Those who study the calligraphy works of the Jin Dynasty understand that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy cannot be magnified, which limits the creative style of the learner. Fortunately, Yan Zhenqing changed this situation, he enlarged the font structure and gestures, and created a style of large-character calligraphy, making up for the shortcomings of the "two kings".
It is a pity that Yan Zhenqing's hand-me-down ink is extremely rare, most of them are inscriptions, and it is difficult for beginners to understand the mystery of penmanship from these inscriptions.
To learn "Yan Ti", you don't have to start with Yan Zhenqing, and copying the characters of the famous Qing Dynasty calligrapher Qian Feng is also a good choice. Qian Feng mainly learns from Yan Zhenqing, and at the same time has a slight European and Chu brushwork, and the dot painting is thick and condensed, giving people a sense of "Yan Ti" is generous and broad, and the handwriting is like the reproduction of Yan Zhenqing.
In terms of character, Qian Feng also inherited Yan Zhenqing's integrity and dared to expose corrupt officials, so he was honored as "the first perfect person in Yunnan".
Qian Feng's large-character regular script work "Regular Book Book" has a total of 42 characters, and the size of a single word is about 14 centimeters. The font of the whole volume of works is dignified and steady, the gestures are smooth and happy, the stippling is strong, the ink color is thick, the thickness and the contrast between virtual and real are clear, giving people a strong visual impact.
In addition, Qian Feng fused the "Seal Brushwork" with other people's brushwork to form his own unique style, and each stroke and painting are very worthy of deep study. Copying Qian Feng's works can help us benefit greatly in the practice and theory of calligraphy.
Chinese calligraphy is an art that has been inherited from the same lineage, and Qian Feng's ink blots are not only beneficial to those who study large regular scripts, but also to scholars of other calligraphy styles to understand the mystery of penmanship. Qian Feng's original copy of "Regular Script" is stored in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which is a very rare "rare book".
After many efforts, we have carried out an ultra-high-definition reproduction of Qian Feng's "Regular Script", using a museum-level 12-color ultra-high-definition micro-jet reproduction process, compared with the original 1:1 restoration, the font is clear, the ink color, penmanship transformation and other details are clearly visible.
