Is there a calligrapher named Li in history?
Li Si, a famous politician, writer and calligrapher in Qin Dynasty, helped Qin Shihuang unify the world. Later, he was the prime minister of Qin, who participated in the formulation of laws and unified the systems of cars, tracks, characters and weights and measures. After the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao's youngest son, Hu Hai, became the second emperor, which was taboo for Zhao Gao and was beheaded in the city. Li Si advocates using Xiao Zhuan as the standard script. Xiao Zhuan, also known as Qin Zhuan, is the symmetry of Da Zhuan, which gives people a feeling of flexibility, roundness and health, and plays a great role in standardizing Chinese characters. The appearance of Xiao Zhuan is a great progress in the history of Chinese character development. According to Tai Ping Guang Ji and Meng Tian Bi Jing, this book was written by Li Si, a scholar of Cai in Chu State. Before the unification of Qin Dynasty, due to the long-term separatist regime of vassal states, there was a situation of abnormal language and writing. Qin Shihuang always hoped to have a standard font to replace the variant characters that were popular before, so he found that Lisi was good at calligraphy and gave him this task. Li Si simplified the seal script and sorted out a set of characters with simple strokes and neat glyphs, which was called Qin Zhuan. After reading these new books, Qin Shihuang was very satisfied, so he set them as standard fonts and ordered them to be used nationwide. At that time, people were not familiar with the structure of Biography, and it was difficult to write it satisfactorily. Li Si, Zhao Gao, Hu Wujing and others wrote "Cang Xie", "Ji Li" and "erudition" for everyone to follow. One year before his death, Qin Shihuang went to Huiji (now Shaoxing) in the East to worship Dayu's tomb, climbed Tianzhu Peak (later called Qinwangshan), overlooking the tidal bore in the East China Sea, and ordered Prime Minister Li Si to write an inscription in calligraphy. The day after Li Si was ordered to finish writing overnight, he picked a stone carving on the ridge and stood at the top of Mount Emei (later called Stone Carving Mountain) in Huiji, which is the famous "Huiji Stone Carving" in history. It is said that the stone carvings written by Li Si include Mount Tai, Langya, Yishan and Huiji. Li (date of birth and death unknown) was a writer and calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. The word Shao Wen was born in Zhao Jun (now Zhao County, Hebei Province). Uncle Li Bai. The first year of Baoying was the order that Bai's paintings followed and the preface for his poems. Li Jian, a bachelor of Jixian College, is known as Li Jian. Li Bai's collection of poems, Caotang Collection, edited by Li, is the preface. Li, who was famous for his seal script in Tang Dynasty, was a great change. He is known as the first seal script writer after Li Si, which has a great influence on later generations. Since Qin Lisi created Biography, it has been more than a thousand years since Han, Wei, Jin and Sui and Tang Dynasties. Scholars only think that real grass is the attack, and biographical research is useless. Li sighed and said, "Heaven has not lost, and my boy really achieved the purpose of printing." Li once published Shuo Wen Jie Zi by Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty as 20 volumes, but made great changes in the seal cutting method and interpretation of the original book. Since then, Xu Shen's original works have gradually disappeared, while Li's printed works have prevailed. Until the early Song Dynasty, Xu Xuan revised Shuo Wen Jie Zi and sorted out the contents of the original book, which basically restored its original appearance. Li took seal script as his own responsibility and began to study Li Si's Yi Mountain Monument. He inherited the jade-tendon brushwork, but changed his style. The lines flatten into beautiful flows, which makes them look elegant. "synopsis of the golden chamber" says that "Yang Bing is especially good at calligraphy, and he is full of ink. At that time, people called it a pen tiger. " Zhang Xu's brushwork is also learned from Lee. In old age, seals become more and more vigorous. Self-proclaimed: "After Sian (Reese) to Xiao Sheng. Cao Xi and Cai Yong are not enough. " Kang Youwei's "Guang Yi Chuan Shuang Ji" said: "Winning by thinness, if" Thousand Gua Ming ",will benefit from thinness and destroy the ancient law." The inscriptions handed down from generation to generation include Sanfen, Chenghuang Temple Monument, Qian Guaming, Yi Tingming and Prajna Inscriptions, all of which were reprinted by later generations. At that time, Yan Zhenqing's inscription must have been written by Li with seal script, which shows the far-reaching influence of his seal script. Li Baiyou, a great poet, said in his poem: "My family has the father of Ji's family, and the outstanding generation is also a hero." "It's amazing to put pen to paper and sprinkle seal script." It can be seen that Li's seal script is indeed successful. In the Qing Dynasty, it was also said in "Summer of Gengzi" that seal script had been promoted by Li since Qin and Han Dynasties, showing its high evaluation. Li Yong (678 ~ 747) was a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Word Taihe, Han nationality, Guangling Jiangdu (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). His father Shan Li annotated Selected Works (edited by Liang Xiaotong). Young Li Yong became famous and was later called Zuo Shiyi. He used to be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including Secretary of State and Beihai Magistrate, and was called "Li Beihai". Li Yong is good at poetry and calligraphy, especially at regular script. At that time, Chinese and Korean clothes and many temples often gave them gold and silver, and asked him to write articles and memorials. He wrote 800 articles for people in his life and received tens of thousands of polishing fees. But he is still loyal and cherishes talents, and often uses these family assets to save the lonely and help others. Li Yong's inscriptions are often engraved by Fu Lingzhi, Huang Xianhe and Sheng Yuan Jishuo. According to the textual research of Yang Shen's "Dan Lead Record" in Ming Dynasty, these three people are probably also aliases of Li Yong. His works handed down from ancient times include Ye Youdao Monument, Duanzhou Stone Chamber, Lushan Temple Monument, Tolin Temple Monument, Huokeji Monument, Yunhui General Li Sixun Monument, Yunhui General Li Xiubei Monument, etc. Li Sixun Monument and Yuelu Mountain Temple Monument are the most important handed down books.
