What is the most important thing in learning calligraphy? Is it talent? Or an opportunity? Or effort? Or meet a good teacher?
We look at the generations of calligraphy masters found that these elements are indispensable, no calligrapher is behind closed doors to practice, only under the practice of good opportunities and suitable methods (famous teachers) can become a family, then how high and how far can go, rely on their own talent and efforts!

Zhao Zhaoxing's book "Bai Ju Yi Poems" is a long volume
There are many diligent calligraphers in the history of calligraphy, such as Zhang Zhi Linchi learning that the water in the pool is black, for example, Wang Xianzhi wrote 18 tanks of water, such as Mi Fu pen ploughing, the big Chinese New Year's Eve is still writing, such as Su Dongpo practicing for eight hours a day, such as Song Ke writing 10 knives of paper a day...
In the history of calligraphy, there is such a calligrapher, can be said to be the most diligent, his profession is the emperor, the emperor with the best writing in Chinese history, surpassing Tang Taizong, not losing to Song Huizong, he practiced calligraphy for 50 years, without a day break, and finally became a "generation of calligraphy"!
He was Emperor Gaozong of Song!
The influence of Emperor Gaozong of Song was definitely greater than that of his father, Emperor Huizong of Song, only because Emperor Huizong died because he liked Hanmo, so he was more "well-known"!
In the more than 150 years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhuo's calligraphy influenced an era, and he led the calligraphy style of the Southern Song Dynasty and later generations with his extremely comprehensive artistic attainments and extraordinary calligraphy skills, and was a real "generation of calligraphy"
Emperor Gaozong of Song's calligraphy efforts were astonishing, as he said in his book Han Mozhi:
"In the past fifty years, I have not given up my pen and ink for a day, so I have fun in my later years, horizontally and straightly, and I can do whatever I want."
He said that during his 50 years on the throne, he did not give up writing for a single day, and by the end of his life, calligraphy had become a pure fire, reaching the realm of "doing what the heart wants without overstepping the bounds"!
Song Gaozong Zhao's calligraphy, writing, and cursive are enough to stand alone in the entire two Song dynasty books, and his writing is particularly exquisite, and he first learned Mi Fu and Huang Tingjian, and then chased from the court to the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and obtained the source of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and wrote the wind god very beautifully, and the form and god were all prepared!
Emperor Gaozong has been immersed in the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's father and son for many years, and starting from the rice character to go deep into the "Second King" portal is also the path of many latecomers to learn books, but it is rare that Emperor Gaozong can go so deep and so far!
For example, his biographical book "Bai Ju Yi Zi Yong Poem", tactful and beautiful, beautiful and superb, out of the rice character into the "two kings", can be called a moment!
Song Gaozong's calligraphy work "Bai Ju Yi Shi" is one of the earliest large character lines in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and there is no ink left in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, only Mi Fu has about two inches of large character lines, and such as Emperor Gaozong's "Bai Ju Yi Poems" 4 inches (more than 13 cm) such a large line book is extremely rare.
Contemporary people learn the big character line book, can not simply enlarge the "two kings" character to write, the "two kings" system of large characters and small characters are two penmanship system, learning big characters can start from the Song people, understand its large character pen method and knot method, Song Gaozong's big character line book "Bai Ju Yi Poem" is the supreme classic in the Song Dynasty big character line book!
Many people say that this work was written by Mi Fu or Huizong, but in fact, it is not, this role is precise and steady, the knot is elegant, there is no mi fu's kind of madness, nor the overwhelming trend of Huizong, gentle and elegant, the intention is ancient, but there is no doubt about The true handiwork of Emperor Gaozong!
The work is 28cm long and 451cm horizontal, and is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
