Text/Muyun Xuan Wang Baihui
The previous article promoted Wen Zhengming's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" written at the age of 89 a year before his death, which was quite wonderful, really old and pure.
As the saying goes, "The calligraphy of Xi is good later". This is true of the great scholars of the ancient world.
Today, I would like to introduce another heavyweight in the ming dynasty, Zhu Yunming's masterpiece "Shushu" of Zhang Cao in the year of his death.
The controversy over who was the first calligrapher in this dynasty has been controversial throughout the ages. In the Song Dynasty, Su Shi said many times seriously: "Cai Junmo is the first in this dynasty." In the face of some people criticizing Su Shi's calligraphy, Huang Gu shouted loudly: "Dongpo residents are the first in this dynasty."
In the Ming Dynasty, there were also many opinions, but there was a saying that had been circulating for a long time, that is, "Zhuzhi Mountain was the first in this dynasty".
Zhu Yunming's cursive "Zhen Zhen Citation" part
Wang Shizhen, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said: "The Book of The Law of heaven belongs to Wu Wu, and JingZhao Zhu Yunming is the most, followed by Wen Zhao zhengming and Wang Gongtu. ” The Qing Dynasty calligrapher Wang Shu also strongly supported Zhu Yunming: "There are many Ming calligraphers, there are thousands of papers together, but the Jingzhao Book is full of changes, and it is impossible to see the number of Jingzhao Books, and there are no same people, and the letters are the first-hand ones."
Zhu Yunming has an important feature - the six fingers of the right hand. Therefore, he also called himself "Zhishan" and "Zhizhisheng". I don't know if it was because of the six fingers that made him shine in calligraphy. God help, others can't help.
On the road of the imperial examination, Zhu Yunming was not much stronger than Wen Zhengming. At the age of 19, he started well, but he participated in 5 township examinations, and at the age of 33, he barely lifted, which is also normal. But after that, 7 times will not be able to try, even the son has been admitted to the jinshi, the old Zhu is angry, not tested, write poetry and play calligraphy. A year of infinite art.
Zhu Yunming, together with Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing, was called the "Four Talents of Wu Zhong", and together with Wen Zhengming and Wang Pet, he was also a representative of the scribes in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. His Xiao Kai directly followed Zhong Xuan, thick and elegant, and could be listed in the list of Xiao Kai masters in the past. Cursive "along the Jin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty", and disdainful of the footsteps of Bu Zhong, Suo, Xi, and Xian, and bravely forged ahead, forming a distinct personal style, especially cursive, which can be described as a rare talent after the Yellow Valley.
For Zhu Zhishan, the wild grass may also be the emotional catharsis after his discouragement. All the unhappiness was dissolved in the pen, the dragon and snake danced wildly, and the paper was full of smoke. Then I realized that everything was nothing more than a floating cloud.
Zhu Yunming Xiaokai's "Journey to the Eastern Slope" part
However, in his later years, Zhu Yunming fell in love with Gao gu zhangcao. Unfortunately, most of his cursive titles are obscured by extravagant cursive writing and are often overlooked. Therefore, there are very few Zhu Yunming chapter grass materials that can be seen now, and there are not many engravings, let alone inkblots. I reckon that this chapter draft he wrote in the year of his death, "Shushu", may not have been seen by many people.
In the fifth year of Emperor Ming's reign (1526), the sixty-seven-year-old Zhu Yunming came to the last year of his life. In October, Kunshan Wei Chengfu congratulated Yunming, begged for the Book of Huangting, and Yunming held the Book of Illness (Qinghe Calligraphy and Painting Ship). He also wrote a small chapter of cursive "Book Description" ("Stop Cloud Pavilion Post", "Over the Cloud Building Collection Post"). In the middle of winter, Zhu Yunming composed Zhang Cao's "Later Chibi Fu" after Wen Zhengming's "Chibi Tu". On December 27, Zhu Yunming died.
In the dying year, the annals recorded two records of the creation of chapters at the same time.
It can be seen that Zhang Cao occupies an important position in the heart of Zhu Yunming in the twilight of his life.
It's just a pity that he doesn't live as long as his old friend Wen Zhengming, otherwise, he will definitely push Zhang Cao to another peak in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunming was indignant at the fact that people were reluctant to study the tradition well and called it a "slave book". He stressed in the "Shushu" that calligraphy must be learned from the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and after learning and familiarizing with the tradition, its techniques must be unique, and it should not be a slave of the ancients. At the same time, I will openly and honestly comment on the Song Yuanming scholars. It truly reflects his in-depth understanding of calligraphy.
Man will die, and his words will be good.
In the "Book", Zhu Zhishan said a lot of big truths. Who is good and who is bad, three words and two words, to the point.
I roughly edited Zhu Zhishan's "Shushu" interpretation, and if there is any error, I also ask the Fang family to correct it.
There is a passage in the "Book Description" in the ancient grass, which does not record who wrote it, or wrote it himself, but recorded it:
The book is very much like Zhang, Wang, Zhong, and Suo, and the posterity is like it, a small skin, no change, and knows it. Suitable for arresting the Tang clan, obeying the Yi family, the first Yan wei district Er I,
It is already a step forward. Song Chuneng, Shang Bingxi Yu, to the middle of the leaf, a great change of face, although the god bones contain little Jindu, nine to one residence, in its bow Shang Keer. To come in vain, to overthrow the wind, to violate the ancestors, but to change with great changes, a thousand years of canonical mo, the fall of the chongchao, He Huizhi, should also be too restless.
Jifu Haibin is cruel, upside down, one or two shouwen, strange shapes in the world, so I can't stop crying. Mongolian number son, unspedisable Jia B (Yu Wei and other generations of Keer, Shu Deng Yu people without foot language). Wu Xing single-handedly revitalized the country, all over the dynasties, returned to the Emperor Jin Tang, and Liang was a solo step. However, it is also inevitable that the vertigo of the slave book, the self-column door valve, the small tired and the perfect, the fixed beauty.
Rao (介) and Zhou (Bo Qi) belong, and can also be observed. The Second Song Dynasty was in the beginning of the country, so it was the most victorious (Ke, Chang), Chang (Song Guang) mature, Yuya Yuke. The father and son of the Song clan did not lose Handan (濂璲), Zhan Xieming in the dynasty, Zhou Lu Shou in the outside (砥態如 Teng Gong, etc., especially many did not hesitate to do it, not abandoned), the dynasty was still letting go of the wild, and The Xiyuan Yuli Benchao,

Ershen Yao Molin, Changchen striding high, and pushing himself, are all called superb scenes. The Maharajah's reputation is extremely praised, or for a while, it is true. The bachelor's work force is deep, and the more he sends, the nineteenth in the dynasty, there is also the restraint of the rope cutting, not the fullness of his god. Or there is a idle window loose pen,
It is rare for people to see it. Thorn Temple's main book hurts, and the book hurts Ya. Because of the floating, from the far and elegant. Dangerous hat light shirt, juvenile ball bow; and such as bright makeup, Qian smile opposite. Zhu Xiabang, confusing and easy to praise (Kong Yi Zhongzhao).

The official Shen Xiong (Jiang) was quite the lord, but he refused to get rid of himself. Kong Yang Rafter Shi Hand Ear, Yang Zheng Wu did not know also (I don't know why I was listed in the Library at that time). Er Chen, wall wounds, deng slightly on it. There are also Yihuang Wu Yuqing, Kunshan Weijing, less self-dust, interesting and very positive, eyes are not hollow and old ears. The Cheng clan and the Yu zi seal are good at fame, and the Si ye is rare.
Had to do with. Later, Zuo Shan Li Xiang was quite close to Qingbing (左赞 Changsha Xiang), and Li Mu and Yang Shi did not use the title of the book, but also had considerable (Chang Qi Wenzhen). In the near dynasty, the so-called Huang Han, Erqian, and Zhang Rubi were all Song people (the Song people used the voice of the Shen clan to show their affection and ink, which is still the case to this day. Jingyu is only out). Small sums of money are also possible. Han and the East Sea people are absolutely heavy on Judas and yi wei. Zhang Gongshi is still close to the previous rules.
Deacon Zuo Ge, silk after the first, bandits can know this. The talkers are Ren Daoxun, Jiang Ligang, and recently Zhou Wentong, Yipan Zhan Shen, and Gai Yiyi. Ruo Xu Wugong, Liu Xitai, Wu Wending, and Li Taixian were close to the soldiers (Wu Fei Shangjia Gui went to Qiya to Go to The Vulgar Er). Xu Liu and Wu and the Ma Punishment Department, Xiao Huangmen (Yu Xian) are also teachers of Song Yuanzhi

Too much servant's resources are high, Naite disobeys the masses, not only from the crowd, and to go to the root, or from sun zhi to turn out the nature, away from the bones, do not settle the eyebrows, cover the theory of the 'slave book' he holds, and so on.
In October, the book branch of the mountain woodcutter wished Yunming.
Zhu Zhishan's cursive "Shushu" written in the year of his death was respectfully engraved by the Wen family into the "Monument of the Stopping Cloud Museum", and with the insight of Wen Zhengming and Wen Peng's father and son, they had already seen the extraordinary features of this work. Perhaps limited to the Wen family's understanding of Zhang Cao, it is said that there have been some changes in the carving of the stone, and the true relics of Zhu Zhishan should be more quaint than these inscriptions.
During the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy for a scholar to focus on Wei and Jin. And Zhu Zhishan was influenced by zhao ziang's retro chapter grass ideology in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was too normal to have a preference for zhang cao. However, since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the real famous zhangcao masters who have left their names are still very rare. Zhu Zhishan is the famous Zhangcao artist who has been ignored and underestimated.
From the wild grass that blooms, back to the quiet chapter grass. It shows that in his later years, Zhu Zhishan began to become increasingly addicted to the style of ancient books. Write calmly, in the Han Wei style to write the state of mind of the ancients.
Zhu Zhishan said: "Meritorious and asexual, the spirit is not born; the sex is useless, and the spirit is unreal." ”
"Sex" refers to the human spirit, and "gong" refers to the ability and kung fu of calligraphy creation. He believes that there is only skill and no spiritual realm, and there is no radiance, but with a noble spiritual realm, if there is no kung fu of expression, then the radiance cannot be truly revealed. Both are indispensable and must be both.
Zhu Zhishan thus dialectically revealed the law of this artistic creation.
Gaishi Fa is ancient and dense, with a long source and deep imagery, it is a book of laws. If you really keep the six books, the ancients called it "felt fur qi"; Dongpo's so-called "parrot brother's learning stops sayings"; the valley's so-called "shrimp and toad Zen, the only jump also". Disdainful of Zhong, Suo, Xi, and Xian, he was willing to be the senior brother of Xiang Yu and Shi Hongzhao.
Looking at the Zhu Zhu Zhishan book treatise, it can be seen that he learned the ancient and did not muddy the ancient.
Never write a "slave book" when the ancients were slaves.
To learn the ancient method, we must also create the anti-rebellion of the ancients.
Zhu Zhishan's "Book Description" vaguely shows that he is a disciple of the ancients and has his own expression.
It is easy to realize "classical self-modernization" and "self-classicization".
