Works by Waisu
Huai Su and Zhang Xu are equally famous, and are known as the "Grass Sage" in the history of Chinese calligraphy.
The two have their own advantages, not to mention more, and are collectively known as "Zhang Qiansu Crazy" or "Upside Down Drunk Susu.". ”
Huai Su's calligraphy, Li Bai has a poem "Cursive Song Line" Zanyun:
The juvenile shangren is called Huaisu, and the cursive world is called the solo step. Ink pond flew out of the Beiming fish, Pen Feng killed all the Zhongshan rabbits. In August and September, the weather is cool, and the drinkers are full of high halls. A few boxes of silk are lined up, and the Xuanzhou stone ink color is light. My teacher leaned on the rope bed after he was drunk, Whiskers swept through thousands of sheets. The wind and rain are fluttering, and the falling flowers and snow are vast. Get up and keep your hands on the wall, a line of numbers as big as a bucket. Frightened as a ghost, All the time I saw the dragon and snake walking. The left plate and the right side are like shock and lightning, like fighting with Chu Han. There are several in the seven counties of Hunan, and the family barrier book is full of inscriptions. Wang Yishao,Zhang Boying, Ancient times a few waves got their name. Zhang Qian's old death is not enough, and I am not teaching the ancients. In ancient times, everything was born noble, so why should Gongsun Da Niang dance.
Here not only will Huai Su be blown into the sky, but there will also be "Zhang Qian's old age and death is not enough", which is obviously to demean Zhang Xu and raise Huai Su.
So is Huai Su a little taller than Zhang Xu? Not necessarily. The art of calligraphy is something that I personally feel quite heavy on. In fact, Zhang Xu's behavior is different from Huai Su's, Zhang Xu's creation is to be mad, and Huai Su wants to drink. Both were great calligraphers and both performance artists.
From the official level, Zhang Xu is obviously more recognized. Emperor Wenzong of Tang once issued a rare edict to the whole country, and Li Bai's songs and poems, Zhang Xu's cursive writings, and Pei Min's sword dance were the "three absolutes" of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Bai, Zhang Xu and Pei Min are ranked together with the "Poetry Book Sword", but he prefers that Huai Su is stronger than Zhang Xu, so his personal perception and the evaluation of future generations may not be consistent, even if you are a "poetry immortal".
However, Li Bai also praised Zhang Xu in "The Tiger Line": "Every Chu people zhang Xuqi, the heart hides the wind and clouds. The three Wu Bangbo are looking forward to it, and the heroes of the four seas are pushing each other. ”
Yesterday, it was said that Zhang Xu "has no knowledge of the world in his heart", and today he said that "Zhang Qian's old age and death are not enough", which shows how unreliable it is to write poetry after drinking.
Many people suspect that this work is Huai Su's own work, and it is not known that he has raised his own value under the guise of Taibai.
However, the words written out cannot deceive people, and indeed they are all "grass saint" level.
