Although Mi Fu's brushwork has the artistic characteristics of "attacking from all directions", he still has not escaped from the "two kings" brushwork system, but has only developed the brushwork of Jin people's calligraphy to the extreme. Only Mi Fu, who has superb calligraphy skills and the ability to control a brush, can "brush calligraphy" and produce unique artistic effects. Because Mi Fu took the writing style of "Two Kings" to an extreme, two phenomena appeared among later generations of calligraphy scholars. One is like his son Mi Youren and Wu Ju of the Southern Song Dynasty. "Mi does not melt", and they will be shrouded in the shadow of "rice" all their lives, unable to escape; the other is that many later scholars of rice blindly emphasized the "brush" and "pleasure" of Mi Fu's brushwork, which greatly damaged his brushwork. , getting further and further away from Jin people's brushwork. It can be said that the decline of calligraphy of the "Er Wang" style after the Northern Song Dynasty was closely related to the use of calligraphy brushes, and Mi Fu's "brush calligraphy" played a negative role. If you only see Mi Fu's "joyfulness" and ignore his "calm" writing characteristics, then the ancient spirit of the "two kings" will be "brushed away", and the charm of the Wei and Jin Dynasties will be "brushed" away, resulting in the Ming Dynasty In the Qing and Qing Dynasties, cursive writing was sluggish. It only had the appearance of "two kings" but lacked the inner temperament, which led to the overall decline of calligraphy. The rise of stele study in the Qianjia period was probably related to Mi Fu's use of "brush". The pen is not irrelevant. It can be said that Mi Fu is the artist who had the greatest influence on later calligraphy among the calligraphers of the Song Dynasty. Not only can we see a large number of copies and extensions of his works in the past dynasties from the "Complete Works", the total amount far exceeds that of the "Three Calligraphers of the Song Dynasty". "The total number of extant works, and his works have been imitated by many calligraphers in the past dynasties, making many accomplished calligraphers. The main ones include his son Mi Youren in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Chun and Wu Ju in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Sheng and Wang Tingyun in the Yuan and Jin Dynasties, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, Xu Wei, Dong Qichang and Fu Shan in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Wenzhi and Jingjiang Painting in the Qing Dynasty. Painter's calligraphy. Especially in contemporary times, because Mi Fu's calligraphy style shows refreshing and joyful aesthetic characteristics and has a strong artistic personality, which is in line with the aesthetic psychology of modern people, it has been favored by many calligraphy scholars and researchers. His calligraphy has been more widely disseminated and inherited.
