Houma, where the Oath Book was unearthed, is the intersection of Fenhe River and Huihe River where Xintian, the capital of the late Jin Dynasty, is located. Houshu is the product of Jin moving to Xintian. The discovery of these precious historical relics in the Book of Houma League proves that today's Houma area is the location of Jindun ancestral temple, and the appearance of the word "Ding Gong" further proves the close relationship between the site of the Jin State in Houma and Xintian, the capital of the late Jin State, and provides reliable written evidence for confirming the ancient Xintian, that is, today's Houma.
There are more than 5,000 books of the League unearthed in Houma, of which 653 can read, with a total word count of about 3,000 words. Besides repetition, there are nearly 500 words. These precious cultural relics provide reliable materials for the study of Eastern Zhou characters, and are undoubtedly valuable physical materials for the study of China's calligraphy art history. ..
The Book of Houmameng is the official document of the State of Jin in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The writing of the book of alliance is an alliance oath written in red pen or ink on stones and jade plates. These characters are the original calligraphy with a complete chapter written with a brush in the ancient Chinese characters discovered in China at present.
The style of Zhu Shu's Poems about Sleeping after Ma Meng is similar to that of the bronzes "Luan Shu" and "Gong Jin", and the brushwork is similar to that of Chu Silk Book and Xinyang Bamboo Slips in the Warring States Period, but the style is slightly richer.
Hou Mameng's calligraphy and handwriting are very skilled, some slender and some free and easy, all from the hands of "swearing", not one person's brushwork. Some handwriting is as small as 0.2 cm, but the strokes are still very clear, indicating that the handwriting must be written with a soft and elastic brush, which is beyond doubt.
Hou Shu's calligraphy art is unique and unique. The era of alliance writing is later than that of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which is roughly the same as that of Jinwen. After archaeological research, Hou's calligraphy and writing methods are different from Oracle Bone Inscriptions's. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is the earliest mature written language in China. Carved on tortoise shells, shoulder bones of cattle, deer skulls and other Oracle Bone Inscriptions. It means writing in khaki and then carving, or carving directly. There are prophase and anaphase. The lines in the early stage are stiff and rough, and gradually become beautiful in the later stage. However, most of the strokes on Oracle bones mean "deliberate", and there are few "strokes" in writing. Bronze inscriptions can be divided into "Shang Dynasty, Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period", but they are all fan inscriptions and lack the charm of writing.
Hou Mameng's calligraphy is the original calligraphy written by Jin people with brush, which reflects the ancient writing art in the Spring and Autumn Period most directly and truly. Meng Shu is characterized by simple font, smooth brushwork and natural style. Because the writing of the League is written by many people, its font style presents some vigorous and dignified, and some elegant and free and easy. Shu Meng's writing strongly shows the unique elastic rhythm of soft pen in writing and writing, which is another feature of his writing style, with light strokes, unique and beautiful style, simple and elegant, and complicated changes. It reflects the writing style of Shu Meng before the unification of Qin Dynasty and belongs to the seal script system.
Hou's calligraphy is characterized by outstanding brushwork. That is to say, the strokes of Hou's calligraphy are obviously exposed, which is different from the left and right oblique strokes, and often has the stroke intention of returning the strokes naturally, which is naturally formed by skillful writing with a brush. This kind of writing is very common in the league books, which reflects the style of the characters in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Hou Ma's book of alliance is written in bamboo on stone tablets and jade tablets. In ancient China, there was a saying that blood was taken by killing, and oaths were written in blood. The characters of Houma League are written with red mineral pigments. This is the continuation and perfection of the custom of writing in blood, which not only maintains the connotation of the word, but also highlights the characteristics of northern culture.
Hou's calligraphy and calligraphy methods are exquisite works of art created by ancient ancestors, the inevitable product of the development of Jin culture to a certain stage, and a wonderful work of ancient Chinese calligraphy art.
These materials are included in the book of post-Mamun, which can be consulted and studied.
Beijing, April 29th (Liu Shibin, Qin) The reporter learned on the morning of 29th that the 6th "Shanxi Houma Jinguo Ancient Capital Culture Festival" sponsored by Shanxi Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department, Linfen Municipal Committee and Municipal Government will open on May 26th.

Houma, Shanxi, called Xintian in ancient times, was the capital of the late Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,500 years ago. According to Zuo Zhuan, in 585 BC, Duke Jing of Jin moved his capital to Xintian for 209 years because of his "thick soil and deep water". The origin of Jin State is the origin of Shanxi referred to as "Jin". In Xintian, Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, which ended the history of the State of Jin and opened the prelude to the seven warring states competing for China.
The long history of Jin State left Houma with rich cultural resources. 196 1 houma jinguo site was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council. Hou Ma Meng Shu, Jin Ding, Kongbu Coin and other cultural relics of Jin State with great archaeological value are rare in the world, among which Hou Ma Meng Shu shocked Chinese and foreign historians, with 198 pieces. The splendid Jin ancient capital culture has become one of the birthplaces of Sanjin culture and even Chinese culture. In recent years, the Houma Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has made great efforts to build a green Houma, a humanistic Houma, a harmonious Houma, a wealthy Houma and a livable Houma, and made efforts to turn Houma into a regional economic core area, an urban-rural integrated demonstration area and a social harmony demonstration area.
