Characteristics of Sun Caoshu
Looking closely at the brush and ink in Shu Pu, Sun not only has the true meaning of two kings' brushwork, but also develops and innovates. The whole article begins with a calm pen. If you go to help, you must follow the rules, just like the introduction of a symphony, which means peace; Chinese writing rises, brush gestures gradually turn to indulgence, point painting is connected, and hook and loop traction; The second half reached its climax with a star soaring, only to see the wind at the end of the pen, full of waves and clouds. There are more than 3,000 words in the beginning and end, and the climax is repeated in one go. It is really "meaning first, writing later, chic and elegant, elegant and flying", reaching the realm of "wisdom and skill, heart and hand".
The calligraphy of reading music is full of smooth and smooth changes. "Between a painting, it changes to the ups and downs of Feng Yu; Within one point, the reflection belt is pitching and the air veins are connected. The end of the pen is as light as a cicada's wing, or as heavy as a cloud, showing softness in rigidity, containing rigidity in softness, flying lightly and full of interest. Although Pu Shu's brushwork originated from Wang Xizhi, it is more vigorous and varied than Wang Xizhi. The most distinctive feature is the horizontal pen, long press, first press the pen once, then press the pen forward, so that a pen suddenly appears two changes, ups and downs, sudden spirit.
When the right ring is turned into an arc pen, the tip of the pen turns from thin to thin, sharp-edged, and radiant, just like a waterfall suddenly blocked, the running water becomes thinner, and suddenly gushes out from a crack in the rock. Tibetan front, exposed front, center and winger are unrestrained and natural. His brushwork, interest and charm are quite close to Lu Ji's reply post, Wang Xizhi's cold cut post and Yuan Guan post. The more you break it with a pen, the more you treat it, the more elegant and calm it is, and the more elegant it is. "
Pu Shu's ink color is also uneven. In the first half, Wen Ya was beautiful. The second half is mostly dry pen. "If you are in danger, the boulder will be the road." Although its structure is based on fairness, its density is appropriate and its width is flexible, which is more natural in the uneven hierarchy. For thousands of years, Pu Shu has won the admiration and admiration of many calligraphers, among which Sun Chengze said it most fairly. He said: "everyone copied the right army in the early Tang dynasty, but they all had their own way to find." Sun Qianli's "book spectrum" is naive and natural, and has no intention of seeking peace. It is the first wonderful wrist in the Tang Dynasty.
Sun's achievements in calligraphy
Sun's "good old, literary talent flying, named after calligraphy and painting." He is good at writing letters, lines and cursive scripts, especially cursive scripts. There are three kinds of Sun's handed down books, namely, prose and Jing Fu Dian Fu, all of which are cursive ink, of which the most successful and influential.
Soon after the publication of Sun's Book Spectrum Ink, some people criticized it.
For example, according to all the strategists in the Tang Dynasty, Sun Shi cursive script has the style of "Yan Lu (an ordinary person) with thousands of words". This statement was refuted by later experts. Wang Shen in Song Dynasty said, "Li Xi (Sun) is the second king who is good at cursive script. Guo Zhongwei's Qian Wen is vigorous and powerful. Although it is not very elegant, it is still unrestrained compared with Yong's writing. However, Ji Du's book, which refers to the court, is a thousand papers with the same word. Gu Yu has always been deeply suspicious of this language. Since he regained this book, he has studied it for a long time. According to his success, he should not reduce the number of the Wangs. As far as it is concerned, it is still sparse and not known to everyone. " Although Mi Fei in Song Dynasty was harsh on previous calligraphers, he was convinced of Sun's cursive script.
He said in "Famous sayings of Haiyue": "Sun Caoshu's Book Score". Very right-wing military law. Write a word, near and straight, this is the law of the court. The world is known as the book of the right army, which was written by Sun. Every Tang Cao has two kings, and they are second to none. " In the Ming Dynasty, Jiao said, "In the past, people commented on Sun Shu, saying that a thousand words are the same, like the wind suppressing grass, but the meaning is light. I said that although Pu Shu was proficient in calligraphy, it was self-evident. The original works that can be read, especially the meaning of Jin people using pens. Liberation without seeking dharma is not bound by law, and it is almost impossible to do this unless you enter samadhi. " Wang Shizhen also said: "For a while, the title of the Book of Filial Piety was unique and derogatory, for example, everything is grass, come to a bad end.
Book spectrum is rich and mellow, in the hall of Yin Shan (Wang Xizhi). After standing upright, there is a longing for Youlong. If you play carefully, the so-called word is perfect, and the beauty is flawed and can't be hidden. "These analyses and assessments are more comprehensive and pertinent than the plan.
The Life of the Characters in Sun's Works
Sun Yuan was a right-back. After Zhou joined the army, he led a government clerk to join the army. Ambitious, liberal arts and ancient. He is good at regular script and running script, especially cursive script. He took the method of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, and his brushwork was vigorous, commensurate with the two kings. Fei Xiaotong thinks that Tang Cao is the second French king, which is second to none. However, some critics, such as Dou Wu, ridiculed his book as the same word.
He was born in poverty. In the year of learning Taoism, he paid attention to calligraphy and studied it. He devoted himself to research for 20 years, and finally taught himself.
At the age of forty, he became a small official who "led a government clerk to join the army." Because of his noble behavior, he was criticized for losing his official position. After resigning from his post and returning to China, he devoted himself to studying calligraphy and writing book reviews. Unfortunately, he didn't finish the manuscript. Sun died suddenly in a guest house in Luoyang factory because of poverty caused by illness. In the early Tang Dynasty, great poets wrote the Epitaph of Taishigong and the Essays of Weishigong for him, saying that "(Zhong You) died, but it was not passed down. Your legacy is a legacy, which makes him look like a fairy". Comparing Sun with Zhong You, a great calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period, we can see that he was highly valued in the early Tang Dynasty.
