? Calligraphy in Tang Dynasty is a glorious period for the development of calligraphy art in China, and it is also the highest monument in the history of calligraphy in China. Many calligraphers and classic works have been produced, forming an artistic style of respecting the law. Yan Zhenqing is a representative figure of calligraphy in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His exquisite and far-reaching calligraphy art is the concentrated expression of the artistic spirit in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it is another innovative banner in the history of calligraphy after the two kings (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi). At that time, the world leaders in calligraphy pushed the long-simmering folk calligraphy innovation movement to a new climax, made great contributions to the development of calligraphy art in China, and had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
? I. Introduction to Yan Zhenqing
Yan Zhenqing (709-785), a native of Langya (now Linyi, Shandong), was a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Throughout his life, he served as a censor, a palace censor, a plain magistrate, a Ministry official, a Ministry official, and a censor. He is called "Duke Lu" and is the elder of Xuanzong, Suzong, Daizong and Dezong. To the officialdom known for its benevolence and righteousness, and even to the Tang Dynasty. His family studies are profound, his letters are skillful, his block letters are dignified and dignified, and his momentum is open; Running script is vigorous and vigorous, and it is called "Yan Ti", which has a far-reaching influence on the development of calligraphy art in later generations. Yan Zhenqing not only built a towering monument in the history of calligraphy, but also admired his noble character for future generations. His people and books are models. Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy inscription works include Multi-Tower Induction Monument, Painting Praise of Dong Fangshuo, Yan Monument, Ode to the Renaissance of the Tang Dynasty, Biography of the Fairy Altar of Magu, Poems of General Pei, and Book for Seats. Ink and wash works include Sacrifice to My Nephew, Liu Zhongshi, Huzhou Post (Biography) and Confessions. Among them, the Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew, the Draft for Competing for Seats and the Draft for Telling Uncle are collectively called "Three Drafts of Yan Family", especially the Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew. It can be said that the Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew is an unattainable model of natural beauty, which is very straightforward. It is one of the original ink works with great historical and artistic value, especially precious. It is also the only calligraphy masterpiece that can be ranked as "the second running script in the world" with Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting. Tang Yan Zhen Qing's Draft of Sacrificing Nephew is the draft of Yan Zhenqing's Letter to Yan Jiming, also known as the Draft of Sacrificing Nephew. Running script, 23 lines, 234 words. This book was written in 758 AD (the first year of Tang Dynasty). During the Anshi Rebellion, Lv Gong's cousin Yan Gaoqing defended Changshan alone, and the city was unyielding and martyred. After his death, Yan Zhenqing sent someone to find Ji Ming's skull; He made heroic sacrifices to his brothers and nephews for his country, and was full of loyalty and indignation to the Yan family. The feelings in his works are like a flood, regardless of his works, and they are often brushed aside, which is even more vigorous and smooth. His heroism is reflected in his writing, and his passion for grief and indignation is revealed between the lines. ? The storytelling method is a word, and it is said that there are words. Duke Lu is a loyal and heroic man, and his life is awe-inspiring. His spiritual integrity is embodied in calligraphy. This book is the book critic's favorite. From beginning to end, I used a slightly bald pen, a round and healthy brushwork, and finally surrendered because the ink was not dry. Although the ink color began because of the pause, it was black and gray and changed a lot, but it was done at one go.
Second, appreciation of the manuscripts of offering sacrifices to nephews
? "Sacrifice to the Nephew" is not only a draft, but also a revised and smeared manuscript, which shows that Lu Gong conceived it as a text, with ups and downs of feelings from beginning to end, and nothing to hide, which is the first ink in Lu Gong's calligraphy.
2. 1 The manuscript of "Sacrificing a Nephew" has sincere feelings.
The Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew is a masterpiece watered by sincere feelings, a sonata of the soul, a voice of grief and indignation, and an immortal masterpiece condensed with blood and tears. Looking closely at the manuscript of Mourning My Nephew, we can still feel the author's emotional fluctuations and thoughts when mourning his deceased nephew. Throughout the whole article, the style of writing is like tears, and the pen is smooth and freehand, making the turning point exquisite and natural, magnificent, ups and downs, and sometimes depressed and painful, tears streaming down her face; Sometimes it is awe-inspiring works of integrity and touching. Jiang Kui said in the Book Continuation: "When you read ancient books, you always want to see their fortune." In the face of this manuscript, everyone will be attracted by its vigorous lines, vigorous momentum and naive form, which will make people feel bored and never know its ending. "Sacrifice to a Nephew" is undoubtedly the most outstanding work with lyrical consciousness in China's calligraphy history, and it has become the "second running book in the world" that makes the gods cry.
2.2 The technique of "offering a memorial to a nephew" is natural.
1. The lines are round, rich and harmonious.
"Sacrifice to the Nephew" has a round brushwork, with a pen and paper, and vigorous and comfortable lines. In the Qing Dynasty, He Chao's "Yi Men Ming Ba" said: "Lu Gongbi's recent gold." But first of all, the "Sacrifice to the Nephew" broke the habit of emphasizing infighting to show Fang Gang's spirit since the Jin and Tang Dynasties and changed to external expansion. In his view, the extended round pen can be more freely waved, fully expressing the calligrapher's personality. The Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew is different from the thin square head since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and has returned to the simple and honest spirit. Such as "Yan, Qing, Er"; The emergence of Carey method makes the works interesting again and again, such as Door, Trap and Solitude, etc. The last wave of "Both, Inheritance" takes Carey method. For example, in line 13, the word "fierce" was used to seal the pen, precisely because of its round and vigorous brushwork, which showed Yan Zhenqing's extraordinary artistic skill of running script.
2, the knot is wide and wide, public and dangerous.
? Structurally, The Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew broke the elegant style of dense structure and slightly longer glyph since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and formed an open attitude. First, it is wide and stretched, and it is tight outside and loose inside. As can be seen from the manuscript of Sacrificing a Nephew, the pitch of some words has changed greatly, which coincides with Yan Zhenqing's inner tragic psychology, and the emotional laissez-faire in writing is the inevitable reason for this phenomenon. This is rarely seen in scripts that have been run before.
3. Ink painting is elegant, smooth and natural.
The Draft of Sacrificing a Nephew is a running script written by Yan Zhenqing with blood and tears. Thirsty pen dry ink, dry but not moist, capable and smooth, easy to write. There are many signs that the manuscript of offering sacrifices to my nephew was revised with a thirsty pen. Yan Zhenqing was so excited when he wrote this manuscript that he couldn't catch up with his hands. He didn't write fast enough to express his anger, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the change of ink color. Although there was no ink in the pen, he continued to write. However, these dry pen and ink give people a feeling of vigor and vitality, which makes the works dry, moist, thick, light, virtual and real, and further enhances the artistic appeal of the works. Dip in ink once, scribble a few lines, some strokes are obviously erased by the belly of the pen, but there is no shortcoming of being thin and flat, and the thickness of stippling changes greatly, resulting in a strong contrast effect between dry and wet. In the history of China's calligraphy, only this painting is the most vigorous and harmonious. The so-called "dry autumn wind and moist spring rain" is also the only work that can be used.
