Luoyang "madman"

In his later years, he called himself "Yang Madman" and spent the rest of his life in Luoyang. Some dignitaries in Luoyang often give him property, but he never takes it, either to temples or to the poor. Yang Ningshi often laughs at dignitaries. When he enters the government, he often walks in without riding a horse or riding a car. It was rude at that time, but he didn't care.

There is a legend about Yang Ningshi's madness:

After Tang Zhaozong's son Hui Wang succeeded to the throne, Yang Ningshi's father Yang She became prime minister. Later, Zhu Wen usurped power, and Yang was timid. In order to save his life, he intends to give the imperial seal to Zhu Wen. Knowing this, Yang Ningshi said to his father, "My Lord, as the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the country is on the verge of extinction. Don't you have any responsibility? Now, you must give the seal of the Emperor to the usurper. Aren't you afraid that the world will curse you? " Hearing this, Yang became even more afraid. Knowing that Zhu Wen's spies were outside the door, he scolded, "What did you say, boy? Do you want to destroy my Yang family? "

From then on, Yang Ningshi pretended to be crazy and unrestrained; Later, he abandoned his official position and retired to seclusion, devoted himself to studying and studying calligraphy, and created excellent calligraphy works such as Jiuhua Tie, which were handed down to later generations. Huang Tingjian, a great calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem of praise: "The world learns the appearance of Lanting every day, and wants to change every bone without an elixir. I don't know Luo Yang's' Madman Yang'. I have written to Wu Si. "

Do everything on the wall.

Yang Ningshi is brilliant and studious. His calligraphy comes from Ou Yangxun and Yan Zhenqing, and his running script is comparable to that of Yan Zhenqing. Yang Ningshi was especially good at cursive script, and was praised as "the hero in the book" by people at that time. His calligraphy style is vigorous and novel, which has a wonderful effect of breaking the square into a circle and simplifying the complex. Because he is fickle and opposed to the army, he is complacent with God, so he can be wonderful.

Yang Ningshi is not only famous for his calligraphy, but also good at writing poems. His poems are beautiful, elegant and unique, but he often writes some doggerel. He likes roaming mountains, rivers and temples. He doesn't like writing books on paper or vegetables, but prefers to write inscriptions on the wall. He often scribbles his doggerel on the wall of the temple, which is crooked, strange and unique.

Yang Ningshi often hangs out in temples, so he often writes poems on the walls. All the monks in the temple liked his calligraphy and knew his hobbies, so they painted the walls in advance and wrote poems after he came. If he enters the temple and sees the clean and lovely walls, he will ask the monk for pens and ink and write on the walls crazily, which is amazing. He often writes while singing. Once he wrote it, he refused to put it down. He doesn't feel tired at all. He won't stop until he finishes writing the chalk wall.
