I've been buried in the scriptures for days, and I can't pull them out. The last article is "amazing, look at what outstanding calligraphy those students have written?" I mentioned the classic Ling Fei Classic. The following is the ink version of Forty-three Lines of Ling Fei, which has only nine pages, so I will simply post it in this article.

There has always been an argument about the author of Ling Fei Jing. In fact, it may really be written by anonymous people, because we know that there are too many anonymous works in the classics. However, since ancient times, historians or connoisseurs have a common problem. They always feel a little sorry for calligraphy and painting without money, and always want to give it an author before giving up. The practice is also very interesting, which is nothing more than signing outside the volume, or pasting after the volume, and so on. , mandatory specification. Others do too much, so simply add fake money to the paper.

In Yuan Dynasty, Jue Yuan (1) recognized Zhong Shaojing as the author of Ling Fei Jing, and this view was always used in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang also confirmed this, so Jing and Zhong Shaojing have always been linked.

So who is this Zhong Shaojing? We checked Baidu and got the following information:
It is said that Zhong Shaojing, known as "Jason Chung", is a book fan and collector. He personally collected hundreds of original works by famous artists. There are hundreds of original works by Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and Chu Suiliang in the family library, while Zhong Shaojing's calligraphy is studied by Xue Ji, and his brushwork is natural and graceful.

Mi Fei in Song Dynasty called Zhong Shaojing's calligraphy "vigorous brushwork" in Book History. And Dong Qichang is based on "Shao Jing brushwork, hiding the front in the wrist, and getting a child to worship the marrow. Wen's comments on "true ancestors" reveal a truth, that is, Zhao Mengfu also learned lower case letters from there.
With such background, hobbies and calligraphy skills, putting the author of Ling Fei Jing on his head seems to have a home, and the world recognizes it, so there is nothing to say.
It happened that some people still refused to admit that Ling Fei Jing was the handwriting of Princess Yu Zhen in the Tang Dynasty. Some people even say that it was written by Zhao Mengfu in Yuan Dynasty. However, today's academic circles generally tend to think that Ling Fei Jing was written for the study of Confucian classics in the Tang Dynasty.
Ling Fei Jing, also known as Liu Jia Ling Fei Jing, was originally Lingdao Jing, which mainly expounded the thinking method. Later generations used it as a model for learning lowercase letters.

The Ling Fei Classic we see now mainly includes prints and ink paintings. There are two kinds of engraving, Bohai edition and Wang Yunben. It was not until later that Yingying in the Art Garden published a photocopy of this ink, which caused a sensation in academic circles, and the world had the opportunity to appreciate the Ling Fei Classic with more delicate, round, elegant and lovely ink.
Speaking of this ink book, the story of that period is very meaningful. Listen to me slowly:
According to records, the ink of Beijing entered the palace in the Song Dynasty, but it fell into the hands of Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty. After that, Dong mortgaged the ink book to the Chen family in Haining, resulting in one of the engravings, Bohai Book, which means that the Bohai Book was engraved by the Chen family. Later, Dong redeemed Moshu. But this exchange happened after 16, and Chen Jiaren tampered with it and took 43 lines from it. Interestingly, after this ink book returned to Dong Qichang's hand, it was transferred out by Dong and then disappeared.

Mr. Qi Gong once wrote an article "Remember the Forty-three Lines" and told some wonderful stories afterwards.
These 43 lines were extracted from Ling Fei Jing and later carved into Looking at the Cloud Map. This is in Jiaqing, Jiashan Xie got a 43-line deduction from the Chen family and carved it into "Looking at the Cloud Map". Because Ben pays attention to the ups and downs of strokes at this time and is slightly fatter than Bo Hai Ben, it is easy for people who have read Dunhuang scriptures to think that Wang Yunben is more realistic than Bo Hai Ben.

In other words, these 43 meridians were first passed down to the descendants of the Chen family, and then passed down. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was purchased by Weng Tonghe's father Weng Xincun, and it had been in Weng's family for three generations. When it finally arrived in Weng Wang E (3), Mr. Wang E was entrusted to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for preservation because of the war, and 2/kloc-0 was officially transferred to the Metropolitan Museum at the beginning of the century because of its advanced age. The remaining 43 lines of "Ling Fei Jing" have also been converted from the original scrolls into album pages, with a total of 43 lines. There are three pages of Dong Qichang's letter to Sui Chen, and some inscriptions by Chen Jia and Weng Jia.

1987, Mr Weng of the United States published the original 43 lines of Ling Fei Jing in Yi Yuanying (4) No.34 (1987 65438+ 10), which made the world see the true contents of the Ling Fei Jing in ink. In the words of Mr. Qi Gong, "Only when I really saw Lushan Mountain did I really see the brushwork and brushwork of the Tang Dynasty, and I realized that Bohai Sea and Wangyun were the same. In particular, the characteristics of Mo Fei are far from what stone rubbings can show. "
Looking back, when Dong Qichang mortgaged Beijing to the Chen family, the Chen family extracted 43 lines. Although it was a disgraceful move, it indirectly "saved" Beijing and let us see the real ink version of Beijing.
Really, The Ling Fei Classic carries a lot of things.
Who completed the Ling Fei Classic in previous lives? Let's look at its artistic value and influence on later generations.
Ling Fei Jing in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be a masterpiece in the history of China's calligraphy, which basically represents the highest achievement in the Tang Dynasty. Some people judge from a large number of works written in Dunhuang in the Tang Dynasty and even the fine works written in Ping 'an Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty that the overall level of calligraphy has not surpassed the Ling Fei Classic.
Since the Ling Fei Classic was unearthed, its exquisite and elegant calligraphy style was immediately amazed by the world and spread widely, which influenced the whole Qing Dynasty and even became the standard model of the imperial examination.

Even today, Lingfeijing has been called the first small letter in the world. Although this statement is inappropriate, it has nourished generations of calligraphers, which is true.
Ming Dong Qichang said, "Zhao Yisheng learned from Zhong Shaojing and gained three or four ears" (Zhao refers to Zhao Mengfu, the author notes). This reminds us of Zhao Mengfu's "Biography of Ji An" in small letters, and there are indeed traces of learning from the Ling Fei Classic. This answers the topic of this article. Zhao Mengfu did learn a lot from Beijing.

Today, it has been 1300 years since the Ling Fei Classic was written. At that time, Zhong Shaojing or an unknown calligrapher burned incense and washed his hands, as if in front of my eyes. He disguised himself and skillfully copied these words on thick white linen paper. After thousands of years, it is not only the superb calligraphy art of our ancestors, but also their painstaking cultivation and hard work. But in any case, they would never have thought that this classic book, perhaps written to make a living or complete a task, would have the honor to cross the Millennium and affect generations of descendants and book circles.
