is clear, and the strength of the brushwork can be seen from the beginning. The structure is symmetrical, the turning point is elegant and unique, and there is a light and refined aesthetic feeling. Some conjunctions are like gossamer, close to running script.
Judging from the characteristics of the thin gold body, its brushwork is obvious and the font is clean and neat. The brushwork of putting pen to paper is obvious, especially the brushwork of exposing the front, especially the font is long and front like slender leaves, which stretches very brightly, making the font stretch naturally and not twist the waist; Use the hook to cross the brush, and use the point to erect the brush. The vertical hook is slender.
Secondly, by increasing the intensity of the pen, the thin gold body makes the font structure prominent, strengthens the visual focus, and makes the strokes thick and have a visual foothold.

The originality of the thin gold style does not appear out of thin air, but is the result of Evonne's combination of the styles of many calligraphers. The sources of fusion are diverse and complicated, and there are three recognized calligraphers in history.
First, "two studies and one Chu theory", paying attention to shape; The second is "On Huang Tingjian", which pays attention to bones; The third is "Miffy Theory", which pays attention to the soul.
The word "Chu" in Yi Xue Chu refers to Chu Suiliang, a statesman and calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Chu Suiliang has been engaged in calligraphy all his life, and his works handed down from generation to generation include Fang Bei, Biography of Wild Goose Pagoda and Master Meng Bei. He learned from Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and others, and created his own calligraphy, which became one of the "four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty" and was called "Chu Feng" in history. Chu Suiliang's font style is different in the early and late period, and there are many innovative and sublimated parts in the later period. Preface to Wild Goose Pagoda is the most representative work of Chu Suiliang's regular script style. When writing this monument, Chu Suiliang has entered old age. During this period, his handwriting was beautiful and vigorous, and his brushwork was skillful and mature, which created a set of standard system for the new Tang Kai.

"Cher" refers to Xue Ji and Xue Yao. They are brothers and politicians in the Tang Dynasty, and Chu Suiliang is their great-uncle. Their calligraphy is deeply influenced by Chu and comes down in one continuous line.
At that time, Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang's calligraphy was wonderful, and Yukime looked at their works for a long time. His calligraphy is characterized by "beautiful and elegant", which inherits Chu Suiliang's brushwork and style well. In the later period, Xue Ji formed a personal style of writing, charming without losing momentum, giving consideration to strength and thinness. Few works have been handed down, and the representative work is "The Monument to the Believing Zen Master".
Xue Yao, known as the "father of thin gold body", studied under Xue Ji. His handwriting is thin and hard, his pen is thin and powerful, and his structure is sparse and smooth. He was more dangerous and slimmer than Chu Shu and enjoyed great fame at that time. His masterpiece is Shi Li's Poems in Summer.
The word "thin" in Xue Ji's and Xue Yao's glyphs was inherited by Zhao Ji, and the thin gold style and Xue Er's glyphs are in the same strain in stroke direction. To some extent, Xue Ji's Xue Yao's font is the foundation of the hand-strength style, while Evonne's development of "Cher" is more elegant and bold, and he is more bold in collecting pens.
"Huang Tingjian's theory" refers to the running script style originated from Huang Tingjian; Huang Tingjian became famous in his early years. Huang Tingjian is good at running script and cursive script, and regular script is his own. Song Huizong also heard about it and studied his works.
In Huang Tingjian's running script, most words are long and vertical, but each word seems to have a center. The center contracts, and other strokes radiate outward from the center of the circle. This "broken" "radial" glyph structure has broken through the square and even the appearance that has been popular since the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Exaggerated brushstrokes make his calligraphy show Xiao Yi's elegant charm and strong spirit.
The thin gold body also has the characteristics of compact center and gorgeous surroundings, which is not found in Xueer's calligraphy. Fine gold strokes are also long and long, sometimes even worse than "corpus luteum".
"Mi Fei Theory" means that Evonne's artistic thought is influenced by Mi Fei; Mi Fei was a calligrapher, painter and painting theorist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He founded "Midian Landscape", which is one of the "Song Sijia". Mi Fei is famous for his calligraphy, and his greatest achievement is running script. He is also good at seal script, official script, regular script and cursive script, and is good at copying ancient books, which can reach the level of confusion.
Song Huizong is very kind to Mimi. He was hired by Song Huizong as a doctor of painting and calligraphy. They have a good personal relationship. He entered the palace many times to create works for Hui Zong to enjoy. He is a versatile painter, appraiser and collector. In their friendship, their style will exert a subtle influence. The existing works mainly include He Qing's Post, Chen De's Post and Zhang Du's Post.
Mi Fei's running script is free and easy, which inherits the character of Wei and Jin scholars. Therefore, he also attaches great importance to the charm and character of calligraphy. He despised the literati who completely imitated the previous calligraphy, advocated personal style and paid attention to the release of personal character.
You can also see this idea in Song Huizong; The uniqueness of thin golden body is precisely the embodiment of Mi Fei's personal character. Both of them pay attention to the form of fonts, while Song Huizong's calligraphy has the style of literati in the Song Dynasty, which is unique and shows the majesty of the emperor.
