In the annotation of "Collection of Kuang Lu's Poems", it was mentioned: "Kuang Lu's cursive calligraphy is elegant and healthy, and he has high attainments. Today, there is still an inscription in Kuang Lu's calligraphy on the Guangxiao Temple stele in Guangzhou." I rushed there excitedly. Guangxiao Temple, looking for his surviving calligraphy relics. But I searched all over Guangxiao Temple to no avail. A middle-aged monk wearing glasses said that it might have been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Anyway, he had never seen this stele since he entered Guangxiao Temple. The young monk selling incense at the door said, There are several ancient steles in the temple, including those from the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, but I have never heard of Kuang Lu's monument. Most of the other monks shook their heads. It seemed that no one in the temple had seen this monument before.
When I was taking the subway back, I flipped through the photocopied materials on hand and suddenly remembered that it came from documents published in the 1950s and 1960s. How could the "today" mentioned above be the "today" today? "Woolen cloth? I couldn't help but laugh. Where can I find the authentic work of this "unparalleled" genius?
Fortunately, Liang Jiyong, a modern Lingnan talent who is also good at poetry and calligraphy, and also loves guqin and appreciation of antiquities, surprised me. He has studied Kuang Lu for many years, and he took a photo of Kuang Lu at a cultural relics exhibition. Lu's cursive works, including a portrait of Kuang Lu from the mid-Qing Dynasty, make up for our regrets.
