In addition, Sun's brief introduction also said that he was very honest and noble. When he was a small official in the Tang Dynasty, he was criticized for being too outspoken and lost his official position. Then he resigned and returned to his hometown. He devoted himself to the study of calligraphy even though he was unwell, and wanted to compile works for it. But before he finished writing, he suddenly died in an inn in Luoyang because of poverty. He was respected by some people at that time because of his outstanding calligraphy.
What is Sun's achievement?
Sun, an ancient man who has always been knowledgeable, dabbled in regular script and running script, and cursive script was the best and the best. His books, such as Pu Shu and Qian Zi Wen, have been handed down in cursive script. Among these works, Sun's greatest achievement is. This kind of ink was criticized not long after it was created. Some people say that his handwriting is no different from ordinary people. A thousand words are a category, and every word is a representation, which is a great blow to him. But this statement was overthrown in later generations.
As Sun's greatest achievement, Shupu received a lot of praise in later generations. In the Song Dynasty, it was said that his calligraphy inherited from the two kings, and his brushwork was very tough and powerful. Although he doesn't feel elegant, his calligraphy is still very bold compared with other people's works. Although some people have high demands on calligraphy, they appreciate his cursive script, so this work is the greatest achievement of an outstanding grandson.
Sun evaluation
First of all, it must be an evaluation of his works. Many of his works have a high historical position in the history of ancient calligraphy. In particular, many of his expositions are of great significance so far. This shows that Sun's contribution to calligraphy is unmatched by many people. Sun is good at calligraphy, such as patterns, lines and cursive scripts, especially Sun's cursive scripts. There are many books written by Sun, among which three are famous, namely, Wen and Jing Fu Dian Fu. However, his ink painting "Jing Fu Dian Fu" has been passed down to this day, so in terms of Sun's calligraphy, later generations have a high opinion of him.
For Sun himself, later generations spoke highly of him, especially in his character, indifferent to fame and fortune, diligent and serious. As can be seen from the historical records, Sun was born in a poor family, so he studied hard for more than 20 years every day before he achieved later achievements. Moreover, he taught himself, which was not easy at that time. Sun went to be an official in his forties, but he couldn't stand the darkness of officialdom at all, so his career as an official soon ended, which reflected his character of being indifferent to fame and fortune and not colluding with the dark forces.
