Let me provide you with an article:
The full name of "The Manuscript of Memorials to My Nephew" is "Manuscript of Memorials to My Nephew". It is one of the three major running script calligraphy manuscripts and is also one of the top ten famous poems handed down from generation to generation in China. One of the posts. It was written in the first year of Qianyuan of Tang Dynasty (758 AD). It is written on linen paper, running script, length 28.2 cm and width 75.5 cm, twenty-three lines, each line has eleven to twelve characters, totaling 234 characters. The bell has seals such as "Zhao's son, the Subaru family", "Daya", "Xianyu", "Shu", "Xianyu Shu's uncle and father", and "Xianyu". It was once collected by Xuanhe Neifu of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Yan of the Yuan Dynasty, Xian Yushu of the Yuan Dynasty, Wu Ting of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Qianxue of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Hongxu, and the Neifu of the Qing Dynasty. It is now in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. ?
The "Manuscript of Memorial to My Nephew" was written by Yan Zhenqing to commemorate his nephew Yan Jiming who died in the Anshi Rebellion. In the 14th year of Tang Tianbao (775), Anlushan rebelled. Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Pingyuan, contacted his brother Yan Gaoqing, the governor of Changshan, to launch an army to attack the rebels. In the first month of the following year, the rebel Shi Siming's troops captured Changshan. Yan Gaoqing and his youngest son Ji Ming were arrested and killed one after another. More than 30 members of the Yan family were killed. In the first year of the Qianyuan year of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 758), Yan Zhenqing ordered people to go to Hebei to look for Ji Ming's skull and bring it back, and wrote this memorial poem with tears that will leave a lasting legacy.
As a memorial text, the author's mood when writing can be imagined. The entire scroll is not fresh and clean. The handwriting is quick, hasty, smeared, and deletions and additions can be seen from time to time. ?Throughout the whole article, the feeling of sadness, anger and generosity floats on the end of the page. At the beginning, the author was able to control his emotions, and the writing was well-proportioned and dense. However, by the time "the thieves and ministers are not saved, the isolated city is besieging them" he can no longer suppress it. The anger with mixed feelings is like a volcano erupting, violent waves pouring, the fonts are sometimes big and sometimes small, the line spacing is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the ink is dry or moist, the brush strokes are hidden and exposed, until "Alas", the rhythm reaches a climax, following the mood. Sway freely and smear with the pen, the desolation and solemnity will appear on the paper. The solemnity at the beginning and the forgetfulness at the end are all natural expressions of the author's mood.
This post is a manuscript and was not originally written as a calligraphy work. However, precisely because I had no intention of writing a calligraphy, the calligraphy was written with flying spirit and ups and downs. The eternal value of "The Manuscript of Memorials to My Nephew" lies in the fact that sincere emotions dominate the writing and ink, regardless of clumsiness, the writing is unrestrained, the writing is bold and bold, and it is completed in one go. The blood and tears blend with the writing and ink, and the passion and majesty are gushing out. "The Manuscript of Sacrifice to My Nephew" is Yan Zhenliao's most wonderful running script and is known as "the second running script in the world". Yushu's postscript of Xian Yuan Dynasty said: "The Manuscript of Memorial to Nephew Ji Ming is the second best in the world in cursive script." Chen Shen of the Yuan Dynasty said: "The Manuscript of Memorial to Nephew Ji Ming is bold and bold, and it spreads thousands of miles; it is full of energy at times, and miscellaneous Yiliuli: "It may be like seal script," or it may be like engraving, "The wonderful explanation is almost like a creation of heaven. Isn't it possible that at that time, I paid attention to my thoughts and wrote the text, but did not pay attention to the calligraphy and painting, but the extreme work?"
As one of Yan Shu's famous "Three Drafts" (the other two drafts are the "Fighting for a Seat" and "The Report to Uncle") written by Yan Shu, it has been included in the engravings of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.
