Before talking about the relationship between these two people, let's get to know Huang Tingjian. Huang Tingjian is one of the four great poets in Song Dynasty. You know, in the Song Dynasty, literature was more important than martial arts, so there were many literati. Calligraphy practice is a compulsory course for literati, so the calligraphy of ancient literati is actually good. Huang Tingjian can be rated as one of the four masters of calligraphy among such a large group of literati, which shows his calligraphy level.
In addition to his unique views on font structure in calligraphy, Huang Tingjian wrote the rhyme of a word in his heyday. This feeling can't be explained, but it has been sought after by many people. Among Huang Tingjian's numerous calligraphies, the poems written by Pang Jushi in his later years are the most important. This copybook is not only a poem, but also a bitter experience for half a life.
Because Huang Tingjian's calligraphy is famous, there are many people who imitate his running script notes in later generations, and Zhu Peng is one of them. Zhu Peng was from the Qing Dynasty and Huang Tingjian was from the Song Dynasty. There is no necessary connection between them in essence. The only connection is that Zhu Peng is an admirer of Huang Tingjian's calligraphy, so he will imitate his calligraphy. In ancient times, he paid more attention to learning others' knowledge and imitating others' fonts, so he was naturally regarded as his student. Therefore, because Zhu Peng likes Huang Tingjian's ci very much, he may indirectly worship Huang Tingjian as a teacher.
Zhu Peng was still very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. His best skill is to imitate Huang Tingjian's calligraphy and draw crabs and grapes. In addition, he has written many books, and he is very familiar with and proficient in history, calligraphy and painting, and poetry. Later generations think that he is a celebrity after Hang Shijun.
To sum up, although Huang Tingjian and Zhu Peng lived in different dynasties. But because calligraphy has formed a connection across time and space, perhaps this is the spiritual communication between literati.
