Although Zhao Mengfu's inkblots have been passed down through the generations, large-character works are extremely rare. The following zhao Mengfu's calligraphy works, it is not difficult to see the depth of its big character kung fu.
This work is Zhao Mengfu's "Picture of the Stacked Mountains of the Inscribed Tobacco River", which is the work of the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Yi (in shanghai museum). What Zhao Mengfu actually wrote on the inscription on the painting was a poem by the Northern Song Dynasty Su Dongpo inscribed Wang Yi's "Stacked Mountains of the Yanjiang River":
Thousands of peaks on the river are worried, and the floating sky is like clouds of smoke.
The mountain is far away, and the smoke and clouds are still scattered.
This Painting of Zhao Mengfu's inscription Su Shibao, which is stored in the Collection of the Liaoning Museum, is very different from the common Zhao Shu's gentle and gentle style. Therefore, it is worth combing and pursuing the style characteristics of the work, and it is also a barrier that learners need to pass.
From the perspective of calligraphy style, Zhao Mengfu at this time has fully displayed a mature calligraphy style, and representative works such as "Chibi Fu" and "Wu Xingfu" are skillful with pens, beautiful and flowing, and the writing is very natural.
In this work, Zhao Mengfu uses a smooth and clean pen, with beautiful bones, and the gestures are unrestrained and the swing is very casual. Therefore, the time when Zhao Mengfu wrote the inscription of Su's poem was about the same as the time when he painted the "Heavy River Stacked Mountain Map", that is, when he was 50 years old.
The calligraphy of this inscription is free and unrestrained, simple and far-reaching. Therefore, this work of Zhao Mengfu is indeed a rare masterpiece, which not only allows us to see the diversified style of Zhao Shu, but also see the true and frank side of Zhao Mengfu's personality.
Interpretation: The river is sad and thousands of mountains, and the floating sky is like a cloud of smoke. ShanYe and Yunye are far away, and the smoke and clouds are still scattered on the mountain. But I saw that the shores were dark and dark, and there were hundreds of flying springs in the cliffs. The haunting stone reappears and goes down to Taniguchi for Benchuan. Kawahira Mountain is cut off at the foot of the forest, and Kobashino shop is in front of the mountain. Pedestrians cross the trees slightly, and the fishing boats swallow the sky with a leaf of the river. Where did the king get this book? Embellished with a little bit of clarity. I don't know where this situation is in the world, so I just want to buy two acres of land. Jun is not seen, Wuchang Fankou is a good place, and Mr. Dongpo stayed for five years. The spring wind shakes the river and the desert, and the twilight clouds roll rain on the mountain Juanjuan. Danfeng (traditional Chinese character for perching) crow accompanies the water, and the long pine falls snow to sleep during the day. Peach blossoms flowing in the world, wuling must be gods? The country and mountains cleared my dust, although there was no way to find a way. Also jun this painting three sighs, the old man in the mountain beckoned me to return.
