Comments on the Liquan Monument of Jiuchenggong in Past Dynasties
Zhu in Song Dynasty: But when I was young, my brushwork was still weak. Today, there is a monument to Xilin Dojo on Lushan Mountain. And late strength, physical strength, kit kat, cover is learned. The same is true of Jiucheng Palace Monument and Wendaya Tomb Inscription. ("Continued Book Break")
Yuan Zhao Mengfu: He Qing Jian Jian, One Man in Ancient and Modern Times.
Chen Ming Ji Ru: This post is as deep as a mountain. It is thin, hard and cold, but it is full of air. It can make the king bend his knees, and he can't drive it unless he carves it.
Han: "Books are the first". ("graphite carving")
Guo Shangxian in Qing Dynasty: the spring of rites is bright, elegant and simple, and the French side is round. This is a division of Han Dynasty and a combination of Wei and Jin Dynasties. No one can compete with Bo Shi. ("Building Pavilion Ming")
Zhou Xinglian in Qing Dynasty: The word has nine palaces and the branches are white. You Jun's Huang Tingjing, Le Yi Lun, Ouyang's Li Quan Ming and Qian are the most accurate among the nine palaces. Either the bamboo shoots are sewn, the four sides are full, there is no shortage in the words, and there is no source outside the words. It has always been straight and there is nothing wrong with it. (My humble opinion on Linchi)
The inscription of liquan in Jiucheng Palace was written by Wei Zhi and Ou Yangxun. Ou Yangxun was one of the "four famous calligraphers" in the early Tang Dynasty, because of his "eight-body brushwork, vigorous brushwork, excellent seal style, flying white crown, as fierce as the ancients, like dragon and snake fighting, light cloud cage, whirlwind thunder, wonderful." Known as the crown of calligraphy.
Jiuchenggong Liquan Monument was erected in the sixth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 632). The inscription on Liquan in Jiucheng Palace has six characters, 24 lines and 49 words. The monument body and the monument head are connected as a whole, and six dragons are wrapped around the monument head. On the front, there are six characters in the official script "Jiuchenggong Liquan inscription", and the base has been damaged.
The book review in the Tang Dynasty said: "Ou Yangxun's calligraphy looks sharp and dangerous, so it can be seen that if the grass surprises him, the clouds thunder, like a king kong peeping at the eye and a giant hand punching.". In his later years, his calligraphy was even more refined, to the point where his brushwork was skillful and his posture was precise and elegant, while people rose from the butte and were cut into four sides. His handwriting is dignified and neat, but not dull, square and muddy, but not cramped; Strict tolerance, dignified and calm; The simplicity and ambiguity in Gao Jian, the softness and charm in the founder and the neatness in the turning point reveal the danger and strong interest in the grace and generosity.
"Jiuchenggong Liquan Monument" uses a neat brush, and you can see the danger in the square. The arrangement of calligraphy and painting is compact and symmetrical, and the shelves are open and steady. Its shape is slender, and the pen is stable in danger, especially when it is closed at the end of the pen, the end of the pen will be lifted steadily. The inscription is elegant and simple as a whole, and the statutes are rigorous. Each stroke has become a model for future generations. It is Ou Yangxun's masterpiece in his later years, so later generations often use it as a model for learning regular script. Zhao Mengfu said, "He Qing practiced sword, one man in ancient and modern times.". Chen Ming Jiru once commented: "This outpost is deep in the mountains and forests, thin, hard and cold, but full of air, which can make the king bend his knees. It is impossible for him to drive." The graphite engraving of Zhao Han in Ming Dynasty called this tablet "the first official book". Li Quanming of Jiuchenggong enjoys the reputation of "the ultimate rule of regular script" and is regarded as a model of "European style" by calligraphers of all ages.
