Reflections on Zhong You's Declaration Form

It has been some time since I was recommended by my teacher to study Zhong You's declaration form. Although I didn't insist on studying every day according to the teacher's requirements, I still gained a lot and felt very much. Calligraphy learners learn lowercase letters, mostly from the declaration form. The teacher said this word is more correct. I like this font myself. His brushwork is simple and elegant, and his brushwork is subtle and natural. The writing process can make people pure and get rid of troubles.

"Declaration Form" is the representative work of Zhongyou in lower case. No money, eighteen lines. Now it's in the Palace Museum. It was first seen in the Song Dynasty's Spring Pavilion Post, and later reprinted, with Song Tuoben as the best. No matter from the brushwork or structure, the Declaration Form shows the vigorous and simple stippling of tang style from Wei and Jin Dynasties to maturity, combining rigidity with softness; The structure is slightly flat, wide and antique; The composition is natural and modest. The whole story is rich and mellow, graceful and dignified, and is known as "God II". Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of A Liang, believed that "the potential is clever and dense, and the victory lies in self-transportation." In Qing Dynasty, Zhang Tingji called it "as thin as jade, with an interesting gesture" in the inscription and postscript of Qingyi Pavilion.

Zhong You's lower case directly influenced the formation of the calligraphy style of Erwang, and further influenced the lower case style of calligraphers in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Zhao Mengfu, Wen Zhiming and Wang Chong.

Maybe it has something to do with my personality. I don't like sharp fonts, but I like rounded and implicit personality. It seems that all fronts and emotions are piled up in quaint lines, and quiet inside is as quiet as water.
