Qigong calligraphy 535

Huai Su (737 ~ 799)

China calligrapher of Tang Dynasty. The common surname is money, and the word hides the truth. He is from Lingling County, Hunan Province. It was founded in the 25th year of Kaiyuan in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (737) and the 15th year of Zhenyuan in Dezong (799). Because all three ethnic groups are monks, they are called "Lingling Monk" or "Shichangsha" in history books.

Huai Su is an outstanding calligrapher in the history of China. His cursive script is called "Crazy Grass". His pen is round and powerful, making it turn like a ring, unrestrained and smooth, just like Zhang Xu. Later generations called it "Zhang Dian vegetarian" or "drunk". It can be said that it is a classical romantic art, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations. He also wrote poems and had contacts with poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Su Xun. Good at drinking, whenever drinking rises, regardless of walls, clothes, utensils, arbitrary writing, when people call it a "drunken monk." His cursive script was written by Zhang Zhi and Zhang Xu. Lu Tang, the general manager, said in his reading review: "Huai Su's cursive script changes at will with the help of electricity, and Huai Su's book is listed as a wonderful work in The Continuation of Books by Song and Zhu. The commentary said: "If a strong man draws his sword, the color of the gods will be moving. "

Huai Su was smart and studious since childhood. When I was 65,438+00 years old, I suddenly felt homesick, and my parents couldn't stop me. In his autobiography, he said straight away: "Huai Su lives in Changsha, a young Buddhist. After meditation, I am quite fond of writing. " His spirit of studying hard and practicing hard is amazing. Because he couldn't afford to buy paper, Huai Su found a board and a disc and painted it with white paint to write. Later, Huai Su thought the lacquer board was smooth and not easy to ink, so he planted more than 10,000 plantains on a wasteland near the temple. When the banana grew up, he picked the leaves and spread them on the table, waving at the post. Because Huai Su practiced calligraphy day and night, the old banana leaves were peeled off and the lobules were reluctant to pick, so he thought of a way to stand in front of the banana tree with pen and ink and write to the fresh leaves, even if the sun shone on him like a frying pan; The biting north wind cracked his hands and skin, but he kept practicing calligraphy regardless. He kept writing about one place after another. This is the famous calligraphy practice of Huai Su Banana.

In Chang 'an Huai Su's fame, there are as many as 37 poems praising his cursive script. His cursive scripts include autobiographical notes, bitter bamboo shoots, fish-eating notes, notre dame notes, essays in books, thousands of grass articles, thousands of grass articles, forty-two chapters, thousands of words, Tibetan true notes, seven notes, Beiting cursive pens and so on. Among them, "fish paste" is extremely thin, strong in bone strength, cautious and calm. However, the book "Self-narrative Post" is full of charm because of its different mood from the book "Eating Fish Post". It's really amazing. Mi Fei's "Haiyue Book Review": "Huai Su is like a strong man wielding a sword, and his spirit is moving, but he advances and retreats in a roundabout way." Many poets in the Tang Dynasty praised it, such as Li Bai's cursive music and Huai Su's master Manji's cursive music.

Huai Su is good at using the pure momentum of the central pen to make a big grass, such as "a whirlwind of sudden rain, full of momentum", reaching the realm of "suddenly whistling three or five times, and a thousand words are full of walls". Although the speed is fast, Huai Su can cross the grass with few mistakes. Compared with the confusion and omissions of many calligraphers, it is much better. Wild grass knows Huai Su. Although it is the first, it is ever-changing and will never leave the statutes of Wei and Jin Dynasties. This is really due to his extreme penance. There are many books handed down from generation to generation in Huai Su, including Thousand Words, Pure Classics, Our Lady, Hiding the Truth, Fagong, beriberi, Self-report, Bitter Bamboo Shoots, Eating Fish and Chapter 42.

There are three autobiographies handed down from ancient times, and this ink is the most precious. Mr. Qi Gong thought it was copying the Song Dynasty, and Mr. Zhu Guantian thought that they were all good people afterwards, which was inferred from the cursive script of songji, a master of Huai Su, which was circulated at that time and had nothing to do with Huai Su. In any case, this cursive script, which is considered to be Huai Su's masterpiece in his later years, is full of weeds, and the pen and pen core, like a conical sand table, are inclined and straight. Echoing up and down like a storm, you can imagine that the author's heart and hands are full of lofty sentiments and consistent scenes when doing exercises. In the Ming Dynasty, An Qi called this post: "The color of ink and air paper is wonderful and moving, and the vertical and horizontal changes occurred at the beginning, which is mysterious."
