Mi Fei, a character stamp, is a native of Shaanxi, whose surname is Mi and Qian. Later, he moved to North Xiangyang and once settled in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. Mi Fei was a calligrapher, appraiser, painter and theorist in the Northern Song Dynasty. One of the famous "Song Sijia" in the Northern Song Dynasty was Mi Fei. He used to be a teacher, a doctor of calligraphy and painting, and a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Part of Mi Fei's Shu Su Tie
Mi Fei is good at writing poems, painting calligraphy and painting, and also knows how to distinguish the authenticity of objects. Mi Fei founded Midian Landscape. Mi Fei's personality is very strange and his behavior is a little crazy. Someone once called him "Mi Dian".
Shu Su Tie is Mi Fei's work. It is 29.7 cm long and 284.3 cm wide, with 71 lines and 658 words. There are eight poems on it. Shu Su Tie is also called "quasi-ancient poem tie". Why is it called Shu Su Tie? Shu refers to the land of Shu, and now it refers to Sichuan. There is a kind of natural silk cloth with good quality in Sichuan, which is called Shu Su. The production of Shu Su is very particular, and it is woven with black silk, which is a very precious item.
At that time, a man named Shao Zizhong framed it into a long scroll. He hoped that his descendants could write poems or something on it, but after three generations, no one dared to write anything on it. Later, after Mi Fei saw it, he wrote five or seven poems on it, which was as easy as a duck to water. At that time, Mi Fei was 38 years old, and his literary talent was staggering. This was the "Shu Su Tie".
The structure of Mi Fei Shu Su Sticker is very elegant, the structure is very strange, and its unique style is very different from the peaceful and simple calligraphy style before the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Shu Su Sticker created a radiant artistic conception, which was later called the first beautiful sticker in China, and now it is collected in the Palace Museum in Taiwan Province. Mi Fei's works
Many literati throughout the ages have either high attainments in Ci, exquisite skills in calligraphy or unique achievements in poetry creation. For example, Ouyang Xiu has the highest achievement in prose, another example is Li Bai, who writes countless poems and is called "Poet Fairy", and another example is Zhang Xu, who has profound attainments in calligraphy art, and so on. Many famous ancient literati have mastered the art, although they have dabbled in other aspects, but they have not reached the realm of mastery. There is one person who is different from them. He can not only write poems, but also write compositions, be good at calligraphy and painting, be proficient in identification, and have a high enthusiasm for collection. This person is Mi Fei.
Mi Fei is like
When talking about Mi Fei, we have to mention his other nickname "Mi Dian", which is a name given by the world because of his strange behavior and crazy form. He will call each other brothers when he meets strange stones, so it is consistent with his character and behavior. Mi Fei is good at creating ink and wash landscape paintings, and his efforts in calligraphy are also very deep. He has his own unique understanding and insight into the brushwork and charm of traditional calligraphy masters. He is also strict about writing poems, even if he has written many times, he is not satisfied, which shows that his rigorous attitude towards creation is admirable.
There are not many works handed down from generation to generation by Mi Fei, especially the ink landscape paintings, which basically do not exist in later generations. In terms of ink works, there are mainly Tiaoxi Poetry Volume and Shu Su Tie, and in terms of book theory, there are History of Books and Comment on Calligraphy Tie. Most of Mi Fei's works handed down from generation to generation are in small print, and the only big-character works are Poems of Many Scenery Buildings, which are now collected in Shanghai Museum, another poem of Hongxian County is collected in Tokyo National Art View, and another poem of Yan Shan Ming is collected in Beijing Palace Museum. In terms of poetry, Mi Fei's later works include "Shuidiao Tou?" Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Tingfang? Although there are not many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, we can see from his works that he has made great efforts in these arts and dabbled in a wide range. Mi Fei Suotie
In history, Mi Fei was a famous calligrapher, painter and calligrapher theorist in Song Dynasty, and he was known as the ambassador of Haiyue and the descendant of Huozheng, with the character of Mi Fei. She is very good at calligraphy and painting, among which, for calligraphy, he is good at all kinds of fonts, such as cursive script, official script, running script and so on. He can also identify the authenticity of all kinds of paintings and calligraphy, and he also likes to collect some good paintings and calligraphy works. Because of her weird personality and bumpy behavior, she is called "Mi Dian" by the world.
Pictures of Mi Fei
In the classical Chinese "Mi Fei Suotie", Mi Fei's strange character and bumpy behavior are vividly written. Mi Fei Suotie is a classical Chinese text selected from Shi Lin Yan Yu. It is a story about Mi Fei asking Cai You for a post.
The first sentence in Mi Fei Suotie reads as follows: "Mi Fei was curious. In Zhenzhou, Mi Fei often asked Cai Taibao to stay in the boat, and he showed it with the Lue Wang Tie, which was hidden by Youjun". Mi Fei's curiosity is very heavy, so when he was in Zhenzhou, he went to visit Cai You specially. Cai You was very happy to see his attitude, so he took out Wang Xizhi's Lue Wang Post and showed it to Mi Fei. I didn't expect Mi Fei to like it very much after reading it, and he couldn't put it down, and asked Cai You to give him Lue Wang Post. Cai You refused.
Mi Fei saw that Cai You didn't want to give him the Lue Wang Sticker at all, so he roared, "If you don't give me the painting, I'll throw myself into the river." At first, Cai You thought that Mi Fei was just joking. I didn't expect Mi Fei to get up and walk to the boat, ready to throw himself into the river. Cai Youli immediately got up and grabbed him. In desperation, she gave Mi Fei the Lue Wang Post.
It can be seen from the classical Chinese "Mi Fei Lock Posts" that Mi Fei's personality is really weird and her manners are bumpy, but it also reflects her incomparable love for calligraphy from the side. Mi Fei Duojinglou Poetry Post
Mi Fei was a famous painter and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty. Mi Fei lived in an era when literati painting became more and more mature. The subjects that can be painted included figures, landscapes, pines, bamboos, stones, flowers and plants, and so on. It was precisely because of this that Mi Fei made great artistic achievements in landscape painting. His painting skills in ink and wash landscape painting were profound and his strength was extraordinary. What he pursued was a kind of nature in the south of the Yangtze River.
The book "Mi Fei Duojinglou Poetry Post" quotes
Mi Fei's skill in traditional painting and calligraphy is the deepest. He combines the characteristics of many traditional arts and creates his own unique style. His brushwork, composition and font all have unique characteristics of rice characters, and "Duojinglou Poetry Post" is one of his representative works.
The book "Poems of Duojinglou" was a long paper scroll made of ink running script, which was converted into a booklet in the Song Dynasty. There are forty-one lines in total, each line has two or three words, with a total of ninety-six words, such as the size of a fist. This post is a combination of poetry and books, with a strong font, high spirits and great momentum, which is the most bold and unconstrained in the style of rice characters. This book post was created by Mi Fei for the Buddhist monk during his tour in Kanroji, Jiangsu Province in his later years, which is regarded as the representative work of his book style in his later years. The whole post is crisp and neat with a pen, vigorous and powerful, and the ink is natural and natural. The structure of words and characters has a strong sense of rhythm, the composition is in one go, the momentum is magnificent, and the lines of handwriting are extremely beautiful. On the surface, this poem looks bold and simple, but it is not. From the depths of the works, we can see that there are many masters of calligraphers' brushwork art in the past dynasties, and they have formed a bold and harmonious style element in the whole post through friction and integration. Mi Fei, with his unique artistic creation concept, has created a vivid, rich and bold calligraphy world for us, which is admirable.
Most of Mi Fei's works in later generations are small print. The only remaining large-character works, such as Poems and Postures of Duojing Building, are now collected in the Shanghai Museum, and another one, Yan Shan Ming, is collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Mi Fei Tian Ma Fu
Have you ever heard of an idiom called Tian Ma Fei? Yes, the Tianma mentioned here refers to the "Ili horse" in "Tianma Fu". To be precise, however, the word "unconstrained style" does not come from "Tian Ma Fu", but from Liu Tingzhen's Preface to Satianxi's Poems in Yuan Dynasty. This "Tianma" and that "Tianma" refer to the same variety.
excerpts from Tian Ma Fu
According to the Records of Hanshu, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wusunguo raised horses on a very large scale, with excellent breeds. They pay tribute to horses to the Han Dynasty every year. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Wusunma very much, so he named it "Tianma".
Mi Fei, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, seems to be as fond of this kind of horse as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he made "Tian Ma Fu". The genre of Tian Ma Fu is Ci Fu, which is a treasure of Mi Fei's running script and one of the original works of his calligraphy handed down from generation to generation. The writing style of the work is vigorous and powerful, and the article vividly depicts the Tianma, swallowing Wan Li's direct potential. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty called it unprecedented and never came again.
However, the question of whether this work belongs to Mi Fei has always been controversial in calligraphy and literature. Before the Yuan Dynasty, it was generally believed that it was Mi Fei's original. In the Ming Dynasty, the calligrapher Dong Qichang claimed that he had seen four kinds of engraving of Tian Ma Fu. First, at the end of this ode, the words "Master Ping Hai's Book" are inscribed; Second, there is a postscript of Huang Gongwang in Yuan Dynasty, which says so. When he opened it, a large number of piercings fell, and the sound was as loud as thunder. The third type, also known as "Wu Ben", has a lot of dry pens on it, so people suspect that this may be another style of Mi's calligraphy; The fourth one was carved by Dong Qichang himself, and Mr. Qi Gong once wrote an inscription for it.
Whether the existing painting is the original of Mi Fei or the four possibilities mentioned by Dong Qichang is now impossible to verify. However, Mi Fei's "Tian Ma Fu" really made his calligraphy style, and whether it is true or not, it is undoubtedly a great treasure in the calligraphy field. Mi Fei's brushwork
Mi Fei was a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty. Mi Fei's brushwork was good at distinguishing, and he was good at seal script, official script, letter script, line script and cursive script. Mi Fei often copied the calligraphy of the ancients, achieving the effect of confusing the fake with the real. Mi Fei is one of the "Northern Song Sijia", and Song Huizong named Mi Fei as a doctor of calligraphy and painting.
Mi Fei's calligraphy
Mi Fei's brushwork is beautiful, and Mi Fei's handwriting, like his people, is unique and his calligraphy is unique. Mi Fei has the deepest employment in calligraphy and the greatest achievement in his life. Mi Fei is a casual person. Although he is in his official career, he is not good at pandering to officialdom. He has achieved a doctorate in calligraphy and painting all his life. Although his rank is not high, he has many opportunities to browse the world's unique famous paintings, which is also a pleasure. Mi Fei's calligraphy calls himself "collecting ancient characters". In the early days, Mi Fei studied the calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing, Ou Yangxun and Chu Suiliang. By studying the "Two Kings", he had a great influence on him. After 5 years old, he completed the establishment of his own style. Mi Fei's stereotyped calligraphy was magnificent and too uninhibited, and he had his own unique views on the distribution, structure and use of calligraphy. He was good at upright, backward and turning between pens, and formed an elegant momentum and a heavy and happy style in the ups and downs between words.
Mi Fei's pen is often very heavy, and it is slightly lighter in the middle. When he meets a turning point, he turns his pen and runs with flowing water, which is very enjoyable. The biggest feature of Mi Fei's calligraphy is "brush character". What is "brush character"? That is to say, using a pen is quick and powerful, just like using a brush, but every time the words come out, they are on the point, and the style is chic and heroic. A single word "brush" will vividly set off Mi Fei's elegant demeanor. Su Dongpo once said that Mi Fei's calligraphy is superb, calm and happy, and can be paralleled by Zhong Wang.
