Rebuilding the Three Gates of the Xuandian is a calligraphy work created by Zhao Mengfu, a calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty. The paper book is now collected in Tokyo National Museum, Japan, and the stone carving based on it is located at the main entrance of Suzhou Xuanmiao Temple. This calligraphy work was written by a scholar named Mou Mou at the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, which recorded the repair of the temple door of Suzhou Xuanmiao Temple. The original ink is slightly light, the ink color is clear and moist, and there are occasional cursive strokes between the pens.
This book is square, echoing closely from left to right and from top to bottom. The font size is natural, but the cloth and white can better show the harmonious coexistence of fiction and fact. Some words have been added, strokes have been omitted or distorted. The words "Hong, Jian, Xiang, Shi, Min, Lao, Yu and Tu" are added with strokes. For example, the word "Lao" should be a mixture of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, and the word "Jiu" at the bottom of the word is "Lao", which is hidden in the lower right corner.
Some words such as "copy, read, lay, once, soar, level, degree, distance, Luo, xian, Yan" omit strokes, some use variant characters rationally, and some are original. The displacement or deformation of strokes includes words such as "knowing, old, little, receiving and changing", most of which were written by Tang Kairen.
Artistic appreciation of the reconstruction of the three doors of Xuanmiao Temple
The brushwork of Zhao characters revealed in the book is exactly the same as that of temples and Danba tablets. Zhao Zi's brushwork, on the one hand, follows the principle of taking China as the center and following the trend, on the other hand, it is integrated with the brushwork of running script, forming a style that either hides the front trace or shows the front meaning. It is not only different from the neatness and preciseness of calligraphy in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but also different from the preciseness and preciseness of Tang Kai's statutes.
From the point of view of single word processing, the perception and acceptance between lines and the contrast between space and reality all contain an inner strength and an endless trend like a trickle. At the same time, it also reflects the author's skillful ability to control lines, such as the word "minister", but it can be seen that the author has an irresistible rhythm in dealing with trends.
