Guifu’s review

Guifu "studied hard and devoted himself to the study of textual research on stone. Weng Fanggang and Ruan Yuanji recommended it. He is famous for his seal cutting and Han Li elegance. He was as famous as Yi Bingshou at that time and was known as "Chinese Philology" "Gemini Constellation".

The smaller the better, critics of his eight-point calligraphy believe that he is the best in more than a hundred years. In his later years, he became good at sketching, not to mention the ancient charm. In between, he painted a clump of ink bamboo and a few spots of green moss. There was a discussion between Chen Daofu and Xu Wei, who said that it was difficult to spot the moss in the painting, so he named it Lao Tai Yun. Collection of paintings of the Qing Dynasty. He died at the age of 71. He was also good at landscape painting, "Mo Lin's Modern Stories", "Guangyin Renbiography", "Tongyin's Theory of Painting" and "Song Xuan's Essays". There are many descriptions of it in "Chi'an Essays".

Gui Fu's official script more expresses the scholar's rationality and rigor. The writing skills should be regular and the wording should be steady and flat. Therefore, it will inevitably lose the vitality and the artist's emotional color and vividness. personality traits. However, his calligraphy art has long been synonymous with Han Dynasty monuments, and he can be said to be a model of Han Li Fengshen, which has not inspired subsequent scholars. In particular, it can be regarded as a good medicine to clear the mind of today's academic mentality and impetuousness, which is limited by superficial tastes and eager for quick success.
