Known as priceless treasure! What is the charm of Su Shi's Dongting Spring Folk Songs?

These are two one-volume works written by Su Shi in his later years, Ode to Dongting Spring and Ode to Zhongshan and Song Lao. The whole roll is about 28 cm high and 300 cm long. The former is 287 words and the latter is 320 words. With 85 words from the topic, A * * * has 684 words, which is Su Shi's work with the largest number of words. This is one of the charms of this work.

However, it is not enough to rely solely on the number of words in calligraphy works. The most important thing is to look at the font and artistic attainments of calligraphy.

In terms of font, both calligraphy works have the characteristics of Su Shi's pen lying on the side, and the strokes are not vertical, but with some inclination, so that the fonts will not look too straight and make people look rigorous and boring.

Su Shi's pen and ink are also very rich. Although thinness is the beauty of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi's calligraphy still has a feeling of fullness, with rich words and few dry strokes. This is also reflected in the calligraphy of the two poems.

Su Shi's rich fonts are not only because of his willingness to use ink, but also because he likes to write flat characters. Love and other gifted scholars in the Song Dynasty write about being slender? Thin and golden? What is different is that Su Shi's words are mostly flat strokes, and he doesn't deliberately lengthen the font with some vertical strokes, sometimes deliberately? Vertical short horizontal long? In order to achieve the mellow and plump beauty of the font.

The beauty of Su Shi's calligraphy fonts lies in the stretching and strewn at random strokes. Stretching glyphs is mostly achieved by stretching the horizontal pen, while strewn at random tests a calligrapher's experience and level. In Su Shi's calligraphy, we can see that the horizontal rows are clean and tidy, and there is a sense of rhythm between words.

After talking about the beauty of the glyph of Su Shi's calligraphy, let's talk about artistic attainments.

The artistic accomplishment of Su Shi's calligraphy lies in conveying a naive and simple sense of nature. Although his brushwork is profound and steady, there are few feelings of deliberately showing techniques, and not many calligraphers deliberately make crazy affectation to reflect their personality. On the contrary, because of the rich fonts, people look like a gentle and honest lady, advanced but kind and warm, which makes people want to be close and can't be tired for a long time.

Numerous words, glyphs and artistic attainments have made the poems of Dongting Spring and Zhongshan Songlao valuable but not valuable.
