What are the ugly calligraphy found in unearthed cultural relics?

There is such a work in the history of Yuan Dynasty, which is called the most beautiful "ugly book" in the history of calligraphy. I have been dumped by countless people, and most people basically can't understand it! Some people call it the ugliest word in 800 years!

This work is Yang Weizhen's Notes on Zhuxi Caotang.

For Yang Weizhen, friends who study calligraphy have naturally heard about it. "Mr. Tieya" was the most influential figure in that era, and both books and poems made great contributions to the literary world of Ming Dynasty. The rare "ugly book" in the history of calligraphy attracts many people, but ordinary people can't understand it.

In Sikuquanshu, the evaluation of Yang Weizhen is as follows. Yang Weizhen, with her unique talent, took its disadvantages and corrected them. His roots came from Qinglian (Li Bai) and Changgu (Li He), and he created his own town.

Some people say that Yang Weizhen is brilliant, correct his shortcomings, and the universe has no rivals! Yang Weizhen's calligraphy is ugly as a whole. This ugliness is based on the attitude of most ordinary people, who regard the sense of order as their aesthetic orientation. His book "Times of Quiet Temple" is the representative work of his calligraphy "Ugly Book". This ugly book, which is rare in the history of calligraphy, attracts many people, but most people can't understand it.

In fact, for a real calligraphy artist, the highest requirement for calligraphy is not necessarily neat handwriting like printed matter, but a "chain" with perfect techniques. Writing one's own temperament, writing a "natural" realm and writing a "spirit of independence between heaven and earth" is the real pursuit of a calligrapher. Once this state is reached, it will be difficult for ordinary people to feel it! Yang Weizhen's Zhuxi Caotang Record is a good example.

However, Yang Weizhen pushed calligraphy to this height with her unique talent and amazing attitude.

He said in the preface to the book Poetics of Temperament. Dongpo believes that poetry is a picture with sound, and painting is a silent poem. Those who cover poems are also ambitious; The painter paints with heart. They are the same thing. " Yang Weizhen put her poems, books and paintings in the same space to think, which is a manifestation of spirit. The rare "ugly book" in the history of calligraphy once attracted many people, but ordinary people couldn't understand it.

His "Zhuxi Caotang Inscription and Postscript Volume" broke Zhao Ziang's "charming book style" movie gallery, wrapped in a brand-new attitude (style and feeling), went deep into the official script of the north and south, and wrote prose at the same time, which was beyond the reach of others at that time!

Therefore, the key to learning Yang Weizhen's calligraphy is not the brushwork. Of course, his brushwork and calligraphy combined the brushwork of Li in Han Dynasty and Wei Bei in Tang Dynasty with the artistic conception of cursive script in Jin Dynasty. His attitude is extremely complicated and changeable, and it is also a model for future generations to learn, but its deeper connotation is his spiritual expression! Many of his works are his works.
