Zi Zishan, whose real name is Zheng Zhai, Shu Lao and Peng Shu Lao, is a Mongolian.
"Yuan Shi" originally said that he was: "The cursive script is good and true, and those who know it are said to have the brushwork of Jin people, fighting for treasures with their own hands, but without the wings of golden jade." His calligrapher, Fa Yu Shi Nan, followed Zhong You and Wang Xizhi in cursive script from Huai Su and absorbed Mi Fei's wild style. At that time, he was able to start his own artistic path. Jie Jin in the Ming Dynasty said: "Zishan tree is like a male sword leaning against the sky, and Changhong drives the sea."
As an outstanding minority calligrapher, Kang is unique in the calligraphy field, with little pen and ink, taking the cursive poem Tang Gong Ti as the turning point. His fisherman's ci-poetry and cursive brushwork did have the style of Tang and Jin dynasties. Li Bai's poem "Nineteen Ancient Styles" was written in bold and unrestrained fonts, winning the brushwork of Cao Zhang and Crazy Grass.
His representative works are:
Cursive letters:
Li Kangkun's cursive hand-written letter is extremely wonderful. Although it is scribbled, the pen is in line with the statutes. Dense and honest, suit yourself. At the end, the word is long and the paper is short, and the more you write, the more dense it is. Even between the lines, you sometimes add supplementary words, but you don't feel crowded. On the contrary, because the lines can meet or avoid each other, it looks psychic and breathable, dense but not greasy.
