However, there are also some notorious figures in history, and they have also left classics handed down from generation to generation. However, due to their notoriety, their achievements in calligraphy were quietly buried.
Cai Jing, four prime ministers, * * * as long as 17 years, rare in ancient and modern times. He was included because he played politics and pocketed his own money? Six thieves? The first one. In calligraphy, Cai Jing studied Cai Xiang first, then Shen Chuanshi and Ou Yangxun, learning from each other's strong points and becoming a whole. His calligraphy style is charming, and his words are vigorous, cheerful, calm and unique.
Yan Song, a powerful minister in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, dominated the state affairs for 20 years, ganged up factions for personal gain, embezzled and sold officials, corrupted the state affairs, and threw people when they were down? Treacherous court official? Name. However, Yan Song's calligraphy is unparalleled in the world. His brushwork is vigorous and broad, vigorous and dignified. His brushwork is vigorous but not clumsy, but there is a kind of elegance in his majesty.
Xiao Shenyang has always been a villain with a low personality. However, Xiao Shenyang's calligraphy is thin and powerful, and his stippling is crisp and neat, without any sloppy feeling. Small Shenyang's calligraphy, from word to word, from line to line, is refreshing and dense. You can't write such good words if you are not a well-read person.
These three people, although they have profound attainments in calligraphy, are all classified as traitors, and their fate is also very embarrassing. Cai Jing was dismissed from office and died in a foreign country. Yan Song was dismissed, homeless, and was fed in a grave house when he died. There was no coffin to bury and no one to mourn. Xiao Shenyang was given the gift of Jiaqing to die in Ganlong Lingtang, and his property was confiscated after his death.
Cai Jing, Yan Song and Shenyang, their lives are not perfect, but they wrote good words. Because people and words can't bring out the best in each other, the value is also greatly reduced, which is embarrassing.
