Liu Gongquan became famous without arrogance or rashness. Liu Gongquan has shown great talent in calligraphy since he was a child, and his calligraphy is well known. He's a little proud of it, too. One day, however, he met an old man with no hands and found that the handwriting written by the old man with his feet was better than his. Since then, he has been putting? Beware of arrogance? Keep it in mind, practice calligraphy diligently, learn modestly, and eventually become a generation of calligraphy masters.
Liu Gongquan's anecdote 1. Liu Gongquan is an apprentice? A full-time old man?
Liu Gongquan, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was praised as a prodigy because he could read poems and write articles at the age of 12, and his handwriting was good, so he gradually became proud.
One day, Liu Gongquan and his friends were writing bowls under the tree. At this moment, an old man selling tofu brain came along. Liu Gongquan proudly said to the old man with his own words: Grandpa, do you think my writing is great? The old man said: this word is written like my tofu brain, soft and flat, without bones and muscles? . Liu Gongquan was unconvinced and insisted that the old man write a word to look at it. The old man said: I can't write well, but some people write better with their feet. Go to town tomorrow. ?
The next day, Liu Gongquan came to the county seat. As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a cover hanging on the big locust tree in North Street, which read? Calligraphy and painting soup? Three big characters, surrounded by many people under the tree. I saw a black and thin old man, without arms and barefoot, sitting on the ground, his left foot pressing the paper on the ground, and his right foot writing couplets with a pen, which was very good.
Liu Gongquan looked ashamed and admired, wanted to worship him as a teacher, and asked him what was the secret of writing. The old man writes with his feet: After writing eight tanks of water, dye a pool of water and learn from others? Also said:? I was born without hands. I have been writing with my feet for more than 50 years, and there is still a long way to go! ? Liu Gongquan was deeply touched when he heard this. From then on, he worked hard and finally became a great calligrapher.
fearless
Liu Gongquan was a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Once, the then emperor Tang Muzong went to Beijing on business. He said, "I have seen your handwriting in the Buddhist temple and I have long wanted to see you."
In order to reward Liu Gongquan, the emperor promoted his official position, and then asked Liu Gongquan how to use a pen. He replied, "Only when you have integrity in your heart can you hold the pen correctly and call it calligraphy."
Tang Muzong immediately changed his face, thinking that Liu Gongquan was writing a letter to him. In ancient times, subordinates didn't say a word well and were easily beheaded. Liu Gongquan's daring to say so shows his fearless spirit of telling the truth.
The experience behind Liu Gongquan's fame Liu Gongquan's crown of success is not only woven by hard thorns, but also picked on the shoulders of giants. He is good at absorbing the wisdom and achievements of all calligraphers and turning them into his own calligraphers.
stretch
Liu Gongquan studied hammer calligraphy. As can be seen in the Diamond Sutra, Liu Xie has pointed it out. Do Tang people learn more? Two kings? Books, but Liu Gongquan can learn from Wang's books. Wang Shizhen Ceng Yun: Liu Gongquan? The book Preface to Lanting Collection, though far away from Yin Shan's room, is sure to learn from God and leave a trail. ? However, Dong Qichang is the best friend. From Liu Gongquan's book "Learning from the King", he saw that his body was separated from the king's body, and his spirit was combined with the king's body. Realizing that his pen was old and weak, he turned from Liu Fa to the right army (Learning from the King in Books). In fact, from Liu Gongquan's cursive script, we can see that some works have both the blood, charm and charm of the king and the appearance of the king's book. Learning from Wang Shu's calligraphy is one of the sources of Liu Shusheng's life.
Ouchu
Liu Shu is translated from the works of Ou Yangxun and Chu Suiliang, and there are many critics. Mi Fei believes that Liu. Kang Youwei said: If you are honest, you will change your mind in Europe. ? Kang Youwei also thought it was a thin and hard school, and then Chu Suiliang and Liu Gongquan all belonged to this school (Yi). Liu Xizai thinks that Liu is closely related to Europe and Chu, that is, Yizhou Temple Monument is a collection of Liu Shucheng for later generations, but it is majestic and graceful, similar to Duke Chu's (artistic outline). Ou Shu's bones and muscles are exposed and his structure is cautious. Chu Shu's pen is flexible, smooth and beautiful, which gives Liu Gongquan useful enlightenment.
Yan Shu
Liu Shu benefited a lot from Yan Zhenqing's book. Sue:? Liu's books are out of beauty, but they can create new ideas. ? (Inscription and Postscript of Dongpo) Zhu Yun: The writer, who covers his method as beauty, makes it vigorous and rich, and calls himself a family. ? ("Continued Book Break") In terms of specific books, some people say? Is the "mysterious tower" the facade of the Guojia Temple? (Liu Xizai's Art Outline); Some people say it's Lu Gong's Zang Huaike Monument? The most open? ,? Is that how Liu Jian suggested studying Yan? (Guo Shangxian wrote an inscription for Fangjian Pavilion); Some people say it's Yan's Li Bei? The structure, like Home Temple, is full of enthusiasm, so it is the originator of sincerity? (Wang Shizhen's Yizhou Mountain Man Draft) and so on.
Liu Xueyan mainly has four aspects:
The first is to learn strict statutes. Yan Zhenqing's regular script is well prepared in terms of brushwork and word formation, and Liu gained and lost on this basis, making it more complete.
The second is to learn from his charming book style. Replace the charm of his men with the men in his own show.
The third is to learn the combination of his character and books. Yan's personality is noble, Yan Shu's style is beautiful, and Liu Gongquan is also a typical example of the combination of book beauty and human beauty.
The fourth is to study the strict spirit of reform. Yan opened up a magnificent realm beyond the barriers of Wang Shu, not only on a par with Wang Xizhi, but also created his own calligraphy style for the prosperous Tang Dynasty and played the sound of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Liu also changed it, creating the style of new books in Yuan Dynasty and later, and enriching the voice of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Liu Gongquan learned a lot. He not only learned from other calligraphers, but also drew nutrition from folk calligraphy (such as the North Monument).
In particular, Liu Gongquan's success lies in a group that learns from each other and makes up for each other's shortcomings. For example, Pei Xiu, who is ten years older than Liu Gongquan and thirteen years younger than Liu Gongquan, is a calligrapher of the same type as Liu Gongquan: Shang? Jin Qing? 、? Life, new body . Liu Gongquan's famous monument "Mysterious Pagoda" was written by Pei Xiu, and Pei Xiu's famous monument "Guifeng Dinghui Zen Master Monument" was sealed by Liu Gongquan. Pei's inscription shows his influence. Careful consideration, the handling of the pen, the density of the structure, and the sincerity of hanging? (Yu Shi). Liu Gongquan's brother Liu Gongzhuo is also good at calligraphy, so it is reasonable to influence each other.
