PS: Three more, ask for a few monthly passes to support, thank you.

Of course, at the moment, this cursive calligraphy script must not be Zhang Zhi's work. However, the author of this work is a cursive master of the same level as Zhang Zhi.

"Waisu?"

For a moment, an expert was pleasantly surprised, but also a little uncertain: "Look at it, is this Huaisu's brushwork?" ”

"Monk Huaisu's wild grass?"

At the same time, the others reacted, and their eyes burst into sparkling light again.

About Monk Huaisu, I think many people who like calligraphy will not be unfamiliar. He is the history of calligraphy to lead a generation of coquettish cursive writers, his cursive pen with round and powerful, so that the turn is like a ring, unrestrained and smooth, in one go, and another cursive calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty Zhang Xu is equally famous, known as Zhang Dian Su madness, or Bumpy drunk.

The Tang Dynasty was another peak period of Chinese calligraphy after the Wei and Jin dynasties. Whether it is the four famous masters of the early Tang Dynasty or the Yan muscles and willow bones of the Middle Tang Dynasty, they all make people talk about it. However, if cursive writing is mentioned, I am afraid that in everyone's impression, in the entire Tang Dynasty for two or three hundred years, there are only two people worth mentioning.

These two people are naturally Zhang Xu and Monk Huaisu. Zhang Xu doesn't need to mention much, but he is known as the grass saint, and his cursive writing is even more similar to Li Bai's poems and General Pei's sword, known as the world's three uniques.

As for Huaisu, he is a monk, a monk who does not abide by the rules and precepts. He became a monk at an early age, and when he was a teenager, he was obsessed with calligraphy, indulged in pen and paper, and scribbled all day long, and was twice expelled from the monastery.

However, according to research, Huaisu became a monk, definitely not because he saw through the red dust, nor because of his poor family. Because his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all served as minor officials such as county magistrates and long histories, according to his family background and family background, he can be regarded as full of scholars.

It's just that in the family of the monk Huaisu. It seems that there is a tradition of becoming a monk. For example, his uncle Huirong was a monk and a calligrapher, and he learned Ouyang Xun's calligraphy, which was almost real.

In addition, there are benefits of being a monk. After all, that period coincided with the Anshi Rebellion, and the monk Huaisu was cultivating in the monastery, which can be said to have jumped out of the Three Realms and was not in the Five Elements. No matter how turbulent the political situation is, it has nothing to do with him. He was even able to calm down and practice calligraphy, which became a generation of famous artists.

It is to understand the name of Monk Huaisu, and even more aware that his cursive script has extremely high artistic value, so Zhou Lao and others are so excited. Moreover, compared with the calligraphy of other famous calligraphers, the cursive script of the monk Huaisu is easier to identify. Just think about it, although cursive is easy to write, very few write well. It's like tai chi, easy to learn but hard to master.

In particular, the cursive writing of the monk Huaisu is like going to Duoqi Peak in summer. Erratic.

Ordinary people don't want to talk about learning, even if they copy it, it is difficult to grasp the essence of it. For this reason, fakes from various famous calligraphers are very common in the collector's market. But cursive writing is very rare. One is that there are not many people who know how to appreciate cursive, and there are not many people who are willing to buy cursive. Another reason is how difficult it is to imitate.

It is also for this reason that after some research. One expert is sure of the doubt: "This is the true work of Huaisu Wild Grass." ”

"You see, the brushwork in cursive is like a gossamer, like a light colored silk. In the loop, you will never find the knotted knots. ……”

At this time, the expert analyzed: "This is the characteristic of Huaisu cursive, and most people think that Huaisu is crazy, which is splashing ink and freehand, but it is actually a one-sided view." In fact, in my opinion, Huaisu's brushwork is more delicate, but it is delicate and introverted, which is difficult for ordinary people to notice. ”

"Hmm."

Someone next to him agreed: "The whole work is full of energy, the pen and ink are lively and flying, and the pen is full of tigers and tigers, at first glance, it looks like a torrential river, climaxing in the magnificent waves." But if you look closely, it seems to be a subtle and restrained stream, revealing a clear and beautiful atmosphere in the gurgling flow, meandering and endless. ”

When the experts commented, Wang Guan also listened carefully, but because he did not study cursive much, he could not experience the charm described by the experts. However, if you look closely, I do feel that the text of this cursive script is scattered, the font is even more sparse and reasonable, and the shade of pen and ink is appropriate, which makes people look very comfortable, and it is indeed a good work.

It's not that Wang Guan is superficial, in fact, this is also a trick for identification. Because the calligraphy is written throughout, it is more important to pay attention to the pleasing effect. Otherwise, it's all dense text, and it's estimated that the eyes are spent, so how can there be any mood for appreciation.

Therefore, a good calligraphy work must first consider the layout and the shade of the brushwork. Especially for long calligraphy masterpieces, where to be sparse, where to be dense, when to put down the pen, when to light, are very particular things.

If you don't sparse it too much, it will look loose and unsightly. But it's so dense that it's cramped. The same is true of the shade of the pen and ink, the ink is dripping and dripping, but it is too much, and it looks jet black. On the contrary, if the brush and ink are very light, it seems to be absent, and it will be difficult to look at.

It is because there are a lot of exquisiteness, so the famous calligraphy that can be handed down is all a fine work, which can be called a model for future generations to practice calligraphy.

At the same time, some experts are convinced: "It is not only Huaisu's work, but also his handwriting that has appreciated the true meaning of calligraphy since he was middle-aged, and his calligraphy creation has entered a peak state." ”

"What's the basis for that?" Someone next to him was curious, after all, not everyone knows how to authenticate calligraphy, and it is normal not to see the subtlety in it.

"Of course there is a basis."

At this time, the expert smiled: "According to historical records, when Monk Huaisu was young, he practiced calligraphy very diligently, and once planted tens of thousands of banana trees, cut off all the leaves, and used them to practice calligraphy. However, it is undeniable that when Huaisu was a teenager, he did not have a teacher, but laid the groundwork for his calligraphy innovation. ”

After all, as we all know, in the era from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty, the calligraphy atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty advocated law. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was sought after by Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty, and people flocked to it at the time. However, Huaisu is a rebel who does not care about contemporary art trends, but more explores on his own. ”

While speaking, the expert sighed: "After the Anshi Rebellion, the great poet Li Bai traveled south to Dongting Xiaoxiang. This year, Li Bai was fifty-nine years old, and Huaisu was in the year of the weak crown, so he went to Li Bai to ask for poetry. This was the first time Huaisu met Li Bai and the only time he interacted with him. ”

"The two people have similar temperaments, Li Baidou has a hundred poems about wine, and Huaisu is even more drunk and crazy. As an elder, Li Bai cherishes talents, promotes post-graduates, affirms Huaisu's innovation, and even writes poems to praise. The young Venerable Master is called Huaisu, and the cursive writing is known as the only step in the world...... Wang Yishao, Zhang Boying, a few waves from ancient times, Zhang Dian died of old age is not enough, I am not a teacher of ancient ......

A cursive song, Li Bai's preference and respect for Huaisu.

Wang Yishao is Wang Xizhi, Zhang Boying is Zhang Zhi, and Zhang Dian is naturally Zhang Xu. Li Bai said that Wang and Zhang were in vain because their artistic achievements have become a thing of the past. also said that Zhang Xu's old death does not count, and the emphasis is on advocating the young Huai Suying's name.

Of course, the three words are not Shigu, which is intended to show Huaisu's innovative spirit.

"Everyone knows that Li Bai's poems are exaggerated, and he has a bold temperament, and if he thinks that a person is good, he will definitely praise the other party hard, and he is not afraid that the other party will fall to his death."

At the right time, the expert smiled: "Fortunately, Huaisu did not live up to Li Bai's expectations, and when he was young, he definitely deserved the praise of cursive writing in the world." But in middle age, after more than ten years of study tours, his calligraphy has also entered a slightly non-condensation realm. ”

"Of course, the so-called Bushi Gu is only half right. When he was young, Huaisu was indeed not a teacher, but after the year of his establishment, his calligraphy began to be in a hesitant stage, and his brushwork stagnated and encountered a bottleneck. ”

After discovering that his calligraphy was not improving, he began to travel to study. In the process of traveling, he met with contemporary masters, admired the calligraphy of his predecessors, and then suddenly became enlightened. ”

However, Huaisu really obtained the essence of penmanship only after meeting his cousin Wu Tong, and gradually comprehended the penmanship of Wei and Jin. Wu Tong is a student of Zhang Xu and a classmate of Yan Zhenqing. Wu Tong left Huaisu at home, and he explained to Huaisu the wonder of Zhang Zhi's Linchi, Zhang Xu's unpredictable cursive writing, and Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy, such as the shortcomings of dead trees in winter. ”

Between the words, the expert was full of emotion: "If it is said that Huaisu's calligraphy in his youth relied on artistic intuition. His artistic exploration after the age of 30 is to seek in the artistic tradition. The historical tradition of Chinese calligraphy is the inheritance of penmanship in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and penmanship is the core secret of calligraphy in the Wei and Jin dynasties. ”

"Mastering this core secret, Huaisu finally completed calligraphy, when visiting Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing was not stingy, taught the twelve strokes, and asked Huaisu about the perception of cursive."

Speaking of this, the expert sighed again: "Monk Huaisu said that he studied nature, and once observed the posture of Xia Yun for a long time, and found that the clouds are unpredictable with the wind and transformation, or like the peak protrusion, or like the dragon churning, or like a bird out of the forest, startling the snake into the grass, or like the peng spreading its wings, the plain walking horses, too many to mention, wonderful." ”

"This is the realm of Xia Yun Duoqi Peak, and it is also the manifestation of Huaisu cursive masterpiece."

While speaking, the expert gestured: "Look at this work, the calligraphy is fickle, is it like a summer cloud, not only the strange peaks protrude, but the lines of calligraphy are also very diverse. The delicate and elegant gossamer, like the brushwork of the goddess scattered flowers, skillfully and skillfully incorporated the norms of the official script and the chapter grass into the bag. ”

In this expert's analysis, everyone also agrees with his judgment. After all, he was originally a great expert in calligraphy, and his speech was naturally particularly authoritative. Besides, the eyes of the others were not blind, and after careful research, it was found that the silk paper was indeed something from the Tang Dynasty.

After some confirmation, everyone can also be sure that this is another rare treasure that is no less than Li Gonglin's Nine Songs Scroll...... (To be continued......)
