Heavy | The power of a thousand winds: Although the talent died early, he created his own ethereal and elegant, sparse and elegant style of writing
Ming Dynasty famous ink masterpiece "Wang Pet Book Wang Changling Poem".
Wang Yu, together with Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, and Chen Daofu, was known as the "Four Talents of Wuzhong". His books follow the tang dynasty ancient law, win with ancient clumsiness, hide cleverness in clumsiness, create their own ethereal and ancient elegance, and loosen the style of writing.
In the fifth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Pet, at the request of a friend, recorded twelve poems by Wang Changling, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. According to the narrator in the post-volume language, this effect paper is Wu Zhongxin's blue powder paper. The full volume is 28.1 cm long and 635.6 cm wide, from the collection of the Shanghai Museum.
Wang Pet (1494-1533), Chinese calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty. Zi Luren and Lu Ji were from Yayishan, a native of Wu County (now part of Suzhou, Jiangsu). For the sake of Yi Zhusheng, Gong into Taixue. Wang Was a polymath, a seal engraver, good at landscapes, flowers and birds, and his poetry was highly renowned at the time, especially the title of the book.
Wang's poems and paintings are exquisite. Calligraphy began to learn Cai Yu, later standardized jin and Tang, calligraphers Yu Shinan and Zhiyong, and Wang Xianzhi, who studied calligraphy, and integrated it. Xiao Kai is particularly refined, and Jian Yuan is ethereal. Its name is also called Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming. He Liangjun's "Treatise on the Four Friends of The Book" commented on his book: "After Hengshan Mountain, calligraphy should be wang Yayi as the first. Gai Qi's books are in the Great Order, and the character is high, the cover is super elegant, and it is different from everyone. He is the author of "The Collection of YayiShan People". There are many handwritten works, including "Poetry Volumes", "Miscellaneous Poetry Volumes", "Thousand Character Texts", "Nineteen Ancient Poems", "Li Bai Ancient Style Poetry Volumes" and so on.
"A Thousand Words", ink on paper, cursive. This thousand-word text, where there are 104 lines, the number of words on each line is different, a total of 1015 words. Length 28 cm, width 463.6 cm. Collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. "Baoyunlou Calligraphy and Painting Record". The body of this "Thousand Character Text" is stable, and the pitch side has not changed much, and the trajectory of his teachers Chengwang Xianzhi and Yu Shinan can be glimpsed. This post not only has the style of the Father and Son of the Wang Clan in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but also has the beautiful and lustrous atmosphere of Yu Shinan in the early Tang Dynasty, and the atmosphere of softness and inner rigidity in the early Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of using the pen, its grass is peaceful, clean and clean, meticulous, the gesture is solemn and refined, there is little connection between the strokes, the words are independent, and they are not connected to each other. Looking at this book, it is elegant and plain, generous and generous, and the grass method is rigorous.
Exploring the "sparseness" of Wang Pet's calligraphy actually comes from his unique life experience, character cultivation and aesthetic pursuit.
From Zhengde Gengwu (1510) to Jiajing Xindi (1531), Wang Pet failed to pass the eight examinations. Among the friends around Wang Pet, some chose to be wandering skeletons, such as Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin and Chen Chun; some chose patience, such as Tang Zhen; some chose to live in seclusion, such as Lu Zhi. Wang Pet chose to live in seclusion, immerse himself in poetry and books, run away from the forest, read for twenty years on the top of the stone lake, and talk about karma in the Lengya Mountains. As Yun said in his "Xingshuzha": "Although the family is poor, the scenery of the Yuexi River is getting better and better day by day, and the hope is like a picture, and this alone comforts the ears." ”
The book is the voice of the heart, and naturally, this "unemotional" state of mind of Wang Pet is reflected in his pen - sparse and ethereal and elegant. This kind of skillful and natural calligraphy skills and Xiao Shan's free and elegant play mentality are the results of his repeated failures in scientific examinations, and then indulge in calligraphy and painting and love for landscapes.
At the same time, Wang's noble character cast his calligraphic character. Wang Shizhen, in the "Xiang Zan" written for Wang Pet, called him "good as a virtuous word, not as obscene" and "not as good as a person who has learned, so he is happy to be attached to it". After the death of Wang's pet, Gu Xuan said in memory of this deceased friend: "Qingyi is incorruptible, there is no competition with things, and people are like Huang Shudu." The honorable official Su Ru was friendly and friendly, and he was not happy with his gentleness." Although Wen Zhengming and Wang Pet are teachers and students, and wang pet is 25 years old, Wen Shi values the noble character of Wang Pet, folds his generations and makes friends, and becomes a close friend who frequently travels and sings poetry. In his Epitaph written for Wang's favor, Wen Zhengming praised him as "a gentleman, bright and clean, a gentleman and a gentleman, and disdainful of all things that are good and profitable in the world." Where there is a will, there must be one who rises above words. "It's a real word.
Wang Pet's living environment and character cultivation have jointly contributed to the cultivation of his aesthetic psychology and calligraphy interest. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuefan once said: "The Yayi Book contains beauty, probably similar to its personality." "It points out the relationship between his character and the book. Wang's mentality of being high and dusty has nurtured his sparse and elegant artistic aesthetic psychology, just like his poetry, everywhere is the desire for seclusion and disdain for the life of wealth and nobility--he slowly conveys to us the sense of tranquility, elegance, loneliness and distance from the world with his brushstrokes.
The "flowing" of Wang Pet's calligraphy was obviously influenced by the style of writing at that time, especially Zhu Yunming. Wang Pet and Zhu Yunming have similar temperaments and deep friendships, although the artistic propositions are not the same, but it is inevitable to learn from each other. Zhu Yunming fully released his personality in cursive writing, and used his pen and structure to open up and merge, fully demonstrating his dashing, unrestrained and enthusiastic personality. Like Zhu Yunming, Wang Pet has a unique spirit in calligraphy, although he has the experience of copying Zhu Shu, but not following the trend, but focusing on the forging of personal appearance. Before his death, he often painted his belly with his fingers, because "Zhu Jingzhao (Yun Ming) allowed me to write to the lord Qi Meng, that is, to die, how can I see this old underground" .
The reason why Wang's pet xingcao is closer to Zhu Yunming is because he not only copied Zhu Yunming, but also took the Fa Li Huailin like Zhu Shi. Wang Shimao once had an insight into the relationship between Li Huailin and zhu and Wang's calligraphy: "The Wu people absolutely valued the book of Li Huailin, the nineteen ancient poems of Xi Zhe (Zhu Yunming) and the grass method of Wang Luji's (favorite) in his later years, all of which came out of this." The blessing book is especially blessed with its abundance; Wang Cao's words of 'desire', 'strong', 'poor' and other rules are imitated, not easy to write, and he has nothing in his ancient posts. The world does not see the Book of Huailin, mr. An Zhi'er's calligraphy? Although Wen's "Stop Cloud Pavilion Post" is engraved with this book, and the pen meaning is distorted, after obtaining this volume, the essence of the true Song Dynasty, the second Mr. Er's heart seal was first seen. ”
Gu Fu said in his evaluation of Wang's late years of Xingcao's "White Bird Temple Poem": "Such as Huaisu, Ying Yuanfengzheng. When the scroll is opened, it is used as a mountain scroll, and the last paragraph is Yayiya. If you have to enjoy a long time, will you let Zhishan be famous in the world?" Although later, with the change of calligraphy aesthetic taste, Wang Pet pursued a sparse and elegant style of calligraphy, and wanted to try his best to get rid of the influence of Zhu Yunming and Li Huailin, but until the later period, the "flowing" atmosphere of his calligraphy could not be eliminated. Try to compare its "Seven Absolute Two Songs" with Zhu Yunming's calligraphy to find that the pen is greatly pressed, the words are drawn between the wires, the posture changes are varied, and the typical characteristics of Zhu's calligraphy "flowing and falling" are vaguely retained.
Wang Shizhen praised Wang's calligraphy in his later years as "small and sparse in body and rotten in heaven and bone, with a horizontal posture and a mighty trend." It's a lot of admiration. And as the contradictory unity of wandering and neglecting, how can Wang Pet's calligraphy in his later years not be the externalization of his indignant and diluted contradictory state of mind? ——The separation and contradiction between real life and personality ideals makes him feel indignant in his heart, but he is high in the dust, but under the setbacks of illness and failure, he slowly becomes diluted and becomes a gentle and jade-like gentleman. However, the contradictions and pains in Wang Pet's heart and the feelings and helplessness that he exuded from the absence of talent were ultimately hidden in his reserved words. He wrote in the "Mountain Answer Toyuzi Heavy Book": "The mountains and forests are better than those of the generations, wandering on the lake, and forgetting to return... Quite procrastinating, a little tired of landing, then the left picture and the right book, and the ancients, even if they can't understand, the words will be heartfelt, wanran alone, hungry and eating, full and playful, life is suitable for the ear. When to be rich and noble, sincere day and night private congratulations, fear of the future is not now also, still safe and hopeful! "In the midst of indignation and dilution, Wang Pet sent love to the landscape, drunkenly wrote poems, wrote quietly, and spent his ordinary and short life...
Wang Pet lived between Hongzhi and Jiajing, which was the peak of calligraphy creation in the Wumen area, and although he was the descendant of Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming, he was known as the Three Families of Wuzhong with them. Fine small Kai, especially good deeds grass. His calligraphy first copied Yu Shinan and Wang Xianzhi, and then slightly unexpected, xingshu and cursive writing reversed the uninhibited style of the Ming Dynasty, the speed of pen movement was slower, more attention was paid to the gains and losses of dot painting, and calmly wrote with calm brushstrokes, forming an ancient and elegant style, which was clumsy and clumsy, graceful and sparse. It has a calm wind god, which is unique in the Ming Dynasty. Influenced by Chung Chung and Wang Xianzhi and others, Xiao Kai used his pen to turn round and thick, and tried his best to avoid the overlap of strokes in structure, and saw ethereal spirit in simplicity. His calligraphy was first studied by Yu Shinan and Zhiyong, and the calligrapher Fa Wang Xianzhi formed his own style in his later years, with clumsiness, elegance, and elegance. Wang Pet pursues a kind of sparse and elegant charm, writing clumsily with rhyme, and "seeing the show in the clumsy" and "seeing the elegance in the clumsiness". Wang Pet was erudite, seal carving, good at landscape, his poetry was very well known at that time, especially calligraphy, he was able to do all kinds of things, with small kai, xing, grass is the best, take the Fa Wei Jin, immersed in the bell, wang, Dao Zheng gong deep, the style of writing tends to be dignified and elegant, among the Wumen sons, his calligraphy is particularly interesting, this reason is that his heart does not fall below the Tang and Song Dynasties, his hands are familiar with the Fadu, he has no crazy diseases in his pen, dot painting, knots have come from, the state of mind is broad and makes the characters open and upright, no trivial habits. His xiaokai took the Fa Zhong Xuan, Chong He yu the second king and saw light in the ancient elegance; the grass, the practice of the "Seventeen Thesis", the "Holy Order", and so on, and the form and spirit were both. In the history of calligraphy, in addition to mi fu and Zhao Mengfu, who studied Wang's right army, counted him and Wang Duo, and each had its own strengths; the swiftness of the king of Mide, the integrity of the king of Zhao, the strength of the king, and the dispersion of the king's favor. As far as the qi rhyme is concerned, the king's favor is superior, but it is regrettable that he died early, and he failed to contain harmony and harmony, and went further.
The "Three Wu Kai Fa Bao" said that its main book: "The beginning of the study of Yu Shinan, ZhiYong, and the great order of the calligraphy of Wang Xianzhi, the late festival is slightly unexpected, with clumsy trickery, combined into elegance." Graceful and far-reaching, yiyi moving, interesting for the times, several times to win the price of Jingzhao (Zhu Yunming). Wang Shizhen, a famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty, believed in the "Ten Volumes of the Three Wu Kai Fa" that Wang's "Qin Cao" was written: "It is also a correct style, the intention is quaint, the style is elegant, the so-called great coincidence is clumsy, and the calligrapher is superior." "On the Departure of the Four Friends": "After Hengshan (Wen Zhengming), calligraphy should be based on Wang Yayi as the first, covering his books in the Great Order (Wang Xianzhi), and the character of the people is high, so the charm is super easy, and it is above everyone." At that time, it was on a par with Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming. The most attractive thing about Wang Pet's calligraphy is the ethereal and comfortable feeling that comes out between the lines, and this beauty comes from the high character bred in the idyllic and comfortable life, and it is definitely not the ability and skill that can be displayed. Wang Pet died at the age of forty, and many people regretted his untimely death, lamenting that fate did not give him more time to create more perfect calligraphy. He may not be a great master in the history of books, but his loose, clean, unworldly calligraphy and pure heart are enough to make people love and miss him forever.
