What was the character of Yang Weizhen, a calligrapher at the end of Yuan Dynasty?

Yang Weizhen (1296 ~ 1370) was born in Zhuji, Zhejiang. When I was young, my father built a building on Tieya Mountain, planted 10 thousand plants around the building, collected thousands of books, and passed food on his ladder with pulleys. Wei Zhen studied hard in middle school. He didn't go downstairs for five years because he was named after the Iron Cliff. In the fourth year of Taiding (1327), he was a scholar, and the official was Tiantai Yin, and he was changed to Qian Qing Salt Commander. In the future, the Senate will revise the history of Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties. Ouyang Xuan, CEO, read the 1000-word Debate on Orthodoxy and sighed: "After a hundred years, the public opinion is set here!" In the turmoil at the end of Yuan Dynasty, Wei Zhen took refuge in Fuchun Mountain and moved to Songjiang in his later years.

Yang Weiting's nature is straightforward and not worldly. Exquisite poetry, famous for a while, is called "Iron Cliff Body"; Good at playing iron flute, calling himself "iron flute Taoist"; Together with Lu, it is also called the "three outstanding men" at the end of Yuan Dynasty.

In Yuan Dynasty, Yang Weizhen was a calligrapher with unique personality charm. Judging from the source of his calligraphy teacher, it seems that he is no different from contemporary calligraphers. Regular script ruled the Jin and Tang Dynasties, especially Ouyang Tong and Chu Suiliang; Running grass as far away as France, Han, Jin, Zhang Zhi, finally took a completely opposite road to the current trend. Compared with Zhao's rigorous and law-abiding calligraphy, Yang's calligraphy is wild, eccentric, cold and simple; The former has the temperament of royalty, while the latter has the appearance of Ye Fu in the mountains. Analyzing the reasons, firstly, it has something to do with his lofty and maverick character, and secondly, it has something to do with his calligraphy thought. Yang Weizhen attaches great importance to the expression of "facial bone" and "temperament and tolerance", so although his calligraphy is developed on the basis of learning tradition, he strongly opposes conformism and does not think about change.
