Known as the world's second-line calligraphy works are

Known as the second running script in the world, the calligraphy work is Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice to My Nephew".

Introduction to the manuscript of Sacrificing a Nephew;

"Sacrifice to a Nephew" (full name: Sacrifice to a Nephew and Praise to a Doctor) is a calligraphy work written by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (758). It is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

The manuscript of "Sacrificing My Nephew" is Yan Jiming's manuscript, which is a memorial to his nephew. * * * 23 lines, 234 words. This manuscript describes how Yan Gao Qing's father and son stood up and loyally opposed it during the Anshi Rebellion, so that "the father was trapped and the child died, and the nest turned upside down" brought justice into his heart. Throughout the pen, I feel like a tide, the calligraphy is magnificent, and the vertical pen is bold and unconstrained.

Wang Xizhi's Sacrifice to My Nephew, Preface to Lanting and Sushi's Huangzhou Cold Food Post in the Northern Song Dynasty are called "the three major running scripts in the world" and "the second running script in the world". Moreover, this manuscript was written in extreme grief and indignation, regardless of the clumsiness of pen and ink, so the words fluctuate with the calligrapher's mood, which is purely a natural expression of spirit and peacetime work. This is rare in the whole history of calligraphy, so "Sacrifice to a Nephew" is one of the original works with great historical and artistic value.

Art appreciation:

In terms of structure, The Draft for Sacrificing a Nephew broke the elegant style of dense structure and slightly long font since Jin and Tang Dynasties, and formed an open attitude, which was broad and fair.

First, it is wide and stretched, and it is tight outside and loose inside. Don't pick out many words, but cook a rotten meal, such as "old", "e", "thief", "disabled" and "baby". This is the typical place where Yan characters are put in and taken out.

Second, multi-lateral expansion, left and right opposite, opposite or in the same direction. Especially the opposite side is vertical, so that the traditional inner arc is opposite to the outer arc. Such as "Zhou Pu, Danyang, Founding, Drawing, Opening and Closing", make the font opening changeable. Proper density, complement each other. This is the innovation of Yan style calligraphy, and also the expression of Yan style's generous structure characteristics. Third, the momentum is awe-inspiring, but it contains strange risks.
