From: Mingming by Yuan, one of the four sons of the Republic of China.
Original text: "At first glance, it is slightly weak and self-defeating. The ancient platform is desolate and based on the mausoleum. Boffin's life is too unstable, and the magic cliff in Yun Qi is full of dreams. I sniffed the flute in the distant forest and turned on the light in Ling Lin's room alone. It's too cold and windy at the top, so don't go to Qiongding Building. "
Yuan, the second son of Yuan Shikai, was one of the four sons of the Republic of China. He is romantic, elegant and knowledgeable. "At the age of fifteen, reading books, learning to remember and writing lyrics are already great." Poetry is also called "superb and open-minded, quaint and unconventional". It's too cold at the top, so don't go to Qiongding Building. "There is quite a sincere meaning in the poem, which is regarded as an excellent proof of persuading his father and brother not to do it, going against the sky and restoring the monarchy.
Extended data:
Yuan lived in a period of drastic political change from imperial power politics to civil rights politics. His ideas were not in harmony with the social environment at that time, which created his unique lifestyle, which directly affected his calligraphy art style.
People often say that "poetry expresses ambition", "songs express feelings" and "books are like people". This shows a regular thing, that is, cultural products reflect the creator's personality characteristics, and the artistic connotation of cultural products often reflects the creator's ideological connotation. Yuan's calligraphy art can also illustrate this point.
Its composition takes advantage of the situation, and the structure in the inner palace is broad, giving people an open-minded and generous feeling with a pen. Second, the word "drunk sorrow" written for the famous Hannah Quinlivan Zhang Zhuoyun is simple and unpretentious, giving people the pleasure of being broad-minded and frank.
Yuan likes to wait on her with a beautiful woman holding a paper, hanging in the air, making the fragrant ink dripping and the strokes flowing in a string, which makes everyone present laugh. He wrote big characters, covered the floor with paper, and scribbled them on the bedside when he wrote his diary in small characters, which made the audience feel wonderful because of the curiosity caused by his writing style.
These characteristics also reflect his unique personality of the times, such as being a good friend, being a big shot in green gang and being an "inferior". Therefore, we say that Yuan's calligraphy is touching calligraphy, which makes people laugh. It is a lively writing and a portrayal of his temperament and mentality at that time.
To achieve art, you need seven points of talent and three points of diligence. Yuan was born in a powerful family, and his cultural atmosphere created rare conditions for his artistic growth. He was born smart and eager to learn, and his artistic talent was extremely high. He laid a good artistic foundation for poetry, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. 65,438+08 years old, with mature calligraphy, enjoys a good reputation in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.
Yuan advocated that calligraphy should be practiced from seal script. His books are picturesque and blank, with a strong sense of tracing the source and a scholar's demeanor. His seal cutting method is based on Zhong Ding characters, and his opening method starts with the face shape. Not only can I write in four fonts: Zhen, Cao, Li and Zhuan, but I also have a good hand and won the true meaning of calligraphy.
His four-body screen calligraphy, the round and tender feet of regular script, was written as straight feet like a knife, and Lian Bi's round cursive script became a widely circulated picture. The beauty of rigidity and softness of official script has become the beauty of "folding gold hairpin" in his works, and seal script is even more elegant and simple.
Unfortunately, Ning Zhuo is the principle of his calligraphy and the embodiment of his life style. Classic calligraphy works, such as the paper screen, are just a shining and short-lived portrayal of Yuan maverick's life like a meteor across the dark night sky.
