Huang Tingjian, whose courtesy name was Lu Zhi, also known as Fu Weng, a Taoist in the Valley, was born in Fenning, Hongzhou (now Xiushui, Jiangxi), and was known as "Huang Valley" in the world. The poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, together with Zhang Lei, Chao Buzhi and Qin Guan, traveled to study under Su Shi's family. He was known as the "Four Scholars of the Su family" in the world and founded the Jiangxi Poetry School.


Huang Tingjian was born in a family with profound knowledge. His father was a famous poet and he had contacts with Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu and Mei Yaochen at that time. He was extremely intelligent since he was a child, but he had many fates and bumpy official career. He was very similar to Su Dongpo. He was also passionate about Buddhism and Laoism, no less than Su. "History of the Song Dynasty·Biography of Wenyuan" said of him: "Ting Jian's knowledge and articles are innate", and Chen Shidao said that he "learned from Du Fu in poetry, was good at cursive script, and also developed his own style of regular script." He himself said: "I have studied cursive script for more than 30 years. At first, he took Zhou Yue as his teacher, so he kept up his vulgarity for twenty years. Later, he got Su Caiweng (Shun Qin)'s beautiful calligraphy, and he got the ancients' writing style. Later, he got Zhang Changshi, Huai Su, Gao Xian Ink marks are a glimpse into the beauty of brushwork."

It is included in the "Xihongtang Dharma Book", "Yuyantang Tie", "Haining Chen's Tibetan Authentic Tie" and other series of posts.


Huang Tingjian wrote these three poems as a gift to Zhao Jingdao because he liked to learn his calligraphy. The rulers mentioned Su Shi's calligraphy and rated it as "the best in the world" at that time. Huang Tingjian believed that learning one's own calligraphy would easily lead to "a weak and weak pen", and suggested that Jingdao should learn from Su Shi. Huang's calligraphy and Su Shi's calligraphy have their own merits, but Su's calligraphy is too rich, which is also a minor flaw. Huang once joked that Su's calligraphy "a stone crushes a toad", while Su retorted and mocked the yellow calligraphy "a dead snake hangs on a tree". Both sides mentioned the other's characteristics, At the same time, they also pointed out their shortcomings, and the teasing between them was all in good faith. It is precisely because of this that it has become an eternal legend.

When Tingjian bowed again, the road was tired and trailing, and no movement or stillness could be attached. So for about sixty days, rain and snow were blocked everywhere, even to Jingzhou. The spring air is warm. How about not checking your physical strength today? If the king does not work hard, he can enjoy the pleasure of sharing words with his colleagues? The people he sent were very helpful, and he was very helpful on the luggage path. Going up the gorge in Jingzhou, taking a boat is not expensive but convenient. There was no need for the person, so he was sent back. Tomorrow we will board the boat and set off. We will not be able to stop you for this long distance. We will increase our feelings by reading the book. We must respect ourselves for the sake of the Tao. I would like to tighten my hand, and on March 4th, Tingjian will pay homage again. Deacon Xuande of Gongyun County.

【Explanation】


Ting Jian paused, Cheng Hui's ginger and ginkgo felt very far away, two pounds of Yong Su, one bunch of Qingzhou dates, many generals are diligent in their pursuit, and it is not a crime to commit blasphemy, Ting Jian paused.


"Baojiang Tie", also known as "Chenghui Tie", has 5 lines and 37 words. There is no date of writing, but judging from the brushwork, structure, and style, it should have been written in the early years, probably between 1086 and 1093 Yuanyou years. This post captures the flying, free and easy charm of Zhang Xu and Huai Su's cursive calligraphy. The writing style is tight and sharp, with sharp and thin strength, strong momentum and various changes in structure. From the first line of writing, you can see that the pen and ink stretch freely, and it becomes more casual at the end. It can be said that the mind and hand are free, and it has reached a state of perfection. Although this note is small, it contains countless things, reaching the realm of Dongpo's saying: "When you are young, you must have magnificent weather and gorgeous colors. As you get older and mature, you will become dull" and "unintentional good things lead to good things".

He only has a wide cup for his mouth, which is only half a liter. I am very ashamed of my empty vase. I have received the gift repeatedly. If there is anything you need, please give me instructions.

Sweat in May. This cannot be done today. If you want to be smart, you can observe it. Chengwanliang went ahead. Cherish it. Xiangjiang is all close to the past. But the hot summer is not the time to write or write. Unable to write a book. Those who see it know this meaning. Tingjian paused and stood before the king.
