What exactly does "thin" mean in "thin golden body"? This can be seen literally. Anyone who has enjoyed the thin gold body knows that the "thin" in the thin gold body means that the font is thin and the iron painting is like a silver hook.
So what does the word "gold" mean? In ancient times, this font created by Song Huizong was not called "thin gold style" but "thin gold book", which belongs to the category of our current "running script" and "regular script". The word "thin gold" was invented by Song Huizong himself.
Up to now, Shoujinti has been praised as the most artistic Chinese font by countless people, and imitated and worshipped by countless people. It is easier to understand than cursive script, more Fiona Fang than running script and more stereoscopic than regular script. Every word "fine gold" seems to be a beautiful painting, not just Chinese characters.
Song Huizong's thin gold body and iron-painted silver hooks are very famous. According to the Book History Society, Hui Zong's cursive script is an authentic book with easy brushwork. He began to learn Xue Ji, changed his statutes, and became a thin book.
The term "thin golden body" was invented by Song Huizong himself. Some people think that Song Huizong used these two words to describe his calligraphy, which originated from the wrong gold craft popular in the pre-Qin period.
At that time, the wrong gold technology of inlaid gold and silver silk pieces on the surface of bronzes was often expressed in words. Song Huizong began to imitate Xue Ji's calligraphy, which is also famous for its thinness. Although the lines are thin, they are angular, and each stroke shows the artistic conception of the author's calligraphy. A small block letter of 1,000 words is still shining after thousands of years, and it is the jewel in the crown of calligraphy art.
Song Huizong's lines are very thin, like bronze gilded grooves. But his sharpness shows that his understanding of calligraphy has reached its peak.
Indeed, as an emperor who experienced the change of Jingkang, Song Huizong brought a bitter answer to the people in the Northern Song Dynasty. But as a calligrapher, Song Huizong is a peak in the history of calligraphy in China. Perhaps the identity of the emperor is the least suitable for him.
