Zuisu's works are as follows:
"Xuanhe Shupu" said that "the words are flying, the circles are wonderful, just like gods" Huaisu's handed down works There are many of them, among which the most famous ones include "Autobiography Tie", "Bitter Bamboo Shoot Tie", "Fish Eating Tie" and so on.
"Zuisu" is monk Huaisu. Huaisu is good at cursive calligraphy. His calligraphy inherits Zhang Xu's characteristics, but adds new changes. While focusing on momentum, he also pays attention to the density, reality, and size of the layout. The lines are thin, powerful, and elastic. Huaisu's calligraphy style in his later years gradually became elegant and rich, possessing a superb charm.
They have all received Zhang Xu’s true biography. Yan inspired Huaisu with natural phenomena such as "ancient hairpin feet" and "house leakage marks". Huaisu replied: "The poor monk observed that Xia Yun was affected by the wind." Changes, strange peaks one after another, and cracks in the walls are all natural." Since then, his calligraphy has improved greatly.
As the representative work of Huaisu Kuangcao, "Autobiography" was written in the twelfth year of the Dali calendar of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty (777), with 126 lines and 698 words. The whole post describes his experience in learning calligraphy and his arrival in Beijing.
First of all, it describes the author's creations and what he saw and heard before and after arriving in Chang'an, with slow writing and elegant lines; then he describes Yan Zhenqing's instruction to him, and his writing style gradually becomes wilder; then he writes about the world's view of him. Appreciated, the brushwork becomes unfathomable, and the arbitrary strokes seem to end abruptly after the climax, which is endlessly memorable.
The calligraphy on the whole poster is smart and elegant, dense and dense, and the writing force is strong, just like the poem praising him at that time, "running snakes and scorpions sit down, the sound of sudden rain and whirlwind fills the hall"; "cold apes drink water" To shake the withered vines, a strong man pulls out the mountains and stretches out his strong iron.”
Huaisu's life:
Huaisu (725-785), whose courtesy name was Zangzhen and whose surname was Qian, was from Changsha (now part of Hunan). Huaisu became a monk since childhood, but he was intelligent, studious and proficient in Sanskrit.
According to records such as "Shu Xiaoshi", Huai Su once made a special trip to Chang'an to ask Zhang Xu for advice on calligraphy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu had returned to his hometown at this time. However, Huaisu was lucky enough to get to know Yan Zhenqing, who was the imperial censor at the time, and find his cousin Wu Tong.
