Jin Cuodao wrote calligraphy for Li Yu, the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu used a trill brushwork called "Jin Cuodao, as straight as Youlong and as beautiful as a peacock". Legend has it that Li Yu wrote this kind of Jin Cuodao style, which is clever and unpredictable. Sometimes when writing, he lost his pen, grabbed a pile of cloth, filled it with thick ink and spread it on the paved paper.
Li Yu: "Shi Li is good at calligraphy and painting. The book is in the shape of a trembling pen, and it is as vigorous as a cold pine and frost bamboo, which is called Jin Cuodao. " Qing? Jinnong? "Wu Mofu's long sentence wine is in the garden and bamboo room": "You can talk about it in autumn and draw Jin Cuodao for me."
What achievements has Li Yu made in calligraphy?
As for Li Yu's calligraphy, he inherited the calligraphy method of the two kings, which is called "pulling stirrup method" and is good at running calligraphy. Gu Taoqing and Ceng Yun: "The former master was good at writing books, and his pen was as vigorous as cold pine and frost bamboo, which was called' Jin Cuodao'. If you write in big letters and don't write in silk, you can be satisfied. It is called' pinch of books' in the world. "
His ink is rarely circulated, and a line in The First Snow of the River by Zhao Gan, a painter in the Southern Tang Dynasty (now the National Palace Museum in Taipei) is considered to be his original work. He once produced the calligraphy works hidden in the secret room of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and ordered Xu Xuan to engrave it into a "Sheng Yuan Tie" for people to appreciate and study. This is the earliest known calligraphy post. Today no longer exists.
