Burnt things, although there is no way to do it. Counselor Luo Shuyan got a copy of it and sent it to him. Its Wen Jia Zuo, Bing Zuo, and Zai Zuo are the same as qinyang ling; all works are the same as the scattered pans; dare to do, also do the same, and curse Chu Wen; and the remaining characters are the same as small seals. Yu said this Qin Fu also. Xinyi Ben Wei Di, Wei Ce, Su Qin said that the King of Wei: the kingdom of the great kings, south of Xu Yan, Kunyang, Shaoling, Wuyang, Xinyi. To the An King fashion for Wei You. "History of the Wei Shijia", the eleventh year of The King of An (forty-one years of the King of Qin Zhao), Qin Ba I Yi Qiu.
It should be thought that it is a new 郪. Ran Qiuqiu, Qin Benji as the Punishment Hill, and the Table of the Six Kingdoms as the Qiu Qiu. "Qin Benji" said: It is the year to attack Wei, taking Xingqiu and Huai. Xingqiu and Huai'er are connected, and they should be led by Xingqiu. Later, Gongzi Wuji said that Wei Yuyun was qin yeyang, kunyang and wuyang neighbors. At that time, Yeyang and Kunyang belonged to Qin, and Wuyang belonged to Wei. Xinyi was in the east of Wuyang, and in the middle of it was Chen Yi of Chu; when Chu was in the capital of Chen, Qin could not cross Wei and Chu and take Xinyi in the east. In the fifty-fourth year of King Zhao, Chu migrated to Juyang; in the fifth year of the First Emperor, he migrated to Shouchun, and Xinyi entered Qindang before and after this. However, this symbol should be a thing for the first twenty or thirty years of Qin and Tianxia.
Luo Zhenyulin"New Tiger Rune"
In the last years of Guangxu, when Fan Shouxuan, a cultural relics merchant in Weixian County, Shandong Province, was preparing to cross the river at a ferry port in Shandong, he saw several children playing on the shore, one of whom was dragging on the ground with a rope and running in front, and several children in the back were chasing and shouting happily. The dragging thing grinding on the ground was particularly crisp. This caught Fan Shouxuan's attention, and he chased after it and picked up the "thing" and saw that it was a copper thing, stained with dirt and rust, and the weight was not light. So he gave the children some money to buy it. After taking it to the house and after processing and repairing, it was learned that this was the first tiger charm found in China.
The site of Xinqi is located in Chengkengzi Village, 3 kilometers northeast of Zhao Miao Town, Taihe County, Anhui Province, and is known locally as Qianchengzi. According to the "Chronicle of Taihe County", "The ruins of the ancient city of Xinhao are in Zhangge Township, 30 kilometers north of the present-day county seat, commonly known as the Song Dynasty. During the Warring States period, it was Wei Province, and Su Qin said that king Xiang of Wei had a new county in the south, and that after the Jin Dynasty, Song County was set up here." The eastern city wall and moat are still faintly visible.
The content of the "New Tiger Rune" is an order, the words are concise and brilliant, and the shorter ones are such as chuanguo Yuxi's "Ordered by Heaven, that is, Shou Yongchang", which embodies the characteristics of Chinese character phonology and conveys the view of "Mandate of Heaven" in Chinese culture. Because it is a "soldier's symbol", the pen is round and stable, the knot body is symmetrical and solemn, and the style is solemn and solemn. Each line of crosses is arranged neatly and tightly, awe-inspiring. Its salient feature is that it is used together in circles, but rarely appears in the same glyph, but one word is extremely round and another is the same word polar square, which has both contrast and echo, forming an organic "sequence". If compared with the stone drum text or the small seal, the trajectory of the evolution of the text is clear at a glance.
From the "gong stability" of the original work to the "gong stability" of the linzuo, they are already different from each other, the tiger rune text is solemn, Luo Zhenyu is elegant in temperament, and is not limited to the original appearance, the most obvious is the opening "A" character, there is no complete simulation of the meaning. More importantly, the same words in the original instrument, such as "A, Fu, Ten, Hui, Wang", etc., have hardly changed, just like the process of reproduction, and in the temporary work, all the same words have subtle changes. From the meticulousness of the original instrument to the shulang of the pre-work, the difference between the taste of gold and stone and the atmosphere of the scroll can be seen. This spontaneous change of inspiration is transformed from the beauty of the craftsman to the beauty of the literati.
The inheritance and development of seal books must take full account of the laws of seal law. In the process of development and evolution of the seal book, there are some "alienation" or even "grass-roots" phenomena, however, the "right vein" of the continuation and development of the past generations has always paid attention to the "law". Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, the only one who could really create and lead a new style was Deng Shiru, not Zhao Miguang, Fu Shan and Yang Fa, etc., which can be associated with the roughness of the brushwork and blind doping of brushwork such as xingcao and Wei Stele in the current seal book. From a historical point of view, the present and the future should also be inherited and carried forward in accordance with the established laws.
Needless to say, it is far more difficult to produce a new seal law than cursive writing. Because cursive writing is dynamic, there will be many combination points, and the seal book is static, and the system is complex, not only oracle bones, gold text, but also Qin seal, Han seal and other classifications.
The key to Luo Zhenyu's success lies in having a certain "sense of work". In copying, this must be consciously cultivated, which is tantamount to cultivating the inevitable path of maintaining the greatest interest in calligraphy, thus realizing the transition from copying to creation. The consciousness of the work is the classical consciousness, the non-utilitarian consciousness. Many habits are cultivated by copying. If the copying is too casual, it can only be regarded as copying, and it should focus on establishing a "holistic awareness", adhering to long-term formal training, developing the habit of overall grasp, and being targeted. The ancients did not have similar concepts such as creation and works, that is, writing, and the highest level of this "writing" was the pursuit of reason, including philosophical reason, ethics, and artistry. Although art is not a philosophy, nor is it some kind of preaching, it is essentially an extension of philosophy.
Luo Zhenyu (1866-1940), calligraphy good seal, li, kai, xing, is the first person to enter the oracle bone into the book. He is the author of "The Essence of Gaochang Murals" and "Yin Ruins Book Deed".
Ink Edge Tips
1. The seal book is the most rigorous of all the books. Try to avoid "bighand" when copying.
2. Before copying, read more posts, memorize the glyphs and strokes in mind, and do it with the intention of writing first.
3. Some people argue that when copying, the handwriting before casting should be speculated to "return its original appearance", but it is not necessary. Copying the golden text is to use pen and ink to show the taste of gold and stone: First, write metallic gas. Jin Wen has no stone qi, only jin qi, which is an important feature, and without this, Jin Wen cannot talk about it. During the casting of the inscription, after back and forth inverting the mold, the strokes are rougher and the intersections are thicker. This is unique to Jin Wen; the second is the pursuit of weathering and rust, mottled and vast, and strange and wanton.
4. Copy this work stability seal book, with wolf with thick ink, highlighting the strength and spirit of the strokes.
