Song Sijia is one of the four great calligraphers: Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang, or Su Huang Camouflage for short. His calligraphy is very wonderful, which is the representative of Shangyi calligraphy in Song Dynasty.
Song people are very creative. When they established People's Republic of China (PRC), the vast Tang Dynasty was a peak in front of them. How to surpass the Tang Dynasty, they took a refined and restrained road. Unlike the broadness and boldness of the Tang people, they are self-contained, exquisite and carefree. They developed the folk form of ci beyond the Tang poetry, improved the character of ci, and became another literary form of expressing characters, which is as famous as the Tang poetry. Compared with Yu's Tri-colored Tang Dynasty, the porcelain in Song Dynasty is quiet and elegant. The five famous kilns of Jun porcelain in Geding Kiln are still so perfect, showing tranquility and serenity. The calligraphy and painting books of the Song Dynasty are all fine works now. Up to now, the fonts of our printed matter are all created by Song people, creating a cultural peak.
Calligraphy in Song Dynasty is different from that in Tang Dynasty, but it is still elegant. We look at the calligraphy of Tang people, such as Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. Their writing is rigorous and their statutes are rigorous. They look like generals sitting on their backs, showing generosity, composure and calmness, just like their times. Throughout the Song Dynasty's calligraphy, Song Sijia's calligraphy is naive and full of pen feelings and ink interests everywhere. You can imagine, under the sunny window, drinking a cup of tea and reading two books, suddenly remembering, feeling happy, spreading paper and researching ink, comfortable and casual. Not only four, but also Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Lu You, Fan Chengda and Zhu. Look at their words, as if they are smiling at you. Song people's art is human art, showing kindness.
Sue, Huang, Mi Zhu and Cai Yong lived in the same era, but Cai Xiang was a little older. They all live in the same era. Su Shi died in11kloc-0/,Mi Fei died in 1 107, and Huang Tingjian died in 1 105. They lived in the same period as each other. This kind of appreciation is the envy of future generations. Su Shi said: Reciting my Bird ... transcends the word of God. When can I see it wash away the poison? Now I really see it! ..... Hate for twenty years, and follow Bird endlessly. Su Shi's evaluation of Cai Xiang's Ci: Cai's calligraphy is unique, with high talent, deep accumulation, endless transformation, so it is the first in the dynasty. Huang Tingjian attached great importance to Su Shi's calligraphy, saying more than once: Taoist Dongpo ... The understanding of good calligraphy in this dynasty should be the first. Su Zizhan's calligraphy is very beautiful. Although he uses too much ink and rhymes, he is the best in the world today. He also said wryly: I didn't learn enough books ... now I have learned more than my children's foresight, so I didn't choose a skill. From these words, we can't see the trace that scholars despise each other, but we can see that they are blind dates. Scholars in Song Dynasty seem to appreciate each other: Ouyang Xiu's exoneration of Su Shi, Wang Anshi's generosity, Su Shi's appreciation of later generations, Lu You's appreciation of Xin Qiji, and Zhu Yu's academic debate are all a kind of gentleman's feelings. This seems to be a characteristic of Song Wenhua: tolerance.
Twenty years after Mi Fei's death, Jin people invaded the capital of song dynasty, and a large number of clothes, utensils, ritual vessels, armymen, bronze statues, lost prints, a large number of books, maps and various craftsmen were taken away together, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. The culture of Song Dynasty came to an end.
In the past two years, three Song Dynasty cultural relics have been auctioned at sky-high prices: Song Huizong's Sketch of Rare Birds, Mi Fei's calligraphy and Mi Fei's Yan. Among them, in the auction of Yan 65438 on February 6, 29.99 million yuan was nationalized by directional auction. It is said that free bidding will exceed 50 million.
