Huai Su edition cursive thousand-character script

The original paper version of Huai Su cursive script "Thousand Characters" discovered by scholar Huang Jinxiang.

Huai Su's paper version of Qian Zi Wen is smart and neat, which is more vigorous and natural than Lun Shu Tie. Old mounting, for the Tang Dynasty classics, paper yellowing, moth-eaten. Folding envelope, with 9 pages of memory, each page is 26.8 cm long and 13.5 cm wide. Now Huang Jinxiang, a famous painter and calligrapher, is in possession. Write four or five lines on jade paper. There are five hidden seals on the first page and the middle page, and the last page is lost unsuccessfully. . . The words are as big as nails, the pen and ink are bold and unrestrained, unpredictable and spectacular. The descendants of Yue Fei called his cursive script "a masterpiece after Zhang Xu". This work is extremely precious. In ancient times, there was a saying that "in a word, it is worth thousands of dollars", so it is also called "thousands of gold posts", which has always been valued by the book forest. At present, in addition to the paper version of Melaleuca, Huang Jinxiang's original works are Huai Su's Bitter Bamboo Shoots in Shanghai World Expo and Lun Shu Tie in Liaoning Museum.

Xiang, a famous connoisseur and collector in the Ming Dynasty, said: "It's crazy to follow the rules when a book is written. If you want its cooperation, if you agree with the "two kings", there is no source. You don't know that there is a god under your elbow. You call it crazy, and it is almost not a heart. " It has been clearly revealed that Huai Su's brushwork has the characteristics of "two kings", which shows that he is still an unconventional calligrapher. When commenting on Huai Su's cursive script in the Tang Dynasty, there was a tendency of "swimming in fear, stormy weather", and Lu Yu also praised him for his "archaic cursive script". From the perspective of graphology, Huai Su's calligraphy lines tend to be thin and strong, which has a lot to do with his quiet and bitter aesthetic. Judging from the use of ink in Huai Su's cursive script, we can not only appreciate his skillful brushwork and the beauty of lines, but also directly feel the inner temperament of the author when writing, which is wonderful!

Only those who have really read Huai Su's original works are justified. For example, Zhu, a calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, called Huai Su's book a masterpiece of continuation. Comment on his book Trace: "If a strong man draws his sword, his color is moving." York also praised it with a poem: "pengpeng moved to the sea, the dragon and snake came out of the land, thinking about the sky, the gods and ghosts cried, hanging in their hands, not dazzling with smoke, and splendid opportunities shone on me." Huai Su made a wide range of friends all his life, and had unusual contacts with many cultural celebrities in the prosperous and middle Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Dai Shulun, Yan Zhenqing, Wei Zhi, Qian Qi, Lu Yu and Jidu. These celebrities all praised Huai Su's calligraphy creation. Because Huai Su's cursive script is exquisite and superb, it has always been treasured by collectors. There are more than 100 pieces of Huai Su cursive scripts collected by the imperial court in the Song Dynasty alone, but most of them have been destroyed by the war. It is reported that its handwriting is rarely found in a hundred years! Because his calligraphy can't be separated from the statutes of Wei and Jin Dynasties, he always sticks to the rules with his pen, which attracted the attention of later calligraphers. Xian Yushu, a famous calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty, also pointed out: "It is very ancient for Huai Su to obey the law." The great poet Li Baiyou praised him in his cursive script that "cursive script is called a unique step in the world". Yan Zhenqing has "Preface to Master Huai Su's cursive script", praising it as "the English among monks"!

Lu Zong, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, said in the book review: "Huai Su cursive script, with the help of electricity, is constantly changing." "Xuan He Shu Kai" Volume 19 says: "Huai Su cursive script, with beautiful words and sounds like a god". According to historical records, Huai Su learned calligraphy of the "two kings" at first, and then learned cursive script from Zhang Xu disciples before he knew the method of calligraphy. There are also some brushwork shadows of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi in Shi Zhi's handed down works. In the Qing Dynasty, Angie's Mo Hui Yuan Pass said that Huai Su "ruled the right army every word, and did not make a vertical and horizontal trend". Besides, he has always been very rigorous academically. In his spare time after meditation, he enjoys writing, and his spirit of studying hard and practicing hard is amazing. Huai Su is good at swinging around the center, such as "a whirlwind of showers, full of momentum", to the realm of "suddenly whistling three or five times, and a thousand words are full of walls", and his cursive script has a great influence on later calligraphy. Li Bai praised his poem: "cursive script is called the best step in the world."

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Mo Ruzhong mistook Taiwan Province silk script "cursive thousand-character script" for an original. Yao Gongshou, father and son, Yan Song, Longzhou, He, Yu Youren and others misdiagnosed the fake as the original, but did not make Huai Su's brushwork clear, making a joke! Calligraphy and painting identification is indispensable, just as Xu Bangda overthrew the judgment of Emperor Qianlong, so it is necessary to identify Fuchun Shan Jutu, a "fake" who has been left out for 200 years. Xu Bangda once said: "Evaluation is most afraid of comparison. Whether it is true or false, a comparison will come out. " Even if there is a celebrity inscription, it is not necessarily credible!
