Many emperors in China wrote well, but only a few of them were real calligraphers, such as Li Shimin, Evonne and Zhao Gou. Li Shimin (597-649) left two calligraphy works, both of which were carved in stone. One is the inscription on Jinci Temple, and the other is The Name of Hot Springs. The Name of Hot Springs was written by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and inscribed in the 21st year of Zhenguan (AD 648). The original stone has been lost. There is a story in The History of the Book of Emperor Taizong: "The emperor (Emperor Taizong) was often ill, but it was difficult to master the Tao, so he wrote a blank word and ordered Yu Shinan to fill it in." To prove that Wei Zhi said, "Did I try my best to learn from the South?" The sign is' only the word ge is quite realistic' ". A word hit the nail on the head of Emperor Taizong. In the south of the city, the calligrapher bravely won the two kings' law. When Emperor Taizong asked about the danger of the book, it naturally belonged to the two kings. Emperor Taizong was indifferent to the books of the right army, and used his privilege to collect the original works of the right army and enjoy them every morning and evening. He also ordered Xiao Yi to obtain the original Preface to Lanting from the eloquence of Yin Shan monks. Whether he was buried in Zhaoling after his death is still an unsolved mystery. Emperor Taizong lived up to his superior conditions. His running script is hidden in the right army, graceful and graceful, and his brushwork is vivid. When writing this inscription, Emperor Taizong was in his later years, so his calligraphy was mature and fluent. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the inscriptions before the Tang Dynasty were made of seal script, official script and regular script, and the inscription of running script should start from Emperor Taizong. This is not only the reason of power, but also the spiritual embodiment of Emperor Taizong's "Dare to be the first in the world" as a monarch. In the history of calligraphy in China, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was the first person to carve tablets with running script. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, not only pushed the feudal society in China to the peak, but also personally advocated calligraphy, making the calligraphy in Tang Dynasty a brilliant page in the history of China calligraphy. Tang Taizong, in his spare time, was abstinent and had a passion for calligraphy, especially Wang Xizhi's books. He wrote a biography of Wang Xizhi himself and wrote a letter to the imperial court asking for the heritage of Xihe. So, in a few years, all parties offered sacrifices and got five official books and 58 cursive books, among which the authenticity was mixed, and Wei Zhi, Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang were ordered to identify them. Every time I got the two kings' post, I had to copy it hundreds of times, and I never forgot the Preface to Lanting, and even brought it back to Zhaoling. "If there is something good in the world, the next one will be embarrassed." Although the worship of Wang in the Tang and Song Dynasties was due to political needs, the book style in the early Tang Dynasty was under the wing of Wang Xizhi because of his preferences. In addition, he took books as officials, which made calligraphy widely circulated. Therefore, objectively, it played a positive role in promoting the prosperity of China's calligraphy art, and Taizong's calligraphy was first studied by Sui Dynasty calligrapher Shi Ling. According to Jin Shilu, "Ling is good at proofreading books, and his exquisite brushwork does not reduce Europe and danger." He often exchanged calligraphy skills with Yu Shinan, Ou Yangxun, Chu Suiliang, etc., and said, "I came to the book of the ancients, and I will never learn from it, but only seek its strength and live on its own." This reflects Tang Taizong's view of calligraphy, and it is also quite open. Later, when I became interested in western paper, I copied it day and night. I especially love the "Lanting Post" by the right army, and put it on the pillow. I often put candles in the middle of the night, and my books have made great progress. Tang Taizong's kindness, grass and flying white, is especially good at being close to ancient times and almost realistic. "The Valley Monument" says: "Emperor Taizong is heroic, and if he is unlearned, he will surpass others. It is also commendable to have the wind of Wei and Jin at the end of the year. " Handed down works include Jinci Ming and Wenquan Ming. Li Shimin's "Hot Springs Name" is an extension of the "Hot Springs Name" of the National Library of Paris, and it is a running script inscription written by Emperor Taizong for Lishan Hot Springs. This monument was erected on June 28th, the 22nd year of Zhenguan, the year before Taizong died. The original stone has long been lost. According to records, there are dozens of hot springs in the Tang Dynasty, and a line of calligraphy with the inscription "August 31, the fourth year of Yonghui (653)" proves that it is indeed the early Tang Dynasty. Then the original extension was lost. In the 26th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1900), Taoist King discovered the Tibetan Sutra Cave in Cave 16 of Mogao Grottoes in Gansu (now numbered Cave 17). There are three Dunhuang stone chambers in the cave, one of which is Wenquanming, the running script of Emperor Taizong, with 50 lines, and the other two are. Unfortunately, these three things are not at home now. The first two pages of Hot Springs, Diamond Sutra and Huadu Temple were brought to France by pelliot, and are now in the National Library of Paris. The last ten pages of Huadu Temple were brought to England by Stein before pelliot, and are now in the British Museum in London. The book style of Wenquanming is fierce and ups and downs, and the words are strange. Yu Fu wrote a postscript after the post: "Bo Shi (Yu Shinan), Xin Ben (Ou Yangxun) and Deng Shan (Chu Suiliang) have their own peculiarities, but if this book is regarded as calligraphy, it should be regarded as a courtier in the north." It is highly praised. The calligraphy style of this tablet is different from that of the four schools in the early Tang Dynasty, but it is bold and unconstrained by Wang Xianzhi. Some people think that Tang Taizong's calligraphy is between the King and Xiao Wang, but his works seem to come from Wang Xianzhi. However, out of the majesty of the emperor, he was extremely disrespectful to Wang Xianzhi. Ceng Yun: "Look at his personality, as thin as a dead tree in the middle of winter; Look at his pen, I must be a hungry servant of Yan's family. " He mocked Xiao Wang's motives and was later discovered by Mi Fei in the Song Dynasty. There is a clear record in Mi Fei's Historical Records: "The right army of Taizong Mechanics can't come, so he resumed his studies and wanted to climb the right army, so he cursed." Emperor Taizong praised Wang and suppressed Xiao Wang, which influenced the calligraphy circle in the early Tang Dynasty until Sun's book spectrum was also discussed accordingly. This fault, on the one hand, temporarily hides the vigorous and unrestrained book style because of depression, on the other hand, it gradually smears the peaceful king's book style with court color and gradually loses its luster. Emperor Taizong learned to write calligraphy in a unique way. His "On Books" said: "Today, I am in the book of the ancients, not learning its potential, but seeking its strength, and the potential is self-generated. The reason why I do everything first is that I can succeed. " Screen Post won the interest of the right army cursive script and turned the situation around. What is lacking is that the bone strength is slightly weak. The most difficult thing to find is bone strength, and learning cursive script is the best experience.
