Xi feng si Bei pu lettering

At present, there is a little-known stone carving group in Beigou, Keluotuo Village, about 500 meters north of the courtyard wall of the Training Center of the Ministry of Land and Resources (formerly Xifeng Temple), which was called Li Jiayu in ancient times. This is the work of Pu Ru, a master of modern calligraphy and painting in China. At present, there are 7 stone carvings, 9 1, carved on 5 rocks respectively. The word diameter varies from 30- 160 cm, and the font is letters, lines and grass. "leaning against the clouds" and "soaring up" express the comfort of literati's seclusion and freedom; "Sitting among rock trees, clouds come and go under the pine forest, not listening to voices, only listening to bells" brings people into the quiet forest stream and the beautiful artistic conception of meditation. ...

Pu Ru, a Beijinger, is the great-grandson of Daoguang. After the Revolution of 1911, Pu Ru lived in seclusion in Xishan. He devoted himself to study and research in Xishan District, Beijing, and eventually became a master of poetry, painting and calligraphy, and his works were collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing. The stone carving ink he left in the west of Beijing is a rare treasure and a valuable cultural heritage in the history of Beijing calligraphy.

Pu Ru, in his thirties, is as famous as Zhang Daqian, known as Nanzhang (Daqian) and Beipu (Xinshe); Later, together with the famous painter Wu Hufan, he was called Nanwubeipu; After arriving in Taiwan Province, he, Huang Junbi and Zhang Daqian were called the "Three Masters Across the Sea" in Taiwan Province's calligraphy and painting circles.

In Xifeng Temple, I was there personally, savoring Mr. Pu's calligraphy masterpiece, with a hook and a painting, which was somewhat clever. It seems that every stone and every word is endowed with spirituality.
