The plaque of the Palace Museum in Beijing now displayed in front of people was specially inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo. From the font form, I also compared it? The Palace Museum? Continuous fonts, perhaps because my knowledge reserve is relatively small and I lack a lot of knowledge. In my opinion, there is really no survival of the fittest between the two. The inscription on the official website of the Palace Museum is not written by ordinary people. It was written by Mr. Guo Moruo, a famous archaeologist, calligrapher and writer in modern China.
Tracing back to the history of the Palace Museum, there were two plaques in the Palace Museum. The first plaque was inscribed by Li Yuying, a famous scholar in the Republic of China. Of course, for most people today, when I mention it again? Li Wei? Perhaps few people have heard of the name of this century old man, because those old friends decades ago are really strange to us now.
The History of Changes from the Forbidden City to the Palace Museum in Ming and Qing Dynasties
The Manchu dynasty, which ruled for nearly 300 years in A.D. 19 12, finally stepped off the historical stage with the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911. At the same time, China's 2,000-year feudal history will be declared farewell and replaced by the old era of democratic revolution. 1924 but with the outbreak of the second direct service war, Feng Yuxiang took the opportunity to ban the Cao Kun regime and seize the Beijing regime. What was Feng Yuxiang's first order when he entered Beijing? Get rid of the others in the Forbidden City? Of course, the idle people mentioned here are Pu Yi and others.
At that time, although the government of the Republic of China was nominally in charge of China, in fact, the warlords in China were in chaos. Therefore, even if Feng Yuxiang's behavior was not supported by other warlords at that time, no one cared about this business in order to preserve his three-point strength. Under Feng Yuxiang's expulsion order, Puyi and others were expelled from the Forbidden City. Since then, the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties with a history of more than 600 years has been completely separated? An individual? . 1925, in response to the call of the government, the Forbidden City in Ming and Qing Dynasties was transformed into a museum. On the day when it was transformed into a museum, 2 1 China celebrities such as Cai Yuanpei, Yu Youren and Xiong Xiling attended.
Everyone knows Guo Moruo, but few people know Li Yuying.
As a famous scholar in the Republic of China, Li Yuying was not very famous at that time, but he was quite famous in the cultural circle. Under the strong recommendation of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, Mr. Li Yuying picked up a brush and wrote it down one by one? The Palace Museum? These six big characters. Facing Mr. Li Yuying? The Palace Museum? At that time, many well-read people in the society were amazed, because few people could beat the appearance of these words. Some people think that Mr Li Yuying is a master of calligraphy, but he is not. Mr. Li Yuying was a very famous master of Chinese studies during the Republic of China, and of course his calligraphy was also very accomplished.
On yellow paper about 10,000 feet long, Mr. Li Yuying is as steady as a mountain. Faced with many cultural leaders, the old man was calm and natural, holding a big brush in his hand and struggling to write. Worthy of being a master of Chinese studies, worthy of having a strong calligraphy foundation. As soon as I got up, I wrote strict calligraphy directly in such a huge font, and the last ink was written, which surprised everyone present. I think the story of "making the finishing point" in our primary school textbooks is just that!
But I really don't know why I have to rewrite it after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Palace Museum? What about this plaque? Is it impossible to continue using Mr. Li Yuying's works? In a word, at the suggestion of many people, they elected Mr. Guo Moruo, a famous scholar, to undertake this work. Change the plaque? Big project is rewriting? The Palace Museum? .
I don't want to comment on Mr. Guo Moruo's calligraphy here. I only know that Guo Moruo's calligraphy has been disputed by later generations. In Mr. Guo Moruo's calligraphy world, is there anything more successful than the Palace Museum inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo? Bank of China? A few inscriptions.
Each has his own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.
Written by Mr. Guo Moruo? The Palace Museum? It belongs to the running script font. As mentioned above, Mr. Li Yuying's calligraphy is written in print. Both have their own characteristics. However, personally, I think Mr. Li Yuying's calligraphy is more neat. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. It has also been expressed that Mr. Guo Moruo's calligraphy inscription is vigorous and powerful, and it is not difficult to see that Mr. Guo Moruo's foundation in the field of calligraphy is very solid.
From the visual effect, Mr. Guo Moruo's running script seems to be far superior to Mr. Li Yuying's style, while the Palace Museum, a historical building with China characteristics, is slightly superior to Mr. Gu Muer's running script.
Let me express my opinion again. Today, the Palace Museum in Beijing has a history of more than 600 years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Palace Museum has changed its plaques twice. From the historical tradition, Mr. Li Yuying's inscription is longer, and Mr. Guo Moruo's inscription is closer than Mr. Li Yuying's. So I think the Palace Museum should keep the original plaque for a longer time.
Liang Lang said
Mr. Guo Moruo's calligraphy is heavy and simple, with agility and flying in heavy and simple; On the other hand, Mr. Li Yuying's calligraphy is dignified and rigorous, revealing a solemn feeling. So as a descendant, I can't judge these two calligraphy works. After all, both of them are great calligraphers in China, and their works are excellent.
The calligraphy works of the two gentlemen have their own merits. If we have to judge the level, then I think this standard is difficult to decide. Some people may say that Mr. Guo Moruo's calligraphy is better; On the contrary, some people will support Li Yuying's style. Faced with different opinions on the same thing, it is normal for two different voices to appear, but the excellent calligraphy art left over from ancient China still needs to be inherited and carried forward by future generations.
