Mi Fu wrote and once wanted to enter Wei Jin, but his pen was too fierce to get Wei Jin's style. In fact, subjectively, this is the regret of Mi Fu, and objectively, it is the blessing of Mi Fu. Why?
Judging from the history of calligraphy, the Rice Fu of the Wei and Jin Dynasties cannot be compared with the Rice Fu of the Kai Song Dynasty. Comparatively speaking, on the rhyme of Wei Jinping and Implication, Xue Shaopeng, who was called "Mi Xue" with Mi Fu at that time, was still superior to Mi Fu. But the answer given by history is that Xue Shaopeng, who won the Wei and Jin dynasties, eventually became no match for Mi Fu and became an epoch-making calligrapher.
Xue Shaopeng's "Great Year Post"
In fact, before mi fu's early writings took shape, he learned from Tang Kai. Before entering the "Jin Wei Plain", he all studied the Tang people, with the most calligraphy, so he collected a variety of Tang book characteristics: the danger of the European Book, the pickiness of the Liu Shu, the arrogance of the Yan Shu, the circulation of the Zen Book, he was very clever to absorb various styles into his own pen, and at the same time, he secretly conformed to the trend of the times and became the master of the collection of ancient characters, but the problem came, the writing habits developed by Tang Kai became a great obstacle to his "entering the Jin Wei Plain" and "specializing in Jin People", so that he could not "enter the Jin personality" in the end.
Due to the current situation of calligraphy imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty, Mi Fu was very anxious.
Huang Tingjian commented on Mi Fu: "His book has a reckless and sloppy situation. ”
Xiang Mu said, "Rice's fierce arrogance is its shortness. ”
Mi Fu was not happy, so he explained to himself: "I am self-sufficient, put pen to play empty." ”
In fact, this real heart is extremely ambivalent about the inability to touch the Jin people after learning the Tang Dynasty.
Mi Fu "Dechen Thesis"
Mi Fu wrote in his treatise on cursive: "If cursive writing does not enter the Jin dynasty, it will become a lower product. From this passage of Mi Fu's book theory, it can be said that Mi Fu regarded "Jin personality" as the goal of his life's calligraphy. When did Mi Fu start paying attention to the calligraphy of the Jin people? At least he did not pay too much attention before he was 32 years old, the evidence is that Mi Fu "Gurudwara Dongpo was in Huanggang, inheriting the rest of the theories, and began to specialize in Jinren" in the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, when he was 32 years old, and then took the Jin personality as his lifelong academic pursuit. This sentence can also be seen in the significance of Su Dongpo to the calligraphy of Mi Fu.
Plain and loose, is a truth that Mi Fuxue Jinren did not understand until his old age.
In his later years, Mi Fuzhong's representative work, "Shu Su Ti", was a study of the "Jiwang Sheng's Order". Although he has gained something in form and knotted characters, he still reveals from time to time the brush and anger of Mi Fu's previous writings. Sometimes in order to contain some, it seems hesitant to use the pen slightly, and there are some delays in the pen. Mi Fuxue 'Ji Wang Sheng's Order of Teachings' and Wang Xizhi never talked about people, in addition to the secrets that were not passed on, because although there was great progress after "specializing in Jinren", they were never able to achieve "entering the Jin personality".
"Shu Su Ti" in the later years of Mi Fu
Scattered to the point of beauty, Mi Fu finally understood this truth in his old age, "the old has no other things to suit the mind, the angel is dead and the same pen is yan", the style of writing has converged compared with middle age, and there is a dull interest in Jin Wei. "Growing up with a family". Mi Fu said, "Tang Taizong learned that the right army could not reach ... Therefore, he scolded Zi Jing", and he himself, because he studied Wang Xizhi hard and could not reach the goal of "entering the Jin personality", he also scolded the "Second King" in his later years. Of course, this is also its own style, and its "eight-sided strike" is exactly where the "two kings" are broken.
