Appreciation of Zhao's couplet calligraphy in Qing Dynasty

Appreciation of Zhao's couplet calligraphy in Qing Dynasty

Zhao Shijun? ~ 1927), Zi Bo,No. Qi Zhai, from Nanfeng, Jiangxi. He is the emperor, Chen Gaozu, who paid tribute in Guangxu 1 1 and served as the cabinet secretary. He served as the magistrate of Jinan for 2 years and worked in the Qing History Museum for 3 years to compile a clear history draft. He is good at calligraphy. He is a beginner of Zhong You and Wang Xizhi, and a successor of Chu Suiliang. His handwriting is a bit confusing. "Seeing this book, I doubt that Henan (Chu Suiliang) is still alive." For more than 30 years, I have always loved the appreciation of stone carvings, and those who can evaluate the ancient stone carvings printed by bookstores are valued by people at that time. People seeking books and inscriptions from all directions are in an endless stream, and their reputation is far-reaching. They are also known as epigraphy masters with Weng Fanggang. In the Qing dynasty, he lived in a humble position, unmoved by the times, and not trapped by officialdom and popular secular pavilions, which showed his book style and personality independence. Unfortunately, at that time, the calligraphy world advocated the North Monument, so its achievements were rarely praised, and the history and theory of calligraphy since the late Qing Dynasty were rarely mentioned. This regular script couplet, "Hongfei mirror lettering prolongs life, Baofeng writes almanac" (pictured), is obviously taken from Chu Suiliang's preface to the Wild Goose Pagoda. The font is delicate, but the strokes are as strong as silk, showing no weakness. The words "Wen", "Pi" and "Grant" in the bottom couplet are long and changeable, which shows that their calligraphy skills are thick. As can be seen from the signature, although it is a gift, it does not mean to deal with it. And it's obviously sincere.
