Extension of Preface to Ding Wu Lanting

Collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei. The words "turbulence", "belt", "right", "flow" and "sky" have been damaged, the paper has been worn and the handwriting is blurred. At the end of the 15th line, there is a small character "Monk" to the right of the word "Wu", which is a token of Xu Seng, a connoisseur of Liang Dynasty. On the other side, there are inscriptions by Kui, followed by Wang Nai, Zhong, Gong Da, Xian Yushu, Zhao Mengfu, Huang Shi Weng, Deng, and others.

Li Kang praised Ding Wu's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion. .....' If you pick up something, you should cherish it forever'. Zhao Mengfu wrote a cloud in his Dingwu edition:' In ancient and modern times, the right army is the best. It's better to post the books commenting on the right army. The original is dead, so it's better for the stone carver to decide the martial arts. "The original album, with some burnt fragments, has now flowed into Japan and is collected by the Tokyo National Museum. The five words in this post have been damaged. Zhao Mengfu owes the monk Elder Dugu. Then there were Wu Shuo, Xian Yushu, Qian Xuan, Zhao Mengfu, Ke, Weng Fanggang, Cheng Taizi and Rong. There are some small notes in the book, which were written by Huang Yue. Zhao Mengfu wrote thirteen famous epilogues for this book.

In the third year (13 10), Zhao Mengfu went from Xing Wu (now Huzhou, Zhejiang) to Dadu (now Beijing). Du Gu Peng Chun (1259- 1336) came to see me off and gave him Song Tuoding's preface to Wu Lanting. By chance, Zhao Mengfu got a godsend opportunity to appreciate two pieces of Preface to Lanting Collection. During his boat trip in January, he attached the full text of Preface to Lanting Collection day by day as a postscript. There are thirteen epilogues in this book, so later people call it "thirteen epilogues of Lanting Post".

Following the Preface to Lanting, this post includes Wu Shuo, Yuan, Xian Yushu and so on in Song Dynasty. , followed by 13 prefaces written by Zhao Mengfu from September 5th to1October 7th, and two prefaces written by Ke, which won the excellent Preface to Lanting. Besides exquisite calligraphy, it has also become an extremely important book theory to understand Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy view. This piece was kept by Tan during the Qianlong period. After Tan's death, it was burned by natural disasters and remained the same. Later, it spread to Japan, was collected by Kikujiro in Takashima, and donated to the Tokyo National Museum. In the spring of 2006, I saw it at the "China-Japan Calligraphy Exhibition" in Shanghai Museum.
