You Bao shan Ji calligraphy

The last of the four families of Wumen is Wang Chong. Wang Chong, a native of Rainbow, is called Maid Mountain. Like Tang Bohu, his father is a hotel owner, and both of them know how to engage in quality education. I made friends with Wang Chong since I was a child, and invited my good friends Shen and Wang Shou as teachers of Wang Chong and his younger brother. Wang Chong's brothers are all very talented. Wang Chong became a student in Suzhou before he was 20 years old. What is the situation of government student staff? At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, felt that education was affected by the war, so he wrote to set up government-run schools at the locations of government offices in prefectures and counties all over the country to recruit "junmin" and "children of bureaucrats", with 40 official students, 30 state students and 20 county students-Wang Chong's is equivalent to the top class of provincial key middle schools (in fact, it is more difficult than this). Wang Chong ranks among the best in poetry and calligraphy in daily assessment, and he is an out-and-out "schoolmaster". Many people asked him for advice and successfully passed the imperial examination after receiving his guidance. Embarrassed, Wang Chong himself could not take the imperial examination. From 17 to 38, Wang Chong took eight imperial examinations, but all failed. The same experience made him friends with Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming, Tang Bohu and others-the so-called four gifted scholars were all frustrated in the imperial examination, and he was my brother! Wang Chong's son married Tang Bohu's daughter, and they became in-laws. The calligraphy of Wang Chong, the four great talents, is also hard-trained. Studied calligraphy in Shihu, Suzhou for 20 years. He never goes to town unless he visits his relatives and friends. It took me five years to visit Mo Jin and famous writers in the Tang Dynasty, which laid a solid foundation. He followed the example of Zhong You, two kings (Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi), Zhi Yong and Yu Shinan, and pursued the Tang Dynasty by law and the Jin Dynasty by rhyme. His running script draws lessons from Wang Xianzhi and Zhu Yunming, but at the same time, it incorporates his own diluted and peaceful temperament, forming his own personal characteristics of being smart, clumsy and elegant in Gu Zhuo. This style of Wang Chong changed the gentle and charming style of the calligraphy circle at that time, and deeply influenced later Xu Wei, Huang Daozhou and others, and was one of the main forces of the Wumen calligraphy school. Someone once commented on him: Wang Xizhi was swift in Mi Fei, correct in Zhao Mengfu, rich in Wang Duo and scattered in Wang Chong. -So, in terms of verve, Wang Chong learned from Wang Xizhi the best. It's a pity that Wang Chong died young and only lived to be 40 years old, which led to his calligraphy not being as good as by going up one flight of stairs's, but even so, he was rated as "Wang Yayi's calligraphy first after Hengshan (Wen Zhiming)". Wang Chong's representative works mainly include You Bao Shan Ji, Cao Shu Ji, Wu Yi Ge Zhuan Shu, Yan Wu, Fu Xue, Yuefu, Shi Jueju and so on.
