Zheng Daozhao's Zheng Wengong Monument

Monument to Zheng Wengong embodies the advantages of many styles, including the brushwork of seal script, the style of official script, the elegance of running script and the solemnity of regular script. His brushwork not only has the feeling of round pen formed by the turning of seal script, but also has the feeling of Fang Bi formed by the folding of official script. Fiona Fang is versatile, changeable and elegant. It is immortal to win glory with the side or win the momentum with the positive side, integrating momentum, rhyme and grass feelings, with a vigorous posture and infinite charm. This monument is majestic and solemn, and is highly valued by calligraphers. For example, Bao and Gong Zizhen compare it to the "harmony of righteousness", the crown of the southern monument. Ouyang Fu commented on this monument and said: "The brushwork is vertical and horizontal, and there is no habit of wild evil. Xiabei is particularly thin and particularly healthy. " Ye even said, "His pen is healthy, he can gouge out rhinoceroses and kill dragons and snakes, but his swimming is vain, all by luck. In the early Tang Dynasty, the schools of Ou Yu, Chu and Xue were all shrouded, not only the first in the Northern Dynasties, but also only one person since the publication of the book. He also said: "My name is Zheng Daozhao, and I am a saint in the book. Jia Zhu, a close friend, commented: "His achievements are by no means inferior to those of Wang Xizhi, and he should be regarded as a book saint in the north, enjoying equal respect with Wang Xizhi. "Zhong Zhishuai's" Learning to Choose Thin Products "said:" Yunfeng Wei inherits the charm of Han Li in the north and opens the voice of Tang Kai. It is a masterpiece of a generation, worthy of the essence of the times. "Zheng Wengong Monument is in the transition period from official script to regular script, and its brushwork is still official script and regular script. In the Qing Dynasty, Bao said that this tablet has the characteristics of seal script, rhyme and grass, and it is "like a cloud crane and a seagull", which is one of the representative works of Weibei calligraphy art. Bao said: "There are many tablets in Weibei, and Zheng Wengong characters are absolutely true, and seal script rhyme is full of them. Iben Ying, a native of Shiben Valley, Hua Cuo, is of the same origin as grass, so it is called Cao Chuan. People who say nothing are close to each other. "It's Wen Zhen Yuan Qi Ye Zhen. Kang Youwei said after reading the Zheng Wengong Monument that people who have never seen this monument are not qualified to talk about calligraphy. In the Qing Dynasty, it became a rare treasure in Wei Bei. For example, the representative works of the North-South School are Yi heming by Nanliang and Zheng Wengong Monument by the Northern Wei Dynasty, both of which are cliff-mountain books with similar styles, which can be described as a double star between the North and the South. Gong Zizhen, a poet in A Qing, said: "If we want to separate from this inscription (referring to One heming), the Northern Dynasties will do something for Zheng Wengong. "Most northern writers are Shu Ren, whose books are anonymous, so the history of calligraphy calls northern Wei calligraphy folk calligraphy. In terms of names, Zheng Daozhao and his son were crowned as "the saints in the book" and Wang Youjun of the Northern School.
