Father and son soldiers in the history of ancient and modern calligraphy
In ancient times, almost everyone had to write calligraphy, hoping to write well and even become a calligrapher. It used to be the dream of hundreds of millions of cultural people. If the father is a calligrapher, he is naturally an idol in his son's heart, and his calligraphy is naturally an example for his son to learn. Adhering to the family style of calligraphy, a pair of heroes will be talked about in the streets, passed down as stories, and even recorded in history. Throughout the history of calligraphy in China, there are many such father-son calligraphers, including Wei Ji and Wei Guan, Zhong You and Zhong Hui in the Three Kingdoms, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ou Yangxun and Ouyang Tong in the Tang Dynasty, Mi Fei and Mi Youren in the Song Dynasty, and Wen and Wen Peng in the Ming Dynasty?
Generally speaking, both father and son calligraphers are fathers and have greater status and influence than sons. Father when I was a child? In ancient times, how could calligraphy as a son be better than that of Laozi? They have lived in the great shadow of their father all their lives, and they will be scolded if they are not careful. When people talk about Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy, they always compare it with his father Wang Xizhi, and they have to tell the difference, which often makes Wang Xianzhi feel embarrassed. Xie An once asked Wang Xianzhi: What about the book you gave your father? As a son, of course, you can't say that your handwriting is better than his father's. Wang Xianzhi answered beautifully:? Different time is solid. ? That is to say: our calligraphy has only different styles, and there is no distinction between high and low. ? Who knows, will future generations? Is it different? Has it been tampered with? A solid victory? This brought trouble to dedication, but also brought the crime of unfilial. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, first criticized calligraphy. As thin as a dead tree in the dead of winter? 、? As stiff as Yan's hunger? . Sun said that his calligraphy is not as professional and versatile as Xihe.
Since? Father when I was a child? As a father, I hope that there will be a successor to calligraphy, and the calligraphy style I created can be passed down; The son learns calligraphy, of course, from his family. Taking my father's calligraphy as a model, adhering to the family style, I write words very much like my father. Ou Yangxun, a calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty, died when his fourth son, Ouyang Tong, was still very young. His mother Xu raised him and taught him to learn his father's calligraphy. Since most of his calligraphy is scattered among the people, and there are not many collections at home, Xu spared no expense to ask Ouyang Tong to buy his father's handwriting in the market. Ouyang Tong deliberately copied his father's calligraphy, but he wrote it vividly and sold it in the market. People can't tell the truth from the false.
Because of the pressure of parents and family, these calligraphers have to copy their father's handwriting since childhood, and they can write as soon as they can, which also exercises their extraordinary copying ability. Wen Peng, the son of Wen Zhiming, a calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, was favored by Wang Shizhen? Copying double hooks is the first hand of our dynasty. ? Zhong Hui, the son of Zhong You, a calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period, was also a master of calligraphy copying. He copied Wargo's handwriting and wrote a letter to Si Mazhao, the literary king, in the name of Wargo. This letter is arrogant. At the same time, he told Si Mazhao that Wargo was proud of himself, but the fact was just the opposite. Si Mazhao, the king of Wen, read the forged letter of Wargo, listened to Zhong Hui and wrote a letter to win Wargo. Zhong Hui conveniently annexed Wargo's army.
However, some children don't like their parents' calligraphy style. When they see other people's good handwriting, they will change their minds and learn from his family. Of course, this will make parents angry. Wang Xizhi absorbed the book style of Jiangnan, especially after Huiji, and became a charming and convenient book style. At that time, many teenagers of the Yu family, one of the four families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, were learning Wang Xizhi's new calligraphy. Angry teenagers don't learn their own calligraphy, saying: children hate chickens and love pheasants, and they all learn easily and learn little. ?
Ambitious children, even if they learn their parents' calligraphy, can often follow the trend, keep pace with the times and bring forth new ideas. They will challenge the authority of their parents. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Guan not only changed his seal script on the basis of inheriting his father Wei Ji's ancient prose, but also borrowed his father's brushwork and the popular running script since the end of Han Dynasty on the basis of Zhang Zhi's cursive script in the Eastern Han Dynasty, creating a calligraphy style between cursive script and running script. Draft? . Wang Xianzhi advised his father when he was 15 or 16 years old? Change your body? Get rid of the influence of Cao Zhang's brushwork. Although he was not approved by his father, he made bold reforms in Wei Ji? Draft? On this basis, we can create a more attractive and convenient running grass.
In today's book world, it is also common for fathers to teach children to read or for children to inherit their fathers' career. We can get some useful enlightenment from the experience of these father and son calligraphers in the history of calligraphy. Source: Jinyang.com.
