In the Tang Dynasty, when the calligraphy art was brilliant, a famous calligrapher came out with his head held high. This is the "Yan Jin Liu Gu" that people call Bing Di Lian Hua, which is just as famous as Yan Zhenqing. Liu Gongquan, a great calligrapher, is admired by the world for his character and books.
with the tourists in twos and threes, they meander forward. The moving footsteps are ringing the ancient rhyme of the forest of steles for thousands of years, but there are many vivid stories in front of my eyes at random. Review ...
Liu Gongquan is open-minded, studious, innovative, independent and unique, and creatively walks at the front end of the great team. His ink works are few in the world. There are Liu Mian Monument in Yongshou County, Tombstone in Li Sheng in Gaoling County, and Feng Su Tombstone and Xuanmi Pagoda Monument in the second room of the forest of steles. The masterpiece "The Mysterious Tower Monument" is his masterpiece in his later years. The tablet was inscribed in the first year of Liyan Huichang, Tang Wuzong (AD 841). It was originally located in ankokuji, Anlefang, Chang 'an, Tang Dynasty, and moved into the forest of tablets during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. This is a stone tablet that eulogizes Master Da, and tells the story of Master Da's being favored by the court when he was in Li Shi, Tang Dezong, Li Yong, Tang Shunzong and Li Chun, Tang Xianzong. Master Nirvana has gone to the western paradise, leaving behind a precious book "The Mysterious Tower Monument" which was copied by scholars and bachelors.
talented people come from different generations. Calligraphers all over the world are pursuing artistic perfection, painting one by one, devoting all their efforts to leave a lasting legacy. Liu Gongquan, who is well-known, left us with the original Liu Ti calligraphy, which is thin, hard, decent, well-structured and angular.
Liu Gongquan (AD 778-865) was born in Huayuan, Jingzhao (now Yaoxian, Shaanxi). When I was 12 years old, I was able to compose poems. When I was an adult, I learned the classics and knew the rhythm. His love for calligraphy has given him great enthusiasm all his life. He first learned from Wang Xizhi, followed his habits and learned from others' brushwork. After learning from Yan Zhenqing, he regarded himself as a role model. After long-term careful consideration, he avoided the obesity of his fonts and created a relaxed, natural, rugged and diligent Liu Ti. Liu Ti, who stressed his strength and steadiness and used his pen decisively, was highly praised by literati, and even foreign envoys were proud of buying his books with great money.
Liu Gongquan Yuanhe was a scholar in the early years of his life. He successively held the posts of Zuo Shiyi, Secretary Yuan Wailang, Zhongshu Sheren, Hanlin Bachelor, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Right San Qi Chang Shi. He was awarded the Duke of Hedong County as a gift to the Prince Taishi. He was a man who had held many official positions. It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, when the eunuch was authoritarian and the warlord was independent. Too much monitoring of the emperor's imperial edict is like waste paper, domineering and disrespectful. The buffer region listened to the emperor's words as if he heard fart, but his tail was too big to drop. The emperor also played like a lantern, with ups and downs, mixed with good and bad. He is as straightforward, simple and heroic as calligraphy, and he does not want to follow others' advice, but only wants his personal style, being handsome and strong. A glimpse of a leopard in a tube. From his attitude towards several emperors, we can understand his character of being violent and clear-cut, being close to the virtuous and capable and being far from the villain.
Li Ang, a literate scholar who listened to politics diligently, lived frugally, liked reading, and tried to change the situation of eunuch's autocratic power, regarded Liu Gongquan as his confidant. Liu Gongquan, then a bachelor of Hanlin and a book attendant, had a deep relationship with him, commenting on current politics, discussing articles and calligraphy together. Often talk alone until the dead of night, when the candles turn to ash. The monarch and the minister left a couplet: "Everyone is bitter and hot, and I love the long summer days. The smoky wind came from the south, and the temple pavilion was slightly cold. " Appreciate each other. Literati attacked the eunuch's authoritarian power many times, but unfortunately, he was unable to return to heaven, plagued by disasters, and was forced by domestic slaves. He was depressed and finished his 33-year-old life journey.
However, in the face of Li Zhan, a Jing Zong who was good at hunting night foxes, feasting and partying, and Li Heng, a Mu Zong who was supported by eunuchs, who had excessive amusement and chaotic political affairs, Liu Gongquan was not in a good mood. There is an example to prove his integrity. On one occasion, Li Heng asked him for calligraphy on a whim. He said bluntly, "I think a person can write well only if he has a correct pen." After listening to this, Li Heng was very angry and knew that he was making an apology. Maybe Liu Gongquan is famous and has a high prestige in the DPRK, and his brother Liu Gongzhuo is Jing Zhaoyin, who is strict in law enforcement, so it is not good to have an attack and go away. Mu Zong lived for 33 years, and after four short-lived years as emperor, he appointed 14 prime ministers like a lantern. Jingzong lived only 18 years old, and after two years as an amusement emperor, he was killed by eunuchs.
Liu Gongquan loves Four Treasures of the Study and manages it personally. For floating wealth, money is often very light. Once, when the container for storing gold and silver wine was unlocked and sealed, everything was gone. Facing the empty box, the management's family could not tell the reason for the loss. He smiled and said, "The golden cup and silver pot feathered into a fairy and flew away." Just visible, I went to other things.
Liu Gongquan lived to the age of 87, and his tomb is in Rangyi Village, Azi Township, Yao County, Shaanxi Province. His brother Liu Gongzhuo was buried on the east side. Appreciating Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is a kind of artistic enjoyment. Appreciating Liu Gongquan's personality, being frank and upright, is a measure.
