What are the classic inscriptions?
Postscript is the words written by calligraphers after poems written by others or themselves. For example, Lu You's Postscript Dongpo Qixi Poetry (that is, "When is the bright moon?" ): "In the past, when people wrote Qixi poems, it was inevitable that they would have the meaning of combing and borrowing. But Dongpo's article is actually the language of Xinghan. At the end of the song, people are scattered, feeling that the wind and rain are pressing, and the poet should ask for it. " Another example is Su Shi's poem "On Liu Zihou (Zongyuan)": "Poetry must be made for things, and the use of things should be new. Taking vulgarity as elegance and being curious about new things are the diseases of poetry. Liu Zihou's poems in his later years are very much like Yuanming (Tao Qian), and those who understand poetry are also sick. " Booksellers usually copy the poems of predecessors' sages or write their own poems to make a postscript or make a clear impression; Or words; Or interpret it; Or assess the impact; Or describe poetic theory. Although it is a few words, it is also intriguing. For example, there is no rain on the mountain road and the clothes are wet. Can we take "this poem can't be captured by people in the mountains" as the topic, or from the point of view that the poet Wang Wei is also a painter, we can take "Mo (Wang) as the head of landscape painting in the South School, and I wonder if this scene can be painted"? (See the essay "Talking about the Content of Inscriptions" in the 6th issue of Calligraphy, 1987. According to the method of posting, some people call those works with poetry as the postscript (that is, with poetry as the postscript). For example, Zhang Jue's Poem of Song Fengting in the Valley in the Yuan Dynasty said: "The wind is loose on the pavilion, and the master's chest is clear. Poetry and pens at that time are still there today, and the strokes and volumes are more eye-catching. " This kind of inscription, also called "poem title", is no different from the poems in books, but expresses the feelings or comments of the inscription after the poems and essays written by others or themselves. For some calligraphy works that write poems, because calligraphers appreciate both their pen and ink and their poems, such inscriptions are often double-commented, and because poets and calligraphers look at the works of poets and calligraphers, they deliberately study them. The so-called "there is depth but no shallow words". For example, on the back of Su Shi's book Huangzhou Cold Food Poems, there is an inscription by Huang Gu: "Dongpo's poems are like Li Taibai, for fear that Taibai is everywhere. This book was written by Yan, Yang and Li Xitai. If you want Dongpo back, it may not be as good as this. Speaking of Dongpo or seeing this book, Ying Xiao Wo is honored where there is no Buddha. " This postscript is a double comment on Su Shi's poetry and calligraphy, which is vivid and meaningful, and can't be reached by most teachers. Chen Jiru's "Shi Yang Carved White Stone Bridge Manuscript and Su Huang's Inscription and Postscript in Ming Dynasty" said: "Inscription and Postscript is also the author's shorthand ... The most wonderful thing is the inscription and postscript", which is true. Su Shi's poems and postscript are the most scholarly, and some of them are famous, such as farewell to me for a long time, zhi zhi, Ming yin and Li Bai's Er.
