I remember someone asked me this question before - is calligraphy important in terms of "form" or "meaning". In this regard, Su Shi, a great writer and calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, gave us a clear answer.
The beauty of calligraphy is in the bone phase, and the well-known "Yan Muscle and Willow Bone" highlights this point. The beauty of calligraphy also lies in the meaning. This kind of literary artistic conception and the inner artistic conception of the calligrapher all infect us.
Today, I will share the representative of Yan Zhenqing, who is known as the "second largest book in the world" and Yan Zhenqing's book - "Manuscript of the Sacrifice of Nephews". "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephews" is a masterpiece of calligraphy that can be sung and cried, Yan Zhenqing appealed to the sad and passionate mood on the end of the pen, and the pen went down, pouring thousands of miles.
Through the font, we seem to see the awe-inspiring and iron-clad anti-Japanese war hero Yan Zhenqing, the spirit of loyal ministers and martyrs, which makes people respect and love him. When copying, we should not only carefully interpret the so-called "meaning" of the calligrapher, but also pay attention to the coherent relationship between the calligraphy style and the font.
