Zhao Mengfu's "True Grass Thousand Character Text" is high-definition collection

Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322), also known as Zi Ang, was a native of SongxueDao, Zhejiang Province, wuxing (present-day Huzhou). Zhao Mengfu was a descendant of the Fu Sect and also held a high position after entering the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Mengfu determined his position in "Retro". Cai, Su, Huang and Mi in the Northern Song Dynasty were all famous for their calligraphy, and along with the Southern Song Dynasty, they became fashionable and did not pay much attention to calligraphy. He was in his twenties at the time of the Song Dynasty and spent most of his time in the Yuan Dynasty. In such an environment, seeing that the calligraphy tradition since the Jin and Tang dynasties was declining day by day, he advocated pursuing the Jin people far away and teaching the second king of the Fa. However, "retro" is only a thought and proposition, and it is impossible to fully return to antiquity. Zhao Mengfu's master Fa Jinren really wrote himself in the calligraphy of the Jin people, and he "made a new" under the name of "retro", which is the reason why he became the most prestigious calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty, and the reason why the "Zhao body" calligraphy influenced future generations for hundreds of years.

Zhao Mengfu has many calligraphy works, and there are all kinds of calligraphy. The most important are the letters and the lines. Zhao Mengfu's "True Grass Thousand Character Text" is not written in the date. True writing is dignified and rigorous, intended to show people the law; cursive writing is warm and rounded with pens, fine to delicate, and beautiful and simple. In addition, Zhao Mengfu's "Six-Body Thousand Character Text" is also excellent.

The Thousand Character Text is a widely circulated enlightenment reading in ancient China, written by Zhou Xingsi of the Liang Dynasty. The words of the work are popular and beautiful, and the use of allusions is rich. There are many calligraphers of the past generations who have written the "Thousand Character Text", among which the earliest and most famous one is the Zhiyong monk between Chen and Sui. According to records, when he was in Yongxin Temple, he wrote more than 800 copies of the "True Grass Thousand Character Text" and distributed them to the monasteries in eastern Zhejiang. These manuscripts (or engravings) later became models for introductory learning calligraphy.

Zhao Mengfu is the most famous person who wrote "Thousand Character Texts" after Zhiyong, claiming to have "written "Thousand Texts in the past twenty years to hundreds". Judging from the seven or eight existing works, they can be roughly divided into two categories: temporary works and creations. The former was written earlier, while the latter was mostly written in its mature mountains. This "Thousand Character Text" belongs to the former, which is basically based on Zhiyong's "True Grass Thousand Character Text" as a model, and artistically maintains the elegance and flow of Zhiyong's works.
