Old Zhao from the house next door
1254-1322, named Zi'ang, Han nationality, also known as Songxue Taoist, also known as Crystal Palace Taoist. In his middle age, he was appointed Mengfu. A native of Wuxing, Zhejiang (now Huzhou, Zhejiang). A famous calligrapher, painter, and poet from the late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Yuan Dynasty, he was the eleventh grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and the direct descendant of Qin King Zhao Defang.
Zhao Mengfu was erudite and talented. He was good at poetry and prose, understood economics, was good at calligraphy and painting, was good at epigraphy and stone, knew laws and regulations, and understood appreciation. In particular, he achieved the highest achievements in calligraphy and painting, creating a new style of painting in the Yuan Dynasty, and was known as the "Crown of the Yuan Dynasty". He is also good at seal script, official script, Zhen script, Xing script, and cursive script, and is especially famous for his regular script and running script. His calligraphy style is charming and elegant, with strict structure and mature writing skills. He created the "Zhao style" calligraphy and is known as the "four masters of regular script" together with Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan.
The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty had been in turmoil for a century and a half, settling in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, it fell to the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhao Mengfu, a relative of the Song Dynasty, followed the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and boarded a boat to sail northward from his hometown. He entered the capital as an official, became a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and was honored as a doctor. He enjoyed all the honors during his lifetime. After his death, he was granted the title of Duke of Wei, with the posthumous title of Wenmin.
It is incredible that a person from the former Song Dynasty could not only keep his head, but also live in such a respectable manner.
Some people say that he has the great wisdom of forbearance, while others say that he is servile and surrenders to save his life.
What kind of person is Zhao Mengfu? This is a too complex issue, and for more than 700 years everyone has been debating it without any conclusion. So let’s simply talk about his calligraphy!
Let’s first take a look at what the ancients thought of his calligraphy
Yu Ji concluded: “Songxue’s regular script won the title of “Luo Shen Fu”; "The Preface to the Holy Teachings" was entered into his room; as for the cursive script, it changed its shape after being filled with "Seventeen Posts". Zhen, Cao, Xing and Diancao are the best in the contemporary era, and Xiaokai is the best among all Ziang's calligraphy."
The contemporary Ma Zonghuo said in "Shu Lin Ji Shi": "Zhao Ziang of the Yuan Dynasty dominated the world with his calligraphy. He was able to write 10,000 words a day, and his reputation was so great that monks from India came from tens of thousands of miles away to ask for his book and return it to their country as a treasure. ”
Now, let’s take a look. How beautiful the character Zhao is, so praised by people throughout the ages.
