The full name of "The Story of the Immortal Altar of Magu in Nancheng County, Fuzhou, Tang Dynasty" is the representative work of Yan Zhenqing's regular script.
The stele was erected in the sixth year of Dali of the Tang Dynasty (AD 771). It was later destroyed by lightning and lost. A photocopy of the original rubbing is available. The inscription on the stele is vigorous and simple, with straight bones and straight bones. The changes in line thickness tend to be gentle, and the strokes have few twists and turns. When using the pen, it has a "silkworm head and swallow tail", and many of them have the meaning of seal script. Due to the thick lines, its structure had to be expanded to all sides in order to leave a margin in the middle of the character to avoid congestion, and the writing method of external expansion was pushed to the extreme.
The monument was originally located in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, but was destroyed by fire in the Ming Dynasty. It is in regular script. According to legend, the cut and mounted version totals 901 words. Extended information
Large print, rubbings. The word diameter is about 5 centimeters. There are two rare copies in existence: one is a reprinted version by Zhu Hubin, King Yiwang of the Ming Dynasty, with strict calligraphy (hidden in the Palace Museum, Beijing); the other is a photocopy of Dai Xi's postscript of the Qing Dynasty (hidden in the Shanghai Museum). The stippling is clear and rarely diffuse.
Chinese subtitles, rubbings. The word diameter is nearly 2 cm. First seen in "Zhongyi Hall Tie" by Liu Yuangang of the Southern Song Dynasty, now in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. Historically, epigraphists' records have been written in large and small-character versions, but not in Chinese-character versions. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, no attention was paid to it. In the Qing Dynasty, there were many versions of Chinese calligraphy, but they are no longer enough to be seen.
Small print, rubbings. The word diameter is about 1 cm. There are 46 lines and 901 words. According to Zhang Yansheng's "Records of Rare Books on Tablets and Calligraphy", the calligraphy engravings from the Song Dynasty are not included in the small print edition. The "Tingyun Guan Tie" engraved in the Ming Dynasty began to be collected, and it is said that the Nancheng engraved version is the most valuable. The earliest rubbing is from the collection of Guo Ruoyu in Shanghai. The stone is complete and the calligraphy is clear. It is in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing.
