Zhao Meng was a famous calligrapher in ancient China and the founder of Zhao Ti. Zhao Meng claimed to have studied all the masters in ancient and modern times, which is not his exaggeration. Zhao Meng's calligraphy did inherit many advantages of predecessors, and learn from each other's strong points, which led to the emergence of Zhao Ti. Zhao Meng created his own calligraphy style after studying famous calligraphers in Jin and Tang Dynasties, especially Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. He is called Zhao Ti, and he is also known as the four masters of regular script with Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and Ou Yangxun. In addition, his running script is also very famous, and it is one of the four major running scripts in China. The other three are Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing and Su Dongpo, all of whom were born hundreds of years before Zhao Meng. The essence of their calligraphy was learned by Zhao Meng, the real character in Shining on You. Zhao Meng's calligraphy developed after middle age, because before middle age, he was imitating others. Zhao Meng was born in the Northern Song Dynasty. His ancestor was Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Meng's birth was an unfortunate beginning. When he was born, the Song Dynasty was not far from collapse. When Zhao Meng came of age, the Song Dynasty had perished and the Yuan Dynasty was established. After the Yuan Dynasty was founded, Zhao Meng lived in his hometown and studied calligraphy. Later, he was recommended to Kublai Khan, who praised his talent and appearance. Although Zhao Meng served in the court of the Yuan Dynasty for a period of time, he was quickly removed from office due to many contradictions within the Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Meng studied calligraphy while reading at home. With the passage of time, Zhao Meng's calligraphy has made great progress, while Zhao Meng is proficient in almost all calligraphy. At first, he didn't stick to his predecessors' calligraphy experience, but had his own ideas. Later, he created his own calligraphy font. He has many representative works, the most famous of which are Ode to Luoshen, Tao Te Ching, Four-body Thousand-character Essays and so on.
Zhao Meng is the founder of the four regular scripts and a famous calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty. His calligraphy art had a very important influence on the development of calligraphy in later generations. Zhao Meng's calligraphy has both form and spirit, and its artistic appreciation value is very high, so many people are keen on collecting his calligraphy works, and the price of calligraphy in Zhao Meng is also rising year by year. On the basis of 201/Nanjing classic spring auction of China's ancient paintings and calligraphy, after more than ten rounds of fierce bidding, the book "Chang Jing Qing Jing" was finally sold at the price of170,000. The cooperative work "Preface to Notes on Shangshu" with Yang was also sold at the price of150,000 yuan. On February 9, 20 12, 12, Zhao Meng's painting "Three Horses" and his regular script work "Chronicle of Tong Yuan" together sold for a sky-high price of 654.38+26 million RMB, which is the highest price of China's paintings and calligraphy works in the United States. It is said that the buyer is from China.
The price of Zhao Meng's calligraphy has been rising, especially his regular script works, which have been fired to sky-high prices. 20 13 calligraphy money was auctioned at the price of17.25 million. The auction price of ancient calligraphy has never been very high. It's good that a calligraphy work can be sold for about 5 million yuan, while the price of calligraphy in Zhao Meng is basically maintained at around10 million, and the number of calligraphy and painting works is as high as tens of millions. In 2008, Zhao Meng's painting Luan Ju Tu was sold for 54.42 million yuan. In recent years, ancient calligraphy and painting in China have been sold at sky-high prices, which shows that calligraphy works are gradually loved by collectors who are higher than the current collection market. In the past, the preservation technology was not very developed, so the painting and calligraphy market was relatively cold. With the development of science and technology, the preservation of calligraphy and painting is safer and more convenient. Zhao Meng's calligraphy is very artistic, so the price of calligraphy in Zhao Meng has gradually increased in recent years.
Zhao Meng Calligraphy in Yuan Dynasty is the calligraphy work of Zhao Meng, a famous calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty. It's calligraphy, not prose. This is Zhao Meng's running script. Wang Xizhi is Zhao Meng's first running script master. He inherited the advantages of Wang Xizhi's running script art, added his own feelings and formed his own things. Poem of Seclusion was written by Pan Yue, a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty. Pan Yue, also known as Pan An, is the famous handsome man Pan An. However, this handsome guy's career is completely opposite to his appearance, perhaps because he is so beautiful that he is envied by heaven. Because of his bad career, Pan Yue simply resigned and retired. When he decided to retire, he wrote this article "Seclusion". This "Idle Residence Fu" was written in despair after recalling my 30-year ups and downs career. The Fu of Idleness, written by later generations, is the most famous calligraphy work. Frankly speaking, it is because of Zhao Meng that Pan Yue's "Hermit Fu" was completed. Zhao Meng was very famous in the early Yuan Dynasty, and his calligraphy attainments can even be compared with that of the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi. So as soon as he wrote this book, he was sought after by many people. Writing "Hermit Fu" is actually expressing one's life ideal. Although Zhao Meng made outstanding achievements in calligraphy and painting at that time, his career was not smooth. First, they experienced the pain of national subjugation, and changed from aristocratic children to ordinary people. Later, although he was appreciated by Yuan Shizu, he still ran into a wall everywhere in officialdom. Therefore, it is precisely because they have similar life experiences that they want to copy Leisure Fu by hand, which leaves us with a very good calligraphy work, Yuan's Leisure Fu.
The correct name of Zhao Meng's Heart Sutra should be Zhao Meng's Heart Sutra, that is, Zhao Meng's handwritten running script Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, which was written by Zhao Meng. Its paper version was preserved by later generations and compiled into Heart Sutra, which is the essence of Zhao Meng's running script. Zhao Meng has made great achievements in painting and calligraphy. From the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra introduced here, we can see his important position in the history of calligraphy in China. This volume of Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra is Zhao Meng's masterpiece. It can write freely, smoothly and uniquely. Zhao Mengsheng was born in the Song Dynasty, and his enlightenment study was also in the Song Dynasty. But by the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the art of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty had declined, and calligraphy had already lost its vivid charm. Therefore, Zhao Meng has always had an ideal, that is, to change this situation, to give calligraphy a correct development path, to change the current calligraphy through the achievements of ancient calligraphy, and to promote the development of calligraphy art. Zhao Meng's Heart Sutra was produced under such circumstances. He wrote the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, which is not unique. Now this book is written for Zhong Feng, a monk in the Yuan Dynasty. It is nine years different from Meng, but Zhao is very respectful. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhist monks often wrote scriptures themselves or hired people to write scriptures as merits. However, all the scriptures are written in regular script, and Zhao Meng wrote Heart Sutra with lines, which is a precedent in the history of writing scriptures.
Zhao Meng's Heart Sutra is not only the pinnacle of Zhao Meng's calligraphy art, but also creates an era of writing classics with lines, breaking the tradition of the ancients and giving endless enlightenment to future generations.
