A Brief Introduction of Lu Jianzhi in Lu Jianzhi

Lu Jianzhi was born in Wuxian County in Tang Dynasty. Yu Shinan's nephew. Official to scattered doctor, Prince Ichiro, Chongwen Shi Shu Bachelor. Calligraphy studied as an uncle in his early years, and later as a "two kings". "Putting pen to paper is a shame to fly in the wind", so it has the reputation of "being good at blue nights". At that time, Yu, Ou and Chu were called "four gentlemen" in the early Tang Dynasty. The preface to the five-character Lanting Collection handed down from ancient times and the ink on Lu Shuwen's Ji Fu are the most famous. Zhang Huaiguan commented on his book "Introduction" and said: "It is better to learn two kings late than early. The traces of middle age are still timid. After the general chapter is to prepare the bones and muscles, which is extremely simple and shameful. Therefore, it is a shame to expose flaws. " He also said: "As for the promotion of the conference, the dome is smaller. But it is better to follow the trend than to be arbitrary. " His calligraphy remains are rarely handed down from generation to generation, so it is difficult to see the whole picture now. But a passage by Ouyang Xuan in Yuan Dynasty is worth pondering. Ouyang Xuan said: "(Li Ya) said that his book style is different, which is the beauty of (Lu Jianzhi). In modern times, Mi Yuanzhang (Mi Fei) wrote a book full of ups and downs. Shixian said that he invented his own method, but he didn't know that he had learned all the tablets of Toutuo Temple in Cambodia. The Yuan chapter was a secret biography, but Lu Shu was rarely handed down. " This passage means that Mi Fei's calligraphy style is not his own original creation, but all borrowed from Lu Jianzhi's "Toutuo Temple Monument". It is precisely because Lu Jianzhi's handwriting is rare that others can hardly see it, so Mi Fei will keep it a secret. This shows that Lu Jianzhi's style of writing is not only "prose", but also "deep ups and downs".
