Why do you say that about this book?

A person's calligraphy works include not only the national tradition and the spirit of the times, but also the author's personality and sentiment. "If people have different faces and different sexual points, although there is a book, each has its own convenience." (Zhang Tang Huai Guan "On the Six Methods of Calligraphy") Therefore, the artistic styles of calligraphers are different. All the scholars in the Tang Dynasty studied under the king, and only Ou, Yu, Chu, Xue, Xu, Li, Yan and Liu were adults. North is a beautiful student, while Cai Bidu, Su Biqu, Huang Biyun and Mi Bizi have different styles. This is because they have different personalities. Although they live in the same era and share the same ancestry, their calligraphy art has different features. In fact, the temperament and charm of calligraphy are always permeated with the thoughts and feelings of calligraphers, and they are always stubbornly reflected in their works, and no one can restrain themselves at will.

China's calligraphy art has always paid attention to the temperament and charm of characters. Because calligraphy art can entrust and express the author's thoughts and feelings. As early as the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yang Xiong said: "Books also draw hearts." This paper reveals the relationship between calligraphy and the inner world of the creative subject. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Yi formally put forward: "Every mortal has different qi and blood and different bones and muscles. Close-minded and clumsy. The ugliness of books lies in the heart and hands. Further concretize "books are like people". Later, Amin Xiang Mu explained this truth. " What the heart sends is morality, economy, honor, integrity, articles and handwriting. However, people's minds are different, just like their nature, from the inside out, books are also cloudy. ("Calligraphy is elegant. What is said here is that calligraphy can also express people's personality and temperament characteristics. He also said: "Different personalities, different temperaments, pen strokes, evil self-form. "In the Qing Dynasty, Liu Xizai wrote in" A Book of Art ":"Pen and ink are based on human temperament. " And he said, "The book is like this. If he studies, if he is talented, if he is ambitious, in short, he is like a person. " It is further pointed out here that calligraphy not only shows people's temperament, but also shows knowledge, talent and ambition. That is to say, the character and moral character of a calligrapher. Liu Xizai also summed up the calligraphy characteristics of people with different identities: "Tessa's book is warm and mellow, Xiong Jun's book is Shen Yi, the book of abnormal people is degenerate, and the book of gifted scholars is beautiful. "This is the case. In the history of calligraphy, almost everyone is honest and noble. Their morality, sentiment, personality, integrity and their calligraphy works have been handed down to future generations, which is amazing. For example, Wang Xizhi's elegant and leisurely style; Yan Zhenqing's fortitude and integrity; Su Dongpo's broad-minded and bold spirit; Zhu Yunming's romantic chic; Different customs in Zheng Banqiao; Deng's simple and honest, etc. , can be reflected in their calligraphy works. Therefore, "the book of a generation" is full of people and writers of a generation. "(Outline of Art Books) This points out more thoroughly that the art of calligraphy expresses people's mental outlook.

But the same author, under different circumstances and different feelings, is both "laughing and sighing", and his writing has its own characteristics and differences. For example, Yan Zhenqing's famous regular script "Duo Ta Induction Monument" and "Sacrifice to a Nephew", known as "the second running script in the world", were written under two completely different temperaments. The former is strict with multi-tower piety, creating a meticulous, dignified and vigorous artistic style; The latter was strict, with great anger at betraying the general minister and deep sorrow for his nephew, and created a bold and unconstrained artistic style of Yan Xing, turning grief into an armchair strategist. As Chen Yi once said, the feelings of "joys and sorrows" have their own scores. Happiness means that you are angry and comfortable, anger means that you are rude and dangerous, sadness means that you are depressed, and happiness means that you are flat and beautiful. If the feelings are serious, the words are shallow and profound, and the changes are endless "("The Essence of Hanlin ") Tang Sun Guoting talks about Wang Xizhi, and" Writing Le Yi "is full of emotions; The book "Painting Praise" was originally intended to be magnificent; Huang Tingjing is full of nothingness; "Taishi Zhen" is also a vertical and horizontal debate; Similar to Lanting Jixing, the calmness of thought is superb; I swear in private and feel miserable. (Book spectrum) Because calligraphy is a perceptual art form, Yang Xiong called it "heart painting", Wang Xizhi called it "book meaning" and Xu Wenchang called it "book spirit", all of which briefly pointed out the spiritual essence of calligraphy art, in a word, "just like a person.
