There are many appointment letters signed by Mr. Sun Yat-sen. This is the first time I have seen a handwritten appointment letter appointing Chiang Kai-shek as the principal. It has only 16 characters, and the strokes are full and thick. The brushwork is calm, unhurried, like a spring breeze. The handwriting is clear and well preserved, making it very precious.

From this appointment letter, we can see that the content of this appointment letter is very simple and concise, with only one sentence: "Appoint Chiang Kai-shek as the principal of the military academy." Although this sentence is simple, the meaning is very clear and the handwriting is also very good. Let's take a look.


This letter looks very imposing, especially the use of ink, which is very level and thick, but the strokes are very light. We can clearly see that some characters even have a mist. Each character is very regular and powerful. Although there is not much slope, it has a very textured feeling. For example, the character "特" is small on the left and big on the right, thick on the top and thin on the bottom. This contrast surprises you, right? The strokes of the character "任" are straight and reveal a calm atmosphere, but the strokes of the two characters "军" are very different. The most obvious is a vertical line, one is longer and the other is shorter, but the strokes are very sharp.


The strokes of the two characters "校" are also very different. The strokes of the first character "校" are thick but short, especially the first one. Once pressed, there is a strong sense of oppression. In addition, we also found that the character "令" is written in a special way, with a trace of the combination of inscriptions and calligraphy. The left stroke is strong and smooth, and the stroke ends quickly, while the right stroke starts high and ends almost flat. Is this treatment method impressive? Just a few figures show how extraordinary Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy is. It has both traditional skills and modern atmosphere. The combination of the two forms a brand new picture.


By comparing it with other calligraphy works of Sun Yat-sen, you can see the difference between this handwritten appointment letter and some other inscriptions. Some other inscriptions are more majestic, while these inscriptions are basically in the form of "bang". A majestic aura is just like this on paper. What do you think of this appointment letter if you love calligraphy? Are you surprised?


Before this, we have admired many of Sun Yat-sen's calligraphy works, but none of them is as unique as this appointment letter. It is calm and has a touch of literary elegance. It is truly unique. Please express your own views on this appointment letter and share them with us.
