Hard pen should be used to write fine gold, and wolf hair or purple hair is recommended. The first choice is Gou Xianbi. Because when Song Huizong and Evonne wrote Thin Golden Body, they used long peak wolf hair. According to Jinsheng Qiu Gao, the inheritor of China's first rare book, it is said that Song Huizong often used Gou Xianbi, a wolf with a long front face, which was originally used for painting. The length of this pen tip is 7- 10 times the diameter. It is really necessary to use such a slender pen to write this kind of words, so as to show the slender beauty of the thin gold body and the tall and straight style of flesh and blood.
Shoujin Style was initiated by Song Huizong Evonne, also known as Huizong Style, which is a unique style in the history of calligraphy. This book should be "skinny" in image. Changing "gold" into "tendon" is a respect for imperial books. Because of its different styles from traditional calligraphy such as Kincaid and Tang Kai, it is a great innovation in the history of calligraphy.
Characteristics of thin gold body
The thin gold body is smart and quick, and the handwriting is thin and powerful, so that it is thin without losing meat, and the big characters are particularly attractive. Because of its thin and hard strokes and exposed brushwork, you can clearly see the traces of running Teton and other strokes. This is a very unique font. Song Huizong's calligraphy strokes are thin and hard. He studied under Huang Tingjian at first, then under Chu Suiliang, Xue Ji and Xue Yao, and mixed with other schools to learn from each other's strong points and express their opinions, and finally created a unique "thin gold book" style, which had great influence.
Calligraphy in Song Dynasty is good at rhyme and interest, and Evonne's "The Book of Thin Gold" embodies similar aesthetic interest of the times, which is called "the beauty of heaven and bones is beautiful, and the interest is dull"; It also has a strong personality color, the so-called "such as bending iron and breaking gold." This calligraphy style has never appeared in previous calligraphy works.
