Li Yong (yong, the fourth sound), born in 675 AD, died in 747 AD. The character Taihe, whose ancestral home is Guangling Jiangdu, alias Li Beihai or Li Kuozhou. It can be said that Li Yong lived in the most wonderful years, because in the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the "golden years", Li Yong created his own wonderful because of his own calligraphy charm. But why would it be said that Li Yong was "well-intentioned and insatiable"?
First of all, why it is "good intentions". Because of Li Yong's personality from childhood, he did not achieve very good achievements in his political career, but it is precisely because Li Yong is kind, gentle, and talented, and has high attainments in calligraphy and painting, so Li Yong has a very good network. It was also in this way that after Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Yong was able to become a scholar of the "Four Descendants of the Tablets" under the strong recommendation of Du Fu, so that he himself reached a realm unmatched in art. Speaking of this, we have to sigh the charm of Li Yong's calligraphy, which has both the typical calligraphy style of the Two Kings and the feeling of adding the steep golden stone inscriptions to it.
On the other hand, why is it said that Li Yong is "insatiable", in fact, this is what Comes with Li Yong's personality, and it is also the main reason for his final failure. Li Yong's achievements at that time were unmatched, and this also affected his position in the political circles, Sima Qian was able to have unique rights in the court, and Li Yong was able to compete with Sima and join Zhang Shuo as the first in the dynasty. But, despite his political and career success, he could not stop the flaws in his life — greed for money, in other words, liking money and taking bribes. Finally, it is recorded that Li Yong was caught by others and severely punished because of the extravagance and extravagance in his personality.
Li Yong and Du Fu
Li Yong (李邕), also known as Li Beihai (李北海), Li Kuozhou (李括州), was a Han Chinese. He was born in 678 and died in 747 AD, a Tang Dynasty calligrapher. Du Fu (杜甫富), courtesy name Zimei ,zimei (字子美), called himself Shaoling Yelao , was a native of Gong County , Henan ( present-day Gongyi , Henan) . Born in 712 and died in 770 AD, he was a great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty. So, what is the relationship between Li Yong and Du Fu?
In the fourth year of Tang Tianbao, Li Bai and Du Fu traveled to Qilu and left many poems. At that time, Beihai was too defensive of Li Yong and rushed to Qi Prefecture for several days to meet with Du Fu. The banquet for the meeting was arranged on the newly built Lixia Pavilion, and many literati and scholars from Qi Prefecture came to accompany them. Li Yong and Du Fu talked about wine for a long time, discussed poetry and history, and even mentioned Du Fu's grandfather Du Zhenyan. Mentioning his family, this seemingly inadvertent act made Du Fu very moved. It was at this feast that Du Fu left behind a good sentence that read, "The sea is right and this pavilion is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan." At that time, Li Yong was 68 years old and famous all over the world, and Du Fu was 33 years old and fledgling. However, Li Yonghui's eyes were pearls, and he could be said to have the grace of knowing Du Fu.
Du fu
Li Yong was not only good at poetry but also deep in calligraphy. His calligraphy was first learned by the Right Army, and he also participated in the North Stele and the Early Tang Dynasty's calligraphy and calligraphy, changing the law and drawing new, forming his own distinctive style characteristics. He excelled at writing and left behind many works. Du Fu composed a song: "Shenghua should be a healthy pen, sprinkling the Fuqing system." "Come and praise Li Yongyi's divine calligraphy." In 747, Li Yong was politically persecuted by the traitor Li Linfu and was beaten to death by a cool official. For Li Yong's death, Du Fu was devastated, and he wrote: "Potuo Qingzhou blood, Qiang Wu Wen Yang fistula" to commemorate Li Yong. Li Yong and Du Fu can be said to be heroes who cherish heroes and forget the year.
Li Yong's story
Legend has it that since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, calligraphers have taken the "Erwang Shufeng" as the first place, so all kinds of calligraphers at that time followed and devoted themselves to the true practice and the Kaifa, and Li Yong's story was also told by the "Erwang Style".
Li Yong has been famous since he was a child, and his fame is also because Li Yong began to learn calligraphy from an early age, can read, and can write "books". When Li Yong wrote, he also carried forward the style of "two kings", not only majestic and ethereal, but also more vigorous and powerful. Be able to skillfully use the characteristics of the font itself, and fall under the edge of your own pen.
Li Yong's success in calligraphy led to his political authority. Someone once said that at that time, Li Yong's Wen Neng and Sima Yi were at war, and in terms of "power", they could live side by side with Zhang Shuo. Not only that, Li Yong's strong and fierce character, who is not afraid of power, has also laid a deeper foundation in his calligraphy and life. On the one hand, Li Yong affects the works because of the edges and angles of his personality, so Li Yong's calligraphy in addition to the "wind of the two kings", more is a strong and powerful pen; On the other hand, Li Yong was not afraid of power, and to a certain extent, he could help the imperial court reduce the power of the ministers and prevent the scene of a unique show, so Li Yong also went farther and farther in the official field.
However, why did Li Yong finally die in a more tragic way? This brings us to another story of Li Yong. That is, Li Yong's story in personality. Li Yong can be said to have reached a very high position in his career, but in his personality and life, he has a fatal weakness - extravagant and extravagant, and likes to indulge in goods. To put it simply, he loves money too much, so it also leads to Li Yong's corruption and bribery, and in the end, it is also a treacherous incident, and he ends up with a bad end.
Li Yong's achievements
At the time of the Tang Dynasty, the clouds and water flowed, and the carving of the golden world was strong and strong. Li Yong's life is wonderful, so what are Li Yong's achievements?
First of all, Li Yong was born in an extremely fortunate era - the Tang Dynasty, this period, after Tang Taizong, the world is more admiring of the "two kings" style, and Li Yong with his own achievements in calligraphy, inherited the style of the two kings, and, on this basis, has its own unique charm, so Li Yong initially with his "Table of Teachers", successfully loved by Du Fu, and then decisively selected as the leader of the calligraphy industry at that time.
In addition, Li Yong is indeed the reason for becoming an "industry leader". Because, at the beginning, Li Yong's calligraphy adhered to the style of "two kings", and the style of the two kings was not distinguished. However, after continuous study, Li Yong is not limited to the style of the two kings, but also has his own charm in his calligraphy. Not only is it good at doing it, but more importantly, while walking in the clouds and flowing water, it also has both ups and downs, and the angles are clear, innovating the unique style of "North Sea Like Elephant".
Then why is it said that Li Yong is "in the world of flowing gold carving rigid fang"? In fact, it is more of a summary of Li Yong's achievements in stone stele carving. It is recorded in the Old Book of Tang that Li Yong was "famous for his talents" from an early age, and the "talents" here refer more to the praise of the inscriptions. Like Li Yong's personality, his carvings are also a stroke and a stroke, and they are not pretentious. The whole is good at Li Yong's glyph square folding and dangerous energy, and in the process of writing, it stretches vigorously, as if it is a "man with iron bones" yi yi yi.
So far, Li Yong can be regarded as a master in calligraphy, especially the various inscriptions written by Li Yong, which are second to none in both quantity and quality. For our descendants, the most famous are the "Table of Teachers" and the "Lushan Temple Stele". In addition, his "Li Sixun Monument", "Ye Youdao Monument", "Li Xiu Monument", etc. are all good calligraphies that deserve everyone's serious study.
