The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous country with close foreign cultural exchanges. In addition to Xuanzang's journey to India and Jianzhen's journey to Japan, the imperial court at that time recruited foreign "students", such as the "Tang envoys" sent by Japan, to learn Chinese traditional culture and master calligraphy, painting, poetry, etc.


Among them, Kukai and Tachibana no Ise were the most talented. They visited many wise men and learned the complete structure and system of calligraphy, inheriting the orthodox brushwork of the "Two Wangs". Kukai even took only two years to understand the techniques that others needed more than 20 years to learn, and then brought back a large number of calligraphy scrolls.


As a result, Japan's brushwork system was perfected, the artistic style became more mature, and many masters emerged. In addition to the famous "Three Brushes and Three Traces", there was a "genius" in the Edo period.He truly inherited the ancient methods of the Jin and Tang dynasties and was known as the "Saint of Calligraphy" in Japan., this person is Kan Ming Kaiya.


The Edo period corresponds to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, there were only a few authentic works from the Jin and Tang dynasties collected by the imperial palace, making it difficult for the world to get a glimpse of the correct ancient methods. However, most of the works brought to Japan by the "Tang envoys" were well preserved and complete.

Therefore, Guan Minghaiwu focused on learning from the ancients. In the early days, he copied Mi Fu's calligraphy, and later he learned from famous calligraphers such as Konghai, Wang Xizhi, Zhao Mengfu and Yan Zhenqing.He learned the lost secrets of Wang Xizhi's brushwork and made a name for himself with it.


He has mastered a style of cursive script that is elegant, peaceful, vigorous and varied. Although few people in China know his name, he has a high status in the Japanese calligraphy world, equivalent to the "Second Sage" Yan Zhenqing.Calligraphers with a vision far superior to that of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties

Even his running script "Inscription on the White Jade Well" is of a higher level than that of the "Tang Dynasty Masters". The whole article has a smooth flow of energy, the characters are lively and beautiful, the strokes are full of emotions, and sometimes they are entangled, with a sense of emptiness and elegance of ancient charm.


Naturally, the internal strength is not lacking either. Compared with the thin and vigorous style commonly seen in China, the characters are fuller and solid. Every stroke is ready to go, sharp and capable, with strong and penetrating strength, and a hint of sharpness revealed in the elegance.

Since the Song Dynasty, the calligraphy world has repeatedly simplified the brushwork of the "Two Wangs". For example, Zhao Mengfu used a simple and smooth brushstroke, eliminating twists and turns.andThe Guanming Sea House has no deletions, and every stroke is solid and in place, fully demonstrating the ancient method


Take the character "通" in the scroll as an example. The horizontal stroke beside it is wavy and twisty. This is formed by the continuous accumulation of strength and pauses in the brush. It can allow the ink to penetrate the back of the paper, enhance the rich texture of the strokes, and withstand the analysis of future generations.

It can be said that the ancient method has been preserved very thoroughly, and the aura is vigorous and elegant. This kind of skill is hard to see in the works of Zhao Dong and others. I often copy it.You can learn the purest Jin and Tang techniques, feel the colorful changes in the ancients' brushwork.


At the same time, the length of "Bai Yujing Ming" is suitable, and one can systematically master the secrets of the "Two Wangs". In the future, when copying other rubbings in China, one can also follow the clues and master them as soon as possible. Nowadays, there are very few calligraphy works handed down by Guan Minghaiwu.This work is out of print, Few people in Japan have seen it, and it is not circulated in China.
