Yan Zhenqing mentioned in the article that "the thief and the minister don't save, the lonely city is besieged, the father is trapped in the child, and the nest is covered in eggs". The pen is heavy, the words are big and the ink is thick, which is to describe the shock of the death of my brother and nephew. At the end of the article, "alas, alas, it's still delicious" almost turned into weeds, and the calligrapher's heart broke from the paper.
Yan Zhenqing is the head of four calligraphers: Yan, Ou, Liu and Zhao. His regular script is thick and magnificent, and his magnificent calligraphy style has influenced the history of calligraphy for more than 1000 years. In fact, Yan Zhenqing's achievements in running script are no less than regular script. Even Mi Fei, a painter and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty who criticized Yan Zhenqing's regular script most sharply, once said: "Yan Lugong can teach!" It means you can study Yan Zhenqing's running script.
The Draft of Sacrificing a Nephew is the representative work of Yan Zhenqing's running script. It is a combination of Fiona Fang and Harmony, vigorous and vigorous, and changes the image of Wang Xizhi's running script. The dry and wet shades on the ink naturally appear with the writing mood, and the contrast is strong. For example, "Say Soldiers Obey" uses a thirsty pen, while "My Dad is Dedicated" uses a strong pen.
In addition, the huge ink blocks formed by alteration strengthen the emotional rendering power. In terms of composition, it is coherent, light and heavy, full of changes, and the whole article is integrated, which conforms to the written law everywhere and is not bound by the written law.
This sad eulogy expresses the deepest feelings in solemn terms. The whole volume is mainly running script, as well as regular script and cursive script. Eye-catching traces of deletion and smearing can also provide a glimpse of Yan Zhenqing's emotional ups and downs.
The ink color shows a contrast in the beginning, stop, stop and line of brushwork, which seems disorderly, but in fact it is coherent in spirit and reveals true feelings, which completely conveys the calligrapher's state of mind and vividly describes historical events.
trait
"Sacrificing my nephew" is stronger than imposing manner, but its brushwork is not chaotic. Yan Zhenqing's heart is full of anger at the status quo, and it is difficult for ordinary people to write fluently in a rage. The whole manuscript of "Sacrificing a Nephew" seems to be scrawled, but if we look closely at every word, we can find that even if Yan Zhenqing pours out his emotions, his brushwork is not chaotic.
Another advantage of the Manuscript for Sacrificing a Nephew is that when you read through the whole manuscript, you will feel the ups and downs of Yan Zhenqing with the description of the content, and the font will gradually "accelerate" from the beginning, and when the angry emotions accumulate to the later peak, the inner emotions will be fully reflected in the strokes. What Yan Zhenqing pursues is "winning with pen power", instead of deliberately creating the beauty of strokes themselves or the beauty of stroke structure.
