Excuse me, is the memorial tablet in Nankong Temple in block letters or small letters?
Yu Shinan's calligraphy was taught by Zhi Yong (the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi), a monk in the Sui Dynasty. The existing tablet of Confucius Temple was written by Yu Shinan with the same brushwork as Wang Shu. Monk Zhiyong learned Wang Xizhi's brushwork well all his life and carried it forward. His disciple Yu Shinan, as a brave "relay", had a wider and deeper influence on Wang Shufa in the Tang Dynasty, which made him develop greatly. Not only that, Yu Shu's appeal in the calligraphy field in the early Tang Dynasty made his calligraphy style once dominate. Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi, the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty" in the history books, put Yu Shinan in the first place and Chu Suiliang in the second place. Yu Shinan's calligraphy remains are few, including the original engraving of Confucius Temple Monument, followed by the old copy of the epitaph of Princess Runan, followed by the engraving of Ji Tieshi, among which the original engraving of Confucius Temple Monument is the most famous. It has a great influence on later generations, and it is as famous as Ou Yangxun's Ming of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace and Chu Suiliang's Preface to the Sacred Instruction of Wild Goose Pagoda, and it is a learning model that learners love to see. The original tablet of Confucius Temple was erected in the early years of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty, with 35 lines of 64 words each, and the word "Confucius Temple Tablet" was engraved on the forehead. According to legend, during the Zhenguan period, only dozens of papers were given to the near ministers, and the stone was soon destroyed. When I arrived at Wu Zetian, I carved it again, which is not passed down today. There are mainly two kinds of later generations: one is carved by Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province in the Song Dynasty, which is called "Shaanxi Edition" internationally; First, in the Yuan Dynasty, it was re-engraved on the iron horse on the Shandong side, which was called "Chengwuben" by the world. At present, the earliest extant rubbings are only collected by Kanglizi Mountain in Yuan Dynasty, and later collected by Qing Dynasty, which is called Tang Tuo in history. And this extension actually flowed into Japan. There are many comments on Yu Shinan's calligraphy in past dynasties. For example, Li Simiao's Back of the Book in the Tang Dynasty called it "scattered", which means that his books are relaxed and natural. ? What's the point? Hey? A canopy? What happened? Work hard? Miscellaneous? "He thinks that the danger bag contains moderation and gentlemanly demeanor, which is superior to the European style. Song Xuanhe's "Xuanhe Book" commented: "Interpreting wisdom and being good at books can learn from Wang Xizhi's method, so you can learn from southerners. Therefore, you are dedicated and wonderful, and the official books in your later years also followed Wang Xizhi's. Song and Zhu's "Continued Book Breaks" called it profound academically, positive in argument and biased.
