Huangzhou cold food paste is the representative work of Su Shi's running script. This is a poem to send a revival, and it is a sigh of life caused by Su Shi's relegation to Huangzhou for three years.
The poem is desolate and affectionate, expressing Su Shi's melancholy and lonely mood at this time. The calligraphy of this poem is produced in this mood and situation. Throughout calligraphy, ups and downs, strokes stretch, radiant and unrestrained, and there is no shortage of pens. Huangzhou Cold Food Poetry Post has a great influence in the history of calligraphy, which is called "the third running script in the world" and is also a leader in Su Shi's calligraphy works.
In modern times, the fate of Huangzhou cold food poetry posts became bumpy and bizarre. In the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1860), the British and French allied forces burned the Yuanmingyuan, and the cold food station was almost burned out. Then it went to the people and was acquired by Feng. Later, he went to Japan and got this painting from Japanese collector Ju Chi Xingtang. 1September, 923, Ju Chi's family was destroyed in the Tokyo earthquake, and the calligraphy and paintings of ancient celebrities were almost destroyed. At that time, Kikuchi Xingtang risked his life to rescue the cold food station from the fire, which became a much-told story for a while. During World War II, Tokyo was repeatedly bombed by the US Air Force. Fortunately, the cold food post was unscathed.
