When it comes to the famous calligraphers of Hunan during the Republic of China, many people may think of Tan Yanmin first. There is no doubt that Tan Yanmin's calligraphy is well known for its good, especially since he is very good at writing Yan Ti Italics, and is known as "modern Yan Shu everyone". Tan's family was born into a scholarly and talented, and later entered Hanlin, so his Linchi pen strength is not bad. However, the representative of this calligraphy and painting class wants to introduce Zhao Hengti, who is also a Hunan native.
In some ways, Zhao Hengti and Tan Yanmin can be described as extremely similar, of course, it can also be said that they are enemies. For example, both were born in keju (Zhao Juren and Tan Jinshi); both had fought against the seal and participated in the second revolution together, and both were military and political leaders in Hunan; Tan was once the governor of Hunan and was later replaced by Zhao; but the two did not contradict each other in their views on governing Hunan, Tan wanted to "return the Xiang people in Xiang affairs", and Zhao introduced the Hunan Democratic Provincial Constitution, he became the first democratically elected governor of China, and also claimed to inherit "Tan Gong's unfinished ambitions".
Of course, the main thing is that both are very good at calligraphy. Tan Yanmin was good at writing Yan Kai, and Zhao Hengti was good at writing Lishu, and Zhao Hengti's Lishu was a must at that time, but later due to various reasons, his calligraphy was rarely mentioned.
Zhao Hengti's Lishu Yun pen is full of twists and turns, the structure is rigorous and natural, but the pen is changeable, and the dot lines have their own forms, showing their profound achievements! Its Lishu or Kuanbo Quaint, Cangjin Loose, or Round And Mellow, Stroke Flowing Is Very Golden Stone! Moreover, most of Zhao Hengti's books are self-composed poems, so they do not resemble ordinary military generals, but on the contrary, they have a strong literary atmosphere (after all, they are from a human background).
What is more interesting is that Tan Yanmin lived in Shanghai for a long time after being expelled by Zhao Hengti, and Zhao Hengti was forced to step down by Tang Shengzhi and also lived in seclusion in Shanghai for 10 years, during which he studied Buddhist chanting and even rescued Master Xingyun...
Back to the main topic, let's enjoy Zhao Hengti's calligraphy works together——
