—Epigraph
The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) lasted for 12 and 16 emperors, and the state of Zuo lasted 276 years, and in order to consolidate its rule, it strengthened centralized power and ideological control. In the Ming Dynasty, calligraphy was the mainstream, and seal carving was prevalent. Influenced by the culture of scholars and doctors, the calligraphy of the Ming Dynasty was mainly based on the line and pursued the beauty of delicate and beautiful. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, calligraphy inherited the style of the Yuan Dynasty, and after Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, the style of Taige calligraphy rose. Ming Chengzu attached great importance to culture, recruited calligraphers and granted official positions, and promoted the practice of calligraphy.
Let's share the calligraphy works of the famous calligrapher Nie Danian in the Ming Dynasty.
Nie Danian (1402-1455), an official and writer of the Ming Dynasty, was a native of Linchuan, Jiangxi. lost his father at a young age, and his mother Hu raised him as an adult. He is brilliant, well-versed in classics and history, ancient Chinese and poetry, and fine in calligraphy and painting. Ten years in Xuande, he served as the instructor of Renhe County, and then transferred to Changzhou and Renhe to teach and educate talents. In the sixth year of Jingtai, he was recommended to study history in the Hanlin Academy, when he was seriously ill, he wrote poems to give to Wang Zhihou, and died in Beijing. Nie Danian devoted his life to literary education and contributed to the cultural prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Nie Danian's calligraphy draws on the strengths of others, is well versed in the essence of ancient Tang poetry, and is a family of his own. Ouyang Xun at the beginning, Li Yong and Zhao Mengfu at the beginning, have handsome gestures and unique charm. His landscape paintings, inheriting the legacy of Gao Kegong, reveal light and elegant between the brush and ink, and the charm is unique, which is intoxicating. In the land of Wu Yue, his works are widely cherished, and poetry, calligraphy and painting are all treasured. During the Hongzhi period, his protégé Shi Angji compiled his posthumous work as "Dongxuan Collection", inheriting the essence of his scholarship and art, which has been passed down for centuries.
Ming Dynasty calligrapher Nie Danian's "Annoying Post" appreciation
Ming Dynasty calligrapher Nie Danian's "Annoying Post" on paper, 22.6 cm in length and 33.8 cm in width, collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing. On the page of "Ansan Post", the collection is printed with 6 parties: "Anshan Daoren", "Gu Song", "Zhi'antang Book Seal", "Zeng Zang Zhou Zuomin Office", "Zhang Heng Private Seal" and so on.
This work is a short note written by Nie Danian to "old friends". Although it is only a few words, it reflects a certain life situation of Nie Danian - reading and making friends, poetry, wine and singing, which shows that Nie Danian, as a literati, lives a rather idle and prosperous life. The calligraphy of this work is natural and beautiful, although the dots are inadvertent, but it has the style of Li Yong Kuan and warm in the Tang Dynasty, showing the profound artistic skills of Nie's ancient method and self-transformation.
Nie Danian's handwriting is rare, and the "Annoying Post" is written very casually, but the pen is heavy and hearty, showing the afterglow of the Song people's calligraphy, which to a large extent makes up for the lack of calligraphy since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
Commentary: "Ask for the three poems of Corporal Heng Zheng Gong to be used on the leaves." The book is expected to be paid for a day or two. Last night, Yaofu had a drink, and there was also a clumsy work, begging for peace. New Year's Goodbye. From the old friend".

Ming Dynasty calligrapher Nie Danian's "Ming Nie Shouqing Ruler Poetry Scroll" appreciation
The Ming Dynasty calligrapher Nie Danian's "Ming Nie Shouqing Ruler Scroll" shows Nie Danian's calligraphy style, Jingtai period masterpiece, quite Zhao Mengfu's charm, reflecting the changes in the style of Yuan and Ming calligraphy. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, calligraphers mostly inherited the legacy of Zhao, and Nie was no exception. From Wenheng Mountain, the style of writing gradually changed, but Zhao Ti had a far-reaching influence. Dong Qichang later set up his own door, and the style of the book world changed again. Nie Zuo is not only a demonstration of the art of calligraphy, but also a witness to the evolution of calligraphy style. Scholars should trace back to the source, learn from the past and the present, and explore the true vein of calligraphy in Nie Jun's ruler.
Ming Dynasty calligrapher Nie Danian's "Lumen Hidden Map" appreciation
The Ming Dynasty calligrapher Nie Danian's "Lumen Hidden Picture", as a treasure of his landscape paintings, profoundly shows the painter's outstanding attainments and unique perspective in the field of landscape. This painting focuses on the majestic mountains and rocks and the looming pavilions, and through the exquisite composition and layout, it outlines a landscape painting that is both majestic and fresh and refined. On the picture, the mountains and rocks are scattered, with different shapes, with the work of rubbing and dyeing, showing its steepness and beauty; The pavilion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with eaves and corners, and delicate and meticulous depictions, so that the viewer seems to be able to walk into that quiet and elegant place of seclusion.
With exquisite brushwork, Nie Danian perfectly integrates the magnificence of nature with the elegance of humanity. The shades of brush and ink between the mountains and rocks are suitable, and the dry and wet are staggered, showing rich layers and textures; The details of the pavilion, whether it is the lightness of the eaves or the complexity of the arch structure, are all depicted accurately, revealing the artist's profound modeling ability and ultimate pursuit of details.
In terms of the use of color, Nie Danian is even more ingenious, with the change of ink color as the keynote, supplemented by light color embellishment, to create a quiet and far-reaching, transcendent atmosphere. The ingenious combination of warm and cold colors not only enhances the visual impact of the picture, but also profoundly conveys the painter's love and yearning for natural beauty, as well as his yearning and praise for a secluded life.
After appreciating the works of the Ming Dynasty calligrapher and painter Nie Danian, I deeply felt that his calligraphy and painting style was unique and his skills were exquisite. His calligraphy is smooth, not only has the gentleness of Zhao Mengfu, but also does not lose his personal style; The artistic conception of the landscape is far-reaching, delicate and majestic, and each stroke reveals a deep understanding and love for nature. Nie Danian's calligraphy and painting show the lofty feelings and outstanding talents of literati and artists, which is breathtaking.
Looking at the calligraphy of the Ming Dynasty, it has developed on the basis of inheriting the Yuan Dynasty. During this period, most of the calligraphers took the law from the high-minded, took the Jin and Tang dynasties as the object of study, and had a new personal face, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the peak of individualization. It was the forerunner of the complicated situation of calligraphy in the Qing Dynasty.
