Appreciation of Kong Shizhongtie’s works

In calligraphy works, if black and white can be separated and used properly, it can be bright and airy, and the areas without ink can also become a painting. Wang Xizhi's ruler-slip works have neither large, dense black dots nor large empty spaces. They are always a mixture of reality and reality, evenly spaced and dense. There is movement in the stillness, but not much; there is stillness in the movement. But it is quiet but not stiff, soothing, fresh and elegant. It is the most beautiful form of cloth. Qingda Chongguang's "Shu Raf" divides the white space into two categories: "The whiteness of Kuangkuo means the hand cloth is even; the scattered white means the eye cloth is even."

The whiteness of Kuangkuo is like "Ping'an Tie" The words "Dang, Fu, Xi" and the "口" in the combination of "Lai" in "He Ru Tie" create a larger space, which contrasts with other heavy strokes. The characters "Poison, Shen, Xin, Zhi" in "Sang Luan Tie" are all white in outline, as if they are turned around like a compass, forming a unique realm.

The scattered white words are like the words "Baibai" and "Send for Discussion" in "Er Xie Tie", the word "ask" in "Kong Shizhong Tie", and the words "What to say" in "Sang Luan Tie", Scattered white has no complete outline, so the arrangement of black and white can be uneven and even, like the stillness of the night, the swaying of the candle in the wind, which is elusive. In the blank space between "Frequent Misfortune Tie" and "Confucius Shizhong Tie", there are three places of Zhu Wen's imperial seal "Yanli Edict", which is the same as "Sangluan Tie". Japan's "China Calligraphy Collection" says: "In the past, the Queen of our country, Guangming, presented the legacy of Emperor Shomu to the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple and hid it in Shosoin. In the eleventh year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, there were many rubbings of Jin Wang Xizhi's books. Tianying, Between Yanli and Hongren, they were gradually restored to the imperial palace. Most of them have been lost, and only fragments of them are preserved. The place where the seal is attached is the seal of Yanli Imperial Palace. . ”

“Yanli Edict” is the “Seal of Yanli Imperial Palace”. Enryaku is the reign name of Emperor Kanmu of Japan, whose first year was 782 AD. Japanese scholars have researched and compiled the "Kong Shizhong Tie" and "Sanglun Tie", which are recorded in the "Todaiji Temple Offering Account". This "Offering Account" is an account of the items that the empress offered to the Buddha after the death of Emperor Shomu of Japan. Emperor Shomu died in 729 AD. "Frequent Misfortune Notes" appeared in an ancient bookstore in Ueno, Tokyo during the Meiji era. It was later owned by Okada Nobuyuki (1825-1885) and his son Okada Masayuki, and then passed to the hands of Okada Masayuki's son Okada Akira in 1927. Acquired by Marquis Maeda. In 1941, the hand scroll was mounted and made into a scroll.

The Japanese Maeda Ikutoku Association, which collects "Frequent Misfortunes", is located in Meguro District, Tokyo, Japan. It is also known as the Zunjingaku Library. It mainly collects ancient documents and ancient arts and crafts from China and Japan. .
