How good was Semu's calligraphy in Yuan Dynasty?

After the Mongols entered the Central Plains, the status of the Han people plummeted. At that time, their chain of discrimination was simple and rude, and they pursued the supremacy of Mongolia and gave preferential treatment to Semu people. There is widespread contempt for Han people, and some areas here are dark, which is different from the discrimination of northerners now. Southerners were particularly unpopular at that time.

But Semurenkang is a clean stream. When the Imperial Examination was terminated in the Yuan Dynasty, Han scholars were suddenly caught by the throat of being an official, and being an official depended on recommendation. Confucianism as a whole is declining. Kun moves against the trend and concentrates on the method of self-cultivation and cultivation, which is almost a lean Han.

Kun Kun of Li Kang is a member of Semu Li Kang. Zi Zishan's name is Zhengzhai. Please forgive me. Her name is Peng Lei. Official to Hanlin bachelor, Kuizhangge university, history of the Ministry of Rites, etc. Wen Zhong died. His brother Kang was both a famous minister at that time and was called "Shuangyu" by the world.

At that time, there was a government department dinner and a geisha performance, but he sat on the side and turned a blind eye. Sir, all this, his men have to follow carefully. ...

Besides, Kun Kun in Li Kang is really not faking it. Their whole family is like this. His father is humble and studious, and even Zhao Mengfu praised him many times. Flying eagle running dogs, philandering, has nothing to do with him. Only reading can make him happy. In this regard, Xu Youren said that he is "a family heirloom without gold, and books are poems except tree art".

Zhao Mengfu, a leading figure in calligraphy in Yuan Dynasty, was 41 years older than Kang, and when Kang was eighteen, he happened to be a colleague of Zhao Mengfu, so his calligraphy won the favor of Zhao Mengfu. As we all know, Zhao Mengfu was a black hole in calligraphy, and people around him could not escape his strong centripetal force. Almost the whole book circle in Yuan Dynasty was under his influence. However, although Ji Kang studied under Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy, he was able to break away from Zhao's calligraphy style.

Zhao characters are good at running script, elegant in temperament, flat and broad in shape, and implicit in writing; And Li Kang's Kun Kun is hanging his wrist and running grass, with a slender figure, handsome and free and easy, strong turn and anticlimactic. Zhang Xu's calligraphy volume, a cursive script in the Palace Museum, is a typical example.

This volume was written in the fourth year of Shunzhi (1333). At that time, Kang Richi was 38 years old, and his skill and energy were in the prime of life. Judging from the writing interests and structural habits, there are obviously two writing styles of Zhang Xu and Huai Su, famous cursive writers in the Tang Dynasty. Kang's calligraphy is famous for his quick use of the pen, which is also his genius. This style is also reflected in this post, which makes the whole volume vigorous and straight, round and clear, and full of charm.
