The main works of Yang Shoujing, a master of Chinese studies

Yang Shoujing is a famous historical geographer recognized by academic circles. He devoted his life's energy and knowledge to studying Zhu Jin for forty or fifty years by means of epigraphy and archaeology. Collected the research results of China's water classics for hundreds of years, and wrote representative works such as Notes on Water Classics, Historical Evolution Map, Historical Evolution Danger Map and Notes on Water Classics.

Yang Shoujing is a epigraphist, and he has a deep understanding of the catalogue version. He is the author of Epigraphy in Hubei, Epigraphy in Japan and Epigraphy in Wang Dang. Editors include "Stone Map of the World" and "Three Visits to Historic Sites around the World". The works in the catalogue edition include Interview Diary and Gu Yi Series co-edited with others, which were highly praised by scholars and celebrities at that time and are rare masterpieces so far.

Yang Shoujing's calligraphy and calligraphy theory are well-known at home and abroad, and he is good at regular script, running script, Li, seal script, Cao and other books. He is the author of many calligraphy theory monographs, such as Tracing the Source of Kai Fa, Comment on Monuments, Comment on Posts, and Learn Your Words. During his stay in Japan, Yang Shoujing shocked Japan with his exquisite China calligraphy and touched many famous calligraphers. He was also invited to give lectures, exchange calligraphy skills and accept apprentices. At that time, there was a "worship of the sun" in Japanese calligraphy, and its influence still exists today.

Yang Shoujing's achievements in calligraphy.

Mr. Yang Shoujing was an outstanding scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, with profound knowledge, rich writings and outstanding achievements. He wrote 40 volumes of Notes on Water Classics, which made China's evolutionary geography reach its peak. Wang Niansun, Duan Yucai and Li's primary school mathematics were called "Three Musts" in Qing Dynasty. Fine epigraphy, becoming a "rich in reserves, rare in the world" epigraphy; He is good at calligraphy and is known as "the founder of modern Japanese calligraphy" * * * Wang Xuezhong * *; Rich in books, with a collection of more than 1 00000 volumes, including more than100000 volumes at home and abroad, he is a great collector in modern times and has contributed to the storage of cultural classics in China. In addition, he has also made great achievements in tablet bibliography. Therefore, Yang Shoujing is a great scholar who combines geography, epigraphy, calligraphy, book collection and epitaph.

Yang Shoujing's calligraphy ranks third among his numerous achievements, but this does not affect his position in the history of China's calligraphy, mainly in two aspects.

A magnificent system, a brilliant calligraphy theory.

Yang Shoujing advocated that calligraphy should be "changed", and change is innovation. He expounded that the calligraphy of later generations and the calligraphy of sages "seek simplicity with pens, sum with words, and eventually become a layman." His book "The Origin of Kaifa" is voluminous, with 14 volumes and the directory is 1 volume. As the name implies, he is discussing the origin of Kaifa, as well as the change of writing and the innovation of calligraphy. "Gu's appraisal of Li is divided into chapters according to rhyme, which is easy to find, but not enough to see the change of the eight laws." "The northern dynasties have Tang monuments and monuments. Those who have to go in and out can be good at each other's strengths. If you make a monument of the Northern Dynasties and a monument of the Tang Dynasty, how can you build a composition? This book wants scholars to understand the changes in calligraphy. " In this book, Yang Shoujing has discussed the changes of calligraphy many times, and the sense of innovation naturally overflows between the lines. Calligraphers of past dynasties concluded that in order to have new attainments, calligraphy must have "three essentials", that is, one must be talented, the other should read more and the third should write more. While affirming the three essentials of predecessors, Yang Shoujing added two essentials, namely, high quality. He believes that "high quality means elegant and unconventional writing" and "one should learn to be rich, broad-minded and naturally overflow between the lines". It should be affirmed that this is his understanding of calligraphy and life for decades.

Mr Yang Shoujing is not only knowledgeable, but also of high quality. First, he devoted himself to art, had no intention of official career and hated the establishment that ruled the people. He was elected as the order of Huoshan county in Anhui province by the Ministry of Rites, and refused to take office because of "strong words and unreasonable books". After Yuan Shikai stole the president, in order to win the hearts of the people, he hired him as a consultant and participated in the discussion of state affairs. He refused to take office in Beijing because he was "too old to be a mountain". The second is to subsidize villages and towns and be considerate of the people. Third, I love my motherland. During my stay in China, I bought back a large number of Japanese classical cultural books, many of which were orphans, and made indelible contributions to the preservation of Japanese cultural classics.

The calligraphy art of melting Han and casting Tang, and pulling out the art forest alone

Yang Shoujing is good at calligraphy. He is good at all kinds of calligraphy, but the most distinctive thing is to promote his calligraphy. Xiong Huizhen, his favorite pupil, called Yang Shoujing "the calligraphy handed down from ancient times, as ancient as the Han and Wei Dynasties, unparalleled in the world". Although a little flattering, I can still see it. The record in his chronicle that "book seekers came to the door one after another, day and night" shows the influence of his calligraphy at that time. Mr. Chen Shangmin has a special liking for Yang Shoujing's handed down calligraphy. "Melting Han to cast Tang, both points in the Li dynasty to lead the model. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was really a unique art forest. " There are three reasons: first, they are knowledgeable. As a calligrapher, only by learning to be rich in five cars can you see six roads with your eyes and six roads with your hands. This is the case with Mr. Yang Shoujing. The ancients said, "Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road". There is another cloud: "Reading is like breaking ten thousand volumes, and writing is like a god." Mr. Yang Shoujing said: "Reading more books is helpful to writing, and reading more famous books is helpful to writing", which is a famous saying. Never put off till tomorrow what you can in "The Preface of Pursuing Development", Yang Shoujing said that "the collection of strange and different things makes a mountain". Undoubtedly, extensive knowledge is a solid foundation for the formation of his calligraphy style.

Second, the combination of inscriptions is the genius of Yang Shoujing's calligraphy. Calligraphers of all ages attached importance to Nantie, while Yang Shoujing attached more importance to the study of North and South. In the Qing Dynasty, the study of steles was greatly promoted, and some people refused to post them in the south, making the steles absolute. And Yang Shoujing has always been paying equal attention to steles and calligraphy, putting aestheticism first, breaking the tradition and standing on its own feet. Therefore, its handed down calligraphy has both form and spirit and shines brilliantly. "There are both stone tablets, such as knives and axes, and elegant legal posts, which are quite heroic and not obsequious" * * * Chen Shangmin's language * * *.

Multipurpose flank

"Generally speaking, the calligraphy of the Six Dynasties took the side as the advantage." The so-called hidden front is the outer front in the painting, and the cover is like a cone drawing sand, such as Yin Yinni, broken hairpin and leakage mark. The idea of future generations seeking the Tibetan front cannot be created with this as the center. His theory is also controversial, and everyone who learns his methods will have poor books. Don't talk about others, try two kings. Is there a problem? The front of the side is opening and closing, yin and yang, turning back, turning, light and heavy, starting and ending. What the ancients valued was that the author could use this. If the front is in the painting, it is a letter, and there is nothing you can do. How wonderful is the law? This view is refreshing, which is a great impact on the views of the sages, such as "pen and ink as the center" and "it is not easy to use a pen through the ages", and it also makes people understand a philosophy that there is no absolute thing in the world. What's more commendable is that Yang Shoujing didn't make it up out of thin air, nor did he just talk nonsense. Instead, he tried to practice his theory and make it great. In this way, his unique calligraphy style and interesting brushwork were achieved. At the same time, people can see the ancient, profound, simple and elegant side of his calligraphy.

During Guangxu's six to ten years as Japanese Minister Shu Chang's Attaché, he collected a large number of books lost in China, brought more than 3000 copies of Han, Wei, Six Dynasties Sui and Tang Dynasties inscriptions/kloc-0, devoted himself to the calligraphy teaching of the Six Dynasties North Monument, and made a special contribution to the cultural exchange between China and Japan. He is the author of Shu Ji, Notes on Inscriptions, Xueguiyan, Tangwang Jinshi, Revision of Ancient Books on Narrative, Tracing the Origin of Buddhism, etc. Critics praised it as an eternal industry. Seven-character couplet of running script, written in the 13th year of Guangxu * *1887 * * *, is a running script. The seven-character couplet is 1, in which the upper and lower couplet is 14 and the paragraph is 9 words. A total of 23 words. Yang Shoujing is good at calligraphy theory. He once wrote On Calligraphy, which elaborated on calligraphy theory and had many original opinions. His calligraphy has a great influence in Japan and is the first of its kind in modern Japanese calligraphy. This running script works, the strokes are strengthened, the strokes are all made, and the heroic spirit is full, and at the same time, the statutes have changed. Some brushstrokes such as skimming and pressing are indulged, which makes the whole work vivid and full of personality. The structure of the characters is horizontal, which is the characteristic of the inscriptions in the Six Dynasties. From the perspective of brushwork, it is not all the brushwork of the Six Dynasties, but there is a thick sticky smell between the lines; The structure of every word is uneven, simple and Gu Zhuo, and it has a natural interest. The overall composition is in one go, and the momentum is connected.
