The best running script in the world: Preface to Lanting Collection

On March 3rd, the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 353), Wang Xizhi and some scholars living in Yin Shan came to Lanting to hold a "tomb-repairing" ceremony, and everyone improvised many poems. Preface to Lanting is a preface written by Wang Xizhi for this poem. The Preface was deeply influenced by the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi believed by the southern gentry at that time and occupied a certain position in the history of literature. The full text has 28 lines and 324 words, and its composition, structure and brushwork are all perfect. Wang Xizhi's running script was unique at that time, and later generations commented that "the font of the right army has changed." Its heroic spirit is natural, so it is considered as a model from ancient times to the present. Calligraphers of all ages called the Preface to Lanting the best running script in the world.

The second running script in the world: Yan Zhenqing's manuscript of offering sacrifices to his nephew?

Cursive ink, Yan Zhenqing book. Length 28.2 cm, width 72.3 cm, 25 lines, ***230 words. This article was originally a draft eulogy written by Yan Zhenqing for his nephew Ji Ming who was killed by An Lushan. This work was not originally written as a calligraphy work. Due to extreme grief and indignation, it is difficult to calm down, and there are many mistakes and mistakes, which are sometimes smeared. But it is precisely because of this that the word is dignified and unsmiling, full of charm, round and magnificent brushwork and magnificent posture. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Jingyan wrote an inscription saying, "I thought it was better to write than to draw up. Coverage is an official work, although there is no deadline, it is always a request; Letters are quite indulgent when they are on a whim; Moreover, the drafting was unintentional, and it was his palm that was forgotten. It's great to see it here. " In Yuan Dynasty, Xian Yushu commented that this post was "the second running script in the world". In this original post, all the places where you are thirsty and holding a pen are vivid, which can make people see the process of writing a pen and the wonderful change of the nib, which is of great benefit to learning cursive. The original is now in the Palace Museum in Taiwan.

The third largest running script in the world, Huangzhou cold food poem post?

Paper version, 25 lines, *** 129 words, is the representative work of Su Shi's running script. This is a poem to send a revival, and it is a sigh of life caused by Su Shi's relegation to Huangzhou for three years. The poem is desolate and affectionate, expressing Su Shi's melancholy and lonely mood at this time. The calligraphy of this poem is produced in this mood and situation. The whole calligraphy is full of ups and downs, radiant and unrestrained, and there is no shortage of pens. Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post has a great influence in the history of calligraphy, which is called "the third running script in the world" and is also a leader in Su Shi's calligraphy works. As Huang Tingjian wrote after this poem: "This book was also written by Yan, Yang and Li Xitai, which is not necessarily the same as those who tried to restore Dongpo. ?

Interpretation: I have eaten cold food three times since I came to Huangzhou. Cherish spring, want to keep spring, and manage spring from self-management to no one regrets. This year also suffered from continuous rain, for two months, the climate was bleak as autumn. Sniff begonia flowers and swallow branches of snow. Sneaking around in the middle of the night is really something. He Shu's sick teenager had a white start. The riverside is surging, as if to rush into the portal, and the fierce attack of heavy rain seems not bad. The hut is like a fishing boat, in a misty water cloud. The empty kitchen is cooking some cold dishes, and damp reeds are burning at the bottom of the stove. I didn't know it was a cold food, but I saw crows burning the remaining paper money. The emperor's palace gate has nine floors, which are far-reaching and difficult to return. The tombs of ancestors in the distance cannot be mourned. I just want to imitate Ruan Ji and cry out in despair, but I am disheartened and unwilling to rekindle. ?

Yuan Botie, the World's Fourth Running Script

Wang Xun (350-40 1), a character named Lin, is protected by fine print. Linyi (now Linyi County, Shandong Province) people. Official to official. He is the nephew of Wang Xizhi, a "book saint", and comes from a noble family who is good at calligraphy and has survived for generations. His father, Wang Cha, and his grandfather, Wang Dao, are both good at books, so history says that "three generations called able books, which were sages of grass, were also passed down." His cursive "Yuan Bo Tie" has always been regarded as a treasure by later calligraphers, connoisseurs and collectors, because it is a rare original in celebrity calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The original work of Bo Yuantie's Wang Xun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It has always been regarded as a treasure by later calligraphers, connoisseurs and collectors. Yuan Bo Post is a letter written by Wang to relatives and friends. Beautiful and natural, he is an outstanding figure in China's ancient calligraphy works. It is listed as the third of the "three great hopes". His strokes are thinner and more open, especially the words with fewer strokes are particularly elegant in Shu Lang, which is really a bit of a charm of Jin people, such as "the rising sun is like a breeze, like clouds, like smoke clouds, like a secluded forest."

The World's Fifth Line Book —— Yang Ningshi's Jiuhua Tie

"Jiuhua Tie" Yang Ningshi book, running script, ink hemp paper, 26 cm high, 28 cm wide, ***7 lines, 63 words. Jiuhua Post is a letter about waking up from a nap and being hungry. Someone just sent Jiuhua, which was delicious, so I wrote to express my gratitude.

Jiuhua Iron's loose cloth and white color should be its first eye-catching feature. There is a big blank between words and between words, which is very strange in running script works. However, there is a subtle look between the lines, which is connected with each other. The combination of plainness and strangeness is the most outstanding and amazing place of Jiuhua Railway. It unifies the contradiction between closure and dispersion, but it is not far-fetched. Instead, it gives people a natural feeling and is full of fun. The whole form is like an idle and elegant gentleman. Raise your hand and cast your feet, elegant and calm. The patchwork white cloth and the unique combination of plain and moderate complement each other, which makes the author Xiaosan's leisurely mood come to life. No matter from the calligraphy itself or the writing content, we can really feel the author's indifferent state of mind.

The sixth running script in the world-Liu Gongquan's Mongolian imperial edict.

Liu Gongquan (AD 778-865), born in Jingzhao Huayuan (now Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province), was a calligrapher Wang Xizhi at first, then studied Yan Zhenqing, and became his own family with meticulous and macro skills. Mi Fei once commented on his book: "Public power is like a Taoist in the mountains, and it has become a proper body." According to legend, Mu Zong once asked him about his brushwork, and he replied, "A regular mind and correct brushwork are the laws." The emperor immediately "changed his face and realized that he wanted to use a pen to remonstrate." He wrote so many inscriptions that the inscriptions of the ministers' families at that time would be called unfilial descendants if they could not get his words, but the running script was rarely circulated, so it became more and more precious.

? This post is magnificent, hearty, muddleheaded, roaring and chanting, and its structure does not follow the vertical trend like Liu's regular script, but changes with the shape, long or short, big or small; Different from Liu's regular script, it takes the position of regular script, but it is rich in color, adventurous, unconventional and degenerate, and is rarely bound by the strict laws of the Tang Dynasty. Different from Liu's regular script, Geng Jie has its own characteristics, but it is both rigid and flexible, with bones and flesh, or square or round, or exposed or hidden, thick but not bloated, thin but not soft, with centered lines, full and round, and proper pen and ink control. As Zhou Bida said: "Take it easy and be happy, but the weather is graceful and you don't know it." Its composition is fat and thin, with uneven levels, reality and reality, density and interest, balance before and after, concentration in one breath, leisurely, and turning it into reality. "It's dry, moist and hidden, as if it can't be recovered."

The seventh running script in the world —— Lu Tie by Zhang Hansi of Ou Yangxun.

Also known as Ying Ji Iron, Ou Yangxun's book. Regular script, no money. Paper book, 25.2 cm long and 33 cm wide.

On the back of the paper, there is a thin line of gold: "Lead the Prince to send a letter to Hans to affix it. The brushwork is steep, sharp and long-driven, and the wisdom and courage also avoid the front. When Ji Lin wanted to make people ask about books, Gao Zong heard about it and sighed, "Asking about books spread far and wide. In his later years, he was vigorous and vigorous, and he had the wind of law enforcement and litigation. It is not a hollow reputation that the butte rises and is cut on all sides. The style of this post is basically the same as that of Ou Yangxun's regular script, and both win by risks. The center of gravity of the word is on the left, and thousands of strokes are pressed to the right, so that the structure of each word forms a rebellious trend, and then the right force is used to turn the tide. It can be described as "seeking stability in danger is endless fun." Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty commented: "It is wonderful and more than enough to take advantage of the situation." Very discerning. This discount is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing.

The Eighth Running Script in the World —— Mi Fei's Susu Tie

Shu Su Tie is eight poems written by Mi Fei when he was thirty-eight years old in Shu Su (1088). "Shu Su" is a silk fabric made in Sichuan, with a black silk fence woven on it, which is beautifully made. According to legend, this book was hidden by Xiao, who wanted to invite famous artists to leave Mo Bao for his descendants. However, from generation to generation, no one dares to write. Because the grain of silk is rough and difficult to write, unskilled people are afraid to ask. When Anmin Palace saw it, it was "doing its part". With a wave of his hand, he writes freely, like a duck to water. In addition, because silk fabrics are not susceptible to ink and there are many dry pens, the ink color is distinct from beginning to end, and it is even more exciting to rush to spring. Mifei paints bamboo with strokes. He likes to "show off on all sides". This post is changeable in pen, hidden in the front, clear in thickness and varied in posture, which fully embodies his unique style of "brushing words" The knot is also inclined to change greatly, and mainly on the side, showing a dynamic aesthetic feeling. Dong Qichang wrote an afterword for "Su Cycas in Shu", saying, "This volume is like a lion fighting an elephant. Go all out to cooperate for life. " .

The ninth running script in the world —— Huang Tingjian's Song Fengge Poetry

The Iron Stone of Song Fengge is a parallel edition of Huang Tingjian's seven-character poem, with a length of 32.8 cm and a width of 2 19.2 cm. The full text consists of 29 lines, 153 words. Collected by the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

Songfengge is located near Lingquan Temple in Xishan, west of Ezhou City, Hubei Province, with an altitude of 1.6 meters above sea level. In ancient times, Fanshan was the place where Sun Quan gave lectures on martial arts and literature, and held a banquet to worship heaven. In September of the first year of Chongning, Song Huizong (1 102), Huang Tingjian and his friends traveled to Fanshan in the north of the lake, passing through a pavilion in the pine forest and listening to Songtao overnight. Song Feng Ge Shi sang the scenery I saw at that time and expressed my nostalgia for my friends. Huang Tingjian created thousands of excellent running scripts in his life, the most famous of which is Song Fengge's Poems and Posts. Its Shen Feng is swaying, the long wave is big, Teton is ups and downs, and it is full of meaning. It is a masterpiece of running script to add Lanting to Yan's Sacrifice to My Nephew.

The structure, brushwork and composition of Song Fengge's poems are very strange, and its structure has two characteristics:

First, it is tight inside and tight outside, and the tight place is strange, which increases the impression. Its rule is that the main pen radiates outward as far as possible, drawing horizontally to the left, vertically downwards, and horizontally and horizontally, forming a sharp contrast. Although this form is taken from "heming in Iraq", the middle palace in this position is tighter and surrounded by it.

Second, the side is rich and colorful. Its words are like wind and rain leaves, crooked; Another example is children in Xie Jia. They don't wear crowns or shoes. This is the characteristic of Wang Xizhi's running script, but Huang Tingjian further exaggerated this characteristic. Horizontal painting is more oblique, vertical painting is not straight, and the left and right strokes extend outward to a greater extent. Without deep foundation and superb technology, you can never take such a risk. The brushwork of Song Fengge's poems is also very accurate. Looking at the whole stippling, it is rich and firm, easy to take off, thick and elastic, and satisfactory. Long strokes are easy to escape, short strokes are tight and clean, and the ups and downs are clear. Although dancing like Youlong, flying everywhere, but also realistic, without the slightest slack and softness. The composition of Song Fengge's poems is fantastic and wonderful. The words are big or small, long or short, closed or open, hidden or exposed, dense and alternating, interspersed with contention, lingering anecdotes and detached. Therefore, Kang Youwei said: "Song people's books focus on the valley, and the changes are unprovoked, which leads to Lanting Samadhi. As for the charm, it is unique and new. "

Songfengge is one of the landmark buildings in Xishan.

The Tenth Running Book in the World —— Mututie in Li Jianzhong

Mutu Tie, running script, paper book, vertical 3 1.2 cm, horizontal 44.4 cm. Every ten lines, each line has different characters, * * * 104, which is collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei (click to browse the larger image).

Explanation:

I want to be a native mother, but today I got a small cage and sealed all the consultations. I wonder if there is? It's new, but I don't know what it's for. Please give me instructions. Xianlang didn't check the clothes calendar in spring and summer. His family background, Yin Jiazhe, is not clear at all, so it is difficult to discuss. What should I do if I don't visit people who pursue stability and convenience and have prejudice against the house? Hope to show and consult in detail. Sun Hao went west, with few cars, and now he has an old car. If you don't need them there, you can take the goods. ?

This post was originally one of the six posts in Jianzhong. There was a word "Wei" between the word "Zi" and the word "Feng" in the lower corner of the first line, which was originally collected by Xiang (word, number) in Ming Dynasty. According to Daguanlu, these six stations are Mutu Station, Same Year Station, Guizhai Station, Tuntian Station, Zuoyou Station and Zhaigu Station.

Jianzhong experienced five dynasties and two songs in his life, and he is a connecting link in the history of calligraphy. The style of Tang poetry has changed frequently. Although it does not catch up with the late season, the book has been written for 300 years, and it still has the charm since Zhenguan and Yonghui. Although Jianzhong was in the early Song Dynasty, calligraphy did not reach as far as the Tang Dynasty, and there was still a lingering wind in the Tang Dynasty, reaching the peak of the transition period from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty. In the early Song Dynasty, the calligraphy world had returned to the Jin Dynasty, which originated from Yang Ningshi, a calligrapher of the Five Dynasties, and two people who had an influence on calligraphy in the early Song Dynasty. Whether it is Da Le's calligraphy, it shows signs of tracing back to the source and merging the calligraphy styles of Jin and Tang Dynasties. Later, when I arrived in Cai Xiang, the books of Jin and Tang Dynasties merged into one furnace, and the law got rid of any method and reached the state of "opposing the law with meaning". From Song Shu to Su Shi and Huang Tingjian, great changes have taken place from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the style of advocating calligraphy really matured.
