Of course, this cursive copybook is definitely not a work by Zhang Zhi at the moment. However, the author of this work is a cursive master of the same level as Zhang Zhi.

"Huaisu?"

In an instant, an expert was surprised and confused, and he was a little uncertain: "Look, is this Huaisu's brushwork?"

"Monkey Huaisu's mad cursive script?"

At the same time, others also reacted, and their eyes burst into shining light.

Regarding Monk Huaisu, I believe many people who like calligraphy are familiar with it. He is a leading cursive calligrapher in the history of calligraphy. His cursive script uses round, strong and powerful brushes, making it turn like a ring, unrestrained and smooth, and is as famous as another cursive calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xu, who is known as Zhang Dian Sukukuai, or Zhang Zuisu.

The Tang Dynasty was another peak period in Chinese calligraphy after the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Whether it was the four famous masters in the early Tang Dynasty or the Yan Jin and Liu Gu in the middle Tang Dynasty, it was talked about. However, if cursive script is mentioned, it is probably in everyone's impression that there were only two people worth mentioning during the two or three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty.

These two are naturally Zhang Xu and Monk Huaisu. Zhang Xu doesn’t need to mention it much, but he is known as the Saint of Cursive Sage. His cursive script is even more like Li Bai’s poems and General Pei’s sword, which is known as the three masters in the world.

As for Huaisu, he was a monk, a monk who did not follow the rules and regulations. He became a monk when he was young, obsessed with calligraphy when he was young, and was addicted to paper, pen and calligraphy. He wrote random paintings all day long, and was driven away from the temple twice.

However, according to people's scrutiny, Huaisu's career as a monk was definitely not because of her poverty. Because his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had all served as small officials such as county magistrates and chief ministers, according to his family background and family background, he was also full of books.

However, there seems to be a tradition of becoming a monk in the family of monk Huaisu. For example, his grandfather Huirong was a monk and a calligrapher. He could almost be absurd by Ouyang Xun's calligraphy.

In addition, becoming a monk also has the benefits of becoming a monk. After all, during that period, the Anshi Rebellion was in the temple, and Monk Huaisu was practicing in a meditation. It can be said that he jumped out of the three realms and was not in the five elements. No matter how turbulent the political situation was, it had nothing to do with him, and he could even calm down and practice calligraphy. This was why he became a famous master.

It is to understand the name of Monk Huaisu and to be clearer that his cursive script has extremely high artistic value, so Mr. Zhou and others are so excited. And compared with the copybooks of other famous calligraphers, Monk Huaisu's cursive script is easier to identify. Just think about it. Although cursive script is easy to write, it is very rare to write well. Just like Tai Chi, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Especially the cursive script of Monk Huaisu, it is like the strange peaks left in summer, and the changes are unpredictable.

Not to mention learning, it is difficult for ordinary people to grasp the essence and charm even if they copy. This is why fakes from famous calligraphers in the collection market are very common, but cursive works are very rare. First, they know how to appreciate cursive script, but not many people are willing to buy cursive script. Another reason is the difficulty of imitation.

It is also based on this reason that after some research, an expert must have undoubtedly said: "This is the original work of Huaisu's crazy cursive work."

"Look, the brushwork of cursive writing is like a silk thread, like a light colorful silk. In the winding circle, you will never find the knot to tie it..."

At this time, the experts analyzed: "This is the characteristic of Huaisu's cursive script. Most people think that Huaisu's crazy is a freehand brushwork, but it is actually a one-sided view. In fact, in my opinion, Huaisu's brushwork is more delicate, but it is delicate and restrained, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect."

"Um."

Someone next to him agreed: "The work is full of spirit, the brushwork is lively and waving, and the wind is shining. At first glance, it looks like a rushing river, rising in the magnificent waves. But when you look closely, it seems like a subtle and restrained stream, exuding a clear and elegant atmosphere in the gurgling flow, winding and endless."

When the experts commented, Wang Guan also listened carefully, but because he didn't study much cursive script, he could not understand the charm described by experts. However, after careful consideration, he really felt that the text of this cursive script was staggered, the length and font were more sparse and dense, and the brush and ink were suitable for the thickness and light, making people feel very comfortable. It is indeed a good work.

It’s not that Wang Guan is superficial, but this is actually a tip for identification. Because calligraphy and calligraphy is full of text, it should pay more attention to pleasing effects. Otherwise, it would be full of dense words, which would probably make you blurry in your eyes and you would not have any appreciation.

Therefore, a good calligraphy work must first consider the layout and the thickness of the brush and ink. Especially for long calligraphy masterpieces, where should be sparse, where should be dense, when to write heavy and light are all very particular things.

If it is too sparse, it will appear loose and dissatisfied. However, it is compact and crowded. The same is true for the thickness of the brush and ink. It is good to have a dripping color, but it is too much, and it looks black. On the contrary, if the brush and ink are very light, as if it is not, it will be difficult to see.

It is because of the many requirements that all the famous calligraphy works that can be passed down are excellent works and can be regarded as templates for later generations to practice calligraphy.

At the same time, some experts were convinced: "It is not only Huaisu's work, but also his work that has experienced the true meaning of calligraphy after he was middle-aged and his calligraphy creation has entered its peak state."

"What is the basis for this?" someone next to him said curiously. After all, not everyone knows how to identify calligraphy and calligraphy books, so it is normal that they cannot see the exquisiteness of it.

"Of course there is a basis."

At this time, the expert smiled and said, "According to historical records, when Monk Huaisu was young, he was very diligent in practicing calligraphy. He once planted tens of thousands of banana trees and cut off all the leaves to practice calligraphy. However, it is undeniable that when Huaisu was young, he did not have a teacher, but laid the groundwork for his calligraphy innovation."

"After all, it is well known that in the era when the prosperous Tang Dynasty moved to the late Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's calligraphy atmosphere advocated rules. Wang Xizhi's calligraphy was sought after by Emperor Taizong of Tang in the early Tang Dynasty, and people at that time flocked to it. However, Huaisu was a rebel and did not care about the contemporary artistic trends, but was more exploring by himself."

While speaking, the expert sighed: "After the Anshi Rebellion, the great poet Li Bai visited Dongting Xiaoxiang. This year, Li Bai was fifty-nine years old, and Huaisu was in his prime. He went to Li Bai to ask for poetry. This was the first time Huaisu met Li Bai and the only time he dated him."

"The two people have similar temperaments. Li Bai's poems about drinking wine are even more crazy. As an elder, Li Bai cherishes talents and promotes later generations. He affirms Huaisu's innovation and even praises poetry. The young master named Huaisu, and his cursive script is called unique in the world... Wang Yishao, Zhang Boying, how many rogues have been named since ancient times, Zhang Dian has not died in many old age, I learned this righteousness but not the ancients...

A cursive song tells Li Bai's preference and praise for Huaisu.

Wang Yishao is Wang Xizhi, Zhang Boying is Zhang Zhi, and Zhang Dian is naturally Zhang Xu. Li Bai said that Wang and Zhang were fond of fame because their artistic achievements have become a thing of the past. He also said that Zhang Xu's death does not count, and the emphasis is on admiring the reputation of the young Huaisu.

Of course, the three words "not learning from the ancients" are intended to show Huaisu's innovative spirit.

"Everyone knows that Li Bai's poems are quite exaggerated, and he is generous and thinks that a person is good, so he will definitely hold the other person high with great force, and he will not be afraid that the other person will fall and die."

At the right time, the expert smiled and said, "Fortunately Huaisu did not disappoint Li Bai's expectations. When he was young, he would definitely not be praised for his cursive script as the only one in the world. But in middle age, after more than ten years of study abroad, his calligraphy has also entered a state of slightly unevenness."

"Of course, the so-called "not learning from the ancients" is only half true. Huaisu, when she was young, did not learn from the ancients, but after her thirty years, his calligraphy began to be in a stage of confusion, and his brushwork stagnated and encountered a bottleneck."

"After discovering that his calligraphy has not improved, he began to study around. During the trip, he visited contemporary masters, watched the calligraphy of his predecessors, and then suddenly became enlightened."

"However, Huaisu really gained the essence of brushwork, but after paying homage to his cousin Wu Tong, he gradually realized the brushwork of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Wu Tong was a student of Zhang Xu and also a classmate of Yan Zhenqing. Wu Tong left Huaisu at home, and he explained the wonderfulness of Zhang Zhi's cursive script, the unpredictable magical and ghostly script of Zhang Xu, and Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy, such as the dead trees in the cold winter, to Huaisu one by one."

While speaking, the experts were filled with emotion: "If Huaisu's calligraphy in her youth relied on artistic intuition. Then his artistic exploration after he was thirty was pursuing the artistic tradition. The historical tradition of Chinese calligraphy is the inheritance of brushwork in the history of Chinese calligraphy, and the brushwork is the core secret of calligraphy in the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

"After mastering this core secret, Huaisu finally achieved great success in calligraphy. When visiting Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing was not stingy, and taught her all the styles of the twelve strokes, and asked Huaisu about her feelings about cursive script."

Speaking of this, the expert sighed again: "Monkey Huaisu said that he learned from nature. He had observed Xia Yun's posture for a long time and found that the clouds changed with the wind, either like strange peaks, or like dragons tumbling, or like birds coming out of the forest, shocked snakes into the grass, or like a big roc spreading its wings, and horses riding on the plains. There are countless beauty."

"This is the realm of Xia Yunduoqiu, and it is also a manifestation of Huaisu's cursive script."

While speaking, the expert signaled: "When you look at this work, the calligraphy is fickle. Is it like a summer cloud? Not only is the strange peak protruding, but the lines of the calligraphy are also very diverse. The delicate and elegant gossip, like the brushwork of a scattered flower in the sky, has skillfully and skillfully incorporated the norms of official script and serene cursively and skillfully."

In the analysis of this expert, everyone also recognized his judgment. After all, he was a great expert who specialized in calligraphy, and his speech was naturally particularly authoritative. Besides, the others were not blind. After careful research, they found that silk paper was indeed something from the Tang Dynasty.
