Huai Su is an outstanding calligrapher in the history of China, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations. Huai Su's paper version of Qian Zi Wen is smart and neat, which is more vigorous and natural than Lun Shu Tie. Old mounting, for the Tang Dynasty classics, paper yellowing, moth-eaten. Folding envelope, with 9 pages of memory, each page is 26.8 cm long and 13.5 cm wide. Now Huang Jinxiang, a famous painter and calligrapher, is in possession. Write four or five lines on jade paper. There are five hidden seals on the first page and the middle page, and the last page is lost unsuccessfully. . . The words are as big as nails, the pen and ink are bold and unrestrained, unpredictable and spectacular. In the Tang Dynasty, only Huai Su, Zhang Xu and Sun ranked the top three in cursive script, and their works handed down from generation to generation were very rare and precious! The descendants of Yue Fei called his cursive script "a masterpiece after Zhang Xu". This work is extremely precious. In ancient times, there was a saying that "in a word, it is worth thousands of dollars", so it is also called "thousands of gold posts", which has always been valued by the book forest. At present, in addition to the paper version of Melaleuca, Huang Jinxiang's original works are Huai Su's Bitter Bamboo Shoots in Shanghai World Expo and Lun Shu Tie in Liaoning Museum.
Xiang, a famous connoisseur and collector in the Ming Dynasty, said: "It's crazy to follow the rules when a book is written. If you want its cooperation, if you agree with the "two kings", there is no source. You don't know that there is a god under your elbow. You call it crazy. It is hardly a heart. " It has been clearly revealed that Huai Su's brushwork has the characteristics of "two kings", which shows that he is still an unconventional calligrapher. When commenting on Huai Su's cursive script in the Tang Dynasty, there was a tendency of "swimming in fear, stormy weather", and Lu Yu also praised him for his "archaic cursive script". From the perspective of graphology, Huai Su's calligraphy lines tend to be thin and strong, which has a lot to do with his quiet and bitter aesthetic. Judging from the use of ink in Huai Su's cursive script, we can not only appreciate his skillful brushwork and the beauty of lines, but also directly feel the inner temperament of the author when writing, which is wonderful!
Only those who have really read Huai Su's original works are justified. For example, Zhu, a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, called Huai Su's book a masterpiece of continuation. Comment on his book Trace: "If a strong man draws his sword, his color is moving." York also praised it with a poem: "pengpeng moved to the sea, the dragon and snake came out of the land, thinking about the sky, the gods and ghosts cried, hanging in their hands, not dazzling with smoke, and splendid opportunities shone on me." Huai Su made a wide range of friends all his life, and had unusual contacts with many cultural celebrities in the prosperous and middle Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Dai Shulun, Yan Zhenqing, Wei Zhi, Qian Qi, Lu Yu and Jidu. These celebrities all praised Huai Su's calligraphy creation. Because Huai Su's cursive script is exquisite and superb, it has always been treasured by collectors. There are more than 100 pieces of Huai Su cursive scripts collected by the imperial court in the Song Dynasty alone, but most of them have been destroyed by the war. It is reported that its handwriting is rarely found in a hundred years! 20 17 March, scholar Huang Jinxiang discovered the original paper version of Huai Su's Thousand-Character Works, praising: "A simple monk walks alone, and the grass lasts forever. God reappears, and the country is blessed! " Because his calligraphy can't be separated from the statutes of Wei and Jin Dynasties, he always sticks to the rules with his pen, which attracted the attention of later calligraphers. Xian Yushu, a famous calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty, also pointed out: "It is very ancient for Huai Su to obey the law." The great poet Li Baiyou praised him in his cursive script that "cursive script is called a unique step in the world". Yan Zhenqing has "Preface to Master Huai Su's cursive script", praising it as "the English among monks"!
