Huang Tingjian (1045--1105), also spelled Lu Zhi, was a native of Fu weng, Hongzhou Fenning (present-day Xiushui County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province), a famous writer and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was the founder of the Jiangxi poetry school at the height of the moment, and was known as "one ancestor and three sects" (Huang Tingjian was one of them) with Du Fu, Chen Shidao, and Chen Youyi. Together with Zhang Qi, Chao Shuzhi and Qin Guan, they all studied under Su Shimen and were collectively known as the "Four Bachelors of Sumen". In the first year of Shao Sheng's reign (1904), because of the falsehood of the pre-revision of the Records of the Divine Sect, he demeaned Fuzhou beiqi and Qianzhou to settle. In the fourth year of Chongning (1105), he died in Yizhou (Yishan County, Guangxi), at the age of sixty, and in the first year of the reign of Deyou Yihai (1275), the Taichang Temple discussed the "Wenjie".
The cursive "Biography of Lian Po Lin XiangRu Lie" is one of Huang Tingjian's masterpieces, and this article is also a famous passage in Sima Qian's "History", which narrates the story of Lin Xiangru, the minister of the Zhao state during the Warring States period, who put the overall situation first and then had a personal vendetta.
Regarding the time of the creation of this cursive work, Mr. Shui Laiyou, in the "Complete Collection of Chinese Calligraphy • Huang Tingjian Scrolls", believes that the book was written in the second year of Shaosheng, and it was when GuGu was questioned for the "Records of the Divine Sect". Perhaps for Huang Gu, the text content is the soul of this work, representing the valley's contemplation of its own mentality, and writing this biography undoubtedly played a pinprick role in the party and political arena during the Yuan Dynasty.
Huang Tingjian's "Lian Po Lin Xiang Xiang Li Biography", the text is more abridged than the original text. On paper, 32. Five centimeters, horizontal one eight two two centimeters. John. John, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Clauver Hide. There is no written chronology and historical paragraph at the end of the volume. Inside the volume are the seals of "Neifu Shuyin", "Shaoxing", "Lianzhu Seal", "Nei province Zhai", "QiuYuan Book", "Ouyang Xuanyin", "Xiangzi Jingjia Collection", Li Tingjing, Zhang Daqian and other seals, as well as Xiang Yuanbi. Books such as "Shigutang Calligraphy and Painting Examination" and An Qi's "Black Edge Huiguan" are all written.
Su Dongpo has a cloud in "BaoLu Zhi for Wang Jinqing's Small Book Erya": "Lu Zhi uses the concept of equality as a side character, uses the real phase to play the game method, and uses the book of Lei to drop people's books and small things, which can be described as three antis." The number of the eastern slope can be described as the magic of the valley knot in a word, and Huang Tingjian, on the basis of inheriting the tradition, boldly innovated, and was unique in the knot cloth white, forming his own style.
The middle palace is tightly knotted and open around. In the cursive work of "Lian Po Lin Xiang Xiang Zhuan", Huang Tingjian pays special attention to the knotting of the middle palace in the structure and the opening of the surroundings, and in the treatment of the knots, it adopts the method of tightening the knots in the middle palace and opening and placing them around, which is similar to the radiation-style glyph structure method, breaking through the four-sided and square knot shape since the Wei and Tang Dynasties.
They are born together and are not bound. Just as Su Dongpo's inscription "Lu Zhi with the concept of equality as a side character", Huang Tingjian's horizontal painting is uneven, the vertical painting is also tortuous and incorrect, cursive is different from other writing styles, in addition to the need to have skilled pen and ink skills, but also need to have the ability to grasp the overall virtual reality, space, rhythm changes, talking about the whole, which involves the arrangement of chapters.
First of all, the treatment of breaking and connecting: Huang Tingjian said in the third volume of "Wu's Calligraphy and Painting": "There is a disconnection and a break, and there is a disconnection. This is Huang Tingjian's unique insight into the two artistic treatment methods of breaking and even, specific to his cursive work "Lian Po Lin Xiang Xiang Zhuan", we can clearly see how Huang Tingjian deals with the contrast between broken and even when dealing with the overall chapter layout.
Treatment of ink color changes: The dry and wet changes of ink colors are of great significance to the rhythm and virtual reality of the overall chapter. In the work "Lian Po Lin Xiang Ru Biography", Huang Tingjian has repeatedly used dry brushes in a large area to form a number of white blocks, which form a strong contrast with the heavy ink blocks before and after him, and at the same time play an important role in expressing the light and heavy rhythm of the overall chapter.
