The corruption of calligraphy began in Yan Zhenqing. On the face of it, there is no rhyme in the late Tang Dynasty. In the Five Dynasties, Li Houzhu began to know about the disease, saying that Yan Shu had a good model but no good place, just as good as the fork hand and Tian Shelang's ear. As soon as Li Zhi's theory came out, it was commented by Mi Yuanzhang of the Song Dynasty: Yan Shu's pen is like a steamed cake, ugly and disgusting. He also said: Yan Xingshu is quite big, so it is really vulgar. Although the words of rice are close to the wind, they are not unreasonable, but they can't be trapped in words. When I washed my face, Liu Ji went straight to Jin as my teacher, and then to the right army, alone.
Since "Mo Chi Zuo Luo Volume II" (Yang Shen in Ming Dynasty), she is famous and is also the queen of Southern Tang Dynasty. Taste: Zhenqing's books have good methods but no good methods, just like Han Er in Tian She.
Li Houzhu doesn't like the word "Yan". He once said: "Yan Zhenqing's words are just quite satisfactory but have no aesthetic feeling, just like a farmer with his hands crossed and his feet touching."
