But little known is that Xin Qiji is not only good at lyrics and martial arts, but also among the best in calligraphy.
There is only one calligraphy work handed down from ancient times in the Palace Museum, and that is Xin Qiji's "Serving the Country".
The full text of the "Going to the Country Post" is 1 10. "Abandoning illness and going to the country to stand on its own feet in autumn, suddenly seeing winter, Zhan Yongzheng is sincere and will not change every day. The first edge drives chi to the official, that is, the supervisor is in charge of arrest. He is engaged in the feather of chariots every day, and he sits in a hurry and looks a little haggard. If you don't talk about daily life, you must dare to slack off and be enlightened. It refers to Wu Huiyun, not the turtle merger. Sit with your heart. Present your right hand. In addition to the secret pavilion, missionary Lang has the right to mention some prison affairs on Jiangnan West Road. Xin Qiji wrote a book. "
It can be seen from the content that this was written by Xin Qiji when he was an official in Jiangxi. At that time, he was 36 years old and had just wiped out public security in the country. Although he worked hard and forgot to eat and sleep, he finally let the local people no longer be harassed. Therefore, Xin Qiji is still very courageous in his letters to friends. This is Xin Qiji. No matter where he is an official, he always wants to do things for the people.
He also wants to prevent his military talents from being wasted on trivial official duties, so he always requires subordinate troops according to the standards of the front-line troops against gold. No matter where he leads his troops, as this calligraphy says, "he is engaged in the chariot feather room every day", and he never forgets his lifelong ambition.
Although the font of this calligraphy is small, it is calm and vigorous and very popular. It can be described as magnificent.
In fact, Xin Qiji's calligraphy is not necessarily better than that of other literati in the Song Dynasty. However, due to his great personality charm in history, his calligraphy has been valued by generations, especially in the Ming Dynasty.
Now, Xin Qiji's calligraphy is in the Palace Museum. Friends who like it can go to the Palace Museum to have a look at Jiaxuan Mo Bao and feel his infinite charm through paper.
