Inkstone Calligraphy in Taiwan Province Province

Behind it is a story of Yan Zhongjun serving the country, which embodies the lofty realm and thoughts and feelings of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and is highly praised by later Confucian intellectuals. The calligraphy of the two kings shows their advantages; When the work becomes larger, dozens or hundreds of times as large as the handwritten work, it will be hung up and watched in full format at a long distance. The brushwork, structure and composition all meet the different requirements of a complete large-scale work. Yan Zhenqing found the skull of his nephew Ji Ming. Holding the body of a loved one, my inner grief roared out like a flood that burst its banks. I thanked the Yan family for their loyalty and courage, and wrote a letter to my nephew, which has been circulated ever since.

Because Yan Zhenqing was studious and highly savvy, he wrote his own unique style and created a "Yan Ti" regular script with his own system, which had a great influence on later generations. Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice for a Nephew" shows the new height of China's calligraphy and broadens the content of China's calligraphy. Through this calligraphy work, we can not only get a glimpse of Yan's superb calligraphy skills, but also deeply feel Yan Zhenqing's moral character and integrity! I once wrote an article about appreciating calligraphy works. Facing a calligraphy work, we can appreciate it from the aspects of composition, brushwork and structure.

As we all know, Yan Zhenqing's Sacrifice to a Nephew is called the second running script in the world, second only to Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting. There are also smears in Preface to Lanting Collection, but there are more smears in the manuscript of Sacrifice to My Nephew, almost all of which are smears. But it also caused an uproar. Once such a treasure is displayed, it will be damaged. In my opinion, if such a treasure is destroyed, even if everyone in the Taiwan provincial government commits suicide, it is hard for the people to be angry. It's messy, but the composition is excellent step by step. What a good skill, it can be said that it is like drunken boxing in martial arts, but it is not like killing a master. However, in one go. It shows his inner intensity and grief, which is a complete display of his inner feelings and calligraphy accomplishment.
