In the history of calligraphy, all dynasties have had the trend of copying scriptures, and the Qing Dynasty is no exception.
During the Jiaqing period, there was a jinshi who was only eight buckets tall and full of jinglun, who was also influenced by the wind of copying the scriptures, and wrote a beautiful little kai, this person was called Guo Shangxian.
Guo Shangxian's Xiaokai was not imprisoned by the Qing Dynasty pavilion style, he was erudite in his life, and his writings were very rich, and in this aspect of calligraphy, he first learned Ouyang Qing, and then Yan Zhenqing and Chu Suiliang, which were quite famous at that time.
According to historical records, in that era, people who sought Guo Shangxian's calligraphy were endless, and even stood at the entire door: "The book seekers are all over the outdoors, and for a while, the stele and the text are not written before. ” Moreover, at that time, Korea, Japan and other countries competed to spend a lot of money to buy their ink treasures: "especially the Goryeo (present-day Korea) eunuchs competed for it", "Goryeo ginseng sellers, take ginseng to change the scale".
It can be seen that Guo Shangxian's influence at that time was deep.
He was also close friends with Lin Zexu, a national hero who was also proficient in Xiao Kai, and Lin Zexu also made an evaluation of his literary achievements: "The minister of My Min literature is a courtier, with the Jiaqing Dynasty as its prosperity." His reputation is outstanding, and he is an admirer at home and abroad, and Mr. Lan Shiguo is particularly famous. ”
Then, Guo Shangxian's most classic copy of the scriptures is Xiao Kai's "Huangting Neijing Jing".
The Huangting Neijing Jing (黄庭内景經) is a Taoist scripture, which was written by Taoists during the Wei and Jin dynasties, and was divided into two parts, namely the Neijing Jing and the Outer Jing Jing.
This is Guo Shang's first in 1824, at the age of 41, transcribed, the whole body is wide and elegant, the pen is powerful, can be called the best work above the art of calligraphy.
