Appreciation of Fu Shan’s calligraphy works. "One of the best running scripts in the world" and "Orchid Pavilion preface" are known as "one of the best running scripts in the world". Wang Xizhi's calligraphy art not only inherited the writing style of Han Li, but also absorbed the pen style of Zhong Yao and Wang Xianzhi. Formed his own unique style. This is also one of the more representative works in the history of Chinese calligraphy. The reputation of "one of the best running scripts in the world" is evident. However, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is not limited to this, he also created many other Calligraphy works, such as part of the "Preface to the Lanting Preface", are also his works in his later years.
1. Fu Shan's calligraphy "Xicun Manyin", why do some people say they can't see the original work?
Good answer 1:
Fu Shan's cursive script "Xicun Manyin" is original. I don't know where your story comes from.
There are 12 panels in cursive script of Xishan Manyin, on paper. 180X4800cm. Thirty-six lines, a total of 373 words, written when Fu Shan was 74 years old. It is a collection of poems and essays written by Fu Shan when he returned to his hometown after leaving office. The original work is collected by the family of Mr. Zhao Disheng of Yuci. Zhao Disheng was the president of Xinhua Branch in Beijing.
In 1990, Liu Jiang and Xie Qiyuan enlarged and copied the original work to 225X60cm, and laid the stone in the west corridor of Fushan Stele Forest Park. Because this work was discovered late, it was not included in Fu Qingzhu's "Frost Red Niche Collection" and "Fu Shan Complete Works".
I don’t know where this original work is now. The stone carvings are easy to see. It can be said that the characteristics of Fu Shan’s cursive calligraphy are brought to the extreme. Looking at it, the lines are spiraling and entangled, like a mess, which is unspeakable. . Moreover, the thickness of the strokes, the smooth and weak lines, the cumbersome connection of the structure, and the spread of closed circles, there is not much to like about it. After thinking about it, it is still not a common word.
This work is very different from his previous works, including his shocking view of calligraphy.
In order to resist the trend of elegant and beautiful calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty, and to develop and create new trends, Fu Shan proposed: It is better to be clumsy than clever, ugly than charming, and fragmented. Slippery, preferring truthfulness to arrangement, only to this day, with the changes in creative purposes and aesthetic concepts, it is regarded as the norm by a large number of people. What's more, they don't hesitate to use paper and ink, holding a mop, on a more than ten meters long On the rice paper, soaked in thick ink, he jumped up and down, shouting and making fuss about the three words "big and clumsy".
Looking at Fu Shan's calligraphy, the Diamond Sutra in small regular script is unsophisticated, jerky, and quite desirable. It is a very continuous and winding cursive calligraphy. In any case, because of the excessive winding, the structure will eventually become cramped, the lines will be cramped, and the atmosphere will be narrow.
Below is a photo of the original monument, please take a look at it.

Appreciation of Fu Shan's cursive script "Xicun Manyin" with twelve panels, on paper. 180X4800cm. Thirty-six lines, a total of 373 words, written when Fu Shan was 74 years old. The original work is stored in the home of Mr. Zhao Disheng in Yuci. In 1990, Liu Jiang and Xie Qiyuan enlarged the original work to 225X60cm and laid the stone in the west corridor of Fushan Stele Forest Park.
Fu Shan's cursive script "Xicun Man Yin" does have the difference of "watching a man hanging with a needle and dew, the thunder of thunder and falling rocks, the fear of flying beasts, the frightened state of luan dancing snake, the trend of the cliff and the collapse of the cliff. It has a high shape. It may be as heavy as a collapsing cloud, or as light as a cicada's wing. If it is guided, the spring will flow, and if it is stopped, the mountain will be peaceful. It is as slender as the first moon emerging from a cliff, and falling as if it is like stars lining the river." They are all embodied in nature. , imitating the charm of heaven and earth. Duck: wild duck. "Those who have accumulated money recently are even more fortunate than Silver Hook." Silver Hook refers to calligraphy, and fortunately it also involves Fu Shan's calligraphy works.
"Xicun Manyin" has rich connotations, "The old trees are light and pure, and the new autumn sees white clouds. Chatting is a formation of returning geese, no longer counting the geese." It has three levels of artistic conception, and the literal level is written on rice paper as white as clouds. , write a few lines of calligraphy like a formation of wild geese at will, how dare you compete with Wang Xianzhi's "Geese Group Calligraphy"; the second floor describes how poetic and picturesque the autumn scenery of the hometown of West Village is: looking up at the wild geese groups in the sky, overlooking the geese playing in Fenshui, the West Village In the new autumn, there is an idyllic scenery with a good harvest in sight; the third layer of the meaning is borrowed from the paper commonly used in the study: "Jiu Chu Lian Guangjing" Guangjing (Ming) means that my old master is the Ming Dynasty; the ink: "皃" "There are several elk flowers in the Hut", and the pen: "The bad pen is the rare thing". The deep meaning between the lines is Fu Shan's pity and longing for the old capital of the Ming Dynasty. The formation of wild geese flying south expresses Fu Shan's strong belief in not forgetting to return to the Ming Dynasty.
2. What are the achievements and characteristics of Fu Shan’s calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty?
Good answer 1:
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture (today's Taiyuan City), located in the hinterland of Shanxi Province, a famous Taoist figure emerged who was versatile, strong in integrity, thoughtful and ambitious. His deeds and life are not found in official historical records. Even in the county and government annals that specifically record local historical traces, there are only a few words about him. However, his reputation and influence are quite large and profound. It is no exaggeration to say that he is almost a household name in the Taiyuan area and even the Three Jin Dynasties, known to all women and children, and he is quite popular among the people. It is well-known throughout Shanxi and even the country. He is Fu Shan - Fu Qingzhu, a man with lofty ideals and benevolence during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Fu Shan was not only a calligrapher and painter, but also a representative of the survivors of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a leader of northern academic thought, a famous scholar, and even a "martial arts master". His life and events have long become myths and legends in Shanxi. At that time, Taoism and Buddhism were all respected as the foundation. Fu Shan had a high reputation in the calligraphy circles of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was as famous as Huang Daozhou and Wang Duo. Fu Shan's calligraphy is very individual. In his early years, he first learned calligraphy from people in the Jin and Tang Dynasties, then turned to learn from Zhao Zikao, and finally studied from Yan Lugong. His view on calligraphy aesthetics is that "calligraphy is valued by people." Among the Confucian scholars in the early Qing Dynasty, Fu Shan was unparalleled in his vast knowledge and great achievements. Fu Shan's calligraphy was respected by people at the time as "one of the writers in the early Qing Dynasty". His paintings have also reached a high artistic level. His paintings of landscapes, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, etc. are all exquisite and ranked among the best. "Painting Record" says: "Fu Qing mainly paints landscapes, with few scratches, hills, valleys and Leike. He wins with bones, and the ink bamboo also has energy." His calligraphy and painting are permeated with his aloof character and noble integrity, and overflow with patriotism. The breath of Chinese classical calligraphy and painting has won high praise from future generations.
3. Is it worth spending 30,000 yuan to buy a painting by Fu Shan?
If it's an authentic piece, it's probably NT$30,000 to NT$50,000 per square foot. For high-quality products, the price can be increased by NT$30,000 to NT$50,000 per square foot. But looking at your work, my opinion is very questionable. The position of the title is in a very peculiar position, which is impossible for a master of calligraphy and painting. In addition, the bamboos painted are not of the highest quality. His calligraphy and paintings signed Dingchen are very rare. It is only common in some poems. The calligraphy style of the title is also far from the calligraphy style. Please see the small print works in the complete collection of Fu Shan's calligraphy. At first glance, there is a flow of real energy, and the line skills are very impressive.
4. Is this calligraphy by Mr. Fu Shan his own poem? What word is missing from the last two sentences?
Good answer 1:
Interpretation: Lotuses towering over jade green peaks, gurgling green water and golden sands. There is no need to visit Sanshan Road, I have already arrived at Jiu Xian's home. The poem comes from Shangguan Wan'er's "Twenty-Five Poems of Princess You Changning Flowing in the Cup and Pool"
Good answer 2:
Thanks for the invitation. Fu Qingzhu's cursive script is neither crazy nor strange, and his laws are very strict. The four sentences are selected from "Twenty-Five Princess You Changning Flows into the Cup and Pond" written by Shangguan Wan'er of the Tang Dynasty. There are no missing characters in this book. Unfortunately, the last character in the third sentence of the poem was originally "路", but Qingzhu seems to have mistakenly changed it to "Xu" or another character. Or it can be seen as "mountain road" and written as "ridge", with another word missing.
Original poem: Lotuses towering over jade green peaks, gurgling green water and golden sands. There is no need to visit Sanshan Road, I have already arrived at Jiu Xian's home.
5. What are the top ten most expensive contemporary calligraphy works?

At the same time, collecting contemporary calligraphy is not a simple investment behavior. It requires a certain understanding and identification ability in the field of calligraphy art.
Good answer 2:
The most expensive contemporary calligraphy work among the top ten is "Lanting Preface"
The reason is that "Lanting Preface" was written by Wang Xizhi. It is a classic work of Chinese calligraphy with very high historical and cultural value. It is also Wang Xizhi's personal representative work, so it has become one of the more valuable works of contemporary calligraphy.
