Appreciating Mr. Qi Gong's calligraphy works, I always associate him with his profound research on rubbings, because his research on rubbings is inextricably linked with his achievements in calligraphy art. Rubbings research is a science that rose in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and now it has opened up a new realm with the continuous exploration of underground ink. He is one of the pioneers of this garden. This knowledge can be divided into two categories: one is to study historical materials, supplement history with inscriptions, or collate essays; The second is to appreciate and study his calligraphy art. Mr. Qi Gong is good at both, and he is better at the latter. He combined the two, and his method broke through the barriers of predecessors. "Buying bamboo slips and pearls is different, and rubbings are mostly calligraphers. What's the use of rushing away? I saw several collectors chanting. " He wrote this poem because many connoisseurs in the past paid attention to the calligraphy of inscriptions, but often turned a blind eye to the words in them. Famous artists such as Weng Fanggang and Ye all have this defect. He never misses the content of his prose. Because of this, he refuted the "Cao E Monument" that has always been conclusive. Therefore, the so-called "Cao E tablet" written by Wang Xizhi in small letters no longer exists. What's more, Cai Yong's book Dan.
Among Mr. Qi Gong's calligraphy theory works, I like his metaphors and quips best. He has unique views on the art of calligraphy and many problems in the history of calligraphy, which is his decades of experience in calligraphy practice and research. Especially self-annotation, Wen Juan's escape, and his opinions. I have some long-standing problems myself, and after reading them, I feel solved and suddenly enlightened. For example, the textual research of Ode to the Bird originated from the dedication of Kaiyuan Hanlin; In the face of Japanese Fujimoto's book "Le Yi Lun", it proves Wang Xizhi's strong writing style; Identify Zhang Xu's book Geng Xin's "Not Empty Zuo Ci" as the pen of Dazhong Xiangfu after the Song Dynasty; On the True Features of Suo Jing's Calligraphy in Ge Tie from the Remnants of Jin People. These are all cases in the history of calligraphy, and the arguments are solid enough to be convincing. In addition, for example, Cai Xiang and Zhu Yunming's calligraphy did not become their own paragraphs; The calligraphy of Liu Gongquan and Huang Tingjian is perfect, and the words are bound together. Among them, it is very incisive to distinguish the characteristics of famous calligraphers in past dynasties, the style and style of calligraphy in each era, and even the origin of calligraphy and the reasons for its changes. So ask an expert.
