On the books of all dynasties and dynasties, there are always a few prodigious figures, such as Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yan Liu'ou of the Tang Dynasty, Song Sijia of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Mengfu in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhao Mengfu (赵孟頫), courtesy name Ziang (字子安), was an official, calligrapher, painter, and poet of the late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Yuan Dynasty, and a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, the eleventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the Grandfather of the Song Dynasty, and a descendant of the Zhao Defang sect of the King of Qin.
In the Yuan Dynasty book world, Zhao Mengfu was a trend-setting figure, yuan shizu personally called him "immortal", and the Zhao body calligraphy created by him was a leader in that era.
Of course, his position in the history of calligraphy is also important, it can be regarded as a continuation of the upper and lower levels, he held high the retro banner in calligraphy, advocated the teaching of the ancients, and returned to the Jin and Tang Dynasties, that is, to absorb the essence of the ancient calligraphy to improve himself.
And his calligraphy has also had a very far-reaching impact on later generations, such as Wen Zhengming, Dong Qichang and other calligraphy masters, all have zhao Mengfu's charm in it.
In his early years of calligraphy, he learned the Siling style of "Eight Laws of Mysterious Enlightenment, Paying Attention to Ancient Elegance", which was the specialty of Emperor Gaozong of Song, and in middle age he learned "Zhong Xuan and Xi Xian Zhujia", and in his later years he learned Li Beihai.
Wang Shimao said: "Wen Minshu mostly comes from the Second King (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi), and if his body is close, he will get the right army; if he has a good posture, he will get a great order; and the Zhishu stele will imitate Li Beihai's "Yue Lu" and "Shuo Luo" style. ”
Yes, Zhao Mengfu is the best person to learn the "Second King", coupled with his own Siling body essence, as well as the charm of other families, which makes him gradually form his own style, that is, the famous Zhao style of history.
When he was 63 years old, he wrote a calligraphic work called "Shou chun Tang Ji", which integrated the penmanship of Erwang and Li Yong, writing that it was a work of fangzheng and strictness, vertical and horizontal speed, dashing and beautiful, vigorous and charming, and the Zhao style was very mature, worthy of the essence of the family as one, and the end was a top-quality work.
The main content of this work is about an old man who built a house in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, made a plaque called "Shouchun", and then invited relatives and friends to tell his life's bumpy experience, and lamented the current peaceful life.
Tie Bao, one of the four families of the Qing Dynasty, once commented: "It is a great order of rolling births, and it is also the indulgence of the Beihai, a washing away the habits of life and the habit of life, and the realm of real people and books." ” Shi Yunyu, a Qing Dynasty leader, also said: "The gesture is like a dragon, like a fast horse entering the battle, and the vertical and horizontal are not dang." ”
