Qin Gui is good at calligraphy, and there are even rumors that Song Ti evolved from his handwriting. Why do few people imitate his calligraphy?

Because Qin Gui is a big traitor, he framed Zhong Liang Yue Fei, which did great harm to the court. He is such a negative image, so no one will want to imitate him even if his handwriting is no matter how good! According to historical records, Qin Gui was born a scholar, and he read widely. He was a good official in his early years and was deeply loved by Song Huizong. He was appointed as the left consultant of the Royal Observatory as an exception, responsible for handling the official documents of the government office of the Royal Observatory.

When dealing with official documents, Qin Gui found that these official documents from all over the country had different fonts and were very irregular. Therefore, on the basis of in-depth study of Hui Zong's font, we imitate the "Jinbo" font and create a unique font that is concise, unified, simple and easy to learn. Then, Hui Zong ordered Qin Gui to send its writing pattern to all parts of the country, demanding that official documents should be written in pattern fonts. This method spread quickly, and later fonts gradually evolved into "Song Style" for printing.

Qin Gui is good at seal script and writes neatly. He left the word "Jade Rabbit Spring" in the pillar of Jinling Confucian Temple, which was "impressive". At present, Qin Gui's calligraphy works include Poems and Deep in the Heart. Because Qin Gui has been a sinner since ancient times, his achievements in calligraphy have faded.

There is a proverb in Disciples' Rules that says, "People with strong abilities look arrogant; People will not be swayed by big talk. " Talented people have outstanding ability to handle affairs and their prestige is naturally extraordinary. People admire him because he has real talent and learning, not because he is good at boasting. So this "talent" must be based on virtue. A moral person must acquire and apply the talents he has learned from society in order to benefit his family, society and the public. His talent will certainly make people realize and benefit a lot. Naturally, everyone will respect and admire him very much.

If a person is talented without virtue and forgets morality for his own benefit, it is impossible to win the respect of others Qin Gui's calligraphy was a must in the Southern Song Dynasty, but when he framed Yue Fei and harmed Zhong Liang, few people took the initiative to learn from him, so his calligraphy also declined.
