Appreciation of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming"
"Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" belongs to the thin and hard calligraphy style. Its stippling is thicker than the thin gold body and thinner than the Yan body, so it is in a moderate state in terms of fatness and thinness. Calligraphy emphasizes pen power, which is achieved through "bones". If you are too fat, you may have no bones, and if you are too thin, your bones may easily break. Moderate fatness and thinness, and well-proportioned bones and flesh are more suitable for expressing your writing skills.
If thin refers to the masculine beauty of the stipple painting of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", then "beautiful" describes its feminine beauty. The beauty of "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" is mainly reflected in the round pen and slender strokes.
