In modern Yan calligraphy, Hua Shikui, Qian Nanyuan, and Tan Yanmin can be said to be Xiao Chu who learned Yan. However, in addition to these three people, there is also an underestimated or even overlooked Yan Kai famous artist, he is Yan Xishan's secretary Jia Jingde! As a lifelong political veteran, Jia Jingde did not use the title of the book, but his Yan body calligraphy is considered to be a person who is "good at writing Yan Kai and has the charm of Yan Kai" in modern times, and even has the evaluation of hua, qian, and Tan.
For Jia Jingde's Yan body calligraphy, some people say that he learned the Yan body of Qian Nanyuan, and some people say that he has both the charm of Yan Lugong and the legacy of Qian Nanyuan, and he has a fight with Tan Yanmin, but he seems to have added some Weibei brushwork to it. Quaint atmosphere, dignified but not flexible, calm and ethereal! Strong skill, dot painting conveys the spirit.
However, the majority of book lovers have mixed praise for Jia Jingde's calligraphy. It is said that this kind of word will prolong life by looking at it a few times a day, and if it is used to write the couplets on the middle hall, it is better, and the natural simplicity is permeated with a strong sense of historical vicissitudes, both charm and wind bone; some say that although there is a warm meaning, but it is slightly less wild; there are also said that the shape of the character is in place, but because it does not dare to have a simple and deep tone of the pen, it will appear somewhat rigid.
In fact, the famous artists who wrote Yan Kai in ancient and modern times will have all kinds of deficiencies and regrets, if not, can they all reach the height of Yan Lugong? However, objectively speaking, Jia Jingde's calligraphy has a history of ancient history, philosophical thinking and literary talent (the content of calligraphy is mostly self-composed poetry), which is worth affirming as good calligraphy.
Back to the main topic, let's enjoy Jia Jingde's calligraphy works together——
Jia Jingde (1880-1960), the character Yuru, the number Taoyuan, is a good scholar. He was the eternal secretary general of Yan Xishan and the last mourner. Jia Jingde's calligraphy, along with Yu Youren, Liang Hancao and Ji Zigao, was once known as the "Four Masters of Chinese Calligraphy". The calligraphy community believes that his character "good at writing Yan body is the most evocative", in addition, especially the tombstone of Mr. Yan Shutang Ziming of Shudan and the original Lady Qu, which was called "Three Absolute Monuments" by the people of the time.
