In Song Dynasty, there were many literati who were famous for their calligraphy, such as Wen Tong, Wen Yanbo, Lin Bu, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Su Xun, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Zhang Shunmin, Cai Jing, Xue, Mi Youren, Ye Mengde, Lu You, Fan Chengda, Zhu, Wu Shuo, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Wen Tianxiang. Who gave the highest evaluation then and now?
The famous "Song Sijia" since Ming and Qing Dynasties-Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang-are naturally the most concerned, and Su Huangmi's calligraphy has its own characteristics:
1. Su Shi (1037-11) is from Meishan. He and his father, Su Xun, and younger brother, Su Zhe, are famous for their poems, and they are called "three sows". His calligraphy is deliberately innovative, and his strokes are round and rhythmic. Along the way from the "Two Kings", he absorbed the nutrition of Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Chu Suiliang, Xu Hao, Li Beihai and Yang Ningshi, and was deeply influenced by Ouyang Xiu. He wandered between Jin and Tang dynasties all his life, but he was able to "bring forth the old and bring forth the new without practicing the ancients".
Viewpoint: "I can't make a book with my heart, but I'm tired of asking for it";
Works: Huangzhou cold food post, regular script drunken pavilion, sky black cloud post, Dongting spring poem, Shu poem, Zhongshan Song old poem, wine love poem, etc.
2. Huang Tingjian (1045- 1 105), a Taoist priest in Fuweng No.1 Valley, was born in Xiushui, Jiangxi. Later people called him the Yellow Valley. Huang Tingjian's calligraphy is handsome and beautiful, and the book has implications beyond the pen. His works are good at hiding people's eyes and ears, paying attention to setbacks, and giving people the feeling of "leisurely" by "painting bamboo as a book". Huang Tingjian is the only "Song Sijia" who is also good at cursive, inheriting Xu and Su in the Tang Dynasty and enlightening Zhu Yunming and Wang Duo in the Ming Dynasty.
Representative works: Song Fengge, Poems of Flowers and Qi, All Sitting Posts, etc.
3. Mi Fei (1051-kloc-0/107), with a pseudonym, lived in Taiyuan, moved to Hubei, and then settled in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. Zhao, a doctor of calligraphy and painting, was called Guan, and was called Guan because of his madness. Mi Fei studied the brushwork of the ancients the most frequently, and his brushwork was exquisite, winning the brushwork of Wang Xianzhi. He tried to inherit the calligraphy tradition of the "two kings" and was able to enter the room. Original works, cursive script, official script, seal script and calligraphy can all be written, especially cursive script, which changes greatly, mainly in the side, showing a dynamic aesthetic feeling. He calls himself a "brush", which means that he uses a pen quickly and energetically.
Representative works: Shu Sutie, Yan Tie, etc.
4. Cai Xiang (10 12- 1067) is a native of Xianyou, Fujian. Bachelor of Science in Governing Duan Mingdian. At his age, he is seniority, which should be before Su, Huang and Mi. Cai Xiang's calligraphy studies of Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan are vigorous and magnificent. Su Dongpo said: "Mo Jun has a high talent, profound knowledge and endless changes, so it is the first in the DPRK."
Masterpiece: "Yan Zhenqing Confesses Himself"
In fact, Cai is not Cai Xiang, but Cai Jing.
Cai Jing's level is higher than Cai Xiang's, just because Cai Jing is a famous traitor, so later generations erased him and replaced him with Cai Cai Xiangjing's calligraphy. The first teachers, Cai Xiang and Xu Jihai, soon abandoned them and changed to Shen Chuanshi, but they rejected them, changed to Ou Yangxun and became the "two kings", learning from others and becoming a whole. His calligraphy style is charming, his words are vigorous, he is happy and calm, and he has a unique style.
Masterpieces: Poems in Caotang, Fu Jie Post and Gong Shi Post.
6. Of course, Song Huizong, the boss of Cai Jing, is also a conceited calligrapher. He advocates art collection and is the most famous imperial calligrapher in history. His calligraphy, which was studied by Xue Ji and Huang Tingjian in his early years, was very fine and smooth, and his style was changed to "fine gold style". Some couplets are like hairspring, close to calligraphy, ups and downs, elegant and unique.
Representative works: thin gold thousand-character writing, cursive thousand-character writing, cursive fan, etc. It can be said that it was many times higher than the later emperor Qianlong who wrote the most poems and inscriptions in history.
Among these calligraphers, Song Huizong has the highest status, and Su Shi, who was recognized by then and later generations, is mainly a writer. At that time, Miffy seemed to be the most admired. Su Shi also spoke highly of him when he was a child, and Mi Fei seems to be the most concerned by later calligraphers.
