    "Brush and Ink See the True Chapter" at the National Palace Museum in Taipei: Presenting the Ink Works of Fan Chengda and Dong Qichang

    The Paper has learned that the special exhibition "Pen and Ink Sees True Chapters - Guided Tour of Calligraphy of the Palace Museum", which rotates every few months at the Palace Museum in Taipei, changed its exhibits yesterday. The new issue of "Pen and Ink Sees the True Chapter" is exhibited in the Northern Wei Dynasty "Mu Yurong's Epitaph", one of the famous "Mandarin Duck Seven Records" in the Youren Collection, the Song Dynasty Wu Shuo's "Shang Wen Tang Shang Post", and Fan Chengda's "Lisu Post" in the Song Dynasty. ", the Ming Dynasty Dong Qichang's "Imitating Ouyang Xunqianwen" and other ancient calligraphy treasures, revealing the historical context of the development of calligraphy in the past dynasties. The exhibition lasts until July 5th.
    The Qin and Han dynasties were a critical period for the development of calligraphy. On the one hand, the divergence of ancient script writing and inscriptions in the three dynasties was unified, resulting in the standard calligraphy style of small seal script; The province matured and developed into a popular calligraphy style in the Han Dynasty. As the trend of the times tends to be simpler and faster, and the official script continues to evolve and differentiate, there are cursive script, running script and regular script. The gradual change of calligraphy did not happen overnight. Therefore, after entering the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, transitional calligraphy styles and mixed calligraphy styles with various styles can be seen from time to time. law.
    The Sui and Tang dynasties were another critical period. Political unification brought about the flow of calligraphy in the north and south, and the development of brushwork became complete. Since then, regular script has become a popular calligraphy style in all dynasties. After entering the Song Dynasty, in order to preserve the long-term circulation of the calligraphy of the former sages, engravings became more and more popular. However, the Song people were not satisfied with inheriting the tradition, and the calligraphy orientation showed personal affection and natural interest.
    Since the Yuan Dynasty, the calligraphy tradition of Jin and Tang Dynasties has been continued. However, the idea of not being bound by tradition also became active, and in the Ming Dynasty there was a breath of vertical and horizontal escape. The calligraphy of the Ming people is extremely complex, and the cursive script is especially lively and free, which is suitable to contrast with those who followed the traditional laws at that time. During this period, the calligraphers with their own unique personality have also stepped out of their own paths and are not engulfed by the trend of the times.
    Since the Qing Dynasty, the three dynasties of the Qin and Han dynasties have been unearthed one after another, which can be said to be unique. Under the influence of a pragmatic academic atmosphere, the people of the Qing Dynasty rubbed the tablet version, so as to interact with the engraved post, and the vision of calligraphy development was able to connect the ancient and the modern, and finally innovated in seal script and official script, and led a new direction.

The full text is a four-character sentence, with neat confrontation, clear coherence, and outstanding literary talent. Dong Qichang used to write thousands of characters in different script styles such as small script, running script, and cursive script many times. Dong Qichang went to ancient times, not only took its charm, but also participated in his own meaning, and turned the ancient method into my own method. This work is no exception, it can be described as a masterpiece of its ancient times. This volume of cursive ink was once collected by the Qing Dynasty and is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
    This volume is self-titled "Ouyang Xun (557-641) Cursive Thousand Characters", written in 1628. Use the pen more sharply, and the contrast between the square and the circle, the thickness and the thinness of the lines is very strong. It is written in cursive script, but the characters are independent, the font size is similar, and the rules and regulations are quite ancient. The ink color changes from dark to light to form groups of words, creating a sense of visual rhythm, reflecting the sophisticated skills, as well as the unrestrained and confident imagery.
