Huang Tingjian's Best Cursive Works

Huang Tingjian's best cursive script is Zhu Shangtie.

The cursive script of Zhushangtie is a quotation written by Huang Tingjian, a famous calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, in Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) for Li Rendao, a friend of five generations. It is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

This book draws lessons from Huai Su's cursive brushwork, which is vertical and horizontal, magnificent, unique and unrestrained, especially showing the calligrapher's superb calligraphy skills.

Cursive attainments: Huang Tingjian doesn't drink, cursive script is all in his head, and he writes at will. But his meditation and wonderful enlightenment, though rational, can also be opened and closed, gathered and closed, and entered the realm of writing. And its pen, by contrast, is more calm and elegant, although ups and downs, but also can stay everywhere, stay everywhere. Huang Tingjian's "All Seated Posts" and other Buddhist cursive scripts are really wonderful.

Thus, Huang Tingjian created a new realm of China's cursive script.

Huang Tingjian's Anecdotal Allusions-Clever to Uncle Lian;

One day, Chang Li came to Huang Tingjian's house and saw Huang Tingjian studying at his desk, so he wanted to try his nephew's talent. When he entered the study, there was a mulberry tree in Li's common courtyard, and he recited the truth on the topic of the relationship between mulberry, silkworm, cocoon, silk and brocade:

Mulberry sericulture, cocoon, spinning and silk weaving are brilliant.

Huang Tingjian was very happy to see his uncle coming to the exam again, and his thinking became agile. Inspired by the brush in his hand, he immediately drew the bottom line:

The grass hides the rabbit, the rabbit gives birth to hair, and the pen writes articles.

Li's ordinary nephew can make such difficult couplets at an early age. From then on, he paid more attention to and cared about Huang Tingjian, carefully cultivated him and made his progress faster.
