1. Seventeen best copywriters.
The best copy in history is Zhu's Seventeen Posts, which can completely fit the Jin people regardless of the pen, writing style and composition atmosphere. If you look at his copy directly, it is full of the interest of Jin people. It will be hard for you to imagine that this manuscript was written by a Ming dynasty person. Zhu is unknown in the history of calligraphy, but his Seventeen Articles Copy has become a classic copy in the history of calligraphy, which is looked up to by future generations.
Second, "Seventeen Posts"
Seventeen posts is a famous masterpiece of Wang Xizhi's cursive script, which is named after the word "seventeen". The original ink has long been lost, and now the seventeen articles handed down from generation to generation are block prints. Zhang Tangyan Garden recorded the original ink of seventeen articles: "Seventeen articles are two feet long, that is, there are 107 lines and 943 words.
It's a famous post of xuanhe. Emperor Taizong asked for the books of two kings, and the books of Wang had 3,000 pieces of paper, with a rate of one foot and two feet, and the words of the book were volumes. "
This post is a set of letters, which according to textual research is addressed to his good friend Zhou Fu, the secretariat of Yizhou. It took 14 years to write a book from Yonghe three years to Shengping five years (AD 347-36 1 year), which is an important material for studying Wang Xizhi's life and calligraphy development. A Qing man's bag has an article "seventeen posts" for reference.
This post has been highly praised by predecessors. For example, Huang Song Bos said, "This post is easy to escape, and the dragon is also in the book." Zhu Yue said, "Play with his brushwork, expand his wealth calmly and be aloof from the weather, without binding the law and without seeking to get rid of it." The so-called one by one flows out of your mind. "Some people think this post is" Gu Zhuo's brushwork, which means lingering. "These comments are to the point.
In particular, the writing is leisurely and unconstrained by law, as if it flowed naturally from one's chest, which is the most profound and accurate. Sun once said: "() has degenerated, and every effort should be made to become an adult", that is, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xizhi and the following all deliberately exert themselves in writing and deliberately express their artistic style, thus losing the natural beauty of writing. This kind of comparative comment is very enlightening for calligraphy appreciation.
