Li Yu's calligraphy was in its prime at that time. Although many original works have been lost after years of baptism, Li Yu's calligraphy thoughts have been passed down to later generations. In Shu Shu, Li Yu recorded in detail the "dialing method" proposed by predecessors:
There used to be a seven-character method called stirrup dialing. Self-defense woman united Zhong and Wang, and taught Ou, Yan, Chu and Lu. And now. However, the world knows little about it. I'm glad to be able to teach alone because of my husband. The so-called practitioners of Buddhism also push, swear, hook, uncover, resist, refuse, guide and send.
Li Yu developed the stirrup method on the basis of predecessors, adding four words: refusal, guidance and delivery, which can be summed up as eight words. In addition, the Chronicle of Xuanhe once mentioned:
Li Yu, a pseudo-queen of Jiangnan, emphasizes the importance of words, early wisdom, cautious temperament and is good at painting and calligraphy. Big characters, not pens, but books can be satisfied, and the world is called books. After the joy, he trembled and looked like Jin Cuodao. I especially like to write running script. The pen is thin and hard, but the wind overflows.
But it is extremely unattractive, such as poor people, sour and cold scholars, quail coats and kites, and small wealth. If, at the beginning of the era, my ancestors revealed that the Kuibi Wall in Han Yun returned to the world, those who stole from Fangxian County would die and be no longer brave, so this is seen in painters and painters. Back in this dynasty, my artistic ancestors said, "Although I have literature, I am only a bachelor of Hanlin." It is a gentleman who knows whether the pen is vertical or not, a master of talent, and geometry!
Brief introduction of the poet:
Li Yu, formerly known as Zi, the sixth son of Jing, succeeded to the throne in 96 1 year. He is known as the Queen of Southern Tang Dynasty in history. 1975, Song Caobin broke Jinling, surrendered to the Song Dynasty, disobeyed orders, and changed his country name to Longxi County Duke. Taiping rejuvenating the country died in July of three years. According to the memoirs of the Song Dynasty, beggars' gangs were poisoned by morning medicine. Yushan is a poet with many works, but he is already bohemian. Later generations only compiled dozens of poems.
The third monarch of Southern Tang Dynasty was called Li Houzhu in history. He is good at calligraphy, painting, melody, poetry and writing, especially at words. The content can be mainly divided into two categories: the first category was written before the Song Dynasty, which mainly reflected the palace life and the love between men and women, and the subject matter was narrow; The second category is that after the Song Dynasty, Li Yu wrote with the grief of national subjugation and his own feelings. The achievements of his works in this period far exceeded those in the previous period, which can be described as "masterpieces".
Famous works such as Young Beauty, Langtaosha and Huihuan were all made at this time. Most of the ci works in this period are based on sadness, mainly describing the scene of dreaming back through the barrier and expressing infinite nostalgia for the past. So some people say: Li Yu is not a good emperor, but a good poet. Li Yu occupies an important position in the history of China's Ci, and is known as the "Emperor of Ci", which has a great influence on later generations.
He inherited the tradition of Huajian poets since the late Tang Dynasty, but through the concrete and sensible personality image, he reflected some universal artistic conception in real life, promoted the creation of Ci, and expanded the field of expression of Ci. Li Yuwen is rich in writing, poetry, books and painting. His ci poems are mainly included in two major ci poems in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
