The true cursive 100-character essay is the representative work of Monk Zhiyong, and it is also a famous masterpiece passed down in the history of Chinese calligraphy. It is said that in order to promote Buddhism, Monk Zhiyong once wrote more than 800 thousand-character essays scattered in the world, and each of the temples in Jiangdong gave one.
Unfortunately, due to the age of time and improper storage, most of the cursive Thousand Characters of Cursive Writings have been lost. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the palace only collected the remaining seven or eight copies.
Perhaps because he thought it was difficult to keep the original, Emperor Huizong of Song, who loved to write a poem most, simply wrote a picture himself, and this version of the cursive Thousand Characters essay became one of the top ten famous Chinese posts.
Of course, in addition to the cursive thousand-character essays of two more famous figures, there are also works by many famous writers. Not to mention the far away, but the recent ones are the real cursive thousand-character essays that Mr. Qi Gong spent seven days creating in the mid-1970s.
There are also various versions of cursive script, Thousand Characters, and there is no need to mention it. Anyway, this work can make Mr. Tao cherish and collect it so much. It must be not an ordinary anonymous work, and it is mostly made by famous artists.
At this time, Wang Guan carefully read the work and saw that the text on the scroll was relatively elegant and elegant, unlike some cursive works that had to make the pages drizzle ink, as if it would not be possible to highlight the crazy and down-and-out cursive script.
Anyway, this cursive script gives people the impression that grass is grass, but the text is free and easy, simple, and has a unique beauty and is full of fresh air.
At first glance, Wang Guan didn't even pay attention to the stamp and directly judged: "Yu Youren's standard cursive script."
There are standards for cursive script, do you think it’s a bit ridiculous?
However, this is a fact. In fact, since the birth of cursive script, there is indeed no standard at all. Everyone writes their own, whether it is crooked, crazy, or messy, or vague. Anyway, as long as the words you write conform to everyone's aesthetic view, it is a good work.
However, during the Republic of China, Mr. Yu Youren, a great calligrapher at that time, felt that Chinese characters were too difficult to recognize and write. In order to facilitate production, perform cultural functions, save time for all citizens, and give full play to the traditional tools of the whole family. So he took the strengths of the cursive script of a hundred schools and established standard cursive script.
Therefore, after years of research, Mr. Yu Youren absorbed the masters of calligraphy in all dynasties and summarized them in an orderly, easy to recognize, easy to write, accurate and beautiful cursive script, and finally created standard cursive script.
After the book was completed, it immediately caused a sensation and became the most popular introductory textbook for beginners to copy. It was the best way to learn cursive script. It also became a new peak in the history of the development of cursive script. It was also a new milestone in the history of the development of Chinese calligraphy art. This is why Mr. Yu Youren also has the reputation of the contemporary cursive saint.
Because the fonts of standard cursive script are relatively standardized, Wang Guan naturally easily identified them.
Of course, although it is standard cursive script, it also needs to be carefully identified whose work it is. After all, Mr. Yu Youren began to study cursive scripts of all dynasties in 29th, founded the cursive script monthly magazine in 2012, and then the standard cursive script was released. More than half a century has passed. During this period, some people created calligraphy works according to standard cursive scripts. It is not strange.
At the same time, Old Tao asked with a smile: "Young man, how about this copybook?"
"good!"
Wang Guan first affirmed that a calligraphy work is actually similar to a picture. It not only requires you to view the details of each character, but also pay attention to the overall layout. Only when the font of the whole work is sparse and dense and the brushwork is natural, can it give people a sense of beauty and be called a masterpiece.
Obviously, the scroll of words in front of me has met this standard, and it also depends on the pen style and seal. If it is a work of a celebrity, the price will definitely be very high. If the author’s reputation is not obvious, the price will naturally be much lower.
There is no way, this is the market and the market law. In fact, to put it bluntly, celebrity works are also a kind of brand. People buy brands, and they think that they have quality assurance and can appreciate better, and the price will definitely continue to rise.
It was too far and back to the point. At this time, Wang Guan looked at the pen on the lower left and saw that there were two-character letters of Right Ren and a red clay and white seal.
“As expected…”
Seeing this situation, Wang Guan was not surprised. After all, he had this idea at the beginning. If it weren’t for the famous works of famous masters, Mr. Tao wouldn’t have attached so much importance to it.
"What do you think?" Mr. Tao continued to ask: "Some people say this is a copy because these fonts are somewhat subtle differences from standard cursive scripts."
"This is the original work of the bearded man." Wang Guan affirmed. The most unique place where Mr. Yu Youren was left with a big beard, so he had the other name of the bearded man.
“Of course, it’s very normal to have differences.”
Wang Guan explained with a smile: "After all, Mr. Yu Youren collected the composition of ancient and modern cursive scripts, and explored and practiced bit by bit, so he created standard cursive script. It was a process of continuous accumulation and change. During this period, it was also a few times of drafts, and finally it was determined and became the standard cursive script we see now. This copybook is obviously a work in this process."
"Haha, that's right." Old Tao agreed.
Wang Guan smiled and pondered again: "In addition, this thousand-character copybook should be a masterpiece of You Lao's writing."
"What do you say?" Old Tao's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Yu Youren's calligraphy is majestic and graceful, light and unique. Especially in his later years, his cursive script has entered a state of superb level. Every word is strange and dangerous, and it is absolutely unmatched." Wang Guan slowly commented: "In his writing, cursive script is melted into a furnace, with cursive script, modern cursive script, and wild cursive script, sometimes in a stable and long shape, and sometimes in a dangerous and dangerous manner, giving people a sense of demeanor."
"However, this volume is obviously not a work carefully created in his later years, because some fonts are too regular."
Wang Guan smiled and said, "Sometimes things in the world are so wonderful. Logically speaking, the font rules should be created with care. But the facts are just the opposite. For cursive script, it is extremely casual, which meets the aesthetic standards of cursive script. So the more the rules are, it means that you have not created with care."
"In addition, everyone needs to know that You Lao learned Zhao Mengfu in his early years, and later changed to the Northern Stele and studied the Six Dynasties stele versions. On this basis, he used seal, clerical and cursive techniques to enter the running regular script, and took a unique approach. It was not until middle age that he began to reform, specializing in cursive script, and used the brushwork of Wei steles to form his own family." Wang Guan explained: "In other words, before cursive script was achieved, You Lao wrote very regular running regular script."
"But there were traces of running regular script on the font of this cursive script, which was enough to show that this work was just a work that Mr. You could practice writing casually. Perhaps after writing it, he didn't know which friend of his friends saw it, so he snatched it and asked Mr. You to add the pen and seal, so that this scroll of characters was created."
Wang Guan thought something and made bold guesses.
"Young people are so terrifying." For a moment, Old Tao couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately you were not next to you when you found this scroll, otherwise I would definitely not be able to rob you."
"Old Tao has been awarded too much." Wang Guan waved his hand humbly: "I am purely a hindsight. When I confirm the original work, I will just do a reverse retort."
"It's not that simple." Old Tao shook his head and said, "There are not many people who know how to appreciate cursive script, let alone the traces of running script in cursive script. Xiaoyu also learned calligraphy and painting with me for a few years in the early years. If you ask her to appreciate it now, I guess I can't tell you why."
"Teacher, don't wait for this to hit people."
At the same time, Qiao Yu complained, and then curled his lips and said, "I can do it anyway. At least I know the difference between Zhangcao, Jincao, and mad cursive script and standard cursive script, which is always better than some people."
When talking about some people, Qiao Yu glanced at Han Lang intentionally or unintentionally, naturally letting everyone know who she was talking about.
In this regard, if Han Lang was the protagonist of this book, at this time, the small universe would definitely explode and do something that made everyone present look at him with admiration. But it was a pity that the protagonist was not him, so he felt very depressed and wanted to yell loudly to vent his unhappiness.
Han Lang naturally has reason not to be angry. If the topic is about finance, stocks, it, and even real estate, he can talk endlessly for three or five hours, but now he just talks about calligraphy and painting, which is obviously intentional bullying. You should know that you have a specialty in your profession, and a few people are talking about things that he doesn't understand at all. What else can he do besides keeping silent?
Of course, in order to maintain a good demeanor, Han Lang would never show it even if he was full of air. He even had a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't know that Qiao Yu was sarcasticating himself.
Then, Han Lang's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at it, then signaled to everyone, stood up and walked away for a few steps to answer. After chatting for a few moments, he hung up his cell phone with an apology smile: "Sorry, suddenly something urgent..."
Before he could finish his words, Qiao Yu said decisively: "Okay, you go first, I won't send you off."
"Then I'll say goodbye." Han Lang smiled awkwardly and quickly left the place. When he left the suite and closed the door, he inevitably felt frustrated. It was not that he didn't work hard, but that the others didn't give him a chance at all. What should he do?
However, no one knew Han Lang's lost mood. Anyway, the moment he left, Qiao Yu jumped up and cheered and said, "It's great, the annoying guy has finally left."
"Don't be too happy too early. People just deal with it in advance or find an excuse to go out, not leaving Jinyang." Bei Ye kindly reminded: "Maybe they are on the way back to your house now."
"This girl's attitude is so obvious. If he still has a little self-esteem, he should have retreated." Qiao Yu snorted: "If I don't leave like this, I will look down on him even more."
"Xiao Qiao."
At this time, Mr. Tao said a fair word: "Actually, this person feels pretty good, at least he can calm down, why don't you give him a chance?"
