Description:
Lu Ji (261-303)’s “Wen Fu” has more than 1600 words, but the calligraphers took it easy to write. The whole volume is not only beautiful in shape, but also excellent in writing. Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322) identified it as the authentic work of Lu Cambodian, and its achievements were not inferior to “Ou (Yangxun), Yu (Shinan), Chu (Suiliang), Xue (Ji)”, but also became the representative of Lu Cambodian in the eyes of Yuan people. Lu Cambodian’s calligraphy came from his uncle Yu Shinan in the middle of the seventh century. Since the Yuan Dynasty, this volume has exerted its influence with Lu Kanzhi’s works, so no matter who the author belongs to, it is difficult to ignore the importance of this work in the history of books.
