Li Qi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote an ancient battle song about the sufferings of joining the army. The poet used Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to satirize Xuanzong's use of troops. The poet satirizes the emperor's behavior of exultation, belligerence, and treating human life like dirt, and sorrow is greater than strength.
Among them, two poems "Mourning, Wild Goose Flying at Night, Tartars Tears" were selected for calligraphy creation. These two poems show the pain and sadness brought by the war to the border soldiers. The structure of calligraphy shrinks and twists, such as the word "tiger face", and the strokes seem to be held together and twisted together, which is a metaphor for melancholy and sadness; It is difficult and frustrating to use the pen, such as "wailing" and other words (the fourteen characters of the two poems are basically the same), which is a metaphor for pain and sadness. The strokes are mainly contracted, just like people tend to curl up when they are in pain and sadness, such as "mourning" and "night". The strokes are bloated, even the strokes and strokes are piled up together, as if out of breath, and the image of "sadness" is vividly on the paper. The last stroke of the word "Luo" is intermittent, like tears, which enhances the image of "sadness" in the content. Calligraphy fully expresses the connotation and significance of poetry. The image, thought and emotion of calligraphy are integrated, and the form (beauty) and text content (beauty) are unified. The image is vivid, the artistic conception is far-reaching and the charm is rich, which shows the meaningful charm of China's calligraphy art.
-This calligraphy highlights the emotion of "mourning".
