Are the characteristics of Li Jianzhong's calligraphy obvious?
Li Jianzhong, now living in Luo Zhong, is a companion of Lin Quan. He is good at seal cutting and calligraphy, especially the original works. His most famous ink is "Tu Chun Mu Tie". It is said that the font of this ink had a preliminary influence on Wang Xizhi, but his style did not weaken Xu Hao's style. At that time, the scholar-officials got their books, all of which were treasured as model laws. His works are tall and seemingly simple with a pen, but in fact there are hidden buttons. Ou Yangxun's "Hans Sticker" is the main method to help his books become simple and simple, which is a legacy of Tang Xian. As Wu Mingkuan said: "The book of the West Pacific is profound and warm, and it has the image of a fool." The characteristic of Lu's works is that, at first glance, it seems bland, without that kind of exaggerated and narrow expression, and seems to be pursuing a quiet atmosphere. What is revealed on the paper is the faint scholar breath, which is written by everyone, revealing a pursuit and aesthetic ideal in a quaint way. The style of his works is quite brilliant, which is not inferior to some famous artists in the Tang Dynasty. He did not deliberately seek dharma, but showed a high understanding of statutes in his gentle and casual arrangement. Song and Huang Tingjian once said: "Xitai is outstanding, fat without meat, like a beauty in the world, and handsome in muscles." Indeed, every word of his works has a unique appearance and aesthetic feeling. Ou Yangxun and Yu Shinan were the only calligraphers who reached this level in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Wu Ying said in his poem, "The style of Tang poetry has recovered. The book is only 300 years old, and it still has the charm since Zhenguan and Yonghui. Although Li Xitai was in the early Song Dynasty, he was the last of Tang calligraphy. " Zhao Mengfu also said: "Xitai is not far from the Tang Dynasty, and there are still the legacy of the Tang Dynasty." It can be seen that people brought him into the calligraphy system of the Tang Dynasty. The advantage of Li Jianzhong's works lies in his mastery of various forms, which not only abides by the ancient rhyme of Tang and Fa, but also creates a precedent of respecting meaning. His works are upright and introverted, which is an ancient method, and his transcendent atmosphere is the pursuit of interest. His works are like sketches of literati paintings, with concise pen and ink but rich interest, but few strokes overflow verve. Compared with the calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, the calligraphy in the Song Dynasty is less magnificent and more euphemistic and lingering.
