Very diligent, very diligent. However, with the changes of the times, the study of steles is gradually declining, and the study of steles is in the ascendant, and the historical trend is unstoppable. As Kang Youwei said: "The prosperity of stele study depends on the weakness of later study and the prosperity of stone. Jingxian Bao's wealth is precise and sensitive, and when the golden stone spreads white, it is unique in Ao Yun. The book "On Wu An" written by Da Qi's Secret Collection shows new monuments and announces brushwork, so this research is in full swing. Today, in Yuxian and Tong Tong, the study of steles has been widely circulated, and Wei Ti has been written by the son of three feet and the society of ten rooms, which is still successful. " Zhao is in this situation at this time. With his character, he will never fall behind. With his talent, he will surely become the trend leader of the times.
After avoiding Wenzhou, Zhao took time to read On Wu An, and was deeply impressed by Bao's theory. In Zhang An's essays, we can see his love for the ancient carvings of the Six Dynasties: "The beauty of the ancient carvings of the Six Dynasties lies in their endurance. If you meet it suddenly, you will feel frightened, but smart people will listen. After staring for a long time, I saw a wave falling together, all of which fell from the sky and could not be easily moved. Be sure to write down the scale, and you will know that there is no place to start. I have never read the hardships here, and I am even more puzzled. " Another cloud said, "Wu An Bao Shenbo said that he had seen the rubbings of Painting Praise and Luo Shen Fu by Mr. Dongfang in the Southern Tang Dynasty, both of which belonged to Han Li. But the book of the two kings handed down in modern times can be known. Re-emphasizing that the two kings began with Emperor Taizong. Today, the tablet of Emperor Taizong's imperial book exists, and there is no difference in printing the books of the two kings in the world. It is said that Tang Taizong's book is the book of two kings. You know, on that day, Emperor Taizong emphasized the two kings, and the ministers Dai Taizong and Mo Le became a banquet. Therefore, calligraphers who have been regarded as ancestors for hundreds of years first lost their true colors. Then 80 million eyes were narrowed by this dust, which is very regrettable. If you dare not export this theory for thousands of years, tell me about it. Ruan Wenda said that books are mainly from the Tang dynasty, and the books of the two kings are not expensive, which is different from the rest. "It is not satisfied with this book, nor with the two kings. As a result, he began a turning point in learning calligraphy and gradually parted ways with the two kings system. After he went to Beijing, he got together with Shen, Hu Gambo, Wei and others. They are all addicted to epigraphy. At that time, he was editing the Record of Visiting Monuments around the World and collected a large number of ancient prints, especially the Zheng Wengong Monument, which was his favorite. About thirty-five years old, I went back and forth to Liulichang every day for the rest of my life to enjoy the wonders and analyze the doubts.
