Since ancient times, everything has Those who have achieved great things have experienced ups and downs throughout their lives. Their emotions are rich and deep, which are reflected in words and handwriting. They often have a courage and charm that ordinary people cannot match. Texts such as "Song of the Great Wind" by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and "Song of Gaixia" by Xiang Yu; handwriting such as "Hot Spring Inscription" and "Jinci Inscription" by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and even Chen Han of the three generations of Kangxi, Yong and Qian dynasties in the Qing Dynasty, all make the viewer thrilling and fascinated. . Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the great modern revolutionary, pursued freedom and equality in China all his life. He traveled all over the world and traveled back and forth for forty years. Even before his death, he still did not forget the cause of saving China and the people, leaving behind the message: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to "Work hard" earnestly enjoined. At the 2013 Duoyunxuan Spring Auction of Wang Boqun Collection, four calligraphy works written by Mr. Sun Yat-sen for Wang Boqun, a revolutionary comrade and Minister of Transportation of the Republic of China, appeared at the same time. Thinking back to the times when heroes were created and the Central Plains returned to the Central Plains to compete for the throne, I couldn't help but People are moved by it.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen likes to inscribe and donate books, and his handwriting has always been highly respected by the Chinese people. Paper in Luoyang is expensive, and it is also highly respected as far away as Japan. His calligraphy is mostly in regular script, and he incorporates the calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing, Su Shi and Wei Bei, forming his personal characteristics of thick stipples and vertical and horizontal strokes. He used regular script with a slight running script as his common writing style, showing his masculine temperament and great man's spirit of being upright, rigorous, unyielding and unyielding. Tan Yankai, a great calligrapher of the same generation, commented on Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy: "The calligraphy written by the sages of the time called the Prime Minister was deeply rooted in the charm of the Tang Dynasty. It is beautiful and natural, which cannot be achieved by mechanics. It is cautious and thick, neither cunning nor casual, and it is suitable for the person." . . . His writings are not only similar to those of Su Dongpo, but also have the style of writing in the Tang Dynasty. He is as upright and upright as the man himself. He is truly gifted and intelligent, and ordinary people cannot learn it. "It can be said that he knows how to speak.

Wang Boqun and Sun Yat-sen got acquainted in the early days of the establishment of the Tongmenghui in Japan. It was this extraordinary friendship that led Sun Yat-sen to write for him "Let people not be weak unless they are self-defeating. Don't leave the group when you have ambitions." Paper 5 Verse couplets, "The words are as balanced as a mirror, and the breeze hangs in the hands and blows into the arms" eight-character couplets in the damask, paper album pages of "Cai Gen Tan", and damask banners of "fraternity".

The couplet "Let people know that I am not weak" is written on a six-foot jade board. The large characters are about 30 centimeters in size. The size is extremely rare in Sun's calligraphy. Zhan Guan 1 However, the overwhelming momentum is impressive. His brush strokes are square and rounded, and the bottom of the pen seems to have thunderous power. He pays special attention to exerting force in the long strokes and the last few strokes, which not only shows the strong and intense mood of looking at the river eastward, but also his gentle and honest charm and writing. If the content is consistent, this Chinese-style combination of hardness and softness can be said to be a perfect overlap between life philosophy and aesthetic philosophy.

The couplet "The words are as balanced as a mirror, hanging in the hands and the breeze blows into the arms" is a more melodious chapter, with a bit more elegance in the calligraphy. Politicians in ancient times often had the status of literati. This couplet reflects the life of a literati during the period when politicians of the Republic of China were not participating in politics but commenting on poetry and essays in their study rooms, which was filled with heroic elements. Mr. Zhongshan changed the appearance according to the different contents of the book, which is roughly between regular script and regular script. If the couplet "Let others not be weak" represents the towering side of Sun Yat-sen and Wang Boqun as revolutionaries, this couplet is like an elegant gathering of literati drinking wine, naturally revealing the humanistic feelings of politicians in their spare time.

The volume "Cai Gen Tan" has a calm and elegant writing style, fresh style and long lasting charm. The broadness of the Yan characters and the strength of the Wei stele are downplayed in the work, subtly subordinated to the overall style of the running script works. Mr. Sun Yat-sen wrote an aphorism in "Cai Gen Tan": "If you want to be a pure and beautiful character, you must be forged in the fire; if you want to achieve heaven-shaking deeds, you must walk on thin ice." Revolutionaries Growth must go through the test of ice and fire. The two encouraged each other and spared no effort throughout their lives. The words between the lines reveal that the revolution has a long way to go. Its length, number of words, and power of writing should be rare among Nakayama Tezawa's works.

The two characters "fraternity" are slightly different from the couplets. Their richness and strength are due to Yan's calligraphy, especially the turning points are mostly from the seal writing style, adding swift and violent strokes to the balance and solemnity. The stippling is round and thick, and the combination of his political outlook and artistic outlook can be described as "perfectly beautiful and perfect." Mr. Sun Yat-sen's kindness and generosity to the world are completely pinned on the two words "fraternity" with powerful penmanship.

Mr. Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy has always influenced the ideology of Chinese people, both at that time and today, and has become the treasure of calligraphy that people strive for.

Duo Yunxuan's 2013 spring auction debuted four pieces of divine writing by Sun Yat-sen for his close comrades. It provides extremely precious and classic information for us to understand Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy. It will definitely arouse a new wave of interest in the calligraphy of the Republic of China after the 100th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911. Witness the further improvement of the value of calligraphy in the Republic of China.
