Bai Fei was created with a broom dipped in white paint. Some of its strokes are parallel to the dead silk, and the strokes at the turning point are prominent. Now the dry strokes of calligraphy and painting are also called flying white. In writing, the strength is generated, so that the dry pen is "flying white", which is in contrast with thick ink and rising ink, so as to strengthen the sense of rhythm and rhythm of the work.
Wu Zetian's calligraphy is the only monument today. The calligraphy value of the sage prince tablet should not be underestimated. The inscription is mainly based on modern grass, supplemented by running script, and has the charm of Zhangcao. In this regard, Volume I of Xuanhe Huapu commented: "It is terrible to break, except for the taste of lead powder." Mr. Ni Wendong, a famous modern calligrapher, commented on the calligraphy of the Immortal Monument to the Prince, saying: "Look at its handwriting, it does have a foundation and a manly spirit. It's really a female hero. "
"Flying white" means that the silk in the painting is white, and some people call it "flying silk", like cloth flying in the wind. Legend has it that Cai Yong, a calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was inspired to create this technique when he saw craftsmen painting walls with brooms dipped in lime water. In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Fei's calligraphy had the appearance of an official script, with a wave-like horizontal painting and a square, flat and round brushwork like Cao Zhang's, which made the pen break its meaning and fly. Wu Zetian's flying white book also has bird-shaped decoration, which is very strange. Evaluation of Zhao Jue's ink engraving in Ming Dynasty "The six-character flying white book" Monument to the Immortal Prince "is also in good bird shape. The flying white book has not been handed down for a long time, and it only has ears. " Yang pointed out in the New Biography of Wu Zetian: "The Monument to the Immortal Prince written by her is very interesting because of the combination of running script and flying white strokes. Fei Bai Ben is also decorated with a bird shape, which contains the legend that the prince ascended to heaven by crane to express Taoist thought. The brushwork is flexible and smooth, graceful and round, and it is a masterpiece in the book. "
The so-called "flying white" is calligraphy characterized by white strokes, which is extremely difficult, but it looks extremely elegant. Wu Zetian wrote the names of ministers in a white notebook and gave them. Some ministers said in the above table: "You bite the hand that feeds you, write a flying white notebook, give the ministers their names, kneel in a treasure, and wear a Wen Qiong, which seems to be a test of the five gods. It's the first time to win six titles, and it's the first time to cover eight bodies and spend money alone ... Zhong You tried hard and hard, and it's hard to compare. "English is absolutely tough and caught. Then know that God is sacred and all wisdom will be shared. Versatile, always fragrant. "Wu Zetian's calligraphy attainments can be seen!
Running script is a kind of calligraphy between regular script and cursive script, which is vigorous and natural, easy to be recognized by most people and has strong artistic expression. Wu Zetian copied the running script of the two kings, which has its own characteristics. At that time, a minister said in the above table: "I read the imperial essays in the second thought, all of which are 90 volumes. I knelt down and put them away for Yao to check." The astronomical scenery is bright, and the combination is even; The sacred principle returns to the clouds, and the phoenix is shocked. The coincidence of Huang Xuan's bird tracks has left the Purple Mansion empty. When the waves fall, they will become precious and salty; Half a soul is full of sunrise, as beautiful as the sky. Solid has been strange, beautiful, good balance, a thousand years. ..... is a miracle in the world, and there are all kinds of wonders in the region. "
