Interpretation:
In order to visit Tang Xianji, we chanted whips and went out of the suburbs. The stone dome is covered by clouds, and the stone presses the earth slightly. Close the green mountain on the face and walk along the green dragon in succession. Eight passes have been named since ancient times. Visit the recent work of Yan Lugong’s Eight Pass Stele. Wang Shixuan
The signature of the article: “Visit the recent work of Yan Lugong’s Eight Pass Stele. Wang Shixuan.” Seal “Wang Shixuan” and “Tuogu” white seal. The first chapter is “Songzhai” Zhu Wenyin. Jiancang printed “Jianye Wu’s Yintongqing Popu Jiancang Jinshi Calligraphy and Painting Records” Zhu Wenyin
This axis is a five-character rhythmic poem. The full name of “Baduan Stele” is “Baduan Zhai Hui Bao De Ji”, which was carved in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty (772). Yan Zhenqing wrote and combined the book in Shangqiu, Henan Province. The font has a unique posture in the square and vigorous, and is highly respected by the world. The calligraphers Yan Zhenqing, Zhao Mengfu, and Chu Suiliang of Wang Shixuan, who were still in the seal script in their later years, were famous for their “extremely thin and hard” and “old strength”, and were as famous as Jiang Chenying, who was called “Jiang Wang” at that time. The book points are thin and straight, and the branch layout is sparse and clear, which fully shows the refreshing style of Wang’s calligraphy
