[Zhao Zhiqian’s Four Screens of Regular Script Fu Ruizhi]

Four Screens of Regular Script Fu Ruizhi, Qing Dynasty, Zhao Zhiqian’s book, paper edition, 175.4 cm vertically and 43.1 cm horizontally
This screen excerpts four words from the Book of Song · Fu Ruizhi, with three lines in each of the first three screens and four lines at the end. It reads from itself: “The Song Book Fu Ruizhi is the language of the Song Dynasty. The book is submitted to the Great Duke of Hunan Province for reference, and the same rule is applied to Ding Maoqiu in August, and the same rule is applied to Zhao Zhiqian.” The next seal is “Zhao Zhiqian’s seal”, and “there was this person before the Sui Dynasty after the Han Dynasty”. No hidden seal. It can be seen from the reading language that this screen book was written in the sixth year of Tongzhi (1867). The author was 39 years old. At that time, Zhao was still an official. Judging from the tone of the title reading, it should be the work given by the book to the boss
Zhao Zhiqian has profound attainments in regular script, and people commented on his book that: “It is beautiful to walk in and out of the North Stele with regular script.” His regular script first learned from Yan Lugong, and then combined the hardness of the North Stele with the strength of Yan Shu, thus forming a unique style of regular script. One of Zhao Zhiqian’s works uses more seals to seal “there was this person after the Han Dynasty and before the Sui Dynasty”. From this, we can see that his works take more calligraphy from the Wei and Jin Dynasties between the Han and Sui Dynasties
This screen is a typical work of Zhao’s calligraphy style in the early period.
