[The following article is 30 segmented pictures of the long volume of Huang Tingjian's cursive book "Lian Po Lin Xiang Ru Lie Biography", which will not be explained separately]
Huang Tingjian (1045-1105), courtesy name Lu Zhi, was a native of Fengning County, Fu Weng, and Qian'an, also known as Yuzhang Huang, a native of Fenning County, Song Hong Prefecture (present-day Xiushui County, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province). A famous poet, lyricist and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of the "Four Houses of the Song Dynasty", he was the ancestor of the jiangxi poetry school that flourished at the time, and was known as "one ancestor and three sects" with Du Fu, Chen Shidao and Chen Youyi, and Huang was one of them. Together with Zhang Qi, Chao Shuzhi and Qin Guan, they all studied under Su Shimen and were collectively known as the "Four Bachelors of Sumen". His poems were on a par with Su Shi before his death, and he was known as "Su Huang", including "Valley Words" and "Yuzhang Huang's Collected Writings".
Huang Tingjian's calligraphy is unique, and the calligraphy, cursive writing, and calligraphy are also in itself. The study book traces back to the Jin and Tang Dynasties, learns the classics of the predecessors, and especially admires Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and the greatest influence on it is Su Shi.
Xingshu takes the power of The Law Willow, the middle palace is compact, the strokes expand outwards, and the spear euphorbia is very masculine.
Cursive writing was first learned by Zhou Yue, and after realizing that Zhang Xuhuaisu was drunk and writing books, the reasons for writing books gradually became one. Huang Tingjian's cursive writing remains only wild grass.
The birth of the longest scroll of chinese calligraphy, the longest scroll of chinese calligraphy, and a story of Huang Tingjian learning to write cursive and finally forming his own style.
The Southern Song Dynasty calligrapher and painter Zeng Minxing (1118-1175) recorded in his book "The Magazine of Awakening Alone", which was prefaced by his friend Yang Wanli, a minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, a famous literary scholar, and a patriotic poet, together with Lu You, You Yuan, and Fan Chengda, who was called the "Four Great Poets of the Southern Song Dynasty" and also known as the "Four Great Poets of Zhongxing".
Zeng Minxing said this in the "DuXing Magazine": Yuan Youchu, the valley and Dongpo and Qian Mu's father visited the Baofan Temple of the Beijing Division. After the meal, the valley made cursive writing and counting paper, and the eastern slope was very rewarded. Mu Father watched from the sidelines: "The word Lu Zhi zigzag is close to the vulgar." The valley said, "Why?" Mu Father said, "There is no him, but I have not seen the true deeds of Huai su." ”
Qian Mu's father, Qian Xun, was 11 years older than Huang Tingjian and was the sixth grandson of King Wu of Wuyue, a native of Hangzhou. His articles are profound and elegant, his poems are fresh and beautiful, and he is the author of "Book History Will Want Liangxi Collection". His calligraphy, the main calligrapher Ouyang Inquiry, cursive calligraphy wang xianzhi. Official to the Imperial Council Doctor, Smoked on the Pillar State, Juehui Ji Commandery Founding Marquis.
Qian Mufu said that Huang Tingjian's cursive writing was a bit tacky, and that tackiness was the most serious criticism of calligraphers. So, Huang Ting insisted on teaching, what was the reason for that? Mu Father replied to him that there was no other reason, that is, there was no trace of Huai su.
Huang Tingjian was "quite suspicious", and his friend Su Dongpo admired his cursive writing, why Mu Father said this, he was very suspicious of Mu Father's judgment.
After being criticized by the great talent of the article in front of all the friends this time, Huang Tingjian never again refused to write cursive writing for people to see. There are several possibilities here, maybe they are still writing, but they just don't show it to their friends; maybe after being criticized, they really feel vague, don't know how to write, and put aside their pen.
But judging from Huang Tingjian's experience, it is more likely that he will not write. Because time does not allow it.
The gathering of friends, which was criticized by Mu Father, was held at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in the first year of the Song Dynasty (1086). At that time, Song Zhezong took the throne and summoned Huang Tingjian as a school secretary and a reviewer of the Records of the Divine Sect, and his main task was to revise the Records of the Divine Sects. Also in this year, Huang Tingjian's mother fell ill in bed. Huang Tingjian's temperament is filial piety, to what extent is filial piety, going home from work, checking the colors day and night, and untiing his clothes.
The following year, Huang Tingjian was promoted to the rank of Shushiro and Jia Jixian. After the completion of the Records of the Divine Sect, he was promoted to the rank of dweller. This year, my mother died of illness. According to Huang Tingjian, "He built a room to guard filial piety next to the tomb, and he almost died of grief and illness." ”
After the mourning clothes were lifted, Huang Tingjian was promoted to secretary Cheng (丞), a Ming Daoist official, and a reviser of the history of the country. Soon after, he was finally framed for repairing the Records of the Divine Sect and was demoted to Fuzhou.
During this time, Huang Tingjian should be mentally and physically exhausted, extremely sad, and had no intention of learning to write cursive.
When did Huang Tingjian start rewriting cursive?
During his debasement, he saw Huai Su's wild grass "Self-Narration Post" at the home of Shi Yangxiu, who was fond of calligraphy and painting, after The Tang Bingbu Langzhong Zhonglan. Borrowed to the point of forgetting to eat.
"Since then, the epiphany grass method, the next stroke of the pen has flown, which is very different from what Yuan You has written before, and what he has done before he has been aware of is too revealing. I believed that Father Mu's words were not false, and Father Mu had been dead for a long time. ”
Therefore, Huang Tingjian said to himself, "I have obtained the grass law in Fuling, and I hate Mu Father for not being able to see him." ”
Huang Tingjian experienced the "cursive samadhi", especially from Zhang Xuhuaisu's drunkenness, to the power of wine, so that calligraphy is changeable and unmatched. Huang Ting, who did not drink alcohol, was able to grasp the law and the book, and felt even more wonderful, and resumed writing cursive writing again.
The cursive "Lian Po Lin Xiang Ru Lie" long volume is also written this year. The 50-year-old Huang Tingjian was repeatedly demoted and removed from his official position for the crime of schadenfreude.
In the fourth year of Chongning (1105), he was transferred to Yongzhou, and Huang Tingjian died in Yizhou (Yishan County, Guangxi) at the age of 60 without heeding the announcement order.
Huang Tingjian's cursive book "Lian Po Lin Xiang Ru Lie Biography" long volume interpretation:
Honest people, Zhao Zhiliang will also. In the sixteenth year of King Huiwen of Zhao, Lian was a general of Zhao, a general of Zhao, a general of Qi, a great break, took Yang Jin, worshiped as a shangqing, and heard from the princes with courage. Lin Xiang is like the one, zhao people are also. For the Zhao eunuch Ling Miao Xian sheren. When King Huiwen of Zhao was king, he was given Chu and Shi Bi. King Qin Zhao, hearing this, made people leave the Book of King Zhao and wished to invite Yi Bi with fifteen cities. King Zhao conspired with the great general Lian Po and his ministers: if you want to give qin, The city of Qincheng is afraid that it will not be obtained, and it will be deceived in vain; if you want to give, it will be the coming of the Qin soldiers. The plan is undecided, and those who ask for help can make the Qin repay, but they have not received. The eunuch Ling Miao Xian said: The subjects can be made as if they were people. Wang asked: How do you know? Right: The subject tastes guilty, and the scheming wants to die. The courtiers are like the eyes of the courtiers: How can the king know the king of Yan? The courtiers said that the subjects tasted from the realm of the great king and the yan king, and the yan king shook the hands of the courtiers privately, and was willing to make friends, so as to know it, so he wanted to go. It is similar to the saying that the husband Zhao is strong and Yan is weak, and the king is fortunate to be the king of Zhao, so the king of Yan wants to marry the king. Now that The Jun is the death of Zhao Yan, Yan is afraid of Zhao, and he is bound to dare not stay in The Jun, and shu Jun belongs to Zhao Yi. If you are not as good as the flesh and the axe, you will be lucky to get rid of it. The subjects obeyed his plans, and the king also pardoned the subjects. The courtiers think that they are warriors, have wisdom, and should be able to make. So the king summoned him and asked Lin Xiangru: The king of Qin asked Yi widows to use the fifteen cities to ask for a widow' bi, can he give it or not? It is as it is known: Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, and it must not be allowed. Wang Yue: Take Wu Bi and not my city, why not? It is similar to the saying: Qin asks for Bi in the city and Zhao does not allow it, and the song is in Zhao; Zhao Yubi and Qin does not zhao cheng, and the song is in Qin. The second strategy of the average, it is better to negative Qin Qu. Wang Yue: Who can be the messenger? It is as it is said: the king will be no one, and the subjects will serve the envoys. The city entered Zhao and Bi stayed in Qin; the city did not enter, and the subject asked Bi to return to Zhao. King Zhao then sent Xiangru Fengbi west into Qin. The King of Qin sat on the Zhangtai and saw each other. It is like Feng Bi playing the King of Qin. The King of Qin was overjoyed, and it was said that the beauty and the left and right were called long live. Just as the King of Qin had no intention of paying Zhao Cheng, it was the former saying: Bi is flawed, please instruct the king. Wang Zhibi. Just as he stood because of his holding the example, leaning on the pillar, and angrily charging the crown, it is said that the king of Qin wants to get bi, so that people send a letter to the king of Zhao, and the king of Zhao summons the group of ministers to discuss, all of them know: Qin is greedy, bears its strength, asks for bi with empty words, and the city is afraid that it will not be obtained. Did he not want to give Qin Bi, and the subject thought that the friendship of the cloth was not deceitful, but the situation was great? And for the sake of a bibi against the joy of Qin, you can't. So King Zhao fasted for five days, and his courtiers worshipped Bi and delivered books to the court. Who? The power of yan da guo is to cultivate respect. Now that the king has seen the courtiers, the etiquette is very good, and he has obtained the beauty of the pass, so as to tease the courtiers. King Chenguan had no intention of compensating King Zhao for chengyi, so his subjects reinstated Bi. The great king will be anxious for his subjects, and the heads of the subjects will now be crushed on the pillars!
