In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yanyuan's "Fa Shu" was quoted from Mrs. Dong Jinwei's drawings, saying: "A skinny and fleshy person is called Jin Shu; The fleshy and skinny one is called the ink pig. " It's easy to get this disease if you write rough words without thinking about bones and muscles.
Liu Yong's calligraphy is called "Ink Pig", but he is one of the four great writers in Qing Dynasty, because Liu Yong likes to write with thick ink, which is a big piece that we look very dark.
Therefore, Liu Yong is also known as the Prime Minister of Thick Ink. It is said that Liu Yong is 1.8 meters tall. He devoted himself to reading and writing all the year round, and when he was old, he hunched over. Posthumous title, Emperor Jiaqing, is a camel of Liu, which may be one of the sources of Liu's statement.
Liu Yong was famous for his good calligraphy in Qing Dynasty. His calligraphy is unique on the basis of extensive study of ancient masters, which opened up a new realm for the study of calligraphy in Qing Dynasty. Liu Yong started from Zhao Wuxing.
In the early years, calligraphy was like a beauty touching flowers, and the beads were round and smooth. After middle age, she studied various schools, and the creams were often different, indicating that the spirit of the ancients was harmonious, so she could get rid of the prejudices of her predecessors and become a family.
The value of Liu Yong's calligraphy lies in his combination of cultivation as an important official of the imperial court and refined temperament, which is the best way for calligraphy to express personality and entrust temperament. He won a place in the book world at that time with his introverted and inscrutable calligraphy.
