In fact, it refers to the calligraphy that ranks second in the running script. So what is effective? Who wrote it? Keep looking down.
What is the secret of this book, which is regarded as the second best in the world?
This is the handwriting of Yan Jiming, nephew of Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. The scroll is 20.8 cm long and 75.5 cm wide, with 23 lines and 234 words. This book was written in 758 AD.
This manuscript describes how Yan Gaoqing, the governor of Changshan, and his son stood up and opposed it faithfully in the Anshi Rebellion, so that "the father trapped the child and died, and the nest spilled eggs", taking righteousness as the benevolence and dying bravely. It's even sadder to mourn my nephews Yan Jiming and Apollo. In this article, there is a surge of feelings between pens, and calligraphy is magnificent. The vertical pen is bold and unconstrained, and it is often written with a dead pen, which is more vigorous and smooth. Its heroism is not only seen in the pen, but also reveals grief and indignation between the lines. Yuan praised it as "the second running script in the world".
Before and after the original volume, there are dozens of seals of Xuanhe Garden, Zhenghe Garden and Tianshui Garden, seals of appreciation and collection in past dynasties, and inscriptions by Xian Yushu, Zhang Yan and Zhou Mi. It is recorded in the Song Dynasty's "Manuscript for Sacrificing Nephews" that Qing Ganlong entered the inner government. The original volume is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

[Collection] National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan Province Province. Xuanhe Pu Shu, also known as the manuscript for offering sacrifices to nephews. Zhu Guantian's "Sacrifice for Ji Ming's Nephew" refers to "The History of China's Calligraphy in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties". "This book is unique. Theorists think it is the highest after the manuscript of Sacrificing a Nephew, so it has the reputation of the second best book in the world". [2] In 758 AD, Yan Zhenqing's Preface to Lanting, Wang Xizhi's Running Script of Jin Dynasty and Su Shi's Running Script of Lanting Preface were collectively called "the three great books in the world". The above three calligraphy posts are all said by Cao Baolin, "It is in the state of unintentional book creation that they freely sway, and then suddenly reach the best touching effect", which is one of the three major running scripts in the world. It can be said that Huangzhou Cold Food Post is one of the original works of Danyang Fengshe with great historical and artistic value, which is precious.
