How about Li Zongge's calligraphy?

Li Zongqi (964-1065438+May 2002), born in Raoyang, Shenzhou, is the son of Li Yun. In the second year, he was born in Gande, Song Taizu, and died in May of the fifth year of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu, at the age of 49. You can be a writer at the age of seven. Shamed on his father for being an official, he won the first place after having obtained the provincial examination and was awarded the school book lang. He also recommended himself, moved Secretary Lang, gathered together to proofread, and fellow initiates began to take notes. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, he was tired of remonstrating with the right doctor, and began to live in the position of three libraries and two systems. After several years, he lived and practiced his land. Romantic and elegant, full of books. Experts are sincere, especially diligent in receiving scholars, and the awards are reversed. Zong Gegong is one of the poets. There are 60 volumes of collected works, 30 volumes of internal and external systems, the revision of the memoirs of Emperor Taizong, the continuation of the general code and the biography of writers, all of which are in parallel with the world.

Li Zongge's book is neat and dignified, that is, he records his poems and gives them away, and it is also written in strict format, such as copying Buddhist scriptures in the imperial examination. The poem "Send the Dragon" is an example. However, its posture and brushwork are different from those of most calligraphers at that time, and it mainly adopts Li Beihai's method, which can be traced back to the early works of Erwang and Wang Sengqian, that is, it belongs to the old style of Zhong system. Therefore, his book shape is flat, the strokes are mostly horizontal, the stippling is thick, and there is Li Yi in the brushwork. Mi Fei in Song Dynasty said in Historical Records: "The officials of this dynasty learned from Zhong Wang. Li Zhuan has written this article for a long time, and scholars have been studying his works. They are fat and simple, so as to vote for them and use them to get books. Naturally, they are just fashionable and expensive. " After him, there are indeed many people who follow this book, but those who are spiritual have their own changes. For example, Ouyang Xiu tends to indulge, emphasizing "meaning" rather than sticking to the law; Han Yi, Han Zhen, Yu Pei and Lu Dafang changed slightly. Sima Guang strengthened his plain taste, and it was decades after Li Zongge's death that he went to Xie Qian, Ceng Bu and Su Dongpo. On the same book road, the first two are also quite elegant, but they are not as rigid, changeable and innovative as Su Dongpo.
