Reading books in the Tang Dynasty is also "seeing words like faces".
It is really interesting to see the interesting stories of the ancients and appreciate the beauty of calligraphy.
We often say that "words are like people" is nothing more than "books draw for the heart" in the book. Calligraphy does not deceive people, but the essence is the most obvious.
"When Calligraphy Crossing the Tang Dynasty" In the following Tang Dynasty calligraphy story, you will experience a real Tang Dynasty, and calligraphy will not deceive people, which is true.
0 1 Tang Taizong's wonderful capture of Lanting Preface
Li Shimin, the founder of Zhenguan rule in the early Tang Dynasty, loved calligraphy all his life, studied calligraphy and attached importance to it, especially the words of Wang Xizhi, a sage of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which were disdained by other calligraphers, even those of Wang Xianzhi.
Emperor idolize is full of domineering, which is beyond the reach of today's groupies. His collection of authentic Wang Xizhi's calligraphy posts alone reached more than 3,000 pieces, but he lacked the world's first running script "Preface to Lanting".
So after many inquiries, he learned that the preface to Lanting Collection was in the hands of the old monk.
Emperor Taizong sent a letter arguing about the whereabouts of the Preface to Lanting, and the old monk played dumb with him.
When the Tao is one foot high, the magic is ten feet high, so Emperor Taizong sent Xiao Yi to be undercover, waiting for an opportunity to outsmart him.
Later, Xiao Yi became a down-and-out scholar and cheated the trust of the old monk. When the old monk took out Preface to Lanting and Xiao Yi's * * * reward, Xiao Yi immediately took out the imperial edict and left with Preface to Lanting.
Looking at the old monk again, he fainted to the ground with anger and was unconscious.
02 calligraphy gifted scholar Yu Shinan
Yu Shinan is an all-round calligrapher, whose calligraphy, lines and strokes have reached the level of a master. As the saying goes, "Books draw for the heart", and his calligraphy is the same as his personality-there is a gentleman's wind in his bones. He is gentle and gentle, just as his calligraphy is peaceful and introverted, just like a "gentleman's concealed weapon".
Yu Shinan's calligraphy emphasizes mood. When writing, he should be calm, free from distractions and pay attention to natural law.
Therefore, he also has his own original "writing massage to sleep", that is, before going to bed every night, he practices writing with his fingers until he falls asleep. It can be seen that calligraphy in Shinan has become a way of spiritual massage, a way of cultivating the mind and nourishing the nature.
03 Monkey Face Hedgehog Heart-Ou Yangxun
Ou Yangxun, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, is also known as the Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty with his contemporaries Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi, but his appearance is often used as a joke.
On one occasion, Emperor Taizong gave a banquet to entertain his ministers. In order to enliven the atmosphere, he invited them to sing poems in pairs and have fun with each other.
Sun Chang mowgli bear the brunt, sing a way:
"Shrug your shoulders and bury your shoulders." Who taught Green to draw this ape? "
This is mocking Ou Yangxun for being as thin, ugly and cool as an ape.
Ou Yangxun deals with a man as he deals with you, right?
"Those who dare not go back (warm variants) are afraid of cold bellies. Just because of my heart (tuning, pigsty, toilet), I am surrounded. "
"If people don't commit crimes against me, I won't commit crimes." Ou Yangxun countered Sun Chang Wuji with a big round face at four happy parties.
Although Ou Yangxun is ugly, his handwriting is not ugly.
Yang Xiong, a thinker in the Western Han Dynasty, said: "Books are also painted with heart."
Calligraphy is a portrayal of a person's mind. Ou Yangxun is like a hedgehog, and his calligraphy is as sharp as a sword.
"Reading words like a face" is the most visible temperament and character contained in a person's bones. Travel through history, face to face with the ancients, get to know them and taste their nature. This is the fun of the book.
