Magu Mountain Xiantan, whose full name is Magu Mountain Xiantan in Nancheng County, Fuzhou in Tang Dynasty, is a milestone in the history of China's calligraphy, and a masterpiece of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, which is praised by later generations as "the best regular script in the world". Yan Zhenqing writes, writes and writes books. In the sixth year of Tang Dali (AD 77 1), it was established in April. The monument used to be in Linchuan, Jiangxi, and was destroyed by fire next season. Regular script is ***90 1 according to the engraved and mounted versions handed down from generation to generation. This tablet is regular script, solemn and beautiful, which has always been valued by people. It is one of the representative works of Yan Ti, which was written by Yan Zhenqing in his sixties. At this time, Yan Zhenqing's regular script style has been basically improved, not only tightly tied, but also moved from bright and regular strokes to the interest of "missing marks". Ouyang Xiu's Collection of Ancient Records said: "This monument is steep and tight, especially sharp, with fine and precise strokes." At the age of sixty-three in the sixth year of Dali (77 1), Yan Zhenqing wrote the Xiantan in Magu Mountain, Nancheng County, Fuzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Zhenqing was appointed as the secretariat of Fuzhou, when his official career was frustrated, so he sometimes asked Zen. I visited Magu Mountain in Nancheng County in April that year and wrote an article about Magu's enlightenment, which is a reflection of my mood at this time. The whole article is written with the brush of seal script (that is, the big seal script), and the structure is relaxed and straight, simple, profound and dignified. It may be rough or weathered, but this feature may also contribute to the formation of this monument style, so we should know it when writing. Magu Xian Tan Ji is one of the most distinctive representative works of Yan-style regular script. In addition to the general characteristics of regular script, such as horizontal light and vertical heavy, full structure, vigorous and straight, it is easy to turn the pen round and vertical pen is easy to face. The pen is like a silkworm's head and goose's tail, with no turning point, wide structure and magnificent weather, which is unique throughout. According to the Records of Rare Books in modern Zhang Yansheng, the rubbings were horizontal, and there were original ink woodcuts when they reached the Song Dynasty. The inscription was originally on the top of the mountain in the southwest of Nancheng County, Jianchang District, Jiangxi Province. There is no original stele extension handed down from generation to generation. There are three types of this post: large, medium and small. Because all the original stones are lost, it is difficult to find good ones. According to records, there are Zhang Zhidong, He Zizhen, Duan Fang, Luo Zhenyu Ji, Dai and Zhao Ziqian. This shows the complexity of the posts handed down from generation to generation at this moment. Yan Zhenqing was 62 years old when he wrote "Magu Mountain Xiantan", which was also a glorious period after his calligraphy matured. Jin Kaicheng, a modern calligraphy critic, wrote in his monograph Yan Zhenqing Calligraphy: "Magu Mountain Xiantan, the later masterpiece of Yan Zhenqing's regular script, is a typical work that can represent the whole regular script. Because it most prominently shows the unique style of' Yan Ti', it has reached a high degree of maturity and integrity in art. "The masterpiece" Magu Mountain Xiantan "has become a model for calligraphers to copy and learn, and Liu Gongquan, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Cai Xiang and other famous artists have been deeply influenced by it. After the inscription of "Magu Mountain Xiantan", later generations carved the regular script of Mrs. Wei, Chu Suiliang, Yu Shinan, Xue Ji, Liu Gongquan and Li Yong on the back of the tablet and placed it in Xiandu Taoist Temple. Noble men and women, literati and scholars in all counties and cities are happy to see the "Lu Gong Monument" on the Magu Mountain. In order to protect this inscription in the Song Dynasty, it was carefully collected by Xiandu Taoist Temple and generally not exhibited to the public. Li Gou Deng Magu Mountain, a thinker in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Lu Gong Bei" that "lest this monument be damaged, it should be kept in the government, and not taught to ordinary people when it is not a big sacrifice", which shows that this monument is loved by people. In the 27th year of Shaoxing in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 157), Hu Shun, a military attache of Jianchang County, founded Lugong Temple, and the inscription was moved to the temple for preservation. Unfortunately, due to the political turmoil, this calligraphy treasure was accidentally lost in the Southern Song Dynasty. At present, Beijing Library, Shanghai Library and Shanghai Museum only collect Song rubbings. The copybook "The Story of Magu Mountain Xiantan" is the best-selling legal copybook in the market at present. It has been reprinted many times by publishing departments in Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan, Sichuan and other places, and soon it was all sold out. Another netizen wrote the world's first regular script like this: "The world's first regular script" or "the world's first official script" is the tablet of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace written by Ou Yangxun, which was called "the first official script" by Zhao Hanshi in the Ming Dynasty. "Official script" is "regular script". Comments on Liquan Monument of Jiucheng Palace in Past Dynasties Song Zhu Wen Chang: However, the brushwork is still relatively weak when it is rare. Now there is a Xilin Dojo monument in Lushan Mountain. And late strength, physical strength, kit kat, cover is learned. The same is true of Jiucheng Palace Monument and Wendaya Tomb Inscription. (Continued) Yuan Zhao Mengfu: "Born in Harmony, One Man in Ancient and Modern Times" Chen Mingjiru: This post is like a mountain for a person, thin, hard and cold, full of qi, which can make the king bend his knees, and he can't control it at all. Han: "Books are the first". (Graphite Engraving China) Shang Xian of Qing Dynasty: The Ming of Liquan is elegant and simple, and the French side is round. This Han dynasty was divided into two dynasties, Li and Wei, which was brewed by the combination of Wei and Jin. Who can compete with Bo Shi? ("Fang Jian Ting Ming") Qing Zhou Xinglian: The word has nine palaces and the branches are white. You Jun's Huang Tingjing, Le Yi Lun, Ouyang's Li Quan Ming and Qian are the most accurate among the nine palaces. Either the bamboo shoots are sewn, the four sides are full, there is no shortage in the words, and there is no source outside the words. It has always been straight and there is nothing wrong with it. The Inscription of Liquan in Jiuchenggong (My humble opinion on Linchi)
The inscription of liquan in Jiucheng Palace was written by Wei Zhi and Ou Yangxun. Ou Yangxun was one of the "four famous calligraphers" in the early Tang Dynasty, because of his "eight-body brushwork, vigorous brushwork, excellent seal style, flying white crown, as fierce as the ancients, like dragon and snake fighting, light cloud cage, whirlwind thunder, wonderful." Known as the crown of calligraphy. Jiuchenggong Liquan Monument was erected in the sixth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 632). The inscription on Liquan in Jiucheng Palace has six characters, 24 lines and 49 words. The monument body and the monument head are connected as a whole, and six dragons are wrapped around the monument head. On the front, there are six characters in the official script "Jiuchenggong Liquan inscription", and the base has been damaged. The book review in the Tang Dynasty said: "Ou Yangxun's calligraphy looks sharp and dangerous, so it can be seen that if the grass surprises him, the clouds thunder, like a king kong peeping at the eye and a giant hand punching.". In his later years, his calligraphy was even more refined, to the point where his brushwork was skillful and his posture was precise and elegant, while people rose from the butte and were cut into four sides. His handwriting is dignified and neat, but not dull, square and muddy, but not cramped; Strict tolerance, dignified and calm; The simplicity and ambiguity in Gao Jian, the softness and charm in the founder and the neatness in the turning point reveal the danger and strong interest in the grace and generosity. "Jiuchenggong Liquan Monument" uses a neat brush, and you can see the danger in the square. The arrangement of calligraphy and painting is compact and symmetrical, and the shelves are open and steady. Its shape is slender, and the pen is stable in danger, especially when it is closed at the end of the pen, the end of the pen will be lifted steadily. The inscription is elegant and simple as a whole, and the statutes are rigorous. Each stroke has become a model for future generations. It is Ou Yangxun's masterpiece in his later years, so later generations often use it as a model for learning regular script. Zhao Mengfu said, "He Qing practiced sword, one man in ancient and modern times.". Chen Ming Jiru once commented: "This outpost is deep in the mountains and forests, thin, hard and cold, but full of air, which can make the king bend his knees. It is impossible for him to drive." The graphite engraving of Zhao Han in Ming Dynasty called this tablet "the first official book". Li Quanming of Jiuchenggong enjoys the reputation of "the ultimate rule of regular script" and is regarded as a model of "European style" by calligraphers of all ages.
