Zheng Daozhao likes to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's nature. In the first year of Yanchang (565,438+02), he used to refine gas in the Shanxi, South and Middle areas of Daji, Laizhou, and inscribed such names as Qingyan Temple, Baiyuntang, Song Balcony, Ling Xuan Palace and Zhongmingtan. Since then, Yunfeng Mountain and Dajishan Mountain in Laizhou have increased their luster and become famous all over the world. The glittering stone carvings make tourists at home and abroad yearn for it.
He is also a famous calligrapher in ancient China, the originator of Wei Bei School, a good calligrapher, a noble figure and a good calligrapher. Known as the "Northern Book Sage", Nan is as famous as Wang Xizhi and has the reputation of "Southern King and Northern Zheng". History says that Zheng Daozhao is "less studious, well-read and brilliant in literary talent" ... knowledgeable in classics, so he can be the best. "His books are carved on many cliff stone carvings in Qing and Guang countries, which are collectively called" Yunfeng Stone Carvings "(including Yunfeng Mountain in Ye County, ji shan, Tianzhu Mountain in pingdu city, Shandong Province and Linglong Mountain in Qingzhou City). More than 40 kinds of books written by Zheng Daozhao were found in Jiaqing, Daoguang, Yunfeng Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain in Shandong Province, which became one of the three treasures of calligraphy art in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Among them, the most famous cliff stone carvings are Zheng Wengong Shangbei, Zheng Wengong Xiabei, Jinglun Shushi and Guan Hai Bronze Stone. Judging from appreciating these excellent works of Zheng Daozhao's calligraphy art, his calligraphy style is characterized by ups and downs. Ups and downs are everywhere; Occasionally use the side abdomen to gain momentum, and suddenly the hair is flat and flat, not only brilliant, but also full of bones and muscles. The beauty of Fiona Fang is that it is not square or round, but also square and round. Either replace the circle with a square, or replace the circle with a square. Therefore, it can give people an open mind and a strong brushwork. Kang Youwei listed 42 kinds of stone carvings by Zheng Daozhao Yunfeng as "wonderful works" in Guang Yi and Zhou Shuang. It is said that "the stone carving of Yunfeng Mountain is tall and elegant, dense and reasonable."
"Zheng Wengong Monument" is divided into two monuments, the upper monument is in Shanyang, Tianzhu, pingdu city, Shandong Province, and there is no monument, each with 20 lines and 50 words; Xiabei is located under the shade of Yunfeng Mountain in Ye County, Shandong Province, with 5 1 line and 29 words per line. The contents of the upper and lower films are basically the same. The Monument to Zheng Wengong was written by Zheng Daozhao, the secretariat of Gwangju in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Wei Yongping carved it on the cliff for four years (5 1 1) to tell the merits of his father Zheng. The next inscription is "Xingyang Zheng Wengong Monument".
"Zheng Wengong Monument" is mainly based on simple and honest seal cutting techniques, with Fang Bi's participation, and its style is simple, such as Gu Song's bending, openness and vigor. Bao's "Art Boat and Double Drum" praised his book "Combination of Seal, Rhyme and Grass", which made people who went to Tianzhu and Yunfeng to observe stone carvings flock to it, and those who bought rubbings were proud of it. In the Qing Dynasty, Ye commented on his book: "Zheng Daozhao used the Yunfeng Mountain connected by seal script to write inscriptions and classics, and turned the northern country into a civilization. With its powerful pen power, it can be used to kill dragons and snakes, but it is all in vain. Europe, Henan, Chu and Xue in the early Tang Dynasty were all lucky. Although this is somewhat flattering, we can also see the great influence of this monument. Jia Zhu, a close friend, commented: "His achievements are by no means under Wang Xizhi, but should be regarded as a book saint in the north, and he is as famous as Wang Xizhi. Mr. Shen, a famous calligrapher, said: "Looking at the whole monument, I feel that the weather is far-reaching, the charm is graceful and the bones are broad." If I study word for word, I will be lenient and strict, plain and solemn, simple and sparse, thick and beautiful, and I am very capable in writing. "Zhong Zhishuai's" Learning to Choose Thin Products "said:" Yunfeng Wei inherits the charm of Han Li in the north and opens the voice of Tang Kai. It is a masterpiece of a generation, worthy of the essence of the times. It can be seen that "Zheng Wengong Monument" plays an important role in calligraphy in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
There are no Song rubbings on Zheng Wengong tablet. During the Qianlong period, your government visited the monument and the rubbings were handed down from generation to generation.
"Zheng Wengong Monument" and "Zheng Wengong Monument" combine the advantages of many styles, including the brushwork of seal script, the style of official script, the elegance of running script and the solemnity of regular script. His brushwork not only has the feeling of round pen formed by the turning of seal script, but also has the feeling of Fang Bi formed by the folding of official script. Fiona Fang is versatile, changeable and elegant. It is immortal to win glory with the side or win the momentum with the positive side, integrating momentum, rhyme and grass feelings, with a vigorous posture and infinite charm. This monument is majestic and solemn, and is highly valued by calligraphers. For example, Bao and Gong Zizhen compare it to the "harmony of righteousness", the crown of the southern monument. Ouyang Fu commented on this monument and said: "The brushwork is vertical and horizontal, and there is no habit of wild evil. Xiabei is particularly thin and particularly healthy. " Ye Chichang even said, "He has a healthy pen and can play with dragons and snakes, but he can swim in vain because of his good luck." . In the early Tang Dynasty, the schools of Ou Yu, Chu and Xue were all shrouded, not only the first in the Northern Dynasties, but also only one person since the publication of the book. He also said: "My name is Zheng Daozhao, and I am a saint in the book." Mr. Jia Zhu, a close friend, commented: "His achievements are not under Wang Xizhi, but should be regarded as a book saint in the north, just like Wang Xizhi." Zhong Zhishuai's Xue Xuan Shu Pin said: "Yunfeng Wei inherits the charm of Han Li in the north and opens Tang Kai first. It is a masterpiece of a generation and is worthy of the essence of the times. " Zheng Wengong Monument is in the transition period from official script to regular script, and its brushwork is still official script and regular script. In the Qing Dynasty, Bao said that this tablet has the characteristics of seal script, rhyme and grass, and it is "like a cloud crane and a seagull", which is one of the representative works of Weibei calligraphy art. Bao said: "There are many tablets in Weibei, and Zheng Wengong characters are absolutely true, and seal script rhyme is full of them. Iben Ying, a native of Shiben Valley, Hua Cuo, is of the same origin as grass, so it is called Cao Chuan. People who say nothing are close to each other. " It's Wen Zhen Yuan Qi Ye Zhen. Kang Youwei said after reading the Zheng Wengong Monument that people who have never seen this monument are not qualified to talk about calligraphy. In the Qing Dynasty, it became a rare treasure in Wei Bei. For example, the representative works of the North-South School are Yi heming by Nanliang and Zheng Wengong Monument by the Northern Wei Dynasty, both of which are cliff-mountain books with similar styles, which can be described as a double star between the North and the South. Gong Zizhen, a poet in A Qing, said: "If you want to separate from this inscription (referring to One heming), the Northern Dynasties will do something for Zheng Wengong." Most of the northern writers are Shu Ren, whose books are anonymous, so the history of calligraphy calls northern Wei calligraphy folk calligraphy. In terms of names, Zheng Daozhao and his son were crowned as "the saints in the book" and Wang Youjun of the Northern School.
