[Fu Shan Cursive Poem Axis]
Cursive Poem Axis, Qing Dynasty, Fu Shan Book, damask, cursive, 193.5 cm vertical and 51.5 cm horizontal
Interpretation:
Sitting alone on Chen Ta, no guests can sing piano. In the quiet mountains, who knows there is no stuffy heart. Fu Shan, a 76-year-old man, wrote under the willow in the small garden
The “76 year old” is signed. A large number of works of Fu Shan that have survived in the world are rarely dated. We can only infer the date of their creation from the aspects of style and style. Therefore, this work is of great significance to the study of Fu Shan’s calligraphic chronology, especially the style of his later years
This book is an excerpt from Yang Su’s “Sitting Alone in the Shanzhai to Xue Neishi”. This kind of cursive banner is the most common form of writing by Fu Shan, and it also best shows the momentum of his cursive opening and closing. The function of the brush is light and heavy, and the vertical and horizontal strokes are free. The thickness and moisture of the ink are controlled very carefully, which fully shows the skill of Fu Shan in his later years. Zhao Yancheng of the Qing Dynasty once commented on Fu Shan as follows: “The young master’s writing is magnificent, elegant and aggressive. I said that Wang Mengjin is the first famous book in Shunkang. Now, reading the young master’s book, people can match it and want to surpass it.”
