Li Quan Ming of Jiucheng Palace in the Song and Tang Dynasties

[The Ming of Li Quan in Jiucheng Palace of the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty]

The Ming of Li Quan in Jiucheng Palace is cut and framed in white paper with a total of 26 pieces, each half of which is 20.9 cm in length and 13.9 cm in width
Tang stele, written by Wei Zheng, Ouyang Inquire Book, inscription seal script, inscription regular script, 24 lines, 50 lines. The monument is 2.44m high and 1.18m wide. In June of the sixth year of Zhenguan’s reign (632), he stood at Jiucheng Palace in Linyou (now in the northeast of Baoji, Shaanxi Province). The stone still exists today, but after being gouged out, it has been damaged too much and is not the original appearance. The rubbings of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Forbidden City are the works of Li Qi, the emperor’s son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, which were collected by Gao Shiqi and King Zhao Huai. The words “covering the loss” in the third line of the inscription are intact (see the fifth opening), and the words “covering the loss” in the fourth line of the inscription are intact (see the fourth opening), which is the best extant
Jiucheng Palace is the summer palace of the Sui and Tang emperors. It was called Renshou Palace in the Sui Dynasty, changed to Jiucheng Palace in Zhenguan, and changed to Wannian Palace in Yonghuijian. According to the inscription, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty came here in April of the seventh year of Zhenguan’s reign. “After looking at the Taiguan Temple, walking leisurely in the shade of the western city, hesitating under the high pavilion, looking down at the jue soil, he felt slightly moist, so he guided it with a stick, and a spring gushed out with it. It was inherited from the stone sill, and led into a canal, which was as clear as a mirror, and as sweet as a lily.” This explains the origin of Li Spring. The end of the inscription said, “The yellow house is not expensive, and the world is worried. When people play with its beauty, I will take it as it is. I will return the truth to the truth. I will substitute the quality of the text for the truth. I will think highly of falling, and I will hold the full precepts.” There is an exhortation in the song, which is Wei Zheng’s admonition to Taizong
The Ming of Li Quan in Jiucheng Palace was written by Ouyang Xun in his later years. It is full of vigor and vitality. The round pen is often used for writing and stamping, which appears smooth and smooth. The hook is written by turning method. The curve is long and suitable for strong support of the whole character. These show the characteristics of dissolving official script into regular script, as Guo Shangxian commented: “The inscription of Li Quan is high and full, square and round, which is the combination of official script of Han Dynasty and regular script of Wei and Jin Dynasty.” Therefore, for more than a thousand years, this tablet has become a model for people to learn regular script
