Fan Page of He Shaoji’s Self-written Poems in Running Script, Qing Dynasty, He Shaoji’s book, paper, 16.5 cm in length and 48.8 cm in width
The running script on the fan page reads “The wind sets the clouds and the rain clears, and the moonlight is as clear as the water. The firefly is moist and feeble, and the watchman is watching the sound of the night. Sitting alone, I don’t know the zero dew weight, and when I am sad, I spend the night in the cool.” Self-knowledge: “Record the old work as the brother of the same year of the military minister. He Shaoji of the state of Taoism.” Seal “He Shaoji Seal”, “Zi Zhen”, “He Shi of the state of Taoism” and other seals
This fan leaf calligraphy is based on the seal script. The strokes are square and round, energetic, vigorous and comfortable, and detached. It can be described as clumsy and skillful, elegant and refined. Because He Shaoji has a wide range of books and profound cultural heritage, he has incorporated more literati temperament and learning into his calligraphy. This fan is not so much the work of a great calligrapher as the calligraphy of a college student. It looks very elegant.
