Ren Xun's Calligraphy Achievements

Any inquiry, poetry, painting and calligraphy. The cursive script is too beautiful to let the two kings. Wang Tingjun and Zhang Cai, landscape masters, got their Samadhi. "Zhongzhou Supplement" records: "People are talented, painting is higher than books, books are higher than poems, poems are higher than texts, books are functional products, and paintings are divine products." The biography of Ren Xun in the History of Jin said that he was "generous and generous, and his book was the first at that time", which obviously had a certain influence on his calligraphy at that time. There are countless works handed down in his life, but only a handful. Today, people can only see a few excellent works such as Cooper's Travel and Lv Zheng's Grave Table. For his deeds, see Biography of Jin History, Record of Baoding, Record of Yongping House, and Mo Chi Yuan Hai and Painting History Society.

Ren Xun is a master of calligraphy, and his handwriting is Zhong Ling Yu Xiu. In Ye's "Yu Shi", he commented on the inscription of the Great Tiangong Temple: "Strange and majestic, towering." Zhou, a native, wrote the postscript of "originally living in Huaisu" in Autumn Poems. Calligraphy is vigorous and super energetic. The style is between Yan Zhenqing and Su Shi, and then people talk about Ren Xun's books. For example, Wu Qizhen said: "Beautiful calligraphy, elegant structure, cover Yan Lugong" ("Painting and Calligraphy"); Gu Fu thinks: "Mo Jun writes that he is good at learning and dull" ("Life is magnificent") and so on. Learn from Yan Zhenqing, so Ren Xun's calligraphy works are more imposing. At that time, many celebrities had the same understanding of the vigorous atmosphere of his calligraphy. Zhao Bingwen said that his calligraphy is "the grandeur of Mount Tai"! As far as the eye can see, the grass is green, and it spans Qi and Lu. The word "How is my husband" is not an idiom, but it is not three words. It is impossible to make the next sentence have a hundred miles of atmosphere. ..... learn from Nanxun, so attend. " (Essays of the Idle Old Man). Yuan Haowen praised his calligraphy as "flowing, with its own unique interest", and Wang Yun said in the Complete Works of Mr. that his words were between "Yan (Zhenqing) and Po (Su Shi)." , "unrestrained flying, beyond the normal state" and so on. , fully affirmed the momentum of the work.

Du Fu's rubbings of Cooper's Travels are in the neighborhood of Fujii, Kyoto, Japan. Written in the fifth year of Hailing (1 160), the spirit of this book depends on Yan Zhenqing, and we can even find the shadow of General Pei in Yan Zhenqing. Ren Xun was famous in the early Jin Dynasty, and was called the first. However, the problem of drawing lessons from the past in his works still exists. In fact, later critics also pointed out the problems in Ren Xun's calligraphy. For example, Yuan Haowen thinks that "learning Dongpo is a bit stiff" (Complete Works of Yuan Haowen) and Wang Yun also holds that "his great works are often deep and sluggish" (Complete Works of Mr. Qiu Jian), etc., all of which have clearly pointed out Ren Xun's shortcomings. As far as Ren Xun is concerned, the history of calligraphy is definitely not a first-class calligrapher, even in the Jin Dynasty. But in the early Jin Dynasty, even compared with other calligraphers in the Southern Song Dynasty, the momentum of Ren Xun's calligraphy was considerable, which was the success of Ren Xun and the significance of his calligraphy.
