Luo Shen Fu is a calligraphy work created by calligrapher Zhao Mengfu at the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Mengfu has written "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" for many times, and many versions have been handed down, but two of them are well preserved and collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Tianjin Museum respectively.
Luo Shen Fu has pure and mellow brushwork, rigorous and charming structure, and peaceful and unique composition. Zhao Mengfu learned from the "two kings", got his brushwork and combined with his own characteristics. His running script shows a delicate and elegant style, and Luo Shenfu also shows his aesthetic ideal incisively and vividly. The beauty of "neutralization" runs through the book and has a far-reaching influence on the development of calligraphy art in later generations.
artistic appreciation
The stippling in Luoshen Fu is full and changeable, and the thread is light. The brushwork is round and smooth, mostly horizontal, starting from the front, hiding the front with the pen, or hooking after a pause, such as "if" and "suo"; When the brush is stretched, the hook is often taken out to the left at the pen receiving place, such as "Yu".
As for paintings, some use Tibetan front to collect pens and turn them into long points, such as "waves"; Some pause and then bring out the attached hook, such as "capitalization"; Some words and strokes are thick and clear, such as "extraordinary"; Some brushstrokes are combined with each other, with horizontal strokes in the middle, such as the last stroke of the word "Ma", which fully proves the characteristics of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy.
