At first, The Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew was not written as a calligraphy work. Because of the author's extreme grief and indignation, his mood has been difficult to calm down, full of mistakes and sometimes discredited. But it is precisely because of this that the word is dignified and unsmiling, with a round and magnificent posture, and it is written by a pure god, which is naturally wonderful. The whole process is ups and downs, sometimes depression and pain, tears streaming down her face; Sometimes it is very painful to hide and suppress.
It is a model of sincere, honest, frank and passionate writing, regardless of work, unrestrained and arbitrary. With distinctive personality and unique form, it is a typical example of calligraphy creation in expressing ambition, heart and meaning. The emotional intensity contained in the work shakes every viewer, leaving him too busy to take care of the superficial effect of the form. This is a typical structure of natural beauty.
Extended data
The manuscript of Sacrificing a Nephew has three characteristics:
First, round and vigorous brushstrokes. That is to say, the pen is mainly round, and the front is hidden. This manuscript is thick and simple, such as Huang Lu; Fine strength and concise bones and muscles, such as the golden wind and autumn eagle; At the turning point, is it simple, beautiful and natural, or is it difficult to kill the pen? Continuous place, the pen is full of meaning, dripping freely, like a river running, thousands of miles away.
Second, open a natural structure. Contrary to the dense, slender, elegant and charming style of the "two kings", this manuscript has become a generous, natural and elegant structure, with stippling opposite to the arc, looking around and echoing, and gathering form with spirit. Between the lines, the spirit changes with the situation, regardless of the work, unintentionally, especially good, circle point alteration can be seen everywhere. Lively and changeable in the brushwork without shirt and shoes.
We can strongly feel the ups and downs of Yan Zhenqing's feelings in "Brave and Frank". Write slowly and quickly, sometimes disgusting and sometimes slow, and want to stop. Words are connected with each other, which seems to be broken, or clever, or the pen is broken; It can be described as ups and downs and interesting. The assembly area is not crowded, and the spacious place is not empty. It can be said that it is sparse and impenetrable, and it has won the interest of "black hours and white hours".
Between the lines, whether it is left or right, it is opposite, or the heart is stuck, or it suddenly breaks, and the truth is swaying. What is particularly exciting is that the last few lines, from line to grass, are swift and unrestrained, pouring down, with the majestic momentum of rivers bursting their banks. In line 18, "alas, alas", the first three words come out one after another, indicating the extreme grief.
From line 19 to the end of the article, it seems to be another storm, and its anger is hard to suppress and its feelings are hard to sue. When writing the word "keep righteousness", I wrote and changed, changed and wrote, as if I were caught in an emotional whirlwind. Long song was crying, weeping for blood, until the last sentence "Alas, alas, it's still delicious", which shocked people and soul.
Third, thirsty and vivid ink method. This manuscript is thirsty for many pens, and the ink is thick and dry. This is related to the tools used in Yan Zhenqing's writing (short and bald bristles or double brush, thick ink, hemp paper). The artistic effect of this ink painting is in good agreement with Yan Zhenqing's grief and indignation at that time. In the original text of this post, all the places where you are thirsty and holding a pen are vivid, which can make people see the process of writing a pen and the wonderful change of the nib, which is of great benefit to learning cursive.
This work was not originally written as a calligraphy work. Due to extreme grief and indignation, it is difficult to calm down, and there are many mistakes and mistakes, which are sometimes smeared. But it is precisely because of this that the word is dignified and unsmiling, full of charm, round and magnificent brushwork and magnificent posture.
The whole process is ups and downs, sometimes depression and pain, tears streaming down her face; Sometimes it is a sad and touching work. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Jingyan wrote an inscription saying, "I thought it was better to write than to draw up. Coverage is an official work, although there is no deadline, it is always a request; Letters are quite indulgent when they are on a whim; Moreover, the drafting was unintentional, and it was his palm that was forgotten. It's great to see it here. "
Yuan Xian Yu Shu said in his book postscript: "The manuscript of Ji Ming playing nephews written by Yan Zhenqing, a master of the Tang Dynasty, is the second in the world." This is recognized by calligraphers of all ages. The original is now in the Palace Museum in Taiwan.
