Shen Quan's Personal Achievements

Shen Quan and Dong Qichang are fellow villagers, and they admired Shu Dong since childhood, and took this as the basis of calligraphy study, which won Shu Dong's brushwork characteristics and charm. Emperor Kangxi loved Dong Qichang's calligraphy, and once studied calligraphy from him, or he specialized in Shu Dong, which influenced Emperor Kangxi's preference for Shu Dong. According to records, when Emperor Kangxi learned calligraphy from him, he always "pointed out its disadvantages and analyzed its reasons". The studious emperor was deeply impressed and rewarded a lot. Kangxi once said to Li Guangdi: "The father of Shi, a beginner, repeatedly refers to Chen's gains and losses. Every time I write a book today, I miss all my diligence." Moreover, "all the imperial monuments, the barriers of the palace, the inscription of the throne, and the public book. Or make a big book, proposition. " Therefore, the popularity of Shu Dong between the ruling party and the opposition party has become a fashion. At the same time as Shen Quan, Jiang, Wang, He Chao and Chen Bangyan were also called "Four Schools of Kangxi", which were mainly based on the calligraphy of Jin and Tang Dynasties or Song and Mi Fei.

There are many ink marks in Shen Quan's calligraphy, such as running script and cursive script, among which running script is the most. Shen Quancun's regular script, such as "Yanju Banzhou in Lulu Plain", is a regular script, but its main features are fairness, sparse spacing and gentle brushwork, which evolved from inheritance. Shen Quancun's running script is generally like regular script, or it is characterized by the elegance of rice script. The cursive works such as "axis of self-narration" are close to Huai Su's cursive techniques, but they are still typical features of Dong Qichang grass. It's hard to see the cursive technique of self-narrative posts. Starting from Dong Qichang, some temporary works only recorded their words as a temporary creative opportunity, without taking their similarities and differences seriously. This, Shen Quan is also imitating Dong Qichang. Even so, Shen Quan's calligraphy just looks like Shu Dong, because his calligraphy is too gentle and stiff. Although it can be called beautiful and elegant, it lacks the ethereal vitality of Shu Dong. Shen Quancun's calligraphy can become the imperial calligraphy of the imperial court and the calligraphy style adapted to the imperial examination system. It must only pay attention to the expression of the body, it lacks expression. Even a good writer like Emperor Kangxi failed to get rid of this drawback.

In ancient and modern calligraphy, saints were called into the inner hall and given seats. Where there is a plaque, where there is a temple barrier, and where there is a throne, write it down. Or make a big book by yourself and make a proposition. Every time I present a book by a sage, I remove its disadvantages and analyze its reasons. The sage benefits from his loyalty. He was endowed with imperial books, phoenix tubes, hooves, marten attacks, literary talent and nameplates, which were unparalleled. World-famous, not as good as Zhao Mengfu and Dong Qichang. Although the book learns from Dong, it has no charm. After his son Jing Zong died, he edited him into a straight line and ordered him to write lines and sample books, large and small, to recall the past. The chamberlain sent a messenger to Anxi, saying, "At the beginning of Pi, my father gave me charity, and he pointed out Chen's gains and losses many times. Every book he has written so far has never missed all diligence. " Died at the age of 61. His representative works include Running Script as Tianma Fu Axe, Nanfan Yong and Chong Zhai Ji. Shi Yushan's Poems and Notes, Wang Xi's Collected Notes, The Big Dipper Pen, Aupolo's Painting and Calligraphy.
