Original Li _ Translation and Appreciation

Li (the year of birth and death is unknown) was born in the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Writer and calligrapher in Tang Dynasty. The word Shao Wen, Han nationality, was born in Bozhou, Anhui Province. Uncle Li Bai wrote the preface of Caotang Collection for Li Bai. He started as Jinyunling and Dangtu Ling, and later as a bachelor of imperial academy Cheng and Jixian College. The world is called juvenile prison. All five brothers have rich literary words and works. Li Si's "Yishan Monument" won with thin strength. He is good at Ci and calligraphy, especially Xiao Zhuan. Claiming to be "after Siang, Cao and Cai Yong were not enough", his seal script was "vigorous and generous, popular collection, and those who know it are called pale and backward." Even called "a person after Li Si" by later generations. The communication between Li and Li Bai was in the second year of the Tang Dynasty (76 1). In his later years, Li Bai was penniless and came to Dangtu from Jinling (now Nanjing) to go to his uncle Li. At first, Li didn't know the dilemma and Li Bai's purpose. When Li sent Li Bai to the boat to say goodbye, he saw Li Bai's poem "Uncle Dangtu offered a sacrifice to Yang Bing" and kept him. The poem first praises Li Yangdong's talent, saying, "My family has a quarter of his father, who is outstanding and innovative. Although there are no three places, I don't borrow four noble names. Affectionate, eventually help the dragon and tiger essence. The weak crown Zhao Yan came, and the sage was welcome. Lu Lian is so funny that Lu Bu is a minister. " He believes that Li is a human being and has been valued and appreciated by the sages in his hometown since he was a child. Many sages and celebrities are willing to associate with him, saying that he is neither attached to the powerful nor heroic. Then, he praised and evaluated Li's achievements in Dangtu in his poems. Say, "It's hard to kill a city, but the ancient city is empty. If you live in grass, you will sweep the floor without fiber stems. Hui Ze flew away again, and the farmers went back to farm. Guanghan water Wan Li, long-flowing jade piano sound. Song Ya broadcasts five mountains, but it is still peaceful. " He believes that Li came to Dangtu after the Anshi Rebellion, was ordered at a critical moment, managed well, and made great achievements in Huize. Finally, I stated my difficult situation in the poem and said, "Little boy, don't leave Jinling and come to the pavilion for nothing. A flock of chickens pity the guests and birds. Pull out five-color hair, meaning heavy Taishan light. It costs a lot of money to send a small gift to water the long whale. Playing sword is bitter and cold, and the wind is fierce. The moon is bright and the frost is clear. Go home with a sigh, Linchuan Empty Screen Camp. " It can be clearly seen from the poem that Li Bai came to Dangtu from Jinling in winter to visit Yangdong. Because he couldn't support himself with charity from his friends in Jinling, he came to Dangtu for help. Li, on the other hand, was tolerant, tried his best to help and treat his friends well, so that Li Bai finally had a place to live and a home to return to in his later years.

After Li Bai lived in Dangtu, he and Li met frequently in the county government and the mountains. At that time, when he saw Li, he was "singing trees and laughing like thunder." Put pen to paper and sprinkle seal script, and the clouds are falling apart, which is shocking. Words shine, and five colors fall into Huaxing. Show sentences all over the country, high talent. "It is said that Yang Bing's calligraphy is not only unique, but also his poems are very gorgeous. In order to express his admiration for Li Yangdong, he also wrote an article entitled "Painting Zan Dangtu Li Zaijun" specially for Li, praising the cloud: "Heaven hangs down yuan Jing, Yue descends Jing. When you destined the world, great sages were born. Spit out whimsy and smell Wang Ting. The light is too clear for the emperor to rest. It starts from one hundred miles and includes eight miles. Jinyun flies, as. When Song Ya changes, Jiangshan will be respected again. Hold a city dance and draw a picture of Danqing. The eyebrows are beautiful, the eyes are bright, the cranes are charming, Lin Teng is quiet, the sun and the moon are exposed, and the operation is clear. The poor god explained, progress forever. "This eulogy not only expresses Li Bai's great admiration for Li, but also regrets that Li, a man of strategy, courage and achievement, can't display his talents and ambitions under the situation of national turmoil and world decline.

Li's artistic achievement is the preface to Li Bai's poetry collection "Caotang Collection". Li, who was famous for his seal script in Tang Dynasty, was a great change. He is known as the first seal script writer after Li Si, which has a great influence on later generations. Since Qin Lisi created Biography, it has been more than a thousand years since Han, Wei, Jin and Sui and Tang Dynasties. Scholars only think that real grass is the attack, and biographical research is useless. Li sighed and said, "Heaven has not lost, and my boy really achieved the purpose of printing." Li once published Shuo Wen Jie Zi by Xu Shen in the Eastern Han Dynasty as 20 volumes, but made great changes in the seal cutting method and interpretation of the original book. Since then, Xu Shen's original works have gradually disappeared, while Li's printed works have prevailed. Until the early Song Dynasty, Xu Xuan revised Shuo Wen Jie Zi and sorted out the contents of the original book, which basically restored its original appearance.

Li took seal script as his own responsibility and began to study Li Si's Yi Mountain Monument. He inherited the jade-tendon brushwork, but changed his style. The lines flatten into beautiful flows, which makes them look elegant. "synopsis of the golden chamber" says that "Yang Bing is especially good at calligraphy, and he is full of ink. At that time, people called it a pen tiger. " Zhang Xu's brushwork was also taught by Li Yangdong. In old age, seals become more and more vigorous. Self-proclaimed: "After Sian (Reese) to Xiao Sheng. Cao Xi and Cai Yong are not enough. " Kang Youwei's "Zhou Guangyi Shuangji" called it: "Winning by thinness, if" Thousand Gua Ming "is beneficial to thinness and destroying ancient laws."

The characters have made Yang Bing's good words, "Words are full of rivers and gardens"; The work of seal script, "the brushwork is wonderful in the world." Critics praised his calligraphy, saying that "insects eat birds' traces, common rain gathers its words, Tai 'a Longquan is beneficial in language, and lofty in Chinese and Vietnamese", saying that "in the Tang Dynasty, people who were called seal writers were only public and exclusive."

There are many stone carvings written by Li. Among them, Wu Shishan Temple written by Jinyun, Zhejiang, Prajna written by Fuzhou, Shun Temple Monument written by Guilin, Guangxi, Yi Tingming written by Wuchang, Hubei, and Yan Weizhen Temple Monument written by xi, Shaanxi, etc. In particular, the book "The Former Melon" on the campus of No.12 Middle School in Wuhu, Anhui Province was written at the request of a friend during Li's tenure as county magistrate in dangtu county. This tablet is a seal script with a strong momentum and vigorous brushwork. In the Tang dynasty, it was scattered among the people. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Wuhu people got it in Dangtu City and passed it on to his secret home in Wuhu. In the fourth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1525), the customs inspector of Wuhu moved from the Wang family to the Xiucai House, and wrote an inscription for him: "The seal is written by Qin, and the brushwork is beyond, and the theory is detailed." It is a collection of Wang in Wuhu, which was ruled by Tu County at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is elegant and healthy, outstanding and ancient. "It's a pity that this tablet of Inscription was destroyed in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, and the tablet of Gangua still exists today.

"Three Graves" was engraved in 767, the second year of Tang Dali. Written by He Li. Three Graves is Li's masterpiece. Li was the most successful seal script in the Tang Dynasty. It is called "iron line drawing" and "Three Graves Monument" inherited the jade brushwork of Li Si's "Yishan Monument", winning with fine strength, slender structure, thick and flat lines, consistent strokes from beginning to end, smooth and clean, and elegant.

The Qing Dynasty said, "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has always been Li's first hand. Today's concept of "The Story of Three Graves" is characterized by a secret, and honesty is not easy to achieve. But I have seen Yang Bing's calligraphy after Lu Tanwei's "Golden Teng Tu", which is beyond the reach of stone carvings. " Qing Kang Youwei believed that The Story of Three Graves won with "thin strength". Mr. Wang Nanming, a contemporary calligrapher, once wrote an article commenting on Li Yangdong's Xiao Zhuan: "The lines are swaying like weeping willows, or the picture scroll is filled with a lyrical atmosphere, which represents the literary talent of Xiao Zhuan calligraphy in Tang Dynasty." The inscriptions handed down from ancient times include San, Chenghuang Temple Monument, Thousand Gua Ming, Yi Tingming, Prajna Sutra, and Wu Epitaph, all of which are reprinted by later generations.
