The aesthetics of calligraphy has levels or boundaries, just like literary works. When you are at different ages, the beauty you can find is different. This kind of beauty will be constantly displayed with the improvement of your cultivation and experience, which is also the charm of calligraphy!
Xi Kui's name is not loud in the history of calligraphy. Like many people who have been drowned by history, Kui's name has been handed down only because there are no more masterpieces handed down from generation to generation and no prominent family background. He wrote this famous "A Thousand Words of Historical Records".
Xi Kui, a native of Qing Dynasty, was a magistrate in Guangxi, and his official voice was modest, but the name of his calligraphy and painting was very famous at that time, but few people know it in contemporary times!
Xi Kui's A Thousand Characters of Official History is full of the brushwork of Cao Quanbei, a famous official history writer. Among many famous official books in the Han Dynasty, there are the famous Three Monuments of Confucius Temple, which is an official artistic word, Ode to Shimen, which is an official grass, and Zhang Qianbei, which is unique and diverse in Fiona Fang. Of course, there are also some works such as The West Chamber and Yuan 'an Monument. Cao Quanbei is very beautiful.
Therefore, for beginners of calligraphy, the new brushwork has become the best choice for learners, and the volume Qian Zhengshi by Kui is full of brushwork and its changing characteristics. Cao Quanbei was nearly 2000 years ago, and many words are badly written, which is not good for beginners!
