Art Appreciation
This post has been valued by calligraphers of the past dynasties for its free and elegant style. Together with Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", it is considered a pair of running script masterpieces. "Manuscript" and "Manuscript of Gao Uncle" are collectively known as Yan's three manuscripts. Many of the writing styles in "The Call for a Seat" evolved from Yan's regular script. The writing style is faster and more relaxed. The writing style is ups and downs and romantic. The writing style is all centered, full of energy and content, and the spirit of killing paper is overflowing. On the outside of the paper, it seems that there is a heroic force of justice running through heaven and earth, which is invincible.
Although it is written by hand, the writing is full of charm, static and dynamic, and varies in size. Mainly straight pen, which is thick and clumsy, simple and vigorous, majestic and elegant, with vertical and horizontal strokes, vigorous writing force, and strong and sharp strokes.
