Chapter 99 Forest of Steles

Outside the Great Wall, the wind is blowing, and the ice has frozen across the river.

There are hundreds of waves in the vast sea, and there are thousands of miles of snow in the Yinshan Mountains.

Guard against danger and beacon fire, and use the mountains to draw heights.

Rolling the jingle leisurely, drinking the horse and leaving the Great Wall.

There are traces of riding on the cold sand, and there is the sound of breaking wind in the early morning.

Hu Chen's clear jade plug, Qiang flute's rhyme and golden zheng.

Fighting and fighting in the desert, chariots and chariots shake the wind.

The captain rebelled against Longdui, and the general returned to Mayi.

The atmosphere of Yanghui is quiet and foggy, and the stone's merits are established.

Huang Yi wears a military uniform and enters the Lingtai with a triumphant song.

——"Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Grottoes" by Li Shimin



When Bai Fu saw Xuanzong's handwriting for the first time, it was indeed vigorous and majestic. But when he thought of Xuanzong's prejudice against him, he immediately became angry and did not want to stop and look at it again.

When Taifu Xu saw it, he did not criticize it and continued to explain the next stone tablet.

"This is the "Cao Quan Stele" inscribed in the second year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is written in beautiful official script. It is well preserved and has clear fonts. It is a masterpiece among Han steles."



"The remnant stone of the Book of Changes from the Xiping Stone Classic of the Han Dynasty preserves the earliest sentences of the Book of Changes. It is said that the great calligrapher Cai Yong wrote it in official script, which is straight and neat, and is a model of Han official script."



"The "Master Daoyin Stele" written by Ouyang Tong is very similar to the "Huangfu Birthday Stele" written by his father Ouyang Xun. It has a rigorous structure and strong calligraphy. It is a famous calligraphy stele worth cherishing.

Because Ouyang Tong opposed Emperor Zetian's appointment of Wu Chengsi as the prince, he and Cen Changqian and others wept and remonstrated, and advanced to Zhexie's theory, so he asked Ruizong to be appointed the prince. His words were serious and disobedient to Wu Zhao.

In the second year of Tianshou, Lai Junchen was framed and imprisoned. Five poisons were prepared, but nothing was wrong in the end. Lai Junchen had no choice but to torture Cen Changqian's eldest son, Cen Lingyuan, and framed Ouyang Tong, Ge Fuyuan and dozens of others for treason. They were all charged with conspiracy and executed.

"Death. In the first year of Shenlong, the imperial edict was issued to reinstate him as an official; return his family property, build a temple to worship him, and provide a successor to his official position."

Combining calligraphy attainments and life experiences, Bai Fu knew that Taifu Xu was enlightening him, and was secretly moved in his heart.



The two came to Yan Zhenqing's "Duobao Pagoda Induction Monument", and Taifu Xu explained it word for word:

"Qingchen's "Duobao Pagoda Induction Stele" is majestic, powerful, majestic and dignified. The structure of the font has changed from the elongated shape popular in the early Tang Dynasty to a square, with a circle in the square, a saint inside and a king outside. The pen is strong and powerful, both

It has muscles and bones, but also has edge. This calligraphy style is majestic and has the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Qing Dynasty calligraphers first learned calligraphy from Chu Suiliang, and later from Zhang Xu. His regular script is dignified and majestic, and his running script is powerful.

His cursive script is vigorous, steady in structure, and full of dots, which is consistent with his honest and honest character. As the saying goes, the words are like the person, and the words are like the face. He is known as the "second cursive script in the world".

His self-created "Yan Ti" regular script has reached a state of perfection, with three realms: bound by spirituality, which is magnificent; cast by soul, which is strong; and bound by human fertility, which is vast.

I think that Ou, Yu, Chu, and Xue in the early Tang Dynasty are just the inheritance of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. Qingchen was the founder of the sect, and his calligraphy only complemented this magnificent era. As the saying goes, "To learn calligraphy, you should learn from Yan Qingchen

!”

Let’s talk about the Qing minister himself. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, he was awarded the title of Jinshi. In the 24th year of Kaiyuan, he was selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and appointed as the school secretary. You see, Yan Zhenqing also served as the school secretary! Haha.”

Having said this, Taifu Xu joked about Bai Fu.



"The family history of Qing officials. The "Yan Family Instructions" that today's descendants of the Chang'an family know well by heart was written by Yan Zhitui, the fifth generation ancestor of Yan Zhenqing.

Yan Zhitui was the most knowledgeable scholar in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Having experienced both the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he was well aware of the shortcomings of the politics and customs of the North and the South, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Southern and Northern studies.

Yan Zhitui wrote quite a lot, and his "Yan's Family Instructions" is the first systematic and grand family instruction in history, setting the precedent for "family instruction". The articles in the book are clear, flowing, beautiful, sparse and clean. It plays an important role in family education and moral cultivation.

Very insightful.”



The two then came to the "Preface to the Sacred Teachings of Wang Xi's Collection of Books by Huairen". This stele is about three meters high and about one meter wide. The inscription is thirty lines, ranging from eighty-three to eighty-eight characters. Taifu Xu pointed to the stele.

The text says:

"This stele is also called "Tang Ji Youjun Sacred Preface and Notes". It was written by Emperor Taizong of this dynasty. Shamen Huairen of Hongfu Temple collected the book of Jin Youjun Wang Xizhi. It was established in the third year of Xianheng.

Cavalry Lieutenant Zhu Jingzang engraved the calligraphy. Because there are seven Buddha statues engraved on the front of the stele, it is also called "The Preface to the Seven Buddhas' Sacred Religions". The stele was originally in Hongfu Temple and was later moved here. It was 19 years later than the original book of Chu Suiliang in Yanta Pagoda.

King Duowen replied to the edict, the Crown Prince wrote to the Emperor, and the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra. Huairen collected Wang Xi's books and it took twenty-five years to complete.

Although "The Preface to the Holy Religion" is a collection of characters, and the missing characters are spliced ​​together. However, due to Huairen's profound skills and caution and meticulousness, he was finally able to use his own strength and better reproduce the characteristics of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

——If it is broken and connected, it can change flexibly, such as diagonal and straight. But in the end, it is composed of characters instead of being completed in one go, so there are some shortcomings. Some characters are not coherent enough, the energy is insufficient, and the charm is not long enough.

Wang Xizhi first learned calligraphy from Mrs. Wei. Later he traveled north of the Yangtze River and traveled to famous mountains. He saw the calligraphy of Li Si, Cao Xi, Zhong Yao, Liang Hu, Cai Yong, etc., so he changed his calligraphy to his own master, cursive calligrapher Zhang Zhi, and real calligrapher Zhong Yao.

He pursued by hand, picked up the strengths of many people, prepared various styles, got the secrets, and refined them in one furnace. Then he added to the ancient methods, changed the simple calligraphy style of the Han and Wei dynasties, and became his own style. His brushwork is natural and subtle, and his strokes are powerful, beautiful, and dignified.

It is beautiful, strong and graceful. The world often uses Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu": "As graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, with glorious autumn chrysanthemums, and luxuriant spring pines. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and it floats as if

"The flowing wind returns to the snow." This sentence praises the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

First, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty commented on his calligraphy: "The calligraphy of Xi's calligraphy is majestic and majestic, like a dragon leaping over the heavenly gate or a tiger lying on the phoenix tower. Therefore, it has been treasured by generations and will always be used as a lesson."

Furthermore, Emperor Taizong of this dynasty praised: "After carefully studying the ancient and modern times, he studied the seal script carefully and found it to be as perfect as possible. Wang Yi is the only one who has less! Observe his work of dotting and dragging, and the cutting is wonderful. The haze shows the knots, and the shape seems to be broken but still connected."

, Feng Zhu, Dragon and Pan, the momentum is like an incline but it is upright. If you play it without realizing it, you will get tired. If you look at it, you will not be able to recognize its end. You will imitate it with your mind and your hands. This is just one person. The rest are just like this, so there is no point in talking about it."

Wang Xizhi's charming and vigorous calligraphy style of "peaceful ambition, neither irritation nor violence, but self-discipline" has been admired by later generations. For hundreds of years, he has been revered as the "Sage of Calligraphy" and regarded as a model.

When studying Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, you should first read the calligraphy over and over again. Carefully read "Lanting Preface", "Sangluan Calligraphy", "Kuaixue Shiqing Calligraphy" and other calligraphy writings written by Wang Xizhi, and understand the key points of his layout.

The true meaning of its words.

When you put down the pen, you should appreciate the charm of the character "Jun Gu". When you write, there must be tendons, bones, blood, veins, and flesh. The entry and exit of the pen edge should follow the strokes of the pen. The shape will be created by the pen, and the momentum will be taken by the intention.

, focus on pointillism, structure and space, and master the characters one by one, only then can you write the clear, handsome, quiet and free wind spirit of Wang character.

The reason why Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is so superb is that, on the one hand, he has mastered the techniques to the point of being "beautiful"; on the other hand, because of his love for the mountains and forests, his calm and elegant nature, he never hesitated when using his techniques.

Legal regulations, or in the process of pursuing calligraphy, have never been bound by legal regulations. It not only expresses the simplicity and profoundness of Lao-Zhuang philosophy, but also reflects the harmony of Confucianism and the mean.

Fu'er, the same is true for calligraphy and martial arts. The highest achievements in martial arts must come from the inner cultivation, equipment, knowledge and pattern of the warrior. The cultivation is the body, and the technique is the use. It is internalized in the heart and externalized in the form.

.Only when the cultivation level is perfect, the martial arts can enter the realm of transformation. As the saying goes, the inner sage and the outer king!

Therefore, any experience in life is inner cultivation. The more setbacks, the stronger the blessing! This is the meaning that suffering gives us."
