The calligraphy of this tablet is not changed from official script to seal script, and the brushwork of seal script is heavier. Bold and vigorous, with a strong front, the strokes are mostly square and the strokes are mostly sharp. Let's look at Fiona Fang again. It's tight in structure, slender in shape and strange and magnificent in image. His brushwork and posture are unprecedented in the history of calligraphy. This is an important material for studying Wu Dong's stone carvings.
Due to the early destruction of the original monument, few rubbings have been handed down. Especially the Song rubbings before the fracture are precious. The rubbings selected here are the orphan books of Song Dynasty collected in the Palace Museum, with clear handwriting and mellow ink color. Set Nine Articles, formerly known as Set Nine Articles, is a literacy textbook written for children by You Shi, the emperor of Huangmenling in the late Western Han Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. Named after the word "hurry" at the beginning of the article. The Collection of Nine Articles consists of three, four or seven different words, covering names, organizations, biology, music, official positions and other aspects, such as a small encyclopedia. This article has been the main literacy teaching material circulating in the society from Han Dynasty to Tang Dynasty. At the same time, copying a standard and elegant notebook can also serve as a sample book. After the Tang Dynasty, Ji Jiu Pian was replaced by Qian Zi Wen, Bai Jia Xing and San Zi Jing, and became the dominant teaching material of Mongolian studies.
The earliest text version of Urgent Chapter has been handed down as a royal portrait book and has now been printed. In the fourth year of orthodoxy (1439), Zheng Yang in Jishui (now Jiangxi) in Ming Dynasty was the most famous, which was carved by Ye Mengde in Songjiang in Song Dynasty. The original stone is now in Songjiang County Museum. This chapter has a line of cursive script, with standard font, vigorous brushwork, unified change, slightly flat word structure and no connection between words. Some strokes are sharp and thin, and then they are picked up by pressing them again, forming an irregular triangle, which has become an important feature of their characters. This book is simple, dignified, subtle, with many strokes. Although it has obstacles, it has statutes, and every word is independent and restrained. Horizontal, pressure and stippling are mostly waves, and the whole article is simple, gentle, calm, carefree and vertical and horizontal. Shen's "Rihailou Miscellany" nearby said: "If you play this book carefully, the strokes are all Bo Fa, Bo Fa is purely an eight-point stroke, but the Tang people are eight points, and non-Han people are eight points." This post has a great influence on later generations, and it is still the representative work of ancient Cao Zhang, and it is also recognized as one of Cao Zhang's models.
His works are also handed down as Stubborn Postscript and Wu Wen's Postscript to the Army. In addition, the famous Wu tablet "Tianfa Shensi Tablet" has also been handed down as his works. "Urgent Chapter" is as long as 1394 words, which is spectacular. The original version has long since disappeared, and the most famous one is Songjiang, a copied stone. Its word structure is slightly flat, and all words are not involved. Some strokes are sharp and thin, and then they are picked up by pressing them again, forming an irregular triangle, which has become an important feature of their characters. This post has a great influence on later generations, and it is still the representative work of ancient Cao Zhang, and it is also a good model for learning from Cao Zhang.
