Excerpts from Poems by Wang Duoshu and Wang Weishi
Later generations He Hailin collected and compiled his works into a book "Wang Duo Shu Wang Wei Shi", which was published in April 20 10 for calligraphy lovers to enjoy, and this book is also one of the series of "National Treasure Ink Collection". In order to facilitate readers' understanding, He Hailin also asked experts to write a lot of notes in the book. The content of this book is almost printed one-to-one with the original, which is very suitable for readers to copy. However, due to the different printing quality, some versions are only suitable for viewing and research.
The book Poems of Wang Duo and Wang Wei contains poems written by Wang Duo, such as Family Banquet in Jeju and Spring Celebration. This volume mainly extracts Wang Duo's regular script. Wang Duo is proficient in running script and cursive script. His regular script is rare, and his brushwork is not as good as cursive. The original post is collected in the Palace Museum.
Besides Wang Wei's poems, Wang Duo's Green sticker is also in the book. Wang Duo always thought that if you want to practice good handwriting, you should take the essence from your predecessors. Wang Duo began to copy Wang Xizhi's works at the age of thirteen, and he imitated them very well. Later, it was rumored that Wang Duo had to copy a word every day. Green stickers were written when he was in his fifties. The original works are collected in Shanghai Museum.
At the end of the book, it is Wang Duo's thoughts on his painting "Kulun Hua Fu". Now it is collected in Suzhou Museum.
Wang Duo's calligraphy features Wang Duo, a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, was regarded as a treasure at that time and now. Although he has made some achievements in his official career, he still has not let go of his love for calligraphy, and has been practicing with great concentration and never slackened. This is also the reason why Wang Duo's calligraphy level is getting higher and higher.
Wang Duo's Calligraphy Works
Wang Duo's Mo Bao handed down from generation to generation is rich in quantity and variety. Inscriptions and calligraphy posts have been handed down. For example, the manuscript clearance and Zhunshan Garden Post are very famous in the history of calligraphy. There is a saying that "the queen is king first". The first king refers to Wang Xizhi, and the second king refers to Wang Duo. What a high historical evaluation.
In Wang Duo's regular script, his short book embodies the feeling of simplicity and elegance, while his big book is full of the feeling of fortitude. The font is serious but elegant. Each stroke is vigorous and powerful, giving people a strong momentum. Although the whole of each word is close together, it is not chaotic, only orderly and pleasing to the eye. As for the running script, Wang Duo used a pen calmly and happily, with smooth lines and a sense of jumping, and his handwriting was excellent on paper. In the method of using ink, Wang Duo used ink boldly, which made people feel comfortable and natural. Wang Duo's cursive speed is rhythmic, because it is fast, so the rhythm is obvious. The change of text line thickness presents a gradual change with the rhythm, and there is no other unnecessary action, which is crisp and neat.
How does Wang Duo evaluate Wang Duo, a famous painter and calligrapher in Qing Dynasty? His official position is quite high, but his love for calligraphy has never diminished. He can practice calligraphy day after day, just to be more perfect and pursue better, just to keep improving.
Wang Duo's Calligraphy Works
In the history of calligraphy in China, there is a saying that "the first queen is king". The first king is a famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and his eponymous queen is Wang Duo. In other words, Dong Qichang's calligraphy was very popular in the Ming Dynasty at that time, but Wang Duo advocated usage, which created a new situation in calligraphy and made him unique. Therefore, Dong Qichang and Wang Duo are equal in history, and they are called "the three kings of South, East and North".
Wang Duo's calligraphy style is changeable. He is a genius in calligraphy. In his words, the cursive script takes Erwang as its ancestral source, and he also learned some brushwork of Mi Fei and Yan Zhenqing, so his cursive script is vigorous and free and easy, giving people a hearty feeling, which makes people feel rushing when reading it. Wang Duo's regular script gives people a solemn feeling, but there is no lack of an elegant temperament in it. Every stroke gives people a solemn feeling, and every word is very tall and straight. The fonts in Wang Duo's running script are bold and unconstrained in ink, but calm, which makes people feel calm, a kind of cool breeze and proud paper. In terms of fonts, Wang Duo's running script is vertical and horizontal, and the overall font is slightly longer and slightly to the right, with an intriguing structure and a combination of ingenuity and clumsiness.
Wang Duo is good at writing poems, especially calligraphy. His different fonts will bring different feelings to others, sometimes bold and unrestrained, sometimes subtle, so he is called "Wang Duo" by the world.
Since Wang Duo's calligraphy was a child, Wang Duo has imitated everyone's works, especially Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. In his early works, you can often see the shadows of two kings. After forty, influenced by calligrapher Mi Fei, his writing style began to change. In addition, he has been studying the works of other calligraphers and synthesizing all the main points. He has devoted himself to calligraphy and has more experience with others.
Wang Duo's running script Li He's poem post
The genius of Wang Duo's running script lies in its lines. The lines of Wang Duo's running script are changeable and rich, and the pen is not limited to one thing and two things. Seemingly contradictory, bold and cautious, dignified and euphemistic, cheerful and gloomy, unpredictable. His ink color is uneven, sometimes very thick, so thick that even the specific strokes can't be distinguished, and sometimes light to boring, but the conversion between the two is very natural. Look at the picture of Li He's poem paste. Words such as "illness", "long" and "respect" are rich in ink, but when writing words such as "guest" and "sun", the ink is obviously much lighter. Some people will mistakenly think that this is because Wang Duo didn't adjust his pen and ink properly. Looking at his handwriting seems to be looking at a painting, especially his tick marks, which are very vivid and natural. No matter the upper and lower structure or the left and right structure, most of the characters are inclined, often to the right. The characters of the left and right structure are usually scattered from one height to another, so many people will feel confused when they first see his words.
The representative works of Wang Duo's running script are Hangjuan and Zhunshan Garden Post.
Wang Duo cursive script Wang Duo's cursive script attainments are higher than running script, but few works have been preserved. His cursive script has the ups and downs of running script and is capricious. It may be related to his experience that a man speaks as he is. His life can also be said to have experienced hardships.
Wang Duo cursive "Du Shi"
His family was not rich since childhood. He can't order three meals a day, and sometimes he can't even afford porridge. In fact, his grandfather's family is well-off, with a hundred acres of fertile land, but his grandfather and his father have been eager for a career and devoted themselves to fame, but in the end they all failed and their families fell. Even Wang Duo was only thirty-one when he was promoted to the jury. However, his life was full of troubles and he was in troubled times. Not long after he became an official, the Qing soldiers entered the customs. Wang Duo fell. In the end, although he was also an official of the Qing court, he was spurned by many people. In the end, he can only concentrate on painting and calligraphy. It also made his calligraphy attainments reach the peak.
Wang Duo cursive script is based on Wang Xizhi's Wang Xianzhi, and it also permeates the calligraphy of the Tang people's wild cursive script. It also * * absorbs the characteristics of Huang Tingjian and others, takes its essence and removes its dross, pushing cursive script to a new height. His pen is strong, his handwriting is crisp and neat, and his pen and ink are changeable. From the thick ink at the beginning of writing to the dry ink, this fluctuation gives people a strong sense of rhythm. Just look at the above picture of Du Fu, in which the first, third and fifth lines obviously use more ink. In one go, it is obvious that he has run out of ink in the second and fourth lines.
Wang Duo's representative works in cursive script include Nine Tang Poems, Poems in Cursive Script and Du Qiu Fu Xing. Although I can't fully understand it, I think I can understand a thing or two here.
