The creative background of the manuscript of Regret for the Past

The Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew is also called Ji for Sacrificing a Nephew. During the Anshi Rebellion, Yan Zhenqing's cousin Yan Gaoqing was appointed as Changshan County Magistrate, and the rebels advanced on him. Yan Gaoqing's third son, Yan Jiming, is Yan Zhenqing's nephew. When his father unveiled the flag anyway and denounced the Anshi Rebellion with Yan Zhenqing, he sent messages back and forth between Changshan and the plain. However, our troops in Taiyuan were not saved, and Liancheng was broken. Yan Gaoqing and his son Yan Jiming were killed successively, so the article said, "The thief and minister failed to save, and the isolated city besieged the city, and his father died and his nest fell."

Later, Yan Zhenqing sent his long nephew Quan Ming to clean up the mess. He only got one foot of Gao Qing and Ji Ming's skull, which is a work of "offering a manuscript to my nephew". While writing a composition, Duke Lu was obsessed with the past, angry and excited, with blood and tears, sad and angry, and couldn't help it. Yan Zhenqing's article is full of justice, and I feel reluctant to read it. Therefore, Huang Tingjian's Postscript of the Valley Inscription says: "The wording of the Season's Sacrifice to My Nephew can be touched."

The storytelling method is a word, and it is said that there are words. Duke Lu is a loyal and heroic man, and his life is awe-inspiring. His spiritual integrity is embodied in calligraphy, and The Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew is the most popular among calligraphers. From beginning to end, I used a slightly bald pen and a round and healthy brushwork. In the end, I turned myself in. Although the ink was dried and then dipped in ink, the ink color changed greatly because of the pause, but it was done at one go.

Ji Ming's Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew is not only a draft, but its deletion, modification and smearing show that Lu Gong conceived it as a text, with ups and downs of feelings from beginning to end, which is the first ink mark in Lu Gong's calligraphy.
